Looking at the man sitting upright in the living room, Qing Qing suddenly thought of Du Fu's poem, "As bright as a jade before the wind." He was dressed in a loose white brocade robe, his hair was tied up in a white jade crown, and a relaxed smile hung on his carved face. A modest gentleman, gentle as jade, could do nothing more than that. Presumably, this young master was the eldest senior brother that Gu Feng had talked about, the one who travelled with Master Dongfang all year round.

"Junior brother, it's been so many years. How have you been?" After he finished speaking, he threw the teacup in the direction of Gu Feng.

Gu Feng didn't move. He raised his hand and easily caught the teacup that contained strong inner strength.

"Senior Brother, your strength has decreased."

"You've become stronger." Gu Feng declined to comment. Senior Brother's martial arts were taught personally by Master. His martial arts had long since become unfathomable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to teach him and his junior so well.

"I'm starving, do you have anything to eat?" Master Dongfang completely ignored the two ladies' interaction as he sat down on a chair and slammed the table, waiting for dinner to start.

Dongfang Shize looked at his impatient master and helplessly threatened, "Master, it's almost done. I've already told Peony to make the Red Braised Meat you love, but you can't eat too much later. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat anything from now on."

Dongfang Xi glared at Dongfang Shize, but his food was under his care. He believed that Shize would definitely be able to cut down on his food, so he had no choice but to compromise.

This day, Qing Qing chatted happily with Master Dongfang and Dongfang Shize. They told her many interesting stories about their travels. Qing Qing yearned to hear this, and envied them for their carefree lives.

Suddenly, Qing Qing thought of herself. She remembered that she was a person who had lost her memories. She wondered if she would regret this journey to find them after she recovered her memories. But now, she felt that life without memories was incomplete. Whether it was happiness or sadness, her past was still her memories.

As she thought of this, Qingqing's mind began to wander, and her eyes began to darken.

The two storytellers looked at the downcast Qing Qing and were stupefied. They did not know if they had said something wrong. They hurriedly used their gazes to ask Gu Feng, who was beside them, for help.

Gu Feng didn't know what to do, but this was his wife. He had a responsibility to understand what was going on with Ruan Qing.

"My wife, Master and the others are tired as well. Let's go back to our rooms and let them rest as soon as possible."

Just like that, Qing Qing was pulled back into their room in a daze by Gu Feng.

Closing the door, Gu Feng touched his forehead with concern. After confirming that Qing Qing wasn't sick, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"My wife, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine, I'm just a little homesick." Qing Qing had come back to her senses by this time, and had come up with a reasonable excuse.

"Tomorrow is the day of returning to peace. We will stay at the home of Father-in-law for a while longer." "Don't worry, I will treat you well." Gu Feng didn't know if what Qing Qing said was true or not, but in his opinion, his wife missed home and still didn't have a sense of belonging towards him, so he earnestly promised.

'Ding … target's affability level increased by 8, current affability level is 40. '…

"Husband, I trust you. And thank you." After he finished speaking, he smiled lightly at Gu Feng and broke free from Gu Feng's embrace, then he naturally spread out the quilt at the foot of the bed before swiftly climbing into it.

Qing Qing didn't expect that the misunderstanding that happened between them would give her an unexpected reward. She knew that she couldn't let her emotions interfere with the quest again. She told herself that this would be the last time. She couldn't let this delay her mission.

Seeing the series of movements, Gu Feng knew that his emotions were no longer downcast. He thought that his words had worked, and the heavy burden in his heart finally dropped.
