But just now when he saw her trying to hit Fulan, he hit her subconsciously.

His palms were still numb after the beating, so he clenched his palms and put his hands behind his back.

Zhao Fulan was horrified: "Master Sima, how could you lay hands on this girl!"

She hurried forward to check on Xia Yan, "Are you okay? I'm a doctor, can I help you? Your face is swollen."

The voice was soft, the tone full of concern.

Seeing her like this, the regret that Sima Kuang had just felt disappeared. Fulan was always so kind. Xia Yan was about to attack her viciously just now, but now she helped her heal her wounds without holding a grudge.

Looking at the two bloodstains on Xia Yan's face where medicine had been applied, Zhao Fulan's eyes flashed, and she reached out and touched them gently.

Xia Yan was still in a daze, with a buzzing in her ears and temporary deafness, so she couldn't hear what the people around her said. Half of her face was numb from the pain, so she didn't notice Zhao Fulan's touch.

Xia Ben, who had rushed over, pulled her back and half-protected her in his arms. He looked at Zhao Fulan deeply and said to Sima Kuang, "We in the Xia family will remember this slap."

He actually slapped his sister in public. Did he think that all the Xia family members were dead? This Sima Kuang looked okay at first, but now the more he looked at her, the more painful it was. I don't know what Xia Yan saw in him.

Oh, he forgot that Xia Yan is stupid, no wonder she would fall for this kind of person.

After saying that, Xia Ben didn't give Sima Kuang time to react, and half dragged and half hugged Xia Yan away.

Zhao Fulan looked at the two people's backs as they left, a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, which then quickly disappeared.

Then he said worriedly: "Master Sima, I have implicated you. What if the Xia family takes action against you? I heard that the Xia family is very powerful in the city, and the Xia family has always been a bit overbearing and unreasonable..."

Sima Kuang was also somewhat frightened by Xia Ben's words. After all, although he was the son of the City Lord's Mansion, he was just an unpopular illegitimate son. Xia Ben was different. He was the only legitimate son of the head of the Xia family.

Although the Sima family is the controller of this city, their family foundation is not strong. On the contrary, the Xia family has a long history in Yufu City, and their power is intertwined and deep-rooted, so the Xia family is not much weaker than the Sima family.

All in all, he cannot be compared with Xia Ben at all.

However, in front of the woman he loves, a man will never give in! He smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay, Xia Yan was wrong in this matter, and I was afraid that she would hurt you, so I hit her in a hurry. At worst, I can go to your house in person another day to apologize to Xia Yan."

Given how much Xia Yan cares about him, wouldn't she forgive him as long as he said a few nice words? If she showed up, I'm afraid the Xia family would be blocked by her before they could make a move on him.

Thinking of this, Sima Kuang completely put aside his worries.

Zhao Fulan lowered her eyes to hide her contempt, but said, "That's great."

"Let's go. Today I'm bringing you to see some fighting fish. Don't let irrelevant people affect your mood."

Sima Kuang was the first to walk inside.

It happened that Shen Yizhi and his group came out of Douyu Hall, and the two groups met in the corridor.

Sima Kuang was stunned when he saw Shen Yizhi, "Miss Shen, why did you disappear for four years without even saying hello?"

Shen Yizhi took a look at him before recognizing him. "Third Master Sima, we are not close enough to tell you where I am, right?"

So why did you start with such a questioning tone?

At best, they are nodding acquaintances, the kind of relationship where just nodding when they meet is enough.

Sima Kuang's face flashed with embarrassment and anger, "I thought we were already friends."

Shen Yizi didn't say anything, just gave a polite yet awkward smile.

While the two were talking, Zhao Fulan squatted down in front of Qing Bao and said, "Little guy, you are so cute. Can you tell me your name?"

As she spoke, she reached out and pinched his cheek.

At this moment, the Jianxie bell worn on Qing Bao's wrist rang. Ding-ling-ling, the sound was crisp and pleasant, but to Shen Yizhi's ears, it sounded like facing a powerful enemy.

When He Buji gave this bracelet to Qing Bao, he said that if anyone with bad intentions towards Qing Bao approached, the Jianxie Bell would ring.

Shen Yizhi squatted down and wiped Qingbao's mouth. "Look at you, there's a circle of stain around your mouth."

Take advantage of the situation to separate Zhao Fulan.

"What's this girl's name?"

She was asking about Zhao Fulan, but Sima Kuang stepped forward and introduced her: "This is the young master of the Immortal Doctor Sect, Miss Zhao Fulan." There was a hint of complacency in his expression.

The young master of the Immortal Doctor Sect?

Shen Yizhi showed a hint of just the right amount of surprise, "I've heard of your name for a long time. I heard that the people in the Immortal Doctor Sect have superb medical skills and travel around the world all year round to help people. I don't know how many people they have saved. It's a great honor to meet Miss Zhao here."

Zhao Fulan said modestly: "Curing illnesses and saving lives is the duty of a doctor. I don't deserve such praise from Miss Shen."

The two men praised each other's business and said goodbye with smiles.

After walking a few steps, Zhao Fulan looked back at Qing Bao. This child really looked very similar to that person. Could he be related to him? Sima Kuang asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Fulan retracted her gaze and said, "That child is so adorable. I'm a little reluctant to let him go."

Shen Yizhi noticed something, but did not turn around, and the smile on his face faded.

"Qingbao, do you remember what Uncle He said when he gave you this bell bracelet?"

"Remember, Uncle He said that if a bad guy approaches, the bell will ring."

Qing Bao fiddled with the bell on the bracelet, but couldn't make it make any sound.

Cui Yue cried out in a low voice: "Sister Shen, the bell rang when Miss Zhao approached just now. Doesn't this mean that--"

She had a good impression of the Immortal Doctor Sect, and Miss Zhao was also a beautiful and kind person. She used to admire the young sect leader very much.

But now she discovered that Miss Zhao had harbored ill will towards Qing Bao from the moment they met, and she couldn't help feeling a little disillusioned.

Shen Yizhi told Qing Bao and the other two, "If you meet this Miss Zhao again in the future, stay away from her, understand?"

Nian Nian shrugged her nose: "I don't like her in the first place. That woman smells terrible!"

Shen Yizhi was surprised, "Really? Why didn't I smell it?"

Her sense of smell was very sensitive, and she felt that there was a faint fragrance lingering around Zhao Fulan, like orchid and musk, with a hint of medicinal scent. Although she disliked Zhao Fulan, she had to admit that the smell was not at all unpleasant.
