At Zhu Wushi's prompting, Shangguan Haitang stepped forward and knocked on the door.
A few breaths later, as Shangguan Haitang and Zhu Wushi waited, a few sounds came from behind the door, and Shangguan Haitang took a half step back.
When the vermilion gate in front of them opened, Qu Feiyan was revealed standing inside.
Looking at Qu Feiyan, who was dressed in a bright green dress and was pretty and lively, Shangguan Haitang seemed surprised that the maid who opened the door would be so beautiful.
Meanwhile, Qu Feiyan, who was inside the door, opened it and immediately glanced at Shangguan Haitang, Zhu Wushi, and the others.
After a flicker of thought in her eyes, Qu Feiyan smiled at Shangguan Haitang and asked, "Is there something you need, sister?"
Upon hearing Qu Feiyan's voice, Shangguan Haitang opened her mouth to reply.
But just as she was about to speak, Zhu Wushi's voice suddenly rang in Shangguan Haitang's ear.
After a slight pause, Shangguan Haitang finally spoke: "I hope you can convey my message to Young Master Chu that he has come to seek medical treatment at the invitation of a friend."
"Seeking medical treatment and medicine?"
Upon hearing Shangguan Haitang's words, Qu Feiyan's eyes flickered as if she had thought of something. She glanced at Zhu Wushi unconsciously before nodding in acknowledgment, and then closed the half-open door again.
After the door closed, Shangguan Haitang returned to Zhu Wushi's side.
"The girl's expression just now suggested that she had guessed her godfather's identity."
Zhu Wushi hummed in agreement and then slowly said, "I didn't expect that such a lowly maid would have the cultivation of the early stage of the Innate Realm. This surprises me quite a bit."
Upon hearing the voice, Shangguan Haitang, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Was that young lady a martial artist at the Innate Realm?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wushi nodded and said, "That's right. Moreover, it only takes a breath to move from inside this house to this gate. Your speed is comparable to your lightness skill."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Haitang was even more surprised.
"That girl is barely of marriageable age, yet she has already entered the Innate Realm. Such progress is rare even in the martial world. With such talent, how can she be just a maid?"
Zhu Wushi chuckled and said, "That's why I'm even more curious about the divine physician in this courtyard."
at the same time.
In the courtyard, listening to Qu Feiyan's description, Chu Qinghe could easily tell the identity of the outsider.
A few breaths later, Chu Qinghe chuckled to himself, "Heh! Didn't you come from the capital?"
If you were to travel by carriage from the capital to Yushui City, it would take more than half a month, even if you traveled day and night.
However, it has only been ten days since Chu Qinghe agreed to Bai Xiaosheng's request for treatment.
The only explanation is that Zhu Wushi's starting point when he came to Yushui City was not the capital.
Beside her, upon learning that the person who had come to visit this time was Zhu Wushi, Yaoyue's eyes flashed with a cold glint, clearly still harboring resentment about being tricked by Zhu Wushi before.
After a slight pause, Yaoyue looked at Chu Qinghe and asked, "Should I go back to my room?"
Hearing what Yaoyue said, Chu Qinghe paused for a moment, then gently shook his head and said, "When guests come to visit, how can the host avoid them? Besides, with you here, you can see something."
As the sound reached her ears, Yaoyue felt inexplicably pleased by Chu Qinghe's use of the three words "host" in his speech.
Then she gave a soft "hmm" in acknowledgment.
After responding to Yaoyue's call, Chu Qinghe gestured to Qu Feiyan and said, "Please invite them in!"
Qu Feiyan nodded, and her inner energy instantly began to circulate.
However, before Qu Feiyan could even make a move, Chu Qinghe's lazy voice rang out.
"Go outside, don't just sneak in a puff of smoke."
Although Qu Feiyan did not understand Chu Qinghe's meaning, she still obediently followed Chu Qinghe's instructions and walked towards the front yard.
As Qu Feiyan started to walk outside, Chu Qinghe tilted the wine glass in his hand and it fell onto his left hand.
After the subtle flow of true energy circulated, the wine in Chu Qinghe's hand turned into wisps of black smoke and slowly dissipated.
At the same time, Yaoyue, Lin Shiyin, and Xiao Zhao all smelled a faint fragrance, like that of peach blossoms.
Yaoyue took in the few remaining wisps of smoke in Chu Qinghe's palm; she knew perfectly well what Chu Qinghe was doing.
It was obvious that other poisons were being planted in the courtyard.
Immediately, Yaoyue glanced at the slightly reddish wine in her glass, then at Chu Qinghe's fair and slender hand, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.
It should be noted that Yaoyue's gaze had been fixed on Chu Qinghe ever since.
Even so, Yaoyue still couldn't figure out how the wine turned into black mist when it landed in Chu Qinghe's hands.
However, before Yaoyue could think further, with the sound of footsteps approaching, Qu Feiyan, who had just left, had already returned to the backyard.
When Qu Feiyan returned, there were two more people behind her.
Just as Chu Qinghe and the others were focusing their attention on Zhu Wushi and Shangguan Haitang, Zhu Wushi and Shangguan Haitang, who had followed Qu Feiyan into the backyard, also looked up at Chu Qinghe and the others in the courtyard.
When her gaze fell upon the three women in the courtyard—Yaoyue, Lin Shiyin, and Xiao Zhao—Shangguan Haitang was filled with astonishment at their beauty.
When Shangguan Haitang first saw Qu Feiyan, she was amazed by Qu Feiyan's beautiful face. However, she did not expect that there were three other beauties in the courtyard whose looks were no less than Qu Feiyan's.
