42 What Did Huo Junhan Go Through?
Originally, Huo Junhan’s hidden illness was taboo.
However, Yan Bei looked at Shen Yaowei’s clear eyes and thought of how differently his master treated her. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “Rather than saying that my master is sick, it’s better to say that my master has mental demons. His mental demons will flare up every three months on the 15th full moon. Therefore, every time his mental demons flare up, his mind will lose control…”
After saying that, he regretted it.
Miss Shen probably did not understand such a complicated matter.
Yan Bei did not notice that, as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yaowei’s eyes trembled.
Her grip on her dress tightened, but she maintained a confused expression and continued to ask, “Why does he have mental demons?”
On their continent, some people could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and cultivate it to become immortals.
Mental demons were born during the cultivation process. It was most likely because the cultivator had experienced something that shook his mind.
This kind of thing was most likely extremely painful, or even unforgettable.
Had Huo Junhan also experienced very painful things?
Yan Bei slowly shook his head. “I don’t know either.”
The longer a mental demon existed, the worse it would become, like a disease.
According to the behavior of their master when his mental demon acted up, this mental demon should have been planted when he was very young.
Shen Yaowei could not help but be disappointed.
If he wanted to get rid of his mental demons, he first had to know how they were born.
For a moment, a very bold idea appeared in her heart.
Shen Yaowei turned to look at Huo Junhan again and whispered, “Ninth Imperial Uncle is so pitiful. If his illness acts up again, can Brother Yan Bei send someone to inform me?”
Yan Bei’s back went numb upon hearing her address him as “Brother”. He hurriedly said to Shen Yaowei, “Miss Shen, I’m just Master’s servant. You can’t call me Brother.”
Fortunately, their master was asleep now. Otherwise, if he heard Miss Shen call him brother, he would probably not be able to see the sun the next day.
Shen Yaowei nodded obediently.
“The next time Master acts up again, I’ll try my best to send someone to inform you, Miss Shen,” Yan Bei said gently.
Due to the fact that his master was really difficult to understand, he still did not dare guarantee anything.
After that, Shen Yaowei stopped talking and continued to stare at Huo Junhan worriedly.
Yan Bei left the room again.
It was already May, but there was a charcoal fire burning in the wooden house.
Even so, Huo Junhan’s body seemed to be enveloped in an indissoluble layer of cold air.
“The Hell Lotus Fire can’t even dispel the coldness in your body…” Shen Yaowei looked at Huo Junhan’s pale, handsome face and muttered to herself.
The Hell Lotus Fire was a divine fire. Didn’t they say that it could dispel all cold air?
However, the Hell Lotus Fire in his body was no longer of much use to him.
What had Huo Junhan experienced?
The doubts in her heart seemed to have turned into a substantial knife that stabbed into her heart. Shen Yaowei felt a lump in her throat and wanted to cry again.
She grabbed Huo Jun’s cold hand and prepared to tuck it into her arms to warm it.
In the end, she placed the man’s hand on her chest. The man, who had his eyes closed, slowly opened them.
“Ninth Imperial Uncle! You’re awake!” Shen Yaowei widened her eyes in surprise and looked at Huo Junhan.
Huo Junhan felt something warm and soft in his palm and couldn’t help but turn around.
