\nThe old man turned his head to look at Ning Shu and noticed her pale face. “Injured?”
He immediately grabbed Ning Shu’s wrist, took her pulse, and looked at her with slanted eyes. “How did you get yourself into such a mess?”
Ning Shu asked, “What are you doing here? What about the junior brothers and sisters? You just left them like that and came running?
“What if something happens?”
“Okay, okay, stop being so noisy. I arranged for your junior siblings to be placed in a farmer’s home.” The old man said, “I couldn’t shake off this restless feeling lately. I felt something had happened to you, so I came over to see.”
Ning Shu exhaled in relief.
“What’s the matter with you? Didn’t I tell you not to face powerful ghosts head-on?” said the old man in a bad mood. He then took out a pill and gave it to Ning Shu. “Take it.”
Ning Shu somewhat hesitantly ate something like a clay pill. She suddenly remembered the compass and told the old man about its strangeness and that a dragon actually flew out of the compass.
