He had thought that he would be able to find peace in the little bamboo grove and he had not expected that these people would be so audacious as to come to this place.
Fan Zhuo looked at Ah Jing in disapproval, but his heart was clear.
"Ah Jing, if something like this happens again in the future, you can go back to the academy." Fan Zhuo sighed heavily. It could be said that Ah Jing had grown up together with him and Ah Jing had always put Fan Zhuo in charge of everything from a young age. Although Ah Jing was loyal to Fan Zhuo, Ah Jing's mind was not too bright. Jun Xie had treated Ah Jing for so long and Ah Jing's condition had been gradually improving but Ah Jing still chose to believe the rumours and rumours in the academy, which made Fan Zhuo feel rather helpless.
Ah Jing stood in the yard, staring blankly at Fan Zhuo's cold face. He felt like he had been struck by lightning and he clenched his fists tightly, his eyes fixed on Jun Xie.
Jun Xie glanced at Ah Jing and broke off a bamboo leaf from the side to cover her eyes. She then turned around and did not say another word.
The Fan brothers followed Jun Xie back into the house and when they got back, Fan Jin carefully watched Jun Xie's reaction. He saw that Jun Xie's expression was the same as usual, showing no signs of anger.
"Little Xie, what did you mean by that?" Fan Zhuo had seen Jun Xie cover his eyes with a bamboo leaf and he asked curiously.
"Blinded by a single leaf." Jun Xie took out a cup of tea and sipped at it slowly.
The Fan brothers exchanged a glance, understanding each other's intentions.
Jun Xie must have known Ah Jing's enmity towards him right from the start and he knew very well what had happened today. He did not say it out loud, but had only hinted to Ah Jing to remind him.
"Cough, don't take it to heart. I promise that nothing like this will ever happen again." Fan Jin cleared his throat awkwardly. If it had been anyone else, he would have given that person a good thrashing. But Ah Jing had been loyal and devoted to Fan Zhuo for many years and he could not bring himself to punch him.
Jun Xie glanced at Fan Jin and did not say a word.
[Promise that nothing like this will ever happen again?]
The corners of Jun Xie's mouth curled up, but there was no warmth in it.
As expected, in less than two days, the same farce played out again in the little bamboo grove. This time, it was another group of youths who came, and they were all cursing and swearing.
This time, Ah Jing did not even bother to show himself and just allowed the people to curse and scold him.
Coincidentally, Fan Jin was not around and there were only Fan Zhuo and Jun Xie in the yard. Faced with the scolding from the youths, Fan Zhuo was just about to step forward to chase them away when he was stopped by Jun Xie.
"Let them scold me." Jun Wu Xie said calmly.
"You're not angry?" Fan Zhuo stared at Jun Xie's calm little face, and towards his composure, he was filled with admiration.
"I'm listening." Jun Wu Xie said.
"Listen to what?"
"What does the person behind them want to do?" Jun Wu Xie lowered her eyes to look at the tea in the cup. A piece of tender green tea leaf floated in the clear tea, and with a slight movement of Jun Wu Xie's fingertips, the surface of the tea rippled.
Fan Zhuo was slightly taken aback, not understanding what Jun Xie meant.
"The day of the Spirit Hunt is almost here." Jun Wu Xie said as she looked out the window at the lush green bamboo forest.
"That's right." Fan Zhuo did not understand what Jun Xie was thinking.
"It's about time." Jun Wu Xie said as she turned her gaze back. The bamboo leaf had been sharpened and the Spirit Healing Technique had been modified. It was time.
"Little Xie?" Fan Zhuo looked at Jun Xie and he suddenly felt that Jun Xie was a little different from before. The indifference in his eyes was slowly fading away and in its place was a piercing sharpness.
