Chapter 22 [VIP] Jianghu (3)

Nan Yan chuckled and looked up at him, but there was no blame in her eyes, "You don't have to be so distant with me. Even if we can't be husband and wife, we can still be siblings for life. I believe that Brother Yu will always treat me as a relative, right?"

Xie Yu glanced at her and nodded again.

"No matter what happens, my love for you will never change."

Nan Yan was obviously happy to get this answer. She smiled at him again. The smile on her face was gentle but with a hint of subtle sadness, but it only flashed by.

She continued, "Then...can I meet her?"

Nan Yan's eyes flashed with envy, and there was silence for a moment. "Don't get me wrong, I just want to know what kind of woman Brother Yu likes. She must be a very special woman to make you care so much about her."

Xie Yu originally didn't want to agree.

But looking at Nan Yan's expression, he found that he couldn't say no at all, and finally he agreed.

"……good."

Nan Yan quickly put away her emotions and put on a gentle smile, "Then after your injury heals, we will quietly leave the villa together. That way, uncle and the others won't be able to force us to get married. When the dust settles, it won't be too late for us to come back and explain everything to them."

Xie Yu thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. With Nan Yan's understanding, this marriage would be easier to arrange, so he finally agreed.

But the guilt in my heart is getting deeper and deeper.

His childhood sweetheart was too considerate. Sometimes, when he saw her forcing herself to smile even though she was obviously very sad, he felt very strange in his heart.

Xie Yu frowned, but in the end said nothing.

He thought it was a good thing, as he would be able to see Su Mo soon. When he thought of his sweetheart, Xie Yu suddenly felt that the whip wounds on his body didn't hurt so much.

…

Nan Yan also didn't expect that this guy would be so anxious?

He had agreed to go see his sweetheart after his injury healed, but the next night this guy went to the stable to steal a horse and sneaked into her room.

It was also his bad luck that he was discovered by Nan Yan as soon as he entered the house. It was dark and she grabbed his wrist and bit it hard. Xie Yu gasped in pain, but he didn't dare to make a sound. He just carried him and left Mingyue Villa.

Later, the two of them rode out of Mingyue Villa together. Half an hour later, they were getting farther and farther away from Mingyue Villa, and Xie Yu finally felt relieved.

In fact, after bringing the person out, Xie Yu felt a little regretful. One has to know that wandering in the underworld is not a joke. It is a place full of good and bad people. Nan Yan is a weak woman who is powerless. She may encounter any danger.

But now that everyone is out, it's too late to regret.

I can only keep an eye on it myself, but I don’t know if Su Mo will care about these things?

"How are you? Is the wound hurting again?"

Nan Yan saw that his brows were getting more and more wrinkled, so she subconsciously took out the handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Xie Yu was unable to react for a moment. The two of them were too intimate. When he came to his senses, she had already taken back her handkerchief. Xie Yu didn't want to care about it anymore, as he might appear too stingy. He shook his head and said uncomfortably, "I'm fine."

Nan Yan responded but didn't continue to pester him.

After all, some things can't be rushed.

She smiled at him and said, "I'm glad you're okay. If it hurts, don't bear it. I brought some medicine and can help you rebandage it."

After saying this, she turned her head again, looking at everything around her with curiosity, her eyes full of anticipation and yearning for her first long journey far away, as if she was a young lady from a wealthy family who was ignorant of the ways of the world.

Xie Yu just nodded casually. At the moment, his mind was full of Su Mo, and he didn't care much about what Yu Nanyan said.

Nan Yan also saw what he was thinking, so she asked, "Then where should we go to find Miss Su next?"

Xie Yu thought for a moment and then said directly, "She should still be in Yaowang Valley."

"Medicine King Valley?"

Xie Yu nodded, "Yes, originally the three of us were going together, but I had something urgent to do, so I left a letter and left without saying goodbye, so Su Mo should still be with Xiao Guanxue."

"Xiao Guanxue?"

Nan Yan seemed to be attracted by the name, so she asked casually, "Is it... the Godly Doctor Gu Xiao, the King of Medicine with a very strange personality that is said in the martial arts world?"

"Yes, it's him." Xie Yu nodded, feeling somewhat helpless about the rumors in the martial arts world.

"He has a somewhat cold personality, but he's not a bad person, and he's a skilled doctor. We've been helped a lot along the way."

In the original plot, Xie Yu and Xiao Guanxue are like-minded friends. Both of them like the heroine, but it is a pity that Xiao Guanxue did not realize his feelings in the early stage. Therefore, after learning that his friend likes Su Mo, he distanced himself from the heroine intentionally or unintentionally. However, feelings are difficult to control. By the time he fully realized his feelings, it was already too late. In the end, he could only hide this feeling in his heart forever.

Nan Yan turned her head and glanced at him, her eyes cold, "Really? Brother Yu, don't you remember?"

"In the past, when Mingyue Villa sent people to ask this miracle doctor to treat me, he ruthlessly refused. How could you become friends with such a person?"

This was indeed true, but it was all due to a misunderstanding. The master had just passed away at that time, and Xiao Guanxue rejected all requests for treatment, including people from Mingyue Villa. After that, Xiao Guanxue was given the title of a miracle doctor who would not save people in danger and had a strange temperament.

Xie Yu looked at Xiao Qingmei's clever and merciless appearance, and suddenly couldn't help but feel itchy, so he tapped her head subconsciously with his palm.

"These are all misunderstandings. You will know when you meet him. Apart from his cold personality, he is a very good person in every way."

He told his friend the reason and explained a few more words on his friend's behalf. He was relieved after he was sure that the other party had no prejudice. After all, one was a good friend and the other was a childhood sweetheart. He didn't want the two of them to quarrel as soon as they met.

Who knew Nan Yan turned her face away and muttered in a low voice, "No matter how good he is, he can't compare to my brother A Yu..."

Xie Yu had amazing hearing, so he naturally heard that sentence clearly, so he raised his eyebrows proudly, "Of course, there are not many people in this world who are better than your brother."

Nan Yan couldn't help laughing. She entangled her hair with her fingers and lightly scratched her cheek, jokingly, "It seems that during the time Brother Yu was traveling in the martial arts world, he didn't acquire any other skills, but he did become much more shameless. I wonder who did he learn this from?"

"Oh, you're scolding me in a crooked way?"

Xie Yu raised his eyelids slightly, raised his finger, and tapped her forehead mercilessly.

Nan Yan shouted and immediately pulled his sleeve to beg for mercy, just like when she was a child, when she annoyed him, she would immediately start to apologize with grievance. No matter how angry someone was, it would be resolved with just a few words of her coaxing.

"Okay, brother Ayu, stop making trouble. I don't know how to ride a horse. If I fall from such a high distance, I will be doomed..."

Xie Yu looked at her begging for mercy, and the little girl looked at him with her watery and beautiful eyes.

Xie Yu's finger, which was about to reach out, suddenly stopped. He was in a trance for a moment, as if a small stone had been thrown deep into his heart, inadvertently causing ripples and making his chest itch.

But it was only a moment, Xie Yu soon realized that something was wrong, and turned his face away, "Okay, stop making trouble, hold on tight, be careful not to fall."

Upon hearing this, Nan Yan immediately sat up straight, holding the reins with her fingers, and the two of them rode a precious horse straight towards the Medicine King Valley.

Yaowang Valley is affiliated with Wushuang City and has considerable influence. However, the valley master has a cold personality and never cares about worldly affairs.

The valley is like spring all year round, with dense medicinal plants. The terrain of the valley is rugged and difficult to enter, and there is only a small path to enter the valley.

Although there are not many disciples in Yaowang Valley, the valley master Xiao Guanxue is an excellent doctor. Because of his eccentric and cold personality, most people who come to the valley to seek medical treatment dare not offend him.

Whenever Xie Yu thought about seeing Su Mo soon, he felt happy, but also a little nervous. After all, he left without saying goodbye, and he didn't know if she would be angry.

Xiao Guanxue in the valley was staring at the letter in his hand in a daze. He should be happy for his friend's safe return, but for some reason, he felt a sense of resistance and rejection deep in his heart.

He didn't want Xie Yu to show up so soon...

Why is this?

Xiao Guanxue couldn't figure out the reason, and there was a hint of annoyance between his brows. He threw the letter away, and just in time he heard a knock on the door.

"Brother Xiao, is your shoulder injury better?"

Su Mo has been in a bad mood recently, and she herself is not quite sure why. Anyway, after Xie Yu left without saying goodbye, she followed Xiao Guanxue to Yaowang Valley and stayed there for more than half a month, which made her relationship with Brother Xiao much closer.

It should have been a happy thing, but she always felt empty in her heart, as if something was missing.

Xiao Guanxue looked at her calmly, suppressed the subtle changes in his heart, and reached out to pour her a cup of tea. "It's nothing, it's just a minor injury. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Su Mo snorted lightly, her tone not changing much, "Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?" Then she added, "I'm here to bring you medicine."

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Xiao Guanxue shook her head and chuckled, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Su Mo glanced at him and denied it, "No, I'm in a very good mood, I'm just a little worried about your injury."

After saying this, he thought of something else. He still felt a little unwilling in his heart, and couldn't help but mutter, "Who can we blame? It's all the fault of that guy named Xie. He clearly agreed to catch thieves together and rid the martial arts world of evil, but he left without saying goodbye. Did he really think we could do without him?"

Xiao Guanxue looked at her depressed expression, shook his head and chuckled, "Are you so concerned about him?"

Su Mo's expression froze for a moment, and she deliberately showed a look of disgust, and put the medicine on the table with a stern face, "Who would miss him? Brother Xiao, don't get me wrong, he and I are not what you think..."

"It was clearly that guy who broke his promise and didn't keep his word first. I just felt a little unhappy because he didn't treat us as friends, but I wasn't thinking about him in my heart!"

After she finished speaking, she snorted coldly and turned her head away, with an awkward and slightly depressed expression, which made her seem like she was saying one thing and thinking another.

It would be a lie to say that I don't miss you at all. After all, we have been together for such a long time and the feelings are always there.

But that man didn't care about them at all. He just left without even saying goodbye. When he came back, she would definitely teach him a lesson.

Xiao Guanxue felt a little sad, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the cheek that was slightly red due to anger. Naturally, he also heard the resentment in her tone.

I don’t know why?

Sometimes he even envied Su Mo's attitude towards Xie Yu, which was natural and intimate, with no gap between them. But when she faced him, it was different, always showing a little bit of subtle unfamiliarity and restraint, not so relaxed and familiar.

"Okay, don't be angry. He has his reasons. I have received the news..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sudden sound.

"Who are you calling unfaithful and disloyal?"

Xie Yu was wearing a black robe, his black hair fluttering in the wind. Because he came in a hurry, there were some fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

He raised his eyebrows and stood at the threshold, his expression filled with the youthful vigor and vitality.

As soon as he saw Su Mo, the longing and emotions in his heart suddenly surged out like waves. His originally tense emotions gradually eased and he couldn't help but tease her.

"Didn't I leave a letter for you? Why are you still saying bad things about me behind my back? This is not in line with your usual style, Miss Su."

Both of them were startled when they heard this.

Xiao Guanxue frowned slightly, looked up, and inadvertently met a pair of gentle and clear eyes. The person did not expect him to look at him, so he responded with a faint smile.

Xiao Guanxue paused for a few seconds, then looked away with a calm look.

His gaze turned to Xie Yu who was standing beside him.

It was only then that Su Mo realized who had spoken. She turned around and looked at the man standing at the door. He was obviously in disbelief. "Thank you?"

Xie Yu chuckled, "Who else could it be if not me?"

Su Mo knew that she must look very stupid at the moment. When she came to her senses, she was angry at first. "Thank you so much, you have the nerve to come back. Who cares about you coming? It's fine that you left without saying goodbye, but why do you suddenly show up like this?"

Because she was too angry, she didn't notice that there was a woman standing next to Xie Yu. She rushed over and punched Xie Yu in the chest.

She didn't hit him hard, it didn't sound like a scolding, but more like a flirting between lovers, "Who do you think you are? Do you think others care about you? Why can't you say it to my face? Why do you have to sneak away? What do you think of us?"

The two of them were used to making noises, and there was no precaution between men and women. Xiao Guanxue was not surprised, and Xie Yu dodged to the side and was hit by her fists a few times.

Not only was he not annoyed, but he felt very much enjoyed it, with a smile on his face. Seeing this, Su Mo became even angrier, and the force with which she hit him became even stronger.

"You're still hiding, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

Seeing that the woman was not giving in, Nan Yan immediately showed a worried look on her face. She frowned slightly and wanted to step forward to separate the two people, "Stop fighting, he's still injured..."

Before she could finish her words, she was pushed hard by the other party. Due to inertia, Nan Yan fell to the ground and let out a slight hiss, as if she was injured.

The sound was not loud, but it was just enough to stop the two people who were making a fuss.

"Okay, stop making trouble."

The person who spoke was Xiao Guanxue.

However, he was not upset because of Nan Yan who was lying on the ground, but because he found the quarrel between Su Mo and Xie Yu very unsightly.

Su Mo glanced at him and asked, "Who messed with him?"

It was only then that Xie Yu realized that the two of them had pushed each other too hard and accidentally pushed Nan Yan.

He immediately brushed Su Mo's wrist away, turned around and helped her up, "Yan Yan, are you okay?" There was some concern in his tone.

Yanyan?

Hearing the name, Su Mo turned her eyes to the woman beside him.

She suddenly remembered that when she and Xie Yu first met, this guy always mentioned her as a childhood sweetheart, saying that she was not as gentle as him, not as beautiful and elegant as him, and not as good-looking as him. Now that she thought about it, the girl's name seemed to be... Gu Nanyan?

Is this the woman in front of you?

Su Mo only took one glance and instantly felt uncomfortable in her heart. She had never seen Xie Yu be so considerate and caring towards a woman before, so her words were tinged with resentment.

"Why are you so nervous? Besides, you were the one who avoided me first. Can you blame me for this?"

She pushed the person away sullenly and turned to leave, but was caught by the other party unexpectedly.

"When did I blame you?"

Su Mo was extremely upset. She was already angry because Xie Yu left without saying goodbye, and she was also upset because of his attitude towards her. She felt that her previous worries about him were unnecessary.

Little did she know that the other person was immersed in the gentle countryside and didn't want to leave. What did it have to do with her?
