Chapter 1368: Sudden Attack

This woman is truly foolish, she completely ruined her own Dao heart.

She only gets away with it because her cultivation is high; otherwise, if her Dao heart completely collapses, her cultivation would be ruined.

Ye Zhangqing quickly made four dishes with nimble hands and feet, brought them to the backyard, and Qiu Baiyi's condition grew worse.

Placing the food on the stone table in the Yuàn zhōng, Ye Zhangqing said helplessly.

"Hurry up and eat, don't just stand there."

Smelling the aroma of the food, Qiu Baiyi finally had a slight reaction, turning her head to look at the food on the table.

She unconsciously swallowed saliva, then mechanically picked up her bowl and chopsticks and began eating voraciously.

However, as time passed, Qiu Baiyi's aura gradually began to stabilize.

The previously fluctuating Línglì also gradually stabilized.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing finally breathed a sigh of relief; as long as it stabilizes, that's fine.

The four dishes were swept away by Qiu Baiyi like a wind sweeping away clouds; as she set down her utensils, some spirit returned to her eyes.

She glanced at Ye Zhangqing with a somewhat shy look, opening her mouth.

"I............."

"Alright, I don't know what you were thinking, neglecting your own Dao heart? From now on, I'll make meals for you at Fàn diǎn."

Without waiting for Qiu Baiyi to speak, Ye Zhangqing directly interrupted.

Knowing this woman is thin-skinned, Ye Zhangqing didn't expose her; hearing his words, Qiu Baiyi froze for a moment, then broke into a brilliant smile and said.

"Good."

Seeing Qiu Baiyi like that, Ye Zhangqing helplessly shook his head, really having no other choice.

After clearing the utensils, Qiu Baiyi was still waiting in the Yuàn zhōng; seeing this, Ye Zhangqing's expression changed and he asked tentatively.

"Can we rest today?"

Blinking her big eyes at Ye Zhangqing, after a long while, Qiu Baiyi finally said.

"Okay, but you can't drive me away."

"Sure."

As long as we can rest, I don't care about her; moreover, Ye Zhangqing's feelings toward Qiu Baiyi are complicated to say the least.

Tonight we can finally get a good night's sleep.

But the next morning, upon waking and seeing Qiu Baiyi clinging to him like an octopus, Ye Zhangqing still gave a helpless laugh.

In front of outsiders, the extremely proud Qiu Baiyi also has this side.

Gently prying her hands and feet apart, even though Ye Zhangqing had been very careful, he still woke Qiu Baiyi.

Maybe she naturally sleeps lightly, or perhaps she fears waking up and not seeing someone.

Opening her eyes, she looked at Ye Zhangqing with a dazed, cute expression; seeing this, Ye Zhangqing said somewhat embarrassedly.

"It's morning."

"Oh."

Ye Zhangqing got up, and Qiu Baiyi followed closely behind; unlike others, Ye Zhangqing still prefers to wash up in the ordinary way rather than using a purification spell.

Qiu Baiyi beside him, seeing this, asked curiously.

"Zhangqing, why don't you use a purification spell?"

"Just habit."

Although he has cultivation at the Great Saint Realm, in many aspects Ye Zhangqing still retains some habits similar to those of mortals.

Hearing this, Qiu Baiyi didn't press further, imitating him and washing up together.

But this woman seems unaccustomed, appearing clumsy.

Especially seeing the towel instantly vaporized, Ye Zhangqing said speechlessly.

"Why are you wringing the towel with so much force?"

"Don't I need to wring it dry?"

"There's no need to use cultivation for that."

There was no choice; Ye Zhangqing could only teach her hands-on, and under his guidance they finally finished washing up.

The two walked out of the room one after another, with Qiu Baiyi following behind Ye Zhangqing, a smile appearing on her face.

Looking at Ye Zhangqing's back, her eyes full of amusement, she liked the feeling just now; could this be what Qīngyān said, the feeling between dao companions?

Time was still early; just like the past few days, Qiu Baiyi gently brewed tea for Ye Zhangqing and also prepared some ling fruit.

The two sat in the courtyard, not saying much.

For Qiu Baiyi, as long as she could stay by Ye Zhangqing's side, that was enough; she didn't ask for anything else.

When it was Fàn diǎn, Ye Zhangqing went to the front courtyard to cook again.

Now the number of disciples coming to the Canteen is increasing, already exceeding thirty thousand.

Therefore, each time the meal is opened, fierce competition is unavoidable.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Ye Zhangqing, and with Qiu Baiyi around, he doesn't need to worry.

In a good mood, Qiu Baiyi also stepped forward to maintain order while the disciples competed.

"Valley Master, aren't you eating?"

Seeing Qiu Baiyi, an Elder asked; hearing this, Qiu Baiyi smiled faintly.

"I don't need to."

After saying that, she returned to the backyard with a smile; she doesn't eat with everyone, Ye Zhangqing had prepared a meal specially for her.

But the Elders didn't know; seeing Qiu Baiyi walking toward the backyard with a smile, all the Elders were puzzled.

What's there to be happy about not eating? Shouldn't it be unpleasant?

After the food was prepared, the duty of serving meals remained with Li Tie Niu, Li Tie Dan, and that spirit chef—three people.

Ye Zhangqing then brought the meal prepared for Qiu Baiyi back to the rear courtyard.

Upon entering the rear courtyard, he saw Qiu Baiyi, who had long been gazing eagerly.

At the sight of Ye Zhangqing, her eyes couldn't help but brighten.

Eat.

Let's eat together.

After laying out the dishes, Ye Zhangqing spoke, and Qiu Baiyi added a pair of chopsticks for him, saying shyly.

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing did not refuse.

Though they said they would eat together, in the end almost all of it went into Qiu Baiyi's stomach.

Ye Zhangqing merely took a few casual bites, after all, his own cooking naturally couldn't have much appeal.

As for Qiu Baiyi, after finishing her meal, she said somewhat embarrassedly.

Sorry, I couldn't hold back.

It's fine; could my own cooking possibly make me crave it?

That's true too.

In front of Ye Zhangqing, Qiu Baiyi seemed to have become a different person.

Now Ye Zhangqing really doesn't know what to do; when the people from Yun Xiantai arrive, how should he choose then?

Take Qiu Baiyi and leave together? But Bai Song Gu...............

His mind was somewhat in turmoil, up and down, unable to figure it out for the moment, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Another peaceful day, but just after nightfall, the Blood King Palace and Soaring Heaven Pavilion launched a simultaneous attack on Bai Song Gu without any warning.

The two major forces simultaneously invaded Bai Song Gu's territory, fully prepared, sending out their strongest, clearly having made thorough preparations—not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

In the courtyard, Ye Zhangqing and Qiu Baiyi, who had not yet rested, were originally chatting idly, enjoying their rare time alone together.

Outside the courtyard, an Elder's voice rang out urgently.

"Valley Master."

Being disturbed, Qiu Baiyi's face sank; after much difficulty, Ye Zhangqing had only just improved his attitude toward her, and now someone actually came to disturb him.

"Let's go see what might have happened."

It was Ye Zhangqing who spoke a comforting sentence, after which Qiu Baiyi's expression improved a bit.

"Hmm, then I'll go check."

"Go."

She spoke gently to Ye Zhangqing, then rose and left the rear courtyard.
