"Zi." He originally wanted to say 'hmm', but the answer came out like this.

"Blood and clothes." Gong Ming explained the reason why Qian Li felt pain.

Qian Li nodded, "I understand."

After saying that, she grabbed a wooden stick from the side, stuffed it into her mouth, and bit into it.

Qian Li had always been very tolerant, so she had already known this a long time ago.

Previously, when he wasn't familiar with her, he could bear to see her. Other than feeling weird, there was nothing else.

It was so much so that he didn't give up and wanted to personally give himself a kick in order to satisfy his own curiosity, as he wanted to know just how much Qian Li could endure to.

However, after they got familiar with each other, they once again saw her completely changed face. Looking at the sweat on her forehead and the resolute look in her eyes, their hearts actually had a different feeling.

The blood had already congealed. Other than a cut on the first robe, there was nothing else.

But when she took off the outer robes, Qian Li revealed the clothes underneath.

The bright red undergarment hung in front of his chest, a thin ribbon was wrapped around his neck, and the rest was Bai Zhe's skin.

But facing such a Qian Li, Gong Ming didn't have the slightest bit of undue thought.

Gong Ming had not seen many women appear before him. As for the few people from the Duke Palaces, there were some things that did not need to be done on his behalf.

So when she saw Qian Li's clothes at first glance, she was a little embarrassed.

However, embarrassment didn't matter as much as life itself.

He saw that the small piece of bright red clothing on his back, from under his armpits to his waist, was now completely attached to the wound.

He originally wanted to take it off, but the moment he touched Qian Li's body, he would tremble. After thinking for a moment, he shrank back.

After thinking for a moment, Gong Ming took out his dagger and roasted it over the fire, and then cut towards Qian Li's back.

With a few cracking sounds, Qian Li's clothes were cut open.

After taking off his clothes, the bloody feeling became even clearer.

A one-foot long gash suddenly appeared on his pure white back.

Due to the bumpy time and lack of proper handling, the flesh and blood had turned outwards. It was a shocking sight to behold.

Gong Ming took a deep breath, and swept his gaze across Qian Li without leaving a trace.

He took out the medicine bottle in her arms. Although she had just picked some herbs, those herbs were just used to dispel the flames, she had thought that Qian Li had not had a good rest after running for a long period of time, which was why she fainted upon meeting them. Thus, she thought that the herbs were more than enough.

But now, even the medicine in his hands might not be effective.

"Qian Li?"

The wound on his arm was not serious. Just like his foot, it was only a superficial wound.

So after wrapping it up, Gong Ming helped Qian Li put on her clothes.

Qian Li spat out the wooden stick in her mouth. The two rows of teeth marks on the wooden stick were extremely clear, and although it looked a bit inconvenient, she threw the wooden stick into the fire. However, she was stopped by Gong Ming.

So when the dazed Qian Li heard Gong Ming call her, she did not answer. Instead, she looked at Gong Ming in puzzlement.

"How long have we known each other?"

Qian Li tilted her head and began to seriously think about it.

She did not understand the meaning of Gong Ming's question, but since Master had asked, then she naturally could not do anything about it.

"More than half a year."

"Has it been that long?"

Qian Li nodded. Perhaps she was affected by Gong Ming's tone, but felt that time passed really quickly. "That's right.

"No, What This King wants to say is, from the moment I met you until now, why were you always injured?"

The topic of the conversation changed too quickly, like a tornado. Qian Li felt that her mind couldn't follow the thoughts of the person in front of him at all.

She smiled, her smile full of embarrassment.

"That's about right. Even if my luck is bad, it might not be so."

"Previously, someone told This King that a person's luck is linked to strength. If your ability is enough, then no matter what kind of opponent you meet, you won't be miserable."

Qian Li frowned. She wanted to retort, but found that she couldn't think of anything to retort against.

"That person told This King that luck is also a type of strength."

"How can luck be a type of strength? "There are a lot of things in this world that happen without any warning. Under these circumstances, as ordinary people, it probably won't be easy for us to escape safely, right?"

Finally, Qian Li raised a question.

After applying medicine to the wound, it seemed to be even more painful. Thankfully, the dislocated arm was able to move slightly after being reattached.

"One or two escapes might be considered lucky, but if we encounter ten dangers and can avoid nine of them, then that would be true strength."

"Hmm?"

"As long as you are strong enough, you will be able to withstand the incoming storm no matter what it is."

The meaning behind her words, was that Qian Li was still too inexperienced.

Qian Li's lips moved a few times, but in the end, she still didn't say anything.

Gong Ming was right, he was often injured, so this sort of matter could not be blamed on anyone.

Thus, he was right.

Seeing that Qian Li was silent, Gong Ming couldn't help but think that he might have said things that were too unpleasant to listen to.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't find anything wrong with himself.

Gong Ming felt a little irritated. It was the first time he realised that a woman like Qian Li, who seemed like she would not cause trouble for others, was actually a little difficult to get along with.

Since she didn't say anything, she didn't know what she was feeling, or what was beneath each expression.

This was actually a lot more difficult to get along with than the three chattering ladies in the manor.

"Qian Li, what is our relationship?"

Almost without thinking, Gong Ming asked this question.

With some curiosity, with some anger.

Qian Li came back to reality, "Us?" Then, without waiting for Gong Ming's reply, she directly said it out. " It's the master and servant. "

Right, it should be the master and servant, right?

Gong Ming gave her a second life, so she needed to repay him.

Therefore, she was willing to listen to his orders and do anything for him.

Also …

The mountain.

Because she herself was weak, she needed to borrow Gong Ming's power and authority in order to get close to Gong Ye and be able to accomplish her ultimate goal in the future …

However, Qian Li would forever keep the following words in his heart.

"Master and servant?" Gong Ming asked. This King has always thought of us as friends. "

Qian Li was surprised, and immediately said out her thoughts, "Where do you find friends that are always addressed as master and servant?"

Of course, the reason she said that was purely to express her feelings. He never thought that he would really change the current relationship between the two of them.

Therefore, when Gong Ming thought about it, he really told her in a very serious manner, "Then, if you think that this duke calling himself this would make you feel pressured, then in the future, we can just address each other as you and I."

Qian Li blinked her eyes, thinking that she had heard wrongly.

"In the future, I … Just say it like that in front of you, and then you don't need to call me master or prince, you can just call me by my name. "

"Calling out to the prince's name is taboo, how could Qian Li dare to do such a thing?"

Undeniably, Gong Ming's words did indeed cause some ripples in Qian Li's heart, but when he thought about it carefully, he actually had never treated Gong Ming as his friend either.

Furthermore, Qian Li was a little afraid in her heart. She felt that it was already good that their relationship was still maintained like this, something like deliberately changing the way they addressed each other, but she decided to forget about it.

"I don't have any friends. In my impression, I only have subordinates and people that can take advantage of each other. But Qian Li, you are different."

Qian Li did not reply, because she knew that Gong Ming had not finished speaking.

Of course, the most important thing was, facing Gong Ming's sudden change in attitude, Qian Li did not know how to parry.

"There are very few women around me. More accurately, I've never had anyone really get close to me. So when you appeared, it was an accident."

Qian Li pursed her lips, wasn't it an accident?

However, he already knew clearly the reason why Gong Ming wanted to save him when he first met Gong Ye.
