Seeing Jing Tian'ao suddenly withdraw, Xuan Yuan Ling's eyes flashed with a cold mockery, which landed on Jing Tian'ao's back like a thorn.
...
Inside the room, Huxin was already dressed and standing inside, but the coldness in her eyes was like the ice shards of December, instantly freezing the entire room.
Liu Yuren walked to her opposite side, speaking gently yet with concern.
"I know your innocence remains intact. That person is merely putting on a show to stir up trouble and then benefit from it."
Liu Yuren's astute and precise analysis suddenly reminded Huxin of Nalan Mingqing.
The coldness in her eyes seemed capable of dripping ice shards.
"It seems you all are quite calculating. I only know that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Those who are self-righteous are merely mantises armed with blades; in the end, they are just breakfast in the eyes of others!"
"Breakfast?" Liu Yuren looked at Huxin with some surprise.
Does this breakfast mean morning meal?
"You can leave! I will remember this favor of unblocking my acupoints. As for when I repay you, that is up to me to decide. Is there anything else?" Huxin's tone was cold and indifferent, her usual aloofness now mixed with a hint of detachment and indifference.
Liu Yuren smiled helplessly; even a mere hint of his exquisite face held a captivating charm that could shock the world.
But for Huxin, it mattered little which half of his face was good or bad!
"What about Qing Yan?" When Huxin mentioned Qing Yan, her small hand hidden beneath her wide sleeves unconsciously tightened into a fist.
Ouyang Pingtian! Xia Jinzhi!
She remembered deeply! No matter how much suffering Qing Yan endured, she would repay that damned mother and daughter tenfold! But before repaying them, she would not take their lives!
The suffering Qing Yan experienced must be repaid tenfold!
"That girl has my Revitalizing Elixir, so her life is not in danger; it's just the wounds on her face and a few fatal injuries on her forehead that are not optimistic. Although I am knowledgeable in medicine, I am not a miracle worker. I might as well tell you the truth: even if she recovers in the future, there will be sequelae. As for what those sequelae will be, we will have to wait and see."
When Liu Yuren spoke to Huxin, there was an inexplicable sense of ease and casualness.
Perhaps outsiders saw this girl as strange and peculiar, but he found her genuinely cute and inexplicably attractive, making him recall everything that happened with her countless times before falling asleep at night.
This feeling was something he had never experienced in his five years of military service.
Before meeting her, he only thought about the nightmare of being disfigured at the age of thirteen; nothing else occupied his mind.
However, after getting to know her, he inexplicably stopped thinking about that nightmare and instead focused on everything about her during the day.
"I understand." Huxin did not say anything more; those four simple words contained all she wanted to express and all the actions she was about to take.
"What do you plan to do? I've already taught Ouyang Pingtian a lesson; she..."
"Was that really a lesson? It was just a bit of physical pain... It won't matter after a while, or if it hurts too much, she'll faint and feel nothing. Let her feel the pain while awake—both physically and mentally—pain so intense that it's worse than death; that's what a lesson is. From now on, you don't need to worry about things that don't concern you!"
Huxin coldly interrupted Liu Yuren's words, wearing a smile that seemed more like a smirk. At that moment, however, it gave off an unsettling feeling.
Liu Yuren understood what she meant. He knew that if she wanted revenge, it would likely be catastrophic... At the very least, anyone who dared to stand in her way or say another word would be lucky to survive.
"Fine, you can handle those two women yourself. I believe Xia Jinzhi won't dare to make any moves for now after seeing Ouyang Pingtian like this."
"Liu Yuren, you're so annoying! I've been awake all night and I'm dead tired. I just want to relax after unblocking my acupoints, yet you're here rambling on and refusing to leave! Do you want me to chase you away with a stick?" Huxin was in a bad mood all night and felt like killing someone.
Her heart was completely occupied by the injured Qing Yan. But she also knew that Yao Tai was currently treating Qing Yan's injuries. If she barged in, it wouldn't benefit Qing Yan at all. Qing Yan needed rest; with her numerous injuries, she would need at least a month to recuperate. Moreover, Liu Yuren had just mentioned that even if Qing Yan survived tonight, she might remain unconscious for some time because there was still Qian Se Fei's poison gas in Huxin's room. This poison gas had seeped into Qing Yan's body through her wounds. If Liu Yuren hadn't arrived with Yao Tai in time, Qing Yan would have undoubtedly died.
"Let those two old women save them." Huxin suddenly changed the subject and spoke up.
Liu Yuren was momentarily taken aback and then smiled helplessly.
"Save them? Do you think the Revitalizing Elixir in my hand is a cure for typhoid?"
"If I don't save her, how can she watch Ouyang Pingtian and Xia Jinzhi get punished? I enjoy watching dogs fight! But it's not about saving them; you can... handle it as you see fit."
Huxin smiled coldly at the end of her statement.
In that moment, her eyes seemed to be shrouded in boundless darkness, an indescribable aura of menace slowly seeping from her gaze, quickly filling the entire room.
Liu Yuren considered himself a battle-hardened warrior for fifteen years, with hands stained by countless lives. Behind him lay an aura of ferocity, yet why did all that ferocity vanish before Xia Huxin, replaced only by curiosity and tolerance towards her?
He tolerated her current cold and ruthless demeanor that occupied the entire room, which subdued his own killing intent.
Their gazes intertwined; Huxin's eyes were so calm that even Liu Yuren found it hard to comprehend. Perhaps her nature was such that the more she cared, the calmer she appeared.
The stability and serenity flowing from his only left eye rippled slightly due to her composure.
"Alright, whatever you say goes. I'll go along with you." Liu Yuren's voice was warm and gentle, making it hard for anyone to associate him with the Zhenyuan General who had fought on the battlefield for fifteen years. However, those who had witnessed him kill on the battlefield would unanimously agree on one thing about Liu Yuren: he was a god of death!
"Qing Yan is in your hands," Huxin said as she stepped forward to open the door to the room. In the courtyard, Xuan Yuan Ling had not left yet and was looking towards Huxin's room with a worried expression.
Upon seeing Huxin open the door, Xuan Yuan Ling let out a sigh of relief and walked towards her.
