Oblivious to Ming Tianmei's inner turmoil, Yu Xuan continued speaking.
"I need your answer about the thing you said, and I also want to… oh? Are you even listening? What the—!"
His words cut off abruptly.
Right in front of him, Ming Tianmei's eyes lost focus. Her body swayed slightly… and then she fainted while still standing.
Yu Xuan reacted instantly, catching her before she lost balance. He carefully laid her on the bed, frowning at the oddly conflicted expression frozen on her face.
"…This is getting ridiculous."
A trace of worry surfaced as he checked her condition with his spirit sense.
"Qi deviation?" Yu Xuan muttered, genuinely baffled.
"What the heck? How can she suddenly suffer a random qi deviation now of all times?"
Nothing about the situation made sense.
With no immediate danger present, he sat down beside the bed, crossing his legs and waiting. Though he was pressed for time, this was something he couldn't simply ignore.
Nearly an hour passed.
