Transformation?
Looking at Ding Xuan’s pale face and cracked lips, Hao Yi knew Ding Xuan had become so exhausted because he had been made to kneel as punishment and had not been allowed to rest. Yet because of that vicious young master, Ding Xuan did not dare voice any grievance, and still served him as usual.
Hao Yi turned and walked over. Before he had even gotten close to Ding Xuan, he could already feel Ding Xuan trembling all over.
He must have been tormented into fear…
Hao Yi did not know whether he counted as a good person. In the time and place where he had once lived, he had always been alone, with only Xiao Qi, who had accompanied him since childhood.
Xiao Qi was an eagle, very well-behaved. Whenever he cultivated, Xiao Qi would stand guard over him and not let anyone or any beast approach him.
Of course, that did not mean he had never interacted with other people, but most of the time things ended badly, and in the end those people all died by his hand.
Perhaps he was not a good person either…
Thinking of Xiao Qi, Hao Yi felt a little sad. He had been his only companion, yet now they were separated by two different times and spaces. He did not know how Xiao Qi was doing now. He was probably guarding his corpse and refusing to leave…
Pulling his thoughts back, Hao Yi looked at Ding Xuan, who had lowered his head even further, and reached out to take one of the lunch boxes from Ding Xuan’s hands. “Thank you,” he said.
With a slap, the lunch box in Ding Xuan’s hands fell to the floor.
Then Ding Xuan knelt down in terror, shaking all over as he stared at the floor, crying in panic, “Young, Young Master, I, I was wrong, I was wrong…”
“Wrong?” Hao Yi was speechless. He raised a hand to his forehead, somewhat helpless over Ding Xuan’s fear.
It seemed Ding Xuan was not used to this vicious young master treating him kindly…
But he was not that vicious young master, so Ding Xuan should not be afraid of him, and he should not torment the innocent like that young master did.
Although in his past life he had killed many people, those people had all deserved to die. He had not slaughtered the innocent indiscriminately.
“Get up.” Hao Yi bent down and reached out to help Ding Xuan up, but Ding Xuan was so frightened that he fell back onto the floor, his face losing all color.
Hao Yi put down the lunch box in his hand, then crouched down directly and scooped Ding Xuan up sideways with both arms, walking toward the bedside.
This time, Ding Xuan trembled even more violently. Terror filled his heart, and his eyes were full of fear, even carrying a dead-gray despair.
He did not know what new way this vicious young master had thought of to torment him. He absolutely did not believe the young master’s attitude had really changed. Thinking back, the night before he had still been punished to kneel, and it had only ended at six this morning. He was already utterly exhausted now, and if he were tormented again, he was afraid his life would be gone.
Thinking of this, Ding Xuan could not help his eyes turning red, and tears fell too.
When Hao Yi put him on the bed, he thought Hao Yi was going to do something, but instead Hao Yi rolled up his trouser leg to above the knee.
Seeing the swollen knee, Hao Yi’s brows immediately knitted tight, and he said, “It’s swollen like this. Do you have any medicine?”
Ding Xuan stared in disbelief at Hao Yi’s profile, unable to believe what he had just heard. Were those really words this vicious young master would say?
“Hm?” Hao Yi did not hear an answer, and could not help looking up at Ding Xuan.
Ding Xuan jumped in shock and quickly lowered his head, shaking it. “No… no…”
Hao Yi straightened up, went to the side, put on his clothes, and said, “I’m going out to buy medicine. Don’t run around.”
After saying that, he walked out.
Ding Xuan was still stunned and had not recovered his senses, his eyes fixed on the tightly closed door as he thought, How is he going to torment me this time?
Ding Xuan did not believe Hao Yi had really gone to buy medicine. He thought Hao Yi had found a new amusement to torment him, and that made his already uneasy heart start racing again…
