Accused in Public
In a private room in the Herbal Tower, Li Ye sat in front of Bai Lian to examine her face. Over the past three weeks, he had regularly monitored the progress of her healing. He smiled faintly when he saw that her skin had returned to its smooth, healthy state.“The results are excellent. Once this thin layer disappears, no one will ever suspect that your face was injured,” Li Ye said, praising the recovery of Bai Lian’s face.The girl smiled faintly. “It’s all thanks to you,” she said happily. Li Ye fell silent as he looked at her.“What is it?” Bai Lian asked in confusion.“Actually, when I first treated you, I thought Master Bai would be furious and come looking for me. But now I understand why he remained so calm.”Li Ye looked at Bai Lian seriously. “You hid the fact that you were receiving treatment from Master Bai, didn’t you?”Bai Lian immediately flinched in shock at his words.“I-I didn’t mean any harm. I, I just...” Bai Lian stammered nervously, unsure how to explain herself
Difficult Patient
The owner of the Thousand Treasures Shop smiled faintly and moved his finger. The ropes binding Li Ye came loose."Remember, a blood oath cannot be undone. If you break it, you could lose your life. I want to know if you're truly willing to take that risk."Li Ye stared at him sharply. Without hesitation, he channeled qi to his fingertip and cut into his other palm, drawing blood."I, Li Ye, hereby swear a blood oath. I will not do anything that could harm the current owner of this place, whoever that may be, as long as he does not harm me or the people around me," Li Ye declared firmly."If I break this oath, my body will be destroyed, and I will die a tragic death on the spot," he continued, tightening his grip.Swish!Li Ye was startled when the blood from his palm transformed into thin fragments that swirled around his body.Suddenly, an invisible pressure spread throughout the room, causing several objects inside the shop to tremble slightly. A few moments later, the blood fragme
A Blood Oath
Behind the shop’s worn-out counter, a man sat leisurely with his eyes closed, fanning himself.Li Ye stopped at the doorway and observed him for a moment. His fingers tightened around the small jar he was carrying before he stepped inside.A faint smile appeared on the Thousand Treasures Shopkeeper’s lips as he heard Li Ye’s approaching footsteps.“I haven’t invited you, yet here you are,” the man said without opening his eyes.Li Ye walked straight toward him and leaned against the counter separating them.“Senior came to visit me, so of course I had to come and thank you,” Li Ye said, causing the shopkeeper’s hand to pause briefly.The man opened his eyes and turned toward Li Ye, who was smiling at him. His eyebrows rose slightly, curious about Li Ye’s relaxed attitude.“My master asked me to give this to you as a gift, Senior,” Li Ye said, casually playing with the small jar in his hand.“A gift?” the shopkeeper repeated, eyeing the jar suspiciously. Li Ye gave a slight nod and hel
Unexpected Opportunity
While Bai Lian was still looking down at the face covering in her hands, a hat with a cloth veil was suddenly placed on her head.“For now, use this.”Bai Lian lifted her head. Behind the cloth veil fluttering gently over her face, a faint smile appeared as she saw Li Ye’s silhouette standing before her.“Thank you, Li Ye,” Bai Lian said sincerely.“You’ve been here for quite a while. Master Bai must be worried. Come on, I’ll take you home,” Li Ye said after making sure everything was in order.Bai Lian nodded in agreement. As they left the room to head to the Bai family residence, they happened to run into Ma Yuan.“Young Master, I was just about to look for you. There’s something I want to tell you,” Ma Yuan said, stopping Li Ye as he was about to leave. However, when he noticed the girl standing beside Li Ye, he looked at her with curiosity.“Master Ma, what did you want to tell me?” the young man asked, trying to divert Ma Yuan’s attention.“Ah, I
A Dangerous Treatment
Li Ye placed the knife he had been holding back on the table, then invited Bai Lian to sit in the chair opposite him. "Bai Lian, I promised I would treat you, didn't I?" Li Ye asked seriously. Bai Lian nodded nervously. "Actually, I'm going to burn the scar tissue on your face to remove the dead tissue. After that, I'll use several medicinal herbs I've prepared to help new tissue and skin grow," Li Ye explained. Bai Lian's fingers tightened around each other. Her lips trembled when she heard that Li Ye was going to burn the damaged tissue on her face. "Are you afraid?" Li Ye asked when the girl fell silent. "Trust me. I'll do my best to heal you." It would have been a lie for Bai Lian to claim she wasn't afraid, but she tried to hide her feelings. Her gaze shifted from the cloth that had previously wrapped Li Ye's injured hands to the various tools neatly arranged on the table. "Li Ye has worked so hard that he even got injured. How can I refuse him?" t
Truth Behind Her Concern
"Miss, slow down. The Herbal Tower isn't going to disappear," the maid said as she walked behind Bai Lian, prompting Bai Lian to turn toward her."Ever since I received Li Ye's last letter asking me not to worry and to wait patiently, I haven't heard from him at all. So how can you expect me to remain calm when he's finally sent me another letter asking me to meet him?" Bai Lian replied without slowing her pace as she headed toward the meeting room inside the Herbal Tower."Besides, the Bai residence isn't far from here. Why did Father ask you to follow me?" Bai Lian grumbled unhappily."What's so strange about a young lady going out with her maid?" the maid replied. Bai Lian snorted softly and ignored her.Once she arrived at the designated room, Bai Lian sat down in one of the chairs in the private room. She glanced around, feeling a little awkward."I never expected Li Ye to actually leave the Li residence and be able to stay here," Bai Lian thought in surprise as she examined her
