Seeing the current face of Long Xinghe, Jiang Tao's heart ached.
Her master's face... was completely ruined!
That day, to save the Prince, her master had knocked her out, told them to take her away, and faced the assassins herself.
She hadn't expected those assassins to be just the first wave.
There were still the medicine-infused warriors afterward.
To buy more time for everyone to take Wuya away, Long Xinghe personally faced the medicine-infused warrior legion.
She had underestimated the power of the medicine-infused warriors. She hadn't expected that these warriors were all highly poisonous all over their bodies.
She was poisoned. Her face had only sustained minor injuries, but unexpectedly, the blood of the medicine-infused warrior sprayed onto the injured area, and her face was thus ruined.
As for being poisoned, after detoxifying, her hair also turned white. The toxins remained in her body, unable to be completely cleared.
Currently, Long Xinghe, at first glance, apart from her figure still being that of a young woman, was like an old lady in every other aspect.
Therefore, she simply put on loose robes, making herself look like an old woman from head to toe.
Even Feng Wuya wouldn't recognize her.
In fact, Feng Wuya did not recognize her. Today's meeting was unexpected, but he showed no signs of faltering.
"But Master, you became like this to protect him. Do you really intend to never see him again for the rest of your life?"
Jiang Tao felt indignant and distressed for her master.
Her master had wronged herself too much.
Her devotion to the Prince was completely without regard for consequences, and she needed no reward!
The逍遥 Prince must have done many good deeds in his past life, accumulating merit and blessings, to have met their master in this life.
Long Xinghe sat on the chair and smiled lightly, "No."
"Master..."
"Wuya is too kind. If he knew I had become like this, he would feel obligated to please me, even to the point of marrying me."
"Isn't that good? Marrying the逍遥 Prince has always been Master's greatest wish!"
"But he will suffer his entire life." Who would be willing to marry such an ugly wife?
Yet, out of guilt, he would have to treat her well for the rest of his life.
She didn't need Feng Wuya to treat her this way, nor could she bear to see Wuya suffer any injustice.
"But Master, if you don't let him know about your situation, in the future, he will meet a girl he likes and be wholeheartedly with that girl. He won't remember you."
"So what? As long as he is happy, even if we are not together, if he lives well, I will be content."
Long Xinghe turned her face away, no longer looking at her, but the smile on her lips was genuine, without any pretense.
"After he meets Mr. Wuchenzi, I will return to Tengbei..."
"Master..." Jiang Tao really wanted to cry.
But she knew that her master hated her crying the most.
Yet her heart felt so sore!
"Don't say anymore. Where is the medicine? Take it out, I'll prepare it for him..."
"However, our Wuya might not be willing to be with other girls anymore." A deep voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Jiang Tao and Long Xinghe were startled.
Someone had arrived outside the door, and they hadn't noticed at all. One could imagine how profound their martial arts were!
Long Xinghe immediately tied the black cloth back onto her face, and also took a headscarf to wrap her hair.
Looking like this, she resembled an old woman even more.
The two looked towards the door.
The room door was pushed open, and Murong Yu walked in with a smile, "Don't be nervous. My martial arts are beyond your comparison, so it's not strange that you couldn't sense my approach."
She casually closed the room door and her gaze fell on Long Xinghe, "You finally met Wuya?"
