As the words fell.
For some unknown reason.
Su Muwan felt her cheeks burning under Qin Luo's gaze.
She quickly withdrew her hand and shouted, "Who... who's treating you like a pet!! I just see you as a puppy, that's all!"
?? Is there even a difference?
Qin Luo smiled helplessly: "I understand, young miss. Rich people often have such peculiar interests."
"I, I do not!!"
"But... the young miss did say one thing right."
Qin Luo slowly stood up.
Su Muwan, who had been defending herself, paused: "What thing?"
"That would be..."
As Qin Luo spoke, he extended two fingers and gently placed them at the corner of Su Muwan's mouth, then tenderly pushed upward, making her lips curve into a slight smile.
Then, he smiled and said: "The young miss just needs to be herself, and I will be responsible for... making the young miss happy every day."
As the words fell.
!!
Thump! Thump!!
Mmph—!!
Su Muwan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, her cheeks quickly turned crimson, and she froze completely.
She looked at the gentle Qin Luo who was so close.
Her body began to tremble slightly.
Ahhh.... ⁄(⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)⁄, I'm going to die...
Su Muwan fought back her embarrassment, reached out and grabbed Qin Luo's wrist.
Her eyes met his with defiance.
Her lips curved upward as she said with a trembling voice: "You... you little Qin Luo... you're really quite arrogant."
"Remember what you said, this young miss won't let you go back on your word."
Hearing this, Qin Luo smiled and said: "Yes, this is a promise between the young miss and me."
Just then.
"Ahh—!!!!"
A scream came from the corridor outside.
The two people, who had been in a strange atmosphere, were startled.
They looked at each other.
Then.
Swoosh!
They both quickly turned their heads and stood up.
"Young miss, I'll go check it out."
"Oh... um, I'll come too."
Qin Luo and Su Muwan avoided looking at each other.
The atmosphere between them had become somewhat awkward.
Qin Luo took a breath, his heart pounding.
Sigh... he had inadvertently done many unnecessary things.
But it seemed his relationship with Su Muwan had progressed further.
However... to be honest.
Aren't we being too intimate?
Qin Luo admitted to himself that he had fallen for Su Muwan, but officially she was still his young miss.
Acting like this, wasn't it like a servant overstepping his bounds??
Most importantly, Qin Luo felt that if this continued, he might end up blurting out a confession.
Meanwhile, Su Muwan was adjusting her sleeves.
Her eyes shy.
This won't do, if this continues, this young miss won't be able to control herself.
This atmosphere is exactly like what's described in books.
If this goes on, one of them would surely confess!
And Su Muwan was one hundred percent certain she would be the one confessing.
Sigh!
Anyway!!
Su Muwan calmed herself.
She clenched her fists for encouragement.
As someone who had been reborn, as a high-level player who had read countless books!
Although her practical experience was zero! She was at least a theoretical master!
Which means she had her own pride!!
Therefore!!
The dominant position in love!! Must be hers!!
So!!
She would make Qin Luo take the initiative to say he likes her!!
And then.....
Hehe, she would respond with a gracious expression saying that for a mere Qin Luo to dare think such thoughts, this young miss would reluctantly agree.
Then Qin Luo would surely cry with gratitude and thank the young miss.
Hehehe~~~ then Qin Luo would be at her mercy!!
Hehe, *sniff*, no good, she'd start laughing if she thought about it more.
Anyway!
Su Muwan walked to Qin Luo's side and cleared her throat: "Let's go see."
"Yes, young miss."
....
...
As soon as they went outside.
A crowd had already gathered in the corridor.
Confused voices came from the crowd, some exclaiming in shock, some whispering discussions, and some sounding very panicked.
It seemed someone had fainted.
Zhu Lan and others were there too.
"Young miss, something terrible has happened."
"The Divine Doctor... is dead!"
She approached with a grave expression.
Opening with such shocking news.
??? The Divine Doctor is dead?
Su Muwan and Qin Luo exchanged glances and quickly pushed through the crowd.
Then, they saw an old man lying rigid on the ground.
His face was pale, eyes tightly closed, clearly between life and death.
This person was... the Divine Doctor!
Beside the Divine Doctor, Wang Yong and Feng Yueke were crying with reddened eyes.
"Master! Master, what's wrong with you, Master!"
"Master, don't scare us like this, Master!"
Wang Yong sobbed and cried out: "Master! Open your eyes and look at me!"
Feng Yueke also bit her lips, her eyes panicked and devastated.
Could Master have died because of the Power-Nullifying Water...
No.. impossible..
Qin Luo said the Power-Nullifying Water would only make someone powerless, he never said anything about death!
Meanwhile, Qin Luo.
He blinked, seeing that the Divine Doctor wasn't actually dead.
However... if this continued, he might really die.
So he stepped forward and announced loudly: "Everyone make way, don't crowd here!"
As Qin Luo's voice fell.
Everyone was startled.
Su Muwan also instructed Zhu Lan: "Have people step back."
"Yes, young miss."
Soon after.
Yellow tape was put up.
The Divine Doctor lay on the ground, like a crime scene.
Qin Luo crouched down and placed his hand on the Divine Doctor's pulse.
Feng Yueke watched with reddened eyes: "Qin... Qin Luo... is my master alright?"
Wang Yong bit his lips as tears fell: "Wuwuwu Qin Luo... I can't detect Master's pulse anymore... is he..."
At this point, Wang Yong felt like he would faint. After studying medicine for so many years, yet he... couldn't even save his own master?
Tears blurred his vision.
Wang Yong... you're such a useless waste.
You can't do anything....
A moment later.
Qin Luo had figured it out.
He withdrew his hand, understanding dawning in his mind.
Under normal circumstances, the Power-Nullifying Water could only nullify one's powers, but wouldn't endanger life.
But!
As luck would have it!
The Divine Doctor had lived so long largely because of his martial powers!
Now that his power had dissipated and he had become powerless, it had indirectly brought him to the brink of death.
In other words, he was dead, but not completely.
Although his power had dissipated, but!!
Qin Luo had already detected the main reason why the Divine Doctor had collapsed in this false death state.
It was due to external impact!
Of course, he wouldn't admit it was because of his fight with that Western judge during the competition.
So.
Qin Luo's expression turned serious as he looked up at Feng Yueke and everyone around.
He slowly said: "The Divine Doctor isn't dead, I can save him."
"But earlier, did the Divine Doctor suffer any powerful impact?"
As the words fell.
Feng Yueke came to her senses and quickly nodded: "Yes! That witch Jiang Xueqi pushed my master off his wheelchair!!"
As she said this, Feng Yueke glared angrily at someone in the crowd.
