Shen Qianxue and Zhou Ji glared at each other, neither willing to back down.

The atmosphere gradually became tense.

Su Jin blinked at the two of them and carefully chose her words, "Um... it's nothing serious, let's talk properly."

Su Hu snorted coldly, "Some people are truly despicable!"

Shen Qianxue smiled lightly, "His heart is despicable? Only you think so."

Su Hu tightened his grip on the sword, and the chill between Shen Qianxue's brows intensified.

Su Jin scratched her head. When did their relationship become so bad? Had she missed something?

Just when war was about to break out, a savior appeared.

The nun and Fengmian walked slowly over.

"What's wrong?" the nun asked softly upon hearing the news.

Although Su Hu disliked Shen Qianxue, he did not take his anger out on the nun. On the contrary, he treated her with great respect. He instantly put away his fierce aura and bowed slightly to the nun.

Shen Qianxue remained indifferent, but glanced at Feng Mian a few more times.

Su Jin hurriedly explained, "I tripped and fell, and Qianxue helped me up. Tiger Brother misunderstood. Um... Zizi saw it, Zizi can testify!"

Su Jin quickly thought of a plan and waved to Mai Zizi, who was watching the commotion from a distance.

Mai Zizi naturally sided with Shen Qianxue and hurriedly ran over to say, "That's right, that's how it is. We were chasing each other while playing and accidentally fell. It's all our fault, Brother Su Hu, don't be angry."

Su Jin silently gave Mai Zizi a thumbs up from behind.

Su Hu's expression was not good, because he didn't want to see Shen Qianxue here at all, but he couldn't show his anger in front of the two elders.

Su Jin glanced at Shen Qianxue, then at the nun and Feng Mian, her eyes suddenly brightening. She spoke up to ease the situation, "It's rare for everyone to be here together, let's have a meal together."

No one spoke...

Su Jin grinned and had no choice but to ask them one by one, "Zizi, what do you think?"

Mai Zizi nodded eagerly, "Great! That's wonderful!"

Su Jin nudged Su Hu next to her again, "Brother Hu?"

Seeing Su Jin's eyes bulging as she blinked, Su Hu couldn't possibly disagree. "Of course I'll listen to A-Jin."

Su Jin then turned her gaze to Feng Mian, since he didn't come here often or eat here often. "Uncle Feng, why don't you stay too? You've been working so hard on the antidote for so long, and I haven't had a chance to properly thank you yet."

Feng Mian glanced sideways at Abbess Wangchen, whose head was slightly lowered and whose profile was gentle, and seemed to be deep in thought.

He nodded to Su Jinxia, ​​"Okay!"

"That's great!" Su Jin clapped her hands happily, winked at Mai Zizi, then ran to the nun's side, took her arm, and said affectionately, "Nun, let's go to the kitchen and see what we can make for everyone?"

The nun gently held Su Jinxia's small hand, understanding Su Jinxia's intentions clearly and feeling grateful for her thoughtfulness.

The nun nodded slightly, glanced at Shen Qianxue, and followed Su Jin downstairs.

Meanwhile, Mai Zizi ran up to Shen Qianxue and exclaimed, "Brother Qianxue, I've been eating medicinal meals and plain vegetables with Su Jinxia all day long. I'm sick of it. You can't stand idly by. We have to share the burden."

Shen Qianxue had no intention of making things difficult for him. He glanced at Su Hu lightly and then followed Mai Zizi to catch up with Su Jinxia and the nun.

Soon, everyone sat down around the round table.

The nun and Fengmian took their seats first. Mai Zizi, being very perceptive, pulled Shen Qianxue to sit next to the nun, while Su Jinxia and Su Hu sat on Fengmian's side.

The atmosphere remained awkward as no one spoke. Su Jinxia nudged Mai Zizi, who twisted her body, pushed Su Jinxia's hand back, and gestured to Su Jinxia with her eyes that she couldn't liven up the atmosphere either.

Su Jin closed her eyes, took a breath, and then gave a standard smile, "Everyone, please eat quickly, Master, Uncle Feng..."

The nun and Uncle Feng were quite accommodating and started eating.

The others also picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

However, still no one spoke...

Su Jin was inwardly groaning; she regretted having orchestrated this situation.

Su Jinxia's original intention was simply to help Shen Qianxue integrate into the group, especially to ease the relationship between Shen Qianxue and Abbess Wangchen. However, Shen Qianxue successfully froze the entire space with her own power.

Suddenly, Feng Mian, who had been keeping quiet all along, spoke up, "I've always known that the nun has a very outstanding son. Seeing him today, his demeanor and bearing are indeed extraordinary."

Everyone's eyes turned to Feng Mian and Shen Qianxue.

People may not know the details of what happened between Shen Qianxue and the nun, but they can sense that something is going on. Moreover, the two have always been distant and have never even addressed each other as mother and son. Their relationship is so cold that it makes people doubt the authenticity of their mother-son relationship.

Feng Mian, however, used a single sentence to clarify the relationship between Shen Qianxue and the nun, making everyone hold their breath.

Su Jinxia was especially afraid that Shen Qianxue would simply overturn the table and leave.

Of course, Su Jin was overthinking it. Shen Qianxue was a very classy person and naturally wouldn't storm off. However, Shen Qianxue used an even more egregious method to express her protest: silence.

Shen Qianxue ate her food calmly, her expression distant, showing no extra emotion whatsoever, as if the son Feng Mian mentioned was not him.

Cutting flesh with a dull knife is the real pain!

The nun's expression changed instantly, becoming extremely embarrassed.

The nun was actually a very insightful person. She knew what she wanted and that she could not salvage her relationship with Shen Qianxue. So she didn't ask for too much. But even the most open-minded person couldn't bear the cold stares and indifference from her own son!

Su Jin felt a little sad.

Su Hu looked at Shen Qianxue with a sarcastic smile. Everyone could see how gentle and well-mannered the nun was, so it was clearly Shen Qianxue who was being unreasonable and going too far.

Feng Mian did not show any dissatisfaction. He continued, "It's just a pity that her personality is not like that of the nun; she is too sharp and outspoken."

If the previous sentence was praise, then this sentence is criticism.

Shen Qianxue lifted her eyelids and suddenly spoke up: "You know the nun very well?"

Shen Qianxue's words were quite sharp from the start.

Feng Mian never expected that Shen Qianxue would not only fail to address her own problem, but would also ask a question in return, and such a sensitive one at that.

Feng Mian's expression changed, showing some displeasure and resentment. "You think you're so powerful and smug right now? I'd like to ask you, do you even know anything about the nun? You only know about the injuries you've suffered, but do you know about the injuries the nun has endured?"

“You’re an adult now, not a child anymore. You should understand that the nun did nothing wrong. She just wanted to escape her cage. What did she do wrong? She did nothing wrong to you! It’s your Shen family that wronged her. You ruined her life!”

Feng Mian's emotions gradually intensified, and her words became somewhat harsh.

He was truly speaking out for the nun!

Fangfei was a favored daughter of heaven, a world-renowned physician at a young age. She should have been famous throughout the world, saving lives and becoming a person praised and respected by everyone.
