Spiritual Water Heals Wounds, Hidden Guards Appear

Furthermore, she felt that it was perhaps because of this personality that the young miss was willing to keep her by her side.

While Xuan Hua was lost in thought, the two of them arrived back at their courtyard.

As soon as they entered, Zhao Changge immediately told Xuan Hua to prepare a warm towel to compress her hands.

Only when the heat spread through her palms did she feel slightly better.

*It will definitely hurt even more tomorrow.*

During the meal, Zhao Changge could not even hold her chopsticks steadily, eventually having to switch to her left hand to eat.

After finishing lunch and resting for a while, she forced herself to get up and continue to Mister Ning’s courtyard.

As soon as she entered, Mister Ning instructed: “Your task this afternoon is to draw eggs, one egg per stroke, for a total of five hundred pictures.”

“Understood,” Zhao Changge nodded in response, obediently picking up the brush to begin drawing.

However, her wrist was no longer as flexible as it had been in the morning.

Mister Ning looked up slightly, quietly observing her hand, then moved his gaze to Zhao Changge’s face. Seeing her focused expression, his eyes darkened slightly with deep thought.

Talent is not the most important thing; what matters is perseverance. But as for the specifics, that remains to be seen later.

If there is an opportunity… it is not impossible for her to become a great talent.

### **Late Night.**

The numbness in her wrist made Zhao Changge unable to stop massaging it repeatedly. This was the consequence of not exercising for a long time; she wondered if the situation would improve after a few more days of practice.

The moment the thought flashed through her mind, she entered her Space.

She took some spiritual water from the Space to soak her hands. In an instant, the aching pain vanished completely.

Truly a divine object!

Zhao Changge stared at the water vat before her, her eyes filled with excitement. Was this not a supreme treasure?

Then, she glanced at the vast garden in front of her, where fruit trees were laden with heavy fruit. With a light laugh, she stepped forward, plucked a few fruits, and enjoyed them leisurely.

At the same time, two dark shadows flickered past Zhao Changge’s courtyard. When they landed on the corner of the wall, both their gazes instinctively turned toward her room, pausing for a moment before quickly vanishing into the night.

“Just now, someone suddenly disappeared,” Zi Yi whispered into Pei Yan’s ear, reporting in a low voice.

“Go.”

Pei Yan’s gaze swept over the most luxurious room in the courtyard, a hint of contemplation appearing in his eyes. That seemed to be the bedchamber of the Zhao family’s young miss?

If in that moment, the other person’s breath had abruptly vanished right within the courtyard, it was indeed quite strange.

While thinking, Pei Yan and Zi Yi appeared in Mister Ning’s courtyard.

“Jia has met the Master.” Seeing Pei Yan, Mister Ning cupped his hands in greeting.

“Aunt Ning.” Pei Yan looked at her, his voice deep. He had never thought that the person who had always been secretly protecting him—Aunt Ning—was actually one of the Hidden Guards left behind by his mother, and moreover, the leader of the Jia-rank Hidden Guards.

“It has been many years; Master has grown up.” Mister Ning looked at him, a hint of nostalgia appearing in her eyes.

Pei Yan looked directly at her, his eyes shining with an indescribable excitement. In the imperial harem full of schemes, Aunt Ning was the only person he cared about. Now that she had appeared by his side, it meant that from now on, he had nothing more to worry about.

“Why has Aunt Ning come to the Zhao Manor?” Pei Yan’s voice lowered, carrying a hint of inquiry.

“The Zhao Manor has no issues. I originally intended to go to Ping City to meet you, but I happened to see the Zhao family’s young miss’s paintings and stopped by.”

“Zhao Changge?” Pei Yan softly repeated the name, an inexplicable feeling rising in his heart.

“Master also knows her?” Mister Ning was surprised.
