"Then hurry up!" If Li Ruo leaned against the chair behind her, she would always feel that her heart would be at ease when she leaned against something. Most importantly, this kind of lean would make her feel less pain.
Xuanyuan Mo Xin steeled himself as he gripped his dagger tightly and slashed at the rotten flesh in Liruo's hand.
It hurt so much. It hurt so much. It felt like countless knives were cutting his body again and again. It was a pain that was so painful that it seeped into his bones.
Liruo closed her eyes as large beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She panted slightly, her trembling eyelashes and eyelids constantly reminding Xuanyuan Mo that Liruo was trying her best to restrain herself.
Thus, the pain in his heart increased. He felt pain in his heart, helplessness, reluctance, and bitterness. With all of his emotions mixed together, he felt like he was about to collapse at any moment.
However, there was a voice shouting in his heart. Xuanyuan Mo, if you're a little bit slower, Ruo Ruo will have to suffer for a long time.
His hands had already begun to tremble, but reason told him that he had to remain calm. Thus, every time Xuanyuan Mo cut off Li Ruo's hands, it was as if his heart had also been countless times delayed.
It really hurts.
"If it hurts, then cry!"
"…" Liruo's eyebrows twitched a few times but she did not reply. Xuanyuan Mo then lowered his head and continued, fresh blood spurting out, mixing with the new flesh and old flesh. This also blurred Xuanyuan Mo's vision and increased his difficulty.
Xuanyuan Mo's expression changed several times as his curiosity towards Liruo grew.
What kind of training and experience would allow him to be so patient?
If it was before, it definitely wouldn't have been easy. Otherwise, why would she wake up every night when there was the slightest movement at her side? Even a normal man might not be able to sit as leisurely as her today.
Who was she, and where had she come from?
In the future, would she also leave him?
No, she had never belonged to him, so how could she leave him?
He closed his eyes and opened them again. He used the liquor to wash Liru's wound, then cut off the rest of the rotten flesh and wrapped Liruo with the medicine. Liruo didn't struggle or stop the whole process.
"Alright!" Xuanyuan Mo breathed out a sigh of relief, but his words did not receive a response. He looked back at Liru, his face pale and beads of sweat concentrated on his forehead.
Her eyes were tightly shut, and she looked as if she was dead, lifeless.
He was frightened.
"Li Ruo, Li Ruo?" He called for a few times, but didn't get a reply. He took her pulse in a hurry, but she was still breathing. When he looked at her breathing again, he finally felt relieved. She just fainted from the pain.
He took a hot towel and carefully wiped off the sweat from Liru's face. Then he tidied up the mess in the room. Smelling the smell of blood, he frowned.
"General!" At this time, a familiar voice sounded from the entrance. Xuanyuan Mo turned his head and saw Yu Yan standing outside the door.
"Uncle Yu Yan!" Xuanyuan Mo was astonished. Why would he be here?
"Since this room is not peaceful tonight, come and take a look!" Yu Ruo explained indifferently as she looked at the already soundly asleep Li Ruo in the room.
"Are you all alright?" Xuanyuan Mo didn't find it strange when he said this because Yu Yan was originally such a person. He had the ability to transcend the heavens and was already aware of the future.
"It's fine. Uncle Yu Hua, I'm really sorry for troubling you to come in the middle of the night!" Perhaps it was due to Li Ruo's rejection of Yu Yan, but Xuanyuan Mo did not directly invite her in. Although the title did not change, there was a faint sense of alienation.
He didn't notice it himself, but Yu Hua sensed it. He slightly raised his eyebrows and, as usual, began to chat very naturally.
"How can we be so distant and polite?" It didn't matter whether Xuanyuan Mo was willing to invite him in or not, he had already stepped forward and entered.
It wasn't easy to stop Xuanyuan Mo, so he could only allow him in.
"How could this be?" Seeing Li Ruo's abnormally red face, Yu Ruo's voice became slightly louder. Only now did Xuanyuan Mo realize that Li Ruo's entire face had become extremely rosy.
He quickly walked past her and had already forgotten about his previous resistance against her.
"Uncle Yu Yan, quickly save her!" Xuanyuan Mo had never known that he would lose his composure to this extent because of a woman.
"En!" After receiving his affirmation, Xuanyuan Mo turned around and left.
He knew that Yu Ruo wouldn't lie to him. He would definitely treat Liru properly, but what he couldn't understand was that the wound on Liruo's hand wasn't serious, but why was it that the situation became worse?
Furthermore, he remembered that when he opened the door, Liru did not have a fever. Even his frown had slowly disappeared. Why did his illness suddenly worsen?
Xuanyuan Mo closed the door behind him, his eyes were fixated on Yu Yan who was about to be given the needle. Could it be that this matter really had something to do with Uncle Yu Yan?
Otherwise, why would Li Ruo avoid all the questions and topics regarding Uncle Yu Ruo?
But if it is natural and reasonable to infect a person after he has been injured, and if the infection does cause fever, does it prove that his suspicions are incorrect?
Moreover, Uncle Yu Lian had been by his side for so many years, treating the two of them like his own children. Everything he had done before was for Xuan Yuan's sake, so he shouldn't suspect Yu Yun?
Because even if he cracked his brain, he still couldn't figure out Yu Yan's real motive for doing this.
Xuanyuan Mo had a complicated expression on his face. Through the blurry paper window, he seemed to be able to see Yu Yan applying acupuncture on Li Ruo. He was extremely focused and didn't want anyone to disturb him.
"Mo'er, in royal father's entire life, he has only trusted this one person, and royal father also believes that he will not do anything that would harm us, Xuanyuan. Tell royal father, can you trust him without any defenses at all?"
"Of course I can!" The tiny Xuanyuan Mo slapped his chest in guarantee.
After royal father dies, you must satisfy all of his demands, respect him as your leader, and listen to him, you have to protect our mountain range of ten thousand miles, love the people, and don't randomly start a war. Tell royal father, can you do it? "
"Father, this child will follow your teachings!"
The words that he had said when he was young still echoed in his ears. Xuanyuan Mo felt a little helpless as she had promised her father that she would never forget him. However, Liruo's ability, intuition, and judgement were all excellent.
So, what went wrong?
Should he continue to believe in an elder who had accompanied him for so many years, or a woman who had been married to a princess and had an odd and even unknown origin?
Xuanyuan Mo hung his head, feeling as though something extremely valuable was weighing on his heart, causing him to have difficulty breathing.
What he did not see was that right at this moment, Yu Rui who was in the room suddenly laughed sinisterly. He flipped the needle in his hand and shot it directly towards Xuanyuan Mo who was outside the door.
Feeling an extremely small amount of pain coming from his shoulder, Xuanyuan Mo reached out and patted his shoulder, but he did not find anything abnormal.
At the same time, the Yu Lin in the room quickly pierced through Liruo's arm, mixing his own blood with Liruo's. At the same time, Yu Lin in the room quickly pierced through Liruo's arm, mixing his own blood with Liruo's blood.
Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary. Xuanyuan Mo was slightly taken aback. He had been overthinking it …
Love, Liruo, and the respect for Yu Yan's uncle were not contradictory matters to begin with. If there really was a misunderstanding between the two of them, he, as the mediator, should coordinate well.
When Li Ruo woke up, the wound on her hand was already painless. He didn't know if it was because her healing speed was too fast or because of the medicine, but it was obvious that this wound would have healed long ago.
Her intuition told her that things were not that simple.
Li Ruo regained his senses and looked towards the house. Xuanyuan Mo was not there, so he had probably gone out.
However, the medicine bottles that suddenly appeared in the room, as well as the smell that did not belong to her and Xuanyuan Mo, were so obvious that it was difficult for her to ignore them even if she wanted to.
This was something Yu Yan had left behind on purpose. He had come here on purpose! This was Liruo's first thought. Wasn't Xuanyuan Mo here? Why did Yu Hua still come?
Could it be that Xuanyuan Mo and Yu Yan really had some unspeakable secrets?
And the secret was aimed at her?
No, she couldn't go on like this. She couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
Li Ruo got up and suddenly saw a white daffodil standing by the window. Her pupils contracted and she unconsciously started retreating. The location she placed, the number of flowers, and the color … They were all so familiar.
His master had said that the human brain had the ability to remember. As long as one saw something that happened to them, they would hide in their brain and never forget it. As long as one calmed down, they would be able to remember why they felt familiar with the thing that they saw again. Perhaps, they would really be able to remember where they met it at the time when they were doing something.
Li Ruo suddenly opened her eyes and slowly walked to the window. That's right, she remembered now, this was the first time she saw her adoptive father and mother. Not only were the flowers on her balcony number, they were also the same color.
Because she hated the Water Immortal, after discovering her habit, Su Lin begged her adoptive father to change his position. But at that time, they were the only ones in the entire household.
Who was it? Why did he do this? Yu Yan, who was it? Was it the spirit of the foster father who was taking revenge, or was this man planning something terrible?
