Chapter 1447 — An Appointment with Guan Xin
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
She was not one to take the initiative, but this matter was serious, and she wanted to talk it over with Wei Zhaodian and hear his opinion. Whatever he said, she would listen.
"More or less. What is it? Is something the matter?" Wei Zhaodian asked.
"I have something I need your advice on..." Guan Xin asked carefully.
"Sure, I will call you when I am done here." In Wei Zhaodian's memory, Guan Xin rarely sought him out on her own. If she was doing so now, it must be something important, and he would hardly refuse.
"Mm!" Seeing him agree, Guan Xin nodded happily, her face flushing faintly with excitement. "Then I will wait for your call!"
"Heh, all right." Wei Zhaodian smiled and agreed.
As he walked through the doors of the inpatient building with Qiu Lingshan, she was sulking. Why was it that when Guan Xin blushed, Wei Zhaodian said nothing, yet when she blushed he called her lovesick? Qiu Lingshan was thoroughly annoyed. Why was she treated so differently from everyone else?
Chen Yuxuan's ward was the innermost room on the third floor. He had deliberately chosen such a spot to avoid drawing attention, and he had kept his injury a secret. So far only his grandfather and people from a few prominent families knew of it. None of his other friends had been told.
Normally no one came to visit Chen Yuxuan, apart from Qiu Lingshan, of course.
So when Qiu Lingshan pushed open the ward door, Chen Yuxuan naturally assumed it was another visit from her, since the nurses and doctors on their rounds had only just left.
"Lingshan, you are here again? Did I not tell you? You have been busy with cases lately, so you need not come to see me. I am a grown man. I can look after myself. It is nothing serious." Chen Yuxuan said without thinking.
"Brother Yutian, you are hurt. Why did you hide it from me? If I had not come to the hospital to see a friend and run into Qiu Lingshan, I would still know nothing about it." Wei Zhaodian deftly glossed over Qiu Lingshan's part in it with a single phrase, making it sound like a chance meeting rather than a leak on her part.
Qiu Lingshan glanced at Wei Zhaodian with gratitude. Who would have thought he could be so kind to her.
"Wei Zhaodian... you came..." Chen Yuxuan froze, then looked embarrassed. "I have disappointed you. You just went to such trouble to raise my strength, and now... I have become a cripple, and all your effort has gone to waste."
"Brother Yutian, what kind of talk is that?" Wei Zhaodian frowned when he heard this. "What do you mean, disappointing me? Every debt has its debtor. Yu Feng inflicted your wounds. It is not as if you asked for this. Besides, he is at the mid-Mystic stage while you are at the early-Mystic stage, a full step below him at the peak of the early-Mystic stage. Of course you lost to him. But this grudge, we cannot let go."
