Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 161 Who caused Xin'er's injuries?
"Sister, does it hurt?" Lin Nan asked, her voice trembling with tears, looking at Lin Xin's still bleeding wound.

"Of course it hurts! Don't ask such a stupid question." Lin Tao glanced at the tearful Lin Nan and said helplessly, "You'd better hurry up and get the medicine for your aunt! What's the use of just asking? Will it stop the bleeding or stop the pain?"

"Yes, Tao Tao is right, I'm confused too." Lin Nan wiped her face haphazardly, turned around and walked to the place where the luggage was piled up to start rummaging through it.

"Auntie, don't be afraid. When I get back to the palace, I'll have my father kill them all to avenge you!" Lin Tao finally chased Lin Nan away and stood in front of Lin Xin, speaking to her earnestly like a little adult.

"Okay, Auntie is waiting for you to get revenge for me!" Lin Xin smiled and ruffled his hair.

She had used up too much of her wood-based abilities by tripping up the man in black, and had just used them to repair the wound on her abdomen. Now she had very little left, and couldn't even stop her own bleeding.

"I'm serious!" Lin Tao tilted his head unhappily.

"Okay, Auntie understands." Lin Xin nodded earnestly, seeing the seriousness in his eyes.

Lin Tao was finally satisfied. He gently approached the wound on Lin Xin's shoulder and blew on it in small breaths. "Blowing on it will make it stop hurting!"

Lin Nan finally found the self-defense medicine that Cui Shi had given him, took it and handed it to Lin Xin, "Sister, can you manage by yourself?"

"Yes!" Lin Xin answered decisively.

Having received her affirmative answer, Lin Nan dragged Lin Tao to the corner of the carriage and sat him down, pulling him into her arms and restraining his limbs to prevent him from moving.

"What are you doing!" Lin Tao asked while struggling.

"Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other? My sister is a girl, you can't watch her apply medicine!" Lin Nan replied confidently.

"Well... alright then!" Lin Tao remembered that Meng Yichen seemed to have indeed taught him this, so he gave up struggling and obediently nestled in Lin Nan's arms.

Hearing their conversation, Lin Xin felt like she would be laughed at so hard her wounds would burst open. This little kid already knew about the proper distance between boys and girls? Had he forgotten what he did when he was Lin Tao's age? What an unlovable little brat!

Lin Xin moved her legs, which were already somewhat numb, and used a dagger to cut open the clothes around her wound, carefully applying medicine to herself.

It must be said that Cui Shi's medical skills are indeed superb. After applying the ointment, the originally burning wound was immediately covered with a cooling sensation, and the pain was greatly reduced.

After applying the medicine, exhaustion overwhelmed her. Lin Xin carefully moved her body, trying to find a comfortable position without aggravating her injuries, and then fell asleep almost instantly.

The two little ones waited for a long time but Lin Xin didn't call them. Lin Tao forcefully pulled Lin Nan's hand away from his eyes and saw Lin Xin lying there. He immediately cried out in surprise and patted Lin Nan behind him: "Auntie has fainted! Go and see her quickly!"

Lin Nan practically scrambled over to her, first carefully observing her complexion, then checking her breathing. He found that although her face was pale, her breathing was steady, so he knew that she was most likely not unconscious, but asleep.

He took her pulse in both hands again, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He glared at Lin Tao, who was staring at him expectantly, and said, "What are you yelling about? My sister is just tired and has fallen asleep. She didn't faint!"

"Really? That's great!" Lin Tao wasn't angry even after being scolded. "My sister was too tired, so she fell asleep. She protected us all the way, now it's our turn to protect her!" Lin Nan sat down next to Lin Xin and said softly.

“Okay, I’ll go with you!” Lin Tao sat down next to him.

Outside the carriage, Mo Ziyuan was like a god of death descending to earth. None of the remaining men in black could escape his sword; without exception, all of them had their legs severed.

Gao Yong and the others knew he was upset, so none of them had attacked the royal guards before, only intervening to stop them when they tried to escape.

Everyone had just witnessed Lin Xin's terrible condition. Now that the battle was over, Gao Yong immediately asked her, "Is Miss Lin alright?"

Mo Ziyuan shook his head. "She should be fine. I'll go see her after I've dealt with these people."

After saying that, he walked expressionlessly to the nearest man in black, sword in hand.

The murderous intent in his eyes was so palpable that even the royal guards, who had long vowed to sacrifice their lives for their master, couldn't help but tremble.

"Thump, thump, thump..." Mo Ziyuan's footsteps were extremely heavy, each step seemed to tread on the hearts of the royal guards, making them forget the pain in their legs and involuntarily scoot back.

"You're scared now? Weren't you very brave when you were dealing with my Xin'er? Tell me, who inflicted these injuries on her? Which hand did they use?" Mo Ziyuan's icy voice rang out above them.

None of them spoke.

Mo Ziyuan seemed to have no need for their answers. He looked down at the man in black, flicked his wrist, and the tip of his sword lightly grazed the man's face. The black cloth covering his face was instantly split in two and fell to the sides, revealing an ordinary face to everyone.

"Wow, so this is what the secret guards look like?" Gao Yong said, peeking out and commenting.

Mo Ziyuan ignored him, instead tracing the tip of his sword down the guard's brow until it stopped at his throat. "I've heard that a single sword to the throat kills quickly and with almost no pain. Why don't you experience it for me and then tell me the answer?"

The guard's brow twitched. "What nonsense! I've already sealed his throat with a single sword strike, why would I tell you!"
"If you don't answer, I'll take that as a yes!" Mo Ziyuan said, then slit the guard's throat with his sword. As his blood spurted out, he nimbly dodged to the side, escaping the fate of having his face covered in blood.

But Gao Yong, who was standing behind him, was in a worse situation. Almost all of the guard's blood splattered onto him, adding another red stain to his already filthy outer robe.

"Damn it, Ziyuan, you didn't even warn me before you attacked! Look at all this blood on me!" He yelled, looking at his clothes.

The man in black clutched his throat, his eyes filled with an unusual terror, seemingly not expecting Mo Ziyuan to attack without even a word.

He could feel darkness creeping in, and the blood in his body was gushing out. Blood filled his chest, and with each cough, a cloud of blood foam came out.

Gradually, his struggles weakened, and finally he stopped moving...
