Chapter 199 I'm sorry, Guo Jing
Chapter 199 I'm sorry, Guo Jing
After treating the wound, Duan Zhengchun immediately began to circulate his internal energy, continuously pouring his innate true energy into Huang Rong's body.
Several hours later, the sky was already beginning to brighten. Guo Fu, who was guarding the outer hall, had fallen asleep due to exhaustion and pain. Only then did Duan Zhengchun finally finish his training.
After a night of treatment, Huang Rong was finally out of danger, and her breathing gradually stabilized.
Looking at Huang Rong lying in front of him, her face pale, Duan Zhengchun felt a pang of heartache and even blamed himself for arriving too late.
He had never been so close to Huang Rong as he was today, and with her blood-stained clothes removed during the healing process, Huang Rong had almost lost half of her privacy.
After sitting there for a long time, Duan Zhengchun couldn't help himself and slowly lowered his head to kiss her.
The next moment, an instant became eternity.
However, at that moment, he suddenly saw a crystal tear slide down Huang Rong's cheek.
It turns out Huang Rong had already woken up!
Duan Zhengchun was struck dumb, and hurriedly sat up. Looking at the tear stain at the corner of Huang Rong's eye, he felt extremely guilty.
"sorry..."
He felt deeply sorry for his behavior just now, feeling that he shouldn't have been so frivolous, and what was the difference between this and taking advantage of someone in distress?
Huang Rong slowly opened her eyes, silently sat up, and put on her clothes.
"I was impolite just now. If you hold a grudge, you can kill me now, and I will not fight back!"
Duan Zhengchun looked at Huang Rong and said with a serious expression.
He liked Huang Rong, but he never wanted to see her sad and in tears.
But Huang Rong shook her head, remaining silent, offering neither blame nor forgiveness.
Duan Zhengchun felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He slowly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will keep what happened today to myself!"
"From this day forward, whatever you ask me to do in the future, I will do it without hesitation, even if it means death!"
After saying this, Duan Zhengchun did not linger and turned to leave the inner hall.
Huang Rong finally slowly raised her head, looking at Duan Zhengchun's departing figure with a solemn expression.
For the next two weeks, the three of them lived in the mountain god temple. To help Huang Rong and Guo Fu recover from their injuries, he did almost everything himself, cleaning, washing clothes, cooking, and even brewing medicine for Huang Rong and her daughter.
The hidden Qingyi Guards not only followed Duan Zhengchun's orders to bring Huang Rong medicine to nourish her spirit and ensure a safe pregnancy, but also provided her with all sorts of necessities such as food, clothing, and daily necessities.
Duan Zhengchun's meticulous care made him seem like a completely different person. Who would have thought that the world-renowned Lingxiao Sword Demon had such a side?
Although he put aside his love for Huang Rong, he did not remain idle. Every night, he would secretly get close to Guo Fu, while Guo Fu would occasionally praise Duan Zhengchun in front of her mother, expressing her admiration for him.
What she didn't know was that, after all that had happened, her mother's feelings toward Duan Zhengchun were actually subtly changing.
Without Guo Jing...
Of course, there are no "what ifs" in this world.
Even though Huang Rong had fallen for him, she could only keep it buried in her heart forever, because she couldn't do anything to betray Guo Jing.
That afternoon, Huang Rong watched shyly as Duan Zhengchun changed her dressing again, her heart pounding.
To be honest, she already wanted to leave, because she was worried that if things continued like this, she might really do something wrong.
"You should rest well, I'll go cook."
Duan Zhengchun smiled and said something, then slowly walked towards the door.
"My injuries are almost healed. When are we leaving?"
"I mean, the Mongol army may launch an attack on the three border cities at any time, and we need to prepare for it as soon as possible."
Huang Rong hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly said.
"Don't worry, my men are keeping a close eye on the Mongol army's movements. We'll know immediately if there are any changes."
Duan Zhengchun turned his head, smiled, said something, and walked straight out of the inner hall.
Huang Rong sat on the bed, her brows furrowing slightly. She didn't know who Duan Zhengchun meant by "my person."
The existence of the Green-Clad Guards has always been a secret.
Just as Duan Zhengchun was tying the apron made of rags around his neck, he suddenly frowned and then looked outside sharply.
somebody is coming!
Duan Zhengchun winked at Guo Fu, who was picking vegetables nearby, then quickly walked out of the temple gate with a spoon in hand, coldly looking in the direction where the aura had appeared!
Immediately afterwards, a figure suddenly emerged from the forest and arrived directly in front of the dilapidated temple.
Huang Yaoshi!
"Huang Yaoshi?"
Duan Zhengchun breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and slowly said something.
"Brother Yin?!"
"you?!"
Huang Yaoshi stared wide-eyed at Duan Zhengchun, who was now dressed as a dutiful husband, and couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated.
"Grandpa!"
At this moment, Guo Fu, who was in the temple, heard Huang Yaoshi's voice and ran out with a cheer, quickly arriving in front of Huang Yaoshi.
"Fu'er, where is your mother?"
Huang Yaoshi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded kindly, and asked with concern.
"My mother is inside. She'll be so happy to know you're here!"
Guo Fu pointed inside the temple and pulled Huang Yaoshi inside.
Huang Yaoshi looked embarrassed and glanced at Duan Zhengchun before quickly following his grandson into the inner hall.
Duan Zhengchun also silently followed him in.
"father!"
Huang Rong looked delighted and excitedly called out, making a move to stand up and bow.
"Don't move! With such a big belly, you dare to storm the Mongol camp?! If it weren't for Brother Yin's help, what would Jing'er do if something had happened?!"
Huang Yaoshi kept a straight face and was scolding people, but he finally felt relieved.
"At that time, I was really worried about Fu'er's safety and lost my composure, which made Father worry. I am sorry."
After Huang Rong obediently lay down, she lowered her head with an apologetic expression.
"Never mind, it's good that everyone's alright, thank goodness!"
“I only found out you were in trouble when I heard you had broken into the Mongol camp, which is why I rushed to the border town.”
"During the time you disappeared, everyone was looking for you. Jing'er even led heroes of the martial arts world to charge into the Mongol army camp in order to find you, and many martial arts practitioners died as a result."
Huang Yaoshi waved his hand and gave a brief account of what had happened outside during this period.
Upon hearing this, Huang Rong frowned slightly, and a trace of self-reproach reappeared on her face.
Duan Zhengchun stood aside without saying a word, quietly watching Huang Rong. He couldn't help but feel a little lost, because he knew that now that Huang Yaoshi had come looking for him, the day of parting was not far off.
In fact, he knew everything that was happening outside. The Qingyi Guards would secretly report to him every two days, but he didn't tell Huang Rong and her daughter.
“I have left a mark along the way. Jing’er should find it soon. Then we can go back to Xiangyang together. You are about to give birth, so don’t worry about the border matters for now. Focus on taking care of your health.”
Huang Yaoshi paused for a moment, then earnestly gave his advice.
Huang Rong nodded silently, without saying a word, because her mind was already in complete turmoil.
Jing-gege is about to find this place, but she remembers being kissed by Duan Zhengchun. And she has to admit that after spending the past half month together, she has indeed been moved by Duan Zhengchun, although it was only for a few moments. But she still feels guilty towards Jing-gege.
She wanted to escape from here as soon as possible and no longer wanted to be taken care of by Duan Zhengchun. She secretly vowed that she would stay with Jing-gege from now on and would never have any other thoughts.
"I never expected it would be Brother Yin who saved my daughter again. It seems we are indeed destined to be family!"
"Thank you very much, Brother Yin!"
Outside the dilapidated temple, Huang Yaoshi looked at Duan Zhengchun with gratitude, clasped his hands in a salute, and said sincerely.
Duan Zhengchun smiled but didn't reply. He invited Huang Yaoshi to sit at the low table he had made himself and poured him a cup of wine.
In the past two weeks, the once dilapidated mountain god temple has been transformed into a place with everything it needs, looking exactly like a place where people live year-round.
Was this place inhabited before?
As expected, Huang Yaoshi finally asked the question that had been on his mind.
"please!"
Duan Zhengchun raised his wine glass somewhat awkwardly, said something with a smile, and then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Huang Yaoshi didn't press the matter further, but he didn't see anything amiss...
