Chapter 612 Xiao Tang looked at him with disappointment and frustration.

The man had a clean, refreshing scent.

Yan Ruyu recognized the white robe; it belonged to Gu Hanxin.

She rubbed her forehead and took two steps back to her feet, looking at Gu Hanxin with a puzzled expression.

In the middle of the night, a chilling figure suddenly appeared at her door. Wouldn't you say that was terrifying?

She asked, utterly bewildered, "Senior Brother? What are you doing here? Is something the matter?"

Under the moonlight, the man's features were exquisite, and he was quite frank.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and finally, feigning composure, he slipped a sachet into her hand.

"This is for you."

"ah?"

Yan Ruyu lowered her head to examine the sachet in her hand, and was immediately shocked.

This is an amulet for warding off evil spirits, containing talismans.

"The talismans inside were drawn by the Empress and can suppress those strange soul-capturing spells."

Upon hearing his explanation, Yan Ruyu was immediately overjoyed and almost cried with emotion.

She looked at Gu Hanxin with great anticipation and exclaimed, "Thank you so much, Senior Brother! I never expected you to be such a kind person, coming to deliver this sachet to me so late at night."

Gu Hanxin: "..."

He didn't really want to be the "good guy" this woman was talking about, but seeing her self-satisfied expression, he felt compelled to continue playing the role.

Just as Gu Hanxin was about to say something, she saw Gu Hanxin carefully tuck the sachet into her clothes.

This gesture inexplicably warmed the man's heart.

Upon seeing this scene, Gu Hanxin immediately felt happy.

He smiled slightly, "Take good care of it, don't lose it. You should be able to get a good night's sleep tonight."

Yan Ruyu nodded.

Thank you.

Gu Hanxin didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Yan Ruyu patted her chest, finally feeling relieved, and ran back to bed to sleep.

She should have been able to fall asleep peacefully, but for some reason, when she thought about the man who had personally delivered the sachet to her under the moonlight, she felt a little... embarrassed.

Logically speaking, Gu Hanxin didn't really need to do this, did he?

Yan Ruyu shook her head, realizing that she was probably just worrying unnecessarily.

Just perhaps someone who was out for a walk late at night and couldn't sleep, happened to come by while the Empress was making talismans to ward off soul-capturing spells, and brought them over as a side trip.

right!

That must be it!

After convincing herself, Yan Ruyu was able to fall asleep peacefully.

As for Gu Hanxin...

When I left and returned to my room, I found myself unable to fall asleep.

There was a knock on the door.

His thin lips moved slightly: "Who?"

"Senior Brother, it's me, Thirteenth Sister."

Thirteenth Junior Sister.

Every time she introduced herself, she would emphasize that she was Thirteen Sister.

Anyone who didn't know the situation would really think she was someone's sister.

Gu Hanxin flicked his sleeve and blew out the candle. "We can talk about it tomorrow. I'm going to sleep."

Outside the door, Bai Ruolian bit her lower lip, looking at the soothing tea in her hand, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

She cooked it especially for him...

She saw him wandering outside and thought that her senior brother must be having trouble sleeping, so she kindly made him some tea...

Bai Ruolian said dejectedly, "Okay, Senior Brother, sweet dreams."

After speaking in a low voice, she picked up the tea tray, turned around, and slowly walked away.

Inside the room, Gu Hanxin closed his eyes.

Since his master died, he has taken over Shensuan Mountain. Some junior sisters, whose names he doesn't even know, have been deliberately trying to get close to him.

What a pity...

Among all his junior sisters, none of them were the one he hoped for.

...

The next day, Xiao Tang received another gift from Eunuch Liu.

I wonder what kind of thing it will be this time.

This time, Eunuch Liu learned his lesson and ran away immediately after delivering the gifts.

Xiao Tang was already used to seeing Liu Wufu's fleeing figure.

I opened it, and there was another love poem inside.

There is also a painting.

It's the work of the main villain again.

She exclaimed, "Wow!"

The main villain does nothing all day but draw, doesn't he?

However, today's painting depicts her embracing the main villain.

Xiao Tang secretly guessed that there would be more tomorrow.

She gave a soft hum, accepted the love poem, put away the painting, and stood up to say to Yan Shi, "Let's go check out the room where the female disciple is being held."

They hadn't gone far when they saw Yan Ruyu happily rushing towards them.

Seeing how fierce she was, Xiao Tang initially wanted to turn to the side to avoid her, but in the end, she held back.

After all... this girl might have something to say.

And so, Yan Ruyu hugged her tightly.

She excitedly told Xiao Tang, "The sachet you gave me last night was wonderful! I'm perfectly fine!"

Xiao Tang: ? ? ?

Sachet? What's that?

What kind of sachet is this? She has absolutely no recollection of it.

Besides, isn't giving a sachet as a gift something that couples should do? It seems so awkward for her to give a sachet to Yan Ruyu for no reason.

She looked closely at Yan Ruyu's cheerful appearance, and her red lips twitched slightly.

Slowly, he told Yan Ruyu, "Well... I just want to tell you that I never gave you a sachet."

Yan Ruyu, whose face was full of joy, was dumbfounded.

"What?"

"Who gave you this sachet?"

The girl hung the sachet in the most conspicuous place on her waist, as if afraid that others would not see it.

Xiao Tang stared at the location of the sachet for a long time.

The sachet looks rather clumsy and rough in its handiwork... not quite like a woman's needlework.

Startled back to reality by Xiao Tang's question, Yan Ruyu, whose mind was still buzzing, exclaimed, "I... Gu Hanxin sent it over, saying you made it."
