"It's good that you're awake. Come, drink a bowl of sobering soup. Sister A Yue just made it for you."
With that, the child carried a bowl over, sat by the bed, and attempted to feed Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan sat up, waved his hand, indicating he'd do it himself.
While silently recalling past events and finishing the sour-sweet sobering soup, Chu Xuan finally looked at the child in front of him and, in a slightly hoarse voice, said:
"What's your name? Where has He Yao gone?"
The child was stunned for a moment, "You know my senior brother?"
Then, feeling a bit shy, he said, "My name is Shuosheng. My senior brother was selected by people from the upper sect and has joined the mountain gate, becoming a disciple of the Daoist temple."
Chu Xuan's initially dim and lifeless eyes showed a hint of surprise. He Yao also joined the sect? Why hasn't he come looking for him in the past few months...
He then nodded and asked, "Was it you and your master who rescued me?"
