My Master Is a Great Dragon, Clinging to Me Every Day! - Chapter 26

However, no matter how quickly Xu Zhiyi slipped away, she could not escape their eyes. Especially He Fengyue—she recognized Xu Zhiyi’s figure at once.

Furious, He Fengyue took several more steps away, distancing herself from Xiao Ling.

She wiped her lips with the back of her hand, as if she found it extremely disgusting, then glared at Xiao Ling.

“Great. Are you satisfied now? Xu Zhiyi saw us pulling and tugging like that. She’s definitely going to tell Master.”

“She has no filter on her mouth at all.”

Xiao Ling, on the other hand, did not seem to care. The only thing that did not match her stunningly beautiful face was the faint red mark left by He Fengyue’s slap.

“What happens between us is not something Xu Zhiyi has the right to interfere in.”

“Since your master told you to rest in seclusion, I’ll send you back.”

Xiao Ling drew her sword, pressed two fingers together, and had just been about to step onto it.

However, the moment she failed to keep watch, He Fengyue darted away and arrived in front of Xu Zhiyi’s window, attempting to push it open with her hand.

Xu Zhiyi, who was leaning against the window from the inside, felt the force behind her and quickly braced the window shut with both hands.

She kept feeling that after seeing such a scene, if she did not handle it properly, she might be killed to silence her!

Wasn’t Shangguan Rui supposed to be the male lead?

Looking at this situation, Xiao Ling seemed far more like the male lead!

Who had the good fortune to pin the female lead against a tree and kiss her? Anyway, it was not her.

“Xu Zhiyi, if you have the guts to peep, why don’t you have the guts to open the window!”

How bold! Please, this was her courtyard, all right? Xu Zhiyi wanted to cry but had no tears. If Xiao Ling had not still been there, she might not necessarily be afraid of that girl He Fengyue.

Feeling He Fengyue slap the window until it thumped loudly, Xu Zhiyi frowned and simply opened it.

It was not as if she was the one caught having an affair. Why should she be so scared?

The sudden opening of the window caught He Fengyue off guard, and she nearly fell inside. Fortunately, Xiao Ling, who had followed behind her, reacted quickly and pulled He Fengyue back.

She yanked her upright.

Then several pairs of eyes met, and an awkward atmosphere spread between them.

“What are you doing? This place… is my home.”

“Junior Sister, don’t you think you’re being a bit rude?”

Xu Zhiyi stiffened her neck and retorted, bracing both hands against the window.

How could someone barge into another person’s place and still act so arrogantly? She had not even asked why these two had started kissing in her courtyard.

“You were the ones sneaking around in my courtyard doing who knows what… If you keep this up… I’ll call Master over.”

Xu Zhiyi borrowed Master’s authority like a fox exploiting a tiger’s might. Sure enough, these words rendered He Fengyue somewhat speechless.

“This is between us… We can resolve it ourselves. Why would you call Master over?”

“And nothing happened between Xiao Ling and me just now. Remember that.”

Seeing how guilty she looked while trying to shut her mouth, Xu Zhiyi crossed her arms and gave He Fengyue a meaningful look.

This girl actually dared point at her.

Her black hair was stirred by the wind, and Xu Zhiyi raised her brows.

“I saw everything, you know~”

“I saw it very clearly. Do you want me to repeat it?”

“You…!”

He Fengyue’s face flushed bright red from anger. It was not as if she had wanted it herself. It had clearly been that damned woman Xiao Ling forcing her.

She was about to argue again.

Then a faint knock suddenly sounded at the door, instantly silencing all three of them.

Even Xu Zhiyi herself was confused. Who would come looking for her… It couldn’t be Elder Chiyan, right?

So soon? She had not even prepared yet! Xu Zhiyi felt that at the very least, she should call her master over first. Wasn’t it just calling a guardian? Who didn’t know how?

Ignoring the two standing nearby, Xu Zhiyi walked over and opened the door.

Taking this chance, He Fengyue quickly dragged Xiao Ling down into a crouch. She curled her hand into a fist and brought it to her red lips.

Then she coughed lightly twice.

“Don’t make a sound later… If it’s Master, that would be terrible.”

She did not want Master to know about such an embarrassing matter.

Seeing He Fengyue nervously tugging at her sleeve, Xiao Ling said nothing and crouched down as well. Because her sword sheath was too long and would hit the ground,

she simply took off her sword and held it in her arms. The two of them crouched beneath Xu Zhiyi’s window.

When the door opened, a familiar chill rushed toward her. Xu Zhiyi stared blankly at the person in front of her.

Master was holding a small porcelain bottle. Why had she turned back again?

“Yi’er, does your hand still hurt?”

Hadn’t she just asked this question earlier? Xu Zhiyi shook her head repeatedly, indicating that her hand no longer hurt.

“Master, please come in.”

“What tea would you like?”

Xu Zhiyi immediately walked over and picked up the teacup. The awkward events from before were still flashing through her mind, and this time, she absolutely had to prevent everything from happening.

She hurriedly brewed Master a cup of tea, gave a silly smile, and handed it over.

“There is no need to busy yourself. I only came by to take a look.”

Came by? Came by from where?

Xu Zhiyi was speechless. Master’s main hall was twists and turns away from here. Only if she had twisted her ankle would this be “on the way,” right?

“Your wound… I brought a bottle of ointment. It can dispel the fire intent left by a fire spiritual root, and it can also remove scars without leaving a mark.”

An Chengxi knew that Xu Zhiyi had always treasured her appearance. After returning to her own bedroom, she had held her brush, but had not even dealt with Shuanghan Peak’s official documents for the day.

All she could think about was the sight of Xu Zhiyi’s wound, bright red and raw. She could not help worrying about her.

This child had never known how to take care of herself since she was young, and she also rejected getting close to others.

After rummaging through her things, An Chengxi found this bottle of Jade Dew Loquat Ointment.

It had been left behind long ago by a cultivator from Medicine Immortal Valley who had traveled to the Yunling Sword Sect. It was very precious, but An Chengxi had no use for it.

Dragon scales were extraordinarily hard. Unless it was a divine weapon from the heavens, ordinary blades of the mortal world were no different from eggs striking stone against her.

So even after keeping it until now, she had never used it.

“Since you need it today, take it.”

Just hearing the name, it sounded like excellent medicine.

Xu Zhiyi’s heart thumped wildly. Master was giving her far too much. It was really hard not to be moved.

But she still politely refused with both hands.

“Master, this disciple’s wound… should heal in two or three days. There’s no need to use such precious ointment.”

“Master should keep it for yourself.”

It might be useful someday.

Pah, pah, pah. What kind of words was that? Xu Zhiyi hurriedly dismissed the thought, remembering what she had seen in the illustrated book.

Dragon scales were the hardest things in this world. Every dragon, after reaching adulthood, would even have a heart-protecting scale. Even artifacts from the divine realm could not break through a heart-protecting scale.

“If I tell you to take it, then take it.”

“Why are you being polite with Master? I know your body very well.”

Why did that sound strange?

Xu Zhiyi felt like her brain was about to derail.

Her hand was taken by Master once again, and the delicate little porcelain bottle was placed in her palm.

“Your performance today was very good.”

“Consider it Yi’er’s reward.”

Only by saying it like this would she accept it.
