Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 628 The Darkened Sword Maniac of the Martial World vs. the Cunning Enchantress (14)

Shi Zhengchun and the others noticed that Xie Xinghe didn't like to talk to people, so they stopped trying to talk to him and even lowered their voices.

The group sat down and hurriedly started a fire to bandage their companion's wounds.

Many people were injured by the thugs at the black market. If it weren't for Xie Xinghe and that girl surnamed Shen, they probably wouldn't have been able to get out of the black market.

Su Qingyao shivered from the cold rain; her clothes were soaked through, and she was wearing Shi Zhengchun's outer robe.

She still had a strip of cloth wrapped around her neck; if the poison powder had been scattered any later, she might have had her head chopped off by the thugs.

"Qingyao, come sit in the front and warm yourself by the fire." Shi Zhengchun took good care of her.

Shi Zhengchun falls in love with every beautiful woman he sees, but on the surface he treats them with utmost care. They are also quite handsome and are the young master of the Heavenly Blade Sect, so it is easy for them to fall for his gentleness.

"Shi Lang, you're injured too. You need to heal properly. I'm fine."

Even though she said that, her eyes reddened.

"Shi Lang, that Miss Shen...did she lie to you before? Why is her martial arts so high, yet she pretended to be kidnapped by thugs in front of you?"

"I'm not saying anything bad about Miss Shen, I just want to resolve any misunderstandings you may have as soon as possible."

Shi Zhengchun comforted her, "Shu'er is just a little mischievous. She's not a bad person. There must be some misunderstanding."

This was not what Su Qingyao wanted to hear. She hoped that Shi Zhengchun could discover Shen Shu's hypocrisy from his words and sever all ties with this scheming vixen.

However, Shi Zhengchun did not think that way, which disappointed Su Qingyao.

She collected her thoughts, looked up, and smiled, saying, "She must be jealous because I'm getting too close to you. She must mind a lot. Maybe I should go back to Medicine King Valley."

"Shi Lang, you're so kind; I don't want to put you in a difficult position."

Shi Zhengchun was fond of Su Qingyao's gentleness and obedience, which made him feel like a real man who would inherit a great sect in the future!

"Qingyao, don't overthink it, that's just her personality."

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the motionless carriage inside; Shu'er should be inside.

Su Qingyao subconsciously grasped his hand. "With her arrogant personality, it might not be a good thing for her to roam the martial world. I hope she can find a man who truly loves her, just like I have. That way, a man can keep her in check."

"I see that Young Master Xie and she have a very close relationship."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shi Zhengchun frowned. "We're all people of the martial world, there's nothing wrong with traveling together."

Even so, Shi Zhengchun looked at Xie Xinghe with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

When exactly did they start traveling together?
The fellow disciples of the Heavenly Blade Sect heard the whole story. They used to think that Su Qingyao was a direct disciple of the Medicine King Valley, and that she was beautiful, gentle, and very good.

However, after her shop was attacked and she was taken hostage, her subsequent actions left people speechless.

If you have the ability to use poison powder to save yourself, why didn't you do it sooner? Why make others lose their weapons?

In her eyes, someone like Miss Shen who refuses to give up her weapon is disregarding human life and death, which is utterly unreasonable.

Never mind, the young sect leader loves it, so they have no objections.

But next time, they won't drop their swords.

Shen Shuyi got out of the carriage and went straight to Xie Xinghe to sit down. "Why hasn't the rain stopped yet?"

"I'm a little hungry." She didn't even glance at the others.

Xie Xinghe took out a pancake from a package and heated it over the fire. "Wait a moment."

He slightly raised his chin. "There are also a few red tangerines."

Shen Shuyi took out two red oranges, peeled them, and asked, "Are they sour?"

Xie Xinghe didn't respond; he was still as quiet as ever.

Shen Shuyi had already figured out his personality, so she started eating on her own. Despite the red peel, the orange tasted sweet and sour, and she frowned slightly.

She ate only half of it, then handed the other half to Xie Xinghe, saying, "Here, don't waste it."

"It's sweet."

Xie Xinghe froze. He felt several gazes directed at him, one of which was particularly anxious.

He slightly raised his eyes and met Shi Zhengchun's tightly furrowed brows.

For some reason, he reached out and took the oranges that Shen Shuyi had left, then ate them all in one bite.

It's very sour.

She really loves to lie. She's clearly the demoness Shen Shuyi from the Demonic Sect, but she lies and calls people Shen Shu, or Miss Shen.

Xie Xinghe didn't meddle and told Shi Zhengchun and the others about Shen Shuyi's true identity.

The heavy rain gradually subsided, but it continued to drizzle, and they would probably have to stay in this cave for quite some time.

Inside the cave, the two groups of people were clearly separated, and neither of them provoked the other at first.

It was Shi Zhengchun's gaze that kept drifting over, which left Shen Shuyi speechless.

The original owner had no grudge against Shi Zhengchun, nor did she love him. But now it seems that Shi Zhengchun obviously doesn't want to let go of such a stunning beauty, and even thinks that the beauty is deeply in love with him and is competing with Su Qingyao for his affections.

Seeing that Shi Zhengchun was distracted, Su Qingyao bit her lip, raised her hand to cover her chest, and leaned into Shi Zhengchun's arms in a weak and pitiful manner.

"Shi Lang, I feel a little dizzy. I wonder if my cold has flared up again."

When the other disciples saw this, they instinctively turned away as if they hadn't seen anything.

Shi Zhengchun quickly pulled her into his arms. "Qingyao, didn't you say you were going back to Medicine King Valley to see the Valley Master for treatment of your cold ailment? Why aren't you better yet?"

"Master, she did heal me, but... but I still need one more course of treatment. I rushed out to find you thinking I was cured, but I didn't expect to be so frightened at the shady shop and have it flare up again."

Shi Zhengchun looked at the beautiful woman in the red dress across from him, who was warming herself by the fire and eating fragrant pancakes, and he suddenly remembered something.

That means Shu'er also knows medicine. Shu'er once told him that she came from a Miao medicine family and had even treated his injuries with great success.

He quickly raised his voice.

"Shu'er, don't you know medicine? Come and take a look at Qingyao."

Shen Shuyi seemed not to hear. She went into the carriage, took out a small jar of wine, poured herself a glass, and asked the man beside her, "Young Master Xie, would you like a drink?"

"Peach blossoms and plum blossoms in the spring breeze, a cup of wine; this jade spring by the water is just right for the occasion."

"Don't drink."

"You won't be able to get any more drinks from me next time."

Shen Shuyi had a decent alcohol tolerance; she finished her wine with some pancakes and became slightly tipsy.

On the other hand, Shi Zhengchun was greatly affected by Shen Shuyi's indifference.

Su Qingyao clung tightly to Shi Zhengchun's chest, "Shi Lang, don't beg her, she won't save me. I'd rather die in your arms."

"Qingyao, don't talk nonsense. How could Hanji die? Besides, you are a direct disciple of Medicine King Valley." Shi Zhengchun quickly comforted her, while looking at the stunningly beautiful woman in the red dress opposite him.

"Shu'er is a kind girl. She's just being jealous and throwing a tantrum. I'll talk to her myself, and she'll definitely come to help you with your medical treatment."

Su Qingyao couldn't catch him, and Shi Zhengchun got up and left. She watched helplessly as he walked up to the woman in the red dress.
