After asking three questions in a row, Luo Wuji's face darkened, and Xia Wanqing looked at him with a wronged expression: "Wuji, I'm in pain..."

He was secretly very dissatisfied. "Useless! She didn't even realize it herself, yet she has the nerve to blame her?"

"I'm sorry, Qing'er, I was too excited before..." Luo Wuji looked at Xia Wanqing's aggrieved appearance, which was on the verge of tears, and belatedly let go of her, with guilt on his face.

"It was me. I will repay your life-saving grace another day. I am seriously injured today, so I will take my leave." Having witnessed the two flirting, Ling Qing'er's last hope, expectation, and goodwill towards Luo Wuji vanished, and her words became much colder.

As expected of the male lead, Luo Wuji immediately noticed Ling Qing'er's change: "Miss Ling, are you blaming me for not recognizing you earlier?"

The change in address made Ling Qing'er feel nauseous.

She forced herself to remain calm, tidied her hair, revealing her pale face, and got up from the ground. She didn't want to pretend anymore and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Luo Wuji frowned. How could he let her leave like this? Wasn't she injured? If he could save her life again, he wouldn't have to use those deceitful tricks to gain her trust anymore.

Meanwhile, Xia Wanqing, who had already seen through Luo Wuji's intentions, could not possibly allow Ling Qing'er, who had something on her and was her enemy, to return to Luo Wuji's side.

She grabbed Luo Wuji and tried her best to persuade him: "Wuji, I can understand Miss Ling. When I was injured, all I wanted was for my family to be by my side, but my father and mother were busy with important matters, so I had to endure it alone. I think Miss Ling is the same as me. What she needs most right now is for her parents to be by her side."

As she spoke, she looked at Ling Qing'er with a simple smile and asked cautiously, "If I have said anything wrong, please forgive me, Miss Ling."

Ling Qing'er felt disgusted, but all she wanted to do now was leave. Even though she knew Xia Wanqing had ill intentions, she didn't mind using the excuse Xia Wanqing had given her.

Looking up, she forced a smile and said, "Miss Xia is right, farewell."

After saying that, she left quickly without looking back.

A cold glint flashed in Xia Wanqing's eyes. "Run away. Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. Let's see where you can run to!"

Luo Wuji tightened his grip but did not stop him; getting entangled at this point would not do him any good.

Down the mountain, Yun Huai was catching mosquitoes for Qi Yue, looking utterly dejected: "Junior Sister, do we really have to stay here and feed the mosquitoes?"
