Upon hearing Chu Chuyan's voice, Pei Mianman instantly tensed up, and then involuntarily trembled.
Zu An secretly groaned, never expecting the same situation to repeat itself. Last time, Yan Xuehen discovered it, and this time he wanted to learn from his mistake, but Da Manman was just too good at it...
Soon the two embraced tightly, as if they wanted to meld each other into their own bodies.
This is supposed to be the sweetest moment for couples, and if no one else were around, they would definitely have endless sweet nothings to say to each other.
But there was someone else outside, and a very special one at that.
"Manman?" Chu Chuyan's slightly puzzled voice came from outside again, clearly wondering why she hadn't responded for so long.
"Hmm, Chu Yan?" Pei Mianman's voice was somewhat flustered as she pushed the man off her and hurriedly put on her clothes.
"I only learned from Master's conversation that you also arrived at Purple Mountain and were injured in the previous competition. I specially brought you an Ice Heart Creation Pill to help you recover as soon as possible." Chu Chuyan felt a little strange, wondering if she was sleeping just now, judging from the voice coming from inside.
Zu An was also shocked. He had seen Yan Xuehen use the Ice Heart Creation Pill before. It was the most top-tier healing medicine in Baiyujing, even better than the Jade Marrow Rejuvenation Pill that Ji Dengtu had used before. It was extremely precious, and even Yan Xuehen, as the abbot, didn't have many of them.
Chu Chuyan actually took one and gave it to Pei Mianman?
As fellow members of the Nine Sects of Taoism, Pei Mianman had naturally heard of the preciousness of the Ice Heart Creation Pill. She was both shocked and moved, never expecting that her friend would give her such a precious elixir, while she herself had been secretly...
In an instant, she felt extremely annoyed and guilty, and even started to find Zu An somewhat displeasing.
"Wait a moment!" Pei Mianman quickly put on her clothes, but as she stood up, she sensed something and couldn't help but glare at Zu An. It was all this guy's doing!
Zaun was also speechless; why did this scene seem so familiar?
Pei Mianman pushed him to the window, signaling him to get out quickly. Zu An was very depressed, feeling like he was the third party.
However, at this moment, he didn't have the courage to face Chu Chuyan's pure, snow-capped eyes, and could only guiltily escape through the window.
Pei Mianman quickly returned to the bedside and tidied the messy bedding before running to open the door: "Chu Yan, I'm sorry, I've been feeling very tired these past few days because of my injuries, and I just took a nap."
Chu Chuyan felt a little embarrassed: "It's all my fault, I disturbed your rest."
"No, no, I'm so happy to finally see my good friend," Pei Mianman said as she invited her into the house.
It would be inappropriate and unreasonable to refuse entry to someone who has delivered such precious medicine; in fact, it would only arouse suspicion.
Chu Chuyan did not refuse. After all, back in Mingyue City, she was aloof and had to maintain a dignified image to support a large family, so she basically had no friends. Pei Mianman could be considered her only best friend.
The reason we arrived so late is mainly because...
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) I don't want outsiders to know about our relationship. There have been a lot of rumors about me these past two days, and I'm worried that it might cause you some unnecessary trouble." She saw that Pei Mianman's hair was messy and she looked like she had just woken up, so she explained this as she entered the room.
"What rumors?" Pei Mianman was pouring her tea when she heard this and was taken aback.
"You didn't know?" Now it was Yan Xuehen's turn to be surprised.
Pei Mianman explained embarrassedly, "A few days ago, my master kept me locked in my room every day to give me special training in preparation for this competition, so I couldn't have any contact with the outside world."
"I see," Chu Chuyan said, her face slightly flushed. "Actually, it's nothing."
It involves Zu'an (a derogatory term for a group of people), so it's an awkward topic for everyone to discuss.
She handed over a brocade box, saying, "This Ice Heart Creation Pill was given to me by my sect for self-defense, but I don't need it right now. Since you're injured, I hope it will be helpful to you."
"How could I accept such a life-saving item? You should keep it safe. After the treatment from my sect over this period, my injuries have almost completely healed." Pei Mianman hurriedly declined. The treatment from Biluo Palace alone had healed her by 60-70%, but with the help of Azu just now, she had truly recovered more than half. However, for various reasons, she couldn't explain it to Chu Chuyan.
"Don't worry, I'll just ask my sect for another one later," Chu Chuyan pushed the brocade box over again. "No need to be polite, we're good friends."
Upon hearing the words "good friend," Pei Mianman's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of guilt appeared on her face.
Next, Chu Chuyan chatted with her about their experiences during the time they had been apart, but the two women tacitly avoided mentioning anything related to Zu'an.
For a moment, it felt as if she had returned to the carefree days of her best friend days in Bright Moon City.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from Pei Mianman's body. Chu Chuyan was startled and looked at Pei Mianman in confusion.
"My stomach has been a little upset these days," Pei Mianman explained, while cursing Zu An half to death for leaving so much food behind.
Chu Chuyan's expression immediately turned strange. If it were back in Mingyue City, she might have really believed it, but now that she had experience, the voice sounded somewhat familiar.
She sniffed the air slightly, glanced at the messy bedding, and recalled Pei Mianman's strange reaction when she visited earlier. She already had a lot of guesses in her mind.
"Then I won't disturb your rest any longer." Chu Chuyan stood up and took her leave.
Sensing the change in her expression from gentle to frosty, Pei Mianman's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but call out to her, "Chu Yan!"
