Chapter 106: She Gave Too Much

Xu Xi’s voice was calm, narrating the established facts, but it was precisely these words that made the injured girl on the bed difficult to accept.

“I…”

“What on earth…”

Wu Yingxue’s eyes were filled with confusion.

From a high and mighty princess to a fugitive.

The sudden change in status and the abrupt turn of fate left her at a loss, even forgetting about her own injuries.

“This can’t be right, I was the one who was attacked, yet I’m the one being wanted…”

“This doesn’t make sense, it really doesn’t.”

Her robe still emitted a faint smell of blood, Wu Yingxue muttered to herself, her right hand covering her head, her brows furrowed, showing an expression of disbelief.

A martial artist’s eyes should be bright and firm.

But now, the girl only had empty confusion and faint tremors of fear.

“The officials are looking for you, which means your attackers are from the Great Qian court,” Xu Xi said the remaining words, “Perhaps they are targeting you alone, but more likely, they are targeting the one behind you.”

Wu Yingxue had a background.

Her father.

The Prince Dingyuan of Great Qian.

Xu Xi had heard of that man’s name, a Third Stage of Innate Realm divine seer, with clear divine acupoints in his body, just half a step away from the Human Immortal Realm.

If something happened to Prince Dingyuan, then the girl’s attack would make sense.

After all, being a direct descendant, it’s hard to escape the connection.

“I…”

Her eyes dim, her lips slightly parted, Wu Yingxue couldn’t speak a complete sentence for a long time, until she fell completely silent.

The news of becoming a fugitive was too bizarre.

It implied many extremely bad possibilities.

The most terrifying among them was that the Great Qian Emperor could no longer tolerate Prince Dingyuan and began to purge everyone in the prince’s mansion.

Just thinking about one or two of these, the girl couldn’t accept the huge impact, sitting on the bed with her head down, looking at her hands in confusion.

Looking at her pale nails.

Looking at the lines on her palms.

In her confusion, she was lost in thought.

“After all, she’s just a young tree that hasn’t experienced wind and rain,” Xu Xi sighed lightly in his heart.

The girl seemed carefree and decisive, acting seriously and cautiously, and when she first woke up, she was still wary of Xu Xi, everything seemed so mature and steady.

But in reality, a girl of only sixteen years old, how mature could she be.

Some people are born precocious.

At a very young age, they are more confident than others, better at communicating than others.

This is an illusion, a bland life experience, shallow past experiences, didn’t give the girl any capacity to accept sudden accidents.

Thus.

The girl closed herself off.

Very fragile? Xu Xi didn’t think so.

What happened to the girl was indeed too shocking and bizarre, even Xu Xi was startled.

…

“The books in Qingniu Town, although some are inaccurate, most can be trusted.”

“According to the records in the books, the royal bloodline of the Great Qian court practices unified martial arts techniques, and upon entering the Innate Realm, they possess the royal family’s unique Azure Dragon Gang Qi.”

“That’s why the nobility and aristocracy revere the dragon patterns.”

“Almost certain.”

“This child is indeed from a noble family.”

Walking out of the inner room, leaving Wu Yingxue alone in her space.

Xu Xi held the long spear leaning against the door, exerting a little force, the heavy spear was lifted by him, shining brightly in the sunlight.

That ray of light, like a gentle touch.

Penetrating the silent spear body.

Projecting a hazy dragon pattern shadow on the surface of the floor tiles.

This exquisite craftsmanship, and the royal dragon pattern, were enough to prove the girl’s identity.

Xu Xi shook his head, he couldn’t imagine what had happened to cause Prince Dingyuan to be in trouble, leading to the girl being ambushed and attacked.

“Is that child really okay?”

Xu Xi pondered.

At this moment, the sound of the wooden door opening came from behind, Wu Yingxue, her armor stained with blood, walked out of the room.

The 16-year-old girl had a strong character, after a brief moment of confusion, she regained her fighting spirit.

Deciding to return to the capital to find out the truth after recovering from her injuries.

Before that—

“Can I stay here?”

Wu Yingxue’s eyes revealed determination, earnestly requesting Xu Xi: “I need time to recover, please rest assured, I will pay for it.”

Xu Xi was about to refuse.

Two bottles of pills were forcibly stuffed into his hand.

They were Qi and Blood Earth Pills that only Innate Martial Artists were qualified to access.

…

[Simulation Year Seven, you are 22 years old]

[Seven years of time have made your strength improve by leaps and bounds, in Qingniu Town where martial artists are scarce, you are the enviable young genius]

[Merchants flatter you, thugs respect you, you are known as the Qingniu Blade Hero]

[Qingniu Town is your location, the blade is your weapon of choice]

[Every year in spring and winter, you fearlessly charge at the forefront of the Demon Tide, using battle to nourish battle, honing yourself with the impact of numerous demons and monsters, but in the eyes of others, this is your selfless act of protecting everyone]

[The entire town is endlessly grateful]

[In the same year, you accidentally picked up a girl, she claimed to be the legitimate daughter of Prince Dingyuan, a Blood Replacement Realm martial artist at only 16 years old, with top-notch talent and comprehension]

[You had no intention of getting involved, but the girl gave too much]

[You went out]

[You confirmed the intensity of the officials’ search]

[You found that the Great Qian court didn’t pay much attention to Qingniu Town, the so-called search was just verbal inquiries, you accepted Wu Yingxue’s pills and allowed her to stay at your home to recover]

[Most of the time, the girl would sit alone in the room, silently thinking about the future]

[Occasionally, she would support her slightly painful body, struggling to walk to the hall, watching you practice your punches day after day]

[Your never-changing, never-stopping training]

[Deeply shocked the girl’s young heart]

[She had never seen anyone like you, who could persist in ordinary punches every day, she doubted, thinking you must be crazy to do such a thing]

Fingers clenched into a fist.

Gathering strength to punch forward.

At the moment of the punch, a crisp sound rang out.

It was the wind from the powerful punch, hitting the falling leaves squarely, the intent following the punch, the fist striking the tall bluestone.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

The stone first shook violently, then quickly turned into a tremor.

Fast, then slow.

Tense, then relaxed.

“Hoo—”, Xu Xi stood in place, slowly retracting his punching stance, hot air exhaled with his breath, the spirit in his eyes sharp and imposing.

“Finally, with the help of the Qi and Blood Earth Pills, I successfully completed Marrow Transformation and Blood Replacement.”

Xu Xi’s expression was relaxed.

But at this moment, the girl walked out from the side room.

She frowned, seemingly displeased with Xu Xi’s training method: “Xu, your way of training is useless, I have a family heirloom…”

The girl spoke, wanting to pass on a secret martial technique from the prince’s mansion, to repay Xu Xi’s sheltering kindness.

However.

Just as Wu Yingxue’s hand instinctively touched the rough surface of the bluestone.

“…”

The huge boulder turned into powder, blown away by the light wind.

“?”
