Xia Younan sighed and said nothing more, but Jun Ziyao on the side saw it all.

He saw the woman he loved risking her life for another man, and then saw this man disregarding the rules and regulations of a monk and flew into a rage, roaring and demanding the thief to pay with his life.

No matter how slow he was, he was still vaguely aware of something.

But... doesn't she have someone she likes?

Isn’t he a monk?

The doctor used a knife to cut open the skin around the arrow on Qu Xiaoyou's chest, pinched the arrow handle outside and carefully took it out.

During this time, her wound was bleeding all the time, and the blood soaked the sheets beneath her and stained the doctor's hands red. The strong smell of blood filled the entire room, tormenting everyone's taste buds.

Fortunately, Qu Xiaoyou had already fainted and did not have to endure this heart-wrenching pain.

Time passed minute by minute. After taking out the arrow, the doctor disinfected the wound and sutured it. Finally, he wiped the sweat off his face and stood up.

"How is she?" Everyone swarmed over, each one trembling with fear and frowning.

The doctor took a towel from the side, wiped the blood off his hands and said, "Fortunately, the arrow missed the heart by a hair's breadth. If it had been a little more off, even a great god wouldn't have been able to help!"

When they heard this, they broke out in cold sweats, but at the same time they felt relieved and asked him nervously, "So, she's okay now?"

The doctor nodded. "She is no longer in danger of death. She just lost too much blood and will probably be in a coma for a few days. You take good care of her, change the dressings on time, and feed her more nourishing blood-producing food. She will recover in time."

At this moment, everyone's hearts finally dropped. They took deep breaths, wiped the sweat from their foreheads, patted their frightened chests, and felt their legs going weak.

Zenmu's reaction was particularly obvious. He actually slumped down on the stool, covering his sweat-soaked forehead, closing his eyes, his chest heaving violently.

"How is Xiaoyou?" The door was suddenly opened, and Lu Xiuyuan ran in breathlessly, and first asked about Qu Xiaoyou's condition.

"Xiao You is fine. She lost too much blood." Xia Younan simply answered him, then turned and asked angrily, "Where is Ye Beimo? Let him pay for Xiao You's life!"

Lu Xiuyuan sighed deeply and replied in annoyance: "We could have caught up with him, but he escaped into the City Lord's Mansion at the critical moment.

"The city lord and the guards regarded him as the son of God and let him in, but stopped me outside. I couldn't force my way into the city lord's mansion, so I had to give up for the time being."

"Damn Ye Beimo, he's so cunning!" Xia Younan cursed angrily, his teeth itching with hatred.

Afterwards, Zhu Lixiong Fei took the reward money and sent the doctor out; Chan Mu moved the stool to the bedside and guarded the injured person on the bed intently; Jun Ziyao, who had no sense of existence at the side, watched this scene, lowered his head, and left with a lonely face.

Xia Younan looked at his departing back, unable to bear the pain of this innocent boy suffering from emotional trauma, so he gave Lu Xiuyuan a few words and followed him.

Jun Ziyao returned to the room in a daze, like a puppet, with his head hanging. As soon as he sat down, Xia Younan, who followed him, sat down opposite him without any courtesy.

As if he knew what she was doing, Jun Ziyao pouted his lips in grievance and asked with a choked voice: "She obviously has a lover, why did you lie to me?"

Seeing the young man's red eyes, Xia Younan felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. He frowned and explained to him in a gentle voice: "Young City Lord, we didn't lie to you."

"Not yet? Xiaoyou is willing to use her own life to shield him from the arrow. If she didn't love him deeply, how could she do this? But she told me that she has no lover!" Jun Ziyao asked in a voice of accusation, feeling sad and disappointed.

It was the first time he fell in love with a woman, but he didn't expect it to be a scam. He really couldn't accept it.

Xia Younan patted his shoulder, signaling him to calm down, then took a sip of the tea on the table and said to him, "Young City Lord, we didn't lie to you, Xiaoyou really doesn't have a lover.

"As for what you said, I can tell you the truth. The reason why Xiaoyou took the blame for my senior brother is because she likes my senior brother for three years!"

Then, she changed the subject, "But they are not lovers. My eldest brother is a Buddhist and abides by the rules and regulations. How can he accept her love? Therefore, they have never really been together, so how can they be considered lovers?"

Hearing that they didn't lie to him on purpose, Jun Ziyao felt better, but he still asked sadly: "But I can see that your senior brother also cares about Xiaoyou, why doesn't he return to secular life? Why doesn't he marry her?"

Xia Younan smiled bitterly and sighed, "Even you can see that my senior brother actually cares about Xiaoyou.

"But he converted to Buddhism when he was young and had been a monk for more than ten years. His belief in the Buddha was deeply rooted in his mind. He was used to his status and believed that he could not break the precepts and could not let down the Buddha.

"Under the suppression of his identity and beliefs, he may not even realize that he has fallen in love with Xiaoyou, or he may know that he has fallen in love with her, but he is struggling between his beliefs and feelings and cannot find any result."

Jun Ziyao listened to her explanation blankly, and after a while he seemed to understand, and complained pitifully: "Xiao You has persisted for three years, but now she agrees to marry me, is it because you want to use me to stop Ye Beimo from borrowing troops, and then dump me after the success, right?"

"Ah? No, no, no!" Xia Younan waved his hands quickly upon hearing this, denying it with a helpless smile, "What do you think of Xiaoyou and us?

"It's because Xiaoyou waited for my senior brother for too long, and my senior brother didn't respond, so she became discouraged.

"It just so happened that you offered her the conditions to marry her, so she simply decided to give up my brother. On the one hand, it freed herself, and on the other hand, it could help us."

"But!" Xia Younan raised his voice and emphasized, "She definitely didn't think of dumping you after using you.

"She told me that since she has decided to marry you, even if she doesn't like you now, she will continue to live with you and cultivate feelings with you as much as possible. She will never betray you."

Jun Ziyao curled his lips, feeling relieved knowing that they were not simply deceiving and using him.

"But she had decided to give up, but she still took the blame for him at the critical moment." Tears welled up in Jun Ziyao's eyes, and he felt aggrieved like a child.

"She simply can't give up on him. Even if she marries me in the future, she will still be depressed and will miss him secretly in her heart."

The more he spoke, the sadder he became. Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer and tears started to fall down his cheeks. He looked so pitiful.

He thought that he couldn't accept that the person he loved had someone else in his heart.

Now Xia Younan was speechless. Jun Ziyao was right. Qu Xiaoyou had deep feelings for her senior brother and might not forget him in this life. Even if there was such a day, it would probably be halfway through her life and she would be getting old.

This is really unfair to the young city lord.
