Jun Wuxian picked up the teacup and drank it slowly. Seeing Xu Qingqing looking at him in shock, he chuckled, "Are you scared?"
“Why would I be scared? He deserves it!” Xu Qingqing was indignant. She looked at Jun Wuxian with some worry, “But, aren’t you afraid? If the Mei family pursues the matter, you’ll be in trouble.”
Jun Wuxian said dimly, "I'm not even afraid of killing people, so of course I'm not afraid of being held accountable. Didn't you say he deserved it?"
Seeing that Jun Wuxian really didn’t seem to be afraid, Xu Qingqing thought of his great martial arts skills and said, “If something really happens, you should run away first and let my father clean up the mess.”
"Since I dare to do it, I am not afraid. You don't have to worry about me." Jun Wuxian picked up the teacup and took a few sips of hot tea slowly.
"By the way, I've been missing for so long, my father and the others must be worried, I want to go back." Xu Qingqing said as she stood up and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Jun Wuxian.
"It's late now. You have a wound on your face. You should rest more. I'll ask Chu Zhao to go back and tell your father that you are safe."
Xu Qingqing hesitated, "But what if my father doesn't believe it?"
"Your father is a general and has his own judgment. If they were kidnappers, would they report safety to your father?" Jun Wuxian asked back.
Xu Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense. Then ask Chu Zhao to tell my father that I'm fine so he can rest assured."
Jun Wuxian asked: "Did you hear it?"
Chu Zhao, who was guarding the door, hurriedly replied: "I heard it. I will go to the capital to deliver the letter now."
This place is still quite a distance away from the capital, so Chu Zhao rode a fast horse back to report his safety.
After Xu Qingqing had eaten and drunk her fill, she felt sleepy, but she didn't want to sleep for fear that when she woke up, she would find out that she was dreaming and Jun Wuxian didn't come down from the sky to save her.
Xu Qingqing had been very frightened these past two days. After Jun Wuxian comforted her to lie down on the bed, he said, "Rest first. If you have anything to say, knock on the wall. I can hear you from next door."
Jun Wuxian stood up and was about to leave after he finished speaking, but before he took a step he felt someone tugging at his sleeve. He turned around and saw Xu Qingqing's eyes filled with reluctance.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Qingqing didn't dare to fall asleep now, let alone stay in the room alone. Only when Jun Wuxian was by her side could she feel at ease.
Seeing that she remained silent, Jun Wuxian asked again, "What's wrong?"
Xu Qingqing hesitated for a while, "I'm scared, can you stay with me?"
Jun Wuxian smiled faintly: "I thought it was something, if you don't mind..."
Before he could finish, Xu Qingqing rushed to answer, "I don't mind."
"Okay then." Jun Wuxian came back, lifted up his clothes and sat down again.
Xu Qingqing grabbed Jun Wuxian's sleeve, and she didn't feel relieved until he sat down.
"Jun Wuxian, will I be disfigured?"
Jun Wuxian saw the knife wound on her face with his own eyes. It was very deep, with flesh and blood protruding outward. He didn't know whether Xu Qingqing's face could be restored to its original state. He couldn't give her hope and then let her down.
"Do you care so much about your appearance?"
Xu Qingqing said: "Of course, the two most important things for a girl are reputation and face. Without one of them, life is worse than death."
Jun Wuxian corrected him: "The most important thing is to stay alive."
Xu Qingqing retorted: "But if you lose these two things, what's the point of living?"
Jun Wuxian comforted him, "Women dress up to please themselves. If the person who appreciates you doesn't care about your appearance, then you can ignore those external things."
Xu Qingqing asked back: "If I ask you to marry an ugly person, would you be willing?"
Jun Wuxian asked doubtfully, "Why would I marry an ugly woman?"
Xu Qingqing was stunned when she heard this. Yes, who would want to marry an ugly woman? I'm afraid that the blind date man she had rejected before would not want to marry her either.
"Even you said you wouldn't marry an ugly woman, let alone other men. Who doesn't look at the face? I look at the face too."
As Xu Qingqing spoke, she lowered her eyes in grievance. When she didn't see Jun Wuxian, she was still thinking that if he came back, she would confess her love to him.
Now that this has happened, how can she still express her feelings? How can she have the nerve to express her feelings?
Jun Wuxian paused when he heard this. It was normal for girls to care about their appearance.
"I'll find you the best doctor to treat the wound on your face."
Xu Qingqing looked at Jun Wuxian as he tried to comfort her seriously. She was not stupid. If he said that, her face would definitely not be healed.
"I told my brother before that I was too picky to get married. Now it's not me who chooses others, but others who choose me. Even so, I don't want to marry casually."
"I am destined to live alone in this life."
Xu Qingqing spoke the last sentence very quietly, as if she was talking to herself.
Jun Wuxian had extraordinary hearing and he still heard it. He lowered his eyes to look at Xu Qingqing, only to see that her eyes were closed and her breathing was even. It was obvious that she was asleep.
When had he ever seen Xu Qingqing so sad? The Xu Qingqing he knew was confident and a little arrogant, but just the right amount to not be annoying.
Just the disfigurement was enough to destroy her arrogance.
When he saw that she was holding a corner of his sleeve in her hand, he realized that she had never let go since she grabbed it just now.
At this time, the general's mansion was brightly lit.
Chu Zhao rushed back to the capital overnight and rode his horse all the way to the general's mansion.
As soon as Chu Zhao got off his horse and walked to the general's mansion, he was stopped by two guards. "The general is busy and will not receive guests for the time being."
Chu Zhao didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose, "I came to the general's mansion on the orders of Miss Xu."
The guards looked at each other, then took Chu Zhao in to see the general.
General Xu is already in his early fifties. He has been active outdoors on the battlefield for many years and has a healthy wheat-colored complexion.
The guard came in early to report, "General, someone said that the lady sent someone back and wanted to see you."
When the general heard the news about his daughter, he immediately perked up and said, "Let him in."
Chu Zhao followed the guards in and stepped forward to salute, "General Xu, Miss Xu asked me to come back and tell General Xu that Miss Xu is doing well now, so that General Xu can rest assured."
General Xu stood up abruptly upon hearing this and asked, "Where is my daughter? Why didn't she come back to tell you?"
Chu Zhao replied calmly, "Don't worry, General. Miss Xu will be back tomorrow, and General Xu can ask her in person then."
Xu Changfeng took a few steps forward and asked, "Are you sure my sister is safe now?"
Chu Zhao said: "Miss Xu is safe now. It would be better for General Xu to ask Miss Xu in person tomorrow what happened."
Only after repeated confirmation did General Xu believe that his daughter was fine.
The next day, when Xu Qingqing woke up, she saw Jun Wuxian sitting beside the bed. She found that he was staring at her without blinking, and her face turned red.
"Why are you still by my bed?"

Jun Wuxian glanced at the large piece of sleeve in her hand and said, "Take a look for yourself."
Xu Qingqing looked at her own hand in confusion and found that her hand was tightly grasping Jun Wuxian's sleeve and pressing it under his head.
She actually grabbed him all night? Jun Wuxian wanted to go out to wash up when he saw the daybreak, but Xu Qingqing grabbed his sleeve and pressed it down. He tried to use more force but was afraid of waking her up, so he had to continue sitting and waiting for her to wake up.
Xu Qingqing awkwardly loosened her sleeves and let Jun Wuxian leave.
After they finished washing up, they sat at the dining table to eat.
Jun Wuxian picked up his chopsticks and ate slowly, "After lunch, I'll take you home."
Xu Qingqing nodded vigorously, "Yes, they must be worried about me."
Jun Wuxian picked up a lot of dishes for her, "Eat more. Your parents will definitely feel bad when they see you lose weight."
"Now, they can't force me to go on a blind date. Who wants an ugly guy?" Xu Qingqing ate the food Jun Wuxian picked for her. After a night of settling down, she still couldn't accept the fact that she was disfigured.
Jun Wuxian soothed him, "What's most important is what's on the inside. Pretty skins are all the same, but interesting souls are rare to find. Do you understand?"
Xu Qingqing felt that this sentence was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
Suddenly, she had an idea.
I remembered it, it was a sentence from a storybook.
She looked at Jun Wuxian with confusion, "Where did you hear this sentence from?"
Uh! Jun Wuxian paused after hearing this, and then said perfunctorily: "I heard it from others."
Xu Qingqing didn't believe it. "Why do I remember it was a sentence from a storybook?"
Jun Wuxian picked up some more dishes for her and said, "Eat, and go back early after eating, otherwise your parents will be worried."
Xu Qingqing glanced at Jun Wuxian in confusion, feeling as if he was lying to her.
It was already afternoon when we returned to the general's mansion. General Xu and others were waiting anxiously in the mansion.
The guard saw a carriage parked at the door. When he saw who got off the carriage, he was confused for a few seconds.
Chu Zhao stepped forward and reminded: "What are you standing there for? Tell the general that Miss Xu is back."
The guard was stunned for a long time after coming back to his senses, then turned around and ran in, "General, General, the young lady is back."
Xu Qingqing followed Jun Wuxian all the way into the general's mansion. As soon as she reached the front hall, she saw her father, mother, and younger brother, and she immediately felt extremely aggrieved.
She threw herself into the general's arms, "Father."
The general looked his daughter up and down, finally dropping the veil on her cheek, and asked in confusion: "Qing'er, what happened? Why did you suddenly disappear? And why is your face covered with a veil?"
The general's wife burst into tears when she saw her daughter crying.
Xu Qingqing saw that her father and mother looked several years older, and she couldn't help crying. "Father, it's a long story. Let's go in and let your daughter tell us everything."
The general grabbed his daughter's wrist and walked inside. "Okay, let's go in and talk first. Let's go in and talk."
Xu Qingqing walked a few steps and thought of Jun Wuxian behind her. She hurriedly stopped and turned to look at Jun Wuxian.
Jun Wuxian waved his folding fan and calmly watched the scene in front of him. Until Xu Qingqing turned around, he smiled slightly and finally remembered that he had his savior.
Xu Qingqing introduced: "Father, let me introduce him to you. He is Jun Wuxian, my daughter's friend and her savior."
General Xu turned around and looked at Jun Wuxian. He smiled softly, "It turns out to be Master Jun. Please come in."
Jun Wuxian nodded and followed him in.
Xu Qingqing told her father and family everything that had happened to her.
General Xu was furious after hearing this. He drew his sword and rushed out. "How dare you, Mei Yisi, hurt my daughter? I will arrest him and bring him to justice."
Xu Qingqing stepped forward to stop General Xu and told him the truth, "Father, father, your daughter has killed Mei Yisi."
She didn't say that Jun Wuxian killed the man. Jun Wuxian had already saved him, and he couldn't be burdened with another murder.
If this matter is exposed, it has nothing to do with Jun Wuxian.
Jun Wuxian paused while drinking tea, raised his head and looked at Xu Qingqing in confusion.
Good night, babies!
