Although Prince Ling's mansion had many flowers in its backyard, they all bloomed during the day.
Chu Qianli knew a place where flowers would surely be in bloom at night.
She had passed by it when she followed Feng Yexuan out of the city today, but she hadn't had the chance to go down and take a look then.
"Master Guoshi, how is your Qinggong?" she asked, walking ahead.
The man in white behind her moved without a sound. To put it bluntly, he was like a phantom in the dead of night.
"That depends on you," his voice was as ethereal as ever.
Chu Qianli took a deep breath, ignored him, and began to sprint through the night.
In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, she was far from the bustling streets of the prince's mansion and the buildings.
After another incense stick burned, she stopped at the foot of the mountain.
Turning back, she wanted to see where Lan Qing had reached, but the moment she turned, her vision was filled with white.
He had been following her, regardless of speed, like her shadow.
The Guoshi's Qinggong was also incredibly formidable.
"What's here?" Lan Qing furrowed his brow, looking at the cliff ahead. He felt no satisfaction, not even a hint of pleasure.
"Follow me." Chu Qianli took another deep breath and leaped up.
This time, she moved upwards along the cliff face.
Thanks to the teachings of Uncle Jiu back then, she could now ascend cliffs with ease and speed.
In the blink of an eye, she stopped on the sheer cliff face.
On a rock.
Turning back this time, the white figure was still there. However, Lan Qing subconsciously took half a step back, moving away from her.
But he had nowhere else to retreat, so even though he didn't want to be close, he couldn't get too far away.
"What's here?" It was the same question, but this time, it seemed even more indifferent.
He was likely growing impatient.
Chu Qianli quickly realized that he seemed to lack a sense of emotions.
When he was impatient, you couldn't discern his expression, but he might be calm one moment and leave the next.
This time, Chu Qianli understood. He truly wanted to leave.
It was because nothing before him could capture his interest.
"Master Guoshi, look at these flower buds." She pointed to the few buds not far away.
Lan Qing glanced at them indifferently, with no interest whatsoever.
He wouldn't eat buds that hadn't bloomed.
"Do you want to eat them?"
"No."
"But they will bloom into very, very beautiful flowers."
Chu Qianli dared to bet that Lan Qing had never seen this flower bloom.
It was said that the Guoshi had always lived in the Lingjiu Hall and rarely had the opportunity to leave.
This time, Chu Qianli didn't know why he had left, but his departure immediately caused chaos in the palace.
This was enough to prove that he had truly never left privately before.
"Master Guoshi, when it blooms, it will be truly beautiful."
But Lan Qing had no interest.
Waiting was not fun at all.
"How about I show you what it looks like when it blooms? You wanted to see my world, didn't you? I'll let you see things from my world."
To pique Lan Qing's interest, Chu Qianli had tried every possible means.
She took out her phone from the Qiankun Chain, only to realize that it couldn't connect to the internet.
She immediately left a message for her senior brother: "Send me a video of the Epiphyllum blooming, it's urgent!"
But now, it was the middle of the night. Although her senior brother always slept late, it was too late at this hour.
Her senior brother might not be online.
The crucial point was that Lan Qing had lost all patience and was turning to leave!
