When Shen Qianxue rushed to Lu Ming's residence, she heard Su Jinxia laughing and talking inside.
"You wouldn't give me your secret recipe even after I begged you so much before, how come you're willing to part with it now?"
That teasing tone sounds really nice.
Lu Ming's voice was clear and gentle, with a hint of doting, "If I don't take it out soon, your shoulder will be a sieve!"
The wolf bite from last time and the strain from this hidden weapon are both on the same shoulder, and it looks terrible.
Su Jin, oblivious to the danger, giggled, "You're exaggerating. It's just a scar... wait, are you men particularly bothered by scars on women?"
"Hmm..." Lu Ming hesitated!
Su Jin retorted angrily, "Hmph, shallow man!"
Lu Ming joked, "Other girls love to look beautiful, but you don't care about your image at all."
Shen Qianxue, who had stopped at the door, couldn't stand it any longer and pushed the door open with a bang.
The room was slightly messy, and Su Jin's clothes were disheveled, revealing her shoulders. Although her shoulders were wrapped tightly in white cloth, the thought that Lu Ming had wrapped them made Shen Qianxue's anger rise.
"Get up and come back with me!"
His voice was slightly cold, showing no concern.
Looking at Shen Qianxue's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, Su Jinxia inexplicably became obedient, said "Oh," and quickly got up.
Shen Qianxue quickly straightened Su Jinxia's clothes from her shoulders, took Su Jinxia's other hand, and led her away.
Su Jin jogged to catch up with Shen Qianxue, wondering why he seemed unhappy.
Did the mission fail?
Su Jin hadn't had time to check on Nie Qingyi's condition since she was injured, so she was a bit confused.
Shen Qianxue led Su Jinxia into her room, settled her on the bed, and coldly left her with the words, "Rest here!"
Su Jin quickly grabbed Shen Qianxue's hand and asked pitifully, "Where are you going?"
Shen Qianxue looked at Su Jin for a long time and realized that she had no idea what she was angry about.
Finally, he sighed helplessly and said softly, "I'm right outside."
"oh."
Su Jin let go of his hand and obediently got into bed.
Shen Qianxue sat down in the courtyard.
Li Hei and Fu Gang were waiting with their heads down.
With Su Jinxia injured, the two of them naturally didn't fare well.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Li Hei quickly took all the blame upon himself, saying, "It's all my fault. My little sister was injured while saving me."
Shen Qianxue narrowed her eyes, her cold aura spreading out, "Call her Miss Su!"
Li Hei's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned bright red. In his nervousness, he forgot his manners and dared to call his future wife "little sister" in front of his master!
That's an even more serious offense!
Shen Qianxue, her face cold, continued to ask, "Who did this?"
Li Hei was too frightened to speak. Fu Gang replied, "Three people from the Liuli Society came, all top-level experts. They even shamelessly used hidden weapons, which is why we were tricked."
"What is their purpose? Who are they targeting?"
Shen Qianxue pinpointed the problem incisively.
Fu Gang and Li Hei exchanged a glance. They had just reviewed the entire incident, and there were many suspicious points.
Fu Gang analyzed, "The Liuli Society was probably targeting Miss Su. We were originally heading back together, but Miss Su wanted to go play by herself halfway through and asked us to go back first. On the way back, Li Hei became more and more uneasy, worried that Miss Su might be in danger, so we went back to find her."
Fu Gang casually mentioned Li Hei's wit, which could be considered as pleading for Li Hei's life.
Li Hei glanced gratefully at Fu Gang and continued, "When we found Miss Su, she was already fighting with the three members of the Liuli Society, so we don't know what they said. But during the fight, I could clearly feel that the three men treated us and Miss Su differently. They didn't seem to want to kill her; at most, they wanted to kidnap her."
Li Hei thought for a moment and then added, "Perhaps the Liuli Society found out that Miss Su is close to the Master, so they want to use her to endanger Phoenix Pavilion."
There's something fishy about this, especially since Su Jin insisted on leaving alone, but Fu Gang and Li Hei didn't express this intention.
Despite being injured, Su Jinxia saved Li Hei. Regardless of any ulterior motives involved, Fu Gang and Li Hei were willing to unconditionally believe in Su Jinxia.
After learning what had happened, Shen Qianxue did not punish Li Hei and Fu Gang, but simply dismissed them.
After spending some time in the courtyard, Shen Qianxue returned to her room. Su Jinxia was half asleep, her brow furrowed with unease.
Shen Qianxue sat down on the edge of the bed, gently raised her hand, and stroked Su Jinxia's brow.
Su Jin's lower eyelashes fluttered twice. She grabbed Shen Qianxue's mischievous hand, pouted, and softly groaned, "It hurts~"
Shen Qianxue's gaze fell on Su Jinxia's shoulder. Remembering how Su Jinxia had been chatting and laughing with Lu Ming just now, showing no sign of pain, she felt a surge of anger.
"Does it hurt? I've got Dr. Lu's secret remedy, it doesn't hurt at all!"
Su Jin opened her bright black eyes, looking extremely aggrieved, "You've been yelling at me a lot lately."
Shen Qianxue felt a tightness in her chest, unable to breathe properly, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
"Do you like him?" Shen Qianxue asked bluntly, unable to hold back her question.
"Who is it?" Su Jin felt so much pain that her mind wasn't working properly.
"The deer cry!"
"Hmm..." Su Jin thought for a moment and said seriously, "It's alright, I quite like it."
Shen Qianxue gritted her teeth, her face cold as she withdrew her hand, and stood up to leave again.
Su Jin hurriedly got up and quickly pulled Shen Qianxue's arm back, but this aggravated her wound, causing her to wince in pain.
Shen Qianxue's heart tightened, and she quickly sat back down.
