In the small courtyard, Ye Qiu, having already washed up, sat in the pavilion within the flowerbed, eating the breakfast brought by the waiter.
Xiao Lan wandered among the flowers, picking blossoms and making herself a flower crown.
Wearing the crown on her head, she happily twirled around, her long blue and gold-embroidered dress fluttering in the wind.
Truly, she was a beautiful woman, her smile enchanting and her eyes sparkling.
"Brother, isn't Xiao Lan pretty? Haha~"
Watching Xiao Lan dance like a butterfly, hearing her question, Ye Qiu seemed to recall some fragmented images, but he couldn't remember them.
He opened his mouth to answer when
a figure in green rushed into the courtyard.
"Xiao Lan! Come on, I'll take you to... Ah! You're awake!?"
"Sister Rongrong~"
Ning Rongrong looked at Ye Qiu sitting in the pavilion, her words cut short by a startled cry.
Her face flushed red, she panicked, wanting to escape.
"Hehe~ Thanks to you, I've had enough sleep after a day and two nights!" Ye Qiu looked at her and sneered.
*Bang!* Ye Qiu slammed his hand on the table and stood up, glaring at her.
"Why did you lie to me!"
"What...what lie? I clearly took the wrong one! Is that not allowed?" Ning Rongrong suppressed her embarrassment, her neck stiff, hands on her hips, refusing to back down.
"Took the wrong one? Then what do you say when you forced me to drink it!"
Seeing Ye Qiu still daring to point at her and accuse her, she was also annoyed. It was clearly her fault, why should Ning Rongrong put up with this?
She stopped pretending and laid her cards on the table!
"What's there to say! What's there to say! I'm the one who lost out, you bastard! Scumbag!"
She stepped forward, slapped Ye Qiu's hand away, and started cursing him directly!
"Tch~ Hehe!" Ye Qiu was so angry he laughed. What had he done to her?
"Brother~ Sister Rongrong~"
"None of your business!" ×2
The two voices were surprisingly in sync.
"Oh~" Xiao Lan responded with a wronged tone, then ran away again, her eyes filled with innocence.
Ignoring Xiao Lan any longer, Ye Qiu was determined to see how she would argue!
"Miss Rongrong! You say you've lost out? And I'm a scumbag? What makes you think that?!"
"You don't know?" Ning Rongrong looked at him in surprise.
"Should I know?" Ye Qiu looked at her doubtfully, then nodded, "I should know!"
"How could you not know!" Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief, but was also angry—no, not just somewhat, but extremely angry!
"How could I know?" Ye Qiu was completely baffled by what she was saying.
'How could this bastard not know! Is my first kiss going to be lost forever?'
Ning Rongrong glared at Ye Qiu, growing angrier with each passing thought!
"Just let me know already!" Ye Qiu urged.
*Smack!* "Enough!" Ning Rongrong slammed her hand on the table.
"You son of a bitch! I was in a bad mood, so what if I lied to you about drinking with me! It's your honor to drink with me! What's wrong with lying to you? What's wrong with that! You
think you're losing out?!" Ye Qiu was about to speak when she cut him off.
She walked up to Ye Qiu, poked his chest, and kept yelling, forcing Ye Qiu to back away.
"You bastard! You slept for so long after just one drink, while Xiao Lan drank a whole bottle and was perfectly fine, and you still have the nerve to say that!"
"You're a grown man, and you can even black out, you piece of trash! You scum! Tell me, aren't you a scumbag! Bastard!"
"Scumbag! Bastard!" Ning Rongrong yelled the last two words again, her pretty face flushed red with anger, and her voice became shrill.
Xiao Lan covered her ears a little further away, 'Sister Rongrong is so scary!'
Ye Qiu froze on the spot, stunned by Ning Rongrong's strong reaction, his ears ringing.
"Hmph! This is infuriating! Little Blue! Let's go, I'll take you shopping and eating delicious food in Tiandou City today!"
Ignoring Ye Qiu, Ye Qiu called to Little Blue and headed outside.
"Coming, coming!" Little Blue ran out from the flower bushes. Of all the things in the world, food is the most important!
"Did I offend her?" Ye Qiu looked at Little Blue, sinking into deep self-doubt.
"Little Blue doesn't know either! Brother~ I'm going to play now, here's a flower wreath for you! Hehe~"
Little Blue jumped up and put the flower wreath on Ye Qiu's head before running outside.
"Sister Rongrong! Wait for Little Blue!"
Ye Qiu only snapped out of his daze when she reached the courtyard gate.
"Little Blue! No more drinking!"
"Okay~ Brother!"
"Ignore that bastard!" Ning Rongrong's voice came from outside.
"..." Ye Qiu silently sat down, carefully recalling what he had done to offend her. Shouldn't he be the victim?

Sitting quietly in the pavilion, Ye Qiu recalled the memories of the night before last, piecing together the fragments
. 'She took a big gulp of wine, and then... I saw Xiao Wu? No, no, it seems like Zhu Qing?'
'No! She made me drink two gulps of wine!'
'Oh dear!' Ye Qiu scratched his head. 'Right! I think I said I hated her! Could it be because of this?'
Just as Ye Qiu was carefully piecing together his memories, a waiter entered, interrupting his thoughts.
'Young Master Ye Qiu! The Sect Master requests your presence in the council hall!'
'Hmm? I understand, I'll go right away!'
Temporarily setting aside those distracting thoughts, Ye Qiu straightened his clothes, removed the flower wreath Xiao Lan had put on him, and followed the waiter to the hall.
Ye Qiu guessed that the matter he had asked Ning Fengzhi for help with must have been resolved.
Following the directions, the journey didn't take too long, and Ye Qiu quickly arrived at the hall entrance.
At this moment, there were only two people in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's council hall.
One of them was naturally Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, with Sword Douluo standing behind him.
"Ye Qiu, you've finally arrived!"
Ning Fengzhi called out to Ye Qiu before he even entered.
"Sect Master Ning!" Ye Qiu bowed to him as soon as he entered the hall.
"No need for formalities, please sit down." Ning Fengzhi gestured for him to sit.
"Boy, your cultivation has broken through again!" Sensing Ye Qiu's aura, Sword Douluo's voice suddenly rang out.
"Hehe... just a lucky breakthrough!" "Hmph!
Strength is strength, why be modest!" In his view, strength is strength, no need for pretense. "
Uh, hehe!" Ye Qiu chuckled dryly and obediently sat down to the side.
"Haha... you really are a genius. It seems that introducing you to the Crown Prince is indeed very necessary!"
Hearing that Ye Qiu had broken through again, Ning Fengzhi was only slightly surprised, and then pointed out the purpose of calling him over.
"The Crown Prince?" Just
as Ye Qiu finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside the hall.
Tap tap!
"What a coincidence!" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed.
Ye Qiu's expression was somewhat strange. He hadn't expected Ning Fengzhi to arrange for him to meet Xue Qinghe.
He knew very well that the real Xue Qinghe had long since died in the Northwest, and the current Xue Qinghe was a disguise by Qian Renxue.
Following Ning Fengzhi's gaze, he looked towards the door, also curious about what Qian Renxue's Xue Qinghe looked like that even her own father couldn't recognize her.
Tap tap! As the footsteps approached ,
Ye Qiu suddenly felt something different. His eyes felt hot, and the three tomoe in his eyes flickered.
'What's going on! This feeling... is somewhat familiar!'
Suppressing the fluctuations in his body, he felt a little strange. He had felt this way when he first came to Tiandou City
. Outside, a young man was approaching the hall.
He looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with golden hair.
Although not extremely handsome, he had bright eyes and white teeth, and wore a neat golden robe, giving him a noble and gentle feeling. He also wore a pair of black gloves.
At this moment, his humble expression stiffened, a tremor ran through him, and his soul power began to surge, growing increasingly intense.
'How could this be!? This feeling...it's back! Who is it?'
'Could it be related to the person the teacher introduced?'
Adjusting his breathing, suppressing the fluctuations of his soul power, he slowly walked into the hall.
As if drawn by some inexplicable force!
Upon entering the hall, his gaze was immediately drawn to a handsome young man dressed in a blue outfit.
Ye Qiu, sensing this as well, looked in his direction.
The two unconsciously locked eyes—an unprecedented feeling of wanting to be close washed over them!
*Buzz!
* 'Not good!'
Xue Qinghe exclaimed inwardly, shock flashing in his eyes. He felt his heart suddenly race, his hands clenching into fists.
He desperately tried to control his surging martial soul! He quickly averted his gaze.
Ye Qiu also gripped the armrests of his chair tightly, averting his gaze, his breathing becoming erratic.
'What on earth is going on!?' ×2
