Gu Zhan's expression changed instantly, and he subtly withdrew his arm, saying, "It's nothing, just a minor injury."
Xu Nian persisted, frowning as she asked, "How did you get that?"
Seeing this, Gu Zhan remained silent for a moment before speaking succinctly, "I accidentally bumped into something while handling official business."
Xu Nian found the explanation of "accidentally bumping into something" completely unbelievable.
She immediately took out some wound medicine from her pocket and carefully poured it onto his arm.
Gu Zhan remained expressionless throughout, silently watching Xu Nian's actions.
"You need to rest well," Xu Nian instructed as she carefully applied the medicine.
Fortunately, she carried a lot of medicine with her just in case.
Are all the general's jobs extremely dangerous? It seems like he gets injured every day.
"Of course, he's a great general. Aren't all the things the emperor's subordinates can't do done by him?"
Do you think the emperor ordered him to investigate the princes?
This sparked a flurry of activity in the live chat, with viewers making wild guesses.
Xu Nian found it amusing and casually asked, "Did you go to purge the rebels under the prince?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan paused for a moment, then nodded silently, "Indeed, but how did you know?"
For a moment, Xu Nian was stunned.
She just made a random guess, and she actually got it right?
Before Xu Nian could even express her feelings, Nilu, standing beside her, exclaimed in shock, "Is this person from the capital?"
Nilu hadn't interrupted the conversation, but she had been listening intently. She overheard a few words about the prince and only then did she belatedly realize what was going on.
The man who was protecting Xu Nian as she returned to her house seemed to be someone of considerable importance...
“Uh.” Xu Nian glanced at Gu Zhan and noticed that his brows were slightly furrowed, and she understood.
She began to explain, "He often goes to the capital and does rather complicated work, right?"
As she spoke, Xu Nian nudged Gu Zhan's other intact arm and winked.
"good."
Gu Zhan, his face cold, accepted Xu Nian's offer and said, "I'm not very familiar with the capital either, please forgive me."
"Ah, it's nothing."
Nilu naturally didn't think anything of it. After waving her hand, her expression became worried again.
"The wolf clan will probably not let this go."
Based on her memories of the wolf clan, she knew that they were not a race that would back down after one defeat.
Instead, they will become more and more courageous in battle, until they finally completely dominate the clan!
Thinking of this, Nilu's body trembled involuntarily.
Xu Nian saw the worry in her heart and took the initiative to speak, "We managed to withstand this attack, but what about the next one? Are you just going to sit here and wait to die?"
It's hard to imagine what a desolate state the clan would have been in if Xu Nian hadn't happened to pass by and saved Nilu!
Upon hearing this, Nilu lowered her head slightly in shame, but had no way to refute it.
Indeed, from the very beginning they relied excessively on Xu Nian, and in the end they even needed her intervention to turn the tide. This was not something that members of the clan should do!
Seeing that Nilu's expression gradually hardened, Xu Nian didn't say anything more.
Once Xu Nian had recovered, Nilu immediately said, "We might be holding a meeting of the tribespeople later, so please come with me. Everyone is very grateful to you."
Hearing this, Xu Nian had no reason to refuse and glanced at Gu Zhan.
Although he was somewhat surprised, he did not say anything to refuse.
So Xu Nian simply replied, "Okay, we'll go in a bit."
Immediately, Nilu beamed with joy and walked away.
Why does it seem like the streamer recovered faster this time than last time?
[Of course it's all thanks to us! This battle was so exciting, I couldn't help but send a lot of gifts.]
[Me too! The streamer's magic power must have increased to a whole new level now.]
Seeing the eager comments on the screen, Xu Nian didn't ignore them and focused her attention on checking her account balance.
"hiss!"
A short while later, Xu Nian opened her eyes and gasped.
What's going on with this account balance having so many zeros that it's almost impossible to count them all?
Wow, the streamer is really rich now!
[Report this! The title even says you'll be eating dirt after time-traveling, what a scam!]
Xu Nian concealed her joy and replied with a smile, "Why would a streamer lie? I've earned so much money because of you guys!"
After Xu Nian felt that her magic power had recovered, the two went out to the place where Nilu was holding a meeting.
Inside the room was a large crowd of people, each with a different expression, discussing something.
Upon seeing Xu Nian enter the room, everyone stopped their discussion and stared at her with admiration and gratitude.
Xu Nian was still feeling flattered, but before she could speak, Nilu beside her exclaimed excitedly as if reviewing a military parade, "This is the hero who saved our clan, Xu Nian!"
"Clap clap clap!"
Instantly, they clapped excitedly, echoing each other's sentiments.
"Thank you so much, Lord Xu Nian!"
"Yes, if it weren't for your godlike attack, we would probably be dead by now!"
"We are truly grateful to you."
Looking at the unfamiliar faces thanking her, Xu Nian felt a strange, indescribable feeling.
After a moment, she smiled sweetly and said, "I understand."
Xu Nian then changed the subject, "How did your discussions go?"
Upon hearing this, the previously passionate crowd immediately adopted a conflicted expression.
"The wolves are determined not to let this go, but we've discussed at length what methods they will use next."
The elder spoke slowly, his voice aged, but his eyes were extremely clear, "We are inclined to believe they will attack again at night, so we need to increase patrols."
"But if that's all there is to it, we have no way to deal with them."
The Sixth Elder then responded, "Strengthening patrols is important, but what's even more important is that we find a way to defeat them at their root."
The room fell silent after he said that.
What he said is very true, and it is indeed a major problem that the clan is facing now.
How to defeat the wolves?
Xu Nian had specially prepared a magical weapon for them, but they were unable to defeat the opponent within the time limit...
A sense of powerlessness suddenly swept over everyone.
Just as Xu Nian was about to speak, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door.
Immediately afterward, a small team walked in, looking flustered.
"Your Highness!"
Nilu waved for them to stand up. "Speak."
The leading soldier stammered for a while before bending down to answer, "The wolf clan has arrived."
"What?!"
Immediately, everyone became alert and shouted, "Why aren't you going to fight?"
The soldier's expression, however, was somewhat indescribable.
"They didn't come to fight; it seems... they came to sue for peace."
