When Xie Wei returned home, only Xu Daiwei was there. Su Miaomiao and Su Tang had gone back to the Su family for something important—the matter of the next head of the Su family.
Upon seeing Xie Wei return home, Xu Daiwei called out to him anxiously, "Brother, Li Ning is back, but she's covered in injuries and seems to be unconscious. Come up and check on her quickly!"
Just minutes before Xie Wei returned home, Xu Daiwei heard the doorbell and assumed it was Xie Wei coming back. When she opened the door, she found Li Ning standing there in a very disheveled state, covered in dust, with messy hair and dried blood at the corner of his mouth.
Before Xu Daiwei could even greet her long-lost friend, the other person collapsed into her arms.
This terrified Xu Daiwei, who quickly carried the other woman upstairs to her room to rest. While changing her clothes, she noticed severe injuries on her arms, back, and thighs.
Fortunately, as an assassin, Li Ning was agile enough, and Xu Daiwei's skill level was also quite high, so the whole process only took a few minutes.
Then Xie Wei went home.
Upon hearing Xu Daiwei's words, Xie Wei immediately went upstairs to check.
In this emergency, Xie Wei disregarded the difference between men and women and gently lifted the clothes off Li Ning's arm.
It was immediately noticeable that there was residual spiritual energy on the wound, indicating that Li Ning had fought before coming here and that the spiritual energy had not yet dissipated. Either he had escaped here, or he had used all his spiritual energy for something else after the fight.
Xie had reason to suspect that this girl was meant for traveling.
Without hesitation, I dialed a number.
"Hey, what brings you here so late, Young Master Xie?" Lu Yao's voice on the other end of the line sounded casual yet serious.
He said, "Come to my house," and then hung up the phone.
Less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lu Yao indeed appeared in the room, his fingertips radiating spiritual energy as he felt Xu Daiwei's pulse, and spoke:
"It's nothing serious, just that my spiritual energy was depleted and I was injured. Simply put, I was too tired. I'm sound asleep and just need to rest as usual."
"However, she might have pushed herself a bit too hard, damaging her foundation. I initially thought it was a serious problem, but with you here, it should be fine..." He paused, then tossed something to Xie Wei. "Here! Remember to apply this to her. It's my secret formula; it not only heals wounds but also prevents scarring."
"Okay, I understand," Xie Wei said, looking at Li Ning lying on the bed, his face still showing concern.
"Alright, don't you trust me with my help?" Lu Yao packed his things, preparing to leave. "You and your sister-in-law don't need to worry too much; she's doing well."
Hearing Lu Yao say this, Xie Wei's slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he opened his mouth slightly, saying, "Thanks."
Xie Wei escorted Lu Yao to the door. Lu Yao glanced at Xie Wei curiously, then smiled slightly.
He was somewhat confused by Lu Yao's smile, and asked with displeasure, "What?"
"As I just mentioned, she damaged the foundation; now let's talk about the solution."
“Normally, damage to one’s foundation is impossible to recover without rare and precious materials, but during my examination just now, I discovered that her spiritual energy can complement yours, which means that the cultivation methods you practice also have a complementary effect.”
"As long as the two of you can unite, with the help of the cultivation technique, her damaged foundation will gradually recover."
"In short, the more you do it, the faster the injury will heal," Lu Yao said bluntly.
Xie Wei, with a calm expression, closed the door and forcibly saw the guest out, but a closer look revealed that the tips of his ears were already tinged with embarrassment.
Xie Wei went upstairs, where Xu Daiwei had already applied the medicine Lu Yao had given to Li Ning.
"How could she have suffered such serious injuries and still rush back so desperately?" Xu Daiwei said, holding Xie Wei's hand and looking at Li Ningjing's peaceful sleeping face.
Xie Wei didn't have an answer to this question, but someone who could answer it came to his door.
Xie Wei and Xu Daiwei opened the door and saw a man with short red hair and a scar on his face. It was none other than Xiu Luo.
Xie Wei was slightly taken aback, then invited the other party to come in and sit down.
Xu Daiwei brought over the tea set, Xie Wei kissed her forehead, nodded to her, and she bowed slightly to Xiu Luo before going upstairs.
Xie Wei brewed a cup of tea for Xiu Luo. Xiu Luo took a sip and couldn't help but admire Xie Wei's brewing technique.
Setting down his teacup, Shura straightened his expression and slowly began to speak.
“Li Ning developed a deep-seated emotional block after being abandoned by her parents at a young age. Neither her mentor nor I were able to notice it in time, which led to some emotional deficiencies in her. This is also related to her speaking habits.”
"However, as she took on missions and played certain roles to get closer to the target, she gradually experienced anger, sorrow, and joy."
"We are happy to see her becoming more and more able to express her emotions."
"But she just couldn't understand the emotion of joy, just as she couldn't understand hope, and remained like a walking corpse."
"We can't clearly explain the emotion of 'joy,' we can only describe it roughly, but she's not interested in it."
"She was curious about the word 'like' after she came back from your place, and she even asked her master about it."
"I don't know what they talked about, I only know that her master told me that she has someone she likes, and that person is the one who protects her."
"While I'm happy for Li Ning, I also have a pretty good impression of you. I trust Ning Ning's judgment and I've investigated you. Later, I went to your residence to give you the Shura Token and the book 'Shura,' entrusting Li Ning's future to you as well."
"So that token is..." Xie Wei already knew the answer.
