Mu Sihan’s eyes were dark, balls of anger burning in them.
Nan Zhi did not dare to look into Mu Sihan’s eyes for too long. However, there was nothing to be guilty of. To her, Brother Gu Sheng had long become part of her family.
Seeing that he was still alive and well, various emotions swelled in her chest. She was surprised, agitated, happy, glad…
Who knew that it would be so coincidental to be able to meet the ‘resurrected’ Gu Sheng when she accompanied Mu Sihan to look for the Master here?
Taking in a deep breath, she was ready to go and calm the angry man. However, she had just taken a step away when her slender wrist was grabbed by a warm palm.
“Little Flower.”
Hearing Brother Gu Sheng call her like this, Nan Zhi’s eyes immediately welled with tears, almost crying out.
No matter what happened, it was fine as long as he was safe and alive.
Mu Sihan’s dark eyes landed on Nan Zhi’s wrist that was held by Gu Sheng. He tightened his hands into fists, eyes turning red as he stepped forward, wanting to walk towards the two. Suddenly, a pleasant voice that sounded like a nightingale trailed over, “Brother Ah Sheng, it’s quite late now, stop splitting the logs and rest early…”
A young and beautiful girl wearing a red organza dress ran out from the wooden house. She probably did not expect to see so many people in the yard as she hummed immediately, with her eyebrows furrowing before her bright eyes looked towards Gu Sheng.
Seeing Gu Sheng grabbing Nan Zhi’s wrist, she hummed again.
After all, to her, Gu Sheng was distant and cold. She had to speak a lot before he would give her a rare response.
Sometimes, when they went up the mountain to get herbs and she fell accidentally, he would not even pull her up directly, choosing instead to pull her up with a stick.
He would stress to her occasionally that the opposite genders should not be too close to each other.
She even thought at some point that he had become a monk mentally. He was not old, but he was always acting like an old man.
But now…
Ling’er’s bright eyes darkened slightly.
He probably acted cold and mannered, unwilling to let others into his heart because he had not yet met someone he liked!
After Ling’er walked out, Nan Zhi pulled her wrist back from Gu Sheng’s hold. Her well-defined almond-shaped eyes met with Ling’er’s.
It was no wonder why the woman kept mentioning Miss Ling’er when she led them here.
She was indeed beautiful and soulful. Just a look at her was enough for one to have a good impression of her.
Nan Zhi nodded at Ling’er with a smile. At this, Ling’er also smiled, asking clearly, “Brother Ah Sheng, are these your friends?”
Gu Sheng nodded, his warm eyes never moving from Nan Zhi.
He had never thought that there would be a day they would meet again.
Staring at her, who had become prettier, red appeared under his warm eyes.
The both of them had experience life-and-death, and they understood that it was alright as long as both of them were alive.
As for the rest, he did not dare ask for anything more…
Mu Sihan stared at Gu Sheng and Nan Zhi, his eyes turning darker. Suddenly, his temple started to hurt.
Oh sh*t.
The parasitic poison was acting up again.
He hurriedly walked out of the yard. However, the immense pain caused him to stumble the moment he did.
He hugged his head that felt like countless numbers of iron bars had been stabbed into it. He half-knelt on the floor, growling lowly like an angered wild beast…
If he was able to remove the parasitic poison in him, he would definitely make Lucy suffer when he returned!
The immense pain made him pant loudly.
The pain made him feel like he was in a deep abyss, one that he was not able to find the light no matter how hard he tried.
When Nan Zhi saw Mu Sihan walking out of the yard, she knew something was wrong.
Was the poison acting up again?
She hurriedly walked out of the yard.
Bai Ye and Yi Fan also followed after quickly.
Seeing Mu Sihan in so much pain again because of the parasitic poison, Nan Zhi felt tears swelling in her eyes, as she trembled uncontrollably.
Seeing him hold onto his scalp intensely, she moved forward unconsciously, wanting to pull his hands away. However, before she could touch him, she was pushed away immediately.
Gu Sheng, who had rushed over as well, immediately stabilized Nan Zhi.
“Don’t go over, he will hurt you.”
Gu Sheng glanced at Mu Sihan. He hurriedly called Ling’er over when he noticed something moving under his forehead speedily. “Bring the Calming Pill over.”
Ling’er hurriedly took out a pill from her small bag.
Gu Sheng glanced at Yi Fan and Bai Ye. “Please help control him.”
Yi Fan looked guarded. “What are you going to give to Young Master?”
“If you don’t believe me, you can leave with him right now,” Gu Sheng said calmly.
Bai Ye walked in front of Gu Sheng, smelling the pill he was holding. “There’s no poison in it. It has a calming effect.”
It was only then that Yi Fan was assured enough to assist.
The three of them worked together to make Mu Sihan take the pill, after which he slowly calmed down afterwards.
Nan Zhi hugged Mu Sihan, who had fallen to the floor and lost consciousness.
Wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead for him, she felt her heart clench tightly in heartache.
She really did not want him to experience such a pain again.
…
Ling’er tidied up a guest room for Mu Sihan to rest in.
Glancing at Nan Zhi, who was guarding by Mu Sihan, she said softly, “Sister Nan Zhi, don’t worry. I’ll send Diao Er to go get Master now! My Master is really incredible, when Brother Ah Sheng almost died from that poison, he was able to treat him.”
Looking at the kind and pretty Ling’er, Nan Zhi nodded in gratitude. “Thank you, Miss Ling’er.”
Ling’er walked out, whistling to get Diao Er, planning to let it go get her Master. However, she noticed that Gu Sheng was missing, and she murmured in confusion, “Where did Brother Ah Sheng go?”
Bai Ye heard Ling’er and replied, “He went to find your Master.”
Ling’er caressed Diao Er’s head, freezing slightly before a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
It seemed like Brother Ah Sheng really cared for Sister Nan!
…
Gu Sheng found the bearded Old Man in another wooden hut filled with Chinese herbs in the depth of the mountain.
The Old Man saw Gu Sheng and stroked his white beard. “Why did you come here instead of accompanying Ling’er?” Before Gu Sheng could say anything, the Old Man guessed, “You have something to ask me for?”
Gu Sheng told the Old Man about Mu Sihan’s symptoms.
Although he did not like Mu Sihan, Little Flower did. If anything happened to him, Little Flower would be sad.
“You didn’t have any feelings for Ling’er in the past year because you like that man with the parasitic poison?”
“You’re thinking too much.”
The Old Man stared at Gu Sheng’s warm and handsome face and calm eyes. His white beard twitched in anger. “Originally, you’d become heartless and emotionless after I removed that poison in you. It was because Ling’er wanted you to become a normal person that she went to the Passionless Valley to pick that Love Flower that blooms only once in a hundred years. Because of this, she lost an eye and can only see from her left eye now. You brat, even then you weren’t touched and you never did anything she told you to. But now, you’re here to ask me for a favor because of a friend? Brat, let’s see if I hit you to death!”
