"It's easier to talk while standing."
Junior sister Qin Ge quickly pulled Han Danran aside, gently squeezed her hand, and said to Bai Qiuyue with an apologetic smile, "Senior sister speaks her mind, Miss Qiuyue, don't take it personally."
"Of course not." Bai Qiuyue glanced at the other person's bulging chest and muttered to herself, this guy doesn't look that good, but he has a nice figure, unlike her...
------------------------------------
Bai Qiuchen was playing chess with a white-haired man in purple clothes in the pavilion. Two hours had passed and the two were still fighting fiercely. Another young man in a blue robe was dozing off beside them, leaning on his sword.
The sword tilted and almost fell to the ground, and the boy couldn't help it.
"Are you guys done yet? When will you catch them?"
"Tap." Bai Qiuchen placed the white chess piece on the chessboard. "I haven't seen you for three years, and you're still as impulsive as before."
Lan Che was unconvinced: "Watching chess in silence, watching chess in silence, you two have been sitting here for a long time, and I almost broke the leg of the stool sitting there alone. When will you catch me?"
"No rush. Let's get her reputation spread tonight. Within three days, with the temperament of the flower thief, he will definitely come."
Lan Che didn't ask who was the bait. He was surprised and said, "Why not catch them now?"
Bai Qiuchen shook his head: "There are so many righteous people here, the flower thief is most likely not nearby. The bait has been set, and we will just wait for him to fall into the trap."
The man in purple put down the black chess piece, and Bai Qiuchen had no choice but to put down the white chess piece.
"What an unexpected move! I can't beat you in chess."
Zi Yu wore a silver mask on the upper half of his face, and his light-colored, thin lips were slightly curved. He looked noble and elegant, and his temperament could best be described as clear breeze and bright moon. However, what he said was particularly irritating.
"If I can't beat you, I, the heir of Guigu, have no use for myself." The disdainful tone made Bai Qiuchen so angry that his teeth itched, but he was helpless.
Those who come out of Guigu are famous for their versatility and indifference to fame and fortune. They have dabbled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, disguise, witchcraft and traps. They are especially good at light work and can walk on snow without leaving any trace, making them the best in the world.
Lan Che couldn't help but laugh: "You keep fighting after repeated failures, and you really don't give up."
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
Bai Qiuchen looked at the sky and said, "It's almost time. Let's go and split up according to the agreed method."
Zi Yu and Lan Che nodded, and Zi Yu's figure moved so fast that only a shadow remained. Lan Che was not willing to be outdone and followed closely behind.
Bai Qiuchen stood there for a moment, then walked towards the Snow Courtyard and said to the person guarding the door, "Go and ask Madam to come out."
Zhao Qingxue was helped out by Biluo.
Her skin is as smooth as cream, her face is as white as jade, and her lips are as bright as roses.
She let her hair down, which she used to wear tied up, down to dress like an unmarried woman. Her long black hair danced in the night breeze. She did not wear a light-colored dress, but a bright and attractive red one.
The neckline is slightly low, revealing a large area of fair skin. The waist is tied with a belt made of soft gold silk gauze, which is raised where it should be raised and gathered where it should be gathered, showing off the exquisite figure to the fullest.
There was mist in her eyes, like the sad and lingering drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River, and because she was so beautiful, she also revealed a bit of charm. Bai Qiuchen was shocked at the first sight, and his heart beat a little faster.
He didn't think much about it, he was just excited, thinking that catching the flower thief was a sure thing.
"Let's go." Bai Qiuchen took a few steps and saw that no one was following him, so he looked back in confusion.
Zhao Qingxue didn't move, just raised her hand slightly.
Bai Qiuchen stood there looking at her for a long time. Biluo didn't dare to breathe. Just when she thought the leader would force his lady to go over, he took action.
The warm touch on their fingertips made both of them tremble.
Zhao Qingxue's delicate hand retracted and was grasped by Bai Qiuchen again. Unlike her soft and delicate hands, Bai Qiuchen had a layer of calluses on his hands due to years of martial arts training. They were a little rough but still powerful. She smiled slightly.
Bai Qiuchen asked her, "Are you happy?"
Zhao Qingxue nodded honestly. She looked up at his direction, the mist in her eyes dissipating and shining brightly. She said, "I will do my best to complete the task."
Bai Qiuchen felt a little uncomfortable.
She had been resisting from the beginning, but because of a little kindness he showed her, she softened her attitude and was willing to cooperate with him?
He reflected on whether he was too cold towards her.
Yes, she left her hometown, had no parents, and had no good friends. She lived in a corner all year round, and the closest person around her was herself. It was normal for a woman to be weak and yearn for her husband's love.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiuchen felt a little uncomfortable.
Three years ago, he had just become the leader of the martial arts world. Various forces in the world wanted to marry their daughters to him, but he had someone he loved and was tired of dealing with it.
Although he called her Madam, he never considered himself her husband. It was more of a shelter, allowing her to stay there with a legitimate reason and avoid being hunted down by the Five Poison Sect.
It just so happened that he also needed a shield.
But she obviously didn't think so.
Bai Qiuchen thought that his attitude over the past three years had been very clear, but now it seemed that was not the case. He would explain it to her clearly after this matter was over.
He has a sweetheart, and even though she's missing, he has never given up looking for her.
