Mu Qingcheng returned covered in wounds, leaning on a thick wooden stick as she limped behind Huang Niu. Her purple, blue, and white flight suit was stained with an unknown juice, and her already matted hair looked more like a bird's nest filled with leaves.

Four words to describe her: miserable.

When I finally saw the pool of water, I saw a person lying on a rock in the distance.

"No way! Another one?"

Mu Qingcheng looked at her feet and felt that she needed help more than just saving others out of kindness.

When she got closer, she realized something was wrong. The man lying on the rock was shirtless, but she still recognized his clothes.

"Oh! It's Yun Qing."

Mu Qingcheng ignored the pain in her foot, put one foot on the ground, and used a wooden crutch to support herself as she quickly jumped to Yun Qing's side.

Mu Qingcheng leaned her cane against the stone and used both hands to help Yun Qing up. She checked his breathing and found it was quite even.

"Yunqing, Yunqing, what happened to you? Why did you faint?"

She shouted for a long time before she remembered that he couldn't hear her. Helplessly, she put him back on the rock, took out a face towel from her pocket, jumped to the edge of the pool to wet the face towel, then jumped back and squeezed the water directly onto Yun Qing's face.

This method was very effective, and Yun Qing woke up soon. However, he looked very weak and didn't even have the strength to sit up. One hand was pressed on his chest as if he had been seriously injured.

"Yunqing, what's wrong with you? You were fine this morning, right? Why are you like this now? Is it that poison called Zuimeng that's taking effect again?"

Mu Qingcheng felt that the poison must have taken effect again, and she hurriedly searched for medicine in her pocket.

"What can we do? What can we do?"

"Which medicine works?"

Looking at the blurry figure before her, her anxious tone was choked with sobs. Yun Qing's heart was actually warmed. No one in the world except his master had ever cared about him like this. He suddenly felt reluctant to see her worrying about him so much.

Yun Qing stretched out his hand towards the shadow, and a petite hand quickly grabbed his hand.

"Don't be afraid, Yunqing. I have medicine. Didn't you say my medicine is very effective?"

Yun Qing grabbed her hand and wrote on her palm: "I'm fine, no need to take medicine."

Mu Qingcheng was half-believing and half-doubting. How could he be fine despite being so badly injured? There was even blood at the corner of his mouth!

"Don't lie to me, are you really okay?"

Yun Qing's lips curved into a beautiful arc and he nodded, "I'm fine." He couldn't make a sound yet, so he mouthed three words to her.

Mu Qingcheng stood there in a daze, her mouth wide open in surprise, and it took her a long time to think of speaking.

"You...you...you can hear me?"

Yun Qing smiled. It was the first time Mu Qingcheng had seen him smile. When he smiled, the coldness and indifference on his face melted away, and his eyes, which had been as dead as ashes, began to ripple with tenderness.

Mu Qingcheng was infatuated with him again. His smile was truly beautiful, like a spring flower, blowing away all the sorrows and worries...

The beauty in front of her made her forget to think, and it seemed that she had forgotten something important.

Yun Qing rested on the stone for a moment, exploring his meridians. It was much better than he'd expected. Although he'd only forced out a small amount of drunken dreaming, his body felt much lighter, proving the method was working. He stretched his limbs, and his previously uncontrollable hands and feet regained their flexibility, allowing them to move freely without needing to draw on his internal energy.

He sat up with the help of a stone, and then he realized with embarrassment that he was still shirtless! In an instant, his cheeks flushed red, and he hurriedly turned his back to put on his clothes.

Mu Qingcheng also realized that she was actually looking at a shirtless man. In fact, he was the first to break the rules, and she didn't hesitate to blame Yun Qing.

It was quite embarrassing to stand here and watch him get dressed. I wanted to find a place to hide, but as soon as I turned around, I heard a scream!

"Oh my god! It hurts so much."

She had forgotten about the injury to her left foot, and now she was sure her foot was swollen.

Her scream startled Yun Qing, and when he turned around, he couldn't even see the vague figure. He looked around anxiously, but still saw nothing.

Mu Qingcheng didn't dare walk on her left foot anymore. She used her right foot to slowly move to the water's edge, sat on a rock, and took off her shoes and socks. Sure enough, her left ankle was already red and swollen. Cold water can reduce swelling, so she dipped her socks in water and applied it to the red and swollen instep.

Yun Qing had already put on her clothes. He jumped off the stone and walked towards the river. He could hear her breathing. He followed the sound and squatted down beside her.

"What's wrong?" he asked anxiously, still unable to make any sound and only using his lips to ask.

Mu Qingcheng felt so wronged that she wanted to cry when someone cared about her. She sobbed and said, "I sprained my ankle, and it's all swollen now. Woo woo... Woo! It hurts so much!"

"Which foot?"

Mu Qingcheng took his hand and placed it on her left ankle. Yun Qing held her left foot in his hand. It turned out that her foot was so small and plump. His ears began to redden. Soon he felt the swelling and rubbed her ankle with his hand.

Mu Qingcheng was already screaming in pain.

"It hurts, it hurts, please let go." The harder she struggled, the more painful it became.

Yun Qing's brows were furrowed, and the strength in his hands increased instead of decreasing. He had checked her bones and found that they were fine, just a sprained tendon. If he didn't rub it hard, she wouldn't be able to walk tomorrow.

But Mu Qingcheng had never suffered such pain before, and she was in so much pain that tears were coming out.

Yun Qing held her shoulders, signaling her not to move, and suddenly extended two fingers to point at her chest. Mu Qingcheng felt a pain in her chest, and then her body suddenly felt sore and numb. She wanted to reach out and touch her chest, but her hands were unable to move. Except for her head, she couldn't move anything else on her body. Her feet, which had been in unbearable pain, felt sore and numb.

What was going on? Why couldn't she move? Thinking of the way Yun Qing had just tapped her chest, it felt like something from a martial arts movie she watched as a child. Could this be the art of acupressure?

"How amazing! Is there really such a thing as acupressure? Yunqing, you can do it."

Yun Qing continued massaging and just nodded at her.

"Wow! You must be a great hero! Were you the best martial artist in the world?"

Yun Qing's eyes began to twitch again. This girl started talking nonsense again. Even his master didn't dare to say that he was the best in the world. If he dared to say so, this girl would be so arrogant that she would say it all day long.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Mu Qingcheng tried to save face: "Even if you're not the best in the world, you're still a famous hero, right? Do you have a reputation in the martial arts world?"

Yun Qing was speechless. When did he ever say he was a man of the world?

Mu Qingcheng saw that Yun Qing pretended not to hear again, and it seemed that he didn't want to answer this question.

Wait! She finally remembered that she had been so bewildered by the beauty that she had forgotten something important.

"Yunqing, can you hear me?"

Yun Qing secretly rolled his eyes, thinking that she had forgotten about it. But he still nodded calmly.

Mu Qingcheng was not calm. When could he hear it? She said so much this morning—her heartfelt words, he couldn't have heard them all! If that was the case, God, you'd better let her ascend right where she is!

Mu Qingcheng observed his face carefully. His expression was normal. If he had heard her say so many incredible things in the morning, would he still be so calm? No, no, he must have just recovered.

"When did you regain your hearing?" she asked cautiously.

Yun Qing glanced in her direction, then immediately lowered his eyes to hide his guilty conscience.

"Just now," he mouthed to her.

This was the first time Yun Qing lied in his life, and he lied to a girl. He felt guilty and secretly swore in his heart that he would never let her down in the future and would protect her for the rest of her life.

Mu Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just right. Otherwise, she would have run away!
