Chapter 108: Trade and Offerings
Xuanzhenzi had finished speaking and, after giving Jing Shiyu a profound look, left without turning back, leaving everyone behind with stupefaction plastered across their faces.
Though it was clear that over the past days, Xuanzhenzi had been unceasingly reducing Jing Shiyu’s power and usurping her assets, showing not the slightest courtesy.
Yet, when Xuanzhenzi walked out from this courtyard, why did he suddenly treat Jing Shiyu so politely?
For a moment, the plain-looking courtyard seemed to be enveloped in layers of mist in everyone’s minds, acquiring an indescribable air of mystery.
Shuting, who was following not far behind Jing Shiyu, was also full of astonishment. She clearly remembered that Lin Xing was the one living in this courtyard; how had Xuanzhenzi’s demeanor changed so drastically after coming out, treating her master with such a pleasant expression?
When Jing Shiyu heard Xuanzhenzi’s words, a hint of contemplation flashed in her eyes, but her concern for Lin Xing prevailed, prompting her to rush into the courtyard to check on him first.
Seeing that Lin Xing was lying peacefully on the bed, and after checking that his breathing and heartbeat were normal, Jing Shiyu finally let out a sigh of relief and sat quietly by the bed.
Shuting watched in surprise as her master carefully guarded Lin Xing’s side; it was the first time she had seen her show such concern for a man.
Thinking of what Xuanzhenzi had just said, Shuting thought to herself, "This Lin Xing was actually able to scare away Master Uncle; it seems his identity is far from as simple as it seems on the surface. No wonder master has been so attentive to him all this time."
On the other side, Lin Xing seemed to hear some noises, opened his eyes to take a look, and seeing Jing Shiyu sitting beside him, he yawned and said, "You’re here?"
Jing Shiyu gave a gentle smile and replied, "Yes, I heard my Master Uncle came to find you, I was worried you might be in danger, so I rushed over."
