Xiao Xuan left his room, crossed the courtyard, and headed toward Xiao Xun'er's residence.
He did not walk quickly, and his footsteps made almost no sound as they landed on the ground.
As he passed a corner, several maids were tending to the flowers and plants. The moment they saw him, they hurriedly lowered their heads.
Xiao Xuan ignored them and continued onward.
Xiao Xun'er's room was at the very back of the courtyard, with several pale purple flowers planted outside the door.
He knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Xiao Xuan pushed the door open and entered.
Xiao Xun'er was sitting cross-legged on the bed. Most of her clothes were soaked with sweat, and beads of perspiration trickled down her cheeks from her forehead.
Her face was somewhat pale, and her breathing was uneven. When she saw Xiao Xuan, she forced out a smile.
"Brother Xiao Xuan."
Xiao Xuan walked to the bedside and frowned slightly at the sight of her.
"How long have you been cultivating?"
"All morning," Xiao Xun'er said.
Xiao Xuan said nothing.
The cultivation method Xiao Xun'er practiced was an Earth-Tier Cultivation Method passed down by the Ancient Clan. It consumed an enormous amount of battle qi. With her current strength, after cultivating continuously for an entire morning, the battle qi in her body had long been completely drained.
Xiao Xun'er drew a breath, wanting to say something, but before the words could leave her mouth, her body swayed.
Xiao Xuan reached out and supported her shoulder.
"Don't move."
He took a jade bottle from his Storage Ring, pulled out the stopper, and a smooth, round pill rolled from the mouth of the bottle into his palm.
Two faint patterns marked the pill's surface, and it gave off a warm medicinal fragrance.
