The man froze, lifting his eyes to meet Lou Qingwuâs eyes.
She narrowed her eyes.
Even though Yi had taken care to adjust how much pressure he put into the dagger when he stabbed her, the dagger had still injured her quite seriously.
So right now, her body was still extremely weak. She furrowed her brows as she looked at the man who had suddenly appeared.
The man stood with his back against the window so she couldnât see his face properly but for some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity from him.
âWho are you?â
She coughed, her voice was hoa.r.s.e.
The man stopped and suddenly lowered his head to laugh lowly. His clear voice was like water and her body froze suddenly.
Her lips parted slightly and only spat out, âYou âŚâ
But in the end, she could only angrily stare at him, tightening her hands on his to try to see him clearer because he suddenly hit her pressure points.
Right before she fainted, she only saw the sunlight behind him form a golden aura highlight his silhouette as purple flashed before her eyes.
Her heart became cold as she slowly drifted into unconsciousness.
The man stared at her face as it slowly calmed and dotingly sighed. His long fingers parted open her clothes and helped her re-bandage her wound.
He pasted on some better medicine and furrowed his brows tightly once more before leaving.
When his fingers longingly brushed over her eyebrows, he left behind one more vial of medicine before leaving.
When Lou Qingwu woke up, she stared dazedly at the vial of medicine left behind.
She furrowed her brows and picked up the medicine before being about to throw it to the ground.
But at the last moment, her hand put down the vial as she continued to sit in a daze.
It was only until her door opened that she placed the medicine underneath his pillow.
The door was pushed open as Li Jingsheng walked in. Seeing Lou Qingwu, his face split into a grin and Lou Qingwu raised her brow.
He immediately rubbed his face and lifted up the human skin mask, âMaster, wasnât it alike?â
Lou Qingwu tiredly leaned back against the headboard, slowly nodding, âAlike. Has everything been sorted out?â
âMaster can rest a.s.sured! When this young gentleman does anything, he does it well! Yi has already been protected well by me so Li Jingshengâs people definitely wonât be able to find him. But master, Li Jingshengâs re-investigating the Tang familyâs affairs. We might have provoked him too much, using Yi which might make him suspicious.â
âThen let him be suspicious. The more unsettled he is, the better it will be for us.â
She lightly narrowed her eyes, the cold laughter in her eyes deepened.
Itâs only when the paste from the paper window is lifted that sheâll be able to see who else was implicated in the deaths of the Tang family!
âAh? What is this smell, it smells so good âŚâ
The Thousand Face Lordâs nose twitched as he smelt the scent floating in the air. It seemed like the scent of plum flowers, light, clear and comforting.
âMaster, what is it?â Suddenly his hands grabbed forward, before Lou Qingwu could react, s.n.a.t.c.hing the vial from underneath her pillow.
The jade vial glistened, obviously a high grade jade, he tutted, using high grade jade for a medicine vial was such a waste.
When he opened it, a clear fragrance floated out.
Lou Qingwu finally reacted and her face changed, âThousand face!â
âOh! Here!â Thousand Face Lord suddenly smiled but when he smelt what was in the vial, he suddenly couldnât close his mouth, âF***, master, you actually have the G.o.dly Doctorâs âOstentatious Jadeâ! This is a top grade G.o.dly medicine that even the imperial palace canât get. Master, youâre too cool! No wonder you werenât scared of being stabbed. Apparently the âOstentatious Jadeâ can heal any wound without leaving a scar.â
Ahhhhh, he wanted the G.o.dly Doctorâs medicine too!
But, masterâs injuries were important too âŚ
âHehehe, master ah, letâs make an agreement. When youâve used up all of the medicine, can you give me the vial?â He wanted to h.o.a.rd it because after all, it was the G.o.dly Doctorâs vial.
âNo.â
Lou Qingwu rejected him without much thought but just as she was about to speak, she heard footsteps coming.
The Thousand Face Lord immediately hid his laughter, returned the vial, slipped on the human skin mask and respectfully waited to the side.
