Bai Yu Mo's face momentarily flashed with an unnatural expression, but she quickly regained her composure and softly explained, "I used a very expensive soap, said to be produced in Zhongzhou."

"That explains the faint floral scent on the clothes you send me every time. But honestly, using that soap on my clothes feels a bit wasteful; they’re not made of any precious fabric. Just use regular detergent next time."

Bai Feng nodded, seemingly asking out of casual curiosity, and didn’t press further.

"It’s fine, I bought a lot of bars, so I have plenty to spare."

Bai Yu Mo shook her head, secretly relieved. She hurriedly served the dishes from the pot onto the dining table.

"By the way, isn’t there an important announcement from the sect today?"

Bai Feng savored his breakfast. Although he had reached the Golden Core stage and no longer needed to eat, he had no intention of stopping. He was used to it, and enjoying good food lifted his spirits.

"Yeah, it seems to be related to the Senior Brother."

Bai Yu Mo nodded, continuing to sneakily serve Bai Feng more dishes.

"I suddenly have a bad feeling about this."

Bai Feng instinctively glanced at the system. After the sect competition, the system had notified him several times, all about Lin Yan ruthlessly beating up Ye Tang's subordinates and seizing the opportunity to stuff him with a pile of fortune points.

He had tried to contact Lin Yan, but Lin Yan claimed it was because the other party was looking for trouble, and he had no choice but to retaliate.

At first, he found it hard to believe such absurdity, but considering the other party was the Child of Fortune with a knack for attracting trouble, it wasn’t entirely impossible.

In the end, Bai Feng could only curse Ye Tang in his heart for being unable to manage his underlings.

"Brother..."

Just as Bai Feng was cursing Ye Tang to choke on a pill, Bai Yu Mo suddenly moved her chair closer, her expression a bit hesitant.

"What’s up?"

"Um, I’ve noticed that Sister Yu Yao has been coming to find you often lately. Is there something going on?"

Bai Yu Mo asked with a curious tone, her face showing a hint of confusion.

**Chapter 52: You Might Be a Little Obsessed**

Bai Yu Mo was curious. For the past month, she had been secretly investigating but could only confirm that the two had some dealings involving spirit stones. Occasionally, Bai Feng would bring Sister Yu Yao some items that looked like a few books based on their packaging.

While it seemed like Sister Yu Yao was just asking Bai Feng to help buy some things, the clothes she occasionally pulled out were simply too embarrassing...

"Oh, that!"

Bai Feng was a bit surprised. He remembered that Sister Yu Yao always chose secluded corners to meet him, as most of the clothes she brought out were not suitable for open viewing. He hadn’t expected Bai Yu Mo to notice.

Could it be that she misunderstood something after seeing the clothes in Sister Yu Yao's hands?

After pondering for a few seconds, he simply explained, "It’s because I have some business dealings with Sister Yu Yao. To put it simply, I invested in her clothing line, and when she sells them, I get a share of the profits. After all, studying formations costs a lot!"

Well, investing in risqué clothing is still investing, right?

"Oh..."

Bai Yu Mo nodded. That made sense, but she still felt a bit puzzled—why would Sister Yu Yao take out such clothes?

"Can I take a look next time?"

Faced with Bai Yu Mo's inquiry, Bai Feng suddenly froze—what would you be looking at? Watching Sister Yu Yao go crazy over the risqué designs I drew?

After thinking for a few seconds, Bai Feng decided to pass the buck to Yu Yao. After all, why would she make such clothes instead of proper ones? He didn’t dare to tell Bai Yu Mo about this.

"Why don’t you ask Sister Yu Yao? She’s in charge of this matter; I just handle the profit-sharing. But I guess it should be fine; she’d probably be happy to show you her new designs."

Referring to the all-ages version, of course.

"Okay, I will."

Bai Yu Mo noted the change in Bai Feng’s demeanor. She nodded, realizing that their relationship was not so simple.

Bai Feng didn’t want to continue discussing this matter, quickly shoveling a few bites of food into his mouth. "Alright, it’s about time. Let’s hurry and see what the sect leader and the elders have to announce!"

---

In a spacious square...

"There are so many people."

Bai Feng scanned the area. The square was already filled with disciples, many of whom were gathered in pairs or threes, exchanging rumors they had heard from who knows where.

With the shift in public opinion, he noticed that no one was pointing fingers at him; instead, they greeted him with smiles.

To be honest, it felt a bit strange.

"Junior Brother, Sister Yu Mo, over here!"

Not far away, Yu Yao was on her tiptoes, vigorously waving at Bai Feng and Bai Yu Mo, even jumping up and down occasionally.

With such a commotion, it was hard for Bai Feng to ignore her.

Ignoring the gazes of the surrounding disciples, he quickly walked over to the area where the Qing Zhu Peak disciples were gathered, leaning in to whisper to Yu Yao, "Sister, do you know why the sect has summoned all the disciples this time?"

"I’m not too sure," Yu Yao shook her head. "I only heard it might be related to the secret realm discovered recently. Oh, and it seems the sect leader wants to replace the Senior Brother based on the rankings from the last sect competition. Honestly, I’m not too fond of that guy either. He seems nice, but his tone always comes off as arrogant."

"Mm..."

Bai Feng nodded. If that were true, it would indeed be a good thing. Without the Senior Brother title, it would be harder for this Child of Fortune to target him.

He was just worried that the system would take the opportunity to stuff him with more fortune points.

"Brother..." At that moment, Bai Yu Mo suddenly tugged at his sleeve. "Can I talk to Sister Yu Yao for a moment?"

"Huh?" Bai Feng’s brain momentarily stalled. He looked at Bai Yu Mo in confusion. "You can just talk to her. Why ask me?"

Do you really need to report for such a trivial matter? Are you a child?

"Thank you, Brother."

Bai Yu Mo quickly nodded and then pulled the slightly awkward-looking Yu Yao aside.

At that moment, Yu Yao felt a bit flustered. Could it be that Yu Mo had discovered her dealings with Bai Feng regarding the risqué designs?

Please, not that! At least wait thirty years after I’m dead to bring it up!

Bai Feng, save me!

Not long after Bai Yu Mo dragged Yu Yao away, a figure arrived right on cue beside him.

Bai Feng turned to see Su Lan Qian standing next to him, her head down and silent, like a colorful statue.

So, he took a step to the side, and Su Lan Qian followed suit, perfectly mimicking a little tail trailing behind him.

Aside from moving, she was just like she was in class.

To be honest, it was quite strange! He couldn’t understand Su Lan Qian’s thought process at all.

He even began to suspect that he hadn’t rescued Su Lan Qian; instead, she had turned into a vengeful spirit after her death and was now haunting him.

"Ahem!"

Bai Feng cleared his throat, and only then did Su Lan Qian slightly lift her head.

"You don’t have to mind me. Just treat me like weeds or air."

"…"

How could I not mind with such a big person standing next to me?

If I weren’t already at the Golden Core stage, would you follow me to the bathroom too?

Bai Feng took a deep breath. He felt he couldn’t let this continue; he needed to make some changes!

"I say, you’re not a disciple of the Tian Jian Sect, are you? What are you doing here?"

"…I can only calm my heart when I’m next to you," Su Lan Qian said softly, averting her gaze. Then, as if afraid Bai Feng would misunderstand, she quickly added, "It’s because of my heart demon. I don’t know why, but when I’m near you, my heart demon doesn’t appear."

Bai Feng was a bit surprised. He had never heard of such a thing. Could it be that he had a special constitution that blocked heart demons?

As he pondered, he suddenly recalled the scene in the illusion where he had crushed the heart demon. Could it be that this little heart demon was too scared to show up around him?

Ha, it seems Su Lan Qian’s heart demon is just as mouthy as she is!

"But you can’t just keep following me, right?" Bai Feng looked at Su Lan Qian, stroking his chin. "We’ll eventually part ways."

"Mm… if I had something of yours to keep close," Su Lan Qian lowered her head even further, a blush creeping onto her face. "I… I can buy it. Anything that’s yours will do, even clothes!"

Bai Feng: "…"

You might be a little obsessed!

Though it sounded a bit creepy, he understood that she was just trying to reduce the influence of her heart demon.

"Clothes are out of the question," Bai Feng waved his hand. "But we can negotiate about other things. However, instead of money, I’d prefer some strange and unusual formation plates. The weirder, the better!"

Recently, he had been dismantling formations, and during this process, he discovered that many seemingly useless or nonsensical formations could be broken down into more interesting functions.
