Towards Jing Wans words, Li Hong Yuan was actually very calm. Since its of his own design, then there wasnt anything he wont take responsibility for. He would rather have Jing Wan come find him to settle the score. The more she cared about this matter, meant the more she cared about him. He was only upset that Jing Wan wanted to erase the mark he left behind. Although at the time he wasnt clear-headed, and wasnt able to properly taste what flavor Wan Wans blood was. When awake, he wasnt willing to harm her. However, right now, he didnt regret it either. Compared to her, for a long period of time, needing to cover it up, and possibly even getting discovered by someone, directly cutting it off was certainly the simplest.

Even without experiencing the storms, deep down, Wan Wan was still very firm and decisive. This kind of thing that wont bring about harm to others, and she herself only needed to leave behind a scar as the price, and will be able to put an end to a lot of troubles, how she will decide, all didnt need to be thought about.

As for this bunch of unperceptive things, even daring to carelessly look at their future mistresss neck, when he gets back, need to properly wash their eyes out for them.

Cutting off the bite mark already became an inevitability. Li Hong Yuan naturally cant let her do it herself, so he secretly touched An Jiu.

An Jiu wasnt surprised to have received the indication. This kind of thing was most suitable for him to do. Just, in the future, every time master thinks of this, afraid he will always hold a grudge against him. He(LHY) wont remember that in this moment, it was him that issued the order. An Jiu accepted it very calmly. How about this one do it. This one believes oneself to be rather knowledgable towards external injuries, dont know what Miss Luo thinks?

Jing Wan nodded. Whoever did it was all the same, certainly would be better than herself.

An Jiu broke off a branch and approached Jing Wan. The her right now strangely felt a lot more dazzling than before when she was asleep. She doesnt shrink back when she encounters trouble, advancing in the face of difficulty; her actions and words decisive and sharp, not dragging through the mud at all. She isnt at all arrogant, yet one was able to sense her unyielding pride. Everything she showed on the outside, all far surpassed the steadiness and wisdom of her age. She was very much resembled master, whod matured at an young age many years ago. In that moment, An Jiu seemingly understood suddenly a little bit why master was that strongly attached to her. Indeed, only this kind of woman was the most suitable for master, because when encountering trouble, she not only wouldnt become a burden, but would even be able to take control of the situation when master isnt present.

To make it look real, the cut will be a bit long. However, we only need to have the surface covered up, and itll be fine. After all, even a highly skilled physician of external wounds wouldnt look too closely at a wound on a ladys neck.

Jing Wans brows lightly creased, Make it deeper. Im not concealing for a moment, but for an eternity. If the fake external wound is too shallow, after it heals, the markings inside will still be clearly seen. Then everything right now would just be suffering in vain.

An Jiu was unable to respond. Looking at it carefully, he finally noticed, master had bitten quite fiercely. Even the best scar erasing medicine wouldnt be able to remove it either. Itll probably have to accompany her for her whole life. To want to thoroughly cover it up, the possibility of leaving behind a scar was relatively high. Is master regretting now? Itll be very painful, if Miss Luo is unable to endure..

If I were you, it wouldve already ended. Dont you know, the more one hesitates, the greater the pressure itll cause the other person? Jing Wan said as she tilted her neck, silently urging.

An Jiu found his hands slightly trembling for some reason. He didnt even have this reaction when he was treating his masters wounds.

Jing Wan consolingly smiled at him, even joking, Hold steady, else, this life of mine will really forfeit in your hands.

As expected, the more said, the greater the pressure, he really experienced it deeply firsthand. Also that feeling like a tip of a blade against his back, he was certain, master was staring at him. Great aunt, please stop smiling, masters vinegar jar is about to overturn. Touching you has already made him harbor hard feelings. After this matter is over, better voluntarily return to training for a period of time.

With you like this, perhaps its better I do it myself? Jing Wan still smiled.

Two strokes down, and Jing Wan felt the distinct pain. Yet inside, she felt quite relieve. In this place thats extremely harsh to women, such a bite mark, never mind an unmarried young lady, even married women would draw in slanderous rumors. Those self-proclaimed noble and extremely sophisticated people, once they see this kind of thing, will just spit out the most malicious, cruelest, and harshest words. Because they themselves were deeply restricted, they were unable to tolerate anyone being different than them.

(T/N: I like Jing Wans commentary towards life in ancient times a lot; not a lot of novels make these kinds of observations.)

In others eyes, Jing Wans brows didnt even crease once, only using a handkerchief to cover it. However, as if shed thought of something again, she let go some, allowing the fresh blood to dye her collar red.

Never mind that when Li Hong Yuan saw the blood on Jing Wans neck, his gaze became increasingly dark and dangerous, even An Jiu frowned disapprovingly, Miss Luo..

Jing Wan unconcernedly waved her hand, I fainted right after I fell down. If there isnt any blood on my clothes, how will I be able to explain it. I can just take care of it later.

Master refused for him to treat his wound, and right now she refused his advice, all for the purpose of successfully pulling of their ruse. On this bit, the two of them seemed to be connected inside, but what was different was that Miss Luo did it for the sake of others, while master did it for himself. Comparing the two, Miss Luo seems to appear all the more magnanimous and selfless, and master selfish and petty?

An Jiu handed her a bottle of medicine, This can let wounds quickly stop bleeding, and furthermore, wont leave behind traces of medicine powder.

Jing Wan unhesitantly accepted it. After all, its been this long, the wound will definitely have differences. Many thanks.

Lets go, the people searching for Miss Luo should be arriving soon. An Yi reminded them.

Jing Wan also nodded her head. Although there was quite a bit of difference between people who practice martial arts and people who didnt, but in Jing Wans eyes, people who practice martial arts still wouldnt be able to reach the same level of miraculousness as those in the martial arts (wuxia) novels of her past life. To be able to travel a thousand miles in a day and whatnot with just a pair of legs was definitely a fantasy story. If the time of their accident and the time of Jin Qinwangs assassination attempt arent too long apart from beginning to end, then the people looking for her should also be close by.

Just when they were preparing to leave, An Jiu suddenly asked, Miss has never seen us before, yet you are this reassured to hand Wangye over to us? After all, according to reason, it wouldnt just be one group of people looking for Wangye. It might also be those assassins, no?

Jing Wan glanced to him, rather dumbfounded, Forgive me for saying something impolite, but are those words saying Im dumb, or saying that youre dumb? If it was assassin that had bursted in, seeing an unconscious Jin Qinwang, in addition to a defenseless feeble woman, their first reaction would only be to charge up and kill everyone. Would they still have the leisure mood to say this much to me? Furthermore, I dont know, but what assassins would be that brazen to still relentlessly pursue a qinwang after possibly succeeding already, insisting on ensuring his life or death? For you all to have taken this long to come, it can be assumed that Jin Qinwang also fell from the cliff into the river. Those assassins either already got executed, or already fled. If theres really still this many assassins after him, then how useless would the people by Jin Qinwangs side be?

T/N: I should make a counter for every time Jing Wan roast someone in this novel.
