Xu Yanwu simply lifted An up, ignoring her struggles, tucked her under his arm, and prepared to return to his room.
"Um... Little Sakura."
Just as he was about to leave, Xu Yanwu suddenly turned back.
Xu Yanwu looked back at Yae Sakura and said, "About Kallen... don't be too anxious for now."
"There'll be a way..."
"After all, a lot of things are slowly getting better." Only after saying that did Xu Yanwu carry An out of Yae Sakura's room.
Yae Sakura was left sitting there blankly in the room, while Higu Maru lay on the floor beside her, yawning.
Yae Sakura touched her face and asked Higu Maru beside her, "Higu Maru, was I... really that obvious just now?"
Higu Maru yawned on the floor and rolled over. "As obvious as it gets... Otherwise, why would you drag that, um... An? Why would you bring An over here?"
"Wasn't it because you wanted to help her?" Higu Maru looked disdainful. "What, you lost the person you loved, so now you plan to help someone else?"
"Shut up."
Yae Sakura said that with a frown.
"Hmph... You're just suppressing yourself right now."
Higu Maru got up from the floor, then leaped into the air. Her enormous body turned into Yae Sakura's shadow and slipped into it.
But before disappearing, Higu Maru still whispered something into Yae Sakura's ear.
"Stop pretending to be obedient here. No matter how harmless you try to look, you were the one who destroyed Yae Village, and you were the one who killed those people with your own hands."
"Oh... as they say in Shenzhou, sooner or later, karma will catch up with you."
"Just wait slowly."
Higu Maru disappeared.
Yet Yae Sakura continued to feel an... uneasy sense of foreboding.
"Kallen... Rin..."
Meanwhile,
