Mingyue peeked at the sky from under the tree, watching the light shine through the branches and leaves . She turned around when she noticed a presence . Her expression softened as she saw her brother, Jiang Xiao Tian walking towards her .
"Are you still thinking about what the old man had told us?" Xiao Tian asked .
Mingyue nodded . A frown appeared on her forehead as she was deep in her thought . She recalled the story that the old man had told them . The herbs caused his son to disappear, and his wife was in extreme grief as she had to witness their only son vanished before their eyes . Although he had the miraculous herbs in his hand, he could not heal his wife, or get his son back .
That old man said that the herb was cursed! Anyone who searched for it will have to face something terrible .
"You believe in old Li"s words about his son?" Xiao Tian asked .
Jiang Mingyue stared at her brother for a while before she asked, "Second brother, do you think people could disappear into thin air just like that?"
Xiao Tian let out a small sigh and patted his sister on her soft hair . "I told you that the news about the herbs might not be a credible one . You can listen to it, but you should not believe it . "
Mingyue nodded . The two were quiet for a period before Mingyue spoke again . "Hearing someone talks about it makes me feel hopeful that the herbs do exist . At least it"s real . "
Xiao Tian chuckled . "What? You don"t believe in grandfather"s words when he said that he had seen his master use that herb?"
"That"s not what I mean," Mingyue sighed . "It has been so long since the last time grandfather heard and seen the herbs . Sometimes, I wonder if the story about this herb is nothing but a fairy tale . "
Xiao Tian raised a brow . "And now?"
"It seemed that this tale has turned into a mystery, second brother . " Her lips curled into a playful smile .
Jiang Xiao Tian laughed at her words . He raised his hand to pat his sister on her hair . Just as his hand was about to touch her hair, the girl disappeared, and his hand felt nothing but the air .
Xiao Tian turned around and frowned as he looked at a man holding his sister with one hand, and a crutch at the other side .
"Who are you? And what are you trying to do to Mingyue?"
Before Xiao Tian get his chance to ask, the boy had asked him first .
Xiao Tian frowned . He glanced at his sister . Something crossed his mind when he saw her dazed expression . Slowly, his lips curved into a smile and a soft laugh escaped him .
"What are you laughing at?"
Xiao Tian took a step forward . "You must be Yang Yun . "
Yang Yun frowned as he continued to look at the unknown man with apparent hostility . His hand around Mingyue"s waist subconsciously tightened when he noticed that the man walked slowly to them .
Seeing this, Xiao Tian halted . He turned to Mingyue and smiled . "Aren"t you going to introduce me to him, Mingyue?"
