Chapter 1273 That's why he jumped off the cliff to save me?
When Wenren Qichi heard Feng Qi's question, he paused for a moment, as if he didn't know how to explain.
"I...."
"Minister Wenren, were you afraid that if I died, Sister Yue would be heartbroken and in pain? You were worried that she would be hurt, and you also knew that she had just recovered, so you jumped off the cliff to save me?" Feng Qi said with a light laugh.
After Feng Qi hit the nail on the head, Wenren Qichi pursed his lips somewhat uncomfortably and said, "Stop trying to glorify yourself. It doesn't matter whether you live or die, but you can't implicate Lady Su. She has finally recovered after so long of rest, and now she's overly heartbroken because of you. You can't escape the blame."
"You have the nerve to try and guess what I'm thinking?"
"Miss Su is so worried and distressed because of the counterfeit money case, and you are not even of age yet, not even Miss Su's husband, and you're already making her worry about you. How dare you be so smug in front of me? Aren't you ashamed?"
Hearing his hurtful words, Feng Qi snorted coldly: "You...you're not worried about Sister Yue being sad, you're worried that Sister Yue's health is not good and you can't see her because she doesn't go out, and you're anxious about it."
"You want to see Sister Yue so much, and you want to marry Sister Yue, but according to her thinking, even if you see her, she won't marry you! Otherwise, when you helped Brother Xu, Sister Yue would have let you into the family."
Hearing Feng Qi's hurtful words, Wenren Qichi angrily exhaled and pointed at him, saying, "Feng Qi, you're just a commoner now, can't you say nice things? I'm your savior. Look at my hands. If I hadn't held you back, my hands would be strangled like this."
“Your bones were almost broken. With the combined weight of you and Xingwu, I risked my life to grab onto those vines and save you.”
After speaking, Wenren Qichi stretched out his hand, revealing a deep, bloody wound on his palm that looked extremely frightening.
Feng Qi looked at his hand and was speechless. Her tone softened, and she said gently, no longer trying to stab him in the back, "Thank you for saving me and Xing Wu."
"You know I saved you, but don't just talk about it. I'll be asking for a reward later. You should think carefully about what your life is worth."
Upon hearing Wenren Qichi's words, Feng Qi angrily asked, "What do you want?"
Seeing Feng Qi's face turn angry again, Wenren Qichi breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject: "Xing Wu's injuries have all been bandaged, but his internal injuries are more troublesome. I can transfer some of my internal energy to him, but..."
“Save your inner strength. We’re at the bottom of this cliff, and we don’t know how to get out. Your abundant inner strength is the safest thing for us. As long as Xing Wu can survive, that’s good enough,” Feng Qi interrupted Wenren Qichi.
"Okay, I've given him one pill for internal injuries. Judging from his condition, he should wake up in about an hour."
After Wenren Qichi finished speaking, he moved to the side, picked up the medicine next to him and poured it directly onto the wound on his palm. With his other hand, he took out a bandage and pressed it against the wound. He lowered his head and prepared to bite the side of the wound, ready to bandage it.
Feng Qi watched his movements and felt a chill run down her spine. With such a large wound, didn't he... feel any pain?
The next second, his hand grabbed the bandage: "I'll help you, Minister Wenren. You're a civil official, right? This..."
Feng Qi looked at Wenren Qichi, whose face had changed color. The only change was the cold sweat beading on his forehead. He was so good at enduring it. He didn't seem like a scholar-official family at all.
Upon hearing Feng Qi's question, Wenren Qichi exhaled and chuckled, "It is true that the Wenren family is a family of civil officials, but the children of the family must practice martial arts from a young age, because only with a good body can one live a long life."
"The clan chooses the next head of the family only if they meet all the standards and are better than anyone else. That's why, even though I have a younger sister, I was ultimately chosen to be the next head of the Wen family."
Feng Qi bent down to bandage him, listening to his words, and asked curiously, "Will your future child be the next head of the Wen family?"
"I don't know. The next head of the family will be chosen from the offspring of my younger siblings, but the one who can inherit the position of head of the family must bear the surname of Wenren."
"You didn't choose Sister Yue just for the sake of having offspring, did you? After all, she's willing to let her child take the father's surname."
"I chose Lady Su before partly because she had more children. After all, the entire Fengdu watched Lady Su give birth to one child after another, and she even gave birth to such a young lady. Who wouldn't be tempted?"
"But after this experience, I feel even more that offspring aren't that important. What touches me most is someone who cares about you. I envy Lady Su's sincerity towards her husband. I..."
Before Wenren Qichi could finish speaking, he stood up with a chilling aura and subconsciously threw the dart from his sleeve.
As Feng Qi sensed Wenren Qichi's movements, her fingers clenched tightly, she held her breath, her mind in turmoil. Could it be that those assassins in black had found them?
Faint sounds came from outside, and the next second a murderous aura entered the cave. Cheng Rong appeared in the cave and even started fighting with Wenren Qichi.
Seeing Cheng Rong's condition, Feng Qi anxiously shouted, "Cheng Rong, stop hitting him! This is Minister Wenren; he saved me and Xing Wu."
Upon hearing Feng Qi's voice, Cheng Rong turned around to avoid Wenren Qichi's killing move, stopped her attack, flashed to his side, and after giving Wenren Qichi a deep look, looked at Feng Qi.
"Is Young Master Qi injured? Or is he feeling unwell anywhere?"
"I'm fine, it's just that my five injuries are quite severe."
Cheng Rong saw Xing Wu lying on the side covered in blood, squatted down, held his wrist, took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve, poured out a pill, and fed it to him.
He sat down behind him, placed his palm on his back, and channeled his inner energy into Xing Wu's body. In an instant, Xing Wu's complexion visibly became a little rosier.
The next second, Xingwu vomited blood.
Cheng Rong withdrew her hand from his back and gently patted his back.
"Fifth Brother, you're really lucky. If you hadn't run into me tonight, even if you had been saved later, your inner strength would have been depleted. Hurry up and thank me," Cheng Rong teased with a smile.
Xingwu had just woken up, and his body was tense for a moment, but when he heard Chengrong's voice, he immediately relaxed and said weakly, "Then thank you very much, Chengrong. When we get back, if Chengshi makes glutinous rice dumplings, I'll give you my share."
"You're the one who said it. If you don't give it to me, you're a little dog," Cheng Rong said with a smile.
I'm so happy to have gotten a free glutinous rice ball.
