Chapter 923: Thought He Had Misheard

en did Old Zong speak slowly, “The village head is right. Our family shouldn’t drink water if no one works.”"I know the village opened the sluice gates to release water today, so I didn't come.""I did...Fang Jinxiu quickly found Zhao Xingzhou, who was struggling against a killer. Although he wasn't losing, it was clear that he was finding it difficult to cope.

The assassin's moves were ruthless and deadly. Zhao Xingzhou parried them, but he hadn't expected the other party to have barely used their full strength in their previous exchange.

This took him by surprise, causing him to stumble back two steps. The assassin's blade was about to fall on him when Fang Jinshi hurriedly used his old trick and fired a cold arrow from the shadows.

The assassin Zhao Xingzhou fought was more formidable than the one Zong Bai had encountered earlier. Although his sleeve arrow caught the opponent off guard, he quickly recovered, drawing his sword and changing direction to run towards Fang Jinshu's side.

Thanks to Fang Jinshu's intervention, Zhao Xingzhou had a chance to catch his breath. He quickly got up and caught up.

Before the assassin could find Fang Jinxiu, he engaged in another fight with him. The internal injuries Zhao Xingzhou sustained had a significant impact on him. He knew that Fang Jinxiu was the one who had just saved him.

Zhao Xingzhou gritted his teeth, putting all his strength into repelling the assassin with a fierce determination.

He suddenly erupted, using this reckless fighting style. Even assassins value their lives, let alone him tonight whose target wasn't this man.

After being wounded by Zhao Xingzhou, the assassin quickly fled. Zhao Xingzhou wanted to pursue him, but Fang Jinshu stopped him.

"That's enough, stop chasing."

She quickly walked out of the darkness and steadied Zhao Xingzhou who was about to fall.

"Come with me."

She led the person to a hidden place, where there was still an undamaged trap. These assassins didn't just indiscriminately kill anyone upon entering; it seemed they were looking for something.

Fang Jinshu guessed that Yuan Buyu's order to them was to eliminate their whole family, so they were unwilling to entangle with the guards of the mountain villa and should be looking for them.

"You, how did you get out" Zhao Xingzhou frowned deeply.

The moment Fang Jinshu appeared, Zhao Xingzhou's heart nearly stopped. He struggled to suppress the excitement surging within him.

On second thought, that just now was so dangerous. If he had reacted any slower, things could have turned out badly and maybe Jinyu would have been hurt.

The thought of it filled him with excitement, which quickly turned into deep concern.

"Why do you have to come out We can handle it outside."

"I said, I would never let them hurt you."

Fang Jinshi didn't say a word and took out a pill, holding it before him. "Take this."

Zhao Xingzhou was taken aback and instinctively shook his head.

Fan Jinxiu's medical skills were renowned, and her medicine was unparalleled in the world, surpassing the quality of any doctor's concoctions from other clinics.

Such good stuff, to give it to him would be a waste.

"Keep this medicine with you. It's just a minor injury, I'm fine."

He had several colorful bruises on him, probably from Fang Jinshui smelling the blood.

"I know everything." Fang Jinxiu suddenly spoke.

“As a doctor, do you really think I wouldn't notice your internal injuries haven’t healed”

Zhao Xingzhou stared at her, his heart suddenly beating wildly out of control.

She came out because she knew her inner wounds hadn't healed yet!

This thought struck Zhao Xingzhou hard, for a moment he even felt his mind go blank.

Fang Jinshu took advantage of his dazed moment and shoved the pill directly into his mouth.

"If you dare to spit it out, I'll kick you out."

Back then, she single-handedly developed Jinshiu Mountain Villa. She faced countless difficulties along the way. One time, she received clear information that several waves of bandits had joined forces to attack the villa and seize its resources.

In the end, only thirty or so people arrived. Those who had ambushed them at the foot of the mountain easily captured them all.

Pan Zhi'an brought people to arrest these people, the mountain villa was completely safe.

After the fact, Fang Jinshi also felt strange. Wasn't it said that several bands of bandits had united together The number of people who came was surprisingly few, let alone so easily resolved.

Now she understands that Zhao Xingzhou had been behind the scenes, resolving most of her crises.

She didn't know how he managed to do all of this on his own, but she owed him a debt of gratitude.

"Medicine is meant to be used for healing and saving lives. What use would I have for it"

"Besides, I have plenty of medicine, so I don't mind taking one or two more."

Zhao Xingzhou hesitated for a moment, but still swallowed the pill in his mouth.

Fang Jinxiu took out her silver needle, trying to keep her voice as calm as possible.

"Take off your clothes."

Damn, even if I try to be as indifferent as possible, this feels incredibly embarrassing.

"Wh, what"

Zhao Xingzhou was stunned, thinking he had misheard.

"You've had your meridians blocked for so long, you can't even muster the strength to fight. I was counting on you to lead the charge and drive these assassins back!"

"I'll give you a few stitches to unclog your meridians before you take your clothes off."

"Your inner wounds can only be healed after you get through the current sadness, little by little."

Zhao Xingzhou nodded hesitantly, though embarrassed, he still took off the upper half of his clothes, revealing a lean and muscular physique..For several years, I've been lurking in the shadows, navigating the gray areas, tasting human blood, and my hands are stained with unspeakable carnage.Zhao Xingzhou was even worse, ruthless enough to...
