Meanwhile, on the riverbank of Jiangxi, less than three miles from the military camp.
Sikong Jin lay alone, her hands behind her head, quietly watching the bright moon hanging in the sky, while Diao Ye lay beside her.
I can't remember the last time I quietly gazed at such a beautiful moon.
Each time she went through such a fierce battle, she would feel extremely exhausted, and her mind would become exceptionally calm.
I wonder how my mother and Mo'er are doing?
Hearing the soft moans of the mink master beside her, her head would brush against the peerless handsome face of Emperor Beizun. For some reason, lately she'd been inexplicably thinking of him.
Sikong Jin sighed sadly, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart. A dull ache in her chest made her cough a few times. She subconsciously reached to her side, but couldn't find what she wanted for a long time.
Then it dawned on me that I hadn't brought any alcohol with me.
Actually, she was more afraid of the cold than anyone else. Before, with Ah Xing around, they could keep each other warm. Now that she had no comrades-in-arms, the only thing left to keep warm was alcohol.
She sat up, somewhat annoyed, intending to wash her face in the river to clear her head. However, unexpectedly, her keen ears twitched—
There are footsteps behind me!
somebody is coming!
She turned around immediately, alert, only to see Tuoba Yu's azure figure.
He walked through the desolate night wind, his azure robes fluttering slowly. The pale moonlight illuminated his gentle and handsome face, giving him an ethereal and otherworldly appearance.
He approached Sikong Jin, glanced at her, and then casually handed her a small porcelain bottle. His deep voice carried a warm concern, "Eat this. I know you also took a blow from Xifeng Lie."
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jin couldn't help but cough a few more times. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head and replied calmly, "No need, it's nothing serious."
Tuoba Yu's expression suddenly became complicated. His hand, which had been hovering in the air, remained still as he stared at her for a while. Then, his gaze sharpened, and he pulled Sikong Jin's hand over, placing the small porcelain bottle into her hand.
Sikong Jin looked down at the small porcelain bottle that Tuoba Yu had forcefully shoved into her head. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. She gently pinched the bottle with two fingers, shook it, looked at Tuoba Yu, and said softly, "It's nothing serious. It was just a slight shock from the residual force. There's no need to worry."
"This is a top-grade Qi-restoring pill from the Heavenly Saint Royal Family. It will help you heal your internal injuries. Please accept it. Refusing such a tempting item is unlike you, Sikong Jin. When did you change your ways? How come I didn't know?"
Tuoba Yu also turned his head to look at her, his eyes flashing with a complex and mysterious light. Even Sikong Jin could not see through his hidden emotions, but she vaguely felt that he seemed to be acting a little strange lately.
“I wouldn’t give away an ordinary person so easily.”
Seeing Sikong Jin hesitate, Tuoba Yu chuckled softly again.
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jin narrowed her starry eyes slightly, glanced thoughtfully at the item in her hand, remained silent for a moment, and then said nothing more. She put the item into her sleeve and replied calmly, "Then I won't be polite, thank you."
A faint smile crossed Tuoba Yu's handsome face before he looked away, gazing at the moonlight reflected on the stream before him. A cool breeze blew by, causing the stream to ripple gently, reflecting a lonely and mysterious glow, while the moon in the water remained as still as ever.
"Look at the moon in our Tiansheng, isn't it a little different from the moon in your Dayong?"
After a moment of silence, Tuoba Yu suddenly asked in a low voice.
Sikong Jin straightened up slightly and turned to look at him. She saw that his face was very calm. In the dim moonlight reflecting on his thin and handsome profile, she could vaguely see a hint of loneliness. The cool wind kept blowing his blue robe, and for a moment, he looked a little dazed, which seemed different from usual.
After a long while, Sikong Jin looked down at the bright moon shimmering in the water. After thinking for a long time, she sighed softly, "Actually, isn't the moon the same everywhere? It's just that people's feelings are different. But these days, I do miss the moon in Malan City. It seems that the moon there is cleaner and clearer than anywhere else."
As he listened, Tuoba Yu suddenly raised his head, looking at the bright moon hanging high in the distant sky opposite him. A faint smile suddenly appeared on his handsome face, and his deep tone was inexplicably gentle, "When I heard that you were coming, I was quite surprised. Come to think of it, it seems that we have known each other for quite a while, haven't we? Sikong Jin?"
Sikong Jin, who was watching the moonlight ripple in the water, was taken aback when Tuoba Yu suddenly brought up this matter. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, turn her head, and look at him with some surprise.
Seeing the faint smile on his face, a smile that seemed to carry a hint of joy, I thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It seems we've known each other for quite some time now. Come to think of it, this year seems to be the third year."
The first time she saw Tuoba Yu was in Malan City. At that time, he was also wearing a light blue robe and standing under a blooming peach tree. He truly caught her eye and amazed her.
Hearing her say that, Tuoba Yu smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is the third year. That year, I met you on the banks of the Shenglan River in Malan City. Back then, you..."
Seemingly recalling something pleasant, Tuoba Yu suddenly chuckled, his gentle eyes brightening for a moment as he stared at Sikong Jin with interest and asked, "Is that money pouch still there?"
"purse?"
Sikong Jin looked at Tuoba Yu with a blank expression, as if she had never heard of the word 'money bag' before, and asked innocently, "What money bag?"
Tuoba Yu looked at her and the smile on his lips widened slightly. "Alright, Sikong Jin, stop pretending. You took my money pouch and haven't given it back."
"It's not like your lover gave it to you, why are you so nervous? Besides, I've never done anything underhanded. Do you think I'm that kind of person? I wasn't even tempted when you offered me such expensive pills, let alone a little bit of money. What kind of person do you take me for?"
Sikong Jin glanced at Tuoba Yu with some displeasure, coughed a few times, and then lowered her head to look at the bright moon in the water.
