However, the other party remained silent for a long time. Just when Yulin thought they would not speak again, the person suddenly spoke up.
"You are not useless."
The voice was soft but firm.
Yulin found this person quite interesting. Despite being beaten by so many people earlier, they had not uttered a word, as if they did not care about it at all.
"Which peak are you a disciple of?" Yulin asked curiously. "Why did those people want to hit you?"
The other person remained silent, only breathing lightly.
"Is it because of the Lotus Pendant?" Yulin became even more curious. "Where did you hide the Lotus Pendant?"
She had observed for a long time and saw that the person had no chance to hide the Lotus Pendant at all.
With their eyes closed, the other party softly replied, "Behind the mountain, at the bottom of the spring."
Yulin was taken aback.
She did not expect them to be so honest. Despite being attacked by so many people earlier, they had never revealed the whereabouts of the Lotus Pendant. Why did they tell her as soon as she asked?
Yulin felt a tingle of curiosity inside her. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "Why... why are you telling me?"
"Aren't you afraid I will report you?"
The other party replied softly, "Telling you, I'm not afraid."
Not afraid to tell me?
Yulin felt a strange sensation in her ears. What kind of reasoning is this?
Propping herself up with her arms, she inexplicably said, "Have we met before?"
The other person kept their eyes closed and softly replied, "We have not met."
"Then why do you..."
Yulin didn't know what to say. She always felt that the other person's trust in her was a bit too high, as if they had known each other for a long time. But she was sure she had never met them before, and they didn't seem to recognize her either.
"I have only been in the sect for two years," she said softly. "I haven't met any senior sisters from the Inner Sect."
Yulin nodded. She had forgotten that there was a significant difference between an Inner Sect Disciple and an Outer Sect Disciple. If they had known each other, they would have recognized each other at a glance.
She glanced at the other person and noticed they looked quite young, probably not older than fifteen. A sense of pity rose in Yulin's heart. After thinking for a moment, she took out a bottle of Superior Healing Medicine from her pocket.
"You are injured," she explained. "I saw earlier that your wounds are severe. If you don't take medicine soon, your Spirit Mansion will be damaged."
"This is Superior Healing Medicine." She pushed the medicine bottle into the other person's hands. "You can take it without worry; it's safe."
The other person's eyelashes fluttered slightly. "Why are you giving this to me?" Their voice was low, tinged with a hint of unnoticeable grievance. "We don't even know each other."
Yulin smiled. "But now we do, don't we?"
"My name is Yulin," she introduced herself. "Daughter of the Sect Leader from the Qing Shan Sect."
"What is your name?" She looked at the other person.
The other person was silent for a moment before softly saying, "Yin Yuchen."
"Yuchen."
Yulin nodded, "I remember."
"Mm."
Yin Yuchen closed his eyes and stopped speaking.
Yulin didn't disturb him either.
She rested her chin on her hand, looking at him.
He was very handsome.
His eyelashes were long, his nose was slightly upturned, and his skin was very fair, making him look quite appealing.
Yulin couldn't help but swallow.
She felt a bit like kissing the tip of his nose.
But she didn't dare to.
He looked so fragile that she feared she might scare him.
Yulin sighed and took out a book from her storage bag, quietly starting to read.
The forest was very quiet.
The wind blew, rustling the leaves.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on them.
Yin Yuchen secretly opened his eyes and silently watched Yulin.
Yulin was engrossed in her reading, as if forgetting that someone was beside her.
Yin Yuchen rested his chin on his hand, continuing to watch Yulin.
He observed her flipping through the pages, frowning, and then smiling softly.
He couldn't help but smile back.
Yulin looked at him, a playful thought rising in her heart.
These years had been lonely as snow for her; her consciousness had drifted like mist, encountering too many people and things.
