After being here for so long, they had not seen a single living person. Now that the young lady was unconscious, any stranger could pose a danger.
"You are the ones waiting for her." The man smiled in response to Liu Lvy's question, his voice warm and melodious.
"You say you are? Why should we believe you?" Liu Ying did not step forward; instead, she retreated into the room, taking a defensive stance.
"Your young lady is unconscious. Are you sure you won't let me in to take a look?" The man in white moved gracefully, exuding an indescribable elegance.
"You..."
He actually knew that the young lady was unconscious?
Liu Ying and Liu Lu were genuinely startled. This person had an extremely high level of cultivation; even if they joined forces, they could not harm him in the slightest. If he were truly an old friend of their master and mistress, it would be fine, but if not, then the young lady would be in danger.
"Two good maidservants protecting their mistress," the man chuckled lightly. It had been many years since anyone had taken an aggressive stance in front of him; it felt quite refreshing.
"Unless you prove your identity, otherwise, you shall not step through this door!" As she spoke, Liu Lvy had already activated her Orange Profound Energy, her aura rising sharply.
Liu Ying had also summoned her dual rings, controlling the energy swirling around her, ready to strike at any moment.
"You think you can stop me with just that?" Seeing them prepared to fight to the death, the man in white found it amusing. Their innate talent was decent, but unfortunately, their cultivation was too low.
"Liu Ying and Liu Lu, let him in." Just as the two maidservants were about to charge forward, a voice came from inside the room—Ouyang Zixin's voice.
The young lady was awake!
The two immediately withdrew their stances and ignored the stranger as they quickly returned to Ouyang Zixin's room.
Ouyang Zixin had woken up at some point but still felt weak and unable to sit up by herself. With the help of the two maidservants, she managed to lean against something and sit up slightly.
"Miss, you're awake! We've been so worried these past few days..."
"Miss, are you feeling better? Is there anywhere else that feels uncomfortable..."
As soon as they entered, Liu Ying and Liu Lu burst into a series of words, leaving Ouyang Zixin opening and closing her mouth several times, unable to interject at all.
After a long while, when the two finally quieted down, they remembered the man outside. The young lady had let him in earlier, but the two were so focused on Ouyang Zixin waking up that they completely forgot about him. Just as they were about to step out to invite him in, they discovered he was already seated inside, drinking tea, as if he were not an outsider at all.
"Have you said enough? Can you let me speak now?" When the three finally settled down, the man dug into his ear with a teasing expression.
This is what they say about women; they can be quite noisy. These three young girls were not much different.
"Did you hear me talking?" Ouyang Zixin shot him an annoyed glare. This person was truly irritating; his words and actions did not match his celestial appearance at all.
"Haha, I can see you want to say something," he replied, his gaze sweeping over Liu Ying and Liu Lu.
The two maids were originally quite clever, but Ouyang Zixin's recent coma had thrown them off balance. At this moment, they could hardly miss the man's implication. Remembering how they had babbled upon entering, their faces turned slightly red.
"Uncle, are you here to tease my maids?" Confirming that this man was the so-called Old Friend who had communicated with her last time, Ouyang Zixin decided to be direct and tease him back.
"Hahaha, you really think highly of your two maids!" This Old Friend of Ouyang Hao and Bai Su was no ordinary person; he was the renowned Master Rong Yi. With countless admirers, it was hard to believe he would tease two maids.
"Wait a minute, what did you call me? Uncle?" Rong Yi's laughter abruptly stopped as he looked at Ouyang Zixin in disbelief.
"Yes, Uncle. Aren't you my parents' Old Friend? Calling you Uncle is correct, isn't it? Uncle!" Ouyang Zixin chuckled inwardly; it turned out he was afraid of being called Uncle.
"You... you... this girl! How do I look like an uncle?" Although over forty years old, Rong Yi appeared youthful and handsome; no one had ever referred to him as an uncle before.
Looking at Liu Ying and Liu Lu who were covering their mouths and stifling laughter, Rong Yi felt even more frustrated. This little girl held a grudge!
"Being an uncle has nothing to do with looks. You just have the appearance of a child, but your age is there; if you're not an uncle, then what are you?" After being ignored for over a month and nearly fainting from hunger after just one communication attempt, she vowed not to let this grudge go unpunished!
"A child's appearance? What does a child look like?" Rong Yi was taken aback by Ouyang Zixin's words.
"Want to know?" Seeing Rong Yi nodding, Ouyang Zixin coldly replied—she wouldn’t tell him.
Hmph! If I don't drive you crazy, I'll be curious myself! Let’s see how you act mysterious!
"Little Girl, you, you..." After stammering for a while, Rong Yi couldn't come up with anything and finally grabbed the teacup on the table, downing it in one go.
"What’s wrong with me? I've been hungry for seven days, just woke up, and my mind isn't completely clear yet. You're an elder, so you wouldn't hold it against me, right?" In truth, Ouyang Zixin wasn't lying; although she had regained consciousness, her head still felt heavy. After a few teasing remarks, she was already sweating lightly and felt quite exhausted.
"Hmph, looking like this after just seven days, and you still have the nerve to say it." Rong Yi understood Ouyang Zixin's situation but didn't expect that his moment of playful mischief would lead this Girl to hold a grudge against him. As soon as Zi Yi woke up, she immediately sought revenge; he had practically delivered himself to her doorstep. Rubbing his nose, he said somewhat begrudgingly.
"I didn't mean for you to go hungry. Your little body needs some care; clearing out your system is the first step." When Bai Su contacted him earlier, he briefly mentioned Ouyang Zixin's condition. Although the specifics needed further examination, clearing her system was essential.
"Care? You want to take care of my body?" Ouyang Zixin had once suspected that her parents didn’t simply send her away from the capital's corrupt environment. She didn't expect that their Old Friend would also understand how to provide care.
"Yes, otherwise why do you think Susu brought you here?" He walked over to the bedside and gestured for Ouyang Zixin to extend a hand; he wanted to check her condition first.
"Susu? Bai Su? My mother?" This was the first time Ouyang Zixin heard someone refer to her mother in such a way. Even her father had only called her by her title without using her name.
"Shut your mouth; why are you gaping like that?" Rong Yi placed two fingers on Ouyang Zixin's wrist and extended his Mysterious Energy.
After a thorough examination, Rong Yi gained a general understanding of Ouyang Zixin's physical condition. He pondered what method would be best for her care. Her situation was quite complex; it seemed as though a layer of Mysterious Energy covered her exterior, but internally her meridians were blocked. External forces could penetrate, but it was difficult for her to circulate Mysterious Energy within herself.
"What is your relationship with my mother?" Just as Rong Yi was deep in thought, Ouyang Zixin curiously asked.
"Lover." Rong Yi was lost in his thoughts and answered Ouyang Zixin's question without any guard.
