Bai Xianyu was slightly stunned.
After Xie Xingyun applied the medicine for her, he carefully placed her leg on the couch.
âDonât move when you sleep.â
Bai Xianyu glanced at his gentle movements and felt like he was some fragile porcelain.
She nodded and said perfunctorily, âThank you.â
Then, she covered herself with the blanket impatiently and turned her back to him.
The cold wind outside the window blew in through the gap, lifting a few strands of long hair that were spread on the pillow. Only the tips of her small ears and half of her flawless face could be seen.
Xie Xingyun stood by the bed and stared at her emotionlessly.
Bai Xianyu closed her eyes and opened them again. She said worriedly, âGreen Pearl and Bai Li are my family. You canât hurt them.â
Xie Xingyun said, âThen who am I to you?â
Bai Xianyu was silent for a moment. âSomeone dispensable.â
The surrounding temperature plummeted, and a cold aura spread out from Xie Xingyun.
His lips moved slightly. âWhat a⦠dispensable person.â
Bai Xianyu closed her eyes again and stopped talking.
After a long while, the sound of the door closing could be heard.
Xie Xingyun left the inn and a few guards bowed to him from afar.
There were also a few men in black who had been thrown beside a big tree in twos and threes. The one who was leaning against the tree, unconscious, was Green Pearl.
âYoung Master, the guard beside Fifth Miss Bai is a little troublesome. Although we had used some poison, he still escapedâ¦â
Xie Xingyun said calmly, âWhere did he flee to?â
The guard pointed at a location. âItâs the forest in the southeast. Commander Xiao Zheng has already gone after him.â
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Xingyun got up and chased after him in that direction.
A few guards bowed respectfully and watched as their Young Master plunged into the forest.
Then, the roars of wild beasts came from inside, but they were quickly replaced by wails.
Even a few trees along the way had fallen!
The dull and sinister sounds made oneâs hair stand on end.
âYoung Master actually chased after him personallyâ¦â A guard was puzzled. âCommander Xiao Zheng is a top assassin thatâs rarely seen in a hundred years. He became a commander before he was 20 years old. Young Masterâs martial arts are even better than Commander Xiao Zhengâs. When he was young, he was even taken to the battlefield by the Prince of Nanzhao. Itâs an overkill for these two people to chase after one person.â
Another guard said, âCanât you see that Young Master is in a bad mood? He has been screaming miserably along the way. Heâs probably venting his anger.â
âSigh⦠The word âLoveâ is really hard to guess.â
Bai Xianyu woke up very early the next day. The first thing she did when she woke up was to look for Green Pearl.
But almost as soon as she opened her eyes, the door was pushed open.
There was a faint darkness under Xie Xingyunâs eyes. He did not seem to have slept well last night.
She watched him approach. âWhy arenât they back yet?â
Nothing abnormal could be seen from Xie Xingyunâs expression. It was as if nothing had happened last night. âLetâs go first. They will take the carriage over.â
Bai Xianyu frowned, âArenât we going over in the carriage?â
He glanced at the girlâs ankle. âYour leg is no good. Iâll carry you there.â
Bai Xianyu,ââ¦â
âYouâre carrying me there? This place is at least a few hundred kilometers away from Buddha Temple. Thereâs no need to be in such a hurry, right?â She wanted to refuse.
Xie Xingyun glanced at her gently and slowly. âSitting in a carriage will make it harder for your wound to heal. 1 originally wanted to take you there on horseback, but you sprained your ankle, so Iâll just have to carry you there.â
Bai Xianyu felt that something was wrong.. âWhy are you in such a hurry?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
