Zhao Yun was startled. She thought, "Although the moonlight in this illusion is beautiful, it is always full of danger. It is not a place to stay for long. Ye Zhi's tone has a hint of reluctance to part. A woman's mind is really hard to guess. "
Ye Zhi hugged her knees and stared at the moon for a long time. It was as if there was something on the moon that attracted her, making her greedy.
Zhao Yun was not good with words. At this moment, she did not know what Ye Zhi was thinking. She did not know what words to use to start the conversation. "If you say something wrong, it will be awkward for no reason. It's better to keep your mouth shut."
For a moment, the world was quiet, everything returned to a peaceful state. The moonlight was like water, making Ye Zhi, who was immersed in it, appear even more ethereal, like a lonely person in a painting.
Zhao Yun did not know what Ye Zhi was thinking. Seeing that she did not say anything, she felt rather bored. She silently operated her ice and fire true qi. She found that it was as she thought. Her true qi did not listen to her and disappeared without a trace.
After he gained enlightenment in his dream, he felt refreshed and full of energy. Therefore, he did not feel the slightest bit tired. It was just that a man and a woman silently faced each other. Although the distance was still far, the atmosphere was really awkward.
He wanted to close his eyes to rest, but as soon as he did, his Shixiong, Hu Qing and her sister, Shifu, and even the Five Enlightenment people came one after another. They all appeared in his sea of consciousness, making him restless and unable to calm down.
Therefore, Zhao Yun simply opened her eyes and imitated Ye Zhi to look up at the moon. However, she was absent-minded and looked at the moon without interest.
Suddenly she heard Ye Zhi say, "Zhao Gongzi, can you accompany me to look for my brother?"
Zhao Yun turned her head in surprise. Before she could reply, she heard Ye Zhi say, "I, I did not want to trouble Zhao Gongzi. But this illusion is so big that it is difficult to distinguish the direction. Looking for a person is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I don't have any experience in the Dao of Searching. "
Her voice was low and lingering, like a frightened rabbit, anxious and fearful. She was deeply afraid that Zhao Yun would refuse.
Zhao Yun inexplicably felt pity for her. She was a lone woman, how could she be at ease to let her go alone? Without thinking too much, he replied loudly, "No problem! Miss Ye, I will definitely help you find your brother. Besides, I was looking for a companion anyway. It would be best if we could travel together. "
"Ah, that's great!" Ye Zhi smiled, but there were still traces of tears in his eyes, "Thank you so much, Young Master Zhao. If I was alone, there would be nothing to be afraid of. I just don't know that Big Brother's current situation really makes me uneasy. Sigh, back then I told him not to worry, but he was so persistent. "
Zhao Yun said in a clear voice, "Miss Ye's life-saving grace, this Zhao will never dare to forget. What's more, I already owe your Ye Clan two lives, so I'll naturally help you with such a small matter. "
Ye Zhi asked curiously, "Two lives? Where did this come from? "
"Does Miss Ye know Auntie Liu?"
Ye Zhi let out an "Ah!" and almost jumped up. He said anxiously, "You know Mrs. Liu? She's my nanny. How is she now? Why did she disappear? "
Zhao Yun sighed. "She's already dead!"
"What?" Ye Zhi's body swayed slightly. Even though he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't bear this sudden blow. He said with a trembling voice, "You said Mrs. Liu is dead? How could that be? "
Zhao Yun recounted everything that had happened back then in detail. When he talked about how the weasel had bullied Mother Liu, his eyes were filled with rage. He said, "That weasel, I must tear him into pieces to avenge Mother Liu."
A large string of tears flowed from Ye Zhi's eyes. She really couldn't accept that Mrs. Liu had passed away like this. He choked with sobs and said, "If she didn't look for medicine for me, Mrs. Liu wouldn't have met with such a tragic end. I, I really let her down. "
When Zhao Yun heard this, he felt even more ashamed. He thought to himself, "I was saved by Mrs. Liu, but I couldn't do anything. I could only watch her be tortured to death."
Mrs. Liu had already passed away. It was useless to feel sorry for herself. The only thing that could be done was to help Ye Zhi find her brother.
Zhao Yun adjusted her agitated mood and said resolutely, "Miss Ye, don't be too sad. The cold wind at night will hurt your body. You still have to find your brother. Please take care of your body. "
Ye Zhi was still crying. "My mother died early. It was Mrs. Liu who brought me up. She doted on me and took good care of me. If it wasn't for my illness, she wouldn't have to run around and be humiliated by thieves. "
Zhao Yun's mind flashed. He suddenly realized, "So Ye Feng was asking for medicine for Ye Zhi! People with natural Yin Meridians are Ye Zhi, right? Otherwise, why would they be willing to take such a risk and enter the wilderness? Even Manjushri was helpless. What about Ye Zhi's illness???? "
Ye Zhi suddenly got up and threw herself into Zhao Yun's arms. She sobbed, "Young Master Zhao, don't you think I should have died long ago? I've lived long enough, but I made everyone go through so much trouble for me. I even lost my life in vain. "
Zhao Yun didn't expect Ye Zhi to do such a thing. He was caught off guard and was hugged by Ye Zhi.
He wanted to push Ye Zhi's fragrant body away, but when he saw her crying pitifully and her shoulders trembling, he felt pity for her. He couldn't bear to rudely tear apart her desire for protection.
However, he and Ye Zhi only met by chance. Although he owed her a favor, it wasn't related to romantic feelings. Such intimate contact was reasonable, but it was inappropriate.
Zhao Yun wasn't a pedantic person, but at this time, he couldn't help but feel troubled. Ever since he had sex with Hu Qing and her sister, he couldn't help but worry about the two vixens. He felt that his willpower was weak, so he constantly scolded himself in his heart. He even silently promised that he wouldn't have anything to do with other women, so as not to let his Sister Miao down.
However, he felt that he owed the Ye Family a lot. The reason why Ye Zhi was crying on his chest was mostly because he mentioned that Nanny Liu was tortured to death. With such a miserable face and mournful crying, how could she harden her heart?
Ye Zhi's tears fell down in big drops, instantly wetting Zhao Yun's lapel. It also wetted Zhao Yun's heart of stone. He caressed Ye Zhi's soft and fragrant back with both hands and said softly, "Miss Ye, don't be sad. This person has already passed away. It's useless to be sad."
Ye Zhi buried her head deeper into Zhao Yun's chest, "No, I thought that I was indifferent to life and death. I only had a few more years to live, so my heart was like still water. I didn't have any enthusiasm for taking medicine every day. But I suddenly realized that death is so sudden, so fragile, and so difficult to resist. I actually don't want to die. I'm still so young. "
Even ants were greedy for life. It was good to live a little longer. It was easy to say that one was indifferent to life and death, but it was very difficult to do it.
Although Ye Zhi had lived under the shadow of death since she was young, she had the protection of thousands of elixirs and miraculously preserved her life. She was like a flower in a greenhouse that hadn't been exposed to wind and rain. She said that she was indifferent to life and death, but she didn't know the importance of it and didn't know fear.
Nanny Liu's death and her brother's uncertain life and death made Ye Zhi suddenly feel a burst of fear from the bottom of her heart. That was why she desperately hid in Zhao Yun's arms. Without her brother's protection, she was really at a loss.
Zhao Yun gently stroked Ye Zhi's back and said, "It's okay. Don't be afraid. You will definitely live for a long, long time." He couldn't think of any wonderful words to comfort her. All he could do was to give Ye Zhi a real sense of security with his simple blessings and silent embrace.
Ye Zhi was tired from crying. Her eyelids gradually became heavy, but she also felt an unprecedented sense of relief. Her depression was gone, and she quietly fell asleep in Zhao Yun's arms.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but not know whether to laugh or cry. This Ye Zhi was dignified and beautiful, but he had such a crazy action. He could actually fall asleep in a stranger's arms. Had she underestimated his charm, or had she overestimated his self-control?
Speaking of which, Ye Zhi could tear her clothes to bandage his wound, and she didn't mind exposing her jade skin. She should be a person who didn't care about trifles. Sleeping in a stranger's arms was probably not a big deal to her.
A faint fragrance floated in the air, and the warmth was in her arms. Zhao Yun didn't dare to move even a little. Her body was motionless and stiff, so as not to wake up Ye Zhi, who had just fallen asleep. She thought, "This Ye Zhi is really tired. She hasn't closed her eyes since daytime. I'll let her have a good rest. Heh, she protected me just now. It's time for me to protect her. "
Thinking of this, a burst of beautiful thoughts suddenly flew into her mind. She hurriedly dispelled the distracting thoughts and cursed inwardly, "Pei! What kind of relationship do I have with her? Why should I think blindly?"
The next day, the morning sun was slightly rosy. The veil on Ye Zhi's face was dyed with light and color, adding a touch of brightness and beauty to her delicate appearance.
Ye Zhi stretched lazily. While she was still in a daze, she suddenly bumped into Zhao Yun's chest. She suddenly woke up and her face turned red. She hurriedly broke free from Zhao Yun's embrace and ran more than ten feet away. Her chest was heaving up and down.
Zhao Yun was in a half-asleep state. After being disturbed by Ye Zhi, she immediately woke up. She looked up and saw Ye Zhi gasping for breath. She felt extremely embarrassed and stuttered, "Miss Ye, you, you're awake."
Ye Zhi's face was flushed red. She was extremely embarrassed, "I lost control of myself last night. I'm really sorry."
"It's nothing. Miss Ye is too tired. Don't take it to heart." Zhao Yun spoke in a carefree manner, but the lingering fragrance was still there. He couldn't help but recall the charming and gentle feeling of a beauty in his arms. His heart was filled with emotions.
Zhao Yun's words instead made Ye Zhi feel even more ashamed. The so-called 'not taking it to heart' was impossible.
The heavens took pity on her. Other than her elder brother, she rarely had contact with other men, let alone such a shocking thing like sleeping in a man's arms for an entire night.
If it was in an aristocratic family of officials, a woman's reputation would be ruined if she and a man had skin to skin contact like this. Fortunately, she was also considered half an immortal and could cover it up without leaving a trace. However, the strange feeling in her heart would probably never go away.
"It's really strange. Why am I completely unguarded against Young Master Zhao? At that time, he was lying on the ground covered in blood. I fed him 'Golden Dew Nectar' without hesitation. I can still say that I was in a hurry to save him. However, I didn't mind the filth and cleaned his wounds for him. I even used my own clothes to bandage his wounds. Could it be that I didn't have a good impression of him because I saw that he was incomparably handsome? "
It was at this moment that Ye Zhi's mind raced. Her cheeks actually became boiling hot, "What's wrong with me? Last night, last night, I was just worried about my elder brother's safety. It just so happened that there was no one else to rely on. In a moment of anxiety, I went into his arms. What nonsense am I thinking about? "
She gathered her courage and looked at Zhao Yun, "Young Master Zhao, you are a gentleman. Thank you very much. "
Zhao Yun didn't want to continue entangling on this topic, so she asked, "Miss Ye, are you hungry? I see that the strange snake meat on the ground is delicious. I wonder if you know how to cook it? "
