Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Without Hong Lian’s orders, the remaining nineteen people did not dare to chase after Su Yingxue. They supported Hong Lian. Hong Lian’s eyes were red and she could not open them. The burning pain made her cry non-stop!

She clenched her fists tightly, her sharp nails piercing into her flesh. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, “Su Yingxue, you and I are irreparable!”

Su Yingxue concealed Zi Wei in her private chamber. Both of them were injured, with Zi Wei’s injuries being particularly severe.

She retrieved the medicine box she had brought and took out all the medicines made from Blood Clotting Grass.

The scent of blood emanating from Zi Wei was overpowering. Su Yingxue approached the bed and commanded, “Take off your clothes.”

Zi Wei didn’t move.

Su Yingxue, holding the medicine, repeated, “Hurry and undress. I need to apply the medicine for you!”

How much longer did he intend to endure such serious injuries?

In the dim light, a hint of crimson appeared on Zi Wei’s cheek.

“Zi Wei, are you being disobedient?” Su Yingxue’s expression grew serious, and her tone became firmer.

Zi Wei promptly removed his clothing.

She had spoken with the authority of a master, leaving him no choice but to obey her command.

Su Yingxue sighed as she applied the medicine. “Your old wounds haven’t even healed yet, and now you’ve acquired new ones. When will you stop getting injured?”

She looked at Zi Wei’s chest and back. His originally perfect figure was now without a single piece of good skin.

There were many wounds caused by knives, spears, swords, and halberds.

There was also a very ferocious scar on his chest. One could imagine how much pain he had suffered at that time.

Su Yingxue remembered her carelessness earlier that day. She had already sensed the presence of the Silver Moon Pavilion’s people, yet she allowed Hong Lian to exploit the opportunity to attack her.

Filled with guilt, she apologized to Zi Wei, “I’m sorry. If 1 hadn’t gone to clean the sword, you wouldn’t have been so gravely injured.”

“No,” Zi Wei shook his head. Protecting her was his responsibility.

“What do you mean ‘no’? Listen carefully when I apologize!”

“Yes,” Zi Wei muttered in a hoarse voice.

Su Yingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief after tending to his injuries.

As Zi Wei dressed himself, the dark purple light in his eyes remained fixed on her. “Your injuries.”

Su Yingxue noticed a few cuts on her arms from Hong Lian’s sharp claws.

“They’re not deep,” she replied nonchalantly.

“I’ll take care of them,” Zi Wei stated calmly.

“Alright.”

Su Yingxue handed him the medicine and gauze, and Zi Wei proceeded to bandage her wounds.

Throughout the process, Su Yingxue clenched her teeth and realized that there was a reason Zi Wei suffered so many injuries, many of them were likely self-inflicted due to his violent tendencies.

Once Zi Wei had finished, he saw Su Yingxue biting her lip, her face slightly pale. He was concerned and asked, “Are your injuries serious?”

Su Yingxue shook her head. “The injuries are minor, but you were a bit rough, Zi Wei. In the future, if I’m not around, remember to go easy on yourself. Don’t compound your injuries when others have harmed you.”

Zi Wei’s heart trembled strongly. His focus wasn’t on the injuries but on Su Yingxue’s words. If she wasn’t around in the future…

A crack appeared in Zi Wei’s otherwise cold eyes. “You… Not here?”

“There will inevitably be times when I’m not by your side. You must take care of yourself,” Su Yingxue earnestly advised.

“No,” Zi Wei replied in a cold tone and disappeared.

Su Yingxue was taken aback. She didn’t realize that her words had offended him.

Did even assassins have tempers?

However, she didn’t have time to dwell on his mood. She had more important matters to attend to.

She carefully stored Chu Yihan’s Qingfeng Sword and immediately set out to find Princess Sheng Ping..
