For some reason, Lin Jiangnian slept exceptionally soundly that night even though he was in a strange place.
Perhaps it was the fatigue caused by the physical injury, or perhaps it was the peaceful aroma wafting through the room, but when Lin Jiangnian woke up, it was already bright outside.
I feel comfortable all over!
The symptoms of pain all over the body have obviously weakened a lot. Although the body is still weak, it is not as weak as yesterday.
The injury is recovering well.
Lin Jiangnian sat up, his body still empty. He sat cross-legged on the bed, trying to circulate his internal energy, but to no avail... There was no internal energy.
The Xuan Yang internal force that originally filled his body disappeared without a trace.
Unbelievable.
If it weren't for the traces of martial arts training he had practiced over the past six months, Lin Jiangnian would probably be no different from an ordinary person now.
Could it be that the injury was too severe this time and all his internal strength was gone, and all his previous efforts were wasted?
At this point, I felt that it was not very reasonable.
Although the injury was severe, it was not a serious one. The biggest problem was probably the poison from the Huami grass.
However, I've never heard of Huami grass causing the complete loss of inner strength. So, what's going on here?
Lin Jiangnian sat on the bed, pondering for a while. He hadn't come up with an answer, so he didn't dwell on it any further. He didn't know where he was, and the person who had saved him hadn't appeared yet. Since they had saved him, they naturally wouldn't harm him. His injuries hadn't healed yet, so he might as well make the best of it.
Lin Jiangnian put on his clothes, stood up and opened the door.
Outside the door, the cold wind was howling.
When I woke up one night, the yard was covered with snow again.
It snowed last night, and it seemed even colder this morning. The wind blew fiercely, biting my skin with a chill that penetrated my skin.
Lin Jiangnian didn't feel cold. Although he had lost all his internal strength, the foundation of his Xuanyang Heart Method practice over the past six months was still there. His physical fitness had improved a lot, so he was not too afraid of the cold wind.
Just as I walked out of the room, not long after, Jinxiu, dressed in a brocade long dress, appeared under the eaves.
"Master, are you awake?"
Jinxiu walked closer and spoke with a chuckle.
There was still a faint smile on her delicate face, and her eyes were bright and smiling as she looked at Lin Jiangnian.
The voice is crisp and soft, with a hint of gentleness.
It sounds very comfortable.
Lin Jiangnian looked at her. Her face was gentle, soft and approachable, completely free of the panic she had when she fled last night.
She just stared at Lin Jiangnian quietly, as if she had completely forgotten what happened last night.
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her twice and chuckled, "Yeah, I slept really well last night."
Jinxiu's eyes flickered slightly, then quickly disappeared: "Sir, would you please drink the medicine first?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at the medicine Jinxiu brought, then glanced at her lightly and raised his eyebrows: "Why didn't Miss Jinxiu take the initiative to feed me today?"
Jinxiu was startled, as if she hadn't expected Lin Jiangnian to bring this up. After a pause, she said with a half-smile, "Sir, can't you take the medicine on your own today?"
"But, I want Miss Jinxiu to feed me?"
Lin Jiangnian spoke with a smile.
The smile on Jinxiu's face froze slightly, and a barely perceptible strange look flashed across her face.
But then, a smile quickly returned to his face.
"Since the young master wants me to serve and feed you medicine, I will obey."
Jinxiu walked forward slowly, brought the medicine closer, stirred it gently with her bare hands, and scooped a spoonful of medicine close to Lin Jiangnian's mouth.
The movements were light and gentle, as if one was carefully caring for a sick patient.
Lin Jiangnian looked into her eyes, trying to see something from her face.
This maid named Jinxiu is a little weird!
Especially last night's behavior made Lin Jiangnian even more alert.
However, Jinxiu didn't seem to have any other plans. She fed Lin Jiangnian the medicine gently. After she finished, she smiled sweetly at Lin Jiangnian and prepared to leave.
Lin Jiangnian's heart moved, and he subconsciously reached out to hug her slender waist. But Jinxiu seemed to be prepared. Before Lin Jiangnian could make a move, she took a step back and avoided Lin Jiangnian's hand.
Then she winked at him and said, "Master, the medicine is finished. You should have a good rest first. I'm leaving now!"
After Jinxiu left, Lin Jiangnian half-closed his eyes.
This beautiful thing is not simple!
When he just made the move, Lin Jiangnian could feel that Fang's martial arts skills were not weak.
A magnificently decorated house, a maid with excellent martial arts skills... Who is the master of this courtyard?
Not long after taking the medicine, Lin Jiangnian felt drowsy again, so he went back to his room and took another nap.
When I woke up again, it was already afternoon.
The sleepiness disappeared, I felt relaxed all over, and I felt that my body had recovered a little.
But then, Lin Jiangnian gradually realized that something was wrong. His sleepiness in the past two days was not normal.
After careful consideration, he thought of the medicine Jinxiu had sent him, which was probably related to this. Lin Jiangnian's visible recovery from his injuries was probably also related to this.
So……
What exactly does she want to do?
Lin Jiangnian didn't understand what was going on, so he stood up, pushed the door open and walked out.
It was quiet outside the door. The heavy snow had stopped long ago, but the weather was still cold.
Lin Jiangnian wrapped himself in his clothes and strolled casually through the courtyard. The courtyard was extremely quiet and deserted, with no one in sight, and Jinxiu was nowhere to be found.
After walking around the courtyard twice, Lin Jiangnian came to the door of the courtyard's front hall.
Right now, he doesn't know where he is.
When he reached the front gate, there was still no one there. However, when Lin Jiangnian got closer, he discovered that the gate was locked.
Can't get out!
Are they going to lock him up here?
Lin Jiangnian took two steps back and glanced around. The courtyard wall wasn't very high. In the past, he could have easily jumped over it. But now, with no internal energy left, he couldn't do it.
Lin Jiangnian quickly realized something... The other party probably had already calculated that he couldn't leave here!
So, what is her purpose?
Did the other party save him because of Lin Hengzhong's unreliable favor, or was there some other reason?
After thinking for a long time, there is still no result.
Lin Jiangnian finally gave up.
Since I can't leave, I won't leave for now.
He turned around and followed the same path back to the courtyard where he lived. There was heavy snow in the courtyard, and each step he took left a line of deep and shallow footprints on the snow.
As he pushed open the door, a warm breath hit him. Before Lin Jiangnian could close the door, he suddenly noticed a figure in the room.
A figure in white was sitting quietly at a table not far away, looking at him indifferently.
That's a woman!
A woman with a very cold expression.
Her face was as cold as the autumn moon, her eyes were calm and deep, her appearance was stunning, yet she revealed a coldness that seemed to be indifferent to the world.
It's hard to describe, it was like it came from deep within his bones, causing the temperature in the entire room to drop sharply.
It was a snowy winter day, but the other person was only wearing a thin white coat.
As if not afraid of the cold.
It looks cold.
She sat quietly at the table, her eyebrows as dark as distant ink, her dark and bright pupils fixed on Lin Jiangnian, one of her bare hands resting lightly on the edge of the table.
There was also a sword on the table.
One glance is worth a fortune.
From the moment Lin Jiangnian entered the room, her eyes had been fixed on him, as if locked onto him. Neither cold nor indifferent, neither agitated nor disturbed.
"Are you Jinxiu's master?"
While the other person was looking at him, Lin Jiangnian was also looking at the cold-tempered woman in front of him.
Very strange, never seen before.
But the other person's cold temperament, and the vague innate aura in his every move, all indicate that he is of noble status.
I’m afraid it’s from a big background!
The woman in white didn't say anything, but continued to look at him quietly. However, a strange look seemed to flash across her brow.
Lin Jiangnian had already guessed something... The appearance and temperament of the woman in white in front of him were almost the same as the master mentioned by Jinxiu.
What I didn’t expect was that the master Jinxiu was talking about would actually be a woman?
"My name is Lin Jiangnian. May I ask your name, young lady?"
Lin Jiangnian walked over slowly, bowed and asked.
The woman in white lowered her eyes slightly, looking at him with some surprise, but still said nothing.
Those bright eyes were cold and calm.
Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised. Could this woman be a mute?
"Since the young lady is unwilling to speak, I won't ask..."
Lin Jiangnian walked to the table nearby and sat down as well: "No matter what, this time it's all thanks to the young lady for coming to the rescue!"
"If it weren't for the girl's rescue, I would have been doomed."
Speaking of this, Lin Jiang sighed.
Lin Hengzhong's unreliable favor this time almost hurt him badly.
The woman in white had bright eyes. After looking at Lin Jiangnian for a long time, she finally spoke.
The tone was cold and without any emotion.
“No need!”
So he's not mute?
Lin Jiangnian looked up, but saw that the other person's eyes were still looking at him without blinking, very calm and frank.
Lin Jiangnian felt strange, but he didn't show it. He continued, "I have a few questions for you, young lady. Are they appropriate?"
The woman in white raised her eyes, and after a moment, she said in a cold and silent voice, "Speak."
"Girl, why did you save me?" Lin Jiangnian asked tentatively.
The woman in white glanced at him and said, "You don't know?"
Lin Jiangnian sighed: "Because of my dad?"
She didn't say anything.
"So, the girl knows my father?"
The woman in white still didn't speak.
But it's equivalent to the default.
"I wonder what your relationship is with my father?"
Lin Jiangnian asked again.
I thought the woman in white would remain silent, but unexpectedly she said calmly: "It doesn't matter."
It doesn't matter?
Lin Jiangnian frowned in confusion. It doesn’t matter?
Then why does she owe Lin Hengzhong a favor?
Don't understand.
But no matter what, Lin Jiangnian breathed a sigh of relief after confirming the other party's identity.
"No matter what the connection between the girl and my father is, she saved my life this time. I, Lin Jiangnian, will always remember this favor!"
Lin Jiangnian looked at her and said seriously, "I owe you my life. If you need me in the future, please let me know. If I can do it, I will do my best to help you."
No matter who the other party is, he saved his life after all. Although Lin Jiangnian is not a good person, he will naturally not sit idly by and watch the life-saving grace.
Besides, Lin Jiangnian doesn't like to owe favors to others.
The cold eyes of the woman in white were fixed on Lin Jiangnian. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the look in her eyes seemed to be getting more and more wrong.
Especially after hearing Lin Jiangnian's words, the woman in white was silent for a long time, with a slightly strange look in her eyes: "You want to repay me?"
Although Lin Jiangnian was puzzled, he nodded. "I must repay the favor of saving my life. If you can be of any use to me in the future, I will do my best to help you."
The woman in white fell silent again. After a while, she looked at Lin Jiangnian deeply and said, "Remember what you said."
"What do you mean, young lady?"
The woman in white did not speak again. She grabbed the sword on the table and walked out the door.
He walked very coolly.
In the blink of an eye, he left the room and disappeared.
Lin Jiangnian was left staring at her departing back, frowning slightly.
This girl is a little weird!
What is her origin?
And what he just said... let him remember what he said?
What?
To repay a favor?
Very strange woman!
…
Night falls.
Jinxiu, who had disappeared for a whole day, appeared outside Lin Jiangnian's room at some point.
Knock on the door.
"Sir, can I come in?"
The voice is crisp and polite.
"Come in."
Jin Xiu, dressed in a plain blue brocade dress, walked into the room carrying a medicine. Seeing Lin Jiangnian sitting at the table, she placed the medicine on the table and looked at Lin Jiangnian with a smile, "How is your health, young master?"
“Much better!”
"That's good."
Jinxiu chuckled and glanced at the medicine on the table: "Then, sir, do you still need me to feed you medicine?"
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Are you willing?"
"Sir, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Anything is fine."
Jinxiu covered her mouth and chuckled, blinking her eyes, her eyes bright: "What if this servant is unwilling?"
"You should tell the truth."
"This slave girl is telling the truth."
"Then you can tell a lie."
“…”
Jinxiu smiled brightly, her delicate features radiating a charming smile. She gently picked up the medicine on the table and winked at Lin Jiangnian: "Since the young master wishes me to serve you, then I will continue to serve you the medicine."
"Sir, open your mouth~"
“…”
After feeding him the medicine, Jinxiu cleared the bowl of soup but didn't leave in a hurry. She sat aside, her chin resting lightly on her hand, and looked at Lin Jiangnian with interest: "Sir, did you meet my master today?"
Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and asked, "Are you talking about the girl in white today?"
"Yes!"
Jinxiu chuckled and nodded: "Sir, what do you think of my master?"
"What aspect are you asking about?"
"What about appearance?"
Lin Jiangnian thought for a moment and said, "She is so stunningly beautiful, so rare in the world."
Although the woman in white was a little cold, she was extremely beautiful with an extraordinary temperament. There was no flaw in her every move.
Especially the temperament on his body, which is definitely not cultivated in an ordinary family, but seems to be innate.
"Sir, you think so highly of my master?"
Jinxiu seemed a little surprised, her eyes brightening slightly.
"Miss Jinxiu, do you think I've gone too far?"
"No."
Jinxiu chuckled and nodded in agreement: "My master is indeed the most beautiful woman in the world."
Lin Jiangnian did not comment.
The woman in white was indeed one of the most beautiful women in the world, but if you were to ask who was the most beautiful woman in the world...
I beg to differ.
"That……"
Jinxiu's eyes moved, as if she suddenly thought of something. A hint of mischief flashed across her face, and she looked at Lin Jiangnian again: "Can I ask you something, sir?"
"You ask."
"Sir, did you just say that the master of the Kua family is stunningly beautiful?"
"Um?"
"That……"
Jinxiu looked into Lin Jiangnian's eyes, then suddenly leaned closer, whispered softly, and smiled.
"Sir, do you want to sleep with my master?"
“…”
It's a new month, and during the double monthly ticket period, please give me your monthly ticket~
