Ruan Tang came out of the house and walked briskly to the neighbor's yard. Since they had helped her tidy up the yard, she should return the favor.
The layout of the west courtyard is similar to that of the east courtyard, with three main rooms, except that the side rooms are located on the west side, echoing the east courtyard.
The residual energy from the cleansing talisman had already partially cleansed the houses in the west courtyard, but Ruan Tang still felt uneasy after thinking about it.
She closed the main door of the west courtyard behind her and took out a purification talisman from her crossbody bag.
With a slight movement of spiritual energy at his fingertips, the talisman silently ignited with a pale golden flame.
It was as if some invisible little thing in the air was being swept away by this stream of spiritual energy.
"And... clean up the invisible friends too," Ruan Tang muttered to herself.
Although her cultivation was shallow and she couldn't open her third eye, she still thought it best to get rid of anything unclean in the old house if it was. This was a habit she had developed over the years.
After doing all this, Ruan Tang returned to her east courtyard with satisfaction.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she froze.
Very well, this guy isn't even trying to hide it anymore, is he?
The remaining half of the weeds has been completely cleared away and neatly piled up in the corner.
Seeing that no one was in the courtyard, Ruan Tang walked into the house.
There was no one in the main room. She went into the bedroom on the right and saw that tall figure with his back to her.
The man was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and was bending over to lay out the kang (a heated brick bed).
The object in his hand was dark brown and looked quite substantial; Ruan Tang had never seen anything like it before. Curious, she took a few steps closer and couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
The man paused in his actions and slowly turned around.
He didn't answer her question, his deep, dark eyes fixed on her, and his thin lips parted slightly to utter two words:
"Yan Yu".
"..." Ruan Tang froze, blinking instinctively, confused. "Huh?"
Yan Yu stared at her intently, clearly waiting for her to call his name.
How did this person suddenly become so childish?
Ruan Tang felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, and a warm breath crept up her ears.
She pouted, rolled her eyes in annoyance, and said, "Yan Yu, what are you doing?" Her tone was soft and sweet.
As soon as she finished speaking, she clearly saw the man's tense lips instantly turn upwards, and a bright smile bloomed on his face.
That smile, as radiant as winter snow melting and spring flowers blooming, instantly brought his already handsome and aloof face to life, giving him a breathtakingly dashing appearance.
Ruan Tang's heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks flushed bright red, as if they could bleed.
This guy... is strangely good-looking.
Yan Yu, who had already turned away, was secretly delighted. Hearing the little girl call his name in her soft, sweet voice, he felt a tingling, itchy sensation, like a feather gently brushing against his heart, making him feel dizzy.
Yan Yu said happily as he made the bed, "I just checked the kang here and it's fine and sturdy. I'll put the mattress on for you, and you can rest for a while."
Two thick palm mats, perfectly sized, covered the entire surface of the kang (heated brick bed).
After laying out the palm mattress, he conjured up a soft antibacterial mattress and laid it on top, and finally a brand new pure cotton sheet.
The entire process was conducted without any attempt to conceal anything.
Ruan Tang stood aside, watching him take things out of his spatial storage as if no one else was there, and felt a chill run down her spine.
Her initial flustered feeling due to the other person's good looks was instantly replaced by anger.
How much does this guy think of himself?
Is he so certain that she is weaker than him, which is why he dares to expose his space so recklessly in front of her?
