Thinking of the Ling Family’s adversaries, he couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on. His responsibilities were truly mounting—having to deal not only with the Shanlan Sect but also with enemies coveting him in the shadows. He realized that even though he had left the Dark Sword Troop, his life was still not relaxed at all, but busier instead.
As he was musing, Ling Xuejiu suddenly asked, "Are you close with our horoom teacher?"
"Horoom teacher? Pang Shanshan?" Leng Xuan was taken aback before asking, "What about it?"
"Nothing much," Ling Xuejiu said indifferently. "That day we went to ask for leave on your behalf, and when she asked the reason, I told her that you were injured and receiving treatnt at the hospital. She seed very anxious and pressed on whether it was serious. Later, she told to extend her greetings to you and hoped that you would recover soon."
Leng Xuan imdiately understood. Since he had crossed the line of friendship with Pang Shanshan, they started to beco estranged due to certain reservations and seldom contacted each other anymore. He felt quite guilty about this. After all, he had taken sothing very precious from her, and their relationship’s developnt to this point was not sothing he desired to see. However, people have their own expectations, and Pang Shanshan hoped to have a happy family, sothing he could not give her. Besides, there were quite a few other people with whom he had ambiguous relationships. Given Pang Shanshan’s character, she certainly wouldn’t be able to accept it.
Thinking of this, Leng Xuan couldn’t help but sigh. Affairs of the heart should just follow their natural course; forcing them usually wouldn’t end well. So, he said, "What relationship can I have with her beyond that of a teacher and a student? It’s only right for a teacher to care for a student, what’s so strange about that?"
Ling Xuejiu nodded and did not inquire further.
At that mont, Leng Xuan said, "I plan to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. My body is mostly fine now—staying here is just a waste of ti."
Li ngjie clapped her hands imdiately and said, "Great! We will drive to pick you up tomorrow, and then we can go on a massive shopping spree. It’s been many days since I last went to the mall."
"Stop it," Ling Xuejiu said irritably. "He’s just recovered from his injuries. Let him rest so more instead of dragging him around."
"Whoa!" Li ngjie said in surprise, as if she had just witnessed sothing unbelievable. "Xue Jiu, you’re actually caring about Cold Bodyguard. Does this an... you know what?" Perhaps fearing Ling Xuejiu’s Finger-Flicking Technique, Li ngjie didn’t dare to utter the words ’main wife,’ but her facial expression made it clear what she had been about to say.
Ling Xuejiu blushed and felt that she had perhaps cared too much. Hearing Li ngjie teasing her, she glared fiercely at her and said, "He is assigned by Grandpa to protect , and his health directly affects my safety, so what’s wrong with showing a little concern?"
Li ngjie pouted and said disappointedly, "You sure know how to make excuses."
Ling Xuejiu checked the ti and said, "We should get going, you need to rest well."
Li ngjie was reluctant and said, "It’s still so early. Why go back now? It’s not often we get out like this, why don’t we leave a bit later?"
"No," Ling Xuejiu shook her head and said, "My parents are coming over later, so we must head back... Well, you don’t need to. You can stay here as long as you like, since you don’t have any restrictions at my house."
