Zhong Haoran still said nothing. He shook his head slightly, looked around, then once again raised his index finger to his lips, signaling her not to make a sound. Then he pointed at the Sky Mending Pill in Zhong Peihan's hand and at Zhong Peihan's mouth, indicating that she should take it quickly!
Xiao Hua, watching from afar, understood clearly. Zhong Haoran wanted Zhong Peihan to take the Sky Mending Pill before she noticed anything unusual about him, lest she refuse the pill because of the price he had paid.
"Perhaps... my thoughts were somewhat... too cruel?" A trace of regret rose in Xiao Hua's heart, but he immediately smiled. "Without weathering wind and rain, how can one see a rainbow? Zhong Haoran, if this delays anything for you, this Xiao will bear it all! Let it count as the price of your kneeling before this Xiao and making this Xiao understand certain things!"
Sure enough, just as Zhong Haoran had expected, Zhong Peihan placed all her attention on the Sky Mending Pill. She had yearned for this item for who knew how long. With her cultivation about to be restored, where would she have any spare thoughts to notice anything else?
"Good! I'll take it now!" Zhong Peihan smiled until her eyes became two crescent moons.
Zhong Haoran said nothing and nodded slightly.
"Haoran, you have to stand guard for me!" Zhong Peihan said sweetly, wearing a rare look of dependence.
Zhong Haoran said nothing and nodded slightly.
"Then I'm taking it?" Zhong Peihan asked with a smile.
Zhong Haoran said nothing and nodded slightly.
Seeing that Zhong Haoran still would not speak, Zhong Peihan found it a little strange. Zhong Haoran, meanwhile, was becoming anxious. He pretended to look to the side and repeatedly pointed at the pill.
