"Xi'er, Senior Gu saved our lives. What's a few Dragon Burial Roots compared to that? If it weren't for needing to find the Life-extending Spirit Grass for you, I would have given him all our treasures."
"But..."
Mu Xi's voice weakened.
"It was my stubbornness to go out and play that got you injured..."
"Silly girl."
Mu Feng's voice softened.
"It's only natural for a brother to protect his sister. Besides, if we hadn't encountered danger this time, we wouldn't have met someone as extraordinary as Senior Gu."
Gu Sheng heard this and his eyes flickered with surprise.
Indeed, he had hidden his cultivation, appearing as an ordinary cultivator. He hadn't expected Mu Feng to sense something amiss.
In the next room, Mu Xi leaned against the headboard, her face pale.
She looked at her brother who was adjusting his breath, her eyes full of guilt.
"Brother, your injury..."
"It's nothing."
Mu Feng waved his hand and gave a reassuring smile.
