When Junze walked into the bamboo forest, he already sensed a different atmosphere than usual.
It seems like someone has been here before, and the natural distribution pattern of the bamboo leaves scattered on the ground is also different from usual.
But he was only surprised for a moment and then continued walking inside.
Perhaps, it was some wild cat from the back mountain that sneaked in...
Without giving it any more thought, he walked straight to the hot spring along the familiar route.
However, when he was about to reach the hot spring, he suddenly stopped, because he saw a figure that appeared in the misty hot spring.
When he saw the other person, the other person also saw him.
However, due to the hazy mist, even if their eyes met, they could not see each other's faces clearly. They could only see a vague outline and figure.
Junze found it a bit strange. How could someone find this hot spring hidden deep in the bamboo forest? And come here to take a bath at this time...
But soon, he saw the other party panic and bury himself in the hot spring, then questioned him with a slightly trembling voice: "Who... are you..."
Junze turned around and said calmly, "This is the hot spring I usually use for bathing."
Most people in the Xuanjian Sect know that this is their exclusive area, so no one would dare to barge in, let alone find this hot spring and use it.
Therefore, the person now is most likely a newcomer who has just joined the sect and is not very familiar with these things, and then he broke in inadvertently.
Jun Ze frowned slightly and reminded: "Forget it this time, it won't happen again. Go away."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the hot spring stood up quickly, apologized and hurried out of the hot spring, then picked up their clothes and left in a hurry without even changing them, as if they were so embarrassed that they wanted to leave here immediately.
Junze still had his back to her, his back straight and upright, with no intention of even taking a look at who she was. After she left, he just pretended that nothing had happened.
But the next second, there was a "bang" sound, and a large amount of water splashed in the hot spring, some of which even splashed on Junze.
That person...suddenly seemed to slip and fell back into the hot spring.
Junze: ...
Forget it, he might as well leave and come back when the other party is no longer so panicked and leaves here safely.
However, just as he was about to leave, the person in the hot spring suddenly uttered a painful murmur, gently slapping the water surface, and whispered to him:
"Help me... My heart hurts so much... Help me..."
He paused, quickly determined the other person's tone, and after confirming that the other person really wanted something, he turned around and walked quickly towards her.
Chen Yao covered her heart with her hands in pain. When she saw Jun Ze standing on the shore and reaching out to her with his big hand, she grabbed it without hesitation. Then, with the help of his strength, she successfully got ashore and leaned into his arms very cleverly.
She was breathing lightly and her expression was painful, as if she was enduring some unspeakable pain.
After a moment, she widened her eyes in disbelief, staring at the man in front of her in shock, and said in a trembling voice, "Master, it's you..."
"Yeah." Jun Ze responded lightly, then let go of her at the right time. After she stood firm, he kept a suitable distance from her and asked symbolically, "What happened to you just now?"
Chen Yao bit her lip, and in front of Jun Ze, she released her hand that had been covering her heart, and said, "Here... I don't know why, it suddenly hurt a lot just now. It hurt so much that I couldn't even stand."
Junze subconsciously looked in the direction she mentioned, but the next second, he quickly looked away.
Junze: ...
Fortunately, he withdrew his gaze quickly and basically didn't see anything clearly. He only vaguely saw... a white, tender and delicate luster.
Then, he suddenly turned his head and said calmly, "Stretch out your hand. I'll take your pulse now."
He tried to find out what kind of pain in her heart she was talking about.
Chen Yao cooperated and stretched out her hand in front of him, looking well-behaved and gentle.
Jun Ze calmly placed his finger on her pulse. After probing back and forth a few times, he said in a deep voice, "You've been poisoned."
Chen Yao was silent, just staring at him with wide eyes, without saying a word.
Jun Ze released his hand from taking her pulse, looked her over, and said calmly, "Do you already know?"
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yao nodded slightly and said, "I know, Master."
Jun Ze glanced at the steaming hot spring behind her and said, "Judging from your pulse, the poison you've contracted is probably a heat poison. It's not suitable for you to soak in a hot spring. Otherwise, it will double the stimulation and make the symptoms more severe. Are you aware of this?"
Hearing this, Chen Yao couldn't help but shiver in the cold wind. She shook her head pitifully and said softly, "I really don't know about this. Master, please help me, save me."
Jun Ze glanced at her nonchalantly and said calmly, "Save you? How can I save you? I don't even know what kind of poison you were infected with."
Chen Yao pursed her lips, silently took a step closer to him, and whispered: "Master, I was hit by..."
Jun Ze interrupted her directly, "This is your personal privacy. You don't need to tell me so much about it. Tomorrow, I will take you to see the clan doctor. Then you can tell him about your condition and he will know how to save you."
Chen Yao nodded with difficulty, an indescribable complexity flashing across her face. After a moment, she hugged the wet clothes in her hands, said goodbye to him quickly, and then ran out of the bamboo forest, as if she didn't want to stay and ask him for help again.
After her figure disappeared, Jun Ze rubbed his brows with a headache and began to reflect on whether he was too harsh and cold to his new disciple.
Obviously... she was in great pain and mustered up the courage to seek his support, but he... used the clan doctor as an excuse to evade her.
Even if she came to Xuanjian Sect with a purpose, he wouldn't make such a big deal out of it before finding out the truth, right?
Besides, she was new here and didn't know anything, so he could obviously help her, right?
After a moment, he exhaled heavily, looked at the still bright moon, and finally hurried to catch up.
