Not only him, even Xiao San and Murong Shan who were cleaning the latrine heard the commotion, and immediately threw down the things in their hands and rushed to the Pure Wind House.

The three of them rushed to the Clearwind Courtyard at the same time. When they saw the guards outside the courtyard being harassed by the densely-packed insect and rat ants until they jumped up and down, crying for their parents, they were stunned.

When Murong Shan regained his senses, he felt his scalp tingling.

She had never seen such a large number of snakes, worms, mice, and ants gathering together. This scene was extremely terrifying.

Murong Shan was about to go over and ask Xiao Jingyue what was going on when he saw Xiao Jingyue walking into the courtyard.

Seeing this, she almost immediately followed without thinking.

Xiao San, who came with Murong Shan, vaguely guessed that it was due to the sound of the flute. Seeing that his master and Murong Shan had gone in, he could not help but follow.

The three of them walked into the house together, and immediately saw Qu Ling, who was sitting next to the brazier.

Xiao Er who was hiding by the door and Aunt Tao who had heard the commotion after came in walked out and greeted Xiao Jingyue: "Master (General)."

Coincidentally, after playing the tune, Qu Ling put down the flute, his face was full of confusion as he looked at the people blocking the door, "What's wrong?"

Why did one or two of them block her door? Help her block the wind?

Xiao Jingyue walked to Qu Ling and squatted in front of her. With a smile on his face, he asked: "Is Madam practicing insect control?"

Qu Ling shook his head, at a loss, "No, I'm just randomly blowing it."

Because of the matter of Qiu Zhu and Li Ning'er, she felt a little depressed, so she casually played her flute, not thinking about anything else.

Qu Ling's gaze passed through Xiao Jingyue and looked at the few people who had different expressions on their faces. Just as he was about to ask them what was wrong.

Suddenly, she heard a scream from outside the courtyard. Her heart skipped a beat as she asked, "What happened outside?"

The few people standing at the door looked at Qu Ling with complicated expressions, but no one answered her.

Xiao Jingyue saw that Qu Ling's expression did not seem to be fake, as though he really did not use his insect control techniques, he muttered to himself for a moment, and said gently: "It's nothing."

When the Xiao Er heard this, he silently left to deal with the insects and the guards who were jumping up and down.

The room quieted down, and in a split-second, one could only hear the occasional crackling and popping sound of the fire.

Murong Shan looked at the two people who were sitting shoulder to shoulder in front of the fire with a bitter look in his eyes, and his hand that was hanging by his side tightened.

After being silent for a moment, he took a deep breath and looked at Qu Ling with his sharp eyes, "Did you attract all the insects from outside?"

Xiao Jingyue's expression suddenly darkened, as he coldly looked at Murong Shan.

Murong Shan was slightly shocked in his heart. He hurriedly lowered his head and uncontrollably took two steps back.

"What insect, rat, ant?" Qu Ling looked at Murong Shan, confused.

Murong Shan looked away and did not reply.

Qu Ling squinted his eyes and sized her up for a moment. Suddenly, he heard the blood-curdling screams from outside the courtyard.

"It's cold outside, go somewhere else." Xiao Jingyue grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

Qu Ling lowered his head, facing Xiao Jingyue's calm gaze, his originally restless heart calmed down as well.

She didn't insist on taking a look outside and softly said, "It wasn't me. I really didn't invite any insect or rat over."

She did play the flute, but rarely because she was lazy...

She had only taken a glance at the score and mental cultivation method her grandma had left her, but she had completely forgotten what was written inside.

That song just now, she had heard it from the outside and relied on her memories to randomly blow on it.

She didn't have a deep understanding of insect control and didn't have any internal energy, so how could she use the flute sound to attract those insects?

Xiao Jingyue did not speak, and calmly glanced at Xiao San.

Xiao San understood and pulled Murong Shan's sleeve, pulling her out without any explanation.

Seeing this, the silent Aunt Tao followed him out.

Xiao Jingyue pulled Qu Ling back to the side and sat him down, then said gently: "To practice insect control, one must first cultivate an inner force cultivation method. You have no inner force, so your husband knows that it's not you."

Although he said that, Xiao Jingyue knew in his heart that those Snake, Insect and Rat Ants were indeed lured over by Qu Ling's flute music.

To be able to gather so many of them together in such a short period of time, he couldn't do it without using his insect control skills.

But Qu Ling did not know about the Insect Control skill's inner force cultivation method, and was a person without any inner strength, which was the strangeness of it.

Xiao Jingyue paused for a moment, then extended his hand out towards Qu Ling: "Flute."

Qu Ling did not understand what he was trying to do, but he still handed the flute over.

Xiao Jingyue accepted it, and carefully sized it up. After pondering for a bit, he placed the flute by his lips and blew it slowly.

Xiao Er and the rest who were standing outside the courtyard had finally gotten rid of the scary looking things. When they heard the flute sound again, the hairs all over their bodies stood up, as if they were facing a great enemy. They focused all of their attention on their surroundings movements, preparing themselves to defend against the things once again.

But this time, after waiting for a long time, those things didn't come back. Other than the sound of the flute, there were no other strange sounds.

Until the end of the flute melody, both the inside and outside of the courtyard were quiet.

Only then did Xiao Er and the rest heave a sigh of relief, and they all raised their hands to wipe the sweat off their foreheads.

Inside the house, Xiao Jingyue calmly put down the flute, his gaze quietly sweeping the room.

There was no sound coming from outside. It was likely that none of the insects had been attracted.

In other words, it wasn't Tick's problem.

The tune he played was the same as the one Qu Ling played, so it was not the problem with the tune.

The result was self-evident, and was Qu Ling's real problem.

However, perhaps it was because she did not have a mental cultivation method, nor any internal force, so she had to gather these ordinary worm-like snakes and ants, and she was still unable to drive the Gu Worm in his body.

Xiao Jingyue looked at Qu Ling who was deep in thought, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he raised his eyebrows and asked: "Does Madam think that your husband is good at bragging?"

Qu Ling regained his senses, clapped his hands and laughed: "It's pretty good, you're just a little weaker than me right?"

Seeing her complacent look, Xiao Jingyue shook his head and laughed.

He handed the flute back to her and asked softly, "Does Madame wish to practice inner force cultivation methods?"

Qu Ling's eyes lit up, "You want to teach me?"

Initially, she wanted Murong Yan to teach her, but when she remembered that Murong Yan had learnt a martial art passed down to her family, she was afraid that she could not teach it to outsiders, so she did not even mention it.

After that, he wanted Xiao Jingyue to teach him, but seeing that he was busy, he guessed that Xiao Jingyue would not have the time to teach him, so he did not say anything.

She didn't want to learn from others, so she had been worrying about what to do for the past few days. She didn't think that Xiao Jingyue would actually bring this up on his own accord, allowing her to climb up the stairs.

Xiao Jingyue gently nodded, and laughed: "Mn, I will teach you."

Ordinary men would mostly practice pure Yang mental cultivation methods, such as Xiao Yi, Xiao Er, and the others, or Murong Yan.

However, because the Gu Worm in his body was a Yin object, in order to not provoke the Gu Worm, he trained in the Supreme Yin Heart Method.

The Insect Controlling Art also belonged to the Supreme Yin Heart Technique.

So he could have taught her.

Qu Ling was a little happy, and asked casually: "Is there any method to quickly learn profound inner force skills?"

After all, if she didn't have to suffer, she didn't want to suffer.

After all, she was such a delicate girl.

Xiao Jingyue smiled meaningfully, "I do."

"What method?"

"Duo Cultivation."

"…"

You shameless pervert!

General Xiao was extremely interested in this. Seeing that the Madam did not say anything, he did not give up and asked: "Does Madam want to try?"

Mrs. Xiao rejected his suggestion expressionlessly: "I don't want to try at all!"
