On the second floor of the deckhouse, in a room near the stern…
In order to take care of each other on the way, Pei Xiangjun and Luo Ning stayed together. When they heard that Ye Jingtang had returned, the two women were a little impatient.
Ye Jingtang had defeated Xuanyuan Chao and completed a magnificent feat that shocked the world. To others, it was unbelievable, but the two people who shared a bed with him naturally had to be calmer. After all, they knew how deep Ye Jingtang’s foundation was. It was only a matter of time before he occupied a place among the Martial Chiefs.
The two of them were more worried about Ye Jingtang’s health.
Luo Ning wanted to be more conservative. She sat upright in her chair and put on the appearance of a cold and heroic woman so as not to let Ye Jingtang come in and find her worried. But her constant stroking of her teacup still exposed the anxiety in her heart.
On the other hand, Pei Xiangjun was not so particular. She was wearing a light yellow ruqun, pacing back and forth with her hands folded at her waist. Occasionally, she would lean against the door to eavesdrop. She frowned. Clearly, she felt that the princess was too clingy but couldn’t say it out loud.
After she waited for a while, footsteps finally sounded in the corridor.
Pei Xiangjun hurriedly put on a mature and steady bearing and gently opened the door. Seeing that Ye Jingtang was alone in the corridor, she said, “Jingtang, did Her Highness go up?”
“Yes.” Ye Jingtang quickly walked to the door and raised his arms to hug the delicate Third Lady. He was slightly proud. “I’m the Saber Chief now. Am I powerful?”
Pei Xiangjun was afraid that the palace maids would see her, so she hurriedly pulled Ye Jingtang into the room and said, “Impressive. When Ning’er first received the news, she jumped up and was as happy as a monkey…”
Bang!
Luo Ning, who was combing her hair, frowned when she heard this. She patted the tea table lightly. “Who was as happy as a monkey? If I hadn’t stopped you, you would have sneaked away to Jun Mountain Terrace without even changing your clothes. You even said that I…”
“I was worried about Jingtang’s safety.” Pei Xiangjun held Ye Jingtang’s wrist and checked his pulse. “How are your injuries?”
Ye Jingtang rubbed his waist. “My entire body hurts when 1 walk. I haven’t recovered even after resting for a few days. Xuanyuan Chao is indeed domineering. Before I saw him, I didn’t expect him to be so big. Tu Jiuji is considered a little fatty standing in front of him…”
Luo Ning originally wanted to be aloof, but seeing Ye Jingtang like this, she couldn’t hold back anymore. She stood up, walked over to him, rolled up his sleeve, and checked his pulse. “Is there anyone who can wield the heavy Jun Mountain Saber who has a small physique? Xuanyuan Chao probably weighs more than a hundred and fifty kilograms and walks the path of external martial arts. Few people in this world can withstand a full-strength slash from him. You will definitely suffer if you fight head-on…”
Seeing Luo Ning still disciplining her man, Pei Xiangjun retorted, “If he doesn’t fight head-on, should he learn the Nine Palace Steps from you and wait for Xuanyuan Chao to spin his saber?”
“You…”
“Alright.” Ye Jingtang raised his hand to stop the fight and said with a smile, “Help me apply some medicine. I’ve been applying medicine myself for the past two days on the way. The black boat is the size of a palm, and there’s no comfortable place to lie down. I really have to rest well.”
Hearing this, Luo Ning stopped arguing. She helped Ye Jingtang lie down on the canopy bed and helped him take off his shoes.
Pei Xiangjun guessed that Daoist Xuanji wouldn’t help Jingtang recuperate. He must have been holding it in for a few days. She thought for a moment and patted the waist of Luo Ning, who was leaning over. freewe(b)novel.com
“I’ll apply the medicine while you get down to business.”
Luo Ning straightened up, her peach blossom-like beautiful eyes looking slightly annoyed. “He’s already injured to this extent, yet you still want to torture him? It will take him a hundred days to recover from his injuries. Let him rest well for the next three months…”
“Uh?!” Ye Jingtang’s weak appearance disappeared, and he sat up in shock. “My body is just a little strained. It’s not to the point of being bedridden…”
Luo Ning knew that Ye Jingtang would be like this. She pressed him back down and let him lie down. “It’s broad daylight. Daoist Xuanji and the others are all above, and there are many palace maids around. Aren’t you afraid of being heard?”
“I’m just saying that I don’t need to rest for three months. We won’t be back for a few days…” freeweb(n)ovel.com
“Hmph!”
As they chatted, several ships filled with imperial guards slowly sailed into the Wuxi Estuary under the autumn light of the blue sky, heading toward the distant capital…
