When I returned with breakfast, Ayao and Aji were already in the courtyard, brandishing their swords and knives.
However, there was still no movement at Baili Xijiang and Yuanyuan's room.
"Breakfast is ready, everyone. I'll go wake them up." Song Tingwan pointed to Shen Zhuochuan, who was carrying a lot of things, and smiled as she lifted her skirt, preparing to head towards the two rooms.
However, after taking only two steps, both doors were slammed open.
"Master, I'm awake! I'm awake!" Baili Xijiang shouted anxiously.
Qin Xi ignored Baili Xijiang and said softly to Song Tingwan, "I'm here."
Song Tingwan paused, noticing the strange expressions on their faces, and her eyes flickered slightly.
"Then... everyone, please sit down."
She lowered her brows and smiled, then walked forward with Shen Zhuochuan to the second floor of the observation deck.
A hundred years ago, they came to the place where Yunyin usually sat and chatted.
Shen Zhuochuan remained silent, smiling gently as he arranged everything.
After Song Siyao and the others sat down, they realized that today's breakfast was so plentiful.
"Wow, aren't these Aunt Li's taro buns that are so hard to get? You actually managed to snag six! Master, you're amazing!"
Baili Xijiang took a small steamed bun, took a bite, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
"I didn't manage to get one; the uncle who did give it to me."
She told me not to force it on her, but seeing how embarrassed she looked, she just put it directly into Shen Zhuochuan's hand.
Even so, she still couldn't help but glare at Chen Zhuochuan.
Shen Zhuochuan felt the heat in his hands as he held the food. The uncle patted him hard on the shoulder and said, "Take it carefully. If Awan doesn't eat it, I'll hold you responsible."
What else could he say but nod with a smile?
He'd been getting used to being glared at by his elders the whole way.
Shen Zhuochuan calmly picked up the taro bun, took a bite and found it to be sweet, soft and glutinous. No wonder they fought so fiercely over such a bite.
"It's delicious! I'll go grab some tomorrow!" Qin Xi took a bite, her eyes lighting up.
Baili Xijiang subconsciously opened his mouth to refute.
But when he met Qin Xi's gaze, he turned his head away uncomfortably and swallowed his words.
Qin Xi also looked away in slight panic, and the atmosphere between the two of them was very strange.
The other four noticed their odd behavior and curiously observed the two of them discreetly.
And it really was true; no matter what was said, once one person responded, the other would never respond again.
It doesn't seem like they've fallen out.
It's as if they're a little awkward and don't know how to get along.
Last night must have been quite an eventful one.
Song Tingwan and Shen Zhuochuan exchanged a silent glance, watching the two awkward people with great interest.
After having breakfast in this strange atmosphere, Song Tingwan got up and said, "Ayao and I will go find the clan chief first."
Song Siyao stood up and turned to wait for her older sister.
"You all go ahead, I'm going into seclusion later too." Qin Xi was munching on a small, delicate bun, her eyes squinting with delight.
Baili Xijiang didn't look at her, and muttered, "I'm going into seclusion too."
Wanqiji glanced at Yuanyuan, then at Baili, somewhat puzzled yet vaguely understanding something.
As Shen Zhuochuan tidied his desk, he smiled gently at Song Tingwan amidst his busy work, "Okay."
Song Tingwan glanced at them with a smile, then left with A Yao.
Song Hexi was already waiting for them at the door.
"You're here? Let's go."
"Has the clan leader been waiting for a long time?" Song Tingwan asked, slightly surprised.
"It won't be long, so I'll just come out for some fresh air."
Song Hexi looked at the two sisters with a smile and continued with some emotion: "I have heard about what happened at Wutong Mountain. Strangely, Lord Yanshan did not allow our Yunyin Clan to participate."
Therefore, among the forces that went to provide support that day, no members of the Cloud Hidden Clan were seen.
Song Siyao paused slightly. "What about reinforcing Xingyuan? Doesn't Master allow Yunyin to get involved either?"
Song Hexi nodded, "Yes, Lord Yan said that we are favored by Heaven and would be easily influenced if we went in, so he wouldn't let us go to provide support."
If the other party hadn't spoken so sincerely, he would have suspected that Lord Yanshan was looking down on the Yunyin Clan.
Upon hearing this, both sisters had deep thoughts in their eyes.
Song Hexi turned around with a smile and saw their expressions. "Don't overthink it. Just focus on what's in front of you."
As he spoke, he waved his hand to open the gate to the forbidden area.
The Song sisters nodded their thanks to him before slowly walking side by side into the forbidden area.
Song Hexi watched their retreating figures, then waved his hand with a complicated expression and closed the forbidden passage.
That old man of his often visits the Spirit Network; everyone is praising them too much.
He was somewhat worried.
However, since some of the influential people in Yanshanjun have entered Xingyuan, this matter can only be temporarily put on hold.
Xingyuan.
This is yet another thorny problem.
Song Hexi sighed and left, so worried that even the storybook didn't interest him.
He always had a feeling that a storm was brewing.
In the forbidden area.
Song Tingwan and Song Siyao walked side by side, step by step, without saying a word. They were about to see their father, but their hearts felt inexplicably heavy.
"Sister, you must have accumulated a lot of merit this time."
After a long while, when he saw the standing ice coffin, Song Siyao spoke in a low voice.
Song Tingwan nodded and gestured with her hand, "There are so many, Father should be able to recover quite a bit this time."
She spoke cautiously, not actually knowing to what extent her father could recover.
The two stood in front of the ice coffin. Song Tingwan looked at her father's transparent soul with his eyes closed and felt a pang of heartache.
My father's health has always been poor.
After being forced to take pills for many years, he improved considerably, but his complexion remained pale.
She always joked that it must be because the father and daughter were too weak that their mother and sister didn't want them.
The two sickly father and daughter looked both pitiful and funny to themselves.
