Chapter 161: Who Caused All The Injuries On Xin’er?
“Older Sister, are you in pain?” Lin Nan looked at Lin Xin’s wound that was still bleeding, asking with a whimpering tone.
“Of course it hurts, don’t ask such a stupid question.” Lin Tao glanced at the whimpering Lin Nan, saying helplessly, “You should hurry up and give the healing medicine to Auntie! What’s the use of just asking? Can it stop the bleeding or relieve the pain?”
“Right, Tao Tao is right, I’ve lost my head.” Lin Nan randomly wiped his face, turned around, walked to the place where the luggage was piled up, and began searching.
“Auntie, don’t be afraid. Once I return to the Imperial Palace, I’ll have my dad kill them all to vent your anger!” Lin Tao finally drove away Lin Nan, standing in front of Lin Xin like a little adult, speaking to her seriously.
“······Good, Auntie is waiting for you to vent my anger!” Lin Xin smiled, rubbing his head.
She had previously used too much of her wood element ability to trip up the man in black, and just now she had used it to repair the wound on her abdomen. At this moment, she had almost none left, not even enough to stop her own bleeding.
“I’m serious!” Lin Tao unhappily tilted his head.
“Good, Auntie knows.” Lin Xin looked at the seriousness in his gaze and nodded earnestly.
Only then was Lin Tao satisfied. He gently approached the wound on Lin Xin’s shoulder and blew on it little by little, “Blow on it and it won’t hurt anymore!”
Lin Nan finally found the healing medicine that Cui Shi had given him for self-defense, brought it over, and handed it to Lin Xin, “Older Sister, can you manage by yourself?”
“Yes!” Lin Xin answered decisively.
With her affirmative answer, Lin Nan dragged Lin Tao to the corner of the horse carriage and sat down, pulling him into his arms and restraining his limbs so he couldn’t move.
“What are you doing!” Lin Tao asked while struggling.
“Don’t you know men and women shouldn’t be physically intimate? My older sister is a girl, you can’t watch her apply the medicine!” Lin Nan answered righteously.
“Then······alright then!” Lin Tao also remembered that Meng Yichen had indeed taught him something like that, so he gave up struggling and obediently nestled in Lin Nan’s arms.
Hearing their conversation, Lin Xin felt like she would really laugh until her wound burst open. Such a tiny little kid already knew about men and women not being physically intimate. Had he forgotten what he had done when he was as big as Lin Tao? What a more and more unlovable little brat!
Lin Xin moved her somewhat numb leg, used the dagger to cut open the clothes at the wound, and began carefully applying the medicine to herself.
It had to be said that Cui Shi’s medical skill was truly excellent. The originally burning wound was immediately covered by a feeling of coolness after applying the ointment, and the pain was greatly reduced.
After applying the medicine, exhaustion came crashing over her. Lin Xin carefully shifted her body, found a comfortable position to lie down without pulling at the wound, and almost instantly fell asleep.
Over there, the two little ones waited for a long time without hearing Lin Xin call them. Lin Tao forcefully pulled away Lin Nan’s hand that was covering his eyes, and upon seeing Lin Xin lying there, he immediately cried out in alarm, patting the Lin Nan behind him: “Auntie has fainted, go check on her quickly!”
Lin Nan scrambled over almost tumbling. He first carefully observed her complexion, then tested her breathing. Seeing that although her face was pale, her breathing was steady, he knew she was most likely not fainted, but asleep.
He checked the pulses on both her hands, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and glared irritably at Lin Tao who was watching him eagerly beside him: “What are you yelling about? My older sister is just tired and fell asleep, she didn’t faint!”
“Really? That’s great!” Lin Tao wasn’t upset even after being scolded.
“Older Sister is too tired so she fell asleep. She protected us all the way, now it’s our turn to protect her!” Lin Nan sat down beside Lin Xin, speaking to her gently.
“Good, I’ll do it with you!” Lin Tao also sat beside him.
Outside the horse carriage, Mo Ziyuan was like a killing god descending to earth. None of the remaining few men in black could escape the sword in his hand; without exception, all of them had their legs severed.
Gao Yong and the others knew he was upset inside, so earlier none of them had acted against the Imperial Guards, only stopping them when they tried to escape.
Everyone had just seen Lin Xin’s miserable state. Now that the battle was over, Gao Yong immediately asked him: “Is Miss Lin alright?”
Mo Ziyuan shook his head, “She should be fine. After dealing with these people, I’ll go see her.”
With that, he gripped his sword and walked expressionlessly to the nearest man in black.
The killing intent in his eyes was almost tangible. Even the Imperial Guards, who had long vowed to sacrifice their lives for their master without hesitation, couldn’t help but tremble inwardly.
“Thud, thud, thud······” Mo Ziyuan’s footsteps were extremely heavy, each step like stepping on the hearts of the Imperial Guards, making them forget the pain in their legs and involuntarily scoot back a bit.
“Know fear now? Weren’t you very fierce when dealing with my Xin’er just now? Tell me, who inflicted the wounds on her body? Which hand did they use?” Mo Ziyuan’s voice, cold enough to drop ice shards, rang above their heads.
None of them spoke.
Mo Ziyuan seemed not to need their answer. He looked down at this man in black, flipped his wrist, and the sword tip lightly drew over his face. The black cloth covering his face immediately split into two and floated to the sides, exposing an utterly ordinary face to everyone.
“Whoa, so this is what a Secret Guard looks like?” Gao Yong craned his neck to look and commented.
Mo Ziyuan ignored him, merely sliding the sword tip from that Secret Guard’s forehead all the way down until it stopped at his throat, “I hear that a sword to the throat kills quickly and with almost no pain. How about you experience it for me and then tell me the answer?”
The Secret Guard’s forehead twitched. Experience your ass! Once it’s a sword to the throat, how would he tell you!
“If you don’t answer, I’ll take that as agreement!” Mo Ziyuan said, then slashed open this Secret Guard’s throat with one sword. When his blood spurted out, he agilely dodged to the side, escaping the fate of being blood-washed in the face.
But Gao Yong standing behind him was out of luck. The Secret Guard’s entire cavity of blood spurted almost entirely onto him, adding a patch of red to his already filthy robe.
“Damn, Zi Yuan, you didn’t even warn me before striking. Look at all this blood on me!” He looked at his clothes and let out a strange yell!
The man in black clutched his throat, his eyes rarely filled with terror, seemingly not expecting Mo Ziyuan to strike directly without even saying a word.
He could feel patches of darkness coming over his eyes, the blood in his body gushing out, choking into his chest cavity, and with every cough, bringing out a spray of bloody foam.
Gradually, his struggles grew weaker and weaker, until finally he stopped moving······
