"Hmm…where is this? " Water…Water…" Xuan weakly tried to open her eyes as she mumbled in a daze.
"Ah, Lord Xuan, you're awake. Wait, I'll get you some water now.”
Vaguely, Xuan heard a nervous voice beside him. It was crisp and pleasant to hear.
Not long after, he felt someone lift him up from behind and he was lying in a small embrace. A faint cherry blossom fragrance wafted into his nose, making him feel relaxed.
A cup of clear water was brought to his mouth. Xuan did not care who was serving him and hurriedly drank it in large mouthfuls. After drinking it in two mouthfuls, his throat felt a little better.
"Milord, let me pour you another cup."
Xuan felt herself being gently put down, and the person behind her walked away. In a short while, she came back with a glass of water. This went back and forth three times before she stopped.
He lay down again and carefully felt the condition of his body. The stab wound beside his heart had been bandaged, and all the wounds on his body had been treated. Some of the small cuts had already formed scars. It seemed that they had been treated by medical ninjutsu.
At the end of the battle between Genji and Hikari Ujino, Genji chose to go all out. He had forcefully moved his heart away from the opponent's stab, causing the stab to miss. Then, he had used the Spiral Ball to finish off his opponent. At that time, even if he had hesitated or made a mistake, it was likely that Genji would not have been able to get up.
In a daze, a pair of cool little hands pressed on his temples and gently rubbed them. He could feel that the owner of the hands was very careful, afraid of waking Xuan up.
Not long after, Xuan slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was a small face. Her facial features were exquisite, and her hair was very long. It was the kind of soft hair that smelled like cherry blossoms. Her hands were pressing on her head to massage her. She didn't look very old and looked about the same as herself. She was wearing a pink kimono, which gave her a very comfortable feeling.
"Who are you?" Xuan asked doubtfully. When he opened his mouth, his voice was so hoarse that he was shocked.
Seeing that Xuan had woken up, the little girl's eyes flashed with surprise. She hurriedly placed his head on the pillow and ran to the side to kneel down in a very formal manner."Lord Xuan, my name is Qian Yeying. I'm a maid sent by the family head.”
"Maid?" Xuan turned his head and looked at her carefully. This time, he looked at her very carefully until her face turned red. She lowered her head quietly and then retracted her gaze.
"Not bad. It's good to follow me in the future. Has Eldest Uncle returned?" Xuan said softly. Although she was a little young, she could still see that she was a beauty. In the future, she would not be too bad. It was not bad to be a maid by her side. Most people would not refuse to be served by others.
Qian Yeying's face lit up and she quickly said,""Yes, the patriarch came back yesterday.”
Xuan nodded slightly and continued to ask,"How many days have I been unconscious?"”
"Including today, Lord Xuan has been unconscious for a total of three days.”
"Where's the Uchiha spot? How is he?"
"Young master Ban's injuries are slightly lighter than Lord Xuan's. He is recuperating in his room and is out of danger.”
Xuan's lips curled up into a smile. He was keenly aware that Ying addressed Ban as Young Master while calling him Lord. This meant that in her heart, his position was higher than Ban's.
"Since uncle is back, what about the situation on the battlefield?”Xuan thought for a moment and asked.
"This servant doesn't know. The matters on the battlefield aren't things that servants like us can know.”
Xuan nodded and asked her a few more questions. She didn't know most of the things related to the clan ninjas.
As for why his uncle would suddenly send him a maid, Xuan could guess. It was probably because the news of him activating the Three Hook Jade Blood Chakra Eye and fighting Jounin had already reached his uncle's ears. That was why he gave him a maid. This was a recognition of his strength and status.
In his eyes, he was no longer the next generation that needed protection, but a Uchiha Ninja who could take charge of his own affairs. Perhaps there was another meaning, which was that after he recovered, he would finally be able to accept missions as a ninja. Of course, it was also possible to go to the battlefield, but Genji estimated that the possibility of going to the battlefield was not high. He was still too young, and the battlefield was too dangerous. According to the level of talent he showed, unless his uncle was really stupid or Uchiha was in a critical moment, he would not go to a place like the battlefield.
After thinking about this, Xuan began to ask her some personal questions about this little maid.
"Ying, how old are you this year?"
"Six years old."
"Uh, you're one year older than me. I couldn't tell. Where are your parents?”
" I don't know. I haven't seen him since I was born. I've been living among a group of refugees since I could remember. I had to worry about food every day. Later, when I was three years old, I had a high fever and fainted. I was abandoned by them. Fortunately, I was picked up by the ninjas of my family. I've been living in the family and was trained as a maid.”
Qian Yeying spoke very calmly. Her tone did not fluctuate at all, as if she was not talking about herself.
Xuan frowned. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't. This was the Warring States Period, and such things were common. There were cruel bandits everywhere, and the big countries were attacking each other. The ninjas of all races were also in a mess. Countless people starved to death every day. It was not empty talk to say that a thousand miles of land was barren. It was already very lucky that Thousand Night Firefly was picked up by the Uchiha clan.
In fact, there were many such people in the Uchiha clan, both men and women. The men asked them to cultivate the land and grow food to support the Uchiha clan. After all, you couldn't expect a group of murderous ninjas to farm.
The women were engaged in light work, such as weaving hemp clothes. Some beautiful ones would also be taken in by some ninjas. After all, the blood of the Uchiha family could be inherited by the next generation as long as the man was from the Uchiha family. There was no requirement for the woman. Of course, whether or not she could open the Blood Wheel Eye was another matter.
"Xiao Ying, come and massage my head."
"Yes, sir!" Xiao Ying quickly got up and gently lifted Xuan's head on her lap. Her small hands gently rubbed Xuan's head.
Enjoying the massage, Xuan couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated. He suddenly had a good impression of this world. If it wasn't for his previous life, he wouldn't have been able to enjoy the services of a six-year-old loli. Moreover, looking at the situation, he could even play a nurturing game.
"Ying, didn't you say that you didn't know who your parents were?”Xuan closed his eyes and asked casually.
Qian Yeying's hand paused for a moment, then she said as if nothing had happened,""Qianye is the surname of the person who adopted me. I don't have parents, so I naturally followed his surname.”
"Where is he now?"
"When I was three years old and had a high fever, he was the first to abandon me!”
Although Qian Yeying's tone was very calm, Xuan could clearly feel the strength in her hands increase. He chuckled and said,""I see. How about you take my surname, Uchiha?”
Qian Yeying's hand froze and she forced a smile.""Lord Xuan, you must be joking."
Xuan looked into her eyes seriously."I'm serious."
Qian Yeying did not speak anymore and remained silent. However, Xuan Neng could clearly feel that her hands had become much lighter, and she felt exceptionally comfortable.
