At the same time, in the east courtyard wing.
The maid carefully applied medicinal powder on the last bloody wound on Xiang Yu's back, wrapped it with a clean white cloth, and gently put down the new lining.
Seeing that Xiang Shu's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, she couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in her heart.
Miss Shu usually looks weak, but she has never thought that she is so determined. If it were her, she would have cried in pain.
At this time, there was a sound of pushing the door outside.
When Xiang Shen raised his head, he saw Qin Ji stepping into the threshold aggressively, with all the frustration written on his face.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, not surprisingly.
Qin Ji is not a person with deep thoughts. When she just sent her back, her face was already very ugly. It is very difficult for her to endure it until now.
As his thoughts turned, Qinji had already entered the back room.
She first glanced at the bloody clothes that Xiang Shu had changed out of, and then walked behind Xiang Shu. When she saw that the white cloth was red again, her face immediately dropped: "Why is it still bleeding? Why was it bandaged? If the young master is blamed, what do you think? Can you kill me?"
The maid turned pale and immediately knelt down, "Master Qinji! This slave has carefully applied the medicine. But the wound on Miss Shen's back really doesn't have a good piece of flesh..."
"You still dare to quibble?"
Qinji raised his hand angrily, and the maid was so frightened that she closed her eyes.
Snapped!
A hand covered with frostbite suddenly grabbed the wrist of the piano player and made a crisp sound.
"Miss Shu..."
Qin Ji was stunned on the spot.
What shocked her was not that Xiang Shu stopped her from attacking, but that... Miss Shu, a mortal, could actually keep up with the speed of her attacks?
"Qinji girl, I don't blame her."
Xiang Shu let go of the piano player's wrist and smiled softly: "It's my fault for this. Leaving without saying goodbye made you feel wronged in front of your brother. Don't you feel good now?"
Qinji fell silent after being told what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Xiang Shen smiled slightly and said to the maid, "You go down first."
The maid quickly got up and glanced at Xiang Shu quietly several times before bowing and exiting.
There was no one else in the room. Qin Ji looked slightly relaxed and said rather uncomfortably: "Just now... I lost my temper for a moment. I hope Miss Shen won't blame her."
"I blame you for what you did."
Xiang Shen shook his head and chuckled: "It's you who should blame me. He's angry at you, and it's more or less because of me. I'll make amends to you."
With that said, Xiang Shu stood up and was about to salute, but Qin Ji quickly stopped him and said with a stern expression: "Miss Shu, you must not do it. You are the young master's biological sister. How can I accept your courtesy?"
"I feel sorry for having you worried and scared for more than two months."
Xiang Shen sat down embarrassedly and continued: "Two months ago, I accidentally discovered that someone had sneaked into the room and wanted to kill me. I was so panicked at the time that I didn't think much about it. I just thought about escaping. I forgot to tell you, I’m so sorry.”
Qin Ji looked at Xiang Shu, and the corners of his eyes suddenly felt a little astringent.
She came here just to ask about the matter. She was still struggling with how to speak, but she didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to explain and apologize to her.
She was born in the Blazing Flame Sect and came from a humble background. She had been teased around since she was a child and was used to being indifferent to others.
Miss Shu is obviously very much loved by the young master, and she can rely on the favor of the young master to do whatever she wants. But now, in addition to being a little more calm when facing him, Miss Shu's words are still so gentle.
Qin Ji bit his lower lip and was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Miss Shu, the sect is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. If you keep doing this, you will suffer in the future."
Xiang Shu didn't expect Qin to say these words. He was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
"No...nothing."
Qin Ji looked away with some guilt.
Xiang Shu hummed and pressed his temples casually.
Seeing this, Qinji stood up quickly: "Then... Miss Shu, you are recovering from your injuries. I will take my leave now."
She bowed, turned around and left quickly, her back looking like she was running away.
Xiang Shen looked at it and smiled thoughtfully, but didn't pay much attention.
Qin Ji quickly walked to the door of the east courtyard, but saw a dark shadow flashing in front of the door, and he happened to bump into her.
"Ouch!"
. (The next page is more exciting!)
The person who came fell directly onto his back.
Qin Ji hissed, rubbed his chest, saw the person coming clearly, and suddenly became angry, "Fourteen, how many times do I have to tell you? Don't act recklessly. If you bump into an honored guest, your life will not be enough." Pay compensation!"
"What kind of distinguished guest? How can we have distinguished guests in the east courtyard?"
Fourteen stood up and patted his butt, "I heard that Xiang Shu was back, so I rushed over for a visit."
"You can call me Xiang Shu? Miss Shu."
Qin Ji put his hands on his hips and lectured: "She is the master and you are the servant. How dare you call her by her first name? Do you want to rebel?"
"She is a good mistress."
Fourteen frowned and hummed: "But she is also my friend."...
Qinji was startled, but before he could refute, Fourteen continued: "Sister Qinji, you are the same, you like Miss Shen more than Mr. Hongyu, right? Miss Shen speaks clearly, has an upright character, and also Smart. Mr. Hongyu has such a bad temperament. He ran away for no reason without saying a word, and when he came back, he didn’t even say a word of explanation, which made you feel worried... Ugh!"
Qin Ji covered Shi Shi's mouth tightly, looked around, and then lowered his voice: "Are you impatient? Where is this place? How can we allow you to talk nonsense? The master is the master, how can a master explain to a slave? The truth?"
Fourteen couldn't break free, so he had to nod his head repeatedly to indicate that he understood, and then Qin Ji let go of his hand.
Fourteen took two big breaths and sighed: "Oh... I don't care. I want to go in to visit Miss Shi, is that okay?"
"no!"
Qin Ji put his arms around Shi Shi's neck and said, "Miss Shi's injury is not serious. She just went to sleep. You can practice with me first and come back later."
Fourteen curled his lips, did not struggle this time, and left. None\./Error\./Update\./New`.w`.a`.p`.`.c`.o`.m
In the back room, Xiang Shen sat and waited for a short time when she saw the maid who had just helped her apply the medicine come in. Without saying anything, she knelt down and kowtowed, and said timidly: "Slave, thank you Miss Shen for rescuing her." .”
"Rescue is out of the question."
Xiang Shu smiled and comforted, "What's your name?"
The maid looked up in surprise. This was the first time a master asked her name. She quickly replied: "My name is Xiaotao."
"Xiao Tao, let me ask you something."
Xiang Shen said casually: "How does Qinji treat you on weekdays?"
"fine."
Maid Xiao Tao answered honestly: "Master Qinji sometimes shows his face when he is angry, but the number of times he takes action like today is actually very few. Compared with other slaves in the courtyard, we work under Master Qinji, and our life is pretty good. "
Xiang Shen nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Has she ever told you anything?"
"Master Qinji just asked your slaves to take good care of you and recuperate from your injuries."
Xiaotao answered without thinking, then thought for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "By the way, there is another order. It was given by Mr. Hongyu himself when you first came here, saying that we should watch you and not mess around. Run away, and don’t let you come into contact with too many books on cultivation. However, Mr. Qinji didn’t seem to take it to heart and did not move the books in your study.”
Xiang Shen nodded, "I understand, thank you very much. If I ask you today, I hope you will keep it secret."
Xiao Tao was immediately flattered, "I understand, I will never tell anyone."
After sending Xiao Tao away, Xiang Shu lowered the curtain of the inner room, returned to the bed and sat down, a look of contemplation flashed in his eyes.
After the battle in Xuanwang City, she never thought that she would be unlucky enough to bump into Shu Gaoming when she went down the mountain, so she had to decisively put aside her relationship with the "descendants of the Lu family" and follow her back to the clan.
Xiang Hongyu stayed in the sect. She couldn't follow the last time and escaped down the mountain. She could only take one step at a time.
Although it was just a glimpse when she returned to the sect, she could somewhat tell that the sect was not at peace at the moment, and Xiang Hongyu was just surviving in the cracks.
He told Qin Ji Shao to allow him to practice, but he really had other intentions.
"The furnace..."
Xiang Shen murmured in a low voice, frowning slightly.
This is not difficult to guess. The original owner and Xiang Hongyu are blood relatives. In her dream, she heard Damu said that the most common sealing furnace in the world of cultivation is based on blood ties.
It's just that with the Eight Sects of the Furnace, it's hard to guess how Xiang Hongyu will use her to practice.
. (The next page is more exciting!)
Thinking of this, he wiped his ring finger towards Shu.
The next moment, there was a flash of blood between his fingers, and hundreds of storage rings fell on the bed, piled up into a small mountain.
She picked up a drop of blood to identify its owner and began to sort out the gains from Xuanwang City.
Since Xiang Hongyu wanted to use her as a furnace, it was unlikely that he would do it until her injury improved.
Her injuries were extremely serious. Xiang Hongyu treated her as a mortal, and the healing pill he brought had limited potency. If the Yuanquan was not used, it would take at least two months to recover.
Based on this calculation, there is still plenty of time. She has enough time to think about how to deal with it, and she is not in a hurry.
A night of silence.
At dawn the next day, Xiang Shu was halfway through his breakfast when he saw Shi Shi running over happily, "Miss Shu, I'm here to see you!"
When Xiang Shu saw him, a smile appeared on his face, "You came just in time, come and have dinner with me."
After saying this, she motioned to the maid to go down.
After the screen retreated, Shi Shi was not polite. He pulled up a stool and sat down. He stared at Xiang Shen and said immediately: "Did you not sleep well yesterday? Is it too painful?"
"Did you see it?"
Xiang Shen pressed the dark green eyes under his eyes and said with a smile: "Are you used to staying in the sect during this period?"
"What are you accustomed to? It's good if people like us can stay alive and have enough to eat."
Fourteen curled his lips and said: "Miss Shen, you have suffered a lot, right? At that time, I said that you and I would go together. With me protecting you, your injuries must not be so serious now."
"You are confident."
Xiang Shen laughed dumbly, "It's useless to talk about the past. Isn't it a good thing for me? Instead of talking about these things when you accompany me for dinner, why not talk about the rumors within the sect that you have heard in the past two months to relieve my boredom."
When Fourteen heard this, he immediately became excited, shook his head and said: "If I say the most vicious rumor recently, it is the 'Lv's witch'." \./hand\./machine\./version\./no\./error\./first\./issue~~”
Xiang Shu was immediately startled, "The news spread so fast?"
Fourteen was immediately surprised, "Have you heard about it too?"
