He slowly lowered his head, staring at his hand which was tightly holding Yang Jin's, and endless helplessness surged in his heart.

"Daddy, are you okay?" Yang Jin raised his head and looked at Murong Xiao with worried eyes.

Murong Xiao smiled slightly, gently stroked Yang Jin's hair, and said softly: "Jin'er, don't worry, I'm fine."

Shen Yan, who was standing by, observed all this silently and understood many things in an instant.

"Xiao San, is there such a person mentioned in the original text?" He couldn't help but ask Xiao San.

[Of course there are, there are many stories between the two of them! Listen to me and I will tell you...] Xiao San didn't pay much attention to Shen Yan's injury, but was excited to tell this gossip.

"Stop, wait until I have arranged everything, then tell me in detail." Although Shen Yan was curious about the relationship between the two, what was more important right now was to find a safe place to recuperate.

At this time, Yang Jin also walked to Shen Yan, carefully supported him, and helped him sit up slowly.

"Brother Shen, what should we do next?" Yang Jin asked Shen Yan with a worried look on his face.

"Don't worry." Shen Yan said in a comforting tone, "The Shen family has a villa in the Acropolis. We can rest here tonight. To be on the safe side, we will set off for the capital tomorrow morning."

Yang Jin nodded in agreement, his eyes showing his deep trust in Shen Yan: "We all listen to Brother Shen."

At this time, Murong Xiao was standing quietly by the side, listening to the two people's decision, and nodded silently.

After saying that, the three of them slowly stepped out of the inn and headed towards the Shen family's villa.

After arriving at the villa, Shen Yan expressed his understanding of Yang Jin and Murong Xiao sleeping together tonight.

After all, the father and son must have something to talk about.

He properly deployed the night watchmen and then returned to his room.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw that the servants had already prepared a huge bathtub.

Shen Yan's mind moved, and a plastic bucket filled with medicinal spring water instantly appeared next to the bathtub.

He endured the pain in his chest and carefully poured all the medicine in the bucket into the bathtub.

Then, Shen Yan took off his outer clothes and slowly immersed himself in the warm medicine.

As soon as the potion touched his skin, it seeped into his body as smoothly as silk, dispelling the cold and pain in his body bit by bit.

Shen Yan closed his eyes, quietly enjoying the moisture and comfort brought by the potion, but his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the battle scene just now - Liu Zhi's figure when fighting with him kept flashing in his mind like a shadow.

After this fight, Shen Yan deeply realized that Liu Zhi's strength had already entered the realm of Martial Emperor, and he was completely powerless against him today. If the other party really wanted to take their lives, it would be easy.

However, when Liu Zhi looked at Murong Xiao with a look full of affection and without concealment, Shen Yan thought to himself: The relationship between the two is definitely not simple.

"Xiao San, you can now tell us about their emotional dispute." Shen Yan opened his eyes and spoke to the air.

[Ok, host. 】

[The story is this, Murong Xiao was originally a pampered young master of the Murong family in the capital. When he was young, he accidentally met Liu Zhi, a bastard who was still in a low position in the Liu family and was not welcomed.

Murong Xiao felt pity for Liu Zhi and thought that his fate was so unfortunate and pitiful, so she often sneaked out to play with Liu Zhi without telling her family, and brought many delicious dishes and magical herbs to share with him.

After a while, Murong Xiao gradually developed a different feeling towards Liu Zhi.

Later, he actually hid it from his father and secretly gave the miraculous medicine he had found with great difficulty to Liu Zhi for him to take.

This magical medicine is comparable to the legendary marrow cleansing pill, which can transform one's body and soul and improve one's talent. It is precisely because of this that Liu Zhi, who was originally mediocre in talent, was able to soar to the sky and transform himself into an eye-catching young genius.

However, truth will eventually come to light, and after the truth was exposed, Murong Xiao was naturally severely punished - he was punished by his father to kneel in the ancestral hall for a full half month!

However, despite this punishment, Murong Xiao still remained infatuated with Liu Zhi, and she pestered him all day long. Time passed quickly, and three years had passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Liu Zhi was only a young man, but he had already successfully entered the realm of a military commander. He was truly a natural genius. As his own martial arts value continued to soar, his status in the Liu family also rose.

Because of this, many young men and women at that time fell in love with him, and the eldest daughter of the Zhang family was the most persistent, saying that she would not marry anyone other than Liu Zhi.

Faced with such a passionate love confession, Liu Zhi behaved very calmly and chose to reject it without hesitation. This move made Murong Xiao secretly happy for a long time, and she naively believed that Liu Zhi and she had a mutual understanding and affection for each other.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After only one year, Murong Xiao's father became worried about his level of cultivation.

While searching for precious elixirs to help him improve his cultivation, he unfortunately encountered a powerful fifth-level peak beast and eventually died at its hands.

At that time, the Murong family was already in chaos. The family business that was supposed to be inherited by the direct line fell into the hands of his hostile uncle! For a time, there was a lot of resentment in the Murong family. Everyone pointed the finger at Murong Xiao, accusing him of being the initiator of this incident. Facing the abuse and accusations of everyone, Murong Xiao felt as if the whole sky had collapsed.

When he was desperate, Murong Xiao thought of Liu Zhi, hoping to get some comfort and support from him. However, when he found Liu Zhi with great expectation, he found that he had already made an engagement with the eldest daughter of the Zhang family.

This sudden news hit Murong Xiao's fragile heart like a bolt from the blue.

After learning about this, Murong Xiao was heartbroken and unable to accept the fact.

He decided to go find Liu Zhi again and ask him in person.

But who would have thought that what was waiting for him was a carefully planned conspiracy. On the way to find Liu Zhi, Murong Xiao was kidnapped by the eldest daughter of the Zhang family!

What made Murong Xiao even more heartbroken was that, under the scheme of the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, he actually heard Liu Zhi say those extremely heartless words with his own ears: "Murong Xiao is just a tool I use. Does he really think I have any feelings for him? If it weren't for the magic medicine in his hands and the resources he provided, why would I keep pretending to be nice to him?!"

At that moment, Murong Xiao felt a pain in his heart like a knife. He stared at Liu Zhi through the crack in the door, unable to believe what he heard.
