Inside the inn, Akatsuki was quietly standing in front of the window with Baihu in her arms. She was looking at the scenery outside while patiently waiting for Ye Fan to come back.
At this time, it was drizzling outside the window.
The drizzle was like silk. Occasionally, the wind would blow in through the window and fall on Akatsuki's face, making it feel cold.
A layer of mist had condensed on the crystal mask. It was misty and sparkling.
There were very few people on the street. It was extremely quiet, without the hustle and bustle from before.
Akatsuki liked this kind of weather very much.
She felt that the rain could make the entire world feel refreshed and peaceful.
Every time it rained, she would stand by the window and enjoy this rare scene of rain by herself.
But at this time, she wasn't in the mood to enjoy the rain in front of her.
Ye Feixue's appearance was like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples after ripples.
Thinking of Ye Feixue's warm hug when she saw Ye Fan, Akatsuki bit her lower lip under the mask.
She suddenly began to feel jealous of Ye Feixue.
Not because of anything else, but because of Ye Feixue's courage.
Compared to her, she would blush when she looked at Ye Fan, and her heart would beat wildly, let alone take the initiative to hug Ye Fan.
This was something she didn't even dare to think about.
But Ye Feixue was different from her. This dazzling woman didn't hide her feelings for Ye Fan. She dared to love, she dared to hate, she dared to do what she wanted. She was many times better than her.
Coward. Akatsuki scolded herself in her heart.
Ye Feixue could hug Ye Fan, so why couldn't she?
When she saw Ye Fan later, she would definitely throw herself at him like Ye Feixue and hug Ye Fan.
It's decided. Akatsuki secretly decided.
Creak …
Just as Akatsuki was letting her imagination run wild, the wooden door of the room was pushed open from the outside. Ye Fan, who was wearing a white robe and a mask, slowly walked in from the outside.
Seeing Ye Fan return, Akatsuki blushed under the mask, her heart beating rapidly.
She turned around and looked straight at Ye Fan. She gathered her courage and prepared to throw herself at him like Ye Feixue did.
"It's raining outside." Ye Fan didn't notice Akatsuki's strange behavior. He turned around and closed the door as he spoke to Akatsuki.
Akatsuki's heartbeat quickened as her chest heaved up and down.
She did not even hear what Ye Fan had said.
She decided that when Ye Fan turned around, she would throw herself at him.
However, the moment Ye Fan turned around, Baihu Xiao Zhao jumped out of Akatsuki's arms and threw herself into Ye Fan's arms.
Ye Fan took off his mask and rubbed Baihu's head with a smile.
Baihu began to lick Ye Fan with her pink tongue.
Ye Fan dodged with a smile.
"You … you're back." Akatsuki opened her mouth and said to Ye Fan.
Xiao Zhao's action instantly swept away all the courage she had just gathered.
In the end, she did not take this step.
"En, I'm back." Ye Fan looked up at Akatsuki and smiled as he played with Baihu in his arms.
"You sent Feixue home?" Akatsuki scolded herself for being so useless as she walked to the table and poured a cup of hot tea for Ye Fan.
"En." Ye Fan, who was holding Baihu in his arms, answered and sat down at the tea table. He put his bag aside and reached out to take the fragrant tea from Akatsuki.
"What's wrong?" Ye Fan took the tea and looked up at Akatsuki. "Why is your face so red?"
"No … nothing." Akatsuki's eyes flickered as she forced herself to be calm.
"Are you sick?" Ye Fan asked with a frown.
"No." Akatsuki said as she pretended as if nothing was wrong and sat across from Ye Fan.
"Give me your hand." Ye Fan put down the teacup and said to Akatsuki.
"What?" Ye Fan's words made Akatsuki immediately nervous.
"I'll take your pulse and see if you're sick." Ye Fan said to Akatsuki.
Akatsuki was from Dongying and it was very likely that she would fall sick because she was not acclimatized to the environment.
This woman had a tenacious personality and even if she was sick, she would not tell him.
"I'm fine, how could I be sick?" Akatsuki said to Ye Fan.
"Be good and give me your hand." Ye Fan said again.
The more Akatsuki refused, the more he felt that Akatsuki was sick.
Ye Fan's' be good 'warmed Akatsuki's heart.
She bit her lips and placed her slender hands on the table in front of Ye Fan.
Ye Fan gently pressed two fingers on Akatsuki's snow-white wrists and then extracted a trace of spirit energy from his sea of vital energy and slowly entered Akatsuki's body through her meridians to check on her physical condition.
This trace of spirit energy was so thin that Akatsuki did not even notice it.
After Ye Fan touched her, Akatsuki's heart started beating wildly again.
Ye Fan looked up at Akatsuki and did not say anything.
"You … you know how to take pulses?" In order to calm her heartbeat, Akatsuki changed the topic and diverted her attention.
"Amazing, right?" Ye Fan smiled.
He was also trying to ease the atmosphere.
Akatsuki smiled and did not say anything.
After a while, Ye Fan withdrew his spirit energy and moved his hand away from Akatsuki's wrist.
"How is it? What illness do I have? "Akatsuki asked with a smile.
"You don't have any illness." Ye Fan said with a smile.
Idiot, it's lovesickness.
Akatsuki thought in her heart and took her wrist back.
"Tonight, let the kitchen make a big bowl of ginger soup for you and let the waiter bring in a brazier. Also, don't touch cold things. Understand? "Ye Fan said as he picked up his teacup and drank a mouthful of tea.
Akatsuki's face turned red all the way to her neck.
She did not think that Ye Fan would say this to her.
"You know quite a lot." Akatsuki whispered to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan smiled and untied the bundle on the table.
Inside the bundle were three half-foot long thousand-year-old ginseng, two hundred-year-old ganoderma lucidum, four Tianshan snow lotus and more than ten high-quality caterpillar fungus. All of them were extremely rare and precious medicinal materials.
Although these things were extremely precious, they were nothing for the Ye Family who was a medical family.
"Where did these things come from?" Akatsuki asked Ye Fan.
"Feixue gave them to Xiao Zhao." Ye Fan said as he took out a ginseng, folded an inch and put it in the palm of his hand and handed it to Baihu who was in his arms.
This was thousand-year-old ginseng and its medicinal properties were very strong. She could not eat too much at once, otherwise it would be too nourishing.
The last time Onigirō and Akatsuki gave her ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, Xiao Zhao ate it for almost a month before she finished it.
Baihu first sniffed with her nose and then began to nibble.
"I can see that your relationship is not ordinary." Akatsuki looked at the various precious medicinal materials in the bundle and said to Ye Fan.
"There is one thing I did not tell you. She is not only my savior, but also my relative in my previous life. Of course, our relationship is not ordinary." Ye Fan lowered his head to feed Baihu and said to Akatsuki.
"She is your relative in your previous life?" Akatsuki asked in surprise.
"In my previous life, Eldritch and Feixue both belonged to the Ye Family. If she is not a relative, what else can she be?" Ye Fan said as he raised his head and looked at Akatsuki.
"No wonder, no wonder." Akatsuki suddenly understood.
No wonder she felt that their surnames were so coincidental. One was called Ye Bufan, and the other was called Ye Feixue. So they were a family.
"The shadow ninja will arrive at Tianchi as early as tonight, or tomorrow at the latest. He will pass on a new order to Sato Kawa Kai and Fujita Tsuyoshi. I will leave for Tianchi in two hours. You and Xiao Zhao stay here and wait for me to come back." Ye Fan lowered his head and stroked Baihu's fur as he said to Akatsuki.
"You are going alone again?" Akatsuki frowned and asked.
"It is better for me to go alone." Ye Fan raised his head and said to Akatsuki, "You know that Fujita Tsuyoshi is good at Qimen Dun Jia, and he was born with Yin Yang Eyes. His eyesight is very strong. Even I can only observe them from a high altitude. If you go with me, you will be easily discovered by them. By then, all our efforts will be in vain. "
Akatsuki pursed her lips and nodded at Ye Fan.
"After I leave, you and Xiao Zhao stay here. Don't go out. If you need anything, just ask the waiter," Ye Fan reminded Akatsuki.
"When will you come back?" Akatsuki asked.
"That depends on when the shadow ninja will arrive," Ye Fan answered Akatsuki, "Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow."
"Then you must be careful. Come back as soon as you hear the news," Akatsuki said with concern.
"Okay." Ye Fan nodded.
…
After noon, Ye Fan left the small town on a cloud with a backpack on his back. He headed towards the direction of Changbai Mountain.
He covered hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye. After ten minutes, Ye Fan arrived above Tianchi.
He wanted to make sure that Sato Kawata and Fujita Takeshi were still there.
At this time, Fujita Takeshi was still meditating with his legs crossed. The man in blue, Sato Kawata Takeshi, looked impatient. He was half-lying on a big rock, eating a fat chicken while drinking wine.
After confirming that the shadow ninja had not arrived, Ye Fan returned to the residence where Qinghu stayed the other day.
It was a hundred miles away from Tianchi. It was neither too far nor too close. He could hide there and eavesdrop on their conversation with his keen sense of hearing.
After using the broken wooden planks to build a simple barrier against the rain, Ye Fan sat down cross-legged and untied the bundle on his body.
The backpack contained the food and water that Akatsuki had prepared for him.
Cooked beef, roasted chicken, fat duck, tender goose, and a big water bag were enough for Ye Fan to eat for three meals.
What made Ye Fan even more dumbfounded was that Akatsuki had brought him a big pot of Nu 'er Hong.
He knew what Akatsuki meant.
At this time, it was drizzling. It was cold and wet here. Akatsuki, who was very careful, prepared Nu 'er Hong for him not to relieve his boredom, but to drive away the cold.
Although she knew that Ye Fan did not need strong wine at all with his cultivation, she still put the pot of wine in the backpack.
Whether he needed it or not was one thing, but whether he prepared it or not was another.
Ye Fan took out a bag of cooked beef, opened the oil paper, pinched a few slices of beef, and threw them into his mouth. He picked up the pot of wine and took a sip.
It was a special feeling to be alone on this mountain with dense vegetation. Listening to the rustling of the rain, eating cooked beef, and drinking old Nu 'er Hong.
