Chapter 274: Chapter 294: When Will You Be Honest? _1

"I was attacked by the Chu Family, but fortunately, I sensed it early and called Han Wei to rescue me. Otherwise, it would have been worse today."

Lin Chen gritted his teeth and took off his clothes, revealing multiple abrasions and bleeding skin, as well as many long wounds caused by shattered bricks and stones.

These injuries weren’t severe since Lin Chen had the protection of Gang Qi, but they were terrifying to look at due to their size and number, covering his entire upper body.

Lin Chen found a pair of shorts and stood up, "My head is full of dust; I need to wash it."

Chu Jiaxue stood up as well, "You can’t touch water on your wounds. I’ll help you."

Lin Chen didn’t refuse, "Okay."

They went to the bathroom, and Chu Jiaxue took a bath towel, covered Lin Chen’s shoulders, and the wounds on his back. She adjusted the water temperature and lowered the faucet.

Lin Chen squatted while Chu Jiaxue helped rinse his hair.

Chu Jiaxue then filled the washbasin with water, soaked a washcloth, wrung it out, and carefully cleaned Lin Chen’s body, avoiding his wounds.

Chu Jiaxue was very meticulous, looking at the wounds on his body with pity in her eyes, her eyes reddening slightly.

"Does it hurt a lot?"

Chu Jiaxue was very gentle, not wanting to cause Lin Chen any pain.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "A little, but it’s not too painful. For cultivators, this is nothing."

Chu Jiaxue asked, "What happened? Why did the Chu Family attack you?"

Lin Chen explained the situation of the night, "I can barely handle the oldest one, and I could easily take on one weaker opponent. But I can’t beat them when they team up."

Chu Jiaxue worriedly asked, "Will they take any further action?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "They should be afraid now, worrying that I’ll launch a retaliatory operation."

As Chu Jiaxue scrubbed the dirty washcloth in boiling hot water, she asked, "Will you?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "There’s no need. Both sides have their own concerns right now. I’ll wait for now. Taking revenge on one or two people won’t do much good except escalating the situation."

Chu Jiaxue was silent for a few seconds and then softly asked, "Is it because of me?"

Lin Chen smiled lightly, "Yes and no. If I take revenge now, it’ll only make them more cautious and prepared. It’ll be harder to wipe them out in one fell swoop. Letting them think I’m hesitant to act may give me a better chance."

After wiping the upper body clean, Chu Jiaxue looked at the wounds on Lin Chen’s legs and her cheeks turned slightly red, "You should take off your pants."

Lin Chen took the towel with a grin, "I’ll do it myself. It’s not a big deal."

Chu Jiaxue wanted to say something, but Lin Chen put a hand on her shoulder and pushed her out of the bathroom.

Quickly, Lin Chen changed into another pair of shorts, his body still covered in wounds, but looking cleaner than before.

Shirtless, Lin Chen revealed his firm six-pack abs, radiating a masculine charm.

Although the injuries were eye-catching, they added a primitive wild charm to Lin Chen.

Chu Jiaxue’s heartbeat accelerated, but she tried to calm her heart and mind, picked up the medicine box Lin Chen had bought, took iodine, and cleaned and disinfected his wounds.

As the wounds weren’t large and were just scratches, there was no need for stitches. After disinfecting, it was enough to apply some ointment to the wounds.

After Chu Jiaxue finished taking care of the wounds on his back, Lin Chen laughed, "I’ll handle the rest."

But Chu Jiaxue insisted, "I’ll do it! I can’t help much with anything else. Let me do these little things for you so I can feel a little better."

Seeing Chu Jiaxue’s sad expression, Lin Chen reassured her, "These injuries are nothing. I’ve been through more dangerous missions before, and I’m still fine, aren’t I?"

Chu Jiaxue whispered, "But if you hadn’t been so cautious today, maybe..."

Lin Chen laughed, "Even if Han Wei hadn’t come, I could have escaped. I might have to rest for a month or two at most. As long as it’s not a Great Grandmaster, it won’t be easy to kill me. Don’t worry, my life is tough. The Chu Family can’t take it!"

Chu Jiaxue continued to carefully treat Lin Chen’s wounds, moving downward.

With her head down, focusing on the task, Chu Jiaxue didn’t notice that her robe had become quite open at the front.

Lin Chen looked down and saw a dazzling white.

As the cotton swab touched his wound, he felt a slight pain and an unusual feeling rising in his heart. After all, such a beautiful woman was right in front of him, close enough to breathe...

Chu Jiaxue suddenly stopped, her face turning bright red.

She saw Lin Chen’s strangeness, raised her head in embarrassment, only to meet his awkward gaze.

Chu Jiaxue came to her senses, looked down and saw her robe was open. A hint of anger appeared in her eyes.

She quickly adjusted her robe, gave Lin Chen a glare, and huffed, "What are you doing? Can’t you behave yourself at a time like this?"
