After they smiled at each other, Shui Qinan also did not stay any longer, and said her goodbyes to Nangong Jin: "Your grandfather has already woken up, you can go and visit him, it's time for me to go back too."

Nangong Jin nodded and did not say anymore. He watched Shui Qinan leave with his eyes.

If Nangong Jin had only been curious and speculative about Shui Qinan before, then now, he was truly grateful to her. His grandfather's long illness had actually been cured by Shui Qinan in a single go. Nangong Jin did not know just how deep of a power Shui Qinan possessed, but the closer he got to her, the more surprised he would be at the new discovery. To him, his grandfather had told him today that he was Nangong Jin's only important relative. Since Shui Qinan had saved his grandfather, it was equivalent to healing Nangong Jin's heart.

Nangong Jin looked at her back with a curious gaze, until her figure was already completely gone. Then he turned and went into his grandfather's room.

When Shui Qinan returned to the Nangong Residence, Zhu Er and Hua Luo also returned. They searched for a long time, but didn't find Shui Qinan.

Zhu Er said in a spoiled manner: "Master, I thought you didn't want us when you were not in the room."

Shui Qinan raised her eyebrows and looked at her and Hua Luo: You guys sneaked out to play and I still haven't said anything, you guys can't find me yet, but you guys are starting to get anxious?

Hua Luo waved his hands, fawning on them: "That's not it, we just want to go for a walk. Look, we'll be back very soon."

Shui Qinan nodded and laughed: "Then what's fun today?"

It was good that they didn't ask, but upon seeing Shui Qinan's question, they all looked at him with eyes full of expectation, and started to excitedly share with Shui Qinan what had happened today.

Zhu Er said first: "That's right, I wanted to tell you about that. Today, we met someone who we taught a lesson to."

Shui Qinan frowned as she looked at them, puzzled and asked: "Who is it? "Why do you want to teach others a lesson?"

Zhu Er became even more excited, "He's National Duke's grandson, Jing Hong. He's the one who relied on his influence to bully others. Today, Hua Luo and I met him bullying the weak on the street, so we used our spirit energy to beat him up."

Hua Luo said gently, "Speaking of that Jing Hong, he really is a popinjay. Today, an old man has set up a stall. He used a whip to destroy that old man's stall without saying a word.

"He actually said that the old man was in his way."

Shui Qinan did not mind, for a person like him, it was impossible for him to have any thoughts of repenting even if he was taught a lesson.

But when Shui Qinan saw that they were excitedly talking, as if they were begging him to please them, she complied with their wishes and asked: "Then how did you teach him a lesson?"

Hua Luo described it vividly: "I used my spirit energy to beat him down. Everyone on the street was laughing at him, and when he crawled up, he was as dirty as a dog."

Zhu Er added, "That's right, it's really very funny. His servants hurriedly sent him back. It's so embarrassing. "

"What's so funny? Seeing that all of you are very happy, I would like to hear it too. "

Zhu Er and Shui Qinan turned around to see that Nangong Jin had returned.

Shui Qinan asked him, "Why are you back so quickly? Aren't you going to accompany the Imperial Protector? "

"He woke up after a long illness and probably needed more rest. Seeing that he was fine, I didn't dare to nag him and could only return home to visit him another day."

Shui Qinan nodded: "Indeed."

Nangong Jin glanced at Zhu Er and Zi Hua, who were at the opposite side. This Zhu Er, he had once seen Zhu Er accompanying him on the second floor of the inn when she had just entered the Sherry City. But in the end, it had somehow become Hua Luo. Now, Zhu Er and Hua Luo suddenly appeared at the same time.

Although he was curious, she did not say anything. Shui Qinan was not an ordinary woman.

However, he suddenly had the urge to understand her even more.

He added, "I still have to thank you for saving my life."

Shui Qinan sighed helplessly and said: "I already said there's no need to thank me anymore. Since you let me stay at the Nangong Residence residence, I have to give you some rewards."

She looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark, so she said to him, "I'll go back to my room first. Farewell."

Nangong Jin nodded his head, and the two of them went back to their own rooms.

The next morning, Shui Qinan woke up early and knocked on Nangong Jin's door. After opening the door, Shui Qinan straightforwardly asked: "Can you come with me to the Duke Protector's manor today? I still need to go and see the Protector's condition. "

Nangong Jin agreed and followed her out.

The first thing Shui Qinan did when she saw the Imperial Protector was to feel her pulse. Fortunately, his body could already be considered to have recovered quite well, and Shui Qinan used her spirit energy to recuperate for him, causing his complexion to gradually improve.

Shui Qinan told him: "You should rest more recently, there's nothing serious left."

The Imperial Guardian nodded, and the more he looked at Shui Qinan, the happier she became. He smiled amiably: "Why don't we eat together today at noon, and consider it as my thanks for taking care of me."

Shui Qinan did not decline, and agreed: "Alright, it's better to accept than to refuse."

After Shui Qinan left the Protector's room, she walked around, bored out of her mind. She leisurely watched the scenery until she arrived under an old locust tree. The locust tree looked rather old, with its thick branches and towering branches. Standing under the tree, she looked at the dense leaves covering the top of her head, blocking out the sunlight.

Suddenly, a strange movement occurred at his waist. Shui Qinan felt a wave of energy emit out, and lowered her head to look at his waist, only to realize that the originally calm Jade Flute would for some reason suddenly emit a black light aura. That black aura drifted slowly, but Shui Qinan did not move, and only silently watched the black aura's movements.

Until she saw that black Qi wrap around the old locust tree in front of her. The tree suddenly shook quickly for a moment, and Shui Qinan heard something screaming as it quickly scurried away, causing violent disturbances among the branches and leaves in the area.

It must have been the Jade Flute's spirit energy that alerted the thing on the tree that caused it to flee in such panic.

It's speed was so fast that even Shui Qinan's eyes could not catch what it was, and even the trajectory it took to leave could not be seen clearly.
