"Jiujiu, why have you come back again?" Sikong Mo asked in surprise.
Ye Jiu retorted, "If I hadn't come back, would you have kept your injury a secret from me?"
Sikong Mo remained silent.
Ye Jiu said to Si Bei, "You should leave first; I'll handle the wound."
"This…" Si Bei hesitated, looking at Sikong Mo for confirmation.
Ye Jiu snapped, "What, are you afraid I'll eat him?"
"No, I…" Caught between his master's heart and his own concerns, Si Bei hesitated, unsure whom to obey.
Fortunately, Sikong Mo intervened to ease the tension, "Si Bei, you should go out first."
"Yes." Si Bei agreed immediately, leaving without turning back.
Reaching out, Ye Jiu helped Sikong Mo deal with the wound. From the traces left by the wound, it was clearly not new, yet she had no idea how long it had been injured, nor how he had managed during this time.
