Li Wanji practiced qigong and regulated her breathing for two hours. It was already dawn when she stopped practicing qigong and walked out through the door.

After staying in Wanhua Valley for a few days, now everything has been dealt with, and it is time to take the children to the next apprenticeship base.

"Miss Li, are you leaving?"

When Grandma Shancha saw Li Wanji packing her bags, she asked with some reluctance.

"Yes, I have been bothering you for several days. It is time to continue on my journey."

Li Wanji nodded with a hint of apology on her face.

"Miss Li came here for the young valley master. Now that the young valley master has mastered his skills, why don't you stay for a few more days?"

Granny Shancha said with a look of regret that this Miss Li had a beautiful face and an extraordinary temperament. She had been here for so many years, but this was the first time she had seen such an outstanding woman.

Although the young valley master was cold, aloof and unromantic, he got along very well with this Miss Li. In the past few days, the two of them were inseparable, like a perfect couple.

Now that Miss Li is suddenly leaving, she, as an outsider, naturally feels sorry.

"I have been out for a while, and I still have to send my two children to become apprentices. This is a top priority and cannot be delayed."

Li Wanji explained softly, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

"Where is the Young Valley Master? I will go and say goodbye to him now."

Granny Shancha suddenly thought of something and said quickly, "Young Master has instructed Miss Li to go to his study when she wakes up."

Li Wanji was stunned and felt a little confused.

What does Jiuluo Nanxing mean by this? They had such an unpleasant quarrel last night, why would he want to see her?

However, since it was Jiuluo Nanxing's idea, she couldn't refuse, so she followed Grandma Shanhua to Jiuluo Nanxing's study.

"Miss Li, please take a seat. The young master will be here shortly."

Grandma Shancha served Li Wanji the magical tea, then left and closed the door.

Li Wanji sat beside the table, sipping tea boredly.

The young valley master is really a man of character. He asked her to wait and he made her wait, and he was not afraid that she would just leave.

After about an incense stick of time, the door was pushed open and Jiuluo Nanxing walked in slowly.

He was wearing a moon-white gown today, with delicate silver patterns embroidered on the cuffs and hem. His jet-black hair was casually tied up behind his head, with a few strands of hair scattered in front of his forehead, making his already handsome face even more elegant and refined.

It was the first time that Li Wanji saw such an elegant and fairy-like appearance, and she was stunned for a moment.

"Wanji, I have something to say to you."

Jiuluo Nanxing walked straight to the desk and sat down, looking up at Li Wanji, with a hint of apology in his cold eyes.

"Young Master, please speak."

Li Wanji came back to her senses, raised her hand and took a sip of tea, her bright eyes staring straight at Jiuluo Nanxing, feeling a little curious.

What exactly did he want to say to her? Could it be that he wanted to thank her for helping her break through and blossom?

"Does it still hurt?"

Li Wanji was stunned. She didn't expect Jiuluo Nanxing to ask this.

She took out the bronze mirror, looked at the red marks on her neck, and felt speechless.

This man is really weird. He was the one who pinched me last night. Doesn’t he know how hard he hit me?

Li Wanji didn't know how to answer. She couldn't say it didn't hurt at all, right? After all, Jiu Luo Nanxing had almost killed her at that time, and it would take some time to fully recover.

"If it still hurts, raise your head and I'll help you."

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Jiuluonanxing thought she was still in pain, so he raised his hand and reached for her neck.

Li Wanji subconsciously dodged back and avoided his hand.

Jiuluonanxing's hand stopped in mid-air, he was stunned for a moment, then he withdrew his hand.

"I was a little impulsive last night, I'm sorry!"

He said in a deep voice, a trace of annoyance flashing across his handsome face.

"It's okay. I understand how Young Master felt at that time. After all, anyone would be unhappy if their memory was pried into."

Li Wanji waved her hand to show that she didn't care.

Jiuluo Nanxing's eyes darkened slightly as he looked at her steadily. After a moment, he said, "Don't mention the memories you saw yesterday to anyone."

"Young Master, do you not trust me?"

Li Wanji looked at Jiuluo Nanxing with some surprise, feeling a little unhappy.

The reason why she snooped into Jiuluo Nanxing's memory yesterday was purely out of curiosity. Although she was not a gentleman, she was not a villain who liked to gossip about others behind their backs.

"Wanji, that's not what I meant."

"come over!"

Jiuluo Nanxing raised his hand towards her, motioning her to come closer.

Li Wanji hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and sat down on the single couch next to Jiuluo Nanxing.

Jiuluo Nanxing leaned over and supported his hands on her sides. The distance between them was so close that she could feel the warmth of his breath on her cheek.

"I don't want anyone to know about those things. Now that you already know, you can't reveal a single word."

His voice was soft, but it was firm and unquestionable.

"Don't worry, I'm not that talkative."

Li Wanji felt a little nervous and twisted her body uncomfortably, wanting to get up and leave.

Jiuluo Nanxing refused to let her go. He put his arms around her waist and held her tightly in his arms.

"do not move!"

His voice was slightly deep and contained a hint of warning, and at the same time he tightened his arms, causing pain around her waist.

Li Wanji didn't dare to move again, for fear of angering him.

Jiuluo Nanxing flipped his palm, and a bottle of paste-like medicine appeared in his hand.

"This is?"

Li Wanji looked at the medicine bottle in his hand with some confusion. What was he going to do?

"I hurt you yesterday. This medicine will help you recover quickly."

As Jiuluo Nanxing said this, he was about to untie her clothes and apply medicine to her.

Li Wanji was startled and quickly held his hand, saying shyly, "I can do it myself."

Jiuluonanxing's eyes darkened as he stared at her for a while before withdrawing his hand.

Li Wanji breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head and unbuttoned her clothes, revealing her snow-white neck.

She only knew that Jiuluo Nanxing wanted to apply medicine on her neck, but she didn't expect that he would slightly bend his fingers and gently press and knead her waist.

"you?"

Li Wanji screamed and tried to sit up, but Jiuluo Nanxing held her shoulders.

"obedient!"

He shouted in a deep voice, with an irresistible force.

Li Wanji did not move again and had to let him press the injured area on her waist.

His fingers were long and strong, his fingertips were warm, and the pressure he applied was just right. The injured area on her waist gradually gave her a soothing feeling, almost making her drowsy.

"feel better now?"

Jiuluo Nanxing stopped and asked in a low voice.

"Ah."

Li Wanji responded in a daze, her eyes already beginning to fight.

"Go and have some rest first, I'll check on you later."

Jiuluo Nanxing said this and withdrew his hand.

Li Wanji raised her hand and rubbed her hazy eyes. When she turned her head again, she found that Jiuluo Nanxing was no longer by her side.

She looked down at her untied collar, her face suddenly felt hot, and she quickly fastened her collar.

This man is really strange. He pinched her until her body was bruised and blue last night, but today he personally healed her wounds.

Forget it, anyway, she has paid off her debt for last night, and from now on they will go their separate ways and have nothing to do with each other anymore.

Li Wanji thought about it, pushed the door and walked out.

When Granny Camellia saw her coming out, she came towards her with a gossipy look on her face.

"Miss Li, you and Young Valley Master?"

"Mother-in-law, I don't understand what you mean."

Li Wanji looked at Grandma Shancha's face and made faces, feeling a little amused and helpless.

"Young Master of the Valley asked me to rest for a while and will send me off later."

"Oh, it's a pity that you two are alone and have such a passionate relationship."

Grandma Camellia shook her head regretfully, making a clicking sound.

"Mother-in-law, Young Master is not that kind of person."

A blush appeared on Li Wanji's face and she quickly explained.

"Why not? Young Master Shaogu is such an outstanding young man, and he has never been attracted to any woman in these years. You are the first one."

"Cough cough cough."

Li Wanji was choked by Grandma Shancha's words and almost died.

What the hell is going on? Why does she feel like Grandma Shancha is trying to match people up?

"Miss Li, why don't you stay here? I think the young master treats you very differently."

Grandma Shancha persuaded enthusiastically.

"No... no."

Li Wanji decisively refused. What was the point of staying? Staying to be a maid? She was not interested.

"Well, you can just rest here for a while."

Grandma Shancha did not force her. She gave her a few instructions and turned and left.
