PaiPai-Romane

Kapitel 36

I was filled with overwhelming regret and almost burst into tears.

Why was she so careless? She should have been alerted the first time he said it.

Who is this person? His name is Chu Gexing, the most outstanding and unfathomable disciple of Tianmiao Peak, a person that even the sect leader cannot underestimate.

This person is so deep and calculating, how could he possibly play such a silly trick as "I was just trying to scare you" with her?

Naïve! Foolish!

Tang Leyan almost wanted to hit her own head.

Shouldn't you be on your guard when facing that person?

If anything happens to Xiao Di...

How could I... forgive him?

She suddenly felt a chill run through her body, her breath caught in her throat, and unconsciously, her fingernails dug deeply into her palms as she stared blankly ahead.

I dare not think about it anymore.

She leaped into the mansion and continued inside.

Fortunately, I heard a sound.

"That person already said that if you don't force yourself to suppress it, you'll suffer less."

It's a servant's book!

"Xiao Di, Xiao Di, listen to me, don't do this, you're just asking for trouble!"

There was no response from the other party.

"When the young master comes back, everything will be fine. Xiao Di, Xiao Di, don't be like this... Where are you going?" Her voice was already tinged with tears.

Tang Leyan leaped inside, her hand outstretched, but she didn't have time to push the door open.

Because someone had already opened the door before her.

The boy's pale, bloodless face, like a blank sheet of paper, lay right in front of him.

Xiao Di raised his eyes, his ink-painted eyes sweeping over coldly.

He hadn't expected to see her at this time, and a hint of shock and astonishment flickered in his usually cold eyes.

The person who rushed up from behind was Shi Shu, whose eyes were red at the moment. When she saw Tang Leyan, she cried out with joy, "Young Master, you...you're back..." Her voice slowly lowered, and she really couldn't help but cry.

"Don't cry, sweetie." Her voice was unexpectedly gentle.

"Shishu, go prepare a basin of hot water. I need to wash my face later. Also, I'm hungry; I didn't eat breakfast this morning."

Tang Leyan gave the instructions.

But his eyes were only fixed on the person in front of him.

Shi Shu sniffed, nodded, and replied, "I understand, I'll go right away."

He walked past Xiao Di without looking back.

Shi Shu felt at ease the moment she saw Tang Leyan: Young Master is back. As long as she is back, everything should be alright.

She firmly believed it in her heart and never doubted it.

Shi Shu wiped away her tears and quickened her pace.

※※※※※

Tang Leyan quietly looked at the person in front of her.

At first, Xiao Di looked back at her, but in the end, he slowly turned his head away.

"What? Where are you going?" she finally asked.

There was even a hint of a smile on his face.

Xiao Di remained silent.

“Speak up, you’ve become mute.”

“Young Master…” He dared not disobey, and answered, but could not continue.

"What? You don't know?" She chuckled softly, becoming even more considerate, her smile as radiant as a flower.

Xiao Di's clenched hands were trembling slightly.

He turned his head and glanced quickly at her.

A broad smile played on her lips, but her eyes...

It was chillingly cold.

This is not a laugh, absolutely not.

Seeing this expression, he couldn't move an inch. The courage and recklessness he had shown when dealing with Shishu just now had suddenly vanished.

When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave one will prevail.

But in front of her, he was always the one who lacked courage.

In the midst of the stalemate, he suddenly took a step back.

In an instant, a flick of the sleeve appeared before them.

A sharp pain shot through his left cheek, and his vision blurred. Xiao Di lost his balance and stumbled backward. He didn't try to steady himself, or perhaps his body, tormented by the strange internal force, could no longer withstand it. He staggered and finally collapsed to the ground. When he groggily raised his head again, there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

Tang Leyan slowly withdrew her fist.

His hands were clenched tightly, and his small knuckles were clearly visible, like carvings of white jade.

His eyes slowly rose, and a murderous intent slowly emerged.

"Young Master..." Xiao Di called out in a trembling voice.

"You're leaving without knowing where you're going? Haven't I treated you well?" The man stepped forward, reached out, and pinched his chin.

A blood-red light flashed in his clear eyes.

"Young Master!" Xiao Di raised his voice.

The hand gripping her chin tightened more and more, and Xiao Di felt that her chin would be crushed mercilessly in the next moment.

But he was trembling all over and couldn't raise his hand to resist.

This kind of momentum...

An atmosphere intertwined with bloodshed and darkness...

Why did he actually provoke this?

This is suicide.

Xiao Di closed his eyes in despair, unable to face the pair of eyes that were gradually turning bloodshot.

※※※※※

After an unknown amount of time, the man suddenly loosened his grip.

He felt a tight grip on his shoulder as she grabbed him and flung him toward the headboard. Xiao Di was thrown into the air, but landed lightly on the bed.

Tang Leyan swayed and got onto the bed at the same time. She straightened his body and sat behind him. Her hands intertwined and flipped, and she made moves as fast as the wind, quickly pressing several major acupoints on his back.

Xiao Di slowly opened his eyes.

Behind her, she lowered her eyes, her two slender and elegant eyebrows like two sharp swords, her face expressionless, but her hands never stopped moving.

The clothes were soaked through wherever they touched.

That's because the pain was so intense, that's why they broke out in a cold sweat.

He said he was taking a bath last time, which was probably due to him forcibly suppressing Chu Gexing's strange internal energy.

And she didn't even notice.

Indeed, the crime is unforgivable.

My heart is breaking.

Tang Leyan smiled coldly: "Don't worry, I've healed your internal injuries. You can go wherever you want, I absolutely—won't stop you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Di's previously bewildered expression suddenly changed drastically.

Those usually cold and indifferent eyes were suddenly filled with fear.

Tang Leyan moved her palm and placed it against his back.

At this critical moment, his men suddenly began to struggle violently.

Chapter Forty-Seven: Healing

Tang Leyan moved her palm and placed it against Xiao Di's back.

Just as he was about to channel his internal energy, the person beneath him suddenly began to struggle violently.

"What are you doing!" Tang Leyan reacted quickly, placing her left hand on his shoulder and pulling him back forcefully.

"If you want me to leave, kill me first!" Xiao Di shouted, ignoring all else.

"You bastard, shut up!" She raised her eyebrows, a slight blush rising on her pale face from anger.

His subordinates, however, did not stop, channeling their powerful internal energy into Xiao Di's body like a tidal wave.

"No!" The boy was held down tightly by her and couldn't move, but he still shouted, "Weren't you just about to kill me? Why did you hold back? Kill me!"

Tang Leyan bit her lower lip and frowned.

"You were the one who wanted to leave! Isn't it good that I'm granting your wish?"

Xiao Di's body stiffened, a buzzing sound went through his mind, and a pang of sorrow gripped his heart. Without thinking, he blurted out, "I wanted to leave myself. I'm useless, I couldn't beat that fiend. I knew he was trying to use me to blackmail you. Didn't Mo Hua say the same thing? You...spent the night at his place last night. It's my fault...it's my fault..." His voice choked with sobs, "I...I'd rather die than let you be threatened by him, Young Master..."

Tang Leyan was startled, only to feel the thin body of the boy under her palm trembling slightly. He was soaking wet, like a small animal that had been caught in the rain and was shivering.

"So I'm leaving, why bother wasting your inner strength to heal me and let me go!" He suddenly stopped trembling and said loudly.

The anger slowly subsided, like the surging waves of the sea receding.

Tang Leyan slowly exhaled and closed her eyes.
