My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion-Chapter 900 - 533: Cherishing (Bonus 3-in-1) (Part 2)

Nowadays, it's different. Yin Tingxue realized long ago that she genuinely worried about him. She feared something might happen to him; any incident would not be good. The Little Fox could always distinguish these subtle emotions clearly.

A locust leaf floated down on her forehead, making her reflect on her feelings and stirring small ripples in her heart. Yin Tingxue smiled to herself, feeling a sense of relief. They indeed were not the same as before; they were like lovers now...

On a different note, while he currently favored her the most, being too outstanding can attract trouble. It's best if he favors someone else second.

As she was lost in her thoughts, she heard footsteps nearby. Turning around, she saw Miss Donggong getting up and leaving. Yin Tingxue wasn't in a hurry and sat quietly and composed.

In no time, Chen Yi, covered in blood, pushed the door open and entered.

Facing him was Miss Donggong's worried expression. Chen Yi waved his hand and said, "Just a small wound, no big deal."

After speaking, he glanced sideways and saw Yin Tingxue sitting over there. He squinted his eyes, a fleeting thought passing by... This Little Fox, after clearing the air, she felt carefree again.

Yin Tingxue quickly got up to greet him.

She asked softly, "What happened to you?"

Chen Yi sneered to himself and slowly said, "Those who know my heart call it worry; those who do not ask what I want."

Yin Tingxue folded her hands together and remained silent for a moment.

Chen Yi turned and said to Donggong Ruoshu, "Miss Donggong, hurry and pack your things. We're getting ready to leave."

Donggong Ruoshu began to act on it as soon as she heard; she was always efficient in her work.

Yin Tingxue shrank her neck, hesitating for a while. Wanting to leave wasn't possible, yet standing there wasn't right either, feeling somewhat awkward and embarrassed to ask questions.

Chen Yi, however, was straightforward, raising an eyebrow, "Don't you care about me?"

"Of course I care, why wouldn't I?"

"Opportunistic."

"Not opportunistic at all. I really worry about you. It's just that divination told me you'd be fine, and then I heard you come in."

"So you're saying I wronged you?"

"... Not entirely wronged," Yin Tingxue raised a finger, "A little wronged."

"Who dares to accuse me in this court?" Chen Yi feigned ferocity.

"Your wife!"

The words were said with sincerity, making Chen Yi suddenly fall silent. The rest of his words got stuck in his throat; she really knew how to handle him.

Yin Tingxue's lips tugged into a slight smile, and she quickly covered her mouth.

Chen Yi couldn't stand her laughter and glared at her.

Yin Tingxue couldn't stop herself, and at this moment, Donggong Ruoshu emerged from the room, exclaiming, "I found something."

Saying so, Miss Donggong stepped out the door, holding a blue porcelain bottle in her arms, and handed it over eagerly.

"I happened to find this. The Madam told me if you get hurt, you must apply medicine promptly." Donggong Ruoshu handed it to Chen Yi honestly.

Chen Yi showed slight surprise, taking the opportunity to glance at Yin Tingxue.

It's best to have someone with a big heart, caring for people.

Yin Tingxue suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.

Donggong Ruoshu saw Chen Yi take the porcelain bottle and was eager to try. How could one roam the Jianghu without medicine for wounds and burns? She had never applied medicine for anyone before, and couldn't help being very curious.

Seeing her eager to act, Chen Yi didn't dare let her try, wondering what this stupid girl might do.

He quickly sent her off, "Go back and prepare, I still need this wound."

Donggong Ruoshu had no choice but to leave disappointed.

Once she was gone, Chen Yi turned to see Yin Tingxue standing still, saying, "Out with it quickly, I'm in a hurry to leave."

He actually had plenty of time but said so to prevent Yin Tingxue from overthinking.

Yin Tingxue hesitated for quite some time. Seeing no one was around, she whispered, "You have no interest in her, right... don't deliberately provoke me..."

"Not that I don't like you, why the urgency?" Chen Yi sneered, "Besides liking you, can't I also care for those with big hearts?"

Yin Tingxue frowned and asked, "What about me... don't you care?"

"I care for those with big hearts," Chen Yi's face was full of cheekiness.

Yin Tingxue suddenly went silent, not wanting to say too much and let him seize the chance to tease her.

Chen Yi saw her lower her head, lightly shook his head, not in a rush to offer comforting words. Then he said, "You should also start packing, later we will board the ship and leave directly."

...…..

Compared to the liveliness of the Capital Commandery Office, the Fan Tai Government Office was usually much quieter, but today was the opposite. The Capital Commandery Office was extremely silent, while the Fan Tai Government Office was brightly lit and bustling, with officials coming and going.

The Fan Tai Government Office was even more lively than the Lantern Festival outside tonight.

The hall was brightly lit, with paperwork piled on more than twenty desks, reaching higher than a person. The Chief Clerk and other document officers were tirelessly working away, the smell of ink pervading the air. Governor Kou Jun stood in the center, directing and urging the officials to alter the documents.

"In past years, the protection of the canal grain transport was managed by the Imperial Prison, and there were 13 or 14 prisoners escaping each year unaccounted for."

"Last year, the horse feed for suppressing bandits had an extra three silver coins added per stone."

"The vacancies in the local militias belong to the Imperial Prison, sign it under Han Xiu's name, and include the empty salaries of court attendants there too."

Kou Jun was loudly ordering changes to the massive stack of ledgers in the Fan Tai Government Office overnight. Everyone had worked past curfew into the third watch and showed no signs of stopping.

A clerk walked briskly over, his voice trembling, "Han Xiu doesn't have enough to pin on!"

"Not enough to pin? Then shift some onto Su Hongtao!"

Kou Jun glanced at the clerks and shouted:

"Hurry up! Separating things takes forever, how can you be an official?!"

By the time the fifth watch bell tolled, most of the documents in the bureau had been altered. Kou Jun was pressing Han Xiu's private seal onto a record. Noticing the lion was missing a leg, he picked up some vermillion and filled in a couple of strokes before checking the document, then abruptly threw it at the clerk,
