Xie Shuci's heart skipped a beat.
Although Xie An's expression was unclear, a sense of panic uncontrollably spread through Xie Shuci's heart.
This prevented him from responding to the little blind man immediately.
Xie Shuci's mind went blank. For some reason, he thought of Sikong Ye's words and even wondered why he had never doubted anything and why he should doubt anything.
Sikong Ye met Xie An's gaze directly, neither looking away nor avoiding it. Perhaps wanting to see something more interesting, Sikong Ye leisurely placed his hand on Xie Shuci's shoulder and leaned down, actively closing the distance between them.
Xie Shuci was confused and numb, and did not notice his behavior. She only felt a thick shadow fall on her.
"Xie Shuci!" Xie An emphasized, his emotions affecting his mind. His body felt like it was being torn apart. He clenched his teeth and gripped the door frame tightly, his fingers digging into it as if he wanted to crush it.
Xie An's voice echoed in his ears, and Xie Shuci suddenly came to his senses. Then he saw Sikong Ye's face so close to his. Xie Shuci pushed him away and stood up from the stone bench in a panic.
He didn't have time to think about what Sikong Ye wanted to do to him. He immediately turned to look at Xie An by the door. Xie An was holding onto the door frame with one hand, as if he was in great pain. His slightly hunched figure seemed like he was about to collapse.
"Thank you for your help!"
Xie Shuci instantly forgot everything and ran towards him with great strides, "What's wrong with you?"
Xie Shuci asked nervously.
But the moment his hand touched Xie An, he was violently shoved away. Caught off guard, Xie Shuci fell to the ground, the pale yellow light shining on his bewildered face. "Xie An..."
Xie Shuci murmured.
Having known Xie An for so long, no matter what Xie Shuci did or how annoying he was, Xie An had never pushed him away, nor had he ever been as vulnerable as he was now, needing to hold onto the door frame to barely keep his balance.
He was backlit by the room's lights, which cast a yellowish halo around him. He glanced sideways at Xie Shuci, who lay motionless on the floor, his profile exposed to the light.
Xie An's lips were tightly pressed together, and his dark eyes seemed to flash with a scarlet light. This look reminded Xie Shuci of their first meeting, when Xie An leaped from a branch and looked down at him with a gloomy, wicked gaze, containing endless killing intent, as if he wanted to tear Xie Shuci to pieces.
Xie Shuci watched as his face turned deathly pale, and he murmured "little blind man" but no sound came out.
On a conditioned reflex, Xie Shuci shrank back. Xie An was terrifying; it seemed as if he would pounce on Xie Shuci and devour him at any moment.
Seeing Xie Shuci's retreating movement, Xie An's pupils contracted sharply. He took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the surging anger in his heart. His left hand, hanging at his side, trembled slightly, as if it was about to go out of control and strangle Xie Shuci. He never knew that he had no self-control at all. At this moment, he could not get any closer to Xie Shuci. With his current temperament, any slight movement about Xie Shuci would cause his rationality to crumble instantly.
"Xie An, are you alright?" Xie Shuci sat on the ground and, seeing Xie An's pained appearance, suppressed his fear and asked in a trembling voice.
"I'm fine," Xie An said through gritted teeth.
Xie Shuci got up from the ground and wanted to go forward to help him, but Xie An stopped him with his hand, "Go find Chu Wenfeng, understand?"
His tone leaned towards an unquestionable command. Xie Shuci looked at him, her eyes reddening, and choked out, "What's wrong with you? Tell me!"
Xie Shuci really didn't like this. There must be something wrong with Xie An's health. His reaction was too strange. It couldn't possibly be a headache.
Xie An lowered his eyes and said in a weak voice, "You will find out."
Xie An turned and went into the room, slamming the door shut behind him.
The courtyard fell silent again after a loud bang. Xie Shuci stood outside the tightly closed door, tears blurring his vision and streaming down his cheeks. He knew that Xie An had kept many things from him, but Xie An had never intended to tell him.
Xie Shuci had said he wouldn't pry into his past, but how could someone who likes another not want to know everything about them? Xie Shuci wanted to know his past, what he had experienced, his real name, and truly understand him. However, he had promised Xie An that he would never ask. The people around him had repeatedly warned him to be wary of this person of unknown origin, but Xie Shuci used his promise as an excuse to shut them down.
Xie Shuci never asked him, and Xie An never mentioned his past. In his interactions with Xie Shuci, he revealed almost no information about himself. Xie Shuci didn't know what he liked, and could only guess if she wanted to prepare a birthday gift for him.
All of that is fine. If Xie An doesn't want to talk about it, he doesn't have to. If he doesn't want Xie Shuci to know, he doesn't have to find out. But now that his body is clearly having problems, he is lying to him and hiding it from him. He knows he is worried about him, yet he still refuses to let him in at this time.
He even suspected that Xie An might not like him at all. Xie Shuci had never been in a relationship, but he knew that liking someone shouldn't be like this.
“Book of words”.
Chu Guiyi and the other person were disturbed at some point and went into the courtyard.
Xie Shuci sniffed. "I'm fine. If he doesn't want to talk about it, then so be it."
He wiped away his tears, turned around and walked to the stone table, picked up the things on the table, and looked at Chu Wenfeng, "Take me to your room."
Chu Wenfeng looked at Xie Shuci with a complicated expression. He seemed undecided and glanced at Chu Guiyi.
Chu Guiyi nodded, and then Chu Wenfeng said, "Come with me. Don't kick off the covers while you sleep, or I'll give you a good beating."
Xie Shuci, who had barely managed to stop his tears, couldn't hold them back any longer. With red eyes, he lowered his head and sobbed, "I'm already like this, and you still want to scold me..."
Chu Wenfeng: "..."
I didn't insult you.
Chu Guiyi stared blankly at the closed door in the courtyard, then glanced at Sikong Ye, who was sitting on the stone table, detached and teasing the green snake. Her mood inexplicably darkened.
He didn't know what entanglement the two had, but he didn't want Xie Shuci to get hurt because of them.
After returning to the room with Chu Wenfeng, Xie Shuci lay sullenly on the bed. Chu Wenfeng sat at the table watching him, hesitating to speak several times.
Xie Shuci got annoyed by his gaze. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Chu Wenfeng shook his head. "It's nothing."
After saying that, he hesitated and looked at Xie Shuci, wanting to say something but not daring to.
"you……"
"Me? What happened to me?"
"he……"
Xie Shuci pursed her lips and buried her face in the blankets.
"I……"
Chu Wenfeng stood there for ages saying "you, me, him" but didn't say a word. Xie Shuci rolled his eyes and said, "Just say what you have to say."
Chu Wenfeng frowned and finally asked the first question: "What's wrong with him?"
Xie Shuci said angrily, "I also want to know what happened to him!"
Xie Shuci suddenly sat up in bed, pointed to the window, and gestured for Chu Wenfeng to take a look. Chu Wenfeng curled his lip, "Didn't you say you weren't going to do anything about it?"
"Stop talking nonsense."
Chu Wenfeng reluctantly got up and walked to the window, glancing outside. "The lights are off; they should be resting by now."
Xie Shuci pursed her lips and lowered her head. In fact, now that she had calmed down, she realized that Xie An's state was very abnormal no matter how she thought about it, and there must be some reason for it.
Xie An hadn't been injured during this time, and he was usually quite normal. How could he suddenly become like this?
Chu Wenfeng returned to the table and saw Xie Shuci with a blank face, not saying a word. He hesitated and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering why he suddenly changed like this."
Chu Wenfeng said, "Perhaps it wasn't sudden? Maybe he was just... with you..."
Xie Shuci gave him a long, quiet look. "That's not what I meant."
What are you trying to say?
Xie Shuci sighed. He was worried about Xie An, but he didn't dare to look at him directly. He thought about it for a long time and felt that there was only one possibility. So he looked up at Chu Wenfeng and said, "The little blind boy became deaf, mute and blind because he took my pill. Although his ears and throat have recovered now, his eyes are still blind. He has been very weak lately. Is it possible that this is also a side effect of the pill?"
Chu Wenfeng asked in surprise, "The side effects of the pill?"
Xie Shuci nodded and said, "Yes, the first time I saw him, he was poisoned. I gave him my pills, and after he woke up, he became deaf, mute, and blind."
Chu Wenfeng looked at him speechlessly, "Xie Shuci, can't you use your brain for once?"
"I'm talking to you seriously, why are you cursing at me?" Xie Shuci frowned.
"Don't you have the ability to make your own judgments? You believe everything he says? In the cultivation world, someone like you is bound to die."
Xie Shuci was a little unhappy after being scolded. "He has no reason to lie to me. If you know something, just say it. If you don't know, I'll ask Guiyi."
Chu Wenfeng glared at him. "First of all, you have top-grade or high-grade pills on you. Even the lowest grade pills are high-grade. If low-grade and mid-grade pills would cause side effects, then the reason why high-grade pills are called high-grade and top-grade pills are called top-grade is because they have no impurities and will not cause side effects."
Upon hearing this, Xie Shuci frowned. "Then how could he... Could it be that he's allergic to pills?"
Chu Wenfeng: "..."
Can you please wake up?
"But he had no reason to lie to me."
Chu Wenfeng said, "Judging from the results, he didn't lie to you. He is indeed blind. However, the reason why he is deaf, mute, and blind has nothing to do with you or your pills."
Xie Shuci frowned even more deeply and asked, "Why is that?"
"Because he went mad with qi."
"Going mad from cultivation?!"
Chu Wenfeng nodded and said, "Like my senior brother, his inner demons affected his cultivation path, causing him to suffer a qi deviation. The price each cultivator has to pay after suffering a qi deviation is different. My senior brother lost the ability to stand, and Xie An is blind, deaf, and mute. Generally speaking, the higher the cultivation level, the higher the price after suffering a qi deviation. Someone like Xie An is not common in the cultivation world."
Xie Shuci's mind was a little confused for a moment, and he asked, "But hasn't he already regained his hearing and voice? He said that his eyes might recover soon too."
Chu Wenfeng rolled his eyes and said, "Otherwise, why do you think my senior brother warned you to be wary of Xie An when we left Luofang City? His physical defects were caused by a qi deviation, and unless he rebuilds his golden core and restores his cultivation, he will never be able to recover."
Xie Shuci was shocked upon hearing this. "His cultivation has recovered?!"
Chu Wenfeng frowned and shook his head, saying, "No."
"ah?"
Chu Wenfeng said, "You should be able to sense to some extent that Xie An has no spiritual power in his body, and his golden core has indeed been destroyed."
"How could that be..."
“Cultivation focuses on the soul, not the body. He must have used some method to separate his soul from his body.”
"Soul separation?"
Chu Wenfeng explained, "The soul and the body are originally one. In his current situation, the soul is the soul and the body is the body."
Xie Shuci nodded as if he understood, and then said, "Then he's been very weak lately, could it be because of the separation of his soul and body?"
Chu Wenfeng pondered for a moment and said, "It's possible. If his soul isn't strong enough, his body will definitely be affected when his soul and body are separated."
"I see." Relieved to know the reason, Xie Shuci then asked, "Will he be alright?"
Chu Wenfeng gave him a disdainful look. "I'm telling you all this so you'll be more wary of him, not so you'll care about him."
Xie Shuci said matter-of-factly, "He is my boyfriend now... that is, my Daoist partner. What's wrong with me caring about him? Besides, he has never hurt me, and I don't think he would hurt me. Although I am quite curious about his identity, his identity is not important to me."
Chu Wenfeng's expression became much more complicated as he said, "Throughout history, there have been cultivators whose souls and bodies have separated. If their cultivation level is not high enough and their temperament is not stable enough, they are more likely to suffer from demonic possession than ordinary people."
"No other impact?"
"there is none left."
Xie Shuci knew how stable the little blind man's temperament was. He was always calm and composed no matter what happened. As for his cultivation level... Thinking about the series of events that had happened before, Xie Shuci felt that his cultivation level was probably not very high. If his cultivation level was not high, he would easily suffer from qi deviation. In that case, he would have to drag the little blind man into cultivation together in the future.
Seeing Xie Shuci's thoughtful expression, Chu Wenfeng hesitated again, "Actually, there's one more thing."
At this point, Chu Wenfeng stopped talking.
On their way here, they encountered disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect and learned that Xie An was not from the Xiaoyao Sect. Should they tell Xie Shuci about this?
Chu Wenfeng was a little undecided. Anyone with eyes could see that Xie Shuci was extremely fond of Xie An. If he knew that the scoundrel had been lying to him from beginning to end, he wondered how he would react.
Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking and looked conflicted, Xie Shuci asked suspiciously, "Is there anything else?"
Chu Wenfeng rarely showed such inner turmoil; his face was contorted into a grimace, yet he still couldn't utter a single word.
Having learned the reason for the little blind man's weakness, Xie Shuci felt much relieved. Seeing that Chu Wenfeng hadn't uttered a single word for a long time, he asked in confusion, "Are you constipated?"
Chu Wenfeng's face darkened: "..."
You deserve to be fooled your whole life, you idiot.
Chu Wenfeng rolled his eyes at him, walked to the bedside, kicked off his shoes, and crawled into the quilt.
Xie Shuci pouted and sat by the window all night. When dawn broke, he went out of the room and into the courtyard.
Sikong Ye sat on a tree branch, having found a mechanical lock from somewhere, and was intently playing with it in his hand.
Walking under the tree, Xie Shuci couldn't help but glance at him a few more times. Recalling his behavior last night, it seemed as if he had deliberately done it for the little blind man to see. Although the little blind man's eyes had not yet recovered, his sense of smell and hearing were very sensitive. He was probably woken up in the middle of the night and found himself with Sikong Ye, whom he hated, as soon as he went out. His mood instantly soured, which is why he reacted so strongly.
but……
Xie Shuci wondered suspiciously what Sikong Ye was trying to say last night when he hadn't finished speaking.
Xie Shuci pursed his lips, "Whatever, let's check on the little blind boy first."
Worried that his footsteps would disturb the little blind man, Xie Shuci tiptoed to the door, pressed his ear against it, and listened carefully to the sounds inside, but after a long while, he heard nothing.
He gently pushed the door open a crack, pressed his face against the crack, and peered inside with one eye.
The hazy light from outside the window vaguely illuminated the outline of the room. Xie Shuci glanced at the bedside; Xie An was leaning against the headboard, eyes closed, breathing evenly. Although his face was not very bloodshot, he seemed to be alright. Seeing this, Xie Shuci breathed a sigh of relief, gently closed the door, and returned to the courtyard.
When it was fully light, the little blind man still hadn't woken up. Since this was Meng family territory and nothing bad would happen, he and Chu Guiyi, along with the others, carried the items they were going to auction and went to the main hall where the banquet had been held the night before.
Most of the items Xie Shuci wanted to sell came from the Floating Pagoda Realm, which was rare in the cultivation world, so the auction prices would naturally be higher. Elder Meng kept him in the main hall to discuss the auction price and profit sharing for each item, while Chu Guiyi and the others returned to the small mountain behind.
On the way back to the small mountain peak, Sikong Ye made an excuse to leave and went down the mountain.
Just as Chu Guiyi and the other person returned to the courtyard, Xie An pushed open the door and came out.
Hearing the two voices, Xie An paused, seemingly realizing that there were only two footsteps and Xie Shuci was not among them. He frowned and asked, "Where is Xie Shuci?"
"Letter of reply..." Chu Guiyi had only answered two words when Chu Wenfeng, who was beside her, interrupted her.
"He's busy."
Xie An pursed his lips and asked, "Where is he?"
Chu Wenfeng crossed his arms and slowly sat down at the stone table, his tone laced with sarcasm, "What does this have to do with you? You're not telling him anything, so why should we tell you about him? You don't really think Xie Shuci is someone you can summon and dismiss at will, do you?"
Chu Guiyi glanced at Xie An's slightly pale face and continued speaking without interrupting Chu Wenfeng.
Upon hearing this, Xie An paused, then asked, "Did I make him angry?"
Chu Wenfeng scoffed, "More than that. Put yourself in his shoes. If you were him, would you be angry?"
Xie An lowered his eyes, his expression inscrutable.
Seeing this, Chu Guiyi sighed and said, "Young Master Xie, Shuci won't be kept in the dark forever. Sooner or later he will find out your identity. I don't know what entanglement you have with Sikong Ye, nor do I need to know. However, Shuci will be hurt because of you, just like last night."
Chu Wenfeng looked at his senior brother in surprise after hearing this, wondering if his senior brother had already guessed Xie An's identity? Then why didn't he tell Xie Shuci?
Xie An stood there with his head down, and after hearing this, he said, "Since you know, why don't you tell him?"
Chu Guiyi fell silent. Although he knew he should tell Shuci, and that Shuci would eventually find out the truth, he was afraid that Shuci might not be able to accept it. In this matter, Chu Guiyi rarely found himself unable to weigh the pros and cons.
Seeing that Chu Guiyi couldn't answer, Xie An didn't press further, but simply said, "He'll find out soon enough."
After saying this, Xie An strode out of the courtyard.
After the person left, Chu Wenfeng stood up from the table, looking suspicious, and asked, "Senior Brother, who exactly is he?"
Chu Guiyi took a deep breath and said with a sigh, "He is Xiao Xun."
"What?! He's Xiao Xun?!" Chu Wenfeng said in disbelief.
Chu Guiyi nodded. "That's right."
Chu Wenfeng's expression turned extremely solemn. Watching Xie An's departing figure, his heart sank deeper and deeper. "He is Xiao Xun... If Xie Shuci knew..."
Chu Guiyi said in a deep voice, "So, I don't know how to tell him."
Having known Xie Shuci for so long, they knew that Xie Shuci hated Xiao Xun to the point of fear.
——
Having agreed on the auction price, Xie Shuci was satisfied and prepared to return to the small mountain peak to check on the little blind boy's condition.
To be honest, Xie Shuci was a little scared by the little blind man's attitude last night.
He seemed to see himself in the blind boy again, just like when they first met. The boy was full of hostility and murderous intent. In fact, the moment the boy pushed him away, Xie Shuci had a strange intuition that the blind boy actually wanted to kill him.
But Xie Shuci felt there was no reason for it. The blind boy did indeed hide many things from him and was unwilling to tell him, but ever since they had talked things out, the blind boy had never hesitated to express his affection for Xie Shuci. Xie Shuci was quite certain that the blind boy liked him, and in this matter, the blind boy gave him enough security. Although he had briefly doubted it last night, that was just because he was emotionally charged.
How could the blind man possibly want to kill him? So Xie Shuci concluded that it was just his imagination.
Leaving the main peak, Xie Shuci slowly walked towards the smaller peak.
Although Xie Shuci knew the reason why the little blind man was physically weak, he still didn't know how to face him.
Last night, he spoke so harshly, not only pushing me away but also turning him away, leaving me to spend the night with Chu Wenfeng! Xie Shuci felt a pang of resentment when he thought about it, and suddenly didn't want to go back and see the little blind man.
Xie Shuci squatted down by the roadside, resting his chin on one hand and plucking spiritual herbs from the ground with the other, muttering something under his breath.
"You blind bastard, you stinking blind man, if your soul and body are separated, so be it. Why do you have to hide it from me? It's inexplicable."
A short while later, Xie Shuci heard very light footsteps behind him. He paused for a moment, but deliberately did not turn around.
The blind man's footsteps were much lighter than anyone else's, making them easy to distinguish. Xie Shuci knew who was behind him, but he stubbornly refused to turn around and look at him.
The man stopped behind Xie Shuci and remained silent for a long time.
Since he didn't speak, Xie Shuci pretended not to notice and vented all his resentment in his hands. In a short while, a pile of dull weeds appeared under him.
"Have you sold everything?"
After some time, the person behind me finally took the initiative to start a conversation.
Xie Shuci curled his lips. He had been standing there for so long, and when he finally spoke, it turned out to be something insignificant.
"Hmm," Xie Shuci replied in a muffled voice, while inwardly belittling himself. Couldn't he have waited a little longer? To make this person a little more aware of the danger.
Perhaps realizing that Xie Shuci wasn't very willing to cooperate, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Their interaction usually involved Xie Shuci being very talkative and eloquent, while Xie An would occasionally reply with a word or two, but mostly just listen to Xie Shuci.
This time, Xie Shuci was determined. He didn't speak, and neither did Xie Shuci.
Perhaps there was really no other way, Xie An squatted down next to Xie Shuci and grabbed Xie Shuci's hand that was messing around on the grass, "Don't pull it out."
His cold tone instantly reminded Xie Shuci of the time last night when he had ordered him to go to Chu Wenfeng's room.
Xie Shuci was instantly enraged and forcefully pulled his arm back. "What's it to you? What I want to do is none of your business!"
Xie Shuci said irritably.
"If you don't want me to take care of you, then don't take care of me."
"Thank you for your resignation," Xie An called out, emphasizing his words.
Xie Shuci looked at him incredulously. "You fucking made me angry, and you still dare to talk to me so loudly?!"
"Let go!" Xie Shuci's face darkened, and he got up to leave.
Xie An wouldn't let him leave. He grabbed Xie Shuci's wrist and pulled him down, causing Xie Shuci to lose his balance and fall straight into Xie An's arms. "You..."
Xie Shuci was about to unleash a torrent of curses when Xie An grabbed his waist, flipped him over, pinned him beneath him, and silenced him with a kiss, shutting down Xie Shuci's foul language.
Grass!
At a time like this, Xie Shuci had no time or inclination to do such things, and immediately began to struggle beneath him.
Xie An was decisive. He used his knee to hold down Xie Shuci's flailing legs, pressed Xie Shuci's hands above his head with one hand, and pressed his shoulder with the other, making Xie Shuci sink completely into the grass, thus deepening the kiss to the extreme.
The burning heat spread to Xie Shuci's nose, and she felt dizzy and her mind gradually went blank. Under Xie An's seduction, she was immersed in this not-so-gentle kiss.
Perhaps sensing Xie Shuci's response, Xie An's forceful movements relaxed, and his kiss became gentle. Finally, he slowly pulled away from Xie Shuci's slightly parted lips and said in a hoarse voice, "I was wrong last night. Are you still angry?"
Xie Shuci couldn't help but roll her eyes. Is this the time to talk about this? Besides, are two kisses enough for an apology?
"You wish," Xie Shuci gasped.
Xie An pursed his thin lips and leaned closer to Xie Shuci.
Seeing this, Xie Shuci quickly said, "Stop, stop, stop!"
Xie An paused, then asked, "Aren't you angry anymore?"
"I'm angry! Even if you kiss me again, I won't be appeased."
Xie An frowned. "Then how can you calm down?"
Xie Shuci: "..."
Shouldn't this be your problem to be thinking about? Oh, you made me angry, and now I have to teach you how to calm me down?
But seeing Xie An's confused expression, Xie Shuci coughed dryly, his heart softening in a very pathetic way.
"Little blind man, we've known each other for so long, and you've never given me anything, have you? I've given you bells, flowers, and pills that I refined myself."
Xie Shuci's meaning is already very clear.
Xie An nodded knowingly and then asked, "What do you want?"
"You need to ask me that? When I gave you something, did I ask you what you wanted? You're asking me because I didn't want to give you anything, you jerk."
Xie An reluctantly propped himself up, gently inhaling the scent carried on the wind, and stood up from Xie Shuci's lap.
Xie Shuci grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?"
Xie An said, "There are medicinal herbs ahead. I'll go pick some and bring them to you."
"You can smell that?"
Xie An nodded noncommittally and walked into the woods beside the road.
Xie Shuci sat up from the ground, looked at his back, and couldn't help but chuckle, her mood instantly improving.
"I never expected him to apologize." A cold voice sounded beside me.
Xie Shuci was startled and turned to look. Sikong Ye had appeared beside her at some point, and Xie Shuci hadn't even noticed his presence.
But thinking about Xie Shuci, it didn't seem strange. After all, he's the protagonist, so high cultivation and unpredictable appearances are just basic tropes.
"Why won't he apologize? It's so strange," Xie Shuci muttered.
Sikong Ye looked at Xie An, who was intently picking herbs in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. His Dao heart was damaged to such an extent that he could not be detected by simply isolating his aura. His heart was completely tied to Xie Shuci. Was this really the Heavenly Dao Saint Son he had heard about and knew?
Xie Shuci was in a good mood and had no worries. Then she remembered what Sikong Ye hadn't finished saying last night and asked, "What was the last thing you wanted to say last night?"
Sikong Ye raised an eyebrow and said, "You really want to know?"
"Yeah, it's so annoying when someone only says half of what they mean."
Sikong Ye smiled, looked into the distance, and watched Xie An finish picking the herbs. He slowly turned around and said, "Didn't you ever suspect that Xie An was Xiao Xun?"
In the distant woods, Xie An, holding the herbs he had picked, stood facing Xie Shuci and the other person, his steps froze in place before he could even take a step.
Suddenly, his body trembled, and the herbs fell from his palm, silently hitting the ground.
