When they returned to the camp
A tall and handsome man approached Shen Yan.
It was Lu Chen, his closest friend.
"Shen Yan, what happened?"
"I'll tell you later."
Shen Yan glanced sideways at Yue Ling before saying
"You.
Follow me."
Yue Ling blinked in confusion but followed him anyway.
The two of them entered Shen Yan's room.
He gestured toward the bed.
"Sit."
"Why?"
Without answering
Shen Yan took out some medicine and began treating the wound on her arm.
"I'm fine, I can treat it myself. It's just a small scratch."
Yue Ling said with a smile.
But Shen Yan didn't let go of her hand.
He carefully cleaned and bandaged her wound, his expression serious.
Yue Ling fell silent.
She simply watched him
Smiling softly.
As if…
She was seeing Gu Jin again.
"Don't do that again next time."
Shen Yan said seriously.
"You said I'm your assistant, right? Then I should protect you."
"I did say that."
He replied.
"But that also means you follow my orders."
Yue Ling was about to respond
But suddenly
Her stomach growled.
Shen Yan heard it.
He looked at her.
"…Why are you always hungry?"
Without waiting for an answer
He stood up and brought her a one bowl of noodles.
Yue Ling's eyes lit up.
"Wow!"
"You're so nice to me today.
You know, when you're like this, you look even more handsome."
She said with a grin.
"Handsome?"
"Yeah, that's why I like you"
She suddenly froze.
"…Ah."
Realizing what she just said
She awkwardly laughed.
"I mean I feel comfortable around you, that's why I like you. Haha…"
She quickly continued eating to hide her embarrassment.
"Go outside."
"Huh?"
"Finish your food out there."
"I have someone to talk to."
"…Oh, okay."
She stood up and walked out.
Outside
She ran into Lu Chen.
"Who is she?
I just saw her earlier… Why do you seem so close to her?"
"Close?"
Shen Yan replied calmly.
"I just treated her wound."
"And why did you treat it yourself? There are doctors for that, you know."
Lu Chen said teasingly.
"I treated her because she saved me earlier."
"…Really?"
Shen Yan shot him a cold glance.
Lu Chen immediately shut up and changed the topic.
"Ah, right… who were those people you fought earlier?"
He asked seriously
"They were not ordinary bandits…"
"They belong to the Night Lotus Sect."
"The Night Lotus…? I thought they disappeared years ago."
"…Someone is targeting you."
As they were talking
Suddenly
They heard a commotion outside.
"What's that noise?"
Lu Chen asked.
Without hesitation
They rushed out.
And what they saw
Made them stop.
Yue Ling
And Princess Zhao Lianhua
Were fighting.
Did you feel the tension between them? 👀💔
