At noon, Tong Yan brought He Zhan the chicken soup that had been stewed all morning, and paired it with two or three dishes for today's lunch.
There were only two people eating today, or the previous attack made Gu Yuqi worried. When he left in the morning, he specifically informed him of his itinerary and left a short-distance teleportation talisman before leaving.
Putting the chicken soup in front of He Zhan, the soft sound made people barely come back to their senses, and then they found Tong Yan looking at him.
"Did you not get enough rest in the past two days? Your face looks a little bad and you were absent-minded during the day."
"Did the wound recur?" Tong Yan said and wanted to get up to check his injury.
He Zhan put a forced smile on his lips and said comfortingly: "I just didn't sleep well. Sister Yan, don't worry too much."
"Really? If you have anything, you must tell me."
Seeing that He Zhan's expression didn't seem to be fake, he dropped the topic.
He Zhan didn't drink the chicken soup for a long time. Instead, he looked at something lost in thought, which attracted Tong Yan's attention.
"Why don't you drink it? It's still unpalatable after it's hot." Tong Yan asked again, and even stretched out his hand to explore the temperature of the wall of the bowl.
He Zhan shook his head quickly, "No, I want to wait for it to cool down before drinking it."
The edge of the bowl was still hot, and the soup was probably also hot. Tong Yan didn't doubt it, but frowned slightly, a little worried about He Zhan's preoccupied look.
I turned around and had just two bites of rice when I suddenly heard He Zhan ask: "Sister Yan, have you contacted Senior Brother Shen?"
Shen Zhuangheng and Tong Yan have a good relationship. It's been so many days since her accident. It's impossible for him to not receive any news about her accident, let alone ignore her.
Tong Yan knew that he was asking about Su Mu, and told him, "Yes, we just stayed here two days ago, and I told him the specific location."
Putting down the chicken soup that was basically untouched, He Zhan hesitated for a moment, "If Senior Brother Shen wants to take you to Baiyin Valley or Qiankun Gate, will you agree to go?"
They were expelled by the sect, and Elder Chai was pressing behind them everywhere. Without a powerful force to protect them, it was not an exaggeration to say that they had nowhere to stay.
In Qiankunmen Baiyin Valley, at least it can be guaranteed that Elder Chai will not dare to act openly.
Hearing this, Tong Yan was stunned for a moment. There was no doubt that Su Mu would definitely find a place for him to settle down. This time, he probably came with the intention of asking her to follow him.
But she thought about Shen Zhuangheng's current situation. He had already married and lived in Baiyin Valley. He was not a disciple of the original sect. If he lived alone in a strange environment, would he be treated unfairly and be excluded?
If you take a notorious person back to you, will the powerful people and elders of Baiyin Valley not be dissatisfied with him? And can they tolerate you?
Although Qiankun Sect is his sect, he actually spends very little time in the sect. Apart from one or two fellow disciples, he probably doesn't have many friends.
Su Mu's situation was only slightly better than his own, and Tong Yan didn't want to embarrass him because of his own affairs.
Night falls.
Gu Yuqi came back after a long journey and went to Tong Yan's room as soon as he came back.
He Zhan heard the sound of the door closing next door and stared at the wall in front of him, clenching his fists tightly.
In the middle of the night, Gu Yuqi saw how a man could come in and out of a woman's room so casually, not just once or twice. He knew that he had some thoughts about Tong Yan, but his behavior of being so impatient and disrespectful to a woman was too wanton and shameless!
He Zhan couldn't help but think of how Gu Yuqi always occupied Tong Yan like this when he was at his last inn. Except when he checked his injuries every day, he never saw anyone at all.
Gu Yuqi's true feelings for Sima Zhao were not concealed at all.
In the next room
Gu Yuqi poured a cup of hot tea and drank it while his peripheral vision fell on a pile of paper on the table. The messy waste paper and familiar lines, it only took a few glances to see that they were the runes of the teleportation talisman.
Putting down the empty cup, Gu Yuqi picked up a piece of semi-finished product and said, "Want to learn this?"
Tong Yan raised his head and glanced at him and the scrapped talisman paper in his hand. He felt ashamed that he wasted a lot of paper but didn't have a finished product. He pursed his lower lip, and then said casually and in a good-looking manner: "Well, let's learn and see.
That’s all.”
Gu Yuqi picked up the waste papers covering the table and folded them one by one. From the crooked first draft, he saw the complete and smooth runes appearing one by one, and praised them sincerely.
"Although I didn't succeed in my studies, my success lies in my diligent attitude."
Tong Yan laid down a heavy hand and destroyed another one. He raised his eyes and stared at him silently.
This kind of praise is worse than no praise at all.
Gu Yuqi saw that she failed again and did not understand her dissatisfaction. Instead, he approached with interest and said, "I can teach you."
But I didn't expect the person opposite to throw away his pen, lean back on his chair, get angry, and strike out.
"No more studying."
Gu Yuqi regretted not being able to teach her well, "Why don't you learn."
With the absolute confidence of one-to-one tutoring from a famous teacher, I strongly recommended myself, "Let me teach you, and you can learn it in just half an hour."
Tong Yan had already learned it for a while, but now he felt annoyed when he saw the lines. He was still willing to learn, so he said, "I'll talk about this later. How about what you said before."
Last time, after Gu Yuqi helped Tong Yan take the medicine, he suddenly talked to her about He Zhan, saying that He Zhan's talent was quite good. He just had the guidance of his master when he was still in the Mosha Sect. Now that he has left the sect, he has nothing to do.
Under the guidance of his master, it may have a great influence on him.
After analyzing the current situation of the two of them, He Zhan is only one step away from forming a pill. Not only are they running around in danger, they cannot provide a safe environment for him to form a pill, which will undoubtedly cause his cultivation to stagnate.
And forming pills hastily will also face great risks.
Gu Yuqi deliberately made the situation serious, because what he stated were all objective facts, and Tong Yan couldn't help but listen to some of it. He was worried that because of him, He Zhan would leave the sect and miss the opportunity to practice.
Seeing Tong Yan's wavering, Gu Yuqi made a timely proposal to send He Zhan to be a disciple of a certain Nascent Soul monk after he recovered from his injury, so that he could concentrate on training as before.
Tong Yan asked Gu Yuqi to ask first to see if the senior was willing to accept a disciple.
This is what Tong Yan is asking Gu Yuqi about now.
Gu Yuqi answered firmly, "He is a casual cultivator. The two disciples he took in before have died, so he wants to take another disciple. He Zhan has a good character, and he will definitely agree."
Tong Yan replied thoughtfully, "That's good."
As long as Tong Yan agrees to send He Zhan away, it means that the matter is eight out of ten. Gu Yuqi raised his lips slightly without any trace, poured hot tea into the cup, and served it to Tong Yan.
He said comfortingly: "Don't think too much. There are many dangers around you now. He has insufficient cultivation to protect himself. The monks chasing him are all golden elixirs. You can protect him for a while, but you can't protect him for the rest of his life. He has to protect himself."
Just grow up.
And it is only to send the person to practice temporarily, not to say goodbye to him or not. If you want to see him in the future, you can just send him a message."
Tong Yan was moved by Gu Yuqi, especially after he understood that he would only face various fights if he followed her. He sighed slightly and said, "Don't tell him about this yet. Ask him what he means after he recovers."
She had obviously agreed to send He Zhan to be a disciple, but she also wanted to see what kind of attitude He Zhan had.
Hearing what she said, there was no objection on Gu Yuqi's face. An unusual emotion quickly flashed through his eyes half-covered by long eyelashes, and then he nodded in agreement.
"It's natural."
He will definitely agree, Gu Yuqi thought to himself.
