" I'm fine. It's just a small injury", Xun'er said nonchalantly but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was in pain. It's a well known fact that Xiao Xun'er is cold to everyone except Xiao Yan so Xiao Feng didn't mind her attitude. He quickly bent down and saw that her heels were bleeding and the thorn was quite large. He quickly said, "Miss Xun'er, if you delay removing the thorn, it will increase your pain. Let me help you."
Actually Xiao Xun'er has previously tried to remove the thorn by herself but whenever she pulled it, it was very painful. She knew she couldn't do it alone. Without pulling the thorn out, healing medicine is useless. After a moment of thought she nodded with an expressionless face.
" This will hurt a bit. I will remove it on the count of 3", Xiao Feng said.
He placed his hand on the thorn and counted " 1 " and with a sudden pull he removed the thorn. Xun'er was still waiting for him to count to 3 when he pulled it out. She instantly opened her eyes and shouted, "Didn't you say you will pull it on the count of 3. Why did you pull it on 1? Are you crazy?"
Xiao Feng looked at her and said, " Miss Xun'er, I am sorry but you didn't feel any pain this time, did you? "
Xun'er suddenly realised that yes, she didn't feel any pain. "Why didn't I feel any pain?", she murmured.
"If I really counted to 3, you would have experienced the same pain as before. Just because it was unexpected, you didn't think about the pain and got angry. In other words, your anger made you forget the pain" , Xiao Feng explained.
Xun'er couldn't help but be surprised with such an explanation. " Is this why I didn't feel any pain? It's incredible ", she thought inwardly. After a moment, she said, " Thank you for your help but I don't know your name. "
" I am Xiao Feng, an outer disciple. Miss Xun'er you can take the healing medicine now."
"Hmm.."
She took out a healing pill from a jade bottle and swallowed it. Xiao Feng could see why Xun'er is called the No.1 beauty of the Xiao family. Her every move is graceful and elegant. She was wearing a purple-green dress which was tightly wrapped around her graceful body. Her exposed shoulder was flawless and her curves were exquisite. Her face was delicate and the dimples made her look refined. Overall, she was a beauty who could topple kingdoms.
After taking the healing pill, she recovered from the injury very quickly.
" Since Miss Xun'er is alright, I will take my leave ", Xiao Feng said.
" Cousin Xiao Feng, thank you again for your help today. "
" Miss Xun'er doesn't have to be polite. I only did what anyone in my place would do. "
Xiao Feng started walking towards the canteen after bidding goodbye while Xun'er walked towards her courtyard. While walking, she couldn't help but turn around to look at the back of the person who helped her.
