"She's fine."
Rong Yu lowered his head again, suddenly increasing the pressure in his hand. Geng Qi gasped in pain and instinctively pulled his hand away.
"……Feel sorry."
Geng Qi: "...It's nothing."
He then reached out and had someone wrap his hand with a piece of cloth.
Seeing Rong Yu's slightly furrowed brows, he knew that Su Mo'er was alright. The resolute and courageous heroine, destined to experience great trials and tribulations, would definitely be fine.
But bro, your attitude isn't quite right!
Geng Qi looked conflicted. "You...this...will cause misunderstandings."
Rong Yu asked, "What's the misunderstanding?"
They misunderstand and think you've fallen for someone else!
That doesn't seem right either, if he hasn't fallen in love with the female lead yet, then there's no possibility of him falling for someone else!
That would be even more terrifying!
He has to worry all the time that this person will fall for someone else.
Realizing what he was thinking, Geng Qi was startled and quickly spat out a curse.
Rong Yu wrapped the cloth around his neck and looked up, his warm breath landing right on his face.
"..."
"Ah, I didn't mean to spit on you...no...it was that..."
He hurriedly explained, and Rong Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing. He quickly clenched his fist to his lips and coughed lightly.
Geng Qi: "..."
"alright."
He bandaged his wound, stood up, and put the medicine bottles into his storage bracelet.
Geng Qi remained expressionless throughout, pursing his lips. Perhaps this person didn't mean it at all; it was just applying medicine, after all. He seemed to be overthinking it.
Still unable to suppress his curiosity, he remained silent for a moment before asking, "Do you know about Kaopan Mountain?"
Rong Yu paused, "Why are you asking about this?"
Geng Qi was taken aback, then waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I was just asking."
He smiled and looked down at the wound on his shoulder.
I couldn't bring myself to ask.
Although the battle at Kaopan Mountain a hundred years ago had nothing to do with him and was not the original owner's intention, the birth of this body did bring disaster to the major sects. Many seniors of Tianzhi Sect must have perished at Kaopan Mountain. Rong Yu grew up in Tianzhi Sect. Even ordinary disciples like Yuan Xin hated the Demon Realm to the bone. As a direct disciple, what good impression would Rong Yu have of the Demon Realm?
When he realized his identity was being questioned, he thought, "So what if I'm exposed? At worst, we'll just part ways and I'll go back to the Demon Palace and live a carefree life. If I behave myself, the male lead won't come looking for me to die together without asking any questions!"
But now, he felt a little timid.
He could somewhat see that Rong Yu treated him differently, but if he knew Rong Yu's true identity, would he immediately turn against him?
The thought made her feel irritable, and her fingers unconsciously picked at a corner of the wrapped silk cloth, eventually tearing the cloth open again.
"Stop it." Rong Yu reached out to stop him.
Geng Qi said, "The knot you tied is really ugly."
"..."
Rong Yu pursed his lips: "I've never done this before."
Geng Qi: "..."
Feeling a mix of emotions, he rewound the torn cloth with one hand and looked up to ask, "Aren't you leaving?"
Rong Yu didn't answer. Although he didn't say anything, his emotional change was obvious. He was worried about leaving, but since he had been asked so clearly, it seemed inappropriate for him to stay any longer.
Seeing his hesitation, Geng Qi suddenly laughed and said, "How can I change my clothes if you don't leave?"
Rong Yu froze: "Change clothes?"
"Yeah, you tore my clothes. I can't sleep dressed like this, can I? What if someone comes in and sees me like this?"
Although Qinghan was guarding outside, no one could get in.
Rong Yu had no idea about this.
At first, it was just for applying the "medicine," and I had absolutely no intention of having any romantic feelings for Yu Ni. But after he said that, my gaze fell on his round, fair shoulders. I hadn't been careful to control my strength at the time, and his clothes inevitably came undone. In the midst of the commotion, the ribbon that tied his hair was nowhere to be found, and his long hair was loose, with a strand draped over his shoulder. When he looked up, his eyes, filled with drowsiness, were misty and shimmering with water, making him breathtakingly beautiful.
His face flushed slightly, and he quickly looked away.
"Excuse me, I'll go out now."
"Wait!" Geng Qi saw his face flushed red and, as he turned to leave, quickly grabbed his hand: "Do you treat others like this too?"
Rong Yu asked, puzzled, "What?"
Geng Qi poked his face with his finger: "Blush."
Just like tomatoes.
Rong Yu's face darkened further, but his expression remained as calm as ever: "No."
With just two simple words, Geng Qi felt relieved. After admiring the man's blushing embarrassment for a while, he took pity on him and let him go.
Outside the room, Rong Yu leaned against the door, listening to the rustling sounds inside. After lying down, he soon began to breathe evenly. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging, and blood seeped from the scabbard, swirling around his wrist. It took a long time for the blood to subside.
He glanced into the room through the wooden window, then turned and went out.
Outside the waterside pavilion, in a gazebo surrounded by clear springs and waterfalls, a young man sat alone. When he sensed someone coming out, he turned his head and grabbed something on the table. He didn't know what he was hiding behind his back, but he stared at him stiffly, his eyes filled with wariness.
Helpless, Rong Yu nodded to him from outside the waterside pavilion, then walked straight around the winding corridor and out of Chengyun Pavilion.
