The Unknown Beauty 177 Help! 1

"Bingwen, I'm fine. There was an unexpected encounter but everything is fine," said Lin Yu Yan.

Han Bingwen looked at her in the eyes, worried, and grabbed some of the healing cream Li Dan E made. Lin Yu Yan lifted her outfit to show him the back of her leg. There is two small dots, visible to the eye, that has blood dripping down her skin.

"How did you get it?" said Han Bingwen.

"I think it was that water needle technique from that dead sea king we had to fight," said Lin Yu Yan.

"When you arrived at the auction, you had a few scratches and marks that healed as soon as we put the healing cream. How come these two didn't heal?" said Han Bingwen. He touched it and it felt very weird for Lin Yu Yan to have him touch her.

"Sorry, did it hurt?" asked Han Bingwen. He noticed the face change.

"No. I don't usually have people touch my legs," said Lin Yu Yan, blushing. Han Bingwen blushed slightly and couldn't help to think how cute of an expression she has at the moment.

"Anyway, that is true. I have been feeling some pain there now that I think about it. I didn't think it was such a big deal."

"Stay still as I check on it for a little longer."

He takes a look at it again and slightly pressed down on the two dots on her leg and he can feel a slight hardness on them. Lin Yu Yan face scrunched.

"Did that hurt?"

"Not really but it feels like something is there."

"Let me grab something to take them out."

Han Bingwen went to look at the tools on the table and grabs a pair of tweezers to help get whatever was in her, out.

"It might hurt so please bare with it."

Han Bingwen didn't want to hurt Lin Yu Yan anymore but he had to get rid of whatever was in her body. Lin Yu Yan could bare with the pain since it didn't hurt as much as what her family did to her. Han Bingwen was able to get the thing out of her leg and was relieved it was nothing more than that.

"I found two needles," said Han Bingwen, showing Lin Yu Yan the needles.

"Wow… Min Fu-Han camouflage it with the water needle technique," said Lin Yu yan, a little impressed. "It's laced with the same drug in the needle of Peng Ai's sea snake."

"He was able to control the sea snake with it right?"

"Yeah… does that mean he wanted to control me? Ah… no wonder he was always trying to aim for my neck."

After all, it's where the connection of the head and body meets and the most safest spot to place a needle without killing the subject.

"Tsk… If I was there I wouldn't have let it happen…"

She watched as his face change from worry to frustration. She couldn't help but feel bad for making him feel this way. She never intended to hurt him this way. Han Bingwen wished to be by Lin Yu Yan's side all the time.

"I'm sorry... I know you want to be with me all the time but there will be times where you won't be with me. I have to learn to protect myself... and of course so I can also protect everyone else."

Lin Yu Yan flicked him on the forehead and crossed her hands. She sighed and smiled at him to reassure him.

"Besides, I won't be dying anytime soon. I'm only 14 years old. I have plenty of time to enjoy life."

Han Bingwen smiled afterwards but his eyebrows were still crossed and hugged her tightly. Lin Yu Yan wasn't expecting that but she rubbed his back the help him feel better.

'Yu Yan…what would I do if you die? This is the first time I'm scared to lose someone.'

Han Bingwen finished wrapping the bandage on Lin Yu Yan's leg and left the infirmary. They arrived to the others to find one of the people they saved yelling and asking for help.

"Please! I need you to save my fiance!" said the woman.

"Please calm down!" said Xie Rong.

"Who is the leader here? Please! I need help!" said the woman.

"What's going on?" asked Lin Yu Yan to Meiying.

"She was one of the people we saved. Apparently she forgot her memories and remembered them when we entered her home," said Meiying.

"I see... by the way, I want you to check on everyone again. Turns out I had one of Min Fu-Han's needles inside my leg. Make sure no one has it."

"Yes. I'll get Xie Rong to help," said Meiying, walking away.

Lin Yu Yan was walking towards them and asked, "What's seems to be the problem?"

The lady has dark brown hair and has a dignified aura around her even if she is covered in dirt and wounds all over.

"Sorry but I need help. My fiance's father is going to destroy the Chu Empire!"

"???"

"My fiance's father, Minister Quan is going to destroy the Chu Empire! It's going to happen soon! I think it's happening tomorrow!"

Lin Yu Yan was surprised to hear that from her. "Who is your fiance?"

"It's Quan Xue. This house used to belong to my family until they were killed by that crazy man next to the slave building," said the woman. "My name is Ma Ting. Minister Quan has been working with the crazy man for a while and as one of the condition the man had was to have people to experiment with."

"Wait... This is your home? So your family didn't die from an unknown disease?" asked Lin Yu Yan.

"They died because of some weird drug he placed in our food. I was the only one who was able to resist it… The moment I entered the courtyard of my home… all those memories came back to me."

"Well… Quan Xue is also going to be part of the destruction. I wouldn't trust him," said Lin Yu Yan. 'I'm surprised you still consider him as your fiance.'

"No! I know he isn't like that! He has been trying to get away from his family but his father is pinning him down. Please! Please save him!"

Lin Yu Yan looked at Ma Ting. 'No wonder he had those sad eyes when he approached me… Was he leading me to destroy his father…? I mean the excuse he had to make the Chu Emperor look bad wasn't very convincing either so…'

Ma Ting was explaining her situation as Lin Yu Yan was explaining her troubles

'Ah… he wants me to get rid of him too," thought Lin Yu Yan.

"Let me speak to your leader! Please!"

The others around looked at her, not sure if they can trust her.

"Yu Yan. What do you think?" asked Chu Yang.

"Are we really going to help her, Yu Yan?" said Gu Xiang.

"What if it's a trap?" said Wei Ru.

"I mean... as long as it doesn't hurt the Wang Empire..." said Wang Ping.

They all looked at Lin Yu Yan still thinking on what to do and Ma Ting looked confused. 'Wait... isn't that First General!? And is that the Wang Prince?! What are they doing here? Why are they asking the pretty girl? She is so young...'

They were speaking among themselves and Ma Ting had a good look at all of them.

'Not only that... they are all young... That pretty girl... is she...?'

"You're the leader?" asked Ma Ting.

Lin Yu Yan was surprised to hear that from Ma Ting. Lin Yu Yan never really thought about herself being the leader. It came naturally to her to plan things swiftly and everyone just goes with it. "I wouldn't consider myself as the leader... Just a good friend."

"Then... can you help save my fiance?"

"Well..... It really depends on his answer."
