There of course wasn’t any thin line, but it is true that she had co across soone with a suspicious deanor. Even if that person was eventually captured, this unimportant detail was unlikely to be verified.
Xiao Ruiyuan gripped the tal piece tightly and said solemnly, "I’ll take this piece of tal with for now. As for the specifics, we can discuss them after everything is settled."
Mo Yan was well aware that the issues tied to this tal piece were not within her purview. She nodded and said, "I understand. Be careful yourself."
Xiao Ruiyuan nodded slightly and, after giving Mo Yan a few words of caution, picked up the tal piece and prepared to leave. Then he suddenly turned back, staring intently at Mo Yan’s lips, a hint of surprise in his eyes, "The wound, it’s healing quickly?"
Mo Yan was stunned for a mont before realizing what he was referring to. Her face involuntarily changed color as she didn’t know how to explain that the wound was nearly healed in less than four hours.
She had been too careless. She shouldn’t have been worried about her father noticing anything, nor should she have stayed in the Space for too long, let alone washed with Spirit Spring Water. Now what was she to do? How could she explain without arousing his suspicion? Should she say her body was special and her wounds healed quickly?
Xiao Ruiyuan gently caressed Mo Yan’s lips and could clearly see that the place that had been injured now only had a light pink mark remaining. In less than two days, this small mark would completely disappear.
"Do you have so dicine that makes wounds heal quickly?" Xiao Ruiyuan asked with raised eyebrows, as he couldn’t think of any other explanation.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan’s tense deanor unexpectedly relaxed. With her eyes wide, she told a serious lie, "Indeed, I did apply so ointnt twice after returning. As for whether it’s the ointnt’s doing, I’m not sure! Oh, right, I also ate a small piece of dry Lingzhi— the Black Lingzhi I didn’t finish before."
Black Lingzhi? Xiao Ruiyuan’s mouth twitched slightly. He really wanted to say it was a waste, but compared to a painful wound, Black Lingzhi probably didn’t matter much.
However, the Black Lingzhi was too precious; it could save a life in a crucial mont. Xiao Ruiyuan still couldn’t help but suggest, "Grinding Black Lingzhi into powder and adding it to the wound dicine might make it even more effective."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan’s eyes lit up, "I could try that."
Watching his beloved’s eyes sparkle, Xiao Ruiyuan couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He then leaned down and kissed those shining eyes, as bright as black gems.
Mo Yan instinctively closed her eyes, feeling the tenderness on her eyelids, and wrapped her arms around the man.
"Ahem—"
Amid their intimate mont, an untily cough exploded like thunder by their ears, startling the couple into quickly parting and looking towards the source of the sound. There stood Mo Qingze at the door, with a stern face glaring at them.
Seeing his startled daughter, Mo Qingze felt a pang of heartache, and his deliberately stern face almost crumbled. He directed all his resentnt towards the guilt-feigning young man and wished he could chase him out imdiately.
Humph, to dare seduce his daughter right in front of him, what a scoundrel!
If Xiao Ruiyuan could have heard his future father-in-law’s thoughts at that mont, he certainly would have felt wronged! Whether that sense of grievance was justified or not, only he himself knew.
People who practice martial arts, especially when sleeping, always retain a bit of vigilance; it’s impossible not to notice soone approaching.
Facing the nacing glare from his future father-in-law, Xiao Ruiyuan felt that his day of becoming a groom had just taken a significant step closer.
That very night, Xiao Ruiyuan was rcilessly "invited" out of the Scholar Mansion by his future father-in-law. Mo Yan bore the brunt of her father’s "patient guidance" until the moon hung low in the sky before she was finally allowed to return to her room.
Mo Yan returned to her room feeling annoyed. She used her martial strength to suppress Xue tuanzi, who didn’t remind her of the ti and even taunted her. Despite Xuetuan’s dissatisfied muttering, she shut out her consciousness, pulled the blanket over herself, and went to sleep.
