Oh, heavens, save me; this girl wants to kill me again. Lin Wanrong sighed in his heart.
"Please, Miss Xiao, you are a skilled martial artist, and I am a weak scholar who couldn't even crush an ant. If there were any improprieties, it would only be you forcing them upon me. If I dared to raise my hand against you, it would be like tempting fate, a life not worth living." Lin Wanrong said with a lack of enthusiasm.
Xiao Qingxuan's face turned red. Considering his words, she reluctantly sheathed her sword, giving him a stern look, but refrained from mentioning anything about killing.
"I want you to see this. This is the wound you inflicted on me last time. Look, any scars?" Lin Wanrong sighed.
So that's it! Xiao Qingxuan recalled that she did stab him last time, and it was even poisoned. However, looking at his shoulder now, there was no visible trace of injury. Feeling relieved, she apologized softly, "I'm truly sorry about last time. I tried to find you later, but with dozens of skilled underwater experts, we couldn't locate you."
Lin Wanrong nodded without saying a word. He tore apart her half-cut sleeve, revealing the wound where the bleeding was slowly stopping. He used his homemade alcohol-soaked cotton to gently clean the wound.
Xiao Qingxuan's body trembled slightly, feeling a bit shy as a stranger touched her skin. Despite the cotton acting as a barrier, the sensation was still there.
"Your skin is really good. I wonder if you soak in hot springs every day." Looking at the crystal-clear skin on Xiao Qingxuan's arm, Lin Wanrong couldn't help but swallow hard.
After cleaning the wound and applying a good-quality healing ointment, Lin Wanrong sighed, "There, I guarantee on my honor, no scars will be left, returning your skin to its pristine state."
Blushing, Xiao Qingxuan glanced at Lin Wanrong and said softly, "Thank you."
Waving generously, Lin Wanrong said, "No need to be polite. However, in the future, you should be more careful. As a young girl, don't always think about getting into fights. If your beautiful face gets a little scratched, I would be heartbroken."
Seemingly accustomed to his nonsense, Xiao Qingxuan just gave him a stern look and remained silent.
After the battle and sustaining injuries, Xiao Qingxuan was exhausted. With the night quiet and being alone with Lin Wanrong, he suggested, "I'll go to the adjacent room. You rest here for a while."
Xiao Qingxuan's expression tightened, "What are you doing? I'll leave immediately."
"Whatever you say. Anyway, with your high-flying heroic demeanor, I doubt I could control you," Lin Wanrong yawned and walked towards the neighboring room.
"But you're not allowed to come in; otherwise, I—" Xiao Qingxuan seemed to soften a bit.
"Kill me, right? Sigh, I've become accustomed to your threats," Lin Wanrong said helplessly. "Put your sword by the pillow. If any living creature passes by you, be it a mosquito, a bedbug, draw your sword, and eliminate it. You're a heroic lady; handle these small matters effortlessly."
Amused by his words, Xiao Qingxuan wanted to laugh but restrained herself to save face.
"Oh, by the way, there's really no connection between me and that Qin Xian'er. I'm just a humble servant. What does she have to do with me? You can rest assured." Lin Wanrong, standing at the door, suddenly added as if on a whim.
"Why should I care!" Xiao Qingxuan snorted, her face blushing.
Having fought with Qin Xian'er, Xiao Qingxuan, who had some injuries, was already exhausted. Lin Wanrong, showing some consideration, said, "I'll go to the next room. Just rest here."
Xiao Qingxuan's expression tightened, "What are you doing? I'll leave immediately."
"Whatever you say. Anyway, with your high-flying heroic demeanor, I doubt I could control you," Lin Wanrong yawned and walked towards the neighboring room.
"Then you're not allowed to come in; otherwise, I—" Xiao Qingxuan seemed to soften a bit.
"Kill me, right? Sigh, I've become accustomed to your threats," Lin Wanrong said helplessly. "Put your sword by the pillow. If any living creature passes by you, be it a mosquito, a bedbug, draw your sword, and eliminate it. You're a heroic lady; handle these small matters effortlessly."

"Why should I care!" Xiao Qingxuan snorted, her face blushing.
This Xiao Qingxuan fought a battle tonight, with injuries on her body, already exhausted. In the deep night, and being a man and a woman alone, Lin Wanrong, being considerate, said, "I'll go to the next room. Just rest here."
Xiao Qingxuan's expression tightened, "What are you doing? I'll leave immediately."
"Whatever you say. Anyway, with your high-flying heroic demeanor, I doubt I could control you," Lin Wanrong yawned and walked towards the neighboring room.
