Sha Xin felt a great sense of foreboding. Gu Xin must have been in danger. Seeing the confused Xia Sizhu, Sha Xin fell into a dilemma.
"Sha Xin, go help Gu Xin! "I'm fine." Just as Sha Xin was hesitating, she was awakened by the distant sound of fighting. She opened her eyes with much difficulty and spoke softly.
Her voice was barely audible, but Shahin heard her say, "But you're still hot, Mistress." Sha Xin frowned.
Xia Sizhu only felt her head ache, and her entire body was powerless and unable to open her eyes. She was only able to say a single sentence, but she actually had to take a long time to recover her breath.
"I can finally see a different expression on your face." Xia Sizhu wanted to laugh, but couldn't even move her lips.
"Mistress, don't talk anymore." Sha Xin looked at the panting Xia Sizhu and asked worriedly.
"I'm fine, go help Gu Xin. If anything happens to either of you, I'll blame myself. If you don't go, don't follow me anymore."
Her eyes no longer had the light they had before, making them seem somewhat gloomy.
"Mistress, be careful." Xia Sizhu was both concerned and threatened him. Shahin furrowed her brows, took her sword, and went out.
Since her master's fever was so high now, she had to find some herbs to reduce it. She would first save Gu Xin before accompanying him in searching for medicine. After all, it was better for the two of them to search for medicine than for one of them.
Sha Xin, who was thinking about ending the battle quickly, didn't see the changes that happened behind her back after she left.
Not long after Sha Xin left, a man slowly walked toward Xia Sizhu. The man knelt beside Xia Sizhu and placed his hand on her forehead.
"Who are you?" Xia Sizhu struggled to look at the unfamiliar man in front of her. She saw a flash of pain and self-blame in his eyes.
How could a stranger look at her with such an emotion? She must have been muddled, to think that the man in front of her had eyes that resembled those of Dongfang Ye's.
At a time like this, she was still thinking about the man who didn't want her. Xia Sizhu powerlessly closed her eyes.
"How did you get a fever?" The man's voice was very low, a voice she had never heard before.
"I'm not close with you, so don't use such a familiar tone to talk to me!"
The angry voice didn't sound intimidating at all from Xia Sizhu's soft mouth.
"Don't touch me!" Feeling the man place his hand on his palm, Xia Sizhu really wanted to say something very imposing, but her voice was still soft and soft.
Following that, Xia Sizhu felt a cool sensation slowly being transmitted from the man's hand into her body.
"Be good and get a good night's sleep, my Zhu!" Xia Sizhu fell into a deep sleep. Before she fell asleep, she seemed to have heard Dongfang Ye's voice.
After changing his appearance, Dongfang Ye kept driving the heat away with his own inner force.
On the other side, Gu Xin and Shaxin had finally gotten rid of the two herbs, but they realized that something was wrong.
"What's going on?" Sha Xin looked around. Why hadn't they arrived after walking for so long?
"We have mistakenly entered the array!" Gu Xin said after having walked a few times without any results.
"Then what should we do? Master is still waiting for the medicinal herbs to save him! " Sha Xin instantly became anxious, and started to crazily hack at his surroundings.
"It's useless. I can't undo this formation, and judging by your appearance, you definitely can't. We can only wait. This formation seems to have a time limit. It will only disappear after a set amount of time."
How could Gu Xin not want to find Master? But there was no way to break this array, so what could he do?
"Are we just going to sit here and wait?" Sha Xin said coldly.
"Otherwise? Rather than wandering around here for an entire night to consume energy, it would be better for you to rest and recharge your strength. After the formation disappears, we won't be at the mercy of others. "
Gu Xin sat on the ground dejectedly, as if he was venting out his frustrations by pulling up the surrounding grass.
The corner of Sha Xin's mouth twitched as she looked at Gu Xin's childish actions.
"Don't worry, Mistress should be safe. Here, this is a jade made from the corner of a Heavenly Stone."
Gu Xin took out a jade pendant from his chest pocket. It was made from the same material as Xia Sizhu's jade bracelet.
"Our Gu family has waited for generations for people chosen by the Heavenly Stone. Once we are born, we will feed the jade pendant with our blood, and connect our souls with the jade pendant.
When we use a jade bracelet made from the heart of a Heavenly Stone to recognize the master, we can sense the position of the selected person and predict whether the master is in danger or not through the jade pendant.
And our generation has to protect the master, the hotter the jade pendant, the more dangerous the master.
I could feel that the jade pendant was slowly cooling down, which meant that not only was Master not in danger, his fever was also slowly improving.
I just don't know the purpose of the person who set up this formation! "
Gu Xin slowly said as she placed the jade pendant back into her pocket, her eyes staring into the distance. It was unknown what she was thinking about.
"All we can do now is wait!" Gu Xin looked at Shaxin and said.
Sha Xin looked coldly at Gu Xin as she sat down. At this moment, she could only wait because Gu Xin's words meant that she couldn't break the formation. She could only wait.
"Which family are you from?" "How come I've never heard you say this before?"
Sha Xin looked at Gu Xin and said. She had never heard of anyone possessing such a thing.
"My family has kept it a secret. When the right opportunity comes, I will tell my master. Unless my master agrees, I will not tell anyone else."
Gu Xin spoke lightly, but Sha Xin could hear the determination in Gu Xin's words.
She had always thought that he was someone who didn't care, but now, her impression of this man in front of her couldn't help but change.
"Stupid girl, I was just leaving you for a while, how did I get a fever? How did you take care of yourself?"
Dongfang Ye's voice was filled with pain, and his eyes were filled with regret. He didn't know that Ah Zhu would suffer so much after he left. Looking at the sickly Ah Zhu, his heart ached.
Dongfang Ye took out a porcelain bottle from his chest and placed the pill into Xia Sizhu's mouth, letting her swallow it.
After that, he hugged Xia Sizhu tightly, afraid that she would disappear again. When he found out the route back to the West Tomb in the Western Tomb North Hall, he changed his mind and went after her with Ling Feng.
He felt that the horse was too slow, so he threw it and sped off. He knew that Ah Zhu would definitely be in a hurry, so he took the small path. Fortunately, there was only one path left, so he found Ah Zhu.
Initially, he thought he could see the lively and jumping bamboo, but at most, his eyes were a little colder. He didn't expect to find that the bamboo had contracted a fever.
For a moment, his heart was filled with self-blame. He should have found Zhu earlier, so that Ah Zhu wouldn't get the fever.
That night, Xia Sizhu slept very unsoundly, talking non-stop in her sleep, her body trembling nonstop as she spoke some words that Dongfang Ye didn't understand.
