Xie Ze's expression froze slightly.

He looked at the culprit in Zhong Shi's arms, who was still unconscious with his eyes closed.

She gently rubbed her forehead and sighed.

"It's alright, this isn't my blood. Uncle Zhong, there's no need to worry."

"Yes, young master."

Zhong Shi also realized something; the young master hadn't been injured before.

Therefore, this must be Miss Qiao's blood.

It seems the assassin injured Miss Qiao.

correct,

Does Young Master Gu Chaomu still need to be looked for?

"Young Master, what about Young Master Gu?"

Hearing Zhong Shi ask about Gu Chaomu, he felt inexplicably annoyed.

I just felt that the other person shouldn't need me to find them myself.

We'll be able to get back to camp soon.

Xie Ze waved his hand in acknowledgment:

"Don't worry about it, I believe he will come back on his own."

"Ok."

As Zhong Shi listened to the young master's words, he seemed to gradually pay less attention to Young Master Gu.

This is a good beginning.

Uncle Zhong glanced at the girl in his arms, feeling grateful to her.

It seems that it was this girl's appearance that caused it.

This diverted the young master's attention.

This is fine too.

At the very least, the young master won't be so obsessed with Young Master Gu anymore.

and,

The young master clearly said that he was going out to find Young Master Gu.

When he returned, he brought Miss Qiao with him.

What an incredible coincidence!

Zhong Shi was secretly delighted.

Xie Ze, who was about to leave, looked at Zhong Shi without making a move.

His old face was full of smiles.

Confused and dissatisfied, he said:

"What are you still grinning about? Take her back right now and don't let her show up in front of me again."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes."

Zhong Shi thought to himself:

He knew that the young master was just saying one thing and meaning another!

However, he wouldn't expose his young master.

He quickly picked up Miss Qiao and followed the young master out of the jungle.

"... "

At this time,

Su Xucai jumped down from the tree behind him.

Watching the disappearing figure, he stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

After reflecting on the matter, Su Xu couldn't help but feel curious about the young master of the Xie family.

Which Xie family is this?

For the sake of Qiao Qingfeng's daughter's future happiness, he had to find out more about this guy.

Think about it again, is that kid suitable?

The middle-aged man with a scar on his face shook his head at his own thoughts.

Let the younger generation deal with their own affairs.

His job is simply to protect Qiao Wanwan secretly.

...

The young man, having left the sunlight, had already returned to his carriage.

He frowned slightly as he looked at the ointment in his hand.

I've been smelling that woman's unique fragrance ever since.

Even if she leaves,

The scent lingered around him from where the woman had just stood.

He was very puzzled.

But looking at the ointment in his hand, packaged in an exquisite tin box...

It seems I've figured something out.

The smell was coming from inside the box.

This ointment has the same unique fragrance as Qiao Wanwan's.

It has a faint, delicate fragrance, like the scent of flowers, but it's not quite that.

I can't quite describe what it tastes like.

It lingers around the tip of the nose and smells very pleasant.

"... "

Xie Ze stretched out his slender fingers and gently opened the exquisite box.

The ointment appeared before his eyes.

It wasn't the usual white color, but rather a pinkish, paste-like medicine.

He raised his hand and brought his nose closer.

This is the taste.

He had smelled this scent on Qiao Wanwan when he unintentionally got close to her before.

Perhaps the other person used this ointment and it has a fragrance?

Xie Ze had been studying medicine for many years, but he still couldn't identify what this faintly fragrant medicinal ingredient was.

It also contains many medications for treating wounds.

Qiao Wanwan did not lie to him about this.

It will indeed be beneficial to the wound.

but,

What exactly is this fragrance?

If what Qiao Wanwan said is true...

This medicine can quickly heal wounds.

That little bit of medicine he knew was useless.

Therefore,

What exactly is the most important ingredient in this medicine?

He couldn't be sure.

Would Qiao Wanwan, who was threatened by him, really not lie to him?

Could there be some kind of poison in it that I've never seen before?

He wasn't afraid of the poison, he just couldn't let her succeed.

It was he who was able to uncover some problems.

That would prove whether she was lying to herself or not.

Sincerity and deception

In his eyes, it was equivalent to the other person's survival or death.

So he had to figure out exactly what the prescription was.

The man's eyes darkened slightly.

He thought of it,

There's someone who can help him take a look.

It was Zhong Shi, whom his father had arranged to be by his side.

He spent more than a decade with his father.

He has been learning about medicine for much longer than a junior like him.

They must have seen a lot of the world.

Perhaps he will be able to understand.

What exactly is on this bottle of ointment that he doesn't recognize?

The man slightly raised his eyes, then opened the curtains and spoke to the guards outside:

"Have Steward Zhong come to my carriage."

"Yes, Master."

...

Zhong Shi, who had just returned from running errands, immediately received news.

"Butler Zhong, the young master's carriage is waiting for you."

"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I can go by myself."

"Ok."

Zhong Shi was also slightly puzzled.

Why did the young master send someone to find him this time?

The young master usually keeps to himself.

He could usually sense that the young master still distrusted him a great deal.

Zhong Shi could also understand the young master's feelings.

He was originally born into the Xie family and was a senior who watched the young master grow up.

Similarly,

He was the butler who watched as the young master was tormented by the family and turned into someone who was no longer human.

Zhong Shi is a normal person.

Watching the young master being repeatedly injured and wounded by the head of the family.

Of course, I would feel sorry for them.

Unfortunately, the head of the Xie family is a poison master who enjoys torturing people.

Even his wife, who was also the young master's mother.

She is a rare and stunning beauty.

They were all by the side of the Xie family patriarch, and could not escape their fate.

However, the young master was born merely to fulfill his mother's unfinished mission.

The young master was born into this family, which destined him to a life of suffering.

They could only survive in the shadow of the head of the household.

However, it wasn't until the young master turned fifteen that things changed.

I learned to resist once.

Dragging his legs, which had been crippled by the family head's torture, he fled the Xie family.

On the way, they encountered danger.

Knowing that the young master was a member of the Poison King's family, they became even more ruthless towards him.

They wanted to eliminate the young master completely.

Fortunately, he was later rescued by the chivalrous young master Gu, who saw injustice and drew his sword to help.

After that,

That's why the Xie family head had the idea of ​​placing Zhong Shi by the young master's side.

Firstly, it was to better monitor the young master.

Secondly, it was for conveying a message.

They can also treat the young master's illness and "deliver medicine".

Therefore,

Zhong Shi felt that it was understandable that the young master would be bothered by him, the person monitoring him.

Therefore, most of the time...

Zhong Shi always stayed by the young master's side and took the initiative to do everything the young master wanted to do.

The young master rarely sent anyone to look for him.

However, this is a good start.

This shows that the young master needs him very much right now.

Then he wouldn't be someone who has no use for his talents.
