Qian Youxue smiled gently, patted Yunhe's shoulder, and gestured for her to relax: "Don't worry, just keep an eye on Lianxin."
"Yes!" Yunhe met the young lady's gaze and nodded knowingly.
Lianxin's palms were sweating with worry as she anxiously looked at her mistress. Seeing her mistress shake her head, she could only obediently stay outside with Yunhe.
"Please, Miss!" The man gestured for her to proceed but did not take a step forward.
Qian Youxue smiled and nodded, then stepped into the courtyard. Compared to the flowers and plants in the previous courtyards, the flowers and plants here appeared to be less abundant, but their value was clearly much higher.
On the white jade pavilion in the pond, Dongming Huo, dressed in white, was flipping through a yellowed book, completely unaware that someone was approaching.
When Dongming Huo finally realized what was happening and looked up, he saw Qian Youxue already standing in front of him, and reluctantly closed the book in his hand.
Her hair was thick and black, and beneath her sword-like eyebrows were a pair of slender, captivating eyes that could easily draw one in. Her nose was high and straight, her lips full and red, and her smile was mesmerizing.
As expected, birds of a feather flock together; the people around the freak are all better looking than ordinary people. Qian Youxue couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Meeting Qian Youxue's gaze, Dong Minghuo lowered his head with a slight blush, stood up, and bowed, saying, "I am too polite."
Qian Youxue snapped out of her daze, feeling somewhat ashamed of her own infatuation, and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Mr. Buyu, I'm sorry to have disturbed your peace."
"Miss Qian is so kind, it makes me feel ashamed. I should have gone to visit you, but there were too many inconveniences. I could only wait for you to come to my door in person. Please have a seat, Miss!" Dongming Huo invited Qian Youxue to sit down.
Qian Youxue didn't stand on ceremony. Since she was someone's friend, there was no need to be so secretive. She sat down and accepted the tea that wasn't poured for her.
Take a deep breath, and the delicate aroma of tea fills your nose; upon tasting, the tea is slightly sweet, and a cool sensation follows, making your throat feel particularly comfortable.
"Excellent tea! Top-quality!" she couldn't help but exclaim.
"I'm glad you like it, young lady!" Bu Yu was quite pleased with Qian Youxue's approval.
Setting down her teacup, Qian Youxue glanced around. Ice lotuses bloomed in the pond, their fragrance filling the air, mingled with a chilling aroma. Thankfully, Lianxin hadn't entered; otherwise, her body certainly wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
"According to him, Miss Qian not only understands poisons but also knows sorcery. I hope to have the opportunity to learn from her on many matters." Dongming Huo said politely, then handed over the book he had just been reading with both hands.
Qian Youxue took the book and looked at it. The book was already yellowed, perhaps because it had been handled by too many people, and it was very old and worn. She flipped through a few pages. It was a book about incantations, and the content was relatively simple, but it couldn't compare to the stuff from that old Taoist sect.
So she flipped through a few pages, lost interest, closed the book, and put it down.
"Does Miss Qian think there's something wrong with the contents of this book?" Dong Minghuo asked nervously. He had spent a lot of effort finding this book, so why did it seem like it was worthless in her hands?
"No, no, no, it's not that I'm wrong, it's just that I don't understand it at all, hehe..." Qian Youxue waved her hands repeatedly, she had no intention of revealing too much.
Unfortunately, Dongming Huo was incredibly clever, and this one sentence betrayed her.
If you don't understand, how can you know right from wrong!
It seems Ye was right; the young lady of the Qian family is a hidden master. She doesn't even care for books like this; the spells the Dongming clan knows are probably worthless to her!
