Chapter 7 Soundproofing
Amid their surprised looks, Yue Qiran told her life story with a sad face.
Her parents passed away early, leaving her without a name. Everyone in the village called her "Girl," and she grew up eating at many people's homes. Six months ago, a drought struck, and she left the village to survive. Unexpectedly, she encountered robbers, and she struggled mightily to escape on horseback.
Her tearful look coupled with these words really made anyone who heard them sad and anyone who saw them cry.
Han Yueshan was even more distressed and said, "Don't be sad, young lady, I will be here for you from now on."
Um?
Yue Qiran was shocked by these inexplicable words and almost couldn't maintain her expression.
The old man even picked up his cane and hit him. Han Yueshan dodged gracefully and said, "Excuse me, young lady. Master is in a bad mood today. I will leave first to avoid hurting you by mistake."
Watching the old man and the young boy leave as if they were playing, Yue Qiran's face was still sad, but there was no emotion in her lowered eyes.
Listening to the birds singing outside the house, I know that it is early spring in the southern part of the mainland.
However, before the door was knocked open, she didn't hear any sound from outside. Did they set up a ban to prevent her?
In addition, the expression of the girl Xi Jing before was a little strange. Moreover, the leader of the sect called himself an old man. Something was not right about it. It would be better for her to recover quickly and leave here.
Thinking of this, she stood up with difficulty, walked to the door, and wanted to close it. After all, if she heard something she shouldn't have heard, it would be a big trouble for her.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she found a shape-shifting restriction on the door, which should be used for sound insulation.
but……
She narrowed her eyes. Soundproofing restrictions are usually removed as soon as they are used. The fact that the restriction can be set on the door and take effect as the door opens and closes shows that this sect leader is extraordinary.
She had just closed the door and hadn't turned around when the door was pushed open by someone, and she was pushed open with it.
She stumbled a step, and Xi Jing, who pushed the door open, quickly supported her and asked in shock, "Sister, are you okay?"
After she stood firm, she smiled weakly and said, "Nothing."
"It's Xijing's fault. She shouldn't have come in without knocking." She apologized and helped her walk towards the bed.
Yue Qiran paused for a moment, glanced at the restriction inconspicuously, and became more eager to leave.
After Xi Jing helped her onto the bed, she asked, "Sister, what were you doing at the door just now? Is there anything I can help you with?"
She smiled and replied, "It was a bit noisy outside, so I wanted to go close the door."
"So that's how it is." Xi Jing paused and said with some pride, "If you like quietness, I'll draw a soundproofing talisman for you. You can stick it on the door. It will block out most of the outside sounds except for knocks and kicks."
Yue Qiran was a little caught off guard and said, "That sounds impressive."
"Master's soundproofing is one of the best in the area within a hundred miles! Although I'm not as powerful as Master and can't directly set up a barrier on the door, the soundproofing sound I draw is unmatched by others."
You can tell that she is very proud of this, she even changed her self-reference from "Xi Jing" to "I".
She sighed with admiration, and subtly flattered the sect leader a few times before asking, "Miss Xi Jing, has the sect leader said when I can recover?"
Xi Jing was stunned for a moment, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Master said that it will take about half a month for my sister to walk normally again. As for a complete recovery, it will take a long time."
Her hesitant attitude made Yue Qiran even more alert.
