For the next five days, neither Beiming Yu nor Dongfang Yuexiao sought out Liu Yueqi alone, and even the evening storytelling sessions were skipped.

Only when Liu Yueqi brought meals to Bai Yeqing could he see the three of them smiling at him in Bai Yeqing's room.

Liu Yueqi was somewhat puzzled, not knowing what the three were up to.

Could it be that they thought I was too indulgent before, flirting with both, and now they are joining forces to suppress me?

But even if they want to suppress me, shouldn't they all come at me together, completely overwhelming me?

Why is it the opposite?

Do they see me as an insatiable lecher in their eyes?

Liu Yueqi felt somewhat depressed about this.

Fortunately, every time he sneaked some affection while feeding Xiao Bai, Bai Yeqing did not refuse.

Well... the little fox is like this...

In her heart, nothing is more important than being intimate with Xiao Qi!

In comparison, the little black dragon is much more tsundere.

Even if she is green with envy, she firmly refuses to come forward.

She can only scold Bai Yeqing for "stealing food" openly after Liu Yueqi leaves!

Of course, it's just a mild reprimand, nothing too harsh.

After all, according to the plan they had agreed upon, as long as they didn't have a substantial relationship with the little lecher, a little touching and rubbing was still acceptable.

Moreover, after starting the shift system with Zhou Botong, Liu Yueqi could only see them every other day, resulting in very few meetings these days.

If they were to stop the little fox from being intimate with her lover under these circumstances, it would be somewhat unreasonable.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Botong finally discovered a problem: even if he went to deliver the evening meal, he would be stopped by Ling'er on the first floor, unable to go up to the second floor, let alone see the Holy Maiden...

From then on, he finally believed what Liu Yueqi had said and did not continue to pester him as before.

If everyone is treated the same, then his heart is much more balanced.

And these past few days, Beiming Yu and Dongfang Yuexiao did not come to him, Zhou Botong did not bother him anymore, and Bai Yuanyu, perhaps because the clan competition was approaching, went somewhere to train and did not come over either.

His little shabby house suddenly became quiet...

...

Five days later.

A man stood in the hall, bowing slightly to the elder at the head.

"Elder, after so many days, we still haven't found direct evidence of Bai Qi and the Holy Maiden's affair. The only possible place they could have interacted is... when Bai Qi enters the embroidered building under the pretext of delivering meals during the Holy Maiden's dinner! What happens inside the embroidered building is still unclear... but Bai Qi only stays inside for half an incense stick each day, which doesn't seem like a secret rendezvous!"

"Seeming not doesn't mean it's impossible. You must know, currently, he is the only one who can freely enter and leave Liyue Cottage, which is quite strange!" The elder seemed convinced that Bai Qi was Liu Yueqi, and said coldly, "You've been watching him for so many days, hasn't he shown any flaws?"

The man lowered his head and shook it, then continued, "Elder... news has come from Chu Jing!"

"Oh? Speak!"

"Our people have investigated and found that Liu Yueqi, who disappeared three years ago, appeared in Chu Jing a month ago!"

"A month ago? That means he's not there now? I remember Bai Qi was brought to the Spirit Fox Clan by Bai Chenjian at the end of June..." The elder narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp.

"Correct... Liu Yueqi is indeed no longer in Chu Jing now! But... according to our inquiries, he should have gone to Chen Country to participate in the mortal autumn examinations! Chu Country and Chen Country are far apart, our people couldn't follow him all the way to investigate, so they sent the message back..."

"Elder, there's one more thing! Our informant in Liyue Cottage recently reported that Bai Qi, under the pretext of cooking for the Holy Maiden, freely enters and leaves Liyue Cottage. Although he can't go to the Holy Maiden's pavilion, he has become quite close to a doorkeeper maid in front of the pavilion..."

"A doorkeeper maid? You mean those who can't cultivate? The waste?" The elder stroked his beard, looking puzzled.

"Exactly those little foxes without cultivation, our informant in Liyue Cottage is one of them!"

"Besides me, the other two elders probably have also planted many eyes in there... This is interesting, could that boy have noticed something? Trying to turn these eyes?"

"Not exactly..." The man hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "Our informant accidentally discovered that Bai Qi seems to be inquiring about the Holy Maiden's information through that little fox! I believe, if Bai Qi had a private relationship with the Holy Maiden, why would he go through the trouble of inquiring through someone else... and he does it so secretly, if it weren't for our informant's good relationship with that little fox, it would be hard to get her to talk..."

"Are you saying... my speculation is wrong? This Bai Qi has no relation at all to Liu Yueqi from Chu Jing?" The elder's face turned cold as he glanced at the man below.

"I dare not!" The man immediately knelt down, but still gritted his teeth and said, "I just think, such a big matter that violates the heavenly rules, with Bai Clan Leader's temperament, he definitely wouldn't let us easily find any flaws, even if we spend more time on that boy, it would be hard to gain anything..."

"Hmph!" The elder snorted coldly, but after thinking for a while, he finally said, "Forget it... that old fox is indeed not easy to deal with, the clan competition is approaching, you go down and prepare yourself, no need to keep an eye on that boy for now!"
