On this auspicious night, even Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, and Shuimu Yinji found each other much more pleasing to the eye.
Only on special occasions like the Lantern Festival or New Year's Day throughout the year can these girls have such feelings.
To some extent, this may also be one of the reasons why traditional festivals have been passed down to this day.
As Qu Feiyan and the other women entered the kitchen to begin tidying up, a peculiar sound suddenly drifted into the courtyard.
Upon hearing the sound, Dongfang Bubai stood up and leaped into the air.
Seeing this, Yaoyue curled her lip and snorted coldly, "There's a lot of trouble in this small place."
However, just as Yaoyue finished speaking, her eyes lit up as if she had sensed something, and she quickly got up and rushed out of the courtyard.
A few breaths later, less than a mile away from Chu Qinghe's residence, several disciples of the Yihua Palace immediately knelt on one knee upon the appearance of Yaoyue.
"Greetings, Grand Palace Master."
After lightly flicking her sleeve, Yaoyue opened her hand and asked, "Where are the things?"
In response to Yaoyue's question, the leading disciple of Yihua Palace nervously replied, "Reporting to the Grand Palace Master, just now, this disciple went to the lantern shop as ordered by the Grand Palace Master to buy the manuscript, but when we arrived, the manuscript had already been stolen."
"It was stolen? Who stole it?"
Upon hearing what the Yihua Palace disciple said, Yaoyue frowned and subconsciously spoke up.
But as soon as she spoke, Yaoyue immediately thought of Dongfang Bubai, who had just left the courtyard.
He suddenly understood.
A few breaths later, Yaoyue quickly turned her gaze to Dongfang Bubai, who had returned from afar, and her face darkened.
"That little thief actually intercepted it in secret."
After waving for the servants of the Yihua Palace to leave, Yaoyue lightly touched the ground with her toes and quickly leaped into the air, instantly blocking Dongfang Bubai's path.
Stopped by Yaoyue, Dongfang Bubai, who landed on a rooftop from the sky, frowned and asked, "Did that bowl of glutinous rice balls make you feel full?"
In response to Dongfang Bubai's words, Yaoyue coldly snorted, "Enough nonsense, give me the poem."
Upon hearing the voice, Dongfang Bubai frowned and asked, "On what grounds?"
Yaoyue snorted coldly, "Just because Qinghe's poem was about me."
Dongfang Bubai frowned and said, "Nonsense, what does that poem have to do with you?"
Yaoyue said coldly, "If it's not about me, then is it about you? Does the entire poem mention you at all?"
Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai's gaze swept over Yaoyue from head to toe, and then he revealed a disdainful smile.
"I have seen shamelessness, but I have never seen shamelessness like you. Qinghe's poem was written according to my name, but you forcibly attributed it to yourself. The dignified Grand Palace Master of Yihua Palace, do you have delusions?"
After taking a deep breath, Yaoyue said, "Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and I don't want to waste any more words with you. But if someone really doesn't know what's good for them, I don't mind taking action to sober them up."
Dongfang Bubai said with a face full of disdain, "You?"
Yaoyue slightly raised her face and said, "Want to give it a try?"
Dongfang Bubai: "Afraid of you?"
However, just as the true energy within the two women was slowly circulating, and a sense of tension was already building, a figure suddenly flashed to the side of the two women.
Who else could it be but the Jellyfish Princess Yin?
After glancing at Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, Shuimu Yinji said, "Since both of you sisters like Qinghe's poem so much and want to keep it for yourselves, in order to prevent the poem from being damaged in the battle between you two sisters, why don't we give the poem to your younger sister first?"
"Then I, your younger sister, will act as a witness, and the two older sisters will decide, based on their abilities, who owns Qinghe's manuscript, how about that?"
"Notary?"
Hearing what Jellyfish Yin Ji said, Dongfang Bubai glanced at Jellyfish Yin Ji and then sneered, "Your scheme is so well-thought-out that even the people of my Sun Moon Divine Sect can hear it."
Dongfang Bubai isn't stupid. If he really did that, even if he gained the upper hand in the battle with Yaoyue later, it's still uncertain whether Shuimu Yinji would hand over the poem as promised.
And even if you invite Yue afterward, she might not necessarily help.
How could Dongfang Bubai possibly agree to the suggestion of Shuimu Yinji?
As he spoke, Dongfang Bubai looked at Yaoyue and said, "You secretly obtained the manuscript of that poem at last year's Lantern Festival, and I have obtained this poem today. It's just right that we each have one, so no one loses out. If there are similar poems next time, I'll let you go first."
Upon hearing Dongfang Bubai's words, Yaoyue opened her mouth, but when she caught sight of Shuimu Yinji out of the corner of her eye, she swallowed the words back down her throat.
After a few moments of contemplation, Yaoyue said, "Alright, I'll trust you for a while."
Upon hearing the voice, Dongfang Bubai nodded in acknowledgment, then flicked his sleeves and darted towards his home.
Upon seeing this, Yaoyue also gave Shuimu Yinji a cold glance, and then set off to move towards her home.
Jellyfish Yin Ji was left alone on the rooftop, looking distressed.
"Sure enough, the premature exposure has made both Sister Dongfang and Sister Yue extremely cautious when facing me."
"Then things are probably going to get complicated."
Realizing her current situation, Jellyfish Yin Ji sighed inwardly, feeling that the road ahead would be arduous.
...
As evening fell and the wine jars on the ground gradually emptied, Xue Qianxun and Qu Feiyan, along with several other women, were already drowsy with drunkenness.
Xiao Zhao, who had the lowest alcohol tolerance, was leaning against Lin Shiyin, her face flushed.
Qu Feiyan and Xue Qianxun touched forehead to forehead, cleverly creating a support point so that the two women did not fall directly to the ground.
