護花近衛 - 第240章 當面打臉 - 墨香閣

"Ah..." Tang Yun was slightly taken aback. She had not expected that this was why he had done it... and warmth suddenly welled up in her heart. Thinking it over carefully now, Zou Ruoming really did not seem as terrifying as before.

A villain had been sent crashing down from his altar by Wei Zhao. A villain who could be slapped at any moment and dared not utter a word of complaint — was he still a villain at all?

Though Tang Yun did not much approve of violence, there was a saying that hit the mark: it takes a rogue to catch a rogue.

"Even so, you can't say things like that in front of so many people... I'm a girl, you know. Not like you — you have no shame!" Though touched, Tang Yun refused to give him the last word.

"Heh..." Wei Zhao did not answer. "Let's go. Class is about to start..."

"Mm..." Tang Yun had only been venting; she did not argue further. For some reason, the resistance she had once felt toward Wei Zhao was gone. Even after what he had said, there was no aversion in her heart. "By the way, yesterday... when you helped purge the drug from my body, how did you do it?"

Yesterday had been too rushed for Tang Yun to ask; remembering it today, she hurried to get the question out.

"That? It's a form of traditional Chinese massage therapy, similar to acupuncture." Naturally Wei Zhao would not explain the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art or the matter of energy elements — Tang Yun would not have understood even if he had.

"I see... Then, Wei Zhao, can you cure Xiaofen's illness?" Tang Yun had been mulling this over since yesterday. She did not know where Wei Zhao had learned his medicine, but after two demonstrations, the results spoke for themselves.

Once when Xiaofen had a seizure, and once yesterday when he purged the poison from her own body — that proved Wei Zhao had real skill. So Tang Yun wondered: if that was so, could Wei Zhao cure Xiaofen's illness?

"I should be able to. But not right now..." Wei Zhao had no nerve-stimulating drugs on hand. He had only prepared a batch back home — the ones the old man had once used to strengthen his own constitution — and he had not brought them with him.

Xiaofen's legs would have to be restored through acupuncture combined with nerve-stimulating drugs; acupuncture alone would not accomplish much.

"Oh..." Tang Yun, however, took this to mean that Wei Zhao's medical skill was not great enough to reach the level of curing Xiaofen's illness, and she nodded, a little disappointed.

The bell rang for class. Wei Zhao and Tang Yun quickened their pace. As they neared the Senior Year Class Nine classroom, Tang Yun suddenly sped up, evidently wanting to put some distance between herself and Wei Zhao.

Wei Zhao smiled and did not follow. Only after Tang Yun had entered the classroom did he hurry back to his own class.

"Boss, you were so cool just now!" No sooner had Wei Zhao sat down than Kang Xiaobo turned around and gave him a thumbs-up.

"What do you mean?" Wei Zhao was startled. Could the kid have seen something?

"I was at the corridor window just now. I saw you slap Zou Ruoming — right in front of Director Wang! Boss, you're a legend!" Kang Xiaobo's admiration knew no bounds.

"Nobody else saw, did they?" Wei Zhao frowned. He had not expected Kang Xiaobo to witness that.

"No, just me." Kang Xiaobo nodded.

"Good." Wei Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the young miss had not seen it — otherwise there would be trouble again once he got home. "By the way, what was it you wanted to see me about earlier?"
