The smell of disinfectant in the ward was gradually replaced by the aroma of various nourishing herbal soups.
For two whole days, Qin Xiao enjoyed treatment that could only be described as royalty. Qin Ruoyan's chicken soup, Su Wanying's bird's nest stew, Gu Siqing's top-grade nutritional supplements, Nie Beini's exotic tonics, and even Leng Nan, unusually blushing, served him a bowl of dark, supposedly highly nourishing medicinal food under Mo Meigui's "guidance"...
Surrounded by beautiful women offering words of comfort and concern, Qin Xiao felt that if he lay down any longer, it might not be because of his injuries, but because he would need emergency treatment due to "overnutrition."
Fortunately, his physical foundation was indeed strong. In addition to the physical enhancement reward from the system, and the fact that although the backlash was severe, it seemed to have also subtly stimulated the deeper potential of his body, Qin Xiao felt that he had not only recovered from his injuries in just two days, but also had more energy than before he was injured.
On the morning of the third day, the sun shone brightly. Qin Xiao stretched and loosened his muscles, making a series of cracking sounds. The screen of his phone on the bedside table lit up, displaying a schedule reminder—[Leng Family Annual Martial Arts Exchange Meeting].
They've arrived.
Qin Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly. According to the original plot, this martial arts competition in the Leng family should have been an important stage for Ye Chen to shine, further consolidate his relationship with the Leng family, and take the opportunity to suppress other younger generations, demonstrating his power as the "chosen one." Unfortunately, Ye Chen is probably still in some detention center contemplating life, wondering why his once smooth-sailing destiny has suddenly become so bumpy.
"Ink Rose." Qin Xiao stood up, his voice steady.
"Young Master." Mo Meigui appeared silently at the door like a ghost, holding a neatly pressed black casual suit in her hands.
Qin Xiao changed his clothes and quickly washed up. The man in the mirror had a ruddy complexion and sharp eyes. His previous fatigue and paleness were gone, replaced by a more reserved yet dangerous aura.
"Let's go to the Leng family and see what's going on." Qin Xiao's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
...
The capital city, the Leng family manor.
Unlike other aristocratic families whose styles range from luxurious to rustic, the Leng family manor exudes a somber and rugged military atmosphere. The vast training ground is now bustling with people, banners fluttering in the breeze. Representatives from various families and martial arts sects in the capital have gathered, creating a vibrant and enthusiastic atmosphere.
When Qin Xiao led Mo Meigui into the training ground, the previously noisy scene fell silent for a moment, followed by even more heated discussions and a chorus of gazes.
"Look! It's that person from the Qin family!"
"Qin Xiao? What's he doing here? I heard he was seriously injured a few days ago..."
"Seriously injured? He looks perfectly fine! Haven't you heard? He was the one who solved the massacre of the Liu family! He single-handedly resolved the bizarre situation that even the police couldn't handle!"
"Really? The Liu family incident is all over the news, everyone's saying it's a vengeful ghost seeking revenge..."
"What kind of vengeful ghost! Insider information says it was Ye Chen who did it, and it even involves some kind of evil magic! Qin Xiao crippled Ye Chen on the spot and saved the only survivor of the Liu family!"
"Wow... That's fierce! No wonder even Old Master Leng came out to greet us personally!"
As expected, from the main position of the martial arts arena, the white-haired but vigorous patriarch of the Leng family, Leng Jianjun, had already led several elders of the Leng family to greet them. Standing beside him was an equally distinguished old man, none other than the patriarch of the Shen family, Shen Hong.
"Young friend Qin, how is your recovery?" Leng Jianjun's voice was loud and clear, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration. Having spent his life in the military, he held the utmost respect for capable and responsible young people. Qin Xiao's performance in the Liu family incident undoubtedly earned the approval of this senior military figure.
"Thank you for your concern, Elder Leng. I'm all better now," Qin Xiao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Haha, good! Young man, you've got a strong recovery!" Shen Hong also walked forward with a smile, patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder, "I've heard about the Liu family's matter, well done! You've brought honor to us old guys in the capital!"
"Grandpa Shen, you flatter me." Qin Xiao's gaze passed over Grandpa Shen and landed on the dashing figure behind him.
Shen Xingling wasn't wearing her police uniform today, but rather a tight-fitting sports vest and trousers that perfectly accentuated her stunning figure, exuding a healthy and powerful beauty. Seeing Qin Xiao looking over, her usually cheerful and outgoing face flushed slightly, and she turned her head away shyly, but couldn't help sneaking a glance back and waving at him.
"Officer Shen, instead of catching bad guys today, you've come here to spar?" Qin Xiao walked up with a smile and teased.
"You... what nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Xingling's cheeks flushed even redder at his teasing. With a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, she playfully punched Qin Xiao's arm with her small fist. "I came here to participate in the martial arts competition! But you, you just recovered from your injury and came here. Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up?"
That blow was soft and gentle; it was less like a slap and more like a playful act.
Qin Xiao was about to tease her a bit more when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if two icy gazes were about to pierce through him. He glanced around discreetly and, sure enough, saw Leng Nan standing not far away.
Leng Nan was still dressed in her smart training uniform, her face as cold as ice, her eyes sharp. At this moment, she was staring intently at Qin Xiao and Shen Xingling, her gaze seeming to say, "Ha, men, they can't move when they see big breasts?"
What made Qin Xiao's scalp tingle even more was that he clearly saw Leng Nan's lips twitch extremely slightly, as if she was imitating Shen Xingling's coquettish punching action just now, except that her imitation was full of stiffness and a kind of... chilling "murderous aura".
