Smoke filled the air, and the Yue Kingdom’s Imperial Palace lay in ruins.

The twelve-year-old girl watched as her father trembled on the dragon throne, writing the letter of surrender, while her mother held her in her arms, tears streaming down her face.

With the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, Chu Yihan took the letter of surrender and promised the man on the dragon throne that he would not kill the people of the Yue Kingdom, pledging to protect the last of his bloodline.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Ping saw his father crash into the pillar in the hall. Her mother rushed over, took out a sharp knife that she had hidden in her arms, and stabbed it at herself.

“Father, Mother!”

At that moment of Sheng Ping’s crying out, a large hand covered her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she was already on a warhorse with Chu Yihan. Chu Yihan’s cold voice echoed, “Yue Kingdom has fallen. I will bring you to the Great Cheng Dynasty. From now on, that’s where you’ll live. If your life is in danger, you can come to me.”

Sheng Ping’s trembling hand grasped a corner of his clothing as she choked out, “Alright.”

Wherever his warhorse passed, there were corpses strewn about. Sheng Ping saw Chu Yihan intervening whenever commoners were being mistreated.

If any soldiers tried to harm her, Chu Yihan would eliminate them.

She was the only prize Chu Yihan brought back to the Great Cheng Dynasty, yet he never demanded anything from her.

However, she asked carefully about the piece of clothing she had taken from him back then, “Can I, have it?”

Chu Yihan swung his longsword, severing the piece of fabric.

Sheng Ping pinched the piece of clothing stained with old blood and stuck it to her face. She hugged it gently and fell asleep.

By the time Su Yingxue had finished seeing her patients in the afternoon, the clinic was being closed by Manager Qi. He found her still in the treatment room.

He stepped forward to remind her, “Miss, please take care of yourself. Don’t overexert.”

With a heavy expression, Su Yingxue replied, “I’ll read the medical books a little longer. You all can head back.”

Manager Qi bowed and replied, “Understood.”

Su Yingxue was left alone in the medical hall, and she was getting more and more irritated.

She called Zi Wei a few times, but there was no response.

Only when she was so exhausted that she nearly dozed off on the table did she notice a dark figure?

There was a trace of blood on Zi Wei, causing Su Yingxue to furrow her brows.” What happened? Are you injured again?”

Zi Wei lowered his head and nodded.

“Didn’t 1 tell you not to fight and get hurt?”

Su Yingxue carefully lifted his clothes, revealing two more wounds on his back, both quite deep.

A surge of anger welled up in her heart. “If you go out and fight again, I’ll…”

Zi Wei raised his gaze, uncertain about what kind of threat she might utter.

Su Yingxue contemplated for a while before turning to brew some medicine for him.

What could she do with this cold-blooded assassin?

Kill him?

That was impossible!

She prepared two bowls of medicine, intentionally making them bitter. Zi Wei didn’t hesitate to drink both, and his gaze remained fixed on Su Yingxue as if he was waiting for something.

Su Yingxue smirked. “Want some candy?”

Zi Wei nodded. “Yes.”

“No! Who told you to get hurt again? If you get hurt and it affects my ability to detoxify and help you recover, I won’t give you any candy. 1’11 deduct a candy each time you get injured! One injury, one candy deducted!” Su Yingxue playfully threatened.

Zi Wei’s expression soured.

He had been threatened by Su Yingxue.

Even so, he had no choice but to escort Su Yingxue back to the residence, fearful that any harm might befall her..
