What Do You Call a Benevolent and Reasonable Person in Xianxia? An Impossibility!

Moreover, the most important point was that in the moment when Xiao Yan’s fist collided with Jia Lie Bi’s claw, Xiao Yu keenly noticed a strange white light flash on the ring on Xiao Yan’s chest.

Although there was no concrete evidence, Xiao Yu’s intuition told her that it was thanks to this white light that Xiao Yan’s arm was saved from being shattered.

With this question in her heart, Xiao Yu followed the others back to the Xiao Clan, carrying the unconscious Xiao Yan on her back.

Since today’s training had just ended, the young members of the Xiao Clan were resting in their own rooms, unaware of what had just transpired. Otherwise, considering the temperament of the Xiao Clan’s members, led by Xiao Yan, they might have rushed to the Jia Lie clan to cause trouble upon seeing the pitiful state Xiao Yan was in now.

“Xiao Yu, I just checked, and Yan’er’s injuries are not serious. As long as he rests peacefully for a while, he’ll be fine,” Xiao Zhan said calmly, with his hands behind his back, as he looked at Xiao Yu. “Those children have just come down from the mountain and also need to rest. There’s no need to disturb them. I entrust Yan’er to your care.”

“Don’t worry, Clan Leader. I will take good care of Xiao Yan,” Xiao Yu nodded and assured him. She then carried Xiao Yan to his bedroom, under the watchful gazes of Xiao Zhan and the first elder, and gently laid him on the bed. She rummaged through the room, found a medicine box, and carefully applied medicine to Xiao Yan after he had changed his torn clothes, ensuring he was covered with a blanket. She then pulled a chair from the table to sit by the bed, quietly gazing at Xiao Yan’s sleeping face.

After a year of absence, Xiao Yan’s face had lost some of its youthful appearance, and his resolute countenance made him seem two or three years older than his actual age.

Although Xiao Yu was shocked by Xiao Yan’s brutal actions at the Jia Lie clan, she didn’t feel the slightest fear towards him. On the contrary, she felt a warm feeling deep in her heart.

Xiao Yan had done all of this for her.

When she returned to the Xiao Clan, she had been harassed by the Jia Lie clan in the Xiao Clan market district. Thanks to her own outstanding strength, the Jia Lie clan didn’t succeed in their intentions, and she returned safely.

According to normal logic, this matter should have been considered resolved.

After all, Xiao Yu hadn’t been harmed, and the Jia Lie clan members had been severely beaten by her and the Xiao Clan guards, they had received their punishment.

But Xiao Yan didn’t see it that way.

Xiao Yu knew well that when she revealed the Jia Lie clan’s attempt to abduct her, Xiao Yan’s first thought would have been of a different outcome.

What if Xiao Yu hadn’t fought them off? What if Xiao Yu had really been abducted by Jia Lie Ao and his men? What if something had happened to Xiao Yu?

Xiao Yan must have been scared of that possibility.

And that was why he was so furious.

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Yan, smiled faintly, and gently touched his face with her hand.

For Xiao Yan, if something truly happened to herself, it would be too late to undo anything. No matter what he did, it would be irreparable.

Just like that time, the first and only time he revealed his cruel side in front of the Xiao Clan’s members.

Oh, wait.

Xiao Yu corrected herself in her mind.

Including today, it was the second time.

But unlike the previous time, the previous time was for the sake of all his brothers and sisters in the Xiao Clan, while this time, it was only for herself.

‘Now that I think about it, it’s a little bit satisfying~’

Xiao Yu smiled softly and looked at Xiao Yan, who was sleeping peacefully, with gentle eyes.

It’s because she has such an outstanding boy like him by her side that she can’t be interested in any other man in the academy.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu’s gaze caught sight of the ring on Xiao Yan’s chest, the same ring she had seen with a strange white light at the Jia Lie clan. Her eyebrows furrowed tightly.

She knew that this ring was a memento from Xiao Yan’s mother and logically shouldn’t have any issues.

However, there was something that should have been noticed but hadn’t been, making Xiao Yu suspicious.

The timing of Xiao Yan losing his Dou Qi coincided with the time he started wearing this ring!

In other words, there might be a significant connection between Xiao Yan losing his Dou Qi three years ago and this ring!

With one hand supporting the bed and the other gently lifting the ring on Xiao Yan’s chest, Xiao Yu formed a bold speculation in her mind.

If it was indeed this ring that absorbed Xiao Yan’s Dou Qi before, if it was truly this ring that protected Xiao Yan at the Jia Lie clan, then this ring might possess self-awareness!

Embracing this speculation, Xiao Yu stared intensely at the ring and said in a cold voice,

“Come out, I know you’re in there.”
