Taoist Priest Wuya and several of his disciples had been standing at the entrance of the library at Yuanshan Taoist Temple for nearly three hours.
However, no matter how much they talked, Shen Ruoxi just refused to come out to eat. For two whole days, she didn't eat or drink a drop of water. It would be too much for anyone.
Upon hearing that Pei Yaozhou had arrived, Taoist Wuya felt like he had found a savior and immediately trotted over to greet him.
"Ruoxi hasn't answered the phone today. Is she still here with you?" Pei Yaozhou asked.
Taoist Wuya nodded immediately. "The master came to the library two days ago and hasn't come out since. We cooked and wanted to bring it in, but the master refused to open the door."
"This person is like iron and steel. How can he survive without food and water?" Taoist Wu Ya sighed worriedly.
Hearing this, Pei Yaozhou frowned: "Ruoxi hasn't eaten for two days?"
Taoist Wu Ya nodded helplessly.
"If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, just call me directly." Pei Yaozhou looked at Taoist Wuya, motioning him to lead the way, and at the same time took the thermos from Ren Quan.
The food in the thermos was cooked by him personally. He knew that Ruoxi would always forget to eat when she was busy, but he didn't expect that she hadn't eaten for two days.
He was too careless and regretted not caring about Ruoxi more.
Arriving at the door of the library, Taoist Wuya was about to knock when Pei Yaozhou stopped him: "Do you have a key?"
Taoist Wu Ya was stunned.
"If Ruoxi is serious, she won't be able to hear what's happening outside." Pei Yaozhou added.
Taoist Wu Ya suddenly realized that the person who knew their leader best in the world was indeed Master Pei San. They had always thought that they had made the leader unhappy in some way, which was why the leader ignored them. It turned out that they were thinking too much.
only……
Taoist Wuya looked embarrassed: "The headmaster specifically told us before we went in that no one is allowed to enter without her permission."
"I'll go in alone, you wait outside."
When Taoist Wu Ya heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense. Mr. Pei San was the husband of the sect leader, so he was not considered an outsider. Naturally, it could not be considered that he was going against the sect leader's wishes.
More importantly, the leader hasn't eaten for two days, and they are all very worried about him.
Thinking of this, Taoist Wuya handed the spare key to Pei Yaozhou without saying a word.
With a "click", the door lock opened and Pei Yaozhou walked in.
The library, as the name suggests, is where Yuanshan Taoist Temple collects various precious books, with rows of densely packed bookshelves.
Pei Yaozhou glanced around and finally found Shen Ruoxi's petite figure in front of the small mountain of books.
He walked to Shen Ruoxi and called softly, “Ruoxi.”
Shen Ruoxi came back to her senses after hearing the call. Seeing that the person coming was Pei Yaozhou, her frown finally relaxed for a moment.
"Azhou, why are you here?"
Pei Yaozhou put the thermos bucket on the table: "I was worried that you were hungry, so I cooked and brought it to you."
"Ah!" Shen Ruoxi exclaimed, "You should have called me before you came. I have plenty of food here. They all cooked for me."
Pei Yaozhou smiled helplessly: "I called you, but no one answered."
"Ah?" Shen Ruoxi took out her phone and took a look. She didn't know when it had turned off automatically.
"My phone must be out of battery. Sorry." Shen Ruoxi blamed herself a little. She knew that Pei Yaozhou was very busy recently. If she had answered the call to reassure Pei Yaozhou, he wouldn't have to come all the way here.
"Are you thinking that if you receive a call, I won't have to come over?" Pei Yaozhou asked.
Shen Ruoxi nodded.
Pei Yaozhou embraced Shen Ruoxi with his long arms and hugged her into his arms: “Ruoxi, I miss you. Even if you told me not to come over on the phone, I would still come over.”
After being nervous and exhausted for many days, Shen Ruoxi suddenly fell into a solid and warm embrace. Only then did she feel tired and hungry.
"Gurgle", the stomach made a rumbling sound.
Pei Yaozhou looked at Shen Ruoxi's slightly flushed cheeks, and his heart beat faster. He wanted to kiss Shen Ruoxi's cheek, but he knew that now was not the time.
He pushed the thermos bucket in front of Shen Ruoxi: “Eat first, then you will have the energy to continue doing what you want to do after eating.”
Shen Ruoxi nodded, opened the thermos, and saw that they were all her favorite dishes. Her heart felt like it was soaking in a hot spring, but when she thought about how Wanwan was cursed because of her negligence, casting a shadow over their family of four, she couldn't help but blame herself.
Pei Yaozhou saw this scene clearly.
"Ruoxi, I'm your husband. If anything happens to you, I hope you can tell me instead of handling it alone, okay?"
Shen Ruoxi looked at Pei Yaozhou, only to see that Pei Yaozhou's eyes were also bloodshot, and his eyes were full of worry. It was obvious that he had not rested well, and his nose couldn't help but feel sore.
Whether in her past life or this life, she was used to being alone and trying to solve any problems on her own, even after marrying Pei Yaozhou.
It turns out that my silence can also cause others to worry.
Shen Ruoxi finally decided to tell Pei Yaozhou about Wanwan's curse and what happened between her and Hun Dun.
After hearing this, Pei Yaozhou's brows furrowed.
"So, Ruoxi, you came here to find a way to help Wanwan lift the curse?" Pei Yaozhou asked.
Shen Ruoxi nodded: "I don't believe that this curse can only be broken by Chaos. Master said that there is more than one way to break any spell. I must have missed something."
“No matter whether Wanwan is the daughter of heaven or not, since she is my daughter in this life, I can’t just watch her get into trouble.” When she said this, Shen Ruoxi’s eyes turned red.
Pei Yaozhou hugged Shen Ruoxi distressedly: "Don't worry, I will accompany you to find a solution, and I will never let Wanwan get into trouble!"
Adhering to the principle that only when you are full can you have the strength to work, Shen Ruoxi temporarily put down what she was doing and started eating.
While eating, Pei Yaozhou told Shen Ruoxi what happened in Gu's Enterprise.
Shen Ruoxi couldn't help but admire him. When it came to strategizing in the business world, Pei Yaozhou was like a cheetah, always able to catch all his prey quickly, fiercely and accurately.
"I help that kid Gu Xi for my wife's sake. I can't help him forever." Pei Yaozhou rubbed his nose.
Shen Ruoxi smiled and said, "It is Gu Xi's blessing to meet a good teacher like you."
Hearing his wife praising him like that, Pei Yaozhou felt so relieved that he even felt a little elated.
But at this moment the phone rang.
Seeing Ren Quan's name on the caller ID, Pei Yaozhou frowned and was about to hang up, but was stopped by Shen Ruoxi.
"I know you're with me. If it weren't for something urgent, I wouldn't call you at this time. Go ahead and answer it."
