Shen Miao came back to her senses. “Is he still alive?”
“He’s alive and well.” Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow. “He didn’t even touch a spark.”
Shen Miao caught the key word and asked, “Spark?”
“I burned down the dungeon,” Xie Jingxing said. “Just in case anything happens.”
Shen Miao gasped. Most of the people locked up in the dungeon had the secrets that Fu Xiuyi wanted to know. With Xie Jingxing’s fire, those secrets could never be discovered. Fu Xiuyi had lost so much, so how could he let Xie Jingxing off easily?
At this moment, Shen Miao couldn’t help but admire Xie Jingxing. She thought that she was bold enough, but that was because she had the memories of her previous life to rely on. However, Xie Jingxing always did as he wanted, showing no regard for the consequences.
Shen Miao was silent for a moment before asking, “Is he in your mansion now?”
Xie Jingxing said, “Gao Yang is treating him.”
Shen Miao found it a little strange. Gao Yang was treating Pei Lang. Why didn’t Xie Jingxing let Gao Yang treat him? Instead, he came to her courtyard with injuries. Did Xie Jingxing think that her medical skills were better than Gao Yang’s?
However, she had another question that bugged her. She looked at Xie Jingxing intently. Xie Jingxing smiled. “Why are you looking at me like that? I’m not that kind-hearted. If not for you…”
“What’s with those scars?” Shen Miao interrupted him.
“There are many guards in Prince Ding’s mansion, and there are Fu Xiuyi’s death warriors in the dungeon.” It was rare for Xie Jingxing to explain to her.
“I’m not talking about this.” Shen Miao paused for a moment before asking, “Your old scars look very deep. Were you injured in the Daliang Dynasty?”
Xie Jingxing was stunned and did not speak.
“I’ve never heard of you being injured in Ming Qi,” Shen Miao said. “But these scars look old. How did it happen?”
“Concerned about me?” Xie Jingxing looked at her with a faint smile. “It’s nothing serious. There’s no need to mention it.”
“I want to know.” Shen Miao lowered her eyes. “Tell me for the sake of helping me be better prepared mentally. I don’t want to go to a strange place without knowing anything.”
This reason sounded convincing, but Shen Miao knew that she just wanted to know how he got those scars.
Apart from the fact that she was reborn, Xie Jingxing already knew her very well. However, from Shen Miao’s point of view, there were still many things she did not understand about Xie Jingxing. In the past, she was very afraid of understanding him. The more she knew the secrets about a dangerous person like Xie Jingxing, the more uneasy she would feel. Now, she wanted to take the initiative to know about Xie Jingxing.
Xie Jingxing looked at the tea in front of him and smiled. “I was injured on the northern border.”
Shen Miao suddenly looked up.
Xie Jingxing said indifferently, “There were people planted by the royal family in the Xie army. Back then, when I went to the northern border, because my plan changed, I returned to the Daliang Dynasty in advance to reclaim my identity.”
“The people of the northern border and the royal family worked together from the inside to set up a trap. Originally, they were targeting Xie Ding, but because I requested to go to war, they changed their target to me. That day, I didn’t expect the Marquis of Lin’an’s trusted aide to be the emperor’s subordinate. He schemed against me. Although the Daliang Dynasty’s Black Feather Army secretly came to my aid, I was still seriously injured. My brother sent people to bring me back. The emperor thought that his plan was successful, but in fact, I was brought back to the Daliang Dynasty to recuperate. I was bedridden for half a year before I could walk on my own.” He looked at Shen Miao and smiled disapprovingly. “To be precise, I was injured in Ming Qi.”
