The air in the cave is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

It’s Tianyan.

Her face still had a slightly sickly flush, presumably because the poison of the Enchanting Flower still remained in her body, and the injuries caused by Yuchu's last attack before entering the illusion did not seem to have healed.

There was a hole in the side waist of the light red palace dress, revealing the girl's fair and slender waist.

Silence for several breaths,

Tian Yan smiled: "I shouldn't have disturbed you, right?"

Her voice sounded cold and calm, so calm that Xu Yuan felt a little creepy the moment he heard it, like the calm before the storm.

Of course, this is just a metaphor.

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan looked at Tian Yan and replied:

"If I say I'm disturbing you, will you leave?"

"."

The hands hidden under the sleeves of the palace robe were slightly clenched, and the girl bent her eyes and smiled:

"No."

"Then why do you ask this? It's unnecessary."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly: "I'm not disturbing you, just sit down."

While saying that, Xu Yuan took down a skewer of wild boar meat from the campfire:

"Here, here it is, don't you want to eat it too?"

"."

Tian Yan sneered and didn't answer, staring at him without speaking.

Xu Yuan held the skewers upright for a few seconds. Seeing that Tian Yan still didn't pick it up and showed no intention of responding to his temper, he took his hand back and started eating on his own.

The porcupine meat skewers are alternately fat and lean. When you bite into it, the texture is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The unique aroma of spices spreads among the taste buds.

Xu Yuan said softly while eating:

"Well, if you want to eat it, just take it yourself."

Said,

Xu Yuan glanced at Ran Qingmo:

"Ran Qingmo, put your sword away."

Tian Yan had a calm face, gathered up his palace skirt and sat on the big rock aside.

The atmosphere of silence spread inside the cave again.

Ran Qingmo put his sword flat on his lap and stared at Tian Yan warily.

Xu Yuan ate the meat skewers silently.

Tian Yan sat aside and glanced at the two of them with unkind eyes.

The time of a meat skewer,

While Xu Yuan wiped the oil stains on the corners of his lips with a brocade handkerchief, he glanced at Tian Yan and said with a smile:

"Tian Yan, how did you find this place?"

Tian Yan stared at him and asked questions without answering:

"Xu Changtian, you don't seem nervous at all?"

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment and asked with a smile:

"Why should I be nervous? If I am nervous, will you leave?"

When Tian Yan heard this, his beautiful eyes narrowed slightly:

"No."

The second time

Xu Yuan shrugged his shoulders:

"If that's the case, then why should I be nervous? Life has to go on. If you look at it a little more openly, you can at least make your life less uncomfortable."

Tian Yan bit the corner of her lip gently. Listening to him speaking familiar words in this familiar tone, she had the urge to rip off this bastard's head.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Xu Yuan paused for a second, glanced outside the cave, and asked in a low voice:

"There's no reason why you couldn't find us. I guess you ended up borrowing outside help."

"External force?"

The girl's hands under her sleeves were clenched so loudly that they creaked: "What external force?"

"Monster."

"Monster?" Tian Yan frowned.

"."

Xu Yuan stared at Tian Yan for a few breaths and said softly:

"Stop pretending, that Ji Qingyue came to kill me when Ran Qingmo was kidnapping me. It must have been done by your Jiantian Pavilion, right?"

"." Tian Yan was silent.

Xu Yuan shook his head gently:

"I originally thought that you were using the method of inducing them to take advantage of the situation. Now it seems that there should be a cooperative relationship between you. Otherwise, there would be no monsters coming to help you and find us."

Tian Yan's chest began to rise and fall slightly, and after a while, she whispered:

"No."

"What?"

"I said we are not in a cooperative relationship with Gu Yuan." Tian Yan stared at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan was silent for a while, noncommittal:

"Well, even if it's not, it doesn't matter anymore."

While talking,

Xu Yuan picked up another porcupine meat skewer, handed it to Ran Qingmo who was standing aside, and said casually:

"Just know it yourself."

After a pause, he smiled softly at Ran Qingmo again:

"Come"

"Xu Changtian!"

Tian Yan seemed to finally be able to bear it no longer. He let out a coy voice and stood up: "What do you mean?!"

Xu Yuan turned around and stared at the girl in front of him in surprise.

It was very quiet and dark outside the cave, and the flickering firelight in the cave illuminated her angry face.

Xu Yuan asked with a strange expression:

"What do you mean?"

Tian Yan’s breathing was slightly trembling:

"What do you mean? Xu Changtian, you really don't understand what I mean?"

"Understand? How can I understand if you don't tell me?"

"Why can't you understand?"

"."

Xu Yuan took a deep breath, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

Thoughts spread,

After a long while, he raised his eyes and said:

"Is it because of the dream that Yuchu had?"

"Dream?" Tian Yan's eyes made him want to laugh, but it was more of an indescribable sadness.

Xu Yuan looked at her expression, pondered slightly and continued to whisper:

"Are you so angry because at the end of the dream, I asked Yuchu to temporarily trap you?"

Tian Yan breathed rapidly but did not speak.

For a while, there was no sound in the cave again.

Ran Qingmo sat aside with a sword in hand, looking at Xu Yuan and then at Tian Yan, somewhat confused as to what they were talking about.
