Wei Luo staggered up again, and as she walked past He Kao, she gave his shoulder a pat, as if to express admiration or praise, carrying with her a scent of alcohol and her body fragrance, then headed to the small bedroom opposite.

She still sat by the bed, patting the pillow and the bed frame with her hands, her feet dangling as she played with her shoes.

In early August according to the solar calendar, it was the hottest time in Qi Yuan. She had taken off her thin sun-protective clothing, wearing only a tight-fitting short-sleeve top underneath, which complemented her figure, and her arms were also fair and tender.

He Kao stood at the door and said, "Weren't you going to sleep? What are you doing now? If you're not satisfied with this bed, there's a carpenter's workbench on the second floor; the weather's not cold anyway, you could lay out a mat and sleep there."

Wei Luo: "A carpenter's workbench? You actually still use that… quite playful!"

He Kao said sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Wei Luo actually let out a laugh, "Feeling guilty, huh? I didn't even say anything… Oh, this bed also has a story, but it's a different kind of story. I'll sleep here then, you probably won't take the chance to bully me."

He Kao didn't want to deal with her anymore, and just closed the door.

Wei Luo is a Tier Five Wanderer and has already begun cultivating the Celestial Secret Skill. He Kao had previously learned about the power of the Celestial Secret Skill from Immortal Tan. With just a clue, what story couldn't be uncovered?

This small room indeed has a story. During the Golden Week holiday last year, Gao Xue'e initially stayed here, and was too unsettled to sleep peacefully until He Kao sat by the bed. At that time, He Kao behaved properly and did nothing.

As for later, Gao Xue'e then slept in the big bedroom with He Kao, and that was a completely different story.

It's unclear how far this girl's cultivation of the Celestial Secret Skill has progressed, but surely not as expert as Immortal Tan, and this technique can't be easily used... However, feeling the pillow and the bed for information doesn't seem too difficult.

This kind of skill isn't very likable, but fortunately, the Lingxi Sect has its own rules, and the Celestial Secret Skill shouldn't be used recklessly, and using it carelessly can lead to a backlash.

The little girl's words are quite bold, making He Kao a little uncomfortable, unexpected that she has this kind of style, but on second thought, it's understandable.

Wei Luo is not some ancient person, but a young student of the information age, also with Tier Five cultivation, what hasn't she seen? After drinking a little, who knows who's teasing whom... He Kao actually felt a bit teased.

Forget it, no need to fuss over it.

After eating and drinking enough, it's not suitable to do other activities for now, so He Kao sat under the shady tree in the yard, drinking tea to nourish the spirit. There is a jujube tree in the backyard, which had grown there even before this small building was constructed, with lush branches bearing plenty of fruit.

Grandfather had planted a circle of bamboo along the inner walls of the front and back yards back then, not only for decoration but also to block the surrounding view. However, every spring and summer, the bamboo shoots popping up in the middle of the yard need to be cleared.

The underground bamboo rhizomes might damage the wall's foundation, but the foundation of the small building and the yard wall is very deep and solid.

He Kao drank tea while listening to the cicadas' calls of summer from near and far, his mind at peace and harmony, and at that moment, to his surprise, he heard Wei Luo snoring. Her snores weren't loud, rather pleasant, just like a little creature whimpering.

Wei Luo slept for two hours before getting up, stretched and went to the washroom to wash her face, feeling refreshed and coming out without a trace of the drunk smell left.

She put on her sun-protective clothing and walked into the yard, once again resembling a quiet girl.

He Kao: "Have a cup of tea to wake up."

Wei Luo didn't sit down, grabbed a tea cup and took a big sip, raising her head to look at the tree crown and said, "The jujubes are almost ripe, when will they be picked?"

He Kao: "Some are already ripe, feel free to pick them."

Wei Luo opened both pockets with her hands and called towards the tree, "Jujubes, jujubes, come down!"

A lot of ripe jujubes fell down from between the branches and leaves, their skin a mix of gold and red, all plump, flying into the pockets at her waist, filling them to a bulge.

She took out one, eating while laughing, "Look, your jujubes listen to me."

He Kao was also amused by her, "That's because it's me who's offering them to you."

Wei Luo: "Master did keep his word."

He Kao wondered, "Why mention this all of a sudden?"

Wei Luo: "He said back then that if I found you in Qi Yuan, I would have food and accommodation... I found your cooking quite good, staying here is also not bad."

He Kao: "Isn't that him keeping his word?"

Wei Luo's manner of speaking is as elusive as she is, suddenly changing topics, "There's just one slight flaw."

He Kao: "Chief Steward Wei, do you have any suggestions for improvement?"

Wei Luo: "The food is good, just the living space is a bit small, why aren't the second and third floors furnished?"

He Kao: "Back when the building was completed, there wasn't enough money... I'm planning to furnish it sometime later."

Wei Luo: "Not enough money? Don't you know how much the solid wood furniture on your ground floor is worth?"

He Kao: "Those were made from old silver silk wood materials my grandfather accumulated, which are almost extinct now. No matter their worth, I'm not planning to sell them."

Wei Luo: "You actually know about silver silk wood, many carpenters these days probably haven't even heard of it."

He Kao: "My family has been carpenters for seven generations, including me, going back further we're probably still carpenters, it's just that it's unclear. You're the surprising one, being able to recognize silver silk wood."

Wei Luo: "In the Ancestral Hall of the Flower Shocking Grotto Heaven, the incense table used for the ancestral ritual was made of silver silk wood, I've seen it. That place is not only the Lingxi Sect's ritual site, but also where the Seven Great Magic Sects collectively honor their ancestors."
