The two boarded the carriage, and Tu Ying, with a flushed face, grabbed Bai Ruozhu's arm and asked, "I heard your second brother was injured in an assassination attempt, what exactly happened?"
The Bai Family did not publicize Bai Zepei's injury, and people like Qin Kaichang dared not speak of it elsewhere. Even when the Academy's instructors came to visit, they thought Bai Zepei had merely caught a cold and was just recovering from a serious illness.
"It was a Dark Arrow that hit him in the chest, but thankfully it missed his heart, and he's mostly recovered now," Bai Ruozhu, not wanting Tu Ying to worry, explained briefly. However, Tu Ying's grip on Bai Ruozhu's arm involuntarily tightened, causing a bit of pain, which Bai Ruozhu endured without a sound.
"What? That dangerous?" Tu Ying exclaimed, quickly realizing her lapse and hastily released Bai Ruozhu's arm, apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, did I hurt you? I'm a lot stronger than most women."
