In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

Her gaze shifted between Su Han and Lu Xueqi, lingering for a moment on Su Han. Seeing that he was full of energy, she breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief, then resumed her spoiled demeanor, "I'm starving! Su Han, hurry up and order some food!"

Seeing that she was full of energy, Su Han smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Breakfast was still just congee and side dishes, but with a few more delicate pastries added.

The three ate in silence, the atmosphere slightly more natural than the previous night, but still permeated with a subtle silence.

After the meal, Su Han said seriously, "We need to stay here for at least two or three more days."

Junior Sister Lu needs time to stabilize her injuries, and I also need to get myself back to peak condition.

During this period, we took turns keeping watch and regulating our breathing, and did not go out unless necessary.

Biyao, especially you, don't be playful and cause trouble.

Upon hearing this, Biyao retorted, "Hey! I'm not a three-year-old child who knows what's important! Besides, what's so fun about Heyang City? I don't want to go out!" Despite her words, her eyes darted around, clearly showing that she wasn't entirely without curiosity about this bustling town.

Lu Xueqi nodded in agreement: "I will follow Senior Brother Su's arrangements."

Thus, the daytime passed slowly in the monotonous practice and meditation.

Su Han spent most of his time meditating, further consolidating his cultivation and digesting the insights gained from the battles of the past few days.

Biyao was able to sit still at first, but after half a day she couldn't stand the loneliness. Sometimes she would get up and pace around the room, and sometimes she would go to the window and curiously look at the street scene outside through the crack.

As the most prosperous city within a hundred miles, Heyang City was bustling with noise during the day, with vendors hawking their wares, carriages and horses, and conversations filling the air. For her, a girl who had lived in the secluded Ghost King Sect for many years, this was full of novelty.

Lu Xueqi remained seated on the bed, focusing on healing her injuries through internal energy cultivation.

Her cultivation technique was profound, her spiritual energy was pure, and the pills provided by Su Han were exceptionally effective, so her internal injuries healed faster than expected.

However, the wound on my left arm takes time to heal, and it still aches and hurts occasionally when I move.

In the afternoon, Su Han finished a round of meditation and, seeing that Bi Yao was really bored, took out a Go set from his simple bag and said with a smile, "Sitting here is boring, Bi Yao, would you like to play a game?"

Biyao's eyes lit up, and she immediately came over: "Great! But you're such a blockhead, playing chess in such a rigid way is definitely no fun."

How about we have something lucky?

Su Han chuckled: "What's the prize?"

Biyao smiled slyly: "Whoever loses has to keep watch all night! How about it?"

Before Su Han could answer, Lu Xueqi, who was sitting quietly to the side, frowned slightly and said softly, "No, Senior Brother Su also needs to rest."

Biyao snorted: "Sister Lu, you feel sorry for him? Don't worry, his cultivation is profound, what's one night without sleep?"

Besides, who knows, maybe he'll lose?

Su Han didn't want to argue at this time, so he said, "I have already made arrangements for the night watch, so there is no need to change them."

However, a game of chess can be a good way to pass the time, so let's skip the prize.

Biyao pouted, but didn't insist any further, and enthusiastically set up the chessboard.

Her chess style is agile and unconventional, often resulting in unexpected moves.

Su Han, on the other hand, is calm, composed, and has an exceptionally strong sense of the big picture.

The two players were evenly matched in chess skills, and for a time they were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

Although Lu Xueqi remained silent, her gaze occasionally fell upon the chessboard.

She also has some knowledge of chess and can see its subtleties.

Seeing that Su Han always dealt with Bi Yao's unexpected moves with composure and took each step with careful planning, he secretly nodded in approval.

Biyao's resourcefulness also gave her a slightly different impression of this demonic witch.

It seems that they are not just evil and cunning as rumored.

The game ended with Su Han winning by a narrow margin of half a point. Bi Yao, frustrated, pushed the board away, saying, "That doesn't count! I didn't see that move clearly. Let's start over!"

Su Han laughed and said, "Once a move is made, there's no going back, Miss Biyao. Your skill at cheating has really improved."

"Who cheated!" Biyao blushed and glared at him reproachfully.

Their interaction naturally revealed an indescribable familiarity and closeness.

Lu Xueqi silently withdrew her gaze and closed her eyes again to regulate her breathing.

However, my mind was no longer as calm as before.

She suddenly remembered that her senior sister Wenmin had mentioned that her junior brother Su Han had traveled down the mountain many years ago and seemed to have had some interaction with people from the Ghost King Sect.

It seems this is the girl Biyao.

There seems to be a deep connection between them.

The next two days were spent in this atmosphere of apparent calm but underlying turmoil.

The three took turns resting and keeping watch.

Su Han and Bi Yao occasionally played chess or exchanged a few words in hushed tones.

Lu Xueqi remained silent most of the time, focusing on healing her wounds.

Although there was no conflict between him and Biyao, they didn't really talk to each other either.

They simply maintained a polite distance.

By the evening of the third day, Lu Xueqi's internal injuries had stabilized.

Although not fully recovered, it no longer affects normal movement.

As long as you don't get into any more violent fights, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Su Han's cultivation level has also been fully restored.

He has even made some progress due to the trials and tribulations of the past few days.

Biyao, unable to contain herself any longer, was already clamoring to leave this "suffocating little house".

"We will leave Heyang City tomorrow morning."

Su Han made a decision: "Get a good rest tonight and set off early tomorrow morning."

That night, the moonlight was as clear as water.

Perhaps because they were about to leave, all three of them found it difficult to fall asleep.

Biyao leaned against the window, looking at the bright moonlight outside, and suddenly murmured: "The moonlight is like water, the water is like the sky, the night is shrouded in mist and gauze... The moonlight in Heyang City is quite a sight to behold."

Upon hearing this, Su Han walked to her side and looked out the window.

In the distance, houses stood in rows, their outlines hazy in the moonlight.

In the courtyard of the nearby inn, the shadows of the trees sway gently, creating a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.

He said "hmm" softly.

Lu Xueqi hadn't fallen asleep either, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Listening to the faint chirping of insects outside the window, and the barely audible breathing of the two people in front of the window.

She suddenly felt that this small room and these three days of strange "cohabitation" were...

This might become an extremely special and unforgettable memory in her long cultivation journey. (End of Chapter)
