Chapter 128: Sheng Qingfeng

That side, Lu Xingzhou worried that Ye Wufeng would relentlessly pursue her to finish her off, so the master and disciple, together with the Sheng family's old servant, escorted Sheng Yuanyao back to the Sheng family.

Sheng Qingfeng was at work, and Madam Sheng had also gone out to visit relatives somewhere, so there were no elders in the Sheng family. Sheng Yuanyao secretly glanced at the old servant and whispered, "Do you want to come in and sit for a bit?"

Lu Xingzhou said calmly, "There were too many outsiders earlier, so it wasn't good to say. Actually, if you don't mind, it's best if I treat the wound. Whether the sword edge contained poison and whether there is residual sword qi inside needs to be properly checked."

In theory, the injured person themselves would have a feeling about these things, but it's also true that you can't rule out hidden possibilities. Sheng Yuanyao weakly said, "Then... you come with me."

The old servant wanted to speak but hesitated and eventually didn't say anything.

Letting the young lady almost lose her life this time was already a great oversight. If there really was some residual effect that wasn't discovered, and she suddenly died in the night or something, he would have to slit his own throat. Such an important matter shouldn't get tangled up in the lone man and widow situation... moreover, they were publicly hugging and rolling...

Ultimately, unlike Shen Tang who had a little white-haired girl beside her to cause trouble, Sheng Yuanyao didn't bring Lu Xingzhou into her own boudoir. Instead, she went into the guest room, which at least put the old servant's heart slightly at ease.

"Lie down." Lu Xingzhou said expressionlessly, "A Nuo, go help this pig head a bit."

Sheng Yuanyao pouted and obediently lay on the bed with A Nuo's support.

A Nuo took the opportunity to rub Sheng Yuanyao's face. Sheng Yuanyao glared angrily. A Nuo looked at the sky.

Lu Xingzhou expressionlessly tore open the clothes near her back wound and undid the bandage the old servant had applied.

Sheng Yuanyao hissed and lay on the pillow without moving.

She originally thought there would be some shame, but it turned out there wasn't. It was all pain. What shame could there be?

Even Lu Xingzhou had no mind to look at the white skin near her wound. Although this wound wasn't said to be heavy, it was a long wound and still looked very scary. There was no way to care about anything else.

"Ye Wufeng used to temper poison in his early years, but now there's actually no poison... It seems he's more confident now and feels that tempering poison is too low-class. Hmph." Lu Xingzhou snorted a laugh and still sprinkled some medicine powder. "Indeed, there is some hidden sword qi, but it's not serious and hasn't entered the meridians. It's only in the muscles... mainly because he didn't expect it on the spot, so the power wasn't concentrated."

The medicine powder stimulated the wound, and Sheng Yuanyao groaned.

Lu Xingzhou acted as if he didn't hear. "Previously in public, your family's old servant could only bandage you with clothes. That was very improper. Clothing fragments seeping in can easily cause infection. Now that there's no one here, let A Nuo take off your clothes, bandage it properly, and then you can wear clothes."

After speaking, he pushed his wheelchair directly out the door. At the threshold, he didn't know how, but the wheelchair bounced and jumped out.

Sheng Yuanyao turned her head to look and suddenly felt this scene was very cute. She burst out laughing.

A Nuo's little face was serious. "You're still laughing?"

Sheng Yuanyao glared at her. "What do you care how I laugh? If you take advantage to rub me again, I'll..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was pressed and rubbed by A Nuo again.

Sheng Yuanyao rubbed her pouting mouth. "You've made me remember!"

A Nuo smiled happily and helped her take off her clothes, whispering, "Sister Yao..."

"What!"

"Master was very angry earlier, you know. I rarely see Master lose his temper."

Sheng Yuanyao pouted, her face somewhat unduly red. "He was angry that I didn't value his advice. I deserve it too."

"No." A Nuo leaned in and quietly said, "Don't you feel that Master was more angry about you going on a blind date?"

Sheng Yuanyao stared with wide eyes. A Nuo took the opportunity to sneak an attack on her chest. The rabbit thumped several times. A Nuo was very happy. "Didn't realize it, there's still some material!"

Sheng Yuanyao gnashed her teeth. "Lu A Nuo!"

A Nuo blinked her eyes. "Eh, should I just call my full name Lu Nuo Nuo later?"

Sheng Yuanyao touched her chin. "Lu Tuan Tuan is also fine. I have to say, you really should have a full name... Lu Nuo Mi Tuanzi, can you really say that? You should formally discuss this with your master and ask him to change your household registration."

Whether he was more angry about the blind date topic, just like that, it was never mentioned again.

But Sheng Yuanyao's blush still didn't fade, and her eyes were always distracted. She also didn't know how much it was related to A Nuo's sneak attack on the rabbit.

A knocking sound rang out. Lu Xingzhou's voice came, "Are you two done yet?"

Sheng Yuanyao hurriedly took a new set of clothes from her ring and put them on. A Nuo ran to open the door. "Coming, coming."

The door opened, and Sheng Yuanyao's appearance of hurriedly tying her clothes belt was still in sight.

Lu Xingzhou pretended not to see and pulled A Nuo out of the threshold with one hand, closing the door.

A Nuo, who was shut outside: "???"

Sheng Yuanyao lay on the head of the bed, biting her lower lip. "What? You shut A Nuo outside? Are you taking advantage of the situation to do something beastly?"

Lu Xingzhou said in a bad mood, "This is your home!"

Sheng Yuanyao put on a straight face. "If it wasn't my home, would you just want to?"

"Your wound is on your back, not on your brain, is it?" Lu Xingzhou reached out and put his hand on her forehead to measure her temperature. "You're not burning up. How did you just start burning up?"

"Pah." Sheng Yuanyao slapped his hand away and turned her head away, not looking at him.

Her heart was truly a bit nervous. What did he drive A Nuo away for?

Lone man and widow...

She deliberately suppressed the thought of that moment of hugging and rolling deep in her heart, that instant of overlapping and pressing on her body... those affectionate peach blossom eyes, which were rarely full of anger every day, scolded her, yet all were words of worry for her safety...

Until now, there was still a little deer jumping in her heart.

A Nuo said he was more angry about the blind date?

She had been on blind dates not seventeen or eighteen times, but thirteen or fourteen. What was he angry about?

Lu Xingzhou didn't mention these topics yet. Instead, he said, "Regarding this matter, your father will probably be furious. I've come to ask for a favor."

Sheng Yuanyao was slightly startled. "What?"

"When the entire Zhen Mo Si launches an attack, it probably won't be too difficult to dig up the base of the Yan Luo Dian in the capital... but I beg to differ. This might cause heavy casualties to the Yan Luo Dian people, but it won't necessarily catch Ye Wufeng, which goes against the original intention and instead alerts the enemy."

Sheng Yuanyao's small heart, which had been jumping like a deer, calmed down completely. She said strangely, "You mean, you're pleading for the Yan Luo Dian?"

"Um." Lu Xingzhou said in a low voice, "The emotional ties of ten years are always there. Many people in the Yan Luo Dian are my old subordinates... Help them out. You and I will only target Ye Wufeng, okay?"

Sheng Yuanyao kept a tense face and didn't speak.

Lu Xingzhou said again, "To be honest, this matter is really not the Yan Luo Dian's business. It's just Ye Wufeng's personal operation. Essentially, he's only targeting me... You were instead implicated by me."

Sheng Yuanyao waved her hand. "You also said that killing me could make you sad, but the main reason he chose me was that I was investigating him, and he held a grudge. So it's not your fault. There's no need for you to carry the blame yourself."

Lu Xingzhou didn't speak.

Sheng Yuanyao confirmed again, "You drove A Nuo away just to say some words pleading for the Yan Luo Dian?"

Lu Xingzhou wanted to laugh a bit. "Otherwise, what did you think I would say?"

Of course, he drove A Nuo away because he was afraid A Nuo would laugh at him for not forgetting Sister Yu... but actually, this had nothing to do with Yuan Mu Yu. He truly had emotional ties with the Yan Luo Dian and couldn't just sit by and watch them be harmed and suffer heavy casualties by a self-righteous madman.

"Pah, I didn't think anything." Sheng Yuanyao suddenly got angry and reached out to push Lu Xingzhou's wheelchair. "Get out, get out, I want to rest."

Her wound was on her back, and she was lying down. So, leaning her body to push someone looked simply like burying her head in someone's embrace and biting, an extremely bad posture.

The door creaked open. Sheng Qingfeng stood there expressionlessly, carrying A Nuo in one hand and looking at his daughter and the man flirting and scolding each other's posture.

Sheng Yuanyao stiffened there.

Lu Xingzhou felt as if the wind was light and the moon was bright. He bowed without humility or arrogance. "Seen Chief Catcher Sheng. Well, I don't know how this inferior disciple offended Chief Catcher Sheng..."

Sheng Qingfeng put down A Nuo and said with a straight face, "I never thought there would be a day when I, Sheng, would be blocked from entering the door by a small child in my own home. For a moment, I suspected I had gone to the wrong house."

A Nuo sniffled. She couldn't win the fight, she really couldn't win the fight.

Lu Xingzhou: "..."

His humility and arrogance were gone, and his old face was a bit burning instead.

Sheng Qingfeng's face hadn't eased yet. "I heard that Young Master Lu saved my little daughter at Qingyao Garden today. I, Sheng, thank you here."

"Dare not deserve it." Lu Xingzhou bowed again. "Miss Sheng is a friend of mine, Lu. This is what should be done."

Should be done? You were hugging and rolling with her, pressing on her body, and a group of people were surrounded and watching, and you didn't get up for half a day? Sheng Qingfeng's mouth twitched, but he finally didn't ask that, just looked at Lu Xingzhou with eight parts inquiry in his gaze.

His appearance is indeed capital...

But his identity... is very troublesome.

Moreover, he's not the princess's favorite, is he? Yuan Yao, what exactly do you want to do?!

Yet, he saw Sheng Yuanyao lying on the bed, greatly angry. "What are you still looking at people like a prisoner for! Isn't this matter something you provoked?!"

Sheng Qingfeng was a bit silly. "Me?"

"Didn't you just force me to go on a blind date! And still a blind date? And still a blind date?" Sheng Yuanyao grabbed a pillow and threw it. "If I die, it's all because of you!"

"This..." Sheng Qingfeng was very embarrassed. If you calculate it that way, it really is.

But who could have thought that a blind date would turn out like this... Sheng Qingfeng was very helpless. The heart of inquiry about his daughter and the man flirting and scolding alone was all scolded away by the first strike. After a long while, he finally sighed. "Good, good, good. Dad won't force you anymore."

Sheng Yuanyao's expression brightened. "Really?"

At least it was real in the short term. Sheng Qingfeng shook his head helplessly and said to Lu Xingzhou, "Young Master Lu, why don't you have lunch here? I also have some things I want to chat with you about."

Lu Xingzhou answered very simply, "Good."

Sheng Yuanyao's anger was gone at once, and her expression was instead a little happy. "I want to eat too."

Sheng Qingfeng looked at Lu Xingzhou, his eyes showing inquiry. Lu Xingzhou nodded. "Miss Sheng's wound isn't considered very serious. It doesn't hinder daily activities, just don't do violent movements that pull the wound. There's no need to always lie on the bed."

"You should have said that earlier!" Sheng Yuanyao immediately flipped herself up and happily carried A Nuo. "Go, sister will take you to visit my home."

She completely didn't notice that her old dad's face was already as black as the bottom of a pot.

Are you two really pure? No matter how you look at it, you don't seem like it!
