Seeing Qu Feiyan's sudden change in expression, Xiao Zhao asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Qu Feiyan said with a bitter face, "Just now, the young master used his true qi to transmit his voice, telling me to break through to the mid-stage of the Innate Realm within two months. Otherwise, he would have sealed my acupoints, then read a few pages of his newly written storybook in front of me, and then skipped a few pages to continue reading."
Hearing Qu Feiyan's words, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but take a soft breath.
He was clearly frightened by the punishment Chu Qinghe mentioned.
"Is the punishment this time, young master, so severe?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan's bitterness deepened.
This isn't just cruel; it's downright ruthless!
Seeing Qu Feiyan like this, Xiao Zhao chuckled and said, "Serves you right! Who told you to speak ill of the young master in secret?"
Qu Feiyan pouted and said, "I just wanted Sister Lin to get to know Young Master faster!"
After her gaze lingered on Qu Feiyan and Xiao Zhao for a moment, Lin Shiyin asked in confusion, "What storybook were you talking about just now?"
Qu Feiyan said with a long face, "It's just a storybook that Young Master writes to pass the time."
Thinking about it, Qu Feiyan glanced at Lin Shiyin beside her, her eyes darting around as she smiled and explained, "Although this storybook was written by the young master for fun, it is ten times better than the storybooks sold in the bookstores outside."
"So when we're bored, we like to read these stories by the young master. And the content is all super depressing. Sister Lin, you can read them when you have free time, just to balance work and rest!"
Lin Shiyin nodded gently in acknowledgment of Qu Feiyan's kindness.
Seeing that Lin Shiyin wanted to continue asking questions, Qu Feiyan, who had just been given a punishment task by Chu Qinghe, immediately covered her mouth and mumbled indistinctly to avoid being punished again for speaking out of turn: "Anyway, Sister Lin, you'll understand what's going on with Young Master after you stay here a while."
Xiao Zhao, standing beside her, smiled sweetly and said, "Yes! After a while, Sister Lin will know what kind of person Young Master really is. Anyway, it's really nice to be able to stay by Young Master's side; you hardly have to worry about anything."
Seeing the two women's natural and heartfelt response, Lin Shiyin nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
When Chu Qinghe's handsome yet languid appearance came to mind, she couldn't help but feel a little more anticipation for the future.
Summer weather is often like a woman's face, changing faster than anything else.
Even though it was mealtime, the courtyard was still bathed in bright sunlight.
But by the time they finished their meal, a thick layer of dark clouds had gathered in the sky.
The raindrops started slowly, then gradually increased in speed, until they became a downpour.
Shen Shi (3-5 PM).
Inside the room, Chu Qinghe sat at the stone table, sometimes turning his head to look out the window at the rain scene, and sometimes picking up his pen to sketch small, slender characters on the paper in front of him.
Only after he had exhausted himself from writing did Chu Qinghe get up and slowly walk to the door, taking a sip of wine while admiring the rainy scene outside the window.
The sound of the heavy rain seemed to wash not only the house but also the soul.
It makes people unconsciously calm down.
Just as Chu Qinghe was enjoying the rainy scenery, Xiao Zhao's voice suddenly rang out from beside him.
"Young master, Sister Lin has been cultivating for three consecutive hours. Are you sure she can withstand such high-intensity training?"
The Sunflower Manual is, after all, a Heaven-rank martial art, and although practicing it can greatly enhance one's strength.
However, this martial art itself is of the unorthodox type.
Even the slightest carelessness can leave hidden injuries in the body.
Not to mention that Chu Qinghe upgraded the "Sunflower Manual" by one grade through the system, making it more difficult to cultivate. Gradual cultivation is the most correct choice.
If Lin Shiyin were to engage in such intense training for three consecutive hours, it wouldn't be long before she injured herself.
In response to Xiao Zhao's question, Chu Qinghe glanced at the closed room and slowly said, "She's been through a sudden upheaval and is feeling down. It's fine for her to find something to distract herself. Let her be for now!"
Sometimes it's better to guide than to suppress, especially when it comes to emotions.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhao nodded slightly and said "Oh".
After a moment, Xiao Zhao spoke again: "Young Master, how long do you think it would take for Sister Lin to take revenge, given her current cultivation progress?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "She cultivates the Sunflower Manual, which provides more significant improvement in the early stages compared to the Jade Brightness Technique. The Rusty Sect is only a second-rate force. Once she reaches the early stage of the Innate Realm, her strength should be sufficient to deal with the Rusty Sect."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe frowned and began to think, as if he had just thought of something.
Noticing Chu Qinghe's expression, Xiao Zhao asked, "Young Master, is there a problem?"
Chu Qinghe said, "It's nothing, but why would a sect have such a strange name as the Rust Sect? Could it be that the people of the Rust Sect are used to using rusty weapons in battle?"
At this moment, Dongfang Bubai's voice slowly rang out from behind.
At this moment, Dongfang Bubai, who had also finished his cultivation, said, "It's not because the weapon we used was rusty, but because the people of the Rust Sect like to coat their blades with rust before each attack. If you get hit, it's very easy to get poisoned by rust."
"Since rust itself is inexpensive, everyone from the head of the Rust Sect to newly initiated disciples can use this method to fight. In addition, the Rust Sect's martial arts and swordsmanship are all about exchanging injury for injury, with every strike a life-or-death struggle, so they are often despised in the martial arts world."
"The poison of rust?"
After hearing Dongfang Bubai's explanation and understanding the reason, Chu Qinghe's expression became somewhat subtle.
The so-called "rust poison" is actually just tetanus.
However, this poison is particularly difficult to treat, and ordinary doctors are helpless against it.
In this world, it truly could be described as: one cut for a tetanus, two cuts for your ancestors.
Therefore, after understanding why the rusty door was named "Rust," Chu Qinghe's expression immediately became strange.
"The person who created this rusty door is truly a genius."
