Seeing the young girl’s sorrowful expression, Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but smile and say, “It’s not true at all…”

“What happened to you last night, then?”

Qing Shiyu pressed on with her questioning.

“Last night… there was a problem during my cultivation. When I was trying to condense the fourth Yuanfu, something went wrong…”

Not far away, Wang Xueqi, Qing Chengtian, and Xiao Yuan simply watched the two converse. Last night had truly terrified the three of them. What had happened to Ye Wushuang was definitely not just a simple mishap in cultivation. But when they asked about it, Ye Wushuang only said that everything was fine now and didn’t explain further.

At this moment, Qing Shiyu suddenly leaned closer to Ye Wushuang and whispered, “Tell me the truth!”

The truth?

Ye Wushuang looked at Qing Shiyu with a puzzled expression.

Qing Shiyu spoke in a low, serious tone, “Did some great power try to possess you? Maybe the possession attempt failed and you suppressed it, but now, while you’re weak, the great power is striking back and trying to possess you again?”

Ye Wushuang laughed heartily, then couldn’t help but flick Qing Shiyu’s forehead with her finger, saying, “Where did you get all these strange ideas from? What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I’m not talking nonsense,” Qing Shiyu insisted earnestly. “Didn’t you fail to make progress in cultivation for three years in Liuyue City? But in less than a year, you’ve surpassed others who have cultivated for seven or eight years. That’s very suspicious!”

Before Ye Wushuang could say anything, another figure arrived from outside the courtyard.

“Ye Wushuang!”

A voice called out anxiously.

At the courtyard gate, two graceful figures approached together. It was Mu Qiqi and Qing Shihua.

Mu Qiqi quickly walked up to Ye Wushuang and asked, “How… how are you?”

“I’m fine now…”

Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but smile and say, “My cultivation went wrong, and yet I have the honor of being visited by the three golden flowers of the empire. I’m truly flattered.”

Qing Shihua.

Qing Shiyu.

Mu Qiqi.

These three were known as the Three Golden Flowers of the Qingyun Empire, renowned throughout the entire realm. All three were in the prime of their youth, not yet fully blossoming into their full beauty, but already showing great promise and leaving a lasting impression.

Now, gathered together, they truly made a delightful sight.

“You still have the heart to joke around!”

Qing Shihua couldn’t help but smile bitterly and say, “Do you know that everyone in the academy, in the capital, and on every street corner is talking about you, saying that you’re about to die!”

Ye Wushuang helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said, “It seems many people want me to die, but unfortunately, I won’t be obliging them…”

“Are you really okay?” Mu Qiqi asked again.

“Don’t worry, I won’t die just yet.”

Ye Wushuang knew that Mu Qiqi’s concern for his well-being was largely because he could save her father, Mu Junli. As for Qing Shihua… she seemed more like a proper imperial princess, observing his actions and occasionally offering advice or her personal opinions.

As for Qing Shiyu… he could sense that she genuinely cared about him and was truly worried for his sake. Among the three, Qing Shiyu was the most sincere.

Mu Qiqi continued, “I’m sorry… my father, being one of the ten great protectors of the Jujian Sect, is currently busy with the preparations for the Hundred Nations Martial Contest and is not in the Qingyun Empire…”

“Hmm.”

After the three women had finished their inquiries and chatted for a while, Mu Qiqi and Qing Shihua left behind many medicinal herbs and spiritual pills to help restore his vital energy, on behalf of Princess Qing Mengli and Emperor Qing Muyuan, before taking their leave.

Only then did Qing Chengtian, Wang Xueqi, and Xiao Yuan walk over.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Falling ill and attracting the attention of all three golden flowers at once. Ye Wushuang, if the other young geniuses of the empire knew about this, they’d be envious to death,” Qing Chengtian teased.

“I think you’re the one who’s envious!” Wang Xueqi couldn’t help but look at Qing Chengtian.

“Ahem, ahem…” Xiao Yuan spoke up. “Are you really okay?”
