Because her foot was still injured, there might be thieves waiting at home, Xie Ling simply accepted Master Hua Ruling's invitation that night and stayed with Xie Xing in Huafu.

She was a little embarrassed at first, but later she learned that Hua Manlou and Xie Xinglu Xiaofeng hit it off very well, and when Hua Ruling was very pleased to have made friends, she also accepted the kindness graciously.

What she didn't expect was that Chu Liuxiang actually stayed behind and visited her in her room after dinner.

The ankle that has been fixed is no longer as painful as before, but Xie Ling still doesn't have the courage to walk on the ground. Thinking about it, this person has seen his aunt's pain become inhuman, so he just let himself go , leaning on the bed, with loose hair and didn't bother to tidy up, tilted his head and asked him, "Why is Xiangshuai here?"

"Of course I came to see how Miss Xie is doing." Chu Liuxiang caught a glimpse of the handkerchief she put on the bedside and smiled, "I was careless about today's matter. I'm sorry Miss Xie."

"Don't." She waved her hand, "Without Xiang Shuai, I'd probably have been arrested, and I'm not a person who repays favors."

"That's not what I meant." Chu Liuxiang paused, "I promised Ah Xing to protect you, but—"

As soon as he mentioned this, Xie Ling remembered Xie Xing shouting "Master lied to me!" before he went to sleep, and immediately laughed out loud, and stopped after a while, "It's really nothing. I was ready to fall to my death."

"I didn't know that Miss Xie was afraid of heights." Chu Liuxiang actually didn't know what she was laughing at, but seeing her curled up her eyes with a faint red glow on her face, she was much cuter than when she was crying Many, unconsciously staring at it for a while before recovering.

Xie Ling was so stared at by him that she thought he had been accused by Xie Xing, she waved her hands again and said: "Ah Xing is talking nonsense, just ignore him."

"What nonsense?"

She was taken aback for a moment, then changed her words, "It's nothing, I just wanted to say, Xiang Shuai, how are you thinking?"

"Miss Xie and A Xing are in such a dangerous situation now, why not let this matter go tonight?" Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and asked tentatively, "What does Miss Xie think?"

Xie Ling accepted his favor, and he saved her life, so it's not easy to shake her head and say no, besides, what Chu Liuxiang said was just to put it aside for the time being, not to mention it again.

"Alright." She nodded.

"Then Miss Xie, rest well." He smiled with satisfaction, walked to her bed and tucked the quilt for her, "I won't bother Miss Xie anymore."

It was the first time for Xie Ling to experience someone helping to tuck the quilt since her parents passed away. She was in a complicated mood, and when she raised her eyes, she met his smiling eyes again. Take a closer look at this person once.

I have to say that when we first met Chu Liuxiang, because of his travels and dust, compared to his current high spirits, he was really like two people.

"Don't worry about the agency case." Chu Liuxiang said again, "Go to sleep."

I don't know if it's because the atmosphere just now was a rare harmony since the two of them met, Xie Ling actually nodded obediently, then turned her head and closed her eyes.

Breathing also tends to be stable.

Chu Liuxiang stared at the sleeping face in front of her, slightly raised the corners of her lips, seemed to be carelessly smoothing her somewhat messy forehead hair, and then closed the door and went out.

When Xie Ling woke up early the next morning, she was still worried for a while. She might not be able to go to the hospital in this state. She only remembered after washing up hard.

Thinking of this, she was relieved.

The same is true for Xie Xing, it is not good to go to the private school again, Hua Ruling made the decision to let him sit in with the teacher of Huamanlou for a few days, this proposal was greatly appreciated by Xie Ling, and of course Xie Xing wailed in pain for a long time.

"After such a big incident, we can't even go home, and I still have to study! My God! I am too miserable!"

Hua Manlou comforted him: "My wife is very good."

"...Facing a student like you, of course it's good."

Faced with me, he might want to kill me, he thought desperately.

But no matter how much he wailed, when the time came, he was taken to class by Hua Manlou at Xie Ling's strong request.

Xie Ling was alone, and although a wealthy Hua family lent her a wheelchair, she didn't have the energy to walk around, so she just sat down in the garden of Huafu.

The severe cold has arrived, and the flowers and trees in the garden in the south of the Yangtze River are also withering badly, but there is a wintersweet plant that blooms just right, it looks like it has been a few years old, and the clear fragrance blows to the nostrils with the wind.

It's a bit like the breath I smelled on Chu Liuxiang last night.

She was bored counting the flowers on the branches, and after counting five times, she realized that there were two figures standing on the diagonally opposite corridor for a long time.

The Hua family was rich and powerful, and the garden alone was huge. With such a long distance, Xie Ling couldn't see the faces of the two people clearly, but judging from their clothes, they knew that they were Chu Liuxiang and Leng Xue.

Maybe they were there to discuss how to solve the agency case, she thought.

After a while, they seemed to have finished their discussion. Chu Liuxiang walked over from the corridor and across a horizontal white jade bridge. When the wind picked up, Xie Ling sat there with her head tilted, her upper body flinching, thinking about what to do. Don't just go back to your room.

But Chu Liuxiang was only a few feet away from her, so she could only continue to sit and watch him come forward step by step.

"Miss Xie is admiring the flowers?"

Xie Ling saw him sitting down on the stone bench next to him unceremoniously, raised his hand to pour himself a cup of tea, and stopped him, saying, "The water is already cold."

"It's okay." Chu Liuxiang drank it anyway.

Xie Ling was also very meaningless, so she stopped being entangled and asked him, "Did Xiang Shuai discuss this case with Mr. Leng just now?"

Chu Liuxiang shook her head, "Not exactly."

"...?"

"I also asked a few questions about the Shenhou Mansion that Miss Xie mentioned." He stared at her unnatural expression, and changed the subject, "It's a pity that Lord Leng doesn't want to say more."

Xie Ling shrugged, "I don't know much."

Chu Liuxiang didn't bother her to ask, she sat there and poured herself another cup of cold tea, "But I want to ask Miss Xie a question, which has nothing to do with this."

Xie Ling: "What?"

"Miss Xie still insists on not letting Ah Xing learn martial arts?" The doubts on his brows did not seem to be fake, "If the agency case cannot be resolved in a short time."

Xie Ling got stuck.

To be honest, it is not that she has not considered this hypothesis, but every time she thinks about half of it, she always comforts herself. Now that Leng Xue and Chu Liuxiang are jointly handling this case, there will be no problem. After the solution is over, she and Xie Xing can resume their previous of life.

But since she could trust Chu Liuxiang in the matter of the case, why couldn't she trust Chu Liuxiang in the matter of guaranteeing Xie Xing's safety after accepting Xie Xing as his apprentice.

What's more, given yesterday's situation, if Xie Xing didn't have any kung fu foundation, he might not be so lucky to escape into the Huafu mansion.

"I don't mean to repay the favor, I just start from Miss Xie's mood, and suggest that Miss Xie think about it." Chu Liuxiang said very sincerely, "It is true that his talent is so high that I am reluctant to let him go, but he is a little bit of martial arts. There is no harm to him or Miss Xie."

Xie Ling wanted to shake her head, but opened her mouth several times to his serious face, and finally lowered her head without saying anything.

Chu Liuxiang continued to talk: "I've thought about it for the past few days. Miss Xie is most worried about whether he, as my apprentice, will be troubled by my enemies, right?"

Xie Ling almost blurted out how would you know, but when she thought that he was Chu Liuxiang, she felt that it was reasonable to have such insight into people's hearts, so she only pursed her lips, which was regarded as acquiescing.

"If Miss Xie is worried about this, you can rest assured." Chu Liuxiang said, "I asked him, and he didn't even tell Lu Xiaofeng and Zhu Ting in time, nor did I tell anyone else, even Master Hua thought I was I am investigating this case, so I will help you guys, knowing that he belongs to my apprentice, so far, it is just you and me and him."

"...Hua Manlou also knows."

Xie Ling still remembered Xie Xing's accusation against Chu Liuxiang when he watched the doctor treat her ankle last night.

The maid of the Hua family and the doctor may not know that he is talking about Chu Liuxiang, but Hua Manlou definitely knows it.

"It doesn't matter what he said." Chu Liuxiang suddenly laughed, "To be honest, this little dude really surprised me."

Xie Ling was puzzled, and looked at him suspiciously, "...Because of eye disease?"

"I once knew a person who had an eye disease. He also became blind after an illness. Since then, his hearing power has surpassed that of ordinary people." Chu Liuxiang's expression was complicated, "Although the illness did not hinder his martial arts talent, he still He is an amazingly talented person, but he is not satisfied, maybe he thinks it would be better if he didn't have that illness, but he trapped himself for a lifetime."

Although he spoke plainly and lightly, Xie Ling felt some pity for some reason.

But the same experience doesn't mean anything, at least from her two contacts with Huamanlou, she can be sure that this seven-year-old child really only has tolerance and light in his heart.

"Hua Man Lou will never be like this." Xie Ling said very firmly.

"That's right." Chu Liuxiang agreed, "So if it's this little dude, I believe he won't reveal it to others."

Xie Ling didn't expect him to go back, but she did think that Chu Liuxiang was right.

"What's more, Ah Xing knows Miss Xie that you want him to be successful in the exam. He will definitely continue to study. Learning some martial arts is not contradictory to studying."

"Xiang Shuai is really eloquent." Xie Ling sighed, "Actually, with Xiang Shuai's skills, it is not impossible to continue teaching him without anyone noticing?"

"But I don't want to lie to girls." Chu Liuxiang put down the white jade blue and white teacup in her hand, and said in a playful tone, "And she is such a beautiful girl."

Xie Ling was choked speechless by these words, so she could only turn her head away and stop looking at him.

There was no line of sight, but his voice could still be heard.

"I'm just telling the truth," he said.
