Be open and honest
As Lu Zhuo admitted defeat, the soldiers watching the fight exclaimed in surprise. This battle for the championship was undoubtedly the most exciting battle in this arena!
Yunti walked towards Lu Zhuo and extended his hand.
Lu Zhuo looked at Yunti and smiled. He held Yunti's hand and stood up.
"As long as you use spiritual power, I will not be your opponent. I should be the loser." Yunti said.
Lu Zhuo shook his head and said, "No, you win!"
Yan Sheng ran over and punched the two men in the chest. "Good job, you two! You're all hiding your true feelings. I'm the only one who's acting, right?"
His punch made the two men hunch over. Yunti said, "Be gentle, we are both injured."
"Hey, look at me, I'm sorry, come on, I'll take you to apply medicine." Yan Sheng smiled.
…
Inside the house, Yan Sheng rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Take it off!"
Yunti was a little overwhelmed: "What are you taking off?"
Yan Sheng shouted, "Take off your clothes! How can I apply the medicine if you don't take off your clothes?"
Yunti was speechless and hesitated for a long time without taking any action, but Lu Zhuo took off his coat quickly.
Yan Sheng looked at Yunti and said, "Oh, you are a grown man, but you are so timid, just like a woman."
Yunti was sitting on pins and needles, and seeing that Lu Zhuo was about to take off his underwear, she suddenly stood up and said, "I'm not seriously injured! No need to apply medicine!" After that, she immediately ran out of the room.
Yan Sheng's face was full of confusion. He said to Lu Zhuo, "Look at him, he's like a girl. He was beaten like that, and he's not seriously injured?"
Lu Zhuo was also confused. He should be covered in wounds.
Yunti found a woodshed and closed the door after making sure that no one was around. Fortunately, she brought some medicine for external injuries. She took off her clothes, untied her bra, and applied the medicine bit by bit.
What Lu Zhuo said was right. She was indeed covered in wounds. It seemed that she had only retreated three steps in the Falling Star Spring, but in fact, the rain blades had already hurt her. Her skin was pierced in many places, and later on, the fire lotus penetrated her whole body.
"Hiss~"
Every time Yunti touched the wound, he felt a chill of pain.
A quarter of an hour later, Yunti finished applying the medicine and put on her clothes. Just as she tied her bra, she heard footsteps approaching outside. Yunti was startled and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me. How is Brother Yun? Yan Sheng and I came here because we were worried." Lu Zhuo said while standing outside the door.
The door of the woodshed was not locked, so Yunti could only close it tightly. Fortunately, it was not Yan Sheng who came at this moment, otherwise he would have pushed it open. Yunti replied, "Brother Lu, wait a moment, I will be out soon."
Yunti immediately put on her clothes. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lu Zhuo's face. Her heart seemed to skip a beat for a moment. This man was so handsome and charming at all times that it was impossible to take your eyes off him.
Yan Sheng ran over and interrupted Yunti's thoughts, "Why are you in a daze? I said you are injured like this, and you still say you are fine."
Yunti came back to his senses and stammered, "Oh, now... now it's okay. I've applied the medicine."
Yan Sheng laughed and said, "We are all men, shirtless together, why are you still shy?"
Yunti said somewhat unnaturally: "I'm not used to it."
Yan Sheng pointed at Yun Yi and said in a mocking tone, "You must be a spoiled brat."
Yunti suddenly changed the subject and said to Lu Zhuo, "Brother Lu, can we find a place to talk? I have a lot of questions."
Lu Zhuo stopped Yan Sheng from making such a fuss and responded, "That's perfect. I have a lot to ask as well."
The three of them returned to their residence. Yunti and Lu Zhuo sat upright. Yan Sheng couldn't stand it anymore and said, "What are you two doing? Why are you being so serious?"
Yunti ignored him and asked Lu Zhuo directly, "You are extremely familiar with the military camp and the martial arts of the Imperial College. You are definitely not an ordinary citizen. Who are you?"
Lu Zhuo asked back, "You are also familiar with these things, so who are you?"
Yunti remained silent.
Seeing this, Yan Sheng asked, "What are you talking about? What military camp, what Imperial College? Aren't we in the military camp now?"
Lu Zhuo ignored him and stared at Yun Yi instead.
After a while, Yunti spoke: "You speak first."
"Okay." Lu Zhuo said generously, "Then I won't hide it."
Lu Zhuo began to tell the story, "Sixteen years ago, the Ningchang Kingdom and the Qingli Kingdom were at war. My father was a general as famous as General Yun. With these two men in Ningchang at the time, Qingli Kingdom was no match for them. So, Qingli Kingdom framed my Lu family for treason and alienated my father from the emperor. Ministers in the court who didn't agree with my father also took the opportunity to add insult to injury. As a result, my father was imprisoned, and my family was implicated."
Yunti was a little unconvinced. In her impression, His Majesty had always been a wise and benevolent emperor. "How could His Majesty be so confused? Is there no one who speaks up for your father?"
Lu Zhuo said silently, "Yes, General Yun has been asking His Majesty to investigate. He said that my father would not be a traitor, but the emperor ignored him and still imprisoned my family. General Yun wanted to defeat Qingli as soon as possible to seek mercy for my family. Unexpectedly, when he returned triumphantly, my father had been poisoned and framed to commit suicide out of fear of punishment. General Yun had no choice but to save my little sister and me and let us go far away to settle down.
"How could this happen?" Yunti murmured.
Yan Sheng also stopped laughing: "I didn't expect your life story to be so miserable."
Lu Zhuo felt relieved and continued, "Then I heard that there was going to be another war and General Yun was still in command, so I wanted to join the army to see if I could help him."
Yunti was silent for a while. How could he say that so easily? His Majesty the Emperor had been very good to her since she was a child. He often took her to the palace and let her enter the Imperial College. He would also reward the Yun family with any good things. Now it was terrifying to think about it. If such a thing happened to her father... Yunti was shocked.
Seeing Yunti was silent, Lu Zhuo asked her, "What about you?"
Yunti was a bit stunned. "Ah? Um... My father was also a general. I trained with him in the military camp since I was a child, and studied at the Imperial College like you. He didn't allow me to join this campaign, so I quietly joined the army, hoping to contribute a little."
Yan Sheng was puzzled: "Since your father is also a general, they say that fathers and sons fight together in battle, so why wouldn't you let your son join the battle?"
Yunti didn't answer, and she couldn't answer either...
Lu Zhuo smiled knowingly, "I heard that among the generals going on this expedition, only General Li has a young son. Could it be that you are the young master Li—Li Ziran?"
Yunti nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. She had finally found a suitable vest for herself. She said to herself, "Li Ziran, let me borrow your name for a while."
Now that the conversation was over, the barriers between the three of them seemed to have narrowed. Yan Sheng stretched out his arms and embraced the two of them: "You two are from prominent families. I'm just an idle person. I joined the army just because I felt like it when I saw the suffering of the people. If I go to the capital in the future, I'll have to rely on your connections to take care of me, especially you! Brother Ziran!" Yan Sheng patted Yunti on the shoulder.
Yunti said awkwardly, "Of course, of course."
"Hahaha." Yan Sheng's hearty laughter spread throughout the house and yard.
