âLin Xuanzhi, what are you doing?â Duan Yuyang couldnât help but ask.
Lin Xuanzhi single-heartedly devoted himself to applying his medicinal powder onto Yan Tianhenâs wound. It was only after the wound immediately closed up and de-swelled under the elixir before he turned towards the self-aware Duan Yuyang who was standing at a side.
âThank you Duan young master for sending Jiadi1 back home even though itâs already this late.â Lin Xuanzhi said.
A question mark appeared above Duan Yuyangâs head. He furrowed his brows, baffled, and looked Lin Xuanzhi up and down before he said, âWhat the h.e.l.l are you trying to do?â
âWhat do you think Iâm trying to do?â Lin Xuanzhi asked him back.
Duan Yuyan choked, then didnât hold back as he said, âYouâre waiting for honourable me to leave before you bully Tianhen? Honourable me is telling you now, Iâve already seen through your crafty schemes, so today Iâm staying here no matter what and wonât leave!â
Yan Tianhen was afraid that Lin Xuanzhi would get angry, so he hurriedly said, âYuyang Ge, thank you for sending me back today, but you should go back home soon or else your Dad will worry.â
âYou rascalâŚ..â Duan Yuyang was so angered by Yan Tianhen he almost laughed. He kindly offered to help Yan Tianhen overcome this crisis, but to think, this rascal was actually helping Lin Xuanzhi chase him away.
Duan Yuyang had the temperament of a young master, he wouldnât stick his face to other peopleâs cold a.s.ses2, so he immediately sneered and said, âFine, Iâll leave. When you get beaten up or sold or bullied donât count on honourable me to come save you.â
When he finished, Duan Yuyang turned around and walked out of the yard.
âDuan young master.â Lin Xuanzhiâs clear voice rang out.
âWhat? You wanna fight?â Duan Yuyang stopped in his tracks, then turned his head and rolled his eyes at Lin Xuanzhi. He held his head up high and said, âHonourable me had never been interested in bullying the weak. Itâs beneath my dignity to lift a finger against a Refining Qi stage second layer good-for-nothing like you. But if you insist on fighting like you do in that martial hall, then honourable me wonât mind helping you loosen your joints.â
Yan Tianhen was slightly angered, his face darkened and was about to say a few words for Lin Xuanzhi when he heard Lin Xuanzhi say with grat.i.tude, âHuarong3 canât thank Duan young master enough for the many times you offered Jiadi a helping hand. If you were to need any help in the future, I would undoubtedly go through water and tread on fire for you without complaint.â
After he spoke, Lin Xuanzhi even took a bow.
Duan Yuyang was so frightened his soul almost scattered. He took a step back and said with a face full of shock, âYou you youâhave you gone crazy?â
He had just casually lifted a hand to help Yan Tianhen, that kind of effort was nothing to him. And yet it actually incited such a huge bow from Lin Xuanzhi, as well as words that sounded like a promise!
You must know, this person is Lin Xuanzhi!
Even though Duan Yuyang and Lin Xuanzhi didnât interact much previously, but anyone in Qing city must have heard of all kinds of flattering words about Lin Xuanzhi.
What about his lofty and unyielding character, how heâs a gentleman with a jade-like disposition4, how heâs the best person in the worldâŚâŚ
In short, Lin Xuanzhi definitely isnât the kind of person who would easily bow to give thanks and be so serious about this kind of matters.
Duan Yuyang was scared silly.
Yan Tianhen was also scared silly. He was at a loss for what to do as he stood behind Lin Xuanzhi, his chin had almost dropped to the floor.
His Dage, hadnât he always looked down on Duan Yuyang?
Previously, when Duan Yuyang had sent him home, they had also met by accident then. At that time, Lin Xuanzhi had coldly sneered at him, âYou mix around with this kind of garbage?â
But it had only been a few days, and now Lin Xuanzhi is actually treating Duan Yuyang with due respect, this was just too weird!
Yet Lin Xuanzhi didnât care how much shock he had brought to these two people. After his bow, he stood up straight and once again turned into the unyielding and st.u.r.dy cypress he usually was.
Lin Xuanzhi said, âItâs already this late, so we wonât ask you to stay for tea.â
âWho wants to drink your tea, whatâs wrong with you, you scared honourable me to death!â Duan Yuyang was seriously afraid that Lin Xuanzhi had been possessed. His eyes were full of doubt as he looked at Lin Xuanzhi warily, then he threw Yan Tianhen a look that said âgood luck, youâre on your ownâ before he sneakily slipped away.
