Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart-Chapter 1657 - Something Major Had Happened

1657 Something Major Had Happened
“I didn’t know he was so skilled in martial arts,” Yaoyao said in astonishment.

Baoyu had told her everything on the way there.

During the incident, her and Kong Ming’s pressure points were sealed, but Kong Ming somehow managed to break free. He blasted off the roof of the carriage with his internal strength and even held off Wanyan Jin and Bada long enough for Baoyu to escape with Yaoyao on her back.

“I only found out today that he practices martial arts,” said Baoyu. The events of the day still seemed somewhat unreal to her, mainly because Kong Ming had surprised her tremendously.

“Looks like he’s been hiding his skills,” Yaoyao said approvingly, then she leaned over to Baoyu and whispered in her ear, “You’ve found yourself a real gem.”

Baoyu scratched her head. “I guess so.”

“That’s not very humble of you,” Yaoyao teased her.

Baoyu winked. “Why should I be humble when it’s the truth?” Turning and looking at the boy lying unconscious in bed, she grew worried again. “But will he really be all right?”

She had fought Wanyan Jin too, and she had failed to fend off his attacks. If not for the forest terrain, she would not have been able to hold her own against him for that short moment.

However, Kong Ming had taken a direct blow from Wanyan Jin.

He was still young, after all—no matter how talented he was, he was still no match for a martial arts expert like Wanyan Jin.

Yaoyao said reassuringly, “Don’t worry, he’ll be fine. He’s unconscious because the enemy’s internal strength is much greater than his. When he took that blow, he got knocked out by the enemy’s internal strength and injured his internal organs too, so he won’t wake up so soon.”

Just then, Long Huaiyuan came in with a bowl of medicine.

Baoyu took it from him. “Let me do it.”

It was not easy to give an unconscious person medicine, but fortunately, Kong Ming’s subconsciousness was still active.

With the help of Long Huaiyuan and the others, Baoyu successfully fed him his medicine.

“Go and rest, Baoyu. We’ll stay here,” Long Huaiyuan urged her when he noticed how tired and covered in sweat she was.

Baoyu was still worried but ended up being dragged back to her room by Yaoyao.

“Don’t worry, your little monk will be fine. But if you don’t get some rest, you’ll be the one to fall sick when he wakes up.”

Baoyu lay down on the bed reluctantly. When she saw Yaoyao take a seat at the bedside—looking as if she refused to leave—she quickly persuaded her, “You should get some rest too, Big Sis Yaoyao. You don’t have to keep watch over me—I promise I’ll go to sleep.”

“All right, then I’ll go back to my room now.” Her reassurance eased the worry in Yaoyao’s heart. “But don’t you dare sneak off to see Monk Boy while I’m gone. I’ll get someone to guard the doors to your room.”

Baoyu was both annoyed and amused. “I promise I’ll sleep and not sneak out.”

“Good.” Only then did Yaoyao and Hexin return to their room.
Due to Kong Ming and Baoyu’s injuries, their journey was delayed.

They stayed in the city for a few days and only resumed their journey once Kong Ming had recovered.

Little did they know that something major had happened far away at the West Water Frontier.

General Mansion, West Water Frontier.

Chu Qi received a letter from Long Yin’s messenger saying that they were on the way home.

He promptly delivered the news to Ji’er.

Although Ji’er did not go with Long Yin to the Yan Kingdom to fetch Yaoyao, she missed her sister terribly.

It was the first time the two sisters had been separated for so long since their childhood. Before this, Ji’er had not realized it as they had been together every day, but now that she and Yaoyao were apart, she found herself missing her elder sister who had been born fifteen minutes earlier than her.
