When Xu Ze woke up again, it was already a few days later.

He is still in a remote house, but besides him, Shi Yi is still there.

Shi Yi sat deep in the room, with a xylophone still placed in front of her.

Sensing that Xu Ze had woken up, Shi Yi did not investigate, but focused her eyes on the xylophone, wondering what she was thinking.

"You saved me?"

After checking himself, Xu Ze felt a little unbelievable.

"I just hope you and Gu Wanqing separate, not that you die." Shi Yi replied.

Or because they have disliked each other for many years, neither of them looked at each other when talking.

Xu Ze stood up and began to cross his legs and adjust his breathing.

Shi Yi had no intention of leaving and was still looking at the xylophone in a daze.

"What did you feed me? Why do I feel that my cultivation has become much smoother?" Xu Ze leaned forward and asked again.

"Reborn Creation Pill." Shi Yi's words were concise and concise.

"Tao-level fifth-grade elixir? You want to use this to make me leave Wanqing? Let me tell you..." Xu Ze frowned.

The words are not finished yet.

"With your current relationship with Wanqing, do I still need to make a deal with you?" Shi Yi interrupted.

"..."

Xu Ze was silent.

"This thing was originally obtained by Wanqing for you."

"This time you were injured and your foundation was damaged. Ordinary healing elixirs treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Only this reborn creation elixir can save your life."

"What a pity."

"Unfortunately, as a result, the efficacy of the elixir has been reduced by 50%, so your qualifications will not be significantly improved."

Shi Yi explained in detail.

After listening, Xu Ze remained silent.

It wasn't until a long time later that he said: "...Even so, I won't be grateful to you."

"I don't need your gratitude either." Shi Yi replied instantly.

After saying this, she put the xylophone into her spiritual ring.

Such action attracted Xu Ze's attention.

"This xylophone is very good. Although it is an ordinary product, Wanqing seems to be destined to the music world, so I'd better take it back." Shi Yi said.

Xu Ze nodded and did not answer.

When Xu Ze thought that Shi Yi would leave, he never thought that the latter would actually come and squat next to him.

It is already late at night.

The starlight came in through the door and window and happened to be printed on Shi Yi's cheek.

She just looked straight at Xu Ze, as if she wanted to see through something, with an inexplicable light shining in her beautiful eyes.

The distance between the two is neither close nor far.

Waves of cold air overflowed from Shi Yi's body uncontrollably, but Xu Ze couldn't feel the cold for a while.

"Tell me about you and Wanqing?" Shi Yi asked.

"Wanqing didn't tell you?" Xu Ze wondered.

"I said some, but not much."

"After listening to this, you will no longer oppose me and Wanqing?"

"Of course it's impossible, I'm just curious."

"What are you curious about?"

"I'm curious why Wanqing is so cold to you, why you still come here every year, and this time you are even seriously injured."

"Every year? How do you know?"

"Uh, this..."

Shi Yi was momentarily speechless.

Seeing Xu Ze staring at her strangely, she could only choose to tell the truth: "Since the last time you met Wanqing, Wanqing has chosen to retreat and only came out a few days ago."

"Before retreating, she begged me to come here every year at this time to see if you would come."

"If you come, I will tell you that you don't have to wait."

"It would be best if you didn't come."

Xu Ze nodded, indicating that he understood, but then asked: "Then why haven't I seen you before?"

"It's not necessary." Shi Yi gently brushed her black hair beside her ear and said, "You and I will only get bored of each other when we meet."

"I showed up this time just to deliver the xylophone." She added.

"That's it." Xu Ze suddenly realized.

He did not blame Gu Wanqing for hiding in seclusion, nor did he blame Gu Wanqing for wanting to send the xylophone back.

Just asking.

"Is Wanqing okay?"

"Well, compared to you, it's indeed much better." Shi Yi replied seriously.

"That's good." Xu Ze smiled with satisfaction.

"Don't you hate it?" Shi Yi asked again.

"What do you hate?"

"Hate me for beating up the mandarin ducks, hate Wanqing for treating you like this?"

"How can there be times when husband and wife don't have disagreements?" Xu Ze shook his head and sighed:

"Wanqing has suffered a lot, and it is reasonable to be confused by obsession for a while."

"All I can do is try to keep up with Wanqing without restraining her."

"As for you?"

Speaking of this, Xu Ze looked at Shi Yi.

He straightened his expression and said loudly: "If I hadn't been inferior to you in cultivation right now, I would have suppressed you directly!"

This statement made Shi Yi roll her eyes.

"But forget it." Xu Ze changed the subject.

"Why?" Shi Yi asked.

"Because you saved my life anyway, let's just treat it as a grudge."

"Then should I thank you for sparing my life?"

"You're welcome, I should."

"..."

Shi Yi was speechless.

This is the first time the two of them have had such a conversation, and the atmosphere is a bit inconsistent and a bit funny at the same time.

"Let's talk about what happened between you and Wanqing." Shi Yi returned to the old topic.

Hearing this, Xu Ze fell silent again.

After a long time, he finally exhaled a breath and spoke softly.

He did not emphasize his efforts, but simply talked about how difficult it was for Gu Wanqing.

When he mentioned that Gu Wanqing's appearance had been completely ruined, he was extremely heartbroken.

When talking about the two getting married, their eyes flashed back again, as if they were a lifetime apart.

"Wanqing's Qinyin has always been very sad. Although she behaves with low self-esteem and cowardice, she is extremely strong in her heart."

"She used to always say that having me is enough. But I know that it is not enough."

"She longs to live like a normal woman, to prove herself to others, and even more to be noticed."

"Because of me, she has been criticized by others for many years. Now she desires to become stronger and does not want to be the same person again. It is reasonable."

Xu Ze continued.

When he said this, his words were full of understanding and care, without any resentment.
To be continued...
