Chapter 1349

In the front courtyard, Qing Yan, Li Tie Niu, Li Tie Dan, and that spirit chef, the four of them glanced toward the rear courtyard, intentionally or not.

Qing Yan wondered whether Qiu Baiyi could take him down in one go, while Li Tie Niu and the other two wondered whether Ye Zhangqing could resist the temptation.

In short, the four of them now focused their attention on the rear courtyard.

But the next second, a miserable scream suddenly came from the rear courtyard.

"Holy shit, what's wrong?"

The four were first stunned, then immediately ran together toward the rear courtyard.

What is Qiu Baiyi trying to do? Is she intending to destroy it if she can't have it? Kill in anger?

Li Tie Niu and the other two felt their hearts sink to the valley's bottom; if Ye Zhangqing died, their fate could easily be imagined.

However, Qing Yan knew Qiu Baiyi could never strike a killing blow at Ye Zhangqing—she hadn't even had time to cherish him.

It's just a simple massage to relax, so how did it end up sounding like a pig being slaughtered?

Each with their own thoughts, the four rushed into the rear courtyard; the room's door was shut tight, and faintly they could hear the conversation between Qiu Baiyi and Ye Zhangqing.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to—how are you? I………………"

"Don't move, your waist is broken."

Inside the room, Qiu Baiyi knelt helplessly on the bed, while Ye Zhangqing's face was ashen and his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"Damn, is this called a massage?"

He clenched his teeth tightly and cursed angrily.

"Does your massage use cultivation?"

His bones were completely crushed by Qiu Baiyi's pressure; even though Ye Zhangqing had Great Saint cultivation, Qiu Baiyi is Emperor Sovereign Realm, so he likely couldn't recover quickly.

He hurriedly took a Saint-grade healing pill from his Space Ring, and after taking it, Ye Zhangqing felt considerably better.

Faced with Ye Zhangqing's blame, Qiu Baiyi was at a loss, full of self-reproach.

"Yes…… sorry, I didn't know; I've never given anyone a massage before, so…… I just thought, since we're both cultivators and you have Great Saint cultivation, using a bit of spiritual power might make you feel more comfortable…… I…… sorry, really sorry."

They were both somewhat incoherent; seeing Qiu Baiyi like that, Ye Zhangqing didn't say much more.

Just knowing this woman has big trouble today—her waist is broken.

"Boss, are you alright?"

"Valley Master, you………………"

At that moment, the voices of Li Tie Niu, Qing Yan, and the four sounded outside the door; Ye Zhangqing replied irritably.

"Come in and help me."

"Huh???"

Only after receiving Ye Zhangqing's permission did the four dare to push the door open.

"Boss, we're coming in then."

The four entered the room; at this moment, Qiu Baiyi had already risen from the bed, standing at the bedside, her hands gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, head lowered, like a child who's done wrong, showing none of her usual domineering aura.

Ye Zhangqing, meanwhile, lay prone on the bed, grimacing in pain.

Li Tie Niu and the other two rushed straight to Ye Zhangqing, while Qing Yan went to Qiu Baiyi's side at once.

"Boss, how are you? Are you alright?"

The three asked anxiously.

"I'm fine, my waist is broken—help me back."

"Oh oh."

The three supported Ye Zhangqing, trembling as they walked out of the room; this time, Qiu Baiyi didn't dare step forward—she was flustered, unsure how to explain herself to Ye Zhangqing.

Only after Ye Zhangqing left did Qiu Baiyi's eyes turn red.

"What should we do? What should we do now? Zhangqing will surely hate me to death."

"Valley Master, what exactly happened? A perfectly fine massage—how did the waist break?"

Qing Yan was also completely baffled—didn't you just let them massage to relax? How could the waist break?

Upon hearing this, Qiu Baiyi spoke with both eyes red.

"It's all my fault; I'm to blame for using spiritual power—I wanted Zhangqing to be more comfortable, I………………"

"Huh???"

Hearing Qiu Baiyi's words, Qing Yan was utterly bewildered—if you're giving a massage, just give a massage; why use spiritual power?

You're trying to press him to death.

You don't even know your own cultivation—how could Ye Zhangqing withstand Emperor Sovereign‑level force?

She regretted it deeply, even losing the appetite for dinner and just heading back.

Although Qing Yan was drooling with desire, since Qiu Baiyi was leaving, she naturally couldn't stay behind alone.

So she could only suppress her drool and accompany Qiu Baiyi back to the Dong Fu.

After returning, Qiu Baiyi sat alone in a daze, her gaze vacant, saying nothing.

Qing Yan felt helpless, only able to keep her company; after more than an hour, Qiu Baiyi slowly lifted her head and looked at Qing Yan.

"What should we do now?"

She couldn't think of a good solution, so she could only ask Qing Yan; Qiu Baiyi didn't understand these matters, she was just full of self‑reproach.

Looking at Qiu Baiyi with both eyes red from crying, Qing Yan also felt a complex mix of emotions.

Who would have thought that, as one of the three major powers of the Tianwu Realm and the Valley Master of Bai Song Valley, Qiu Baiyi, an Emperor Sovereign‑level powerhouse, would have such a side.

At this moment, Qiu Baiyi's appearance tugs at the heartstrings; Qing Yan feels the same—who could bear to see such a fairy shed tears?

After a moment of contemplation, Qing Yan spoke seriously.

"Valley Master, we definitely need to go apologize now."

But... but will Ye Zhangqing forgive me?

Definitely will, Valley Master, you didn't do it on purpose; it was an unintentional mistake— as long as you are sincere, there will definitely be no problem.

Under Qingyan's encouragement, Qiu Baiyi gradually cheered up.

She got up and wanted to go to Ye Zhangqing's Dong Fu, but Qingyan stopped her.

What's wrong?

She asked with a puzzled expression; upon hearing that, Qingyan felt helpless.

Valley Master, are you really planning to go like that?

What else would you do?

Since you're going to apologize, you definitely need sincerity— how can you go empty-handed?

Yes, but Ye Zhangqing lacks nothing; he already has many treasures on himself, and I've given him plenty— what should we give?

As for what to bring to apologize at the door, the main point is that Ye Zhangqing lacks nothing.

Upon hearing that, Qingyan spoke up.

Valley Master, you don't actually need to bring a precious treasure; as you said, Young Master Ye lacks nothing, bringing ordinary treasures isn't very meaningful.

Qingyan knows these things well; men of high status actually don't care what you give them, because they already have all these things.

More often, what these high-status men actually value is your sincerity.

The higher the status of the man, the more this holds true.

Sincerity?

Upon hearing that, Qiu Baiyi murmured, while Qingyan beside her kept reminding.

Yes, sincerity. Valley Master, think carefully: what could represent your sincerity? Ideally something only you can give to Young Master Ye, like playing a guqin piece for him, expressing your apology in the melody.

Qingyan just said it offhand, but upon hearing that, Qiu Baiyi's eyes lit up and she exclaimed excitedly.

I can play the guqin; I previously Xiūliàn in the way of musical tones, I can play a piece for Ye Zhangqing— your idea is good.

Seeing that, Qingyan also smiled and nodded in agreement.

That would be great; when the time comes, Valley Master will express your apology through the guqin's melody, and I believe Ye Zhangqing will surely feel it.

Hmm, this time I will definitely not make a mistake again; I must sincerely express my apology to Ye Zhangqing.
