Meng Wan smiled flattered and sat down beside the low table.
She looked around and found that although the wooden house was simple, it had everything she needed, even the spirit gathering array for cultivation was set up.
It can be seen how much effort the person who built this wooden house put into it.
Good thing she booked it first.
Not long after, Shen Zihan brought up the brewed spiritual tea, the fragrance of the tea filled the air and was refreshing.
"Sister Wan'er, you've worked hard for so many days, please have some tea."
"Thank you very much."
Meng Wan smiled at Shen Zihan, picked up the tea and took a sip. She felt a cool feeling flowing down her throat, and her whole body felt comfortable.
"Good tea!" Meng Wan exclaimed.
"This is the spiritual tea grown by our Shen family. The yield is very small, and we usually don't even want to drink it ourselves."
Shen Zihan said with a smile, a hint of complacency in her tone.
Shen Zixuan looked at his sister with some surprise. At this time, she became generous.
After a little thought, he took out several plates of exquisite spiritual food from his storage bag and placed them on the low table.
"Sister Wan'er, try these spiritual foods. These are what I brought from home when I left."
Meng Wan looked at the delicious food in front of her with a look of surprise.
These spiritual foods are not only spiritual but also colorful, fragrant and delicious. You can tell at a glance that they are made by famous chefs.
She picked up a piece of cake and put it in her mouth. It melted in her mouth, sweet and delicious, and a rich aroma spread in her mouth, leaving her with an endless aftertaste.
“It’s delicious!”
Meng Wan praised sincerely.
Shen Zixuan smiled dotingly, "As long as Sister Wan'er likes it, I'll ask the chefs to make it for you when we get home."
Meng Wan smiled shyly, not knowing where to look.
Shen Zixuan and his sister are really able to give people constant surprises.
The three of them chatted while tasting the spiritual food.
The atmosphere was so relaxed that it felt like an outing. Who would have thought that they were in the dangerous Tianheng Mountains?
After eating and drinking her fill, there was still a lingering trace of worry between Meng Wan's brows.
"Sister Wan'er, is there something on your mind?"
Shen Zixuan frowned and asked proactively.
"Brother Zixuan, Uncle Qian said that powerful monsters often appear in the depths of Liuguang Lake. I, I'm a little worried..."
Shen Zixuan naturally understood her concerns, put down the teacup in his hand and said seriously.
"What Old Man Qian said is true. The depths of Liuguang Lake are indeed very dangerous. But don't worry, Sister Wan'er. Since I promised to protect you, I will definitely do it."
When Shen Zixuan said this, he pondered for a moment, took out something from his storage bag and handed it to Meng Wan.
It was a jade talisman, crystal clear and emitting a faint spiritual light.
"This jade talisman was refined by a foundation-building cultivator from my Shen family. It can be used without any spiritual energy stimulation. At a critical moment, it can withstand a full-strength attack from an early foundation-building cultivator.
Sister Wan'er, please keep it safe for future use."
Meng Wan looked at the jade talisman in front of her, a little surprised, as if she realized the value of this jade talisman.
Shen Zixuan gave her such a precious item so easily...
Shen Zihan watched from the side, wanting to say something but stopping herself, but was glared back at by Shen Zixuan with a warning look.
"This... this is too valuable. I can't accept it..."
Meng Wan was about to refuse when she was interrupted by Shen Zixuan.
"Sister Wan'er, you're welcome. Since you and I...have a mutual understanding, it's only natural for us to help each other. This journey is treacherous and unpredictable, so the more protection we have, the safer we'll be."
Shen Zixuan's tone was firm, not allowing for refusal. "When you gave me the jade token, didn't I refuse it?"
Meng Wan wanted to say something else, but seeing Shen Zixuan's unquestionable attitude, she finally swallowed her words back.
She sighed softly and reached out to take the jade talisman...
Shen Zihan watched all this from the side, feeling mixed emotions.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she remembered her brother's warning, she swallowed the words back.
When Shen Zixuan saw Meng Wan accept the jade talisman, a smile appeared on his lips.
He turned to look at Shen Zihan, “Zihan, it’s getting late, take sister Wan’er to the room to rest.”
"Yes, brother."
Shen Zihan suppressed the discomfort in her heart, stood up and walked into the wooden house with Meng Wan.
Shen Zihan brought Meng Wan to the door of a bedroom and said, "Sister Wan'er, you can stay here tonight. If you need anything, just call me."
"Thank you, Zihan." Meng Wan thanked Shen Zihan and walked into the room.
Shen Zihan watched Meng Wan's back disappear into the room before turning and leaving.
She returned to her room, but couldn't fall asleep.
She tossed and turned for a long time, finally got up, walked straight to Shen Zixuan's room, and asked with an unhappy look on her face.
"Brother, what on earth were you thinking? That's your secret treasure for protection. How could you so easily give it to that Zhang Wan'er? Have you ever thought about the consequences?!"
Shen Zixuan seemed to have expected Shen Zihan to come to him. He calmly put down the book in his hand and said lightly.
"Zi Han, please keep your voice down. Don't disturb Sister Wan'er's rest."
"There's a formation in place, so no matter how loud I speak, she won't be able to hear me!"
Shen Zihan rolled her eyes and walked quickly to Shen Zixuan, her tone full of disappointment.
"Brother, that jade talisman is one of the trump cards left to you by your parents, how could you give it away so carelessly?
Besides, how long have you known her? How much do you know about her? You are so open-hearted, what if..."
"Zi Han!"
Shen Zixuan’s tone suddenly turned cold, interrupting Shen Zihan’s words, “You don’t understand!”
As if thinking of something, he smiled again, his tone gentle and his eyes doting, "Besides, Sister Wan'er is not the kind of person you said she is."
Shen Zihan was stunned for a moment, and looking at Shen Zixuan's determined eyes, her mood became even more complicated.
She didn't understand why her brother, who was always calm and composed, became so impulsive and so... irrational when it came to Zhang Wan'er.
Is it really so terrible to fall in love?
Seeing that Shen Zihan didn't speak, Shen Zixuan sighed and slowed down his tone.
“Zi Han, I know you are worried about me, but I know what’s going on.
Sister Wan'er is different from others. I trust her, and I have many hidden cards in my hand. Losing the jade talisman is not a big deal."
Shen Zihan finally understood that a cultivator who fell in love was doomed.
She still remembered how arrogant her brother was when he first met Zhang Wan'er, and how he looked down on the stupid and cowardly Zhang Wan'er.
But now, he calls her "Sister Wan'er" all the time, more intimately than anyone else.
No wonder her parents would give her so many instructions at home, telling her to take good care of her brother.
Thinking of this, Shen Zihan stopped worrying about it. The things had already been given away, and she couldn't ask for them back.
"Okay, brother, since you already know what's going on, I won't say any more. It's late, you should get some rest."
After that, Shen Zihan left the room.
