Hua Rumeng eventually arranged for the group to rest in a separate courtyard behind the main hall.

This is where Hua Rumeng cultivates herself in her spare time. The courtyard is not only planted with all kinds of exotic flowers that make people feel refreshed just by smelling their fragrance, but also has a separate hot spring for bathing.

Since it was still early, Hua Rumeng arranged accommodations for several people and then excused herself, saying she still needed to handle sect affairs.

Li Chen and his two companions were enjoying tea and a short rest at the stone table in the courtyard, inhaling the refreshing fragrance of flowers. Not far away, the Hundred Flowers Spring was steaming, making the whole courtyard look ethereal and like a fairyland.

After pouring tea for Li Chen and the other person, the sensible Xuan Ji went into the room under the pretext of tidying up the bed, leaving the two of them alone.

He Ying glanced at Xuan Ji's departing figure with her beautiful eyes, and tried to ease the awkwardness by starting a conversation: "Why doesn't Young Master Li try the Hundred Flowers Spring water? This Hundred Flowers Spring water can not only beautify the skin, but also soothe the mind and relieve fatigue."

With such an invitation from a beauty, how could Li Chen refuse? He took He Ying's soft, boneless fingers in his large hand and smiled, "Then I'll have to trouble Sect Leader He."

He Ying's face instantly turned red from her neck to her ears. She had not originally intended to do so. Even though Li Chen misunderstood that she was thinking about that wonderful feeling, she had no intention of refusing and even felt a little expectant.

After all, these were all new things she had never experienced before!
Soon, the sound of rushing spring water echoed from the courtyard, clearly indicating that the two had begun to spar again.

On the other side, Hua Rumeng was quickly dealing with the sect's trivial matters.

She and He Ying had been best friends since childhood, but they had little contact since they got married. At this moment, she only wanted to have a long talk with He Ying all night and pour out the bitterness and joy that had been buried in her heart for many years.

As the last few beautiful women who had just been taken in by the clan were settled, Hua Rumeng couldn't wait to walk towards the courtyard where He Ying was. When no one was around, her carefree, bouncy manner resembled that of an excited child.

However, the closer Hua Rumeng got to the courtyard, the more her brows furrowed.

For no other reason than the constant "thumping" sound of the spring water, and the two weary panting sounds that belong only to those inside.

Hua Rumeng was not naive; she had a vague suspicion in her heart. To confirm her thoughts, she tiptoed to the door and cautiously peeked inside through the crack.

"Huh?" Hua Rumeng instinctively wanted to make a sound, but quickly covered her mouth with her hand, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Seeing that the two people inside seemed to have noticed, Hua Rumeng dared not linger any longer and quickly and cautiously tiptoed away.

It wasn't until the banquet was almost over that Hua Rumeng had He Ying invited to the study.

"Rumeng, what's wrong?" He Ying arrived late, her face beaming as she came up behind Hua Rumeng. Without any hesitation, she looked around Hua Rumeng's chest and pulled her into her arms.

"Tell me, what just happened?" Hua Rumeng blushed as she recalled the scene, biting her lower lip as if she couldn't bring herself to speak.

He Ying's husband, Hua Rumeng, had seen it all. In the conservative Hua Rumeng's mind, all of this was too shocking and unbearable, so she didn't even have the mood to ask questions indirectly.

"What? What just happened?" He Ying was slightly taken aback, but her heart was filled with fear.

She was indeed a little lost in thought just now, and didn't pay much attention to the slight rustling outside. Now she wondered if it was her best friend who had just passed by.

He Ying naturally couldn't admit it. As if remembering something, she pursed her lips and said, "Oh, you mean just now? Just now, Young Master Li was teaching me palm techniques! Although Young Master Li is young, he is at the peak of the Saint Realm. This is an opportunity!"

He Ying was a little hesitant when she said this, but she became more and more determined as she spoke.

Putting aside the feelings she's never experienced before, just the fact that she's an older woman dating a younger man is a huge win for her, isn't it?

Moreover, not only is Young Master Li incredibly handsome, but he is also top-notch in strength. It's no exaggeration to say that she hit the jackpot!
Hua Rumeng was speechless after her best friend's words. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have believed her best friend's lies!

After taking a few deep breaths, Hua Rumeng shook her head meaningfully and said, "Yingying, your Zhuying should be of marriageable age by now, right? We're both getting on in years!"

"Yes, time waits for no one! But your skin seems more elastic than before." He Ying nodded repeatedly with a serious expression, while in her heart she was thinking about what to do.

My best friend's confident demeanor clearly means I can't hide it anymore. The best course of action now is to find a way to drag her down with me!
Otherwise, if word gets out, what will become of my reputation?
"You're such a chatterbox." Hua Rumeng glared at He Ying reproachfully, but inwardly she felt quite helpless.

He Ying pinched Hua Rumeng's tender flesh and said with a smile, "By the way, Young Master Li has a high level of skill in swordsmanship. This is a rare opportunity for you!"

When Hua Rumeng was young, she was devoted to pursuing the way of the sword. However, the Hua family at that time urgently needed a place to live, which forced her to marry in exchange for a small place.

Years have passed, and although Hua Rumeng joined the Hundred Flowers Sect after giving birth to a child, and eventually became the sect leader, this must still be a regret in her heart.

"Young Master Li is also quite accomplished in swordsmanship?" Hua Rumeng's pretty face was filled with astonishment, but after thinking that Li Chen might be the prodigy of some hidden sect, she quickly understood and finally nodded: "I will definitely ask Young Master Li for guidance when I have the chance."

Hua Rumeng also wanted to see what was so charming about this young master Li that made He Ying so infatuated.

"I'll arrange it. Just wait for my news." He Ying's pretty face lit up with joy when she saw Hua Rumeng agree.

Regardless of Hua Rumeng's intentions in getting close to Li Chen, once she spends some time with him, whether or not she gets on this pirate ship will be out of her control!

He Ying had a deep understanding of the special magic power that Li Chen possessed!

Even now, He Ying still can't understand why her heart, which had been frozen for decades, would beat wildly when she saw Li Chen.

After Hua Rumeng nodded, He Ying immediately jogged towards the courtyard where Li Chen was.

Li Chen, who was drinking tea in the courtyard, saw He Ying return to the courtyard panting and shook his head with a smile: "What's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"

He Ying approached Li Chen with a mysterious expression, and murmured with a mischievous smile, "Sect Leader Hua wishes to learn some sword techniques from Young Master Li. I wonder if Young Master Li would be interested in giving you some pointers?"

Li Chen was slightly taken aback when he heard this. Wasn't the last person to be instructed the He Ying in front of him?
Anyone who has any connection with Dai Xiaoyao will inexplicably learn this trick?
What am I to do?!
