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

As night fades and the morning mist rises, fine dewdrops adorn the flowers and leaves. Once a drop is full, it slowly slides down the leaf, lingering for a moment at the tip before finally being carried away by a gust of wind stirred up by a white garment.

"I want to see your master."

Qu Yi stood in front of several guards and said this.

"Our master ordered us to escort Miss Qu back to Bright Moon Valley."

"I need to see him. I won't leave until I do."

Several people looked at each other.

One of them went to ask for instructions, while the others stayed behind to keep Qu Yi company.

A short while later, the man returned, bringing with him a reply from their master.

He agreed to see Qu Yi one more time, but he had to leave after that.

Qu Yi gave a faint "hmm" but didn't take it to heart.

She had a gut feeling that her guess was probably right.

The pavilion in the middle of the pond is antique and elegant, with a deep maroon spire and ancient dark green pillars. Only when you get closer can you see some beautiful patterns carved on the pillars.

Accompanied by the sound of fish leaping and splashing on the water's surface, and the gentle breeze blowing by.

Good place.

Qu Yi is a quiet person, and this place suits her perfectly.

There were no gray tables and chairs in the pavilion, but a soft cushion. The masked man looked up at her, then sat cross-legged without moving.

What brings you to see me?

"Just taking a look."

She cast a questioning glance at Qu Yi, noticing that he showed no signs of poisoning.

The guess was correct.

Ha, Lu Baiyu, you have quite a few secrets.

She didn't want to talk about anything else with him, so she walked over and sat down next to him. Their arms were touching, and she could clearly feel his body stiffen for a moment.

Looking in the direction he was looking, there was nothing special about it, just a large rock.

The woman's voice remained cold and indifferent: "Tell me, would I betray you? If you keep acting so timidly, I really won't want you anymore."

His body stiffened further, and as he remained silent, the person beside him stood up and left.

Qu Yi's wrist was grabbed. She looked down and saw that the pale, bony hand was holding her tightly, not letting her go.

"When did you know?"

His voice was no longer hoarse, and it regained its familiar timbre.

"Is it difficult? I like all the dishes you prepared, and you're not afraid of my poison."

"Poison?!" Lu Baiyu's eyes widened. "Senior Sister poisoned you?"

"Hmm, who else but you would have had no reaction to the poison from Bright Moon Valley in the tea you drank last night?"

How could you so casually mention poisoning me?!

Lu Baiyu opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound for a long time.

long silence.

He asked dryly, "But even so, apart from the poisoning, there shouldn't have been any slip-ups before. Could the dishes you mentioned be from someone who secretly admires you?"

Qu Yi raised an eyebrow: "I have lived in Bright Moon Valley for a long time and do not see outsiders. Where would I get an admirer? Alright, take off your mask before you talk to me."

Lu Baiyu obediently removed his silver mask, his pale lips slightly pursed, and his thick eyelashes drooping.

"Senior Sister," he called out obediently, his eyes slightly lowered.

Qu Yi cupped his cheeks and lifted his head, forcing him to look up at her.

Qu Yi stared at his face for a long time.

"nice."

"Senior Sister?" Lu Baiyu blinked, looking rather helpless.

"It really is beautiful, as I said, there's no way to argue with that."

"Senior Sister!" Lu Baiyu's eyes widened, his ears turned red, and he looked somewhat uncomfortable.

"Black looks quite good on me, better than white."

"Isn't Senior Sister angry?"

"What are you angry about?"

“I… was afraid you would be angry. I originally wanted to tell you, but you suddenly wanted to send me back to Bright Moon Valley, and then went straight to Heavenly Gate, so I never had a chance to tell you everything…”
