Xie Xinghe pursed his lips and his ears turned red. He lowered his eyes slightly and no longer looked at the girl next to him.
The junior fellow student beside her was obviously very interested in the beauty and started talking to her enthusiastically.
Especially Zuo Ziyun, he was a talkative person, and when he saw the beauty, he couldn't control his mouth.
“Miss Shen, I wonder which sect you are from?”
Shen Shuyi didn't even blink, "I came from Miaojiang, a casual cultivator who knows a little bit of medical skills."
"I didn't expect the girl to be from Miaojiang." A junior fellow couldn't help but speak up, "This is the first time we've seen Senior Brother Xinghe traveling with someone."
For some reason, Xie Xinghe's eyes flashed with uneasiness.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, “It’s all fate.”
Xie Xinghe's expression was slightly stiff. "Eat and rest early. We'll set off tomorrow."
Shen Shuyi was watching Xie Xinghe speak with a smile on her lips, but unexpectedly she bumped into him looking back at her, and she deliberately winked at him.
When they went to the shopkeeper to book a room, Shen Shuyi looked at Xie Xinghe, and the fellow apprentices behind him also looked at him.
Xie Xinghe opened a room upstairs with a serious look, and took Shen Shuyi upstairs under the attention of his fellow apprentices.
Zuo Ziyun and the others opened their eyes wide and whispered to each other after the people walked away.
"Big Brother, please get a room with her!"
"I absolutely don't believe that they are just casual acquaintances!"
"That's right. In the past, Senior Brother would never have gotten so close to a woman, let alone travel the world together."
Chen Shuyi went to the side room, took a bath and started practicing martial arts, while Xie Xinghe meditated beside him, and the two of them kept to themselves.
Suddenly, she frowned and spat out blood.
"Chen Shuyi, how are you?" Xie Xinghe opened his eyes and came over to support her.
Shen Shuyi frowned, his voice a little hoarse, “I…something seems to have gone wrong with my practice…cough cough!!”
Xie Xinghe's eyes were solemn, and a hint of panic arose in his heart.
"I'll clear it for you first."
The man sat behind her, placed his hands on her back and continuously channeled his internal energy to clear her meridians.
Shen Shuyi felt much better, and she said, "Xie Xinghe, I'm fine."
Xie Xinghe didn't stop and continued to move for a long time before withdrawing his hand.
He put the man down on the bed and said, "Don't rush into practicing."
"I want to become stronger."
"You're so anxious, are you planning to return to the Blood Lotus Sect?"
Chen Shuyi sneered, "What else can I do if I don't go back? I have a control Gu in my body. Without the antidote Mo Lianzhou gave me, I will die within a year."
"I haven't lived enough."
Xie Xinghe's hands trembled as he looked at her with her hair loose, her face pale but stunningly beautiful.
"Is there no other way?"
"Unless we can find the Snow Region Ice Silkworm Flower."
According to legend, this is a rare flower that is a symbiotic relationship between the Bingfeng silkworm and the Tianlian silkworm. The petals are wrapped in ice cores similar to silkworm cocoons. The juice of the flower can be used to refine detoxification pills that can neutralize the activity of poison.
The medicinal properties must be picked at the moment when the ice silkworm spins silk, otherwise the medicinal properties will dissipate as the ice core melts.
This medicinal herb cannot be transplanted and only appears above the ice for seven days each year. It is rumored to be a magical herb that can bring the dead back to life.
Seeing his pensive look, Shen Shuyi deliberately said, "Xie Xinghe, why are you so nervous when you hear that I will die?"
"Anyway, before I died, our life-and-death Gu had already lost its effect."
"The poison of Hehuan Powder will be eliminated in half a month."
What this means is that at that time, life and death are no longer important to them.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shen Shuyi continued: "Xie Xinghe, you don't like me, do you?"
Xie Xinghe stood up suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense."
"Then why did you transfer your internal energy to help me regulate the disordered qi?" Shen Shuyi stretched out his hand and grabbed the man's wrist.
Xie Xinghe subconsciously pulled his hand back, "Don't think too much, have a good night's rest, and set off tomorrow morning."
"I'm in pain and can't sleep." Shen Shuyi withdrew his hand.
Xie Xinghe immediately asked, "Where does it hurt?"
"My heart hurts." Shen Shuyi turned over with her back to him and snorted softly, "I'm so angry at you that my heart hurts."
Xie Xinghe's expression froze, and he realized that she was in a bad mood and was angry with him.
"I'm meditating on the side. Call me if you need anything."
Xie Xinghe was meditating and regulating his breathing nearby, watching the girl in front of him slowly fall asleep.
Seeing her sleeping face and remembering her pressing questions, his heartstrings inexplicably tightened for some reason.
He couldn't help feeling nervous at the thought that she might die without the antidote.
Even though he didn't understand love anymore, he found that he cared too much about her...
The next day, Shen Shuyi woke up and saw Xie Xinghe polishing his sword.
Xie Xinghe looked up at her with a calm expression, "How are you?"
"It's all right now. We can leave after breakfast."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Xie Xinghe opened the door and saw Zuo Ziyun and others, "Junior brother, what's going on?"
Zuo Ziyun said, "Big Brother, Elder Chen sent a letter saying that he was delayed and asked us to meet up in Longkou Town first."
"So, we want to go to Longkou Town with you, Senior Brother. I wonder if you are willing to come with us?"
Xie Xinghe glanced at Shen Shuyi, and Shen Shuyi spread his hands to show that he had no objection.
"Well, breakfast first."
The group came to the restaurant lobby and heard people talking about recent events in the martial arts world while eating.
"Who in the martial arts world doesn't know about the events at the Sword Forging Villa and the Moon Hidden Temple? I heard that Emei and the Heavenly Blade Sect are also involved."
"I heard that the owner of Sword Forging Villa has issued a hunting order. Whoever can kill the Red Whip Witch and avenge his son will be handed over the position of owner of Sword Forging Villa!"
"Who exactly is this witch? Rumor has it that she has a face as beautiful as a fairy. She only appeared recently."
"Since they are promoting good and punishing evil, how can they be called witches? In my opinion, what Sword Forging Villa is doing is very unethical."
"Let's not talk about the witch for now. Haven't you noticed that a large group of people from the martial arts world are rushing to Penglai Mountain?"
"How could I not have noticed? Everyone knows that Penglai Mountain has the Taixuan Sutra and the Alliance Leader's Token left behind by Alliance Leader Long Yuan. If you obtain one of them, you can dominate the martial arts world!"
"Those who bear deep blood feuds all want to obtain the Taixuan Sutra and practice unparalleled skills to avenge their hatred."
"Have you heard? The leader of the Blood Lotus Sect, Mo Lianzhou, has also come out of the mountains. I heard that he is taking his beloved disciple to Penglai Mountain. I'm afraid that there will be another battle between good and evil on Penglai Mountain. If you are not afraid of death, go ahead. Anyway, I will be watching the excitement at the foot of the mountain."
"Mo Lianzhou has announced that he lost the Saintess in the battle at the Cliff of Broken Souls. This time, he must destroy the five major sects to avenge the Saintess."
"Humph, the evil demon is just talking nonsense, wanting to destroy the five major sects, it's simply a joke."
Shen Shuyi was sitting at the table next to them, listening with great interest. Her expression didn't change much, but Xie Xinghe glanced over a few times out of the corner of his eye.
Tsk, are you afraid that she will return to Mo Lianzhou and kill innocent people?
She was thinking too much. In her eyes, Mo Lianzhou was no different from her enemy.
However, it was quite interesting to see Xie Xinghe so nervous.
