When it came to interacting with people, Yan Zaizen wasn't like most people. He was rather unsociable. During his initial childhood, he had the protection of his parents, the love of his grandfather, and the care of the clan. However, after their deaths, the revealing of his talents, and his subsequent failures that followed, he was treated like an outcast. Everyone pitied him or mocked him. Some even treated him as a fool and laughed in his face. It was because of these events that he wasn't very comfortable with people and why he didn't take Lin Feilin or Shin Xuanji's previous attitudes to heart.

Oftentimes, he would act out for attention by stealing. Such as stealing Uncle Louzen's extra food or Auntie Qinlan's undergarments. Well, the latter was because of his puberty phase. Nevertheless, he stole them. Other times, he would take off without prior notice outside the clan and hide away from his sadness produced by his bleak reality. It was because of this that he came across Han Genji and the subsequent events that happened after which lead to this point. It was because of all these things, that he rarely interacted with people earnestly.

Therefore, when asked to help, he just stared at this pale youth with furrowed brows.

”...” Bai Dongzhe looked at Yan Zaizen with a pleading expression.

”...” Yan Zaizen continued to stare with not a word.

”...”

”...”

”...”

That pleading expression turned awkward and with a trace of fear. Why wasn't he speaking? Bai Dongzhe couldn't help but think odd thoughts. The event just turned into a staring contest as both didn't seem like they were going to utter another word. Yan Zaizen, for his own reasons. Bai Dongzhe, cause he was a little scared.

This continued for a full minute before Ying Sumian decisively broke the silence. ”Young Hero, what he means is, currently we have someone who's injured, as you can see and wanted to see if you have anything which can help the situation. If not, we're still indebted to you.” Her words exhibited her well-trained mind and adeptness towards the situation. Her voice was like a refreshing spring.

”Oh?” Looking at the pale youth once more, then seeing the poisoned wound on his calf, he couldn't help but come to a sudden realization that he was surrounded by poisonous things he wasn't equipped to handle. This scared him a little, urging him to want to leave as soon as possible.

”Should we...amputate?” He hesitatingly suggested. In truth, he didn't know much about poisons and only the very basic of wound treatment. Typically, that involved the usage of Qi, but his cultivation was below even this youth. What could he do?

Hearing his words, Bai Dongzhe's expression fell considerably. Was he truly going to become a cripple to live? Bai Wangzhe had stayed silent during this entire event, continuing to funnel Qi into his brother's body relentlessly to repress the poison, and even he started to look pale from exhaustion. However, his expression also fell when he heard Yan Zaizen's suggestion.

”I see, thank you Young Hero, but we'll try to find another way.” Ying Sumian said, obviously taking Bai Dongzhe's feelings into account.

Originally, Yan Zaizen wanted to take his leave immediately, but now he felt somewhat guilty. He didn't know why, but he felt like there was a way for him to help this young man, but he just couldn't think of it. It was like an itch at the back of the head that he just couldn't scratch.

Lowering his head, he started concentrating his full mental faculties. He sat and started ruminating on what he could do.

Seeing this, Ying Sumian once more decisively gave an order. ”I'll reset the formations that were broken by the Katori. Xing Xuehan and Su Fengyan, dismantle the Cerulean Python for materials and store the excess in the spatial bag. Afterward, we'll focus on the Katori.” Her words woke up everyone. She excluded the Bai Brothers because of their predicament and walked to the perimeter to once more repair the formation.

Xing Xuehan wanted to object, thinking they shouldn't be resting and just leave. What if another Katori comes along? However, she looked at the sitting Yan Zaizen and her heart calmed. As long as he was here, they were safe. Su Fengyan also looked towards Yan Zaizen, but her expression was filled with a strange glint.

The practiced movement of a hunter team in dismantling a disaster beasts assets was shown in full at this moment. It only took them twenty minutes before the Cerulean Snake's important bits — eyes, gallbladder, venom sack, and fangs — were removed without damaging the corpse. If Yan Zaizen saw this, he'd be genuinely surprised. Later, the corpse and contents were stored in their spatial bag which Ying Sumian had previously given them.

After an hour, Ying Sumian came back, with a slightly wary expression. Setting up formations twice in a brief period of time was rather draining even to an Essence Formation cultivator like herself. Her eyes looked towards Yan Zaizen, and realizing he hasn't moved from his spot while mumbling some words to himself, she left him alone to help with the Katori corpse.

The Katori corpse was even harder to dismantle, and it had too many important pieces. After realizing they didn't have the strength to take damage the head, they gave up and stored the entire body into the spatial bag, and begun to rest.
