After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

After the police took Qiu Wude, who was unconscious in the woods, away, the tourists were not significantly affected and continued eating and drinking as usual.

For Old Madam Qin, who had seen it all, these were nothing at all, and she praised the delicious vegetarian dishes highly.

The Qin Family Manor also has chefs who specialize in vegetarian cuisine, and their skills are quite good, but compared to Qingfeng Temple, the taste is still somewhat lacking.

Professionals are professionals after all; the only ones who can make truly authentic vegetarian dishes are those monks.

Unlike cooks, they must strictly abide by the rules and regulations, never daring to touch meat in their entire lives, unlike cooks who prepare vegetarian meals for others but enjoy delicacies themselves and never lack oil or fat.

Therefore, they could only focus on making vegetarian dishes more palatable.

"Hey, Mr. Ye, don't you think you should explain yourself to me?"

Old Madam Qin hated being served at mealtimes, and Qin Wanqing didn't need anyone to serve her food or soup. So she found an opportunity to interrogate Ye Bai.

She didn't suspect that the pretty policewoman really had any unusual relationship with Ye Bai, but she could sense that Ye Bai seemed to be involved in a complicated case.

As a wife, even if only in name, Qin Wanqing felt she should ask.

Especially now that Ye Bai is the son-in-law of the Qin family, it's already a widely accepted fact. Everyone subconsciously assumes that everything he does is related to the Qin family.

To put it bluntly, if Ye Bai really gets involved in something and gets into big trouble, Qin Wanqing will have to clean up his mess.

Before that, she naturally had to figure out what was going on.

"What's there to explain? Don't tell me you're really jealous. Comrade Qin Wanqing, I have to remind you, don't get too caught up in the drama."

Ye Bai ate until his cheeks were bulging, and said indistinctly.

He has always been serious about food, even to the point of being devout.

So no matter what he eats, even if it doesn't taste good, he can still make himself enjoy it and not waste a single bit of food.

The vegetarian food at Qingfeng Temple was especially delicious, and he ate with great relish, consuming almost as much as a whole table of people.

"I'm getting into character, my foot!"

Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes in exasperation, realizing that she was just being overly concerned and decided to let the guy fend for himself.

A scumbag who loves to court death, she'll just have to give in.

"Young master, you've offended Miss again."

Sitting next to Ye Bai, Shen Lu also ate like a little squirrel, looking exactly like her son-in-law.

"It's okay, she's eating less because she's angry, so we can eat more."

Ye Bai said casually.

"Son-in-law, what you said makes a lot of sense. So why aren't you angry?"

Shen Lu voiced her doubts.

Of all the people at the table, her son-in-law was the biggest eater and could be considered her greatest "enemy."

"Getting angry is just a waste of time. I'm not full, so why should I get angry?"

While stuffing all sorts of food into his mouth, Ye Bai didn't forget to answer the little girl's questions.

“What you said makes even more sense, son-in-law.”

Shen Lu agreed wholeheartedly, and thus ate with equal gusto.

"...You two are so full you could die!"

Qin Wanqing, who had overheard the entire conversation, was so angry that she almost dumped her rice bowl on the heads of the two gluttons.

"Sister Qin, you and Teacher Ye have such a good relationship..."

Sitting next to Qin Wanqing, Jiang Nuai, who had barely touched her chopsticks and hadn't uttered a word, couldn't help but whisper a sigh of envy.

"What a load of rubbish! If I had a choice, I would have dumped this scumbag long ago!"

Qin Wanqing inwardly scoffed, but smiled and said, "Little sister Ai, don't you have a boyfriend yet? I'll introduce you to one another day. I guarantee he'll be the most outstanding young talent in Jingzhou, a hundred times better than this guy surnamed Ye."

"Thank you for your kindness, Sister Qin, but... I don't want to be in a relationship yet..."

Jiang Nuai blushed slightly, glanced at Ye Bai secretly, and then quickly shook her head.

...I think you're not unwilling, you've probably set your sights on this scoundrel of mine, haven't you?

Qin Wanqing snorted inwardly, unable to understand what charm this man surnamed Ye possessed that made women want to flirt with him.

Is it because he is a married man, the son-in-law of the Qin family, or something else?

After finishing their vegetarian meal, it was almost dark. Ye Bai and the others dared not linger any longer and carried Old Madam Qin down the mountain.

If it were just the old lady and Feng Gu, they could stay overnight in that guest room. But with so many of them, there simply isn't enough room.

Due to the limited area on the mountain, the guest rooms at Qingfeng Temple are not very large.

Qin Wanqing didn't want to make things difficult for the abbot of Qingfeng Temple by relying on her family's status, so she simply chose to go down the mountain and stay at the resort that night, so she could experience the facilities and services up close.

We traveled in silence until we arrived at the resort, when it was almost eight o'clock and the sky was completely dark.

Seeing this, Qin Wanqing simply told Jiang Nuai not to go back either, but to stay here for the night and return to Jingzhou City together the next day.

Ye Bai originally thought that Jiang Nuai would definitely not agree, given her socially awkward personality, but to his surprise, the teaching assistant agreed after considering it for a few seconds.

This made Ye Bai even more confused about this woman's thought process. The two of them had only known each other for a few hours and could hardly be said to understand each other, yet they could get along like sisters who had been together for many years, which was truly amazing.

Queen Qin has always been a woman who doesn't lack money, and this resort is now her property, so she simply booked the best room for herself.

Only Old Madam Qin and Feng Gu shared a room, since the old lady was getting on in years and needed someone to take care of her at night.

After arriving at her room, taking a shower, and resting for a while, Shen Lu came to knock on the door and said that there was a bonfire party at the resort that night, which was supposed to be a lot of fun. She asked Ye Bai to come and ask if he was interested in going to join the fun.

Ye Bai naturally refused without hesitation. He preferred quiet and peaceful times, and this so-called liveliness did not interest him at all.

So Shen Lu pouted and left to watch the party with Qin Wanqing.

Qin Wanqing had originally asked Shen Lu to call Jiang Nuai, but the latter also declined, citing physical exhaustion.

Since they weren't very familiar with each other yet, Qin Wanqing naturally couldn't force the other party and could only give up.

Just as Ye Bai was about to rest after practicing his martial arts for a while, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Jiang Nuai.

The purpose was also to ask him out.

Just as Ye Bai was about to refuse, Jiang Nuai's words made him change his mind instantly.

“Teacher Ye, I…I might have more clues about those black-robed Taoist priests…”
