By the time Haojun, Xia Lianyue, and Uncle Liu arrived at Ling Nitian's bedroom, Ling Xue was already crying. She was sitting by the bed, holding onto her grandfather's hand as she cried,"" Grandpa, sob sob, what's wrong, grandpa? Wake up, grandpa…"
Other than Ling Xue, there was also a middle-aged woman in the room. She comforted Ling Xue from time to time. This middle-aged woman was He Mei, whom Uncle Liu had mentioned on the phone. She was Ling Xue's nanny when she was young and was usually responsible for taking care of the old man's daily life.
As soon as she entered, Xia Lianyue obediently called out to He Mei," Auntie He." Then, with reddened eyes, she asked,""What happened to Grandpa Ling?"
"Miss Xiaoyue is here too!" The middle-aged woman's eyes were also red."I don't know what's going on with Old Master's symptoms. It's probably a heart attack. Sigh, he didn't want her to be sent to the hospital…What should she do?”
Uncle Liu looked troubled." Miss, now that you're here, the old man is already like this. I…I really can't make up my mind. You…"
Ling Xue wiped her tears. Although she knew that her grandfather must have his reasons for not allowing her to be sent to the hospital, was there any other way besides sending her to the hospital?
At the thought of this, he couldn't care less about his grandfather's instructions. Just as he was about to send her to the hospital, Haojun suddenly said,""All of you can go out for a while. Let me check on the old master's situation!”Then, he walked to the bed and helped Ling Nitian up…
"What are you doing?" Ling Xue was furious. She pushed Haojun away and shouted,""Do you think you're a doctor? You're annoyed when I see you. Get out of here…"
Hao Jun was stunned. He couldn't help but rub his nose. He was very depressed. He was sure that Grandfather Ling's illness was not a heart attack. Since Grandfather Ling didn't want to go to the hospital, he had his reasons. He had learned the cultivation technique, so he could use his zhenqi to help Grandfather Ling check inside. Perhaps he could find out the reason.
But now, Ling Xue, this chick, was like she had eaten explosives. She actually told him to get lost. No matter how good-tempered Hao Jun was, he could not help but feel a little angry. However, he did not flare up. After all, Grandfather Ling's illness was more important. Hence, he looked at Uncle Liu as if he was asking for help.
Uncle Liu's heart was already in a mess. After all, the old man's instructions to not go to the hospital were still ringing in his ears. Seeing Haojun's confident look, he was inexplicably moved. Perhaps it was because he trusted Haojun or Haojun's confidence moved him. He immediately heard him say,"Cough, Miss, why don't we let Mr. Li help Old Master? I don't think Mr. Li is the kind of arrogant person. Since he said so, I think he really has some unique skills in this aspect.”
"That's right, Xue 'er, let Haojun help Grandpa Ling first!”Xia Lianyue stuck out her tongue. The leader also spoke up for Haojun. However, she felt a little uncomfortable seeing Haojun's depressed expression. Haojun wasn't the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people's business. Now that Grandpa Ling's life was at stake, he couldn't just show off. Maybe Haojun really had a way. At least, Haojun wouldn't hurt Grandpa Ling when she was here. So what if it was just a little?
In a moment of desperation, Ling Xue said something to ask Haojun to get lost. In fact, she also regretted it. After all, Haojun had good intentions. She was sad, so she could vent her anger on him like this? Moreover, on the way, Haojun had even helped him gain a lot of face with his superb driving skills, causing the arrogant and annoying Kim Hyun-Ho to almost capsize his car.
Thinking of this, Ling Xue was wondering if she should say a few gentle words to calm Haojun down. Who knew that Uncle Liu and Xia Lianyue would rush to put in a good word for Haojun. Suddenly, an inexplicable anger rose in her heart. She thought to herself, Who is this Haojun? Why is it that everyone around me seems to have been fed a ** soup by him?
She didn't know if she was jealous or something else, but she pouted and said angrily,"You guys trust him so much, but what if he takes care of Grandpa's emergency treatment time? If anything happened to Grandfather, who would be responsible?”
" This…" Uncle Liu was stunned for a moment, and he exchanged an awkward look with Xia Lianyue.
Xia Lianyue sighed in her heart and shook her head. She knew that Ling Xue was throwing a tantrum again, so she didn't say anything.
Suddenly, the middle-aged woman, Aunt He, who had been silent all this while, spoke. She glanced at Haojun and said,""Are these the bodyguards of the lady that the old man mentioned, Haojun and Mr. Li?”
Uncle Liu smiled awkwardly." Yes, it's a special situation. I don't even have time to introduce you."”
"It doesn't matter," Aunt He said. I've heard the old man talk about this Mr. Li many times. He said that he's young, but he's actually a very amazing person. You really can't judge a book by its cover.”The latter sentence was a sincere compliment, but why did it sound so awkward to Haojun?
What did he mean by not judging a book by its cover?
Could it be that although he was very impressive, he was just an ordinary good-for-nothing that no one would look at if he was thrown into a crowd?
Although Haojun usually wore shabby clothes, he had always been confident in his appearance. He couldn't bear such a blow…
Fortunately, Haojun knew that Aunty He didn't mean to mock him. He nodded politely and said,""Hello, Auntie He. I came so suddenly just now that I forgot to greet you.”
"It's alright." Auntie He smiled gently and said to Ling Xue,""Miss, I don't dare to say much about other things, but I think no one knows Old Master's temper better than me. He said that he won't send him to the hospital, so I'm afraid it involves some secrets that he doesn't want to reveal to others. Since Mr. Li is so confident, why don't you let him try? I also think that the old master is such a heavy person. He definitely isn't just pretending.”
Uncle Liu was used to spoiling Ling Xue, so Ling Xue could ignore Uncle Liu's words and ignore Xia Lianyue. However, she had always respected Aunt He, who had brought her up and served her grandfather for many years. Aunt He was like a family member to her. However, the more she treated her like this, the more uncomfortable she felt. Just now, she thought that Haojun had fed the people around her a ** soup. After all this, Aunt He had also fallen for him. She was really depressed. She felt wronged. Tears streamed down her face as she stood up and said,""Since you trust him so much, I won't care anymore.”Then, she jogged out…
" Miss, Miss…" Although Auntie He called her Miss Lingxue, she actually treated her as her daughter. Seeing her little temper, she could not help but say," This child is really…" She sighed and followed her out. ()
"Cough cough!" Uncle Liu coughed awkwardly and said,"Miss Xiaoyue, shall we go out too?”
"Mm, alright!" Xia Lianyue responded but didn't leave immediately. Instead, she asked curiously,""Bodyguard Leng, why do you want everyone to go out?”
" Because I'm going to take off the old man's clothes," Haojun said." If you don't mind…" Before he could finish, Xia Lianyue stuck out her tongue. He quickly turned around and jogged out.
Haojun smiled bitterly. The real reason he asked everyone to leave was not because of this, but because he did not want to reveal his other identity!
After the door closed, only Haojun and the unconscious Grandfather Ling were left in the room. Haojun looked at the old man's face and found that his face was slightly twisted, as if he was in great pain before he fainted. He felt a little strange and straightened the old man's body. Then, he used a trace of gentle Genuine Qi and slowly pressed it against the old man's back. After a round of probing, he found that the old man's physical condition was really terrible. His meridians were completely disordered, his qi and blood were blocked, and his organs were in shock. He even had difficulty breathing. It was really dangerous.
Haojun was checking the old man's condition while thinking about the origin of this symptom. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he remembered what Uncle Zhang once said."On the path of cultivation, remember not to be impatient for quick success or instant benefits. Otherwise, it is very likely that you will go berserk! Once he entered the Devil's Path, his meridians would definitely be in disorder and his zhenqi would flow backward. At the very least, he would be paralyzed, and at the very worst, his spirit and body would be destroyed. Moreover, what's even more terrifying is that once a person becomes demonized, they will not recognize their family and will kill the innocent. If you appear one day, don't blame me for being merciless…"
Thinking of this, Haojun couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, because he was sure that the old man's symptoms were very similar to the signs of being possessed…
After a long time, Haojun seemed to have made a big decision. He gritted his teeth and said,""Alright, since things have come to this, I can't be bothered to damage my true essence.”After saying that, she took off the old man's shirt, then straightened her body and sat in a seated position. She took off her shoes and socks and followed suit. Sitting on the bed behind the old man, he took a deep breath and released his zhenqi. Two balls of red flames appeared in his palms and slowly pressed against the old man's back, forcing the zhenqi that he had cultivated with great difficulty into the old man's body...
Time passed silently. Unknowingly, it was already very late at night.
In the living room outside, Ling Xue had knocked on the door countless times, but there was still no response from the room. She couldn't help but feel anxious and angry. She vented her anger on Xia Lianyue and Uncle Liu, blaming them for not trusting Haojun so much. She said that if Haojun took care of her grandfather's emergency treatment time, who would be responsible for the consequences? Xia Lianyue and Uncle Liu lowered their heads and felt a little regretful. After all, Haojun had been in there for a few hours and hadn't even said a word. If something really happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Xue 'er, don't just worry. Think of a way.”Xia Lianyue didn't know what to do after hearing Ling Xue's words, so she said with a serious expression,""Why don't we find something to pry open the lock?”
"Cough!" Uncle Liu said awkwardly," It's useless, Miss Xiaoyue. I asked someone to change the lock. Unless you have a key, you can just break it open. There's no other way."”
Ling Xue pursed her lips and said,"Alright, let's knock it open then…"?
After more than four hours of treatment, the chaotic zhenqi in Grandfather Ling's body was finally suppressed by the weak yet domineering zhenqi in Haojun's body. Then, Haojun guided the chaotic zhenqi in Grandfather Ling's body back to his dantian. At this point, all the organs in Grandfather Ling's body finally returned to normal and began to function. His breathing also gradually became smoother, but he still couldn't wake up for a while.
The process of healing the old man had exhausted almost all of Haojun's energy. As soon as his hands left the old man's back, his whole body collapsed on the bed as if he had collapsed. His face was terrifyingly pale. His black short-sleeved shirt looked as if it had been soaked in water. It was covered in sweat.
Although he could hear the knocking on the door from time to time and Ling Xue's scolding, Haojun did not have the strength to get up and open the door. It was not until he had rested for about half an hour that the knocking sounds outside had turned into the sound of punches that he sighed. He could not bear to let Ling Xue and the others worry anymore, so he reluctantly got up from the bed and moved over step by step.
Haojun walked to the door and pulled it open with great difficulty. Suddenly, a soft body crashed into him and fell into his arms. Then, he heard Ling Xue scream,""Ah…"
With this scream, Haojun fell backward with a bang. His bones were about to fall apart. However, it was not over. After moaning twice, Ling Xue's entire body pounced down and pressed onto him. Her red and moist mouth coincidentally pressed against his lips. Suddenly, the intense pain made Haojun reach out his hand unconsciously, wanting to push Ling Xue away. However, his left hand pressed on Ling Xue's shoulder, and his right hand grabbed a lump of soft flesh on Ling Xue's right chest. On the ball…
In that instant, time seemed to have stopped.
Haojun and Ling Xue's lips met, their eyes met, and their ambiguous actions seemed to have condensed into a static picture.
At the door, Uncle Liu, Auntie He, and Xia Lianyue's mouths were wide open, and their eyes were as wide as bells.
" Slap!" Ling Xue finally regained consciousness. She was about to go crazy. Her face turned red from her ears to her neck…Her heart was beating faster than normal. She was embarrassed and angry. She raised her fair hand and slapped Haojun. Then, she quickly got up and stood at the side with a red face. Her mind was completely blank. If there was anything else in it, it was anger!
After Xia Lianyue recovered from her shock, she suddenly noticed that Haojun, who was lying on the ground, had blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth. Her heart suddenly ached for no reason, as if she had been pricked by a needle. She quickly ran in and squatted down to help Haojun up. She let him lean his head against her chest and said anxiously,"" Haojun, what's wrong? Why are you bleeding…"
Ling Xue's heart skipped a beat. She turned her head and found Haojun's face was frighteningly pale. He was sweating all over and blood was flowing out of the corner of his mouth. She was shocked. The anger and embarrassment she felt just now had disappeared and was replaced by fear. She thought,'Did I accidentally knock him down just now and he became like this? Ah, if he, he…" She really didn't dare to think about the rest. It was just that the young miss's self-esteem was too strong, so although she was afraid, she said,""This has nothing to do with me. Who told him to open the door at this time? Humph!"
Xia Lianyue turned around and glared at Ling Xue. This was the first time in her life that she had been angry at Ling Xue."Xue 'er, you were the one who hit him and slapped him. Why are you still making sarcastic remarks here? Hurry up and call the hospital!
Ling Xue felt wronged by Xia Lianyue's words. She thought to herself," You've only known him for a few days, yet you're already so concerned about her and even angry at me." Thinking of this, her eyes reddened and she wanted to retort, but when she saw Haojun's pale face, she couldn't bear to lose her temper in this situation. She took out her phone and was about to call the hospital when Haojun suddenly said,""I…I'm fine. "No need…no need to call…" As he spoke, he forced himself to stand up with his hands.
Xia Lianyue quickly held Haojun's hand and said gently,""Are you really okay? I'd better go to the hospital. I'm already so injured!”
Haojun didn't expect Xia Lianyue to care so much about him, and he felt a warm feeling in his heart. He turned around and smiled at her, saying weakly,""Don't worry, I…I'm really fine. Old Master is fine. I'm just a little tired.”
"Ah, Master is fine?" Hearing this, Uncle Liu was overjoyed. He gave Haojun a grateful look and ran to the bed with Aunty He. The noise in the room woke up Ling Nitian. He moved his fingers and heard Aunty He say,"That's great, that's great. The old master is really fine. His fingers are moving.”
Uncle Liu also said,"Yes, the old man's breathing has become smoother. That's great." Mr. Li, I really don't know how to thank you this time!”
Hearing this, Ling Xue's heart skipped a beat and she stole a glance at Haojun. She remembered that Haojun was so tired because he had saved her grandfather. Not only did she not thank him, but she had also knocked him to the ground and slapped him ruthlessly. After that, not only did she not apologize, she even tried to shirk responsibility. Suddenly, she felt as if she had been stabbed by something. She was about to apologize to Haojun when she saw Xia Lianyue saying to Haojun with a concerned expression,""Are you tired? Then I'll help you to the sofa outside to rest! " Walk slowly…" As she spoke, she helped Haojun out.
For some reason, Ling Xue could not apologize. Instead, she felt a little sour in her heart. She could not help but rub her lips that were stained with Haojun's saliva. Right at this moment, Ling Nitian coughed twice, and Ling Xue's thoughts were diverted away. She turned around and walked to the bed, only to find that Ling Nitian had opened his eyes and was smiling kindly at her.
Ling Xue didn't know if it was because she was happy or for some other reason, but her heart ached. She hugged her grandfather and cried,"" Grandpa…sob sob, grandpa…" It was as if he had suffered some injustice and was crying to his elders!
"Alright, Xue 'er, Grandpa is fine. You don't have to be so sad. Cough, cough!”Ling Nitian consoled Ling Xue tiredly. He really did feel like he had a new life after death. He sighed and looked at Uncle Liu and Aunt He. He asked in confusion,"Only you guys?"
"Grandpa, Miss Xiaoyue and Mr. Li." They're in the living room now…"
"Haojun?" Grandfather Ling's heart skipped a beat as he seemed to have understood something. Although he had been unconscious before, when the zhenqi in his body returned to normal, he had a trace of consciousness. He knew that someone had risked his life to pull him back from the gates of hell. As soon as he woke up, his thoughts were still in a mess. Now that Uncle Liu mentioned Haojun, he immediately said,"He saved me?" His expression seemed to be abnormally excited. After saying that, he could not help but cough violently a few times.
"Grandpa!" Ling Xue quickly pushed the old man's chest and said,""Don't be too excited."
Ling Nitian nodded, and after he calmed down, he said,"All of you go out and call Haojun in. I have something to say to him.”
" Old Master," Uncle Liu said awkwardly," Mr. Li seems to be very tired. I'm afraid he doesn't even have the strength to walk or talk now. Why don't…"
"Oh?" Ling Nitian's eyes flashed with shame as he smiled bitterly,"Yes, he must be exhausted by now. Forget it then. Let him rest more. This time, he really sacrificed a lot for me. I'm already old and I don't know how to thank him. Sigh.”As he spoke, he sighed and shook his head.
As a self-cultivator, Ling Nitian knew very well that damaging his own vital qi would cause his cultivation to regress. Therefore, vital qi was an important thing for every self-cultivator. Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one would be so stupid as to use such a precious thing to save others. Besides, he knew his own condition very well. He knew that if Haojun wanted to save him with his strength, he would have to regress Haojun's cultivation for several years. Therefore, he felt guilty and grateful to Haojun!
Although Ling Xue knew that Haojun had saved her grandfather, she was still confused after hearing the old man's words."How did Haojun save grandfather? Why did his grandfather say that he had sacrificed a lot?”He wanted to ask, but Ling Nitian said,""Alright, Xue 'er, you and Xiaoyue send Haojun back. When we get back, tell him to rest well. This Sunday, let's have a meal together at the Imperial Dining Hall. I'll think of a way to thank him. Do you know?"
"Oh!" Ling Xue pouted slightly. She was a little jealous. Her grandfather's attitude towards Haojun was so good that she found it hard to believe. What right did he have? Wasn't he just a bodyguard? Based on her understanding of her grandfather, even if someone saved his life, he would at most think of a way to repay the person, but his attitude would definitely not be so good.
Now, even she felt that Haojun was a very mysterious person. She felt that this country bumpkin seemed to contain endless potential. First, he had mysterious skills, then he had amazing cooking and driving skills, and now he had inexplicable medical skills that could not be seen in the light...
What kind of magic did he have?
As Ling Xue thought about this, she saw that although her grandfather had woken up, he still looked exhausted. She could not bear to let him rest anymore, so she nodded and said,"Grandpa, have a good rest. Xue 'er will come to you again on Sunday!”
"Okay, let's go back. Grandpa knows!”
“……”
Ling Xue walked out of her grandfather's room and went to the living room. She saw Haojun leaning against the sofa, as if he had fallen asleep. His eyes were closed, and Xia Lianyue was wiping the sweat off his face with a towel. It was as if she didn't know that someone had come out. *
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ling Xue deliberately let out a few grunts with her nose, and Xia Lianyue suddenly reacted. Seeing Ling Xue's annoyed expression, her little face instantly turned red, and she giggled,""Xue 'er, you're out. How is Grandpa Ling?"
Ling Xue rolled her eyes." You still remember my grandfather? Hmph, he's already awake."”
"Ah!" "Then I'll go in with him," Xia Lianyue said.”
"There's no need, Miss Xiaoyue. Old Master is already resting. He specifically instructed you and Mr. Li to accompany Miss to the Imperial Dining Hall for a meal on Sunday. Don't forget!”The one who spoke was Uncle Liu, who had just walked out of Ling Nitian's room.
"I see. Alright then." Xia Lianyue responded, and Haojun opened his eyes slightly. He glanced at Uncle Liu and said,""Is Old Master alright?"
Uncle Liu said gratefully," It's alright, Mr. Li. The old man asked me to thank you. When you're better, he wants to talk to you personally." Now, let Miss and Miss Xiaoyue send you back. Remember to have a good rest.”
Haojun smiled weakly. He really didn't have the strength to speak. He only said " hmm " and didn't say anything else.
Ling Xue nudged Xia Lianyue." Can he still walk like this?" she asked.”
"Let's just help him get into the car," said Xia Lianyue.”
" Oh," Ling Xue replied. Normally, she wouldn't have helped Haojun up even if he was clean, let alone the smell of sweat. But now, without thinking, she walked over naturally and reached out to help Haojun up.
"No need, I…I'll do it myself!”When Ling Xue came over, Haojun suddenly stood up. His body swayed slightly and he almost fell. Fortunately, Xia Lianyue got up in time to support him.
He smiled bitterly. It was not that Haojun did not want someone to help him, but he was just a small bodyguard who smelled of sweat. How could he dare to ask Miss to help him personally? In his impression, Ling Xue had always hated him. Now that she wanted to come over and be a good person, she probably had no choice but to reluctantly agree because Uncle Liu was in front of her. That was why she stopped him.
Haojun's actions undoubtedly gave Ling Xue a feeling of being a thousand miles away from others. She felt as wronged as she could. Just now, she was grateful to Haojun, but now she hated Haojun again. She thought, I was kind enough to help you, but you're putting on airs? " Hmph, I just bumped into you and slapped you. I didn't mean it, so why are you so angry? Besides, I let you take advantage of me…" At the thought of this, her face turned red, and she was embarrassed and angry. She snorted and turned to leave alone. When she reached downstairs, she saw Haojun being supported by Uncle Liu and Xia Lianyue. She felt even more unhappy and thought to herself," You said you didn't need help." Why did he need Uncle Liu and Xiaoyue to help him down now? I'm so angry…'
Ling Xue glared at Haojun with a hint of resentment. She thought that Haojun hated her and had hurt her self-esteem. She secretly decided that she would never give this country bumpkin any face again. She had Xia Lianyue take the car keys from Haojun's pocket and get into the driver's seat. Xia Lianyue sat in the backseat and supported Haojun, letting Haojun's upper body rest on her shoulder.
After returning to the villa, Ling Xue opened the door without a sound and walked in. Although she heard Xia Lianyue say," Xue 'er, come and help me up," she couldn't be bothered with it. She went straight upstairs and walked into the bathroom."What's wrong with me? Why should she be angry for him? Is he worthy? And then my two pieces of coquettishness. Yan. desire Drops of red. Her lips. She thought of the first kiss that Haojun had taken away inadvertently. Her face suddenly turned red and her heart started beating for no reason. She seemed to be afraid of this feeling. She turned on the tap and took some water. She washed it again and again, as if she was afraid that Haojun's saliva would not be able to wash it off…
After Xia Lianyue helped Haojun to his room, she looked at his sweaty face and said,""Bodyguard Leng, do you want to take a shower?”
Haojun was stunned. He was touched by Xia Lianyue's performance today, but he deliberately teased her,""Do you think I can still bathe myself? Are you going to help me wash it?"
Xia Lianyue's face turned red." You wish…I'm afraid you won't be able to wash yourself in this state. Just lie down like this."”So she helped Haojun to lie on the bed. She went up and asked Haojun if he wanted water or something.
" No need," Hao Jun said." You're tired too. Go and rest early."”
Xia Lianyue replied with an "oh" and said,""Alright then. Have a good rest." He walked out and was about to close the door when he suddenly heard Haojun say "thank you". He suddenly thought of something and turned around with a smile."Don't think too much. I'm good to you only because you're the queen's slave, understand?”With that, she closed the door and went upstairs with a smile.
"Slaves?" Haojun smiled bitterly and thought,'This slave is worth it.'Seeing that the door was already closed, she reluctantly got out of bed. He got up. He didn't want to dirty the place where he slept. Fortunately, the wooden floor was quite clean. So, he sat down on the ground and circulated a trace of weak true qi according to the method of the Heaven-Defying Art…
After going upstairs, Xia Lianyue heard the sound of water splashing in the bathroom. When she reached the door, she saw Ling Xue washing something with water. It was wet, so he asked in confusion,"Xue 'er, what are you doing?"
"Hmm?" Ling Xue was stunned. She turned to look at Xia Lianyue, who had been standing at the door for some reason. She blushed for no reason and said,""None of your business!"
"Hehe!" Xia Lianyue smiled." I know. You're washing the saliva from your bodyguard Leng's mouth, aren't you?"”
"You wretched girl, if you bring this up again, I'm not done with you." Ling Xue said.”
Xia Lianyue smiled strangely." If I remember correctly, this should be your first kiss, right?"”
Ling Xue was about to go crazy. She grabbed some water with both hands and splashed it on Xia Lianyue."Who told you to spout nonsense, who told you to spout nonsense!"
