"Who?"
The woman in black heard the noise and shouted in alarm.
"It's me."
Su Chengyu walked into the depths of the cave, looking somewhat pale. Seeing this, the woman in black said, "You're hurt?"
Su Chengyu nodded, about to speak, when suddenly a mouthful of blood surged up and he spat it onto the ground.
"How are you?" The woman in black hurried over, reaching out to help Su Chengyu but hesitated, deeming it inappropriate given her status, and withdrew her hand.
Su Chengyu noticed her gesture and said slowly, "It's alright, I need to heal my injuries."
Sitting cross-legged immediately, Su Chengyu began to circulate his spell. The woman in black also sat down quietly nearby, unable to assist with her divine sense sealed by the Qingming Sealing Technique, she could only sit in silence.
Hours passed, with nightfall, the cave was lit by flickering flames, and a chill swept in, leaving a thin layer of white frost on the surrounding stone walls.
