Chapter 2636: Siege
Lan Yue sat by her side and continued to watch her. He seemed to be lost in thought. After a moment, he reached out and held her little hand. Gu Xijiu was stunned by what she saw. She was about to look again, but the door was closed behind her.
She spent the next few moments looking to the ground as she followed Duan Muyan out of the chamber. After a while, she found herself back in the garden. It seems the man was back to plant more herbs. It was evident that he was growing the herbs necessary to help Lan Waihu improve her condition.
For the entire journey here, Gu Xijiu had gripped her fingers tightly together in order to prepare to launch a spell. She could now kill the person in front of her with her bare hands, but if she did so, she suspected that Lan Waihu’s injury would not be healed.
Since the man was probably just a doctor, Gu Xijiu did not feel the need to kill him. She felt that it was more important for her to head to Tianju Hall first to understand the extent of the situation. Therefore, she turned and left without launching any attacks.
Behind her, Duan Muyan slowly raised his head and stared at Gu Xijiu’s back as she left. His eyes flashed slightly as if he had a sudden thought or inspiration. Once she left, he could not help but smirk. It was clear that he was aware that Gu Xijiu was here. However, it was much sooner than he had expected!
He stared at the herb in his hand, and the herb trembled slightly in his palm. The branches and leaves gently rubbed his palm, as if it was trying to please him. He bent his finger and played with the herb using a nail. He then whispered, "Good."
