Pushing the door open, she saw Li Xiangyi struggling to sit up.

Qiao Wanwan quickly stepped forward to support him and said softly, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Li Xiangyi shook his head and said weakly, "It's okay, I'm just a little thirsty."

Only then did Qiao Wanwan remember that she had forgotten to prepare water for him.

She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'll go get you some water."

She quickly walked to the table, poured a cup of spiritual spring water from the space, and carefully placed it in front of Li Xiangyi.

Helping him drink it slowly, Qiao Wanwan's eyes were full of concern.

"Thank you." Li Xiangyi finished drinking the water and looked at Qiao Wanwan gratefully.

Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "You're welcome. How are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"

Li Xiangyi nodded: "Much better, thanks to your care."

Qiao Wanwan sat beside the bed and said softly, "Rest well first. I'll prepare some food for you. When you recover some strength, we can talk slowly, okay?"

Li Xiangyi hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement. Qiao Wanwan stood up and prepared to leave, but Li Xiangyi grabbed her hand again.

"Miss Qiao," Li Xiangyi's eyes flashed with a complex emotion, "Thank you for saving me. I owe you my life."

Qiao Wanwan smiled gently and patted his hand lightly:

"Don't say that. We are all martial artists, and we should help each other. Have a good rest, and call me if you need anything."

After saying this, she gently closed the door and walked towards the kitchen. As the night deepened, moonlight shone on the bamboo forest, adding a touch of tranquility to this restless night.

Moonlight flowed quietly through the quaint courtyard. Qiao Wanwan stood at the edge of the bamboo forest, gazing silently at the distant horizon. The night breeze blew gently, bringing bursts of coolness, but it couldn't soothe the turmoil in her heart.

She took a deep breath and whispered, "System, I've made up my mind. I want to redeem the Ming Yu Gong."

The system's cute voice rang in her mind: "Okay host, confirm the redemption of the Mingyu Gong, deduct 100 points."

Following a gentle humming sound, Qiao Wanwan felt a gentle energy surge into her sea of ​​consciousness. She closed her eyes and carefully felt the mystery of this technique.

"You get what you pay for." Qiao Wanwan sighed secretly, "This Mingyu Gong is indeed extraordinary. No wonder it requires 100 points."

She carefully stored the technique in her space, intending to study it in detail when it was safe. Right now, there were more pressing matters to attend to.

Qiao Wanwan turned and walked towards the kitchen, thinking as she walked: "I have to prepare some light porridge for Li Xiangyi first. He's seriously injured, and he can only drink liquid food for the next few days."

She washed the rice and cooked the porridge with ease, adding some stomach-nourishing herbs. The aroma of the porridge gradually spread, with a faint herbal fragrance.

"Xiao Cui!" Qiao Wanwan called over the maid, "Go to the street and buy some new clothes for the young man. They should be light and well-fitting, and made of top-quality fabric."

Xiao Cui left immediately, while Qiao Wanwan carried the steaming porridge and tiptoed towards Li Xiangyi's room.

When she opened the door, she found Li Xiangyi already asleep. Moonlight shone through the window lattice onto his face, outlining a delicate and handsome figure.

Qiao Wanwan put down her bowl of porridge and sat down gently on the edge of the bed. This gave her a chance to observe the young man carefully.

Although Li Xiangyi is still a bit immature now, one can already vaguely glimpse the shadow of his future unparalleled elegance.

The high nose bridge, picturesque eyebrows, and thin and stylish lips all highlight the extraordinary future of this young man.

"What a pity." Qiao Wanwan sighed softly, "Such a handsome person will be tormented by the poison of green tea for the next ten years."

A determination flashed in her eyes. "No, I have to find a way to prevent this from happening. But it's still early, and those people haven't shown up yet. I have plenty of time to plan."

At this moment, Li Xiangyi moved slightly, as if he was about to wake up.

Qiao Wanwan quickly stood up, adjusted her sitting position, and pretended to have just come in.

Li Xiangyi slowly opened his eyes, and what came into his sight was Qiao Wanwan's gentle smile.

"Mr. Li, you're awake."

Qiao Wanwan said gently, carefully helping him sit up and letting him lean against the head of the bed.

"Do you feel better?"

Li Xiangyi's gaze fell on Qiao Wanwan, his affectionate eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Miss Qiao. I feel much better."

Qiao Wanwan smiled and turned around to bring a bowl of porridge. "Mr. Li, you're seriously injured. You can only drink porridge these days. I specially made some stomach-nourishing medicinal porridge. Try it."

Li Xiangyi took the bowl of porridge and took a sip, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "It tastes very good, thank you Miss Qiao for your trouble."

"You're welcome." Qiao Wanwan said softly, "Just take good care of yourself and let me know if you need anything."

Li Xiangyi finished his porridge and handed the bowl back to Qiao Wanwan.

He glanced around the room and asked in confusion, "Miss Qiao, where are we now?"

Qiao Wanwan explained, "This is a place to stay outside my family's farm. Don't worry, it's safe here, no one will come to disturb us."

Li Xiangyi nodded, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes:

"Miss Qiao, I really don't know how to thank you. Not only did you save my life, but you also took such good care of me. I, Li Xiangyi, will never forget this."

Qiao Wanwan smiled and patted his hand gently:

"Mr. Li, there's no need to be like this. We are all martial artists, and it's our duty to help each other. Just focus on recovering from your injuries, and don't worry about anything else."

Li Xiangyi was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Miss Qiao, why did you save me? We don't even know each other, but you helped me so much. It really makes me..."

Qiao Wanwan interrupted him: "Mr. Li, some things don't need a reason. I saved you simply because I thought it was right. That's all."

Li Xiangyi was stunned for a moment, then revealed a sincere smile: "Miss Qiao is indeed a chivalrous person. I, Li Xiangyi, am truly fortunate to meet you today."

Qiao Wanwan smiled but said nothing.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside. Xiao Cui pushed the door open and walked in, holding several new sets of clothes.

"Miss, I have bought the clothes." Xiao Cui said softly.

Qiao Wanwan nodded: "Okay, put it there."

She turned to Li Xiangyi and explained, "Mr. Li, I asked someone to buy some new clothes. You can change into them when your injury is better. Your current clothes..."

Her eyes swept over Li Xiangyi's torn clothes and sighed softly: "It's really torn quite badly."

Li Xiangyi looked down at his clothes and smiled awkwardly: "Thank you Miss Qiao for your thoughtfulness. But I don't know how to repay you for this."

Qiao Wanwan waved her hand. "Mr. Li, there's no need for this. There's no need for these polite words between you and me. Just focus on recovering from your injuries. We can discuss other matters later."

Li Xiangyi nodded, a touch of emotion flashing in his eyes.
