The assassins outside were actually sent by Bai Yu Feng.
What he did today was to probe Gu Qian Ying's strength.
But judging by today, he felt he might have been overthinking. That first meeting was likely a coincidence.
As it stands now.
She was a nobody, not worth mentioning.
Of course, if Gu Qian Ying was acting, Bai Yu Feng would admire her even more.
To be able to act so powerfully in front of him, she was indeed superior to others.
But it was a pity.
This woman was full of flaws.
The assassins, bruised and swollen, stood before Bai Yu Feng, their heads bowed, not daring to look at him.
"Apologies, Young Master, we were too hasty just now."
Bai Yu Feng's expression was sinister, and he shot them a cold glance. "Your courage today is quite remarkable. Have you forgotten my previous instructions? This person cannot die."
He narrowed his sharp eyes and spoke coldly.
"You should be grateful to the person inside. If she hadn't survived, you would be dead."
Every word Bai Yu Feng spoke was like a death warrant for them.
The assassins lost all their previous arrogance, now trembling like sieves, cold sweat pouring down like a waterfall, soaking their clothes.
This was the eldest young master of the Sheng Yu family. Many had fallen into his hands and left no bones behind.
In their current state.
They were surely doomed.
But who would have thought that Bai Yu Feng had no intention of killing them today? He merely looked at them with shadowed eyes and said indifferently.
"Do not appear here for the next few days. Get lost. Oh, and go find me some wound-healing ointment. Do you hear me?"
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, their stiff bodies slowly relaxing.
They swallowed and hurried out.
After obtaining the wound-healing ointment, Bai Yu Feng returned to the carriage.
Gu Qian Ying, pale with pain, her delicate face etched with a hint of bitterness. The deliberately darkened complexion, along with several scars.
Bai Yu Feng's large hand reached out and wiped away the black powder from Gu Qian Ying's face.
He glanced at his palm with disdain.
"What is this?"
Gu Qian Ying's eyes flickered as she quickly lowered her head. "Everyone calls me a pretty boy. I did this deliberately, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come."
When Gu Qian Ying entered the family.
Those people disliked her small stature and fair complexion.
Although she was a man.
She possessed a captivating charm, and they dared not include her.
Later, Gu Qian Ying smeared black powder on her face and even lifted a stone weighing tens of pounds, only then did the steward reluctantly agree.
Bai Yu Feng suddenly chuckled.
His gaze, like a pool of clear water, focused intently on Gu Qian Ying.
Feeling Bai Yu Feng's burning gaze and recalling the ambiguous moment between them earlier, Gu Qian Ying's body stiffened again.
She looked at Bai Yu Feng irritably.
"What do you want now?"
After saying this, Gu Qian Ying abruptly closed her eyes. No matter what, she couldn't be teased by Bai Yu Feng again today; it was too embarrassing.
Bai Yu Feng's eyes widened slightly. He directly threw the wound-healing ointment he had prepared into Gu Qian Ying's hand.
Gu Qian Ying felt the weight in her palm.
She felt it carefully.
It seemed to be a ceramic bottle, and it carried a medicinal fragrance.
She quickly opened her eyes.
Suddenly, she saw a bottle of medicine in her hand.
She was momentarily stunned, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, a shadow appearing beneath her eyes.
"You want to apply medicine to me."
Bai Yu Feng said impatiently, "Why are you so stupid? When those assassins came, didn't you know to dodge?"
"You just watched those blades head towards your chest. Do you really want to die?"
He continued, with a hint of disappointment.
"I've never met anyone as foolish as you."
Gu Qian Ying was furious, feeling her blood surge, on the verge of spitting out a mouthful of blood.
How dare he call her stupid?
In this world, only Bai Yu Feng could utter such nonsense.
But just as she was about to retort.
She suddenly saw Bai Yu Feng, his expression serious, clumsily tearing the gauze and medicine in his hand, and carefully bandaging Gu Qian Ying's wound.
Gu Qian Ying, who had been about to retort, withdrew her words.
She shifted uncomfortably. "Why are you applying medicine to me?"
Bai Yu Feng gave a casual excuse.
"With your condition, can you apply medicine yourself?"
If it were the Gu Qian Ying of the past, with such a minor wound, she could have used spiritual energy to repair her meridians and healed quickly.
But in her current disguise, it was indeed impossible.
She resignedly nodded, thanking Bai Yu Feng with reluctance.
"Young Master, you are truly a good person."
Bai Yu Feng's movements paused. He narrowed his dangerous phoenix eyes, scrutinizing Gu Qian Ying. "You think I'm a good person? Are you unwell today?"
Gu Qian Ying gritted her teeth.
Angrily, she turned her head away. Such a foul-mouthed person! She shouldn't have been moved just now; it was truly infuriating.
Where Gu Qian Ying couldn't see, Bai Yu Feng let out a laugh upon seeing her pouting expression.
He liked it very much!
The carriage bumped along and soon arrived outside the family estate.
The estate was as solemn as ever. The guards standing outside were expressionless, holding swords, oblivious to everything.
Seeing Bai Yu Feng's carriage approach.
They quickly ran forward.
"Young Master."
Bai Yu Feng glanced at them indifferently. "Is something the matter?"
Their expressions were somewhat troubled, as if they had encountered a difficult situation. They spoke in low voices.
"The Second Miss has arrived, and she came in a hurry, specifically to find you. I fear something might happen again."
A flicker of displeasure crossed Bai Yu Feng's eyes.
"Don't let her come. Every time she comes, she just causes trouble."
The guards looked distressed, their hands holding swords trembling. Caught in the middle, they didn't know what to do.
They were about to say more.
But as they looked up, they met Bai Yu Feng's impatient gaze.
They immediately stopped speaking.
"Apologies, Young Master, we will attend to it immediately!"
After dealing with them, Bai Yu Feng lifted the carriage curtain.
Gu Qian Ying inside had difficulty moving. Her knees had been injured when she fell, so Bai Yu Feng had already alighted from the carriage.
Her people were still inside, maneuvering.
Bai Yu Feng, growing impatient, narrowed his eyes coldly and directly extended his long arm, pulling Gu Qian Ying into his embrace.
"Were you planning to stay in the carriage until I personally came to carry you out?"
Gu Qian Ying almost screamed.
"What are you doing? Let go of me."
Bai Yu Feng's eyes were indifferent, uncaring. "Why? I am helping you. Don't you understand gratitude?"
