The next day, Leng Yan got up early. After practicing swordplay in the courtyard for a while, a servant came to call her to the front hall for breakfast. Leng Yan thought it was a kind gesture from Sect Leader Yun, so she couldn't refuse, so she followed the servant to the front hall.
Arriving at the front hall, Leng Yan saw Qin Du and Gong Cang were both there. She was a little puzzled: Why did they come when they were already fasting? Could it be that they suddenly wanted to eat?
Leng Yan didn't know that the two of them came because they guessed that she would come. They came just for Leng Yan. Yun Anyuan's eyes lit up when he saw Leng Yan.
He had listened to Qin Du's advice and changed into a colorful dress today. Sect Leader Yun was furious when he saw his inappropriate attire and wanted to hit him, but Yun Anyuan didn't care and said to his father, "As expected of Fellow Daoist Leng, your aesthetic taste is truly unique."
Yun Wanshan was so angry that he chased him and beat him. Looking at Yun Anyuan in his flowery clothes, Qin Du didn't worry at all that he would doubt his lies to Yun Anyuan yesterday. He knew that no matter how much Leng Yan hated someone or something, her dislike would never show on her face.
As expected, Leng Yan's gaze lingered for only a moment after she saw Yun Anyuan's clothes before she looked away. Yun Anyuan mistook that lingering gaze for a sign of affection. For a moment, Yun Anyuan's heart was filled with joy.
Leng Yan sat down at Yun Wanshan's invitation, but she always deliberately avoided the approach of Gong Cang and Qin Du on both sides.
Leng Yan had no appetite and only drank half a bowl of porridge before stopping. Although Leng Yan only drank half a bowl of porridge, he behaved properly and politely throughout the whole process. He looked very pleasing to the eye.
Seeing that Leng Yan only ate so little, everyone at the table couldn't help but frown, but said nothing.
After breakfast, everyone headed to the Sword Pond. Yun Anyuan took the opportunity to approach Leng Yan and asked, "Fellow Daoist Leng, what do you think of my dress?" Leng Yan replied calmly, "It looks great."
Seeing Yun Anyuan looking at her expectantly, Leng Yan continued indifferently, "But I personally think that Young Master Yun is more suitable for wearing red."
Yun Anyuan's eyes immediately lit up with joy after hearing this. He decided to change back into his red robe as soon as things were over. Yun Anyuan then asked, "Fellow Daoist Leng, why did you eat so little for breakfast? Is the food not to your liking?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around him immediately pricked up their ears and prepared to listen carefully, determined not to miss any information.
Sect Leader Yun felt a little uneasy, fearing that Leng Yan was really unhappy with the food. If that was the case, she glanced at Gong Cang beside her, hoping that it wasn't what he thought.
Leng Yan replied: "No, it's just that I have been fasting for many years and I am not used to it." Yun Wanshan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
At this moment, Leng Yan's face turned pale. She suppressed her discomfort and said to everyone, "You go first. I remembered that I left something in the house. I will go back and get it."
Yun Wanshan was just about to ask his servants to get it when he saw Leng Yan had already walked away. Gong Cang frowned, thinking that something was not right with Leng Yan.
Gong Cang said to the remaining people, "You go first, I'll go take a look, no need to wait for me." After that, he turned and walked in the direction Leng Yan left.
Leng Yan held onto the wall with one hand while clutching her abdomen with the other. Her face was pale, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Leng Yan thought to herself, "If I had known earlier, I would have found an excuse to shirk responsibility. Now, I'm suffering because of my impulsive behavior."
Leng Yan had anorexia since she was a child. She would have unbearable abdominal pain after eating for a while. Later, after she joined the Qingyuan Sect, she quickly cultivated to the level where she could practice fasting. Since then, she has not eaten anything, but strangely, she does not have abdominal pain when she takes elixirs.
After a long time, Leng Yan thought that her abdominal pain after eating had healed, but she did not care because her anorexia was still not cured. In addition, she had been fasting and did not need to eat. Therefore, when she saw the food during her meal this morning, although she still felt resistant, she endured the discomfort and drank half a bowl of porridge for the sake of Master Yun.
Unexpectedly, her stomachache after eating was still not healed. At this time, Leng Yan felt someone behind her. She turned around and saw that it was Gong Cang.
From a distance, Gong Cang saw Leng Yan leaning against the wall, clutching her abdomen. From her back, he could tell she was in great pain. Gong Cang quickly approached her. When Leng Yan turned around, Gong Cang saw her face had turned pale, with a thin layer of cold sweat on her forehead, and her entire face had a somewhat sickly look.
Gong Cang walked forward and supported Leng Yan. Leng Yan said weakly, "It's nothing, it's just an old illness." Gong Cang said nothing but put his fingers on Leng Yan's wrist without allowing any objection.
After a while, Gong Cang withdrew his hand and said in a serious tone, "You are well aware of your symptoms, yet you still dare to act so foolishly. Do you really think you are invincible?"
Afterwards, Gong Cang asked Leng Yan, "Where is the elixir Qingyu gave you?" Leng Yan replied, "I forgot the elixir he gave me in the room I stayed in yesterday."
After hearing this, Gong Cang hurried to the courtyard where Leng Yan lived yesterday and brought the pills to Leng Yan to take as painkillers. After taking the pills for a while, Leng Yan felt that her lower abdomen was no longer as painful as before.
