There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and before she could react, the candles in the room were instantly extinguished, and in the darkness, a hot body suddenly hugged her.
The strong smell of blood hit her face. She hugged his shaky body tightly and said in a panic: "Achuan?" She wanted to turn on the light to check his injuries.
Shen Wuchuan put his head on her shoulder and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't look, it will scare you."
His weak voice made her heart tremble, "What happened? How could you be so seriously injured?"
She groped around randomly, only to find blood on her hands. She hugged him tighter at a loss and choked, "Let me see."
"Don't cry, don't cry, it won't hurt..." He breathed in the air and comforted, "When you cry, your eyes will hurt again."
Mu Yao held back tears for a long time, "I want to save you."
Chen Wuchuan nestled in her arms, closed his eyes, and his voice became weaker: "Don't you doubt me?"
Mu Yao paused and hugged him tightly: "You were injured and you came to me as soon as possible. How can you make me doubt you like this?"
Yes, when he was at his most vulnerable, he chose her for protection. Isn't this enough to show that he trusts her the most?
Feeling that Shen Wuchuan's body was stiff, he then relaxed and said weakly: "Don't be afraid, I just feel a little tired... I have suffered a lot of injuries since I was a child, and they healed quickly. Let me sleep for a while. , lean against you... sleep for a while..."
Mu Yao didn't make a sound and just let him hold her.
In the darkness, the two people hugged each other tightly. After an unknown amount of time, his body gradually relaxed.
Still feeling the warmth of his body, Mu Yao dragged him to the bed and turned on the light in the room.
When she saw the scene on the bed, her eyes widened in disbelief.
There was blood all over his body. Because he was wearing red clothes, it was not very conspicuous. However, the whole clothes seemed to be soaked in water and the color was darker. Because she hugged him just now, her gauze also seemed to be covered with blood. Covered with a layer of blood mist.
His back, chest, and wrists were all covered with wounds caused by sharp weapons, and the flying flesh and blood was exposed, some of which were even more than ten centimeters long. It was shocking to see.
This can no longer be described as a serious injury. It can only be said that he is very lucky. If it were anyone else, he would not be able to bear to see her.
Mu Yao held back his sad emotions, went to get a basin of water, untied his clothes, and treated the wounds on his body.
Some places were already stuck to the skin, and he would frown if he tried to take them off. In the end, he had to cut them off with scissors and wash them slowly with warm water.
After wiping away the blood on her back, she found that the water in the basin had turned red. She went to change another basin of water, stretched out her hand to wipe his body again, and her eyes stayed on the weird tattoo on his back.
She had seen this tattoo before, but now there were one or two patches of skin glowing with white light on the edge.
It was only about the size of a fingernail, but it couldn't escape her eyes.
She reached out and touched it. Shen Wuchuan frowned visibly, as if enduring pain, and his bloodless cheeks were stained with a light pink.
She immediately put down her hand, thinking that it might be caused by an injury, so she didn't take it seriously and started to apply medicine to his wound.
There were two hideous scars on his back, deeper on his chest, from his chest to his abdomen. There were also many bruises on his body caused by blunt objects. It could be seen that he had gone through a fierce battle.
When he went out, who did he fight with? Or was he attacked in some way?
Mu Yao stood by the bed, wiped his sweat, and watched him worriedly. Once his hands and feet became cold, he immediately used his spiritual power to drive him away from the cold.
The commotion outside gradually disappeared. When they couldn't find anyone, they began to check various checkpoints. An hour later, the door was knocked again.
Mu Yao changed her clothes and opened the door, only to find Liu Qingdu.
"What happened? Did you find the assassin?"
Liu Qingdu shook his head: "No, but something happened to the Dao Alliance. My mother and aunt just learned that the leader of the alliance was assassinated when he was leaving seclusion."
"...Then what?" Mu Yao frowned.
Liu Qingdu continued: "The alliance leader has suffered some injuries. Now the Dao Alliance is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. I don't know what the situation is. I don't know who is so bold. Could it be someone from the demon clan?"
Mu Yao's hand clasped the door frame tightly: "I don't know, there should be very few people in the world who can hurt the leader of the alliance."
"So it's strange. I just said he was injured and I don't know the extent of the injury. But I guess the murderer is not much better." Liu Qingdu folded his arms and snorted: "Unless he has abilities like Chen Ying, even if he is from the alliance leader
If one of his men escapes, he probably won’t live long.”
Mu Yao bit her lip tightly, thoughtfully.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly?" Liu Qingdu wrinkled his nose after speaking worriedly: "Why does it smell of blood? Are you injured?"
"I'm fine. It seems that my mother is going to be busy today. You should go back to bed first. I'm tired after working on it for half the night." She began to issue an eviction order.
Liu Qingdu saw that she didn't look injured, so he hesitated, nodded and left.
After closing the door, Mu Yao sat on the bed again.
Looking at the man with his eyes tightly closed on the bed, she fell into deep thought.
All this was such a coincidence that it was impossible for her not to think in this direction, but... Shen Wuchuan's life experience was so innocent, how could he have the ability to compete with Xie Qingzhou?
If he is really a monster, what will he do to himself if he wakes up?
Mu Yao came closer and looked at that pale face, she felt discouraged again.
It was better to wait until he woke up and listen to his explanation. She really couldn't bear to do anything to him.
Chen Wuchuan didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day. During this period, Mu Yao was afraid that others would step into the room, so he stayed close to him.
When Shen Wuchuan opened his eyes, he moved his hands, "Hiss... senior sister."
Mu Yao took care of him all night, still pressing her hand on his, and soon woke up: "Are you awake? Is it still hurting somewhere?"
Shen Wuchuan endured the pain and looked at her blankly.
"What's wrong? Why didn't you say anything?" Mu Yao thought he had crashed somewhere, so he stood up immediately in fright.
He pursed his pale lips: "...it hurts."
Mu Yao came closer: "Then I'll get the painkillers."
She turned to leave, but Shen Wuchuan couldn't help but grabbed her arm and said with his last strength: "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
Mu Yao paused: "Then are you willing to tell me?"
Shen Wuchuan lowered his eyes and said nothing, like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for her punishment.
"Hey -" Mu Yao sighed and stated: "Last night you came back seriously injured, and then news came out from the Dao Alliance that the leader Xie Qingzhou was assassinated. Do you have any explanation for this?"
Chen Wuchuan raised his head with clear eyes: "Senior Sister, since you knew it yesterday, why do you keep me here until now? Wouldn't it be better to hand me over?"
