He Xiuyuan bowed to his surroundings, asking questions, while also quietly dispersing his Spiritual Qi into the Hall of Hundred Flowers.
This way, if Baihua Fairy was nearby, she would definitely sense this Spiritual Qi and meet him.
He Xiuyuan hadn't expected her to show herself.
It was just that after he did this, if Baihua Fairy saw it, she would definitely come to meet him in private.
If she didn't come even after this, then either Baihua Fairy wasn't here, or she didn't want to see him.
Whichever it was, He Xiuyuan could leave.
As He Xiuyuan's voice rang out, the surrounding crowd was stunned, some covering their mouths to snicker, others marveling at He Xiuyuan's boldness.
However, after He Xiuyuan's voice faded for a long while, there was no movement from the surroundings.
Just as everyone was shaking their heads, thinking there was no Baihua Fairy here, under the moonlight, one by one, the fresh flowers slowly opened their buds, their tender petals gently swaying on their branches.
In just an instant, all the flowers bloomed, and the entire garden instantly became a sea of flowers.
Flowers of various colors gathered at this moment, a breathtaking sight.
The crowd, who had been whispering, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon seeing this scene.
"The flowers have bloomed! So beautiful!"
"Hahaha, Young Master He, what a skill! Although you didn't summon Baihua Fairy, you managed to make these hundred flowers bloom. Your skill is even greater than Empress Wu's back then!"
Wu Fangyu stood up upon seeing this, then burst into laughter.
His words were more of a jest, not truly believing that He Xiuyuan had actually made the hundred flowers bloom.
After all, it was already the day for the flowers to bloom; He Xiuyuan's shout was probably just a coincidence.
He Xiuyuan smiled upon hearing this, his gaze falling upon the sea of flowers before him, a look of astonishment in his eyes.
It had to be said, the flowers were indeed very beautiful after they bloomed.
Especially now, under the full moon, such a sea of flowers.
However, after He Xiuyuan scanned the garden with his gaze, he didn't feel any unusual movement around him.
It seemed there was no Baihua Fairy nearby, or perhaps Baihua Fairy's Dao was too profound for He Xiuyuan to sense.
After some thought, He Xiuyuan waited for a moment, then stood up, preparing to leave.
Wu Fangyu quickly stood up upon seeing this.
"Brother He, are you returning to the inn?"
"I haven't waited for Baihua Fairy, and I've seen the flowers, so it's time to leave."
He Xiuyuan nodded, bid farewell, and then turned to leave.
Wu Fangyu watched He Xiuyuan leave without stopping him, then turned to look at the garden full of fresh flowers, his face filled with joy.
He was almost ready to leave, thinking he wouldn't see the flowers bloom, but he hadn't expected to see them after all.
Beside him, the great painter Du Linhui was also quickly sketching, wanting to preserve this scene on paper.
However, while Du Linhui and others were admiring the beautiful scenery before them, they didn't notice.
Among these flower bushes, some flowers bloomed at an inappropriate time.
For example, summer chrysanthemums and late chrysanthemums, they weren't supposed to bloom in this season, but they had bloomed now.
These flowers, which shouldn't have bloomed in this season, had all bloomed now, mixed among the myriad flowers, making it difficult for people to notice them at first glance.
After an hour had passed like this, a gentle breeze suddenly blew past.
Then, in the garden where no one noticed, a woman stood amidst the flowers, her beautiful eyes scanning the garden.
"Strange... shouldn't it be another day until these flowers bloom? Why did they bloom tonight? Could it be that I miscalculated?"
The woman's beautiful eyes were like a painting, and as she murmured softly, her gaze swept across the garden.
But soon, she shook her head and stopped thinking about it; for her, it was good that the flowers had bloomed!
It was just that these Mortals nearby were a bit of an eyesore.
A few days ago, she had been waiting here for the Hall of Hundred Flowers to bloom; once the flowers bloomed, she could Cultivate with the help of these hundred flowers.
It was just that these Mortals staying nearby made her feel annoyed, so she had left for a few days.
And it was after she left that the flowers bloomed tonight.
Fortunately, she had some Dao in her, and after the flowers bloomed, she felt something in her heart and immediately flew back.
By her calculation, she had made it in time.
The woman's gaze fell on the Mortals nearby. After waiting for a moment, seeing that these people still weren't preparing to leave, she instantly felt a bit impatient.
If these Mortals stayed any longer, it would probably be dawn, and then it wouldn't be convenient for her to Cultivate.
Thinking of this, she immediately waved her hand slightly, and a cold wind immediately blew around, sweeping over everyone present.
Feeling the biting cold wind, everyone reluctantly stood up and returned.
"Let's call it a night here. The flowers won't fly away; we can come back to see them tomorrow."
The group of people said, getting up and leaving.
Du Linhui had already drawn several paintings by this point, and he was extremely satisfied with the paintings he had completed.
Listening to this, he put away his things, picked a late chrysanthemum, placed it in a painting, and said,
"Speaking of which, Mr. He just now was truly interesting. He said he wanted to see Baihua Fairy, but he didn't see Baihua Fairy, yet the flowers were made to bloom by him. It's truly very interesting."
"Indeed. If the innkeepers of that restaurant knew about this, they'd probably concoct another story."
Wu Fangyu also burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Everyone talked as they all got up and left the Hall of Hundred Flowers.
They had already seen the flowers bloom, and they were satisfied.
A moment later, not a single person was left in the Hall of Hundred Flowers.
Baihua Fairy nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.
As for what Wu Fangyu and the others had said, she had heard it, but she merely listened briefly and then paid no further attention.
Over the years, countless people had wanted to see her, so why would she meet them?
If she hadn't accidentally been seen by a few Mortals while Cultivating before, these things wouldn't have happened.
In the future, she would need to be more careful, so as not to be seen again.
However, the number of times she could Cultivate here was probably not many; the effect of her Cultivation in recent years had been getting worse each time.
Baihua Fairy secretly sighed in her heart, then sat cross-legged among the flowers. As her slender hands danced, flower petals flew all around.
Then, streams of essence Qi were extracted from the hundred flowers, then poured into her body.
"Hmm..."
As these essence Qi entered her body, an unprecedented feeling directly impacted her mind.
At this moment, Baihua Fairy couldn't help but let out a muffled groan subconsciously.
