He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

Do you hate Yin Tiancang?

Qu Yi was picking through the medicines when she suddenly asked this question.

"I don't know," Lu Baiyu shook his head.

"How to say?"

"He hardly ever comes to see me. He probably only thinks of me because he thinks that old woman in the Hundred Flowers Palace likes pretty people. But I should thank him. Although I had a miserable time in the Hundred Flowers Palace, it was because of that that I was able to be brought back to the valley by my master and meet my senior sister."

Qu Yi put down what she was holding and looked up at him.

Lu Baiyu felt that her gaze was like an invisible hand.

My throat suddenly felt a little dry.

She said, "She is indeed very beautiful, without a doubt."

He remained silent for a long time, then lowered his head to continue picking and choosing. Suddenly, a large shadow fell beside her. She looked up, but before her gaze could settle, the shadow loomed over her.

A cool sensation touched her cheek.

This was the first time the two had been so close together, apart from hugging.

Lu Baiyu suppressed the urge to kiss her passionately, straightened up slightly, pinched her chin with his fingers, and wiped the spot where he had just kissed her.

"Does my senior sister like my face?"

"No one should dislike it."

She said it so calmly, without any panic or helplessness at being kissed, which made Lu Baiyu narrow his eyes.

"Senior sister, don't you want to punch me?"

"Why?"

"I just bullied my senior sister, didn't I?"

How do you know I don't want to do it?

Lu Baiyu's pupils contracted, then his face lit up with surprise.

My senior sister liked him before!

Is that so?

Lu Baiyu kept nagging in Qu Yi's ear, insisting that Qu Yi admit it before he would leave.

Finally, Qu Yi nodded helplessly. He cupped Qu Yi's cheeks, kissed her deeply again, and left happily.

Yin Tiancang kept his eyes on Qu Yi. If she wasn't genuinely trying to prepare the antidote for his son and was just going through the motions, he would risk going up against Feng Yunnan to kill her.

However, this is not possible.

Because he gradually discovered that Qu Yi was particularly attentive, spending all his time, except for eating and sleeping, preparing the antidote.

Recalling what his son had told him before about Qu Yi's feelings for him, he had never really believed it, but now...

I'm starting to believe it.

Qu Yi had no idea that she had caused such a big misunderstanding. She was so engrossed in making the antidote that she couldn't extricate herself.

That evening, Lu Boyu brought a message.

During this period, she paid too little attention to outside affairs, so she was completely unaware of many things.

"I heard that the former head of the Star Gazing Pavilion has taken on a closed-door disciple."

"Hmm?" Qu Yi paused, looking up at him.

"My senior sister only paid attention to me after hearing this..." Lu Baiyu said with a resentful expression.

"........."

Lu Baiyu continued, "The events of a few days ago have spread far and wide, and there are many rumors circulating in the martial arts world. Some say she is the illegitimate daughter of the old sect leader, some say she has exceptional talent, and some even say that she may not be the last disciple to be closed off, which is quite ironic for the term 'closed-off disciple' used by these sects."

As for why these people say this, it's because Jiang Yufu was the old master's last disciple.

Qu Yi asked, "Does Jiang Yufu know about this?"

Lu Baiyu paused, then replied, "You know, right? If your own master didn't know she was taking on a disciple, she'd probably cause a scene. But she probably doesn't like the new junior sister very much."

Qu Yi glanced at him indifferently: "You seem to know quite a bit."

Lu Baiyu quickly explained, "I just guessed. I was thinking that no one would like someone who steals their thunder."

Without even looking up, she casually said, "So you know I hate you too."

Completely stunned, Lu Baiyu finally managed to speak after a long while: "Senior sister, do you hate me?"

Qu Yi: "Isn't it obvious? I've always been the only one accompanying Master in Bright Moon Valley. You came later."

"So, what now?"

Lu Baiyu felt uneasy and regretful.

If he had known this topic would be brought up, he wouldn't have said those things.

"That's it."

Hearing her words, Lu Baiyu felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
