The temperature at night was much lower than during the day. Despite wearing a thick cloak and holding a warming stove in her arms, Su Yuanyuan still felt the cold wind seeping in from all directions. However, her heart was not cold; instead, it was warm.
At this moment, there was no one around. She recalled the sudden reminder that rang in her ear today, tapped on Xiao Ba, and asked,
"Xiao Ba, do you still remember that when Uncle Qin thanked me today, you suddenly reminded me that I had earned some points? What's going on? Didn't you say that only your master could earn points by treating the sick and saving the dying? And I didn't see my points increase when I treated Master Jiao and Hong Li before."
Xiao Ba replied, "Actually, Xiao Ba was also very surprised. When Su Qingyu treated people before, there was never a reminder of points increase."
That was really strange.
"Could it be that the system has changed after the jade pendant was replaced with the wooden rabbit?" Su Yuanyuan wondered.
Xiao Ba analyzed, "Xiao Ba guesses that when the master forcibly separated Xiao Ba, she should have set up a protection program to prevent Xiao Ba from falling into the hands of those with ulterior motives. For example, Xiao Ba was forcibly bound to Su Qingyu at that time, and her purpose of treating the sick and saving the dying was not pure, so the points did not increase."
"But Yuan Bao is different. Xiao Ba voluntarily formed a contract with Yuan Bao. Yuan Bao also intended to learn medicine out of kindness, and she didn't rely entirely on Xiao Ba. She not only actively studied medical books but also actively formulated prescriptions. So she was recognized by the master."
"If that's the case, I should have earned points when I treated Hong Li's face. Why is there a reminder now?"
Xiao Ba was stuck for a moment and said, "Maybe the trigger condition is to cure a dying person? If little Yuan Bao still has doubts, why not find an opportunity to treat others again to see if you can earn points normally?"
Actually, what Xiao Ba didn't tell Su Yuanyuan was that since it learned that Cang Xuan was the master's son and Cang Xuan and Su Yuanyuan had feelings for each other, it had already recognized Su Yuanyuan as the new "host" from the bottom of its heart.
After hearing this, Su Yuanyuan couldn't help but sigh, "I'm becoming more and more curious about your master. What kind of person is Brother Yun Jian's mother? What kind of danger did she encounter that made her separate you from her body and set such restrictions? She not only knows medicine but also can make mechanisms and hidden weapons. She must be a prodigy."
Xiao Ba said proudly, "Of course! My master is the most amazing woman in the world! Cang Xuan is the master's son. He can learn the master's mechanism skills by self - study. He is also a prodigy!"
Su Yuanyuan found it funny in her heart. Before, Xiao Ba said that Cang Xuan was a cunning man, but after learning that he was the master's son, it began to boast about him.
However, she also thought that Brother Yun Jian was the most amazing person in the world.
When she arrived outside the Junyi Pavilion, Su Yuanyuan saw the lights on inside.
She walked in, pushed open the door, and saw Cang Xuan lying on the couch with his eyes closed. It seemed that he was already asleep.
The man's appearance was extremely handsome. His long, inky hair was scattered beside his body. His robe was probably messed up when he was drinking, revealing his slender neck. At first glance, his peerless appearance made Su Yuanyuan's heart skip a beat involuntarily.
Su Yuanyuan subconsciously held her breath. She casually put the sobering soup on the table, then tiptoed quietly towards him.
Moving little by little in front of Cang Xuan, Su Yuanyuan squatted down, holding her face with both hands, and looked at Cang Xuan's face up close.
Who said that only men were fond of good looks? Women were also fond of good looks.
The more Su Yuanyuan looked, the more she felt that the face in front of her was exactly to her liking. Whether he was indifferent, raising his eyebrows playfully to look at people, or being naughty, it always tugged at her heartstrings.
What she liked most was his pair of eyes, which were radiant and sparkling, like fine jewels.
She thought that she would never forget the scene when she woke up in this body and escaped from the cold lake. She saw him in the pavilion.
The man was looking up and drinking. The liquid in the wine pot dripped from the corner of his lips, sliding across his chin and his prominent Adam's apple, disappearing into his collar. There was a hint of drunkenness in his sparkling eyes, as if he had crushed the stars in the sky. He didn't look like a mortal but like a demon who had strayed into the world.
Just like now.
Now?
Su Yuanyuan was startled and found that Cang Xuan had opened his eyes at some point. His drunken eyes were staring straight at her. Her wrist tightened. The sudden force pulled her forward. Her vision spun. Her back hit a hard object. When she looked closely, she found that she was lying on the couch, and the man who had been sleeping with his eyes closed was propping himself above her.
Her wrist was grasped by one of his hands and held above her head. The man's long, inky hair slipped from his shoulders and intertwined with hers, as if they were about to merge into one. Her nose was filled with the unique sandalwood scent on him, leaving her nowhere to escape.
This feeling of being completely enveloped by a person made Su Yuanyuan feel panicked and timid. The man's direct gaze even made her heart tremble.
Cang Xuan looked down at her, hooked the corner of his lips, and asked, "You've been looking for so long. What were you looking at?"
His voice was lazy and hoarse, which made Su Yuanyuan's ears turn red. She tried to move her wrist slightly and said, "Brother Yun Jian, you're holding me so tightly. It hurts."
But her complaint didn't earn her the man's pity. Instead, he tightened his grip a little. His other hand hooked her chin, and he leaned down. Their noses touched, and he whispered, "You know it hurts. That's right. If the bandits who blocked the road today were really murderous robbers, and you were with a group of delicate young ladies who couldn't even tie up a chicken, do you know what the consequences would be?"
"Is it worth spending so much energy on an unrelated person? Are you really that fond of meddling?"
Su Yuanyuan was a little annoyed. He had been very straightforward when he agreed to help and hadn't said anything. Why was he now calculating things with her? Could it be that he was so unreasonable after drinking?
Following her nature and looking at his pair of enchanting eyes like glass that were so close, Su Yuanyuan said, "Of course it's worth it. Making good karma, doing good deeds, and getting good results can bring blessings to oneself and one's family."
"Didn't Brother Yun Jian save my body because he meddled in other people's business? That's how I was able to come back to life."
"Because of Brother Yun Jian, I got a pair of eyes that can see fortune. In order to repay Brother Yun Jian, I'm going to avoid all disasters for Brother Yun Jian. This is the good result."
Thinking of the change in the halo between his eyebrows, Su Yuanyuan's eyes sparkled, and she said proudly,
"I said before that the fortune between your eyebrows was so dark and thick that it was shocking. Now it has faded a lot, and some white light has appeared. Do you know what that is?"
She played a little mystery and said briskly, "That's vitality. Brother Yun Jian, with me here, one day, you will also have smooth luck and a long life."
Cang Xuan laughed. Their noses rubbed affectionately, and he murmured, "The Princess of Good Fortune is full of good fortune. It seems that I really need to get more of it in the future."
After saying that, he lowered his head and sealed her lips.
