Where did the tattered cloth come from?

Yi Feng retrieved a package and tossed it towards Ao Qing. The wolf dashed over eagerly, though his attention seemed focused more on how to communicate yesterday's events to Yi Feng.

Observing Ao Qing's lack of interest in the food, Yi Feng initially felt surprised but swiftly deduced the reason.

Near the entrance lay a snow-white bone, unmistakably pilfered by the wolf, its meat thoroughly gnawed clean. Additionally, Yi Feng noticed a piece of fabric strewn across the main hall floor, likely brought back by Ao Qing from some unknown place.

Yi Feng sighed inwardly, choosing not to scold the wolf. Having raised a Husky in his past life, he recognized such behavior as relatively benign. Since Ao Qing hadn't caused any significant damage to the premises, Yi Feng deemed him obedient enough.

"Alright, dispose of this bone," Yi Feng directed Ao Qing with a wave of his hand.

Ao Qing appeared somewhat bewildered. Yi Feng's nonchalant demeanor towards the bone surprised him. Wasn't he supposed to react to yesterday's incident, considering Ao Qing had returned with it?

Could it be that Yi Feng was already aware of the previous day's events?

Contemplating this, Ao Qing regarded Yi Feng with a probing gaze. The more he interacted with him, the more enigmatic Yi Feng became.

Recalling the events from yesterday, Ao Qing pondered if they were orchestrated by someone intentionally.

He couldn't forget Yi Feng's instructions before departing. The notion sent a shiver down his spine. If true, it implied that Yi Feng was testing him.

Fearing the consequences of disobedience, Ao Qing swiftly grasped the bone in his mouth, ready to dispose of it.

Observing the wolf's compliance, Yi Feng nodded in approval. He retrieved the piece of cloth from the ground and called out to Zhong Qing, "Apprentice, it's been a while since the house was cleaned. Use this cloth to wipe down every corner of the house. Don't overlook the pillars and plaques outside the entrance."

"Yes, Master," Zhong Qing acknowledged respectfully.

Simultaneously, a graceful figure descended at the martial arts hall's entrance, quietly taking in the scene before her eyes.
