"Mhm..." Fen Qin turned away once more to finish the herbs. Xue Yahui didn't know if it was a good thing or not. He still couldn't read her mind. He had set the tray down, watching her do her work without anyone disturbing her.
'It's like she blocked the entire world from her.' Xue Yahui thought and continued staring at her.
Fen Qin could sense that she was being watched, but it did not bother her. She was watched all the time when she was younger. Her childhood was never as pleasant as they all assumed it would be.
Letting the medicine cool, Fen Qin sat down at the balcony part of her home. Pulling out a book before she sat down, she started turning the pages as Xue Yahui watched her from afar. Feeling a bit annoyed now, she hadn't been stared at for the longest time. "Do you want something or can I just have you leave now?" Fen Qin slammed the book down onto the table. Looking at Xue Yahui who smiled seeing that she could show a bit of her emotions.
"I don't want anything, but you did give me something amusing to see. I'll come by again soon to check up on you." Xue Yahui waved off going to the door then closing it behind him.
Fen Qin sighed looking to see how arrogant he was now. 'Just because I invited you into my home doesn't mean that I accept you completely.' Fen Qin went back to reading her book that she wanted to finish.

Xue Yahui walked along the pathway of Fen Qin's home. He could remember where the traps were, but he didn't mind if he got caught again. Seeing how he was starting as a good friend with Fen Qin.
Hearing a few light footsteps, Xue Yahui went to the footsteps where he came across two men who were immortals. They were watching Fen Qin from afar, but they weren't planning anything. It was more like they were just watching her from afar to inform someone.
"That's her?"
"We finally found her."
"We have to inform them about her being here."
They two men were stopped by Xue Yahui who had knocked them unconscious. "You both will have to go though me before messing with my friend." Xue Yahui stood up looking down to the two. Taking out a small bottle, he had the two take one pill each. "Fairy pine, you both won't remember anything that you saw or where you've been." Xue Yahui dragged the two men out with him.
He sighed seeing how Fen Qin didn't seem to sense them at all. He clicked his tongue a few times, dragging the men away with him. 'You need to be glad that there's someone looking out for you.' Xue Yahui started thinking about how vulnerable Fen Qin could be.
