"Sir, you're clearly trying to make trouble here, it was her who was in the wrong"
"I wonder who is the one who's actually making trouble"
"Then what do you want from us"
"Kneel down and apologize!" The man released his aura, suppressing the disciples there.
"YOU!" One of the disciples turned red from anger and had a finger pointing at him.
"Put down that finger or else I'll cut it off" Seeing that there was no other way out they could only bear with it and lower themselves. (A/N: In some parts of China it is considered rude to point your finger at someone)
'B*tch, just you wait'
"WE APOLOGIZE" They slipped this out through their gritted teeth as they knelt on the ground, no matter how humiliating it was, they wanted to keep their lives and had no other choice, they could sense that the man wasn't merely all talk he really would carry out such ruthless actions.
"You can leave!" He waved them off and the Sophist Sage Sect disciples could only leave, humiliated.
"Thank you but I could've dealt with them by myself and who's your people!" Despite what she was saying Xue Lian was fuzzy on the inside and touched by his actions, he had acted so overbearing for her sake.
"Deal with them and get found out? There are some 'foreigners' here right now, I'm not the only one. I had promised your father to take care of you" The man lifted an eyebrow at her, at this moment he looked like a actual guy and less feminine.
Xue Lian had nothing to say to his first comment but she had a feeling that the second comment sounded a bit...weird? Or at least it should have.
She turned around in a huff but her ankle gave out, usually that kind of fall wouldn't have hurt her at all, however she had been spacing out and didn't pay attention, everyone makes mistakes.
Even the so called 'perfect' Zi Hua would too, though she had long shed that title.
Just when she thought that she would hit the ground she was caught by a pair of slender yet surprisingly strong arms into a princess carry.
"Put me down, I can walk by myself, it won't take long before it heals" Her healing abilities were superior than others and it will only take a day for it to heal and be as good as new.
Following her request, he let her down carefully and let her walk by herself then retreated to the side with folded arms.
Although it was difficult she wasn't about to take back her words, so she slowly struggled and wobbled like a new born fawn.
The man watched from the side in amusement, his lips tugged up into a small cheeky smile.
Seeing the girl's helpless situation, he wasn't as heartless to not help since it was her after all and he knew the girl wouldn't hurt her pride to take the initiative to go back on her own word for something of this caliber, so he took the initiative to scoop her up back into a princess carry.
This time she could only bury her head in silence to hide her embarrassment, she wasn't able to walk so she could only let him carry her.
The mighty young clan head had to rely on a human...
They made a beautiful picture together, their skin were both equally fair and smooth as white jade, the man looked feminine but his aloof aura suggested otherwise, but others could clearly sense the care he had for the girl, the girl was a fierce yet innocent looking girl who had buried her face from shyness.
Epitome of a beautiful couple.
He took her to his office where he was at when they first arrived and set her down to get some bandages, there was no point in eating pills since she would heal soon and she hates the taste and texture of pills despite being a gourmet so he didn't force her.
The taste wasn't that bad, it was just due to the mix of medicinal herbs that the smells had merged together to created a pungent taste; others would even find it aromatic since it proves the authenticity of the pill.
Of course, the pills that Zi Hua had made as sweets were carefully blended together so they were savory.
