Lu Chuan was idly sitting in the corridor, waiting for Han Qingci to finish treating Nangong Duoduo.

The two women had been in the room for over half an hour already.

“This time I got two two-hundred-year medicinal herbs, one can be used for making a breakthrough, and the other can be kept for helping my sister-in-law separate Xiu Niang’s Nascent Soul when the time comes.”

Just as Lu Chuan was silently making his calculations, the door of the nearby room opened.

Han Qingci and Nangong Duoduo both came out looking disheveled, their hair damp, and their cheeks flushed.

Both looked somewhat awkward and dared not look at each other.

Lu Chuan stood up and approached them, smiling as he asked, “How did it go?

Have you recovered your spirit?”

Nangong Duoduo looked down, flustered, and said, “Much…

much better now.”

Lu Chuan nodded and said, “Then that settles our task for today.

As for that Yin Ghost Sect, with the strength of your Nangong family, I’m sure you have nothing to fear, so we won’t meddle in your affairs from here on.”

Nangong Duoduo nodded and said, “Thank you both for your help.

I…

I’ll have someone deliver the two two-hundred-year medicinal herbs to you later.

I probably need to rest for a while, so I won’t see you out.”

Having said that, she hurriedly ran off.

Lu Chuan turned his head toward Han Qingci, pretending to know nothing, and asked, “Qingci, what’s wrong with Miss Nangong?

Why does she seem a bit off?”

Han Qingci’s face showed a hint of guilt as she said, “I don’t know.

Maybe she really does need to rest after the treatment.”

Lu Chuan tried to suppress a laugh at Han Qingci’s appearance, but still put on an act, saying, “Maybe so.”

Before long, a servant from the Nangong family delivered the two-hundred-year medicinal herbs to Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan didn’t stay much longer and left the Nangong family estate with Han Qingci.

In a dark corner, a figure quietly followed them.

Mu Laogui, his face grim with malice, gritted his teeth and said, “Brat, you’ve ruined my big plan; today I must make sure you end up dead in the streets!”

Just as he was about to make his move, he noticed Han Qingci beside Lu Chuan.

He felt the yin energy within himself as it seemed eager to gather towards Han Qingci.

This feeling brought him to a sudden halt.

“Is this…

the Extreme Yin Physique?”

Mu Laogui’s face filled with shock, then excitement surged through him.

“Heaven helps me, truly heaven aids me!”

“If the Ten Thousand Ghosts Array Formation were to use a human as its vessel, it would require an exceedingly yin and soft physique to withstand it.

I searched everywhere and couldn’t find a suitable person, which is why I reluctantly set my sights on Nangong Duoduo.”

“Though she’s not of any special physique, she’s powerful and, being a woman, surely has some yin softness, so she could barely serve as the vessel for the Ten Thousand Ghosts Array Formation.”

“But compared to the Extreme Yin Physique, she is far inferior.

The Ten Thousand Ghosts Array Formation would be able to exhibit tenfold its previous power with the Extreme Yin Physique as its vessel!”

“Looking at it this way, it doesn’t seem so bad that this youngster foiled my plans; instead, he’s brought me a great gift!”

He lurked in the shadows, watching Lu Chuan and Han Qingci, muttering, “Lad, consider yourself lucky.

I’ll let you go for now.

Once I capture this girl and refine her for the Ten Thousand Ghosts Array Formation, I will come to settle the score with you!”

Lu Chuan and Han Qingci were unaware of Mu Laogui’s stalking.

At this moment, Lu Chuan was contemplating how to confirm whether Han Qingci had regained her sexual orientation due to Nangong Duoduo.

Then Han Qingci reached out and took his arm, being as affectionate as before.

Lu Chuan let out a sigh, already knowing that his method hadn’t worked.

Han Qingci felt the unease of a thief caught in the act and said, “Brother Lu Chuan, how about tonight, I take good care of you?”

Lu Chuan rolled his eyes, then pushed Han Qingci’s hand away, saying seriously, “Qingci, have you done something to wrong me?”

Han Qingci froze and said, “No…

not at all.”

Lu Chuan snorted coldly and said, “If you haven’t, why are you suddenly thinking of taking good care of me tonight?

Isn’t this a sign of a guilty conscience?”

“Moreover, when you and Nangong Duoduo came out of the room, both of your faces were flushed, breathing erratic, and even your clothes were not properly worn.

It clearly looked like you both had done something.”

“Qingci, I sent you to treat Nangong Duoduo because I trusted you, but I didn’t expect you to wrong me.”

“I am so disappointed in you!

You better not come to my room tonight!”

Han Qingci’s face was filled with urgency, and she explained, “Brother Lu Chuan, I really haven’t done you wrong, it’s just that the massage technique you taught me is too…

too that, and we were soaking in water, I’ve been trying hard to restrain myself, that’s why I blushed!”

“You don’t need to explain to me.

I want to be alone and quiet for a while,” he replied.

Lu Chuan pretended to be angry, then quickly walked on ahead.

Han Qingci was so anxious she was almost crying, quickly chasing after him.

“Brother Lu Chuan, listen to my explanation!”

Lu Chuan ignored her, though in his heart he was wondering if what he was doing was a bit shameless.

“Sigh, the main reason is that Qingci, after drinking the Peach Blossom Brew, was being too affectionate towards me, insisting on sleeping in my room every night.

Even if my patience is strong, I can’t be like a saint, always restraining from doing anything untoward to her.

So, I can only use this method to keep some distance from her.”

“As for the possibility of hurting Qingci’s feelings with this approach, when I find the antidote for the Peach Blossom Brew and give it to her, she definitely won’t mind anymore.

After all, Qingci without the influence of the Peach Blossom Brew has no interest in me.

Perhaps by then, she might even thank me for not taking advantage of her.”

Having made up his mind, Lu Chuan decided to be ruthless this time and let Han Qingci suffer for a while.

Han Qingci followed Lu Chuan all the way to the entrance of the Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association.

“Brother Lu Chuan, I really did nothing wrong to you.

Can’t you trust Qingci just this once?”

Lu Chuan stopped, turned his head to look at Han Qingci, and said, “Qingci, I want to be alone.

Can you go home?”

Han Qingci obviously didn’t want to leave, but seeing Lu Chuan’s expression and worrying that insisting on following him would make him even angrier, she could only reluctantly say, “Then…

alright then.”

“But Brother Lu Chuan, Qingci is devoted to you, I have done nothing wrong to you.

When you’ve calmed down, can you listen to my explanation?”

Lu Chuan nodded and said, “I’ll be by myself for a few days.

I’ll come looking for you once I’ve calmed down.

You should go home now.”

Han Qingci held back tears and nodded.

Lu Chuan turned and entered the Martial Arts Association.

As Han Qingci watched Lu Chuan leave, tears began streaming down her cheeks.

Choking back sobs, she walked towards her home, filled with self-reproach.

“I’m really too foolish, always making Brother Lu Chuan angry and causing misunderstandings.”

“Why can’t I ever win Brother Lu Chuan’s affection?

If Brother Lu Chuan truly doesn’t want me anymore, how am I supposed to live, sob sob sob…”

Just at that moment, a figure blocked her path; it was none other than Mu Laogui.

Mu Laogui looked at Han Qingci with a smile and said, “Young lady, I have a way to make your Brother Lu Chuan forgive you, would you like to hear it?”
