Zuan finally came to his senses and said in a deep voice, "You sacrificed yourself to save me, but I don't know how to repay you."
Hearing that the other party did not make any flirtatious remarks, Yan Xuehen thought that he still had some conscience. He sighed and said, "I don't need you to repay me. You saved me several times before. This is just me repaying your life-saving grace."
"Is that all?" Zuan asked instinctively.
"What else do you want?" Yan Xuehen felt inexplicably embarrassed and annoyed for some reason.
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +55 +55 +55...
Zuan fell silent for a moment; their relationship was indeed somewhat troublesome.
Seeing his silence, Yan Xuehen felt a little disappointed. This was exactly what she wanted, so why did she have such negative emotions?
Just then, Zu'an spoke up: "Sister Yan, I'll marry you."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xuehen was so frightened that she jumped up: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Zuan's breathing quickened; the woman's emotional fluctuations were fully reflected in her body: "I'm not talking nonsense. You made such a great sacrifice to save me. I know your character, and I'm not a casual person either, so I will take responsibility."
Hearing his resolute promise, Yan Xuehen suddenly felt all her previous resentment vanish. However, she immediately said, "No, this time it's purely to save you. Don't overthink it."
Zuan sighed: "Would you use this method to save other people?"
"Of course not..." Yan Xuehen realized her mistake halfway through her answer and quickly changed her words, "I admit that our relationship is indeed not very special. So many things have happened recently, and I am willing to save you like this by various coincidences, but it is really just to save you. After this, let's pretend that nothing happened and continue as before, without revealing any flaws in front of others."
yawenku.
Zuan was taken aback: "What you're implying is that we can..."
"That won't work either!" Yan Xuehen's cheeks flushed. This guy was clearly about to die, yet he was still thinking about these things?
Zuan said with distress, "But how can we pretend nothing happened after something like this has happened?"
"We have to do it even if we can't," Yan Xuehen said, biting her lip and hesitating for a moment. "Think of Chu Yan."
Upon hearing her mention Chu Yan, Zu An immediately fell silent. Yes, after all, they were master and disciple.
Although they often talk about jockeys and bastards, those were just jokes on the internet in their previous lives. The master-disciple relationship in this world, while not as serious as in the ancient society of Earth in their previous life, is by no means something that can be ignored.
"Alright, don't think about that anymore. What happened today was an accident. Forget about it afterward. Even if you can't forget it, I will never admit it. Don't blame me for turning against you then." Yan Xuehen used both soft and hard tactics, feeling a little annoyed. Why did I have to coax him when I was the one who suffered the loss?
"But this is too unfair to you," Zu An said, looking at her with pity.
When she met the affection in his eyes, Yan Xuehen's heart skipped a beat. She didn't dare to look him in the eye and hurriedly said, "I'm not wronged. You should understand what I care about most and what I pursue every day. Forgetting each other in the world is the best choice for me."
"But I don't want to forget." Zu'an knew her personality well; she would never agree to be with him.
Yan Xuehen was a little annoyed. No matter what she said, this guy just wouldn't listen. So she had no choice but to harden her heart: "You saved me several times, so I'm returning your life, but the method I used was... a little unusual. It doesn't mean I have any feelings for you. You don't naively think I've fallen in love with you, do you?"
"Besides, the reason you gave me that 'unbreakable bond' was probably because of that influence me to save you. I'm already being kind by not hating you, so don't flatter yourself."
She regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth, wondering if she had been too cruel.
However, she was also upset at the moment, and her rational mind told her to cut the Gordian knot, so she opened her mouth but ultimately did not explain anything.
Zuan had a general idea of what she meant by those words, but he wasn't entirely sure. After all, a month ago, if he had said that the revered Abbot of Baiyujing was so close to him, people would have laughed at him.
Perhaps the silence created an awkward atmosphere, Yan Xuehen frowned: "Is your injury healed?"
“It does help, but it’s far from good,” Zuan replied.
Yan Xuehen frowned: "Just tell me how I can help you."
This sacrifice is so great; if she can't cure him, she probably won't be able to sleep well in the future.
Zuan's expression was strange: "You'll help? I'm afraid you'll kill me if I tell you."
Yan Xuehen was taken aback. Originally, she was discussing the issue of healing with a purely academic mindset, but she was not stupid and immediately understood the meaning behind her words.
She was deeply embarrassed: "What time is it? You're still thinking about such nonsense... Hey, don't move!"
"I'm healing."
"..."
Although Yan Xuehen knew his intentions, how could she refuse under these circumstances?
The most important thing is to heal his injuries. As for the rest, let's forget about it afterward.
But Zu'an was also quite annoyed by her attitude, and he wanted her to remember it for the rest of her life.
Although Yan Xuehen was a Grandmaster, she was still a young girl, and was weakened by her serious injuries. She was no match for the seasoned veterans of the battlefield, and was quickly routed.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Xuehen lazily got up from the hot spring. As soon as she got up, she stumbled and almost lost her balance. She couldn't help but glare fiercely at the culprit.
