Frightened of reliving the shadow from just now, Shu Yao fled the pharmacy in a panic.
Watching this panicked back, the administrator just sneered. Then he put his hand to his nose and sniffed it with relish. The lingering fragrance made him reluctant to let go.
After running out of the pharmacy in a hurry, Shu Yao just buried his head and didn't dare to look back. Unexpectedly, he bumped head - on into a body.
"Sorry, sorry..." Shu Yao apologized repeatedly. He looked up at a handsome young man, then quickly lowered his head, hiding the vulnerable tears about to well up in his eyes.
"It's okay. I didn't hurt you, did I?" The young man was very friendly. His clean and gentle voice was like a gentle spring breeze caressing the heartstrings. Shu Yao shook his head and stole a glance at the man in front of him.
The young man had a handsome figure, clear eyebrows and eyes. He was wearing a simple silver - gray robe, and his black hair was tied up with a silver hair crown, leaving only a few strands of long hair reaching his waist. He was pure and clean, and indeed looked much more pleasing to the eye.
After the young man clearly saw Shu Yao's appearance, he showed a bit of surprise and wonder. He sized Shu Yao up and down thoughtfully and said, "You're Shu Yao, the newly - recruited disciple, right?"
Shu Yao asked in surprise, "How do you know me?"
He considered himself to be the most low - key person in Kunshan, never competing for anything and just going with the flow. How could there be someone who knew him?
The young man grinned, showing his cute tiger teeth. He looked fresh and warm. His gentle eyes curved like the crescent moon as he said, "I've heard from some senior brothers for a long time that there's a new disciple in Kunshan who's as beautiful as a celestial being and even more good - looking than a woman. Now that I've seen you, it's really true."
"Come on, you're overpraising me." Shu Yao forced a stiff smile and then fell silent.
"Shu Yao, you came here to look for medicine for your friend, right?"
This remark once again made Shu Yao incredulous. How did this person also know that he was looking for medicine for Shu Yue?
Just as he was about to ask, the young man preempted him. The young man first looked around for a while. After making sure it was safe, he leaned close to Shu Yao's ear and whispered carefully, "Shu Yao, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, it was Li Nao, the acting head of Kunshan, who ordered the administrator not to give out the medicine."
Hearing this name again, besides feeling disgusted with that stinky Taoist priest, Shu Yao was also extremely angry at Li Nao's despicability.
But speaking of Li Nao refusing to give medicine to Shu Yue, he knew that Li Nao was deliberately targeting Shu Yue.
Then he also asked doubtfully, "You said he's the acting head. That means there's a real head, right?"
"Right. Actually, the real head of the Kunshan School is still in closed - door cultivation. This Li Nao is just like a new official eager to show his power. After he took the position of acting head, he became extremely arrogant. Many disciples in Kunshan are afraid of him."
Shu Yao was still deep in thought when he heard the young man muttering in a low voice, "I'm telling you this in secret. Don't tell anyone else, or I'll be in big trouble."
"Don't worry, I won't. Thank you for telling me. I'll take my leave first." He politely thanked the young man and then left in a hurry.
The young man just scratched his head in confusion and then left without caring anymore.
Now that he couldn't get the medicine, Shu Yue couldn't get treatment. Since Li Nao was the one who caused the problem, Shu Yao could only pin his only hope on Li Nao.
Although Li Nao was only the acting head, he was in charge of Kunshan now, and it was also him who ordered not to give medicine to Shu Yue.
For Shu Yue's sake, he had to take a gamble. Although there might be some things that he hated extremely, for Shu Yue's safety, he was willing to jump into a volcano!
After making up his mind, Shu Yao had been waiting for Li Nao to come back so that he could talk to him. It wasn't until the You hour, when night fell, that he heard Li Nao return to the mountain.
He told the little Taoist priest to take good care of Shu Yue, and then he went alone to face the "storm of swords and guns", regardless of anything just to get the medicine.
Half of the waning moon was covered by the shadow, only vaguely showing a half - string arc. The night sky was infinitely black, so dark and oppressive that it made people breathless.
The wind tonight was extremely cold. It cut across people's faces, causing a sharp pain. A chill went straight to the bone from the inside out.
On his way to Li Nao's wing - room, Shu Yao saw the room shrouded in dim light not far away. Suddenly, he lost his courage and stopped in his tracks.
His heart was hanging high in the air. This feeling of being in limbo made him impatient and at a loss.
It was really not easy for the usually proud Shu Yao to humble himself to beg Li Nao. He hated this kind of scumbag to the core, but when he thought of Shu Yue lying pale and bloodless on the bed, he finally wavered in his most stubborn heart.
After making up his mind for the last time, he took a difficult step again and stepped into this "gate of hell". It seemed that he could see that "ferocious" door beckoning to him like a ghost.
As if bewitched, he took a step forward out of nowhere, but at the moment when he was about to approach Li Nao's door, he was pulled back by a force.
Then, a deep voice penetrated his eardrums, a bit displeased and yet still sharp: "What are you going to do?"
The icy feeling on his hand made his body tremble. First, he noticed the long and delicate hand on his wrist. The skin was as white and transparent as a scallion, and its cold touch was like falling into an ice cellar. Then a chill spread to every corner of his body.
As he looked up at the tall shadow, he saw a red - sleeved robe, silver hair flying, eyebrows and eyes as beautiful as a painting, but also feminine and heartless. The crimson eyes were like the dark and blood - red setting sun in the sky, showing endless complex emotions in his eyes.
"Yan Yijue, why are you here?" Having not seen Yan Yijue for a long time, Shu Yao almost forgot about such a person.
"Don't worry about that. I'm asking you, what are you going to do?" Yan Yijue still tightly held Shu Yao's slender wrist. The force was so great that it left a faint red mark. There was a glint of worry in his sharp eyes.
"This has nothing to do with you. Let go." Shu Yao coldly shook off his hand and rubbed his slightly painful wrist.
"There's a Love - Devouring Gu in your body, so you're my spouse. How can it have nothing to do with me?" He said it as if it were a matter of course, so justifiably that Shu Yao couldn't find any excuse to refute.
Then, he just uttered a few cold words: "Then please remove the Love - Devouring Gu from my body and leave me alone."
After he finished speaking, he saw the careless smile on the man's lips, a bit sarcastic and coquettish. The man said lazily, "Since I planted the Love - Devouring Gu in your body back then, I never thought of removing it. So I advise you to give up this idea."
"Then don't interfere with me. What I'm going to do has nothing to do with you." Just as Shu Yao turned around and was about to leave, he was once again pulled into a chest. Although it was hard, it was as cold as ice against his body.
"Whether it has something to do with me or not is not up to you." Yan Yijue firmly clasped the slender waist in his hand. The body was warm, fragrant and had a wonderful figure, making him unable to let go. He even wanted to possess it.
