When Lu Ming saw her come again, he raised an eyebrow. "Miss Su, what brings you here this time?"
Su Jin grinned broadly, "I'll brew the medicine for Shen Qianxue."
Lu Ming was puzzled, "Such a trivial matter as brewing medicine is done by a servant."
"You don't understand," Su Jin said with an air of knowing everything. "The servant's job is to cook, but my cooking is out of my affection for Shen Qianxue. How can you compare them?"
The deer's cry...
No wonder Shen Qianxue's ice block showed signs of melting; who could resist such a direct expression of deep affection?
Su Jin asked the servant for instructions on how to brew the medicine, and spent the whole afternoon sitting in the courtyard patiently tending to the small stove.
After examining the two patients, Lu Ming rummaged through the medicinal herbs in the courtyard.
Su Jin admired his good looks for a while, then suddenly ran over to him and praised him with a fawning expression, "You are so handsome, the most handsome person I have ever seen."
Lu Ming smiled faintly, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss Su."
Su Jin swallowed hard. "Your skin is as white as snow, and your hair is so smooth! You must have a secret recipe. Since I'm the future mistress of Phoenix Pavilion, why don't you bribe me in advance?"
Lu Ming paused, surprised. "Are you so sure you're the future mistress of Phoenix Pavilion?"
Su Jin raised her chin slightly. "I'm determined to have it. I'll kill ghosts and gods alike. Nobody can take it from me!"
Lu Ming gave her a thumbs up.
Su Jin continued to tempt her, "So, do you want to bribe me?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I do have the secret recipe. I will definitely present it to you with both hands when you become the mistress of Phoenix Pavilion."
Su Jin said, "You stingy little thing!"
After the medicine was brewed, Su Jin came down to Shen Qianxue's study.
The sun is shining brightly today, and the doors and windows of the study are all open.
Su Jin's next glance revealed Shen Qianxue diligently working at her office.
"Your leg injury hasn't healed yet, can you rest a little longer!"
Shen Qianxue twitched her lips. She hadn't even seen the person yet, but the lesson had already begun.
As he raised his eyes, a warm white light slowly approached.
Her flowing white dress, smooth black hair, and bright eyes made it hard to look away.
After Su Jin came downstairs, she opened the lunchbox and placed the medicine on Shen Qianxue's desk.
"Here, drink it while it's hot."
Shen Qianxue took the medicine, placed it on the table, pulled Su Jin down to sit, and picked up a small handkerchief to wipe her sweat.
She even slightly scolded, "Why are you all sweaty!"
Su Jin raised her face slightly to let him wipe it, muttering, "It's too hot near the small stove."
The girl's lips lifted slightly from her chin, so red they were almost blood-red, making it hard to look away.
Shen Qianxue licked her lips, her voice low, "Did you brew this medicine?"
Su Jin nodded while taking credit, "Yes, aren't you touched? Don't you think I'm great!"
Shen Qianxue poked Su Jin on the forehead and scolded, "Shameless."
While smiling, Su Jinxia brought the medicine back to Shen Qianxue.
Shen Qianxue sighed and drank the medicine in one gulp.
"How's your martial arts training going?"
Su Jin tugged at a piece of Shen Qianxue's clothing playfully, "Don't ask me anything. I'll come back and show off to you after I've mastered my skills."
Shen Qianxue chuckled, "Alright, I'll be waiting for you to show off."
Shen Qianxue knew that the team members were sensible, so she wasn't worried.
It was almost dinnertime, so Su Jin ate dinner at Shen Qianxue's place before leaving.
Watching Su Jin skip away, Shen Qianxue felt a little dazed.
Despite the increasingly tense situation, he felt as if time had suddenly slowed down, giving him a sense of serene tranquility.
After Su Jin left, Shen Xi rushed over with a smile on her face.
"Young master, the crossbow blueprints you asked me to find have been found!"
Shen Qianxue's eyes lit up as she took the crossbow and examined it. "Excellent! Get started on its construction as soon as possible. With this crossbow, our strength will be greatly enhanced! How are the troops in Xishan training?"
"It's progressing well. The prince also told me not to worry and to focus on recovering from your injury."
Shen Qianxue nodded. He was most pleased that everyone in Phoenix Pavilion was of one mind, so he didn't have to worry too much about many things.
The imperial court is becoming increasingly incompetent, and in recent years there have been continuous disasters, leaving the people destitute. Meanwhile, the southern kingdom is growing stronger and is eyeing China covetously.
They need to act faster!
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, the sky was overcast with thick clouds rolling in, and it looked like a heavy rain was about to fall.
Su Jinxia deliberately tied her hair up and wore a smart black martial arts uniform.
The clothes were simple in style, but Su Jin had a slender figure and a straight back, giving her a unique and elegant demeanor.
"Let's get started quickly, it's going to rain soon," Su Jin urged impatiently.
Li Hei dawdled and refused to leave the line, saying, "Maybe we shouldn't compete at all."
My future wife, if I lose to her, will I ever have a good life?
Although Li Hei is straightforward, he can still understand this point.
Su Jin understood Li Hei and the others' thoughts. Her brows furrowed slightly, and the wind whipped up her dress, giving her an astonishingly sharp aura.
"If you're a real man, step forward and keep your promise. Stop thinking about all that nonsense. I'm just a group of disciples standing here today. You and I are having a fair and square competition!"
Li Hei was suddenly awakened.
That's right. Su Jinxia never said that she was some kind of lady who needed special treatment. She trained diligently every day just to prove herself.
Li Hei's current hesitation is humiliating himself, and also humiliating Su Jinxia!
"Good!" Li Hei shouted, "If you can last three moves against me today, I'll acknowledge you as my brother!"
"Please!" Su Jin said.
