Chapter 566
In fact, he might die in her hands…
However, Nan Hua had no intention of asking and getting confirmation about this matter.
Sometimes, one was not sure but they asked instead in order to get the confirmation they needed. It was because of this that Nan Hua didn’t want to let Long Qian Xing got what he wanted.
“Did you get any wound?” Long Qian Xing asked as he sheathed his sword back.
Nan Hua looked at her hand and noticed that there was indeed a trail of blood red mark on her hands. Even with her speed, it was not possible to completely avoid Long Qian Xing’s attack. Though, the wounds were shallow and could be treated easily.
Long Qian Xing chuckled when he saw the young kid was silent in front of him. “Come with me to my tent. I have some medicine.”
“There’s no need for that, Young Commander Long.”
“I insist. You’re wounded because of my request.”
Was it really possible for one to not be wounded at all when they were fighting using real weapon like this?
Nan Hua was silent but she nodded.
The two of them went into Long Qian Xing’s tent and Nan Hua tactfully wait near the door. It was inappropriate for her to get too close and possibly disturb him. Long Qian Xing didn’t pay attention and went towards the small bag near his bed where he placed some of the medicines he had prepared.
‘This smell…’
Nan Hua swept her gaze across the tent before her eyes landed on the small table at the side. It was rare to have such complete furniture in a temporary tent like this. That small table had an incense stick on top of a small burner. Even though the incense stick was already so small that most of what was left was nothing but ashes, Nan Hua was familiar with that smell.
She had trained under her senior sister, who was very proficient in incense. It was only natural that she also knew the effects of the incense stick by smelling it.
‘It’s for sleeping?’
Her gaze was fixed on the incense stick as she felt that there were things that didn’t match up. The novel never mentioned anything about Long Qian Xing had to use any kind of incense in order to help him sleep. Or was it placed by other people who wanted to plot against Long Qian Xing?
But it was strange for Long Qian Xing to ignore it when it was placed so clearly. Not to mention, the smell of herbs was fairly apparent.
“Here’s the medicine.” Long Qian Xing turned around and noticed the young kid’s attention was on his incense burner. The corner of his lips curled up to form a faint smirk. He had heard that this young kid had medical skill and it seemed that it was true if ‘he’ could recognize what medicine he used.
“Thank you, Young Commander Long.”
Nan Hua noticed that Long Qian Xing didn’t release his grab from the medicine bottle. She looked at him in confusion, not knowing what he wanted to do with it.
“Did you notice the smell, Nan?”
He was sharp.
“Yes.”
“I see.”
It was only then Long Qian Xing released his grip on the small bottle. He looked at the incense stick on the table as his gaze softened a bit. “Please keep it a secret that I’m the one who use it. My fiancée seems to be under the impression that I bought the incense for my grandmother back then.”
Nan Hua: “…” your so called fiancée is right in front of you.
However, she would not reveal this point. Even though she felt that it was strange for Long Qian Xing to be using the incense stick, she knew that he didn’t pretend to use it. Based on the way the incense stick had been left behind, it must be from last night and not just now.
She knew that it should be either he had truly used it or someone used it when he was away.
Which would be stranger.
“Yes, Young Commander Long.”
Long Qian Xing waved his hand and Nan Hua left the tent. He looked at the incense burner in front of him as he recalled his little fiancée. She once asked him whether she could make some for him if he told her the medicines used.
However, he never told her.
“Young Master.”
“What is it?”
“Nan is a mysterious figure who only appeared occasionally. It’s hard to keep track of him and there’s no record of his existences before several months ago.”
“I see.” Long Qian Xing was not surprised. The fact that Nan was using a mask made him thought that Nan was Nan Luo’s body double. If that kid really had similar face and used to be nothing more than a commoner or orphan, it would be hard to find anything. This world’s information searching was definitely not as accurate as it would be in his original world.
No matter how much he had improved his group, there was still a limit.
“Young Master, wouldn’t it be dangerous if he leaks out your weakness?”
“Is there still anyone who didn’t know about my weakness?” Long Qian Xing asked in a mocking tone. After roaming on the battlefield for so many years, he had been using the same incense stick burner and there were traces.
It was impossible for other people not to smell it and even though he tried to erase his traces, there were still some left behind. Thus, he knew that there were already a lot of people who knew that he had to use incense if he wanted to sleep.
As for whether he could still wake up in the middle, not many people knew about it.
Those who knew had already died.
