Qin Wan's sprain was not serious. In addition, Xiao Ci was willing to use good medicine and use spiritual power to help remove the bruising. In just a quarter of an hour, Qin Wan's swollen ankle recovered completely.
Upon seeing this, a fleeting look of melancholy crossed Qin Wan's eyes.
The moment Xiao Ci released her ankle and stood up, Qin Wan hurriedly tried to stand up as well...
Seeing this, Xiao Ci frowned slightly and reached out to press her back onto the ice bench.
"Why are you getting up?"
"My foot is fine now, I can continue practicing swordsmanship..." Qin Wan said, feigning strength and eagerness to learn.
Xiao Ci's hand remained on her shoulder, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at her with disapproval.
"There should be a limit to how hard you study."
"Your foot injury has just healed, there's no need to rush."
As he spoke, Xiao Ci sat down beside her, casually took her hand, and channeled his spiritual energy into her wrist...
"Your spiritual power is growing rapidly, and your foundation is solid. Not bad."
My older brother praised someone again!
What is it about Qin Wan that makes her elder brother so devoted to her?
Xiao Ye stared intently at Qin Wan, as if trying to discover something from her.
"What are you looking at?"
"Do you understand the saying 'An elder sister-in-law is like a mother'?"
Xiao Ci's icy gaze had just landed on Xiao Ye when Qin Qing spoke first, before he could even open his mouth.
Xiao frowned, staring at Qin Qing with an unpleasant expression. "Don't you know any shame, woman?"
"Brother and Wan'er are completely innocent. What are you really thinking when you say such things?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qing paused, realizing that times had changed and that she had spoken too quickly and hadn't paid attention to her words. If this got out, it would indeed be bad for Qin Wan.
Thinking of this, Qin Qing ignored Xiao Ye and subconsciously looked at Qin Wan, her face showing a faint apology.
"Wan'er, I didn't mean it..."
Seeing this, Qin Wan gave Qin Qing a reassuring smile, then looked at Xiao Ci beside her and explained, "Brother Xiao, my sister didn't mean it."
"Hmm." Xiao Ci lowered his eyes and looked straight at her. "It's because I didn't do well enough. After leaving the Monster Forest, I will go to the Qin family to propose marriage as soon as possible. At that time, you and I will be in a legitimate relationship and no one will dare to object."
As he said this, Xiao Ci's gaze swept lightly over Xiao Ye.
"..." Xiao's face stiffened, and his expression turned slightly ugly.
"Brother, marriage is not a child's play, and it should not be taken lightly."
"Moreover, because of the annulment of the engagement, the Qin family... I'm afraid they won't agree to continue fulfilling this marriage agreement."
Seeing Xiao Ye's hesitant expression, Xiao Ci glanced at him indifferently and said rather rudely, "That's for you."
"We are different."
Xiao Ye: "..."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Qin Qing nodded in agreement.
"The Xiao family head is not someone that ordinary people can compare to." As she spoke, Qin Qing glanced at Xiao Ye with obvious disdain and contempt in her eyes.
Xiao Ye: "..."
"Don't worry, Patriarch Xiao. When I get home, I will definitely put in a good word for you with my mother and father."
"Speaking of which, we sisters are really grateful for your care in the Monster Forest these past few days, Patriarch Xiao. If it weren't for you, Wan'er and I don't know what would have happened to us."
As she spoke, Qin Qing paused, then looked at Qin Wan with a gratified expression.
"Speaking of which, Wan'er was able to break the seal in her body and restore her talent for cultivation thanks to Patriarch Xiao."
"We, Wan'er and I, will never forget the great kindness and virtue shown by Patriarch Xiao."
Seeing Qin Qing like this, Xiao felt extremely unfamiliar. For a moment, he couldn't help but wonder if the Qin Qing in front of him was really the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Qin family that he knew.
In my memory, Qin Qing was proud and aloof, a prodigy of the Xiao family, and an unattainable snow lotus in the eyes of the world.
Then look at Qin Qing in front of him... her delicate and aloof face is filled with a gentle smile, and her expression is as kind as can be when she looks at Xiao Ci.
She's completely different from the Qin Qing I remember!
After Qin Qing finished speaking, Xiao Ci glanced at Xiao Ye with a cold gaze, "The mistress is indeed not satisfactory."
Xiao Ye: "???"
Not entirely satisfactory?
To say he's not entirely satisfactory?
What does my brother mean?
Xiao was so angry that his chest heaved violently, and he felt like he could hardly catch his breath.
Unfortunately, none of the three people present paid him any attention, nor did they care whether he was angry or not.
"I'll demonstrate it again, and you can watch carefully."
Xiao Ci suddenly spoke, and as he spoke, he took Qin Wan's hand, took the sword from her hand, and stood up.
"Whoosh!"
"Clang clang clang!"
Xiao Ci, dressed in a moon-white robe, held a long sword and danced in the wind.
Wherever the sword tip passed, the ice wall shattered into countless ice shards, scattering across the ground...
In just a few breaths, Xiao Ci finished practicing a whole set of sword techniques and returned to Qin Wan's side.
"Can you see it clearly now?"
The man looked down at her with gentle eyes.
Qin Wan looked up... and her gaze unexpectedly met his eyes.
The moment their eyes met, Xiao Ci's eyes were filled with undisguised tenderness and doting affection.
Qin Wan was taken aback at first, then her cheeks flushed slightly and her eyes showed a hint of panic.
"Look, look clearly now." As she spoke, Qin Wan hurriedly looked away, trying to avoid Xiao Ci's scorching gaze.
Seeing her awkward reaction, Xiao Ci's thin lips curved slightly, and a hint of pleasure appeared in his eyes.
[Xiao Ci's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 82.]
Xiao felt very uncomfortable watching this. He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to speak.
His gaze remained fixed on Qin Wan and Xiao Ci, unwilling to look away...
until……
Xiao Ci's cold, dark eyes looked at him.
"Judging from the mistress's confident demeanor, could it be that she already has a way to counter this illusion?"
"..." Xiao choked, a hint of embarrassment appearing in his eyes.
"Not yet..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ci's expression turned slightly cold, and his tone became slightly somber, "Don't forget, you only have two days."
Xiao Ye's pupils contracted, and his handsome face was filled with disbelief.
"Isn't it three days?" Xiao blurted out.
Xiao Ci glanced at him indifferently, his eyes slightly cold, "It seems that the third party thinks two days is too much time..."
Hearing this, Xiao panicked and interrupted Xiao Ci before he could finish speaking.
Two days!
"Just two days!"
"I promised my elder brother that I would break the illusion and magic here within two days."
Xiao Ci stared at him with her cold, dark eyes for several seconds before calmly looking away.
"Um."
After receiving Xiao Ci's approval, Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness...
Seeing Xiao's pathetic and embarrassing state, Qin Qing's lips curled up into a shameless smile.
"Tsk tsk..."
"You think you can compete with the Xiao family head?"
"I don't know where you get your confidence from."
"..." Xiao's breath hitched, and his face stiffened.
After glancing at the two of them briefly, Xiao Ci ignored them and turned back to sit down next to Qin Wan, looking at her with a gentle expression.
Are you feeling unwell?
Qin Wan shook her head, "Much better, I'm fine now."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ci naturally took her hand, his long, warm fingertips resting on her wrist, and his spiritual energy expertly probed into her body to examine her...
