Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Su Quan looked at Jiang Yuyan kneeling in front of her, her little face covered in dirt, but before she could speak, she was still speechless.

Jiang Yuyan had already picked up the medicine bottle next to her and carefully untied the old strips of cloth for her.

"Sister, just bear with it."

Her voice was soft, but her hands moved with remarkable efficiency. She washed the wound, applied medicine, and then re-wrapped it with strips of cloth she tore from the hem of her own clothes, tying the knots securely and neatly.

Watching from the side, Xiao Shuang'er's guard had long since vanished, leaving only deep sympathy.

"Sister Yu Yan, I didn't know you knew so much."

Jiang Yuyan's hands didn't stop moving, her head bowed even lower. "Back in the day, servants were always getting hurt. After seeing it so many times, I... I learned a little bit."

This makes perfect sense. Even if a young lady from a wealthy family is not favored, she still has more experience and knowledge than ordinary people.

Su Quan leaned against the carriage wall, letting Jiang Yuyan tend to her wounds, but her phoenix eyes were half-closed, watching the reactions of everyone in the carriage.

She's a kind-hearted little girl, easy to manipulate.

This older sister looks composed, but she hasn't experienced many hardships.

As for that man... Su Quan didn't dare to look at Qin Han, and could only try to guess his unfathomable thoughts from his steady and long breathing.

After the bandaging was finished, Jiang Yuyan silently retreated to the side, as if she was meant to stay there.

After a while, as if she remembered something, she leaned closer to Su Quan and asked in a voice barely above a whisper, "Sister Quan, is our benefactor... a very famous hero in the martial arts world? My father is also a hero, perhaps they know him."

She mentioned Jiang Biehe.

Su Quan sneered inwardly, but remained outwardly calm. Instead, she took Jiang Yuyan's hand and patted it gently.

"A young master is just a young master; he doesn't have any special title."

"Just know this: following the young master is a hundred times better than following your great-hero father."

Jiang Yuyan's body stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment, then returned to its supple state. She simply nodded obediently and asked no further questions.

Inside the carriage, Qin Han kept his eyes closed, as if he had already fallen asleep.

Jiang Yuyan's performance was perfect from beginning to end.

Unfortunately, he knew the script. A woman who would turn her own father into a human pig in order to climb the social ladder, her pitiful appearance at this moment is nothing more than a venomous snake's disguise before it preys on its prey.

That's interesting. What this woman just said was probably all a lie. She must have at least met Jiang Biehe.

Qin Han didn't even bother to expose her. Keeping a venomous snake that hadn't yet grown into a threat as a pet, and seeing what kind of trouble she could cause, wasn't a bad kind of fun.

Su Quan inadvertently looked up and met Qin Han's eyes, which had opened at some point.

There was no emotion in his eyes; he simply looked at her calmly.

Su Quan understood.

She turned her head slightly to avoid Jiang Yuyan's gaze, and silently mouthed a few words to Qin Han.

There's something wrong with this woman.

Qin Han slowly closed his eyes, as a response.

A smart woman can always save herself a lot of unnecessary trouble.

into the night.

The group rested at an inn in the small town ahead.

Qin Han requested the largest superior room, with a large communal bed in the outer room for the four women to sleep on, and his own bed in the inner room.

Jiang Yuyan conscientiously took on all the chores, fetching water, making beds, and helping everyone wash up. She was more attentive than the most clever waiter in the inn.

Da Shuang'er and Xiao Shuang'er grew even more fond of her, and started calling her "Sister Yu Yan" all the time.

Su Quan simply watched, occasionally chiming in with a word or two, keeping a respectful distance.

Once the hour of Hai (9-11 PM) has passed, the lights outside are extinguished.

Qin Han lay on the bed in the inner room, breathing steadily, as if he were asleep.

He didn't sleep.

He could hear the breathing of the four women in the outer room clearly, even through the screen.

The breathing of Da Shuang'er and Xiao Shuang'er was the most even.

Su Quan's breathing was weak from the injury, but it was long and resilient, indicating that she was still physically strong.

And Jiang Yuyan...

Her breathing was the lightest, almost imperceptible, like a cat that had concealed all its breath, lurking in the darkness.

Time passes little by little.

child time.

A very faint sound of footsteps came from outside.

coming.

Qin Han remained motionless, continuing to play the role of a sleeping traveler.

A slender figure silently slid off the bed, bathed in the faint moonlight filtering through the window.

She walked barefoot, making no sound as she stepped onto the floor, towards the inner room.

The figure stopped beside Qin Han's bed.

She stood there for a long time, seemingly trying to confirm whether Qin Han was truly asleep.

In the darkness, a faint fragrance wafted by, not the usual scent of a woman's cosmetics, but a very subtle, herbal aroma.

Jiang Yuyan slowly bent down.

Her face was very close to Qin Han's, so close that he could feel her warm breath.

A calm voice suddenly rang out in the deathly silent room.

"It seems you're not a honest woman. You've probably already met your biological father, Jiang Biehe. Could it be that you've learned these petty thieving skills from him?"

Jiang Yuyan's outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

It was as if he had been struck by lightning; his blood froze, and every part of his body went out of control.

Qin Han sat up, and in the darkness, Jiang Yuyan felt an invisible aura pressing down on her.

"I can't be bothered to know why you approached me. I left you in the car not because I pity you, but because I think you might still be of some use."

"It would be fine if you just obediently served as a maid. But to dare to scheme..."

Qin Han paused for a moment, as if thinking of a suitable word.

"I'll break your legs and sell you straight to a brothel."

Jiang Yuyan's mind went blank. She didn't understand how she had been discovered, but she knew that there was no point in saying anything now.

"thump!"

His legs buckled and he collapsed to his knees, his forehead hitting the wooden board.

"This servant...this servant knows she was wrong...this servant was just..."

Qin Han interrupted the rest of his rambling.

"I have no interest in knowing whether you were threatened or did it willingly. Now you either have to be a good servant or leave."

"This servant...this servant thanks you for sparing my life...I am willing, willing to stay and serve the young master and young lady!"

……

the next day.

Just as dawn was breaking, Qin Han dismissed the coachman, giving him three times the usual amount of silver.

Jiang Yuyan's face was pale, and her eyes were covered with dark circles. She hadn't slept all night.

I have no idea what happened last night.

After finishing his breakfast, Qin Han didn't even glance at her, but simply pointed with his chin towards the carriage in the courtyard.

"You'll be the one catching the train from now on."

Jiang Yuyan silently turned around and walked towards the carriage.

He climbed onto the carriage shaft, picked up the reins, and his movements were surprisingly practiced.

The carriage slowly drove out of the inn.

Inside the carriage, Xiao Shuang'er sensed that something was off about the atmosphere. She tried to speak several times, but Da Shuang'er stopped her with a look.

Su Quan leaned against the corner with her eyes closed, as if nothing had happened last night.

After the carriage had been traveling for about an hour, a three-way intersection appeared on the official road ahead.

Just as Jiang Yuyan was hesitating about which path to take, a powerful surge of true energy erupted from the depths of the central fork in the road!

The horse was startled and let out a long neigh.
