Qu Jingting followed Yushang into the room and put his belongings on another empty bed.

Yushang indicated that he had a habit of taking afternoon naps, allowing Qu Jingting to do as he pleased, and then fell asleep on his own.

After packing up his luggage, Qu Jingting looked at the sleeping Yushang with amusement. He walked silently over, sat by the bedside, and gently caressed Yushang's cheek with his hand. "When did you become so defenseless against me?" he whispered.

The encounter between Yushang and them ten years ago has changed so much. The Yushang from before, I disliked greatly. She was full of feminine charm, but also arrogant and proud, thinking that the world was full of ants. Such a person, full of thorns, only brings bruises and scars to those around her.

The current Yushang... Qu Jingting slowly moved his hand towards the other person's brow, gently tapping it. Ever since he cultivated the Heartless Art, he rarely showed any emotions, but the person in front of him seemed to have become incredibly pure, causing him to lose control of his own emotions.

He and the current Yushang might become what people call friends.

Three hours after lunch.

Upon waking up, Yu Shang saw that Qu Jingting had already tidied everything up. Qu Jingting glanced at Yu Shang's white robes and said, "Brother Yu, why did you change your clothes?"

"Call me Yu Shang. 'Yu Xiong' or anything like that sounds too unpleasant."

"Red is too flashy. After some careful consideration, it's better for someone to keep a low profile."

Qu Jingting paused for a moment. He had never seen the words "low-key" on Yu Shang before.

At this moment, Hong Fu and Lv Yi knocked on the door and entered, saying, "Master, the bathwater is ready."

Yu Shang paused for a moment, indicating that he understood, and then dismissed his two personal bodyguards.

On the side, Qu Jingting looked at Yushang's bitter expression with great interest. "It is said that the leader of the Honglian Sect loves bathing and is extremely particular about it. Milk and flower petals are essential."

Yushang glared at the other person irritably, "It is said that the most beautiful man in the Central Plains also loves bathing very much. Do you want to join me?"

Qu Jingting paused his hand, which was tidying up his sash, and nodded, "Alright."

Yu Shang was rendered speechless. He had originally thought that the other party would vehemently refuse such an unreliable joke from him. Unexpectedly, his esteemed self had brought this upon himself. Why on earth would he suggest such a troublesome proposal and invite trouble for himself? Want to have a mandarin duck bath, anyone? Haha, serves you right for having a big mouth!

Ten minutes later.

Yushang looked at Qu Jingting with some resentment as he took off the cumbersome ancient costume piece by piece. With his bronze skin, six-pack abs, and a well-proportioned figure comparable to a male model, he clearly had the kind of body that looked thin but muscular.

Looking at himself again, his excessively fair skin, without a single ab on his stomach, and even that thing representing male vigor is smaller compared to others! Clearly, he's just a roast chicken. Both are men, both have trained in martial arts, so how did others become Bruce Lee while he became Jackie Chan? When God created Qu Jingting, He must have added a bit of good looks and a bit of a good physique, oh my, He added too much. But when it came to him, He must have added a bit of beauty and a bit of femininity, oh my, He made a mistake with the gender. Damn it!

Qū Jìngtíng stepped into the bathhouse and immediately saw waves of resentment shooting towards him. Ignoring them was out of the question. He said, "What's wrong?"

"You have a great figure," came the voice of the other person resonating softly.

"Thank you."

Yu Shang was speechless. "Damn it, can't you be a little humble? Humility is a traditional virtue of the Chinese people, don't you know that?"

"You should reciprocate with courtesy."

"Your skin is very fair."

Then, Qu Jingting saw Yu Shang give him a displeased glare, her resentful expression appearing quite amusing and adorable. He couldn't help but burst into a light laughter, momentarily losing control.

When Jade Shang saw the other person's gentle smile, her heart trembled fiercely. Damn it, the impact was just too great. No wonder he is known as the number one among the four handsome men of the martial world. Thankfully, he is a man. When he smiled with his peach blossom eyes, the shimmering light was simply too beautiful, and his enchanting voice was incredibly pleasant to the ears. She was about to fall under his spell. In a certain sense, this man was also a demon enchanting others.

As he continued to think, enveloped in the rising steam from the hot water, he unexpectedly fell asleep.

Qu Jingting quickly and deftly grabbed Yu Shang, who was about to slip away, and looked at their drowsy appearance. With a solemn expression, Qu Jingting checked their pulse and then a look of alarm crossed their face.

Yushang, who was already falling asleep, naturally didn't see Qu Jingting's expression. All he thought was, since he and Qu Jingting had now reached a level of taking baths together, they must be friends, right? And by extension, Lian Zi must also be his friend, right? Life was going smoothly, and it couldn't be any better.

Qu Jingting hugged Yu Shang, who had already fallen asleep in his arms. He put on his clothes, walked through the corridor, and headed towards the room.

Hong Fu and Lv Yi demonstrated that even the unfeeling and desireless Senior Brother couldn't resist bowing down under the pomegranate skirt of their Sect Leader, mourning over Tang Gongzi's cuckoldry.

Four disciples from the Heartless Valley expressed that their eyes were going blind. They would not look at any improprieties or listen to any improprieties. They believed that lust was emptiness, and emptiness was lust, a tribute to the chastity that the eldest senior brother had already lost!
