On the roof of the main hall, Ge Qingzhi’s face was full of an uncontrollable smile.
“Look at that, look! My dear Xiaoyue is truly my daughter, making the first move just like that! She really takes after me back in the day… But why stop at just holding hands? Why not take the next step?”
Tuoba Encheng’s expression became quite strange.
That’s your own biological daughter. Are you really not even the slightest bit worried that she might be taken advantage of?
Tuoba Encheng let out a cold snort.
“Wife, should we really not intervene? They keep saying they aren’t dao companions, yet here they are spending the night together in the same room…”
“This isn’t exactly proper etiquette!”
Ge Qingzhi slapped Tuoba Encheng on the back.
The mighty Tuoba family head, who was in the Tribulation Realm, was almost knocked over by the blow.
“I don’t care about what’s proper or not! In my eyes, Xiaoyue and Ye Yu are childhood sweethearts, perfectly suited for each other!”
“Even though Ye Yu’s cultivation level is still low, only at the Golden Core realm, but so what? As long as we’re willing, we can use our cultivation resources to push him up to the Integration realm!”
“Cultivation levels aren’t everything. As long as he likes Xiaoyue, that’s all that matters!”
Tuoba Encheng staggered, but he managed to steady himself in the end.
He couldn’t help but sigh.
“Wife, that’s not what I’m worried about. I’m thinking more about whether Ye Yu knows the secret about Yue’er’s eyes. And if he does find out, how will he react?”
Hearing this, Ge Qingzhi fell silent for a long time.
Her eyes grew slightly red.
She then walked down from the rooftop, no longer watching the scene between Ye Yu and Tuoba Qiyue in the room.
Tuoba Encheng also sighed, and followed her down.
At the same time, inside the room, Tuoba Qiyue was furiously writing, her creativity flowing effortlessly.
She was so focused that the sound of pages turning became quite loud.
This caused Ye Yu to slowly wake up.
Seeing the eldest senior sister, Tuoba Qiyue, in front of him, Ye Yu instinctively thought he was dreaming.
So, he closed his eyes again, intending to get a bit more sleep.
But then, he felt warmth in his palm.
Ye Yu immediately snapped awake and asked in surprise, “Senior Sister, what are you doing here?”
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Qiyue froze entirely, staring at Ye Yu in disbelief.
Didn’t this guy usually sleep like a rock?
How did he wake up so quickly tonight?
For a moment, Tuoba Qiyue became extremely flustered, not even knowing how to respond.
However, the first thing she did was close her book.
This must be a common affliction among novelists. Having someone familiar read their work in front of them is akin to a public execution!
Ye Yu was on the verge of a breakdown.
Why was it that the people from Wuzhi Peak always had such unconventional ways of doing things?
First, Second Senior Sister Xie Muling was getting up close and personal.
He initially planned to drive the wolf away and let Tuoba Qiyue suppress Xie Muling. It worked, but unexpectedly, it turned into raising a tiger that would cause trouble.
Xie Muling left, and now here came Tuoba Qiyue.
You bold people, you are really audacious!
“Ahem, actually, I came to check if your blanket was properly covered,” Tuoba Qiyue said after thinking for a long time. “I hope that reason is appropriate?”
Ye Yu sighed, “What do you think?”
Covering a blanket is probably something only mortals need to worry about, right?
Strictly speaking, as long as one becomes a cultivator, meditation can replace sleep. Not only is it efficient, but it also saves time for cultivation.
Once cultivators reach the Foundation Establishment stage, it’s even more so.
With Ye Yu’s current cultivation level, he could go without sleep all the time, but he didn’t need to follow the usual methods of cultivation.
Meditation was too dull for him, which is why he chose to sleep.
Covering a blanket?
That excuse was terrible.
Tuoba Qiyue also felt it was inappropriate, so she hurriedly gathered her book and pen and said her goodbyes.
After leaving the bedroom, Tuoba Qiyue felt her face burning intensely.
Being caught like that was truly embarrassing.
But what could she do?
Without junior brother’s “hand-holding” support, Tuoba Qiyue had no inspiration whatsoever. If only one day they could hold hands openly, how wonderful that would be!
At that moment, she suddenly remembered what her mother had said before.
“Childhood sweethearts, suited for family life, good dao companions.”
If she could really become a dao companion with Ye Yu, then she could openly hold his hand all the time.
Just thinking about that scene made her excited.
Actually, junior brother was quite a good choice!
However, this thought was fleeting. Tuoba Qiyue raised her hand to touch her eyes. In the end, she could only sigh and return to her room.
Inside the bedroom, Ye Yu was tossing and turning.
He truly didn’t understand why Tuoba Qiyue and Xie Muling acted this way.
One was holding hands, the other was getting too close… Why were the senior sisters doing this?
Just as he pondered, there was a knock at the door.
Ye Yu thought it might be Tuoba Qiyue returning, so he waved his sleeve and opened the door.
“Eldest Senior Sister, you still… Auntie, what brings you here?”
To his surprise, it was Ge Qingzhi standing outside.
What was she up to?
Late at night, knocking on his door, a man and a married woman alone together. In the Tuoba family’s residence, her husbad is currently… ahem, this is a bit much!
Ye Yu immediately stood up to greet her, cautiously glancing outside.
But to his shock, Ge Qingzhi took an even bolder step.
She turned around and closed the door behind her.
Ye Yu’s expression changed greatly.
No way?
Was this really appropriate?
“Auntie, what are you trying to do?” Ye Yu couldn’t help but take a step back.
Even though Ge Qingzhi was extremely beautiful, there were some more things to be valued.
Ge Qingzhi slowly sat down in a chair and pulled out a peach about the size of a fist from her storage ring.
It glimmered with starlight, looking quite magical.
“This is the Heavenly Soul Fruit you needed. I brought it for you.”
Ye Yu approached but didn’t immediately reach for it. Instead, he tentatively asked, “Auntie, how many spirit stones do you want for it?”
Ge Qingzhi smiled and replied, “The Heavenly Soul Fruit comes from the Heavenly Tree, which blooms once every two thousand years and bears fruit after another two thousand.”
“Whoever consumes it can strengthen their soul, enhance their cultivation, and gain great benefits when facing tribulation in the future.”
“You could say it’s priceless. In the cultivation world, there are people lining up for this fruit from the Central Continent to the Southern Barbarian Continent.”
“Now, tell me, how many spirit stones would be appropriate to buy it?”
Ye Yu raised an eyebrow but remained silent.
It seemed that the Heavenly Soul Fruit was so precious that relying solely on spirit stones might not suffice.
Was she expecting an artifact instead?
To his surprise, Ge Qingzhi suddenly pushed the Heavenly Soul Fruit toward him.
“Like I said, if we become family, you won’t need to give anything in return. The Heavenly Soul Fruit is a gift!”
Ye Yu felt quite puzzled.
“Auntie, I’m really curious. With my eldest senior sister’s strength and beauty, plus the power of the Tuoba family, surely she could have her pick of any talented young man. Why do you seem so intent on pairing us together?”
