There were glints and flashes of cold steel. Blood splashed, and screaming chaos reigned underneath them.
Everyone in each pleasure-boat on the lake suddenly turned like headless flies, looking for a place to flee.
"Feng Qingbai, here, throw it over there!"
"And over there, three people are surrounding Wei Hong. Throw, throw!"
"Wei Zi is also in danger. Quick, go and support!"
The young lady hanging in his arms kept exclaiming, commanding him around, and looking very much like coordinating the whole scene of the battle. Feng Qingbai's mouth twitched. For some reason, he had the urge to laugh.
Most of the black-clad people surrounded him – well, five, but his Shengsheng wasn't nervous at all.
Was she so secure by his side?
For the first time in a critical fight, Feng Qingbai felt like laughing.
She could always give him unexpected joy in inexplicable occasions.
"Feng Qingbai, Wei Bai! Wei Bai is over there!"
"Shengsheng, you can't throw it over there. If you throw it, Wei Bai will fall into the water along with them," Feng Qingbai sighed helplessly.
"Oh," Liu Yusheng paused, "Feng Qingbai, how many of these assassins can you deal with alone?"
"Put my best foot forward, ten." Raising his hand to swat away the sharp blade stabbing in front of him and giving the assassin on his right a fatal blow, Feng Qingbai replied with ease.
"Wow! You are awesome!"
"…" Shengsheng, I don't mind you praising me to your heart's content after the fight is over.
"Then, how come it's taking you long to win when you're only dealing with five now?"
"…Shengsheng, I am carrying you in one hand now."
"…"
The three hidden guards surrounding Feng Qingbai and keeping their enemies at bay, heard their conversation and almost simultaneously crashed down.
Even the black-clad assassins lurched for a moment.
Fifteen people attacked, but because of his concern for the woman in his arms, the end of the fight got delayed a bit.
It finally ended with the black-clad men's corpses sunk in Xingyue Lake.
Justice court officials and soldiers arrived last. Feng Qingbai handed Wei Zi the aftermath to deal with, and took Liu Yusheng back to the small courtyard ahead of them.
On the way back, Feng Qingbai asked, "Are you scared, Shengsheng?"
"I'm not afraid. You're here, aren't you?" Liu Yusheng answered as a matter of course.
"What if I can't?"
"What? You can't what?"
Following behind the two, Wei Zi and Wei Hong looked at the sky and looked at the ground respectively, pretending that they weren't hearing anything.
Before long, they heard their master grit his teeth, "… I can!"
The conversation ended.
Feng Qingbai felt that he had underestimated his girl all along.
He always knew that she wasn't a doddering flower. He just didn't expect her to be so bold to this extent.
He was initially afraid that she got frightened by all the gloom and blood. But on second thought, it all felt funny.
Maybe it was time to change the guardianship he had always thought he possessed.
He and she could be together.
Bright and upright.
Back in the small courtyard study, Wei Hong marched step by step to Liu Yusheng and stood straight up.
"Nannan."
"Auntie Hong, long time no see. I thought you had disappeared." Liu Yusheng sat on the soft couch with one hand on her cheek, smiling.
Wei Hong squirmed. "Three twigs?"
"What?"
"Three twigs?"
"Then bring the twigs, hmm."
"…" Nannan, are you really going to hit me, huh? "Can you punish me for not eating for three days? Nannan, I am a little afraid of pain."
Liu Yusheng bowed to Wei Hong's serious negotiation stance. "Feng Qingbai, how did she become a hidden guard?"
How could this comedic person become a hidden guard?
Behind the desk, Feng Qingbai's eyes glowed dotinging, and he followed the flow of the lady good naturedly. "Except for her brains, she isn't bad at all, so she ranks tenth. The last one only has hands not brains."
Wei Hong's dignity received 10,000 critical strikes.
"She isn't that smart, yet you still sent her to my house as a bodyguard?"
"If she's too smart, you wouldn't have wanted her with your vigilance."
Wei Hong received another hundred blows to her body and mind.
The couple sang the same tune, and only when Wei Hong was bludgeoned to the point of no return, did they let her go.
Let Wei Hong recover from a crippled life.
Wei Hong made a decision this day. From now on, between Nannan and her master, she must always stand on Nannan's side.
Her master punished people with knives and pain, but Nannan punished people with the kind of mental injury that could drive one depressed for a long time. It was more horrible than physical pain.
Qian Wanjin and Da Huang came back at nightfall.
Qian Wanjin looked a little strange. He was holding his waist with one hand, and his pace was so slow as if walking was painstaking.
At that time, Liu Yusheng and Wei Hong were waiting in the living room for the two to come back for dinner.
Seeing this picture, Liu Yusheng frowned and greeted him. "Young Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Qian Wanjin waved his hand sluggishly and replied weakly. "Lucky Nannan, do you have any medicine for digestion there? Quickly bring some here. I've eaten too much today. Ouch, my gosh! I'm dying! Hurry up, hurry up. I'm so uncomfortable. Oh, dear! My stomach is bursting. Bursting, I feel like it's going pop!"
Liu Yusheng was dumbfounded, "Overate? What's going on? How much have you eaten!"
Da Huang almost bit the tip of his tongue. He could barely hold back the peal of laughter that was about to burst out of his mouth. He glanced at his own young master crouched on the table groaning and grunting, and whispered to Liu Yusheng, "Young Master ate twelve plates of meat dishes, two large bowls of rice, and finally tucked in a plate of snacks alone today!"
Liu Yusheng, Wei Hong, "…"
Even a pig couldn't eat this much in one meal!
Qian Wanjin ate even better than a pig! What the hell was going on?
She let Wei Hong and Da Huang eat first and gave Qian Wanjin a spoonful of digestive ointment. She thought for a moment and mixed a cup of spiritual water for him.
With just this, he sat for at least a spell before he could barely straighten up.
Then he shot her resentful glances ceaselessly.
He was akin to an aggrieved resentful woman.
Liu Yusheng could pretend she didn't see it the first time. But ten times or eight times, she really couldn't bear it.
This guy, was he telling her with his eyes that she upset him, so he turned his grief into appetite?
What did she do to him?
Liu Yusheng sighed, put down her half-eaten meal, got up, and sat down opposite Qian Wanjin.
"Tell me. What's wrong? Why did you get yourself into this state?" If she didn't ask, he might continue making a fuss.
Seeing that the young lady finally came over to care for him, Qian Wanjin's spirits lifted. However, he still maintained a resigned look.
"Lucky Nannan, since childhood, I've treated you well enough, right? I've always been on call and will bear hardship without complaint. I will go through fire and water if you need help! If anyone dares to bully you, I'll be the first to jump up and beat him!…"
"What is it you want to say?"
"That's to say, cough!" Qian Wanjin's eyes flickered for a moment, and then looked seriously at Liu Yusheng. "If I get bullied, will you help me?"
"Yes."
"Will you really help me? Justice above relations?"
"I'll help," Liu Yusheng felt helpless. "If someone bullies you, even if I don't help, my grandparents will also carry a pot, the ladle, and the hoe to avenge you, right?"
Qian Wanjin burst into laughter at the thought of the elder Lius and uncle. He sighed contentedly, "Of course, grandma treats me as a grandson!"
Liu Yusheng smiled deep inside. This guy was so easy to coax.
