While Chu Qinghe was sensing the changes in his body with his internal energy, it was unclear whether it was because of the fluctuations in Chu Qinghe's internal energy or for some other reason.
At this moment, Dongfang Bubai in the courtyard slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes, Dongfang Bubai felt a chill and then sat up abruptly.
Only when his gaze focused and he clearly saw Qu Feiyan still lying on the side did Dongfang Bubai belatedly relax.
The world of martial arts may be wonderful, but if you're actually in it, you'll inevitably develop certain habits.
For example, if you sleep too soundly, you might never be able to open your eyes again one day.
Even someone like Dongfang Bubai never dared to sleep too soundly.
Therefore, Dongfang Bubai was somewhat surprised that he was able to sleep so soundly today.
After calming down for a while, Dongfang Bubai turned his gaze away from Qu Feiyan and instead gently scanned the courtyard.
Upon seeing Chu Qinghe sitting at the stone table, Dongfang Bubai also got up and walked towards Chu Qinghe.
After Dongfang Bubai sat down, Chu Qinghe said, "I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb you."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bubai nodded slightly. "It's alright!"
After saying that, Dongfang Bubai raised his right hand slightly, and as his five fingers curled into a claw, his true energy burst forth, and the teacup belonging to Dongfang Bubai on the small table several meters away was sucked into Dongfang Bubai's hand.
After taking a few sips of the equally cold tea, Dongfang Bubai said with a slightly wistful tone, "It's been a long time since I've felt this relaxed."
Everything comes at a price.
He was able to reach the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm and become the leader of the Sun Moon Cult at the age of twenty-something.
It requires too much effort and energy.
For Dongfang Bubai, these years have been spent either cultivating tirelessly or secretly planning for the future.
The feeling of basking in the sun lazily and leisurely like this afternoon is so distant that even Dongfang Bubai can't recall it anymore.
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said in a gentle voice, "It's good to relax once in a while."
Dongfang Bubai said slowly, "That's true, but it's not a good thing for people to get used to relaxing."
Listening to Dongfang Bubai's words, Chu Qinghe slowly said while playing with the teacup in his hand: "Sometimes, the more you have in your heart, the more you need to be in a balance. If a thread is stretched too tight, it will eventually break."
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Dongfang Bubai's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not respond.
Chu Qinghe was not annoyed by this, and looked up at the petals fluttering in the air.
Gradually let your mind go blank and enter a special state.
In terms of high emotional intelligence, it's like "being lost in thought"; in terms of low emotional intelligence, it's like being in a daze.
Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai remained silent and sat quietly with Chu Qinghe in the courtyard, enjoying the flowers.
In his heart, however, there was a serene tranquility that was not found in the Sun Moon Cult.
If members of the Sun Moon Cult were here at this moment, they would be shocked to see the once infamous Dongfang Bubai so calmly drinking tea and admiring flowers with a man.
They'd probably be so shocked their eyes would pop out.
After a short while, Dongfang Bubai put down his teacup and suddenly looked to his side. When his gaze fell on Chu Qinghe's handsome face, a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.
Although they had only spent half a day together, the feeling that Chu Qinghe gave Dongfang Bubai was particularly special and complex.
When not speaking, they give off a gentle and elegant feeling.
When he opened his mouth, there was a sense of laziness emanating from within, as if even speaking was a struggle.
Yet, his words also carried a hint of detached detachment, as if he had seen through the illusions of the world.
But when you get along with them, you feel comfortable.
Moreover, the incense that he had taken out earlier, which could calm the mind and improve a martial artist's aptitude, made Chu Qinghe seem shrouded in a veil, adding to his mystique.
All these feelings made Dongfang Bubai want to lift the veil around Chu Qinghe's body and learn more about this man.
In Chu Qinghe's words, Dongfang Bubai's mindset at this moment was, "Man, you have successfully piqued my interest."
A moment later, as if he had thought of something, Dongfang Bubai's lips curled up slightly before he looked away. He then picked up the teacup again, blew on it gently, and a little steam rose up.
The weather in December had finally turned cold.
If there is sunshine, it's fine, but if not, the chill in this well-ventilated courtyard increases dramatically.
Looking at Qu Feiyan, who was still fast asleep, Chu Qinghe gently shook his head.
Then he lightly tapped his finger in the teacup.
As a drop of water clung to Chu Qinghe's fingertip, his inner energy circulated, and with a light flick of his finger, he released the water.
In an instant, the drop of water shot out and landed on Qu Feiyan's face on the recliner.
However, the moment the water droplets landed on Qu Feiyan's face, the energy and internal force that had been concentrated in the water droplets were completely exhausted.
As water droplets slid slowly down Qu Feiyan's delicate face, leaving her skin unharmed, Dongfang Bubai narrowed his eyes slightly.
As the saying goes, laymen watch the spectacle, while experts see the details.
With Dongfang Bubai's martial arts skills, he could naturally see that Chu Qinghe's control over internal energy in that move was incredibly precise.
In terms of control alone, even Dongfang Bubai wouldn't dare say he's stronger than Chu Qinghe.
Moreover, martial artists cannot leave their bodies with internal energy before entering the Innate Realm.
Unless, the cultivation method is special.
The quality of its techniques is definitely not low.
"interesting!"
Dongfang Bubai chuckled inwardly at this, his interest in Chu Qinghe growing even stronger.
On the other side, stimulated by Chu Qinghe's drop of water, the little girl's eyelashes trembled slightly before she opened her eyes.
After he sat up, his eyes still heavy with sleep, Chu Qinghe said lazily, "The sun's gone. If I keep sleeping, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight."
Upon hearing this, the little girl yawned before slowly getting up.
However, he still felt somewhat sleepy and drowsy, and his mind was clearly not fully awake yet.
However, when Qu Feiyan got up and took a few steps toward Chu Qinghe, and her gaze fell on Dongfang Bubai next to Chu Qinghe, she seemed to remember something, and the little girl's body suddenly trembled, and her whole body immediately perked up.
The next second, Qu Feiyan, who had been standing still, coughed lightly and said, "Oh dear, it's almost dark. I'll go cook."
After saying that, he dashed into the kitchen.
"Um?"
Seeing the little girl's reaction, Chu Qinghe raised an eyebrow.
Recalling Qu Feiyan's previous reaction, Chu Qinghe suddenly turned his head to look at Dongfang Bubai, who remained calm and focused on his own thoughts.
After a moment of thought, Chu Qinghe's eyelids twitched as if he had realized something.
"These two people actually know each other?"
