Shang Xiuxun was hesitating, then heard Sui Yi say, "If there’s nothing else, let’s find something to do."

Shang Xiuxun: "..."

If it weren’t for the fact that you indeed have an exceptionally elegant and refined demeanor, I would really think you’re a sleazy, unkempt strong guy.

"What is it?" Shang Xiuxun just asked.

Sui Yi gave his sleeve a flick, and a small pile of shredded paper appeared on the table.

Zizheng Qiangrun said, "Puzzle."

Shang Xiuxun: "...."

Felt a kind of "swept off her feet" sensation.

Luo Fang and the others originally wanted to go in and chat with their Master about earlier matters, but after requesting permission, they heard Shang Xiuxun say anything they had could wait until tomorrow...

Alright, the others could only return to sleep; however, Luo Fang appeared somewhat worried. Someone beside him tugged at him, saying, "Let’s go..."

"I’m worried about inside..."

"Even if there’s really someone, since the Field Master is willing to keep them, it shows there’s a reason for her to stay, maybe discussing important business... Surely you know how impressive the Field Master always is."

There were more words left unsaid, such as — even if it’s nothing serious, if it involves a man... the Field Master is of age, if she doesn’t fancy anyone nearby, she might as well find someone suitable outside?

However, most people from the Flying Horse Ranch knew Luo Fang’s thoughts, so they didn’t point it out.

Luo Fang had no choice but to leave, unaware that at the moment, the Field Master inside, "discussing important business," was carefully helping someone with a puzzle...

Who knew how long passed...

The last piece of shredded paper was carefully placed into the final position by Shang Xiuxun. As soon as she placed it down, she felt as if she had accomplished an important milestone in life, relaxing and at ease, soaring to immortality... So, she revealed an extremely satisfied and delighted expression.

Wait, what does this have to do with me? What did I do?

Don’t ask her why, she didn’t even know what she was doing. By the time she realized she was sore all over and utterly exhausted, it was all over.

She couldn’t help but stare at Sui Yi, silently wondering if this person had some bizarre hypnotic skill. He kept making her feel out of control...

Sui Yi noticed her gaze, turned his face, and handed over a cup of hot tea: "Miss Shang, thank you for your efforts."

"It wasn’t too much trouble, just fine..." Shang Xiuxun reflexively responded politely,

but she looked at the map, "What is this?"

"A place on Snow God Mountain where people are detained, the Tower of Curses..."

A tower for holding people, it’s not a Treasure Map, so Sui Yi wasn’t concerned if Shang Xiuxun knew or not.

Yet to Shang Xiuxun, it was apparent why Sui Yi had come to this Gana Grassland.

To rescue someone?

"For someone to make you come to their rescue regardless of everything, they must be extremely important to you... What is your surname, Sir?"

Ah~~ Sui Yi just realized he hadn’t introduced himself to the other party.

"My name is Sui Yi."

This name is so strange... kind of familiar.

Shang Xiuxun pondered for a while but couldn’t think of anything, so she didn’t say much, just glancing at the map, "Snow God Mountain is one of the scariest places in the Western Regions; even the Great Grandmasters from our Central Plains are relatively wary of it... Thankfully, you have other helpers, Sir."

"Yes, thankfully."

Shang Xiuxun initially wanted to help the other person, but feeling powerless, she didn’t say more.

Sui Yi nodded slightly and said, "It’s late, you’re tired, go to bed early."

Shang Xiuxun indeed felt somewhat weary since she wasn’t like Sui Yi and Wu Xie, those Great Grandmasters. She looked at Sui Yi and nodded: "Then I’ll go to sleep first... but there’s only one bed..."

Even though the other party wasn’t an average man, letting him onto the bed or something...

"I won’t sleep, a short rest will do, you go ahead."

Shang Xiuxun hesitated for a moment, then climbed onto the bed, pulled up the quilt, and with the corner of her eye, watched the lamp-lit Sui Yi... He suddenly stood up and walked over... Shang Xiuxun’s heart skipped a beat.

Sui Yi extinguished the oil lamp.

The light dimmed immediately, leaving only the warm glow of the central fire. Sui Yi sat on a chair, quietly.

Shang Xiuxun pulled the quilt around her and closed her eyes.

————————

The next day, the weather was clear, with snow-covered mountains in the distance and lush green grass nearby. Today was the Snow God Festival, but most people had no clear concept of it, some even thought it was just a banquet...

The people from the Morton Tribe invited all the guests out of their tents to attend the Snow God Festival.

The location was not at the Morton Tribe itself, but somewhere slightly north, supposedly there was a special altar.

Sui Yi originally didn’t like such large gatherings, now that the map was in hand, but she still wanted to know if Shi Feixuan and the others had arrived here, so she planned to take a look.
