Chapter 1216

“Is there an injury on your chest?” Nangong Xu asked from the other end of the phone.

“No, all the injuries are on the back, and based on the shape of the wound, the attacker must have struck from above downwards.”

Aside from heartache, Baili Xia felt even more anger: “Master, can you tell me…”

“No, there are many things even your master doesn’t know, but I do know that you must absolutely not inquire about it,” Nangong Xu said sternly.

Baili Xia pressed her lips together and did not ask further.

The relationship between her and her master is currently very good, usually, unless it’s something absolutely unspeakable, if she asks, Nangong Xu would respond.

Now that he’s so adamant, it shows that on this matter, she truly must not even touch it.

If she did, perhaps, Uncle would really leave her.

Still unable to restrain herself, she took a few more glances at that tall figure.

Grievances are always there, after all, being only half-aware of the matters surrounding the man she liked, how could she possibly feel good?

But, more than that, it was sympathy.

He must have suffered a lot of grievances and bitter hardships.

The world only sees his bright and powerful side, but who can see his grievances and pain?

“Master, what should we do now?” Not daring to touch Uncle’s secrets, she could only, first, take care of his health.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu refused my treatment last night, I think, this time he won’t let me interfere, if you…”

“He deliberately humiliated me last night, drove me out, and I…

I even slapped him.”

Silence, again silence, even Nangong Xu didn’t know how to solve it.

It took a long time before Nangong Xu spoke again: “I’ll focus on his diet.”

“I will also continue trying to get close to him, at least let him accept my treatment.”

Baili Xia sighed, “Master, after I return tonight, I need to come to your place to pick up some medicines to coat the silver needles.”

“I’ve prepared the needle and medicine for you, just come and take them,” Nangong Xu immediately replied.

“Master…” Actually, Baili Xia had a lot more she wanted to say to him, it’s just, she didn’t know how to start.

The blood in her body, Bei Miao, the Bei family, her origins…

The master must know something, after all, the first person who suggested her blood could detoxify was him.

But now, it’s really not convenient.

Baili Xia looked up ahead once more; Uncle and the others were already walking far away.

She clenched her phone and said to the person on the other end of the phone, “Then…

let’s talk when I come back tonight, help me prepare the needles and medicines.”

“Okay.”

…

In recent days, Baili Xia did not wait until nightfall and always ran to Sihai Residence.

Through soft coaxing and hard persuasion, eventually, Mu Xiaojiu agreed to let her administer acupuncture on him.

Nangong Xu focused on Mu Xiaojiu’s diet every day, personally delivering medicinal meals to the company.

A week later, his internal injuries had significantly improved, and his complexion had completely recovered as well.

But despite this, Mu Xiaojiu’s attitude towards Baili Xia was still lukewarm.

Neither cold nor hot, and throughout all this time, he never again came to see her at night voluntarily.

Probably, Baili Xia herself could sense that he was truly distancing himself.

Truly, this time, it wasn’t just for show.

Feeling disheartened, everything she did felt somewhat exhausting, thankfully, the end-of-term exams were approaching.

Exams always came in bursts, one after the other.

When the exam month arrived, everyone was busy reviewing.

Being busy was good, at least, there was no time to think about all those complicated issues.
