- Chapter 28 - But She Really Is a Spy
It wasn’t surprising that Wuyou would think this way.
Because there were many men and women who wanted to get close to Dongfang Wuchen, yet only this one had gotten close to him and was even carried back to the manor in his arms.
Wuyou was worried that Yun Dan might be a spy who had infiltrated their ranks and could be harmful to Dongfang Wuchen.
If she really was a spy, it would be better not to treat her.
Although Wuyou could be considered a renowned physician.
But this didn’t mean he would save just anyone.
This visit to Mingyue Manor was also to take Dongfang Wuchen’s pulse, as this was something he had promised to do.
Dongfang Wuchen quickly explained.
“How could she possibly be a spy? I already checked her pulse on the road. Because I was worried about injuries to other parts of her body, I discovered that this person has no internal energy at all, nor any martial arts skills.
If she really were a spy, what good would it do for such a person to get close to me? Besides, a real spy wouldn’t be able to get in front of me. She’s just an ordinary girl. Everything that happened today was because of me – she encountered these undeserved disasters because of me, so you must treat her.
Don’t suspect her of being a spy – she’s just a young girl. When I met her, she was in a teahouse selecting which tea would taste good. I was the one who spoke to her first, and only then did she notice me.”
“If I hadn’t taken the initiative to talk to her and recommend tea, she definitely wouldn’t have spoken to me. And she got injured because of me – those black-clothed men were coming for me. So Wuyou, how could such an ordinary girl possibly be a spy?”
After hearing Dongfang Wuchen’s explanation, Wuyou vaguely felt there was something suspicious about this matter, but couldn’t say exactly what.
Because what Dongfang Wuchen analyzed did seem quite reasonable. After all, he had also checked Yun Dan’s pulse just now, and she indeed had no internal energy and knew no martial arts.
To say she was a spy would really be far-fetched.
Wuyou shook his head and decided not to think about these things anymore.
The most urgent matter now was to quickly treat the person.
Although the wound was located on the shoulder and wouldn’t injure vital meridians, if time dragged on and too much blood was lost, it could still endanger her life.
The pain from the wound made Yun Dan unconsciously furrow her brow.
She had actually been awake for a while, but since the two of them were talking, she didn’t feel comfortable waking up at that moment to disturb their conversation.
Moreover, those two were discussing whether she was a spy, so she absolutely had to endure it.
But this person didn’t know if he was doing it on purpose – his movements while treating the wound were very rough, making Yun Dan unable to bear it any longer.
Fortunately, Yun Dan still remembered that she was now dependent on others’ charity and had been labeled as a suspected spy, so she absolutely couldn’t be too direct.
She furrowed her brow and pretended to have just awakened.
Upon seeing the young man beside her treating her wound, she pretended to look very panicked and struggled to sit up.
“You… you are…”
However, as soon as she sat up, she accidentally pulled at the wound on her shoulder, making Yun Dan cry out in pain.
“Ouch, my shoulder hurts so much.”
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Wuchen’s guilt surged up again.
He quickly stepped forward, pushed Wuyou aside, and sat down beside Yun Dan’s bed before apologizing, “I’m sorry, Miss Yun Dan. Everything you encountered today was because of me, so I will definitely take responsibility for your injury to the end.
This is Mingyue Manor, and I am Dongfang Wuchen, the young manor master of Mingyue Manor. I didn’t reveal too much in front of you earlier because I didn’t want to complicate matters. But since you were injured because of me, I cannot ignore it.”
If conditions allowed, Yun Dan really wanted to say: Big brother, you’re really a good person!
But considering there was still an outsider present, it was better to restrain herself.
After all, she really was a spy.
Yun Dan looked toward Wuyou on the side, wanting to greet him, so she asked, “This person is…”
Wuyou now seemed somewhat awkward, his hands unconsciously rubbing together, not knowing where to put them for a moment.
Dongfang Wuchen, seeing him like this, quickly spoke up to help him out. “His name is Wuyou, and we’ve known each other for many years. Wuyou is a disciple of the Divine Physician Sect with excellent medical skills. Your wound was just treated by Wuyou. He’s rather shy, so please don’t mind.”
Yun Dan of course knew that her wound had been treated by Wuyou.
She didn’t know if he had some grudge against her – he used such force when treating the wound, as if it were intentional.
However, Yun Dan didn’t feel comfortable asking about it, so she could only nod and say, “My name is Yun Dan. Thank you both for saving me.”
But she had to play the act completely.
Yun Dan lifted the blanket and struggled to get out of bed.
“Since my wound has been treated, I think it’s better if I leave.”
Dongfang Wuchen inwardly cried out that this was bad, thinking that Yun Dan must have heard what Wuyou said earlier, and immediately felt regretful.
She had been injured because of him, yet was still suspected of being a spy, so if he were Yun Dan, he would certainly be unhappy too.
So if he let her leave at this moment, Dongfang Wuchen felt he would never be able to face Yun Dan again for the rest of his life.
He immediately pressed Yun Dan back down.
“You’re not allowed to leave. If you’re injured, stay here and recover properly. What are you trying to prove? This manor is so large, I can certainly afford to support my lifesaver. Besides, if it weren’t for you, that sword might have pierced my body. No matter what, it’s because of me that you’re like this, so you’re not allowed to leave until your injury heals.”
The force with which Dongfang Wuchen pressed on her shoulder was so great that Yun Dan couldn’t help crying out in pain.
“It hurts, it hurts, my shoulder hurts.”
Only then did Dongfang Wuchen realize that her wounds were all on her shoulder.
And he had just been gripping her shoulder the whole time, no wonder her complexion looked so poor.
He immediately felt regretful.
“I’m sorry, Miss Yun Dan. I’ve never interacted with women before, I… I didn’t know girls would be so delicate. Just now I forgot you were still injured. Are you alright now?”
Yun Dan shook her head and said, “I’m fine, thank you, Young Master Dongfang. I appreciate your kind intentions, but it’s really not appropriate for me to stay here. Moreover, I happen to need to open a shop now, so I can recover from my injuries on my own.”
How could Dongfang Wuchen agree to this upon hearing it.
“No, you cannot leave here until your injury heals. You were injured because of me. What if… I mean, what if you’re in mortal danger or something, Wuyou is still in the manor, so having him watch over you would be safer.”
After thinking for a long time, Dongfang Wuchen could only come up with such a crude reason, not knowing whether Yun Dan would agree.
