Chapter Fifty-Four: Family Status (Minus One)



About fifteen minutes later, Yaoyue, the dignified Grand Mistress of Yihua Palace, successfully washed the first bowl.

After washing the bowl, Yaoyue even used her inner energy to dry the water stains on it before placing it separately on the table.

Then, Yaoyue glanced sideways at Dongfang Bubai and said, "It's nothing special, what's so difficult about it?"

As she spoke, Yaoyue flicked her sleeves, and with a burst of energy, several broken bowls and plates in the corner of the ground beside her instantly turned into dust.

Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai raised an eyebrow.

Judging from Yaoyue's move alone, Dongfang Bubai could tell that Yaoyue was extremely skilled at destroying evidence.

After glancing once more at the dishes she had washed, Yaoyue finally walked outside with her hands behind her back, completely satisfied.

With an elegant posture and steady steps.

It's incredibly hard to believe that this aloof, ethereal woman is the same person who just moments ago rolled up her sleeves and clumsily washed several dishes, breaking them all.

Watching Yaoyue's retreating figure, Qu Feiyan pondered for a few moments before turning her gaze to Dongfang Bubai.

"Does she think that if she destroys these dishes, no one will know that she broke those dishes earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bubai paused for a moment before nodding and saying, "That should be it!"

Qu Feiyan couldn't help but grin at this.

Suddenly, I felt that the aura of the Grand Palace Master of Yihua Palace was not as dazzling as I had thought.

At this moment, as if he had thought of something, Dongfang Bubai, who was still in the kitchen, suddenly frowned and muttered, "That's not right."

The moment the voice left his mouth, Dongfang Bubai's body also instantly darted out of the kitchen.

Noticing Dongfang Bubai's actions, Qu Feiyan followed with a puzzled expression.

The next moment, as the two women walked out of the kitchen, they immediately saw Chu Qinghe, who was already carrying an incense burner and a wine pot, walking into the courtyard.

When Qu Feiyan's gaze fell on the incense burner in Chu Qinghe's hand, and saw the purple jade datura incense already inserted inside, she immediately understood why Dongfang Bubai's expression had changed slightly.

Qu Feiyan was somewhat speechless and said, "Young Master, do you really not understand the value of these things? This is only their first visit, and you're already bringing out this Purple Jade Datura Incense?"

In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Dongfang Bubai sighed and said, "It's not that he doesn't know, but that he doesn't care."

After listening to Dongfang Bubai's response, Qu Feiyan thought about it and estimated that Dongfang Bubai's reason was more appropriate.

After all, even when the two of them first came to his door, Chu Qinghe didn't hesitate to take out the Purple Jade Datura Incense.

Of course, although there is now an additional Yaoyue in the family, it makes no difference to Chu Qinghe.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly as he watched Chu Qinghe moving tables and chairs in the courtyard.

Now, Dongfang Bubai is certain that Yaoyue is completely after Chu Qinghe.

Logically speaking, as long as Yaoyue loses interest in Chu Qinghe, she will naturally leave without Dongfang Bubai having to chase her away.

But here's the problem.

Will Yaoyue lose interest in Chu Qinghe?

Dongfang Bubai felt that it might be a tiny bit difficult.

From Dongfang Bubai's most direct experience, Chu Qinghe was like a bottle of old wine with a slow-acting poison; the more you spent time with him, the more peculiar the feeling became.

It makes people unconsciously immerse themselves in it.

Moreover, once they've tasted the sweetness, it's extremely difficult for them to give it up.

Naturally, the longer Yaoyue spends with Chu Qinghe, the more certain Dongfang Bubai will become of this woman's interest in Chu Qinghe.

Later on, it developed into two women fighting over a man, which was basically a foregone conclusion.

This was clearly not a situation that Dongfang Bubai wanted to see.

Even Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but feel a bit resentful towards Chu Qinghe at this moment.

For the first time, he sensed something about Chu Qinghe that he disliked: he was too easy to attract other women.

In the courtyard, as the purple jade datura incense in the incense burner was lit, Chu Qinghe slowly lay down.

In just a few breaths, Chu Qinghe's energy and spirit visibly waned.

"Um?"

Just as Chu Qinghe was getting into the swing of things, Yaoyue, who was sitting by the stone table in the courtyard, also cast a surprised glance at him.

It wasn't that she was attracted by Chu Qinghe's current state, but rather that Yaoyue noticed the peculiar smoke surrounding Chu Qinghe, which resembled flowing clouds.

Out of curiosity, Yaoyue slowly walked to Chu Qinghe's side.

However, just as Yaoyue approached, she noticed that a wisp of the strangely colored incense stick in the incense burner was drifting towards her and surrounding her.

A moment later, as a fragrance wafted into her nose, Yaoyue instantly sensed something was amiss.

"There's something wrong with this incense."

However, before Yaoyue could think it through, Dongfang Bubai and Qu Feiyan had already brushed past her.

After glancing at Yaoyue, Dongfang Bubai lay down on the chair next to Chu Qinghe, raised his legs slightly, and closed his eyes.

A few breaths later, to Yaoyue's surprise, the expressions on Dongfang Bubai and Qu Feiyan's faces quickly became the same as Chu Qinghe's.

They also became lazy.

Seeing this, Yaoyue slightly raised her face.

While pondering, Yaoyue slowly took a few steps and then arrived in front of Qu Feiyan.

As she approached, Qu Feiyan, who had just begun to experience her day's photosynthesis, suddenly felt the light dim.
