Bab 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.
