After Su Yueyin's short reply, the room returned to silence and the cold air around increasingly felt piercing to Yan Xu.
The warm light from the sun that went through the nearby window was already unable to warm the body of Yan Xu who was already almost frozen due to the pressure of the atmosphere of the room.
Su Yueyin looked at Yan Xu as if saying that she was strange while tilting her small head.
Seeing that, Yan Xu scratched his cheek as he said, "Aunt Yue— ...."
He immediately stopped instantly because his tongue could not move, even the sound from his throat did not want to come out as if hampered by something.
To be honest, Yan Xu suddenly felt fear had almost taken hold of him.
Yan Xu did not know why he felt afraid.
After all, he should have gotten used to the cold demeanor of Su Yueyin. However, there was a slight difference to the one he had often seen before.
When the two met after a few months, it felt like the cold gaze was getting more and more intense and piercing all the way to his bone marrow.
In other words, Yan Xu felt that there was a sensation of danger whether it would come from Su Yueyin who was opposite him.
'We've made that deal for almost a year, even I've delayed it too long when the administrative work has been done. For some reason, Aunt Yueyin's cold gaze also grew more intense.'
'Is he upset? Or maybe he wanted to punish me, just like how Master always beat me up even for no apparent reason?'
Such was the thought of Yan Xu who was still shivering coldly in his heart.
Plok!
Two slender hands Su Yueyin gently patted both sides of Yan Xu's cheeks and instantly— ....
In a microsecond, Yan Xu's brain was spurred on and recalled what he had said during the expedition to the Southern Continent.
"Bruusshhh!!!"
He immediately reactivated the sensor that would give him a deep cut when touched by the opposite sex!
Seeing how Yan Xu's body was reacting, Su Yueyin immediately put away her hand and nodded a few times. Even so, the cold expression on his face remained the same and did not have the slightest fluctuation.
The blood-coughing Yan Xu quickly took a handkerchief from the pocket of his dimension, then he wiped away the bloodstain that was on his face while cursing loudly at Su Yueyin.
'It turns out to be true, he must be angry that I have delayed him for too long!' that was how Yan Xu who still maintained a relaxed expression on the surface thought.
On the other hand, Su Yueyin was increasingly convinced that Yan Xu's mental demon illness still had no cure. He was already determined to try to treat her with poison someday, of course he needed to prepare himself first.
The two unsynchronized thoughts of the two people filled their heads respectively.
If only humans could easily pronounce what was on their minds, these two people should be able to avoid each other's ongoing misunderstanding.
However, the two thought of each other differently with a topic that was far from what they should— how they each thought.
Yan Xu hurriedly put on a warm expression as usual, assuming that that had never happened at all.
He cleared his throat once and said, "Before we start with the refining process of medicinal ingredients there are some things that should be discussed together first."
Only, his skin looks pale with lips with a color that seems to look that he is lacking blood due to lack of control of internal wounds before. He was too scared to make a small mistake and caused excessive bleeding.
Su Yueyin was slightly startled inside, yet she still looked at Yan Xu coldly as usual.
To be honest, the first time he saw Yan Xu's appearance just now, he still couldn't believe it. This is Yan Xu we are talking about, at least he thought that Yan Xu's cultivation base was deeper than what he saw now.
Given how savage and cunning Yan Xu's behavior on all creatures, it is still not possible that he is just pretending as if what is in front is genuine. A cunning person like this, it was impossible to come out from his deep hiding.
No wonder Yan Xu chose to always behave like there was nothing wrong with him.
According to Su Yueyin, Yan Xu simply did not want the other members of the Wind Peak to see how he had been in pain all along.
Just a few seconds after Yan Xu stopped, Su Yueyin spoke again, "What do you want to say?"
Su Yueyin's cold face still looked unconcerned on the surface, yet in her heart said another. He was very curious about what Yan Xu wanted to say.
The two of them still looked at each other and judged each other with their various kinds of thoughts.
"To be honest, Disciple wanted to apologize in advance because our deal was delayed until now."
After saying that, Yan Xu lowered his head with a regretful expression which of course was a fake with the aim of drawing sympathy from the other party.
So far, his actions had been so calm and stable that there had been not the slightest unnecessary fluctuation. He did not want the other party to know that there was anything urgent back then, of course including he was extremely frightened right now.
Regarding Yan Xu's apology, Su Yueyin did not give much of a response.
"Oh, sure. Everyone has their own business, so it's not a problem."
"Sure, the Disciple is very grateful for his understanding."
Yan Xu cupped his hands together and saluted. His eyes showed no signs of change in emotions. He is still as solid as a rock.
"However, every debt will always have a debtor. If it's anyone else, I'm afraid they'll kidnap and then torture you first before collecting the debt."
Su Yueyin said it coldly. However, in both beautiful eyes without defects, can be seen the pupils slightly shrink which means there are fluctuations in emotions.
Although Yan Xu pretended not to notice it, he had already caught it as a death alert a moment ago.
However, he still agreed with Su Yueyin's words. If it was a person he knew, Yan Xu knew that he would be beaten in all sorts of immoral ways as Aunt Yueyin had said.
He could not help but look at Su Yueyin attentively, his eyes gradually getting softer, then he said, "Murid will always remember Aunt Yueyin's words."
"Only this is also beyond the will of the Disciple. However, Disciple is just an ordinary human being who still follows the will of the heavens for various affairs during his life."
Yan Xu shook his head gently and sighed naturally.
The method of drawing sympathy from the other party still he used, unfortunately Su Yueyin was unaware of the intent of each of his actions.
Of course it was because what they thought was completely different. The path of the conversation was already like the east direction of Yan Xu, but Su Yueyin walked towards the south.
