The elder, holding Su Jiyai in his arms, floated gently to his private room. Once inside, he carefully placed her on a soft cushion.
Su Jiyai, still in her wolf form, tilted her head, wondering what the elder was up to.
He acted as though she had a serious injury, even though it was just a tiny scratch that had already healed.
With slow, deliberate movements, the elder took out bandages and some healing ointment.
He treated Su Jiyai's leg like she was on the verge of collapse, gently wrapping the bandage around her paw.
Su Jiyai couldn't help but feel a little awkward about the situation, but she let him continue, not wanting to arouse suspicion.
"There, all better now," the elder said proudly, as if he had just saved her life. Su Jiyai blinked and wagged her tail politely.
After he finished bandaging her, the elder clapped his hands, summoning a few young sect disciples into the room.
