Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Su family was not calm either. They only felt that their Su Yan was too pitiful.
The first person she liked was someone who was not worth giving herself to. The second time, before she could marry the person she liked, he had fallen unconscious.
When Su Yan was not at home, Old Master Su stood up for her and broke off the engagement.
The people from the King of Guangping’s residence were also very straightforward. After all, as their king was already in such a state, they could not destroy Su Yan’s future.
Su Yan had no idea about all of this. She was still struggling with the wood in front of her.
Not to mention, after chopping wood for the past few days, she was now much more at ease..
After a day of chopping wood, seeing that Master Xuanfeng’s door was still tightly shut, disappointment flashed in Su Yan’s eyes.
“Female benefactor, Master Xuanfeng has said that this wood is enough. He wants to drink the spring water on Mount Tianlu Tomorrow. Female benefactor, please don’t borrow anyone’s strength to help Master Xuanfeng get it.”
After these few days of training, this little monk’s skills had clearly improved. At the very least, when he said these words, his face would no longer turn red.
Su Yan did not have any dissatisfaction and nodded with a smile.
It was good to torture her in a different way. This meant that Master Xuanfeng was paying attention to her.
Su Yan encouraged herself and made preparations. She was going to climb the mountain tomorrow.
Su Yan was fully prepared, but she had just climbed halfway up the mountain when her face was pale and her legs were weak.
Fortunately, Chu Tao and Chun Xia did not follow her and were forced by her to wait for her at the foot of the mountain. Otherwise, they would definitely bring her back if they saw her like this.
Su Yan rested for a while and continued to climb. She hurried over and when Su Yan brought the spring water down, it was already nighttime.
“Miss, you have suffered.” Chu Tao quickly went up and took out a handkerchief to help Su Yan wipe off her sweat. She also took out some pastries that she had prepared beforehand and handed them to Su Yan.
Su Yan ate some pastries and did not stop for more than a moment. She rushed to Master Xuanfeng’s residence in a hurry, afraid that Master Xuanfeng would be unhappy if she was late.
When Su Yan arrived, the small monk was already waiting for her. It was unknown whether he had been waiting for her or had already calculated Su Yan’s arrival time.
The small monk took the jar of spring water from Su Yan’s hand and also left a message that he would have to trouble the female benefactor the next day. Then, he left in a hurry.
Su Yan heaved a sigh of relief and almost lost her footing. It was only then that she felt that her legs were no longer hers. Her entire body was extremely sore and numb.
When Su Yan returned to the side room, she leaned on Chu Tao and Chun Xia to get there.
When she returned to the side room, Chu Tao helped Su Yan take off her shoes. When she saw the blisters on her feet, she could not help but cry again.
“I haven’t even cried yet. Yet you two have gotten used to crying these past few days.” Su Yan still had the energy to tease Chu Tao and Chun Xia.
Seeing how badly Su Yan had been bullied, even Chu Tao could not help but advise Su Yan to go back.
“I don’t know why Miss wants to see Master Xuanfeng so much. But even if there’s something very important, you must take care of your own body.”
“Chu Tao, you know my thoughts the best. Indeed, I’m here for an important person. But don’t worry, Master Xuanfeng will not let anything happen to my body. He will definitely know his limits.”
Su Yan’s expression suddenly became serious. Even when she was at her limit, she still spoke out of habit to comfort Chu Tao and the others.
“This is still acceptable…” they had heard this kind of excuse many times in the past two days. Chun Xia could not help but mutter when she saw Su Yan’s body covered in injuries, especially her hands and feet, which had both new as well as old injuries.
If Madam and the others knew about this, they would be extremely distressed.
Su Li went back and forth between Mount Tianlu and Master Xuanfeng’s residence for a few days in a row. The time she sent the spring water to him every day was getting earlier and earlier.
Today, Su Yan sent the spring water as usual and limped back to her room.
