If your body is shaped like that, even the most beautiful facial features are useless.
He was dressed in a dark blue long gown, which was elegantly embroidered with green bamboo. His hair was simply piled up on his head and held in place with a wooden hairpin.
Her slender fingers held a long, thin pipe with a delicate little tobacco pouch tied to it.
The pipe was inlaid with gold and silver, and the dazzling light that Su Wanyan saw just now was the sunlight shining on his pipe and reflecting off it.
"It's amazing." The man stood in the dissipating smoke and dust, his slender fingers covering his slightly bruised lips with interest as he looked at Yu Nanqing: "Your leg has really healed."
Back then, he was absolutely certain that Yu Nanqing would never be able to stand up again.
Because the nerves connecting the body were shattered by a single blow, those who do not understand medical principles will never know how much effort it would take to restore those hundreds of millions of nerves.
He admitted that his medical skills had not yet reached that level.
Even if it were to recover completely, it would never be exactly the same as before, and the repair process would inevitably involve other damage.
Not to mention that Yu Nanqing had been paralyzed for three years, and his body was already completely lifeless.
But what he saw with his own eyes now seemed to overturn everything he had learned in his life.
Oh, that's not quite right either. In recent years, he has indeed developed a method to help paralyzed people stand up again, but it's clear that Yu Nanqing didn't stand up using that method.
Moreover, he is currently the only one who knows that method.
Su Wanyan looked at Yu Nanqing: "Who is this person who looks like a stick insect?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chensheng's lips twitched violently.
Stick insect?
"You audacious thief! State your name!" As he spoke, a group of martial monks surrounded Xiao Chensheng, looking ready to pounce.
"I am an old friend of Prince Gong. I heard that Your Highness was at the mosque, so I came here specifically to find you." Xiao Chensheng smiled nonchalantly, his lips, which looked as if they had been poisoned, supporting his elbow with one hand and holding a long pipe in the other.
The group of monks turned to look at Yu Nanqing.
Yu Nanqing's expression was somewhat serious. After remaining silent for a while, she reluctantly hummed in agreement.
Upon seeing this, the leading monk immediately put his hands together in prayer: "So you are a friend of the prince. It was this humble monk who offended you. I only hope that you will not make a big fuss next time, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
"Yes, I'll be more careful next time." Xiao Chensheng squinted his narrow eyes and put on a meek smile.
Su Wanyan didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to, but the smile on his face looked fake no matter how you looked at it.
After the group of martial monks dispersed, Xiao Chensheng strode towards Su Wanyan and Yu Nanqing.
Su Wanyan suddenly realized that although he was walking very slowly, he had arrived in front of her in just a few steps, giving her an unreal feeling.
Before she could react, Xiao Chensheng had already bent down and was close to her face, his eyes filled with an inscrutable smile: "Princess Consort Gong?"
Before Su Wanyan could even speak, Yu Nanqing had already flicked his sleeve.
With a faint trace of internal force, Xiao Chensheng leaned back and barely dodged it: "Oops, sorry for the intrusion."
He took a step back and smiled insincerely, "I was so happy to learn that Your Highness's leg ailment has been cured and you have remarried that I forgot myself for a moment. I hope Your Highness will not be offended."
"Are you the Valley Master of Hundred Nether Valley?" Su Wanyan had already guessed his identity.
Yu Nanqing's legs have been mentioned many times, making it hard not to know about them.
Xiao Chensheng smiled politely and said, "That's me."
After saying that, he opened his narrowed eyes to a narrow slit and looked at Yu Nanqing: "So, what is it that you called me here for?"
Su Wanyan was stunned. He didn't know?
From the moment Xiao Chensheng appeared, Yu Nanqing's expression was very unpleasant. He frowned and looked at Xiao Chensheng: "Why ask a question you already know the answer to?"
Xiao Chensheng spread his two slender arms: "How would I know? We've been here so long, and there's not even a place to sit, not even a glass of water. Is this how Your Highness begs?"
What's with asking for favors!
Su Wanyan grabbed Yu Nanqing's arm and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it because Yu Nanqing saved you before that you came here to repay that debt of gratitude?"
Yu Nanqing?
Xiao Chensheng was quite interested; their relationship was definitely not ordinary.
He asked with a smile, "He also told you this?"
"Your dear junior sister told me." Su Wanyan glared at him unkindly, but her body betrayed her by hiding behind Yu Nanqing's sleeve.
Xiao Chensheng's eyebrows twitched slightly; he had heard a little about this matter.
It seems that some people in the valley have been quite restless while he was away.
Xiao Chensheng changed the subject: "Why doesn't Your Highness find a quiet place to talk?"
"Let's not talk about it." Now is his time to be alone with Su Wanyan.
Yu Nanqing put his arm around Su Wanyan and turned to leave.
"Hmm." Xiao Chensheng smiled regretfully, "Your Highness used to be much more affectionate and righteous."
Yu Nanqing ignored his words, but Su Wanyan curiously turned around and looked back, only to see that Xiao Chensheng was still acting all fake.
The former Yu Nanqing?
Su Wanyan asked curiously, "When did you meet him?"
Yu Nanqing remained silent, seemingly still caught up in her displeasure.
Su Wanyan frowned and pinched his waist, making Yu Nanqing jump and come back to his senses: "Yan'er?"
"I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"
"I heard you." I'm thinking about it now.
It had been so long that he had almost forgotten, and he hesitated before asking, "Around... fifteen or sixteen years old?"
Still seventeen or eighteen years old?
He doesn't remember very clearly.
"Fifteen or sixteen years old? It's been eight or nine years now. You've known him for that long?"
Yu Nanqing frowned slightly: "To be precise, it was only a brief encounter."
"Tell me more?"
Yu Nanqing thought for a while before saying, "It was probably... the first year of Yuanhe, or... the first year of Yuanhe. The new emperor had only recently ascended the throne, and his foundation was unstable. The northern kingdom had been provoking and invading for years. Our army was ordered to go to the northern border, and we happened to encounter Xiao Chensheng, who was being chased by his enemies..."
At that time, he...
Full of vigor and righteous indignation, with a heart full of passion, they were at the age where they would draw their swords to help those in need and were full of youthful vigor.
Just then, the other side had a large number of people and they couldn't stand seeing them bullying the weak, so they took it upon themselves to save Xiao Chensheng.
When Xiao Chensheng was brought back to the army, he was punished with a beating for violating military discipline.
At that time, Xiao Chensheng was seriously injured, and it was the military doctor who saved him.
Thinking about it, Yu Nanqing remembered that a woman had indeed come to the army to look for him later. Presumably... that was Qiu Nanyan?
He didn't pay much attention to what happened afterward.
After all, he had been beaten with a military rod during the march, so he only glanced at Xiao Chensheng a few times and didn't notice who was serving him.
Several years passed after parting ways with Xiao Chensheng.
The second time they met was when Yu Nanqing returned to the capital paralyzed. It was Xiao Chensheng who took the initiative to come to his door, and that's when he learned that Xiao Chensheng was the master of Baiyou Valley.
