The two chatted for a long time due to their injuries.
It wasn’t until Bai Qiu was called by Lan Ningshaung; it seemed the latter needed her for something.
Before leaving, she instructed Second Brother, “Apply the medicine on your wounds again tonight, and your injuries will heal.”
“Oh, by the way, I still don’t know your name yet?”
“My name is Qin An.” the Second Brother replied.
“Qin An, what a good name.” Bai Qiu exclaimed with a smile, silently remembering the name in her heart.
“No, your name sounds better.” the Second Brother chuckled shyly.
The two glanced at each other and awkwardly lowered their heads.
“Are you two acting in an idol drama here?” Qin Feng, glancing at the two in front of him, commented sarcastically.
At this moment, Lan Ningshuang called out again from outside the corridor.“Sister Ningshaung seems to be looking for me. I’ll go first, okay?” Bai Qiu pointed in the direction of the corridor.
“Sure, Miss Bai.” the Second Brother waved his right hand in farewell. Even after Bai Qiu’s figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, he still didn’t retract his gaze.
“Don’t stare, Second Brother, she’s already gone.” Qin Feng teased with a raised eyebrow.
“Huh?” The Second Brother snapped back to reality, looking somewhat embarrassed.
At this moment, Black Charcoal Head exclaimed, “Eh? Young Master, take a look. The external injuries on Second Young Master’s body are already scabbing over!”
Qin Feng, following his gaze, saw that the wounds on his Second Brother’s body, caused by the earlier collision with the fake mountain, were visibly healing at an astonishing rate.
Previously, he only focused on the look between his second brother and the little girl.
He hadn’t noticed how incredible the healing effect of this medicine was.
“Second Brother, let me see the medicine bottle.”
“Oh, Big Brother, here.”
Qin Feng took the medicine bottle, opened the bottle and sniffed. The scent of medicine was rich, accompanied by a faint plum blossom fragrance.
After carefully examining the ointment in the bottle for a while, he came to the final conclusion, surprised, “This medicine is actually White Plum Ointment?”
“White Plum Ointment? Young Master, what is that?” Black Charcoal Head asked curiously.
“Have you heard of the Sword Emperor City in the Eastern Territory of the Great Qian?”
Black Charcoal Head nodded. Who in the Great Qian didn’t know about the Sword Emperor City, one of the three major sword sects, ruled by the peerless Sword Emperor?
Qin Feng explained, “About sixty miles south of the Sword Emperor City, there is a mountain called White Plum Mountain.”
On the mountain, there is an abundance of white plum blossoms. These blossoms are pure white, resembling the first snow of winter. When ground into powder and applied externally to wounds, they have a rapid healing effect.
Therefore, in the Sword Emperor City, there are physicians who blend this white plum blossom with various medicinal herbs, creating a special healing medicine known as White Plum Ointment.
“This little girl is indeed worthy of being the direct disciple of the sect master of the Myriad Swords Sect. She even managed to obtain this.”
Suddenly, he thought of something. “Wait a minute, if I’m not mistaken, the Sword Emperor of the Sword Emperor City is also surnamed Bai. When this little girl mentioned Flowing Firefly and mentioned the word ‘father,’ and considering the renowned White Plum Ointment of the Sword Emperor City, could it be…”
After a moment, Qin Feng laughed again, somewhat self-deprecatingly, “I must be overthinking it. If she really is the daughter of the Sword Emperor, why would she come all the way to the Southern Domain Myriad Swords Sect to seek the Sword Dao and be accepted as the direct disciple by the sect master?”
The absurdity of this situation is like an employee wearing a KFC uniform helping customers order meals inside a McDonald’s. It is awkward no matter how you look at it.
He returned the medicine bottle and said, “Little brother, according to what she said, apply it again tonight. With the healing effect of the White Plum Ointment, by this time tomorrow, there won’t even be any scars.”
The Second Brother put away the medicine bottle, carefully examined it for a moment, and then touched the back of his head, smiling, “This is just a superficial injury. It will heal in a few days. Let’s save this excellent healing medicine for later use.”
Qin Feng, upon hearing this, smiled with some hidden meaning, “Could it be that you’re reluctant to use it because it was given by that little girl?”
The Second Brother’s handsome face immediately turned red, “Big Brother, don’t talk nonsense. It’s not like that.”
“Oh? That’s a pity. I was thinking of trying to match you two together. Since you’re not interested, forget it then.” Qin Feng pretended to turn around and leave, but his right sleeve was suddenly pulled.
Looking sideways, he saw his Second Brother blushing and whispering, “Big Brother, maybe you can ask for me.”
Bai Qiu followed Lan Ningshaung to the house where Liu Jianli was located, chatting incessantly along the way.
This was within Lan Ningshaung’s expectations. After all, the temperament of this little girl was like this.
But in the past, Bai Qiu’s questions were either about her or about Miss.
Yet in just a short while, the topics mentioned by the little girl changed.
“That Qin Feng is really annoying, his mouth is like it has no filter, saying everything out loud. He actually said I eat a lot, but I only had less than forty plates last night. By the way, Sister Ninghsuang, I saw another person in the courtyard just now. It seems to be his Second Brother, named Qin An. How much do you know about him?”
“He can actually make an high-level knife recognize him as its master; his talent in knife art must be extraordinary.”
“Even Senior Mad Blade, one of the Twelve Divine Generals, took him as his disciple and left him with a knife intent for him to comprehend. He will surely become famous in the Great Qian.”
“I just don’t know if he’s married yet.” When asking this question, Bai Qiu’s face blushed, and she looked somewhat embarrassed.
Having read many romantic novels, Lan Ningshaung finally reacted at this moment. She stopped in surprise and said, “Bai Qiu, could it be that you’ve developed feelings for the second young master of the Qin family?”
Bai Qiu blushed at the words, “No, that’s not it.”
“Really none?” Lan Ningshuang expressed doubt.
“Really none!” Her face blushed, hastily steering away from the topic and asked, “By the way, Sister Ningshuang, why did you ask me to come back?”
“Miss will return to the Myriad Sword Sect in a few days, and we will go back together then.” Lan Ningshuang seemed to recall something and sighed.
“What?” Bai Qiu was stunned.
The snowfall continued intermittently until dusk before finally stopping.
The accumulated snow had reached ankle height, and some excited maids and servants walked on the snow, leaving deep footprints with each step.
Even in the cold winter, with the cold wind stiffening their limbs, they paid no mind.
Qin Feng reached out and brushed the window sill outside, forming a solid snowball with a grab and squeeze.
He noticed Qing’er outside, threw the snowball at her, then quickly ducked and hid.
Accompanied by a crisp exclamation, the outside of the house instantly became lively, filled with flying snowballs and the joyous laughter of everyone.
After confirming that no one would suspect him, Qin Feng leaned against the window, looked at the scenery outside, and smiled faintly.
In his previous life, the two things he looked forward to the most on snowy days were having a snowball fight with friends and building a tall snowman.
Simple yet heartwarming.
Now the snowball fight was in progress, but there was still no snowman.
“It’s rare to have such heavy snow. How about…” Qin Feng’s eyes lit up. He wrapped himself in his coat and hastily walked out of the house.
