Xiao Liuchen was halfway through his sentence when he looked up at Lu Qingyan and said inexplicably, "Master, don't worry, I've got everything covered."
Lu Qingyan smiled slightly upon hearing this: "Oh, it seems my disciple's kung fu is quite good." People who practice martial arts regularly have great physiques! I wonder what Xiao Liuchen is like?
Xiao Liuchen said modestly, "I only know a little bit, but that's enough for me to stay by my master's side."
Perhaps it was fate that gave Xiao Liuchen a chance to fulfill his promise, for the next moment a knife slashed in from outside the carriage curtain.
With a "rip," the carriage curtain was split in two, and Xiao Liuchen quickly pulled Lu Qingyan to shield him.
Lu Qingyan: "!"
Xiao Liuchen, you son of a bitch! You treacherous bastard who betrayed his master! What happened to protecting your master?
In a play, it's the male lead's job to shield a damsel in distress from a knife; he's supposed to be a hero saving a damsel in distress. But in reality: hero saving a damsel in distress, shielding a damsel in distress from a knife? That's not part of Young Master Xiao's life motto.
Not only does it not exist, but it also used Lu Qingyan as a shield! It's destined to be a life of solitude.
The knife wound wasn't particularly serious for Lu Qingyan, but Xiao Liuchen's anger made her faint. Naturally, she didn't know that after she fainted, Xiao Liuchen gently held her in his arms and applied medicine.
"Oh, Master looks so adorable." He reached out and pinched Lu Qingyan's round face.
"Master, all these people have been dealt with." Not daring to disturb his master and the young lady's time alone, Xiao Shiqi knocked on the carriage shaft from outside and whispered.
Xiao Liuchen hugged the person in his arms a little tighter and said casually, "Once it's settled, let's go. Why are you still looking for me?"
"But sir, Miss He's mother and younger brother are slightly injured, and we need Miss He to come and take a look at them." So, sir, please send Miss He out first.
Xiao Liuchen narrowed his eyes: "Go and tell them that Miss He is also injured and unconscious. Let Doctor Su, who is with us, take a look at them first."
"Miss He is injured?" Xiao Shiqi exclaimed in surprise. This shouldn't be happening. With his master's skills, dealing with these petty thieves was more than enough. How could he just stand by and watch Miss He get hurt? Could it be that he was wrong, and his master had no feelings for Miss He at all, keeping her around just to torment her? But that doesn't make sense either. His master either doesn't bother with people or simply hands them over to a private jail. When has he ever done something so childish?
Xiao Liuchen said unhappily, "What, you're very concerned about Miss He?"
Having served her master for so many years, how could she not know what he was thinking? Xiao Shiqi easily detected the jealousy in Xiao Liuchen's words and quickly clarified, "I'm only worried about my master, I don't care about Miss He at all."
Xiao Liuchen nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, then lowered his head and kissed Lu Qingyan's brow: "Master, it's all my fault for getting you injured. Don't worry, your disciple will take good care of you during this time and take responsibility for you."
Xiao Shiqi, who had only taken a few steps, could still hear Xiao Liuchen's mutterings, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground. "Master, so you deliberately injured Miss He? But isn't doing this just pushing her further away?"
Xiao Liuchen was unaware of Xiao Shiqi's worries; he was still dreaming that Lu Qingyan would be so moved by his efforts in taking care of her that she would repay him with her body.
Even the system couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to conjure up a bite to Xiao Liuchen to see how this guy's head was structured.
