819 Immaculate (1/2)

Mo Wen lay on the bed for the whole night, motionless. It was not until the following morning that he could move his arm slightly. However, wanting to stand up was still somewhat difficult.

Mo Wen discovered that he lay in a shabby looking wooden house. The doors, windows, and furniture all seemed somewhat old, but they were very clean, and the ground seemed spotless.

He did not know how he had got here. In his blurry memory, it seemed that a young maiden had rescued him. He had been completely unconscious. However, an ancient martial art practitioner of his level would always maintain a sharp sense of the surrounding events. If danger approached, even if they were unconscious, they had the ability to somewhat respond.

He did not know how long he been lying on the bed for when he heard a creaking sound. The wooden door had been opened by someone from the outside. A little girl who was about fourteen or fifteen walked in. She wore a green dress and was holding a bowl of hot porridge.

”You're awake?” Su Wan'er saw that Mo Wen had already opened his eyes. A look of joy flashed in her eyes.

”Did you rescue me?” Mo Wen gave Su Wan'er a curious glance. It turned out that the person that rescued him was very young indeed.

”I only brought you back from the forest. I did not do anything,” Su Wan'er said with a red face. She became embarrassed when talking with a stranger.

”Thank you.” Mo Wen smiled. This young maiden was kind-hearted.

”Eat this bowl of porridge. You are injured, so you can't eat oily and spicy foods.” Su Wan'er walked up to beside Mo Wen and passed him the bowl.

Mo Wen originally wanted to say that he did not need to eat. In reality, even if he did not eat or drink for several months, it would not be a problem. But seeing Su Wan'er's pure eyes, he swallowed his words and raised his hands to receive the bowl. However, his injuries were too severe. Although he could just about raise his elbow, he could not lift anything at all. He had only managed to lift his arm slightly when it fell straight back down again.

Su Wan'er immediately realized that Mo Wen might not be able to feed himself. In a panic, she said, ”Sorry, sorry. Your injuries are quite severe, aren't they? Do you want me to feed you?”

Mo Wen looked at Su Wan'er, then looked at the bowl in her hand. He did not speak for a while. He had never been fed porridge by a little girl. He was an adult, while Su Wan'er was just a teenager. This scene was somewhat strange no matter how he looked at it.

”This porridge… I cooked it… there is absolutely no problem with it…”

Su Wan'er saw that Mo Wen was staring at the bowl in her hand. She misunderstood and thought that Mo Wen was afraid that she had poisoned the porridge in the bowl. Sect Younger Uncle Liu, who loved to tell stories, always said that the Jianghu was fraught with danger. If one was careless, they would be poisoned to death by others. She thought that Mo Wen was worried about this.

Upon hearing this, Mo Wen did not know whether to laugh or cry. This young maiden was a bit too innocent. If it were any other person, even if they had not considered the possibility of poison would most likely be suspicious now that she had mentioned it.

”Then, thank you,” Mo Wen said with a smile.

Only then did Su Wan'er walk over demurely to the side of the bed. She used a spoon to stir and cool the white porridge while she scooped up the top layer of and delivered it to Mo Wen's mouth.

Mo Wen did not hesitate either and opened his mouth to eat.

”I am Mo Wen. What's your name?” Mo Wen said.

”Su Wan'er,” Su Wan'er said softly with a red face. She lowered her head and stirred the porridge in the bowl, somewhat bashful.

”Wan'er, what place is this?” Mo Wen tried his best to act in a friendly manner.

”This is the Five Tigers Sect.” Su Wan'er considered that Mo Wen might not be a person from the Jianghu and so would not know about the existence of ancient martial arts sects. She then immediately said, We are deep within the Taihang Mountains. It is not far from the forest that you were unconscious in. Why were you unconscious in the forest?”

Su Wan'er was just a young maiden. She was curious and could not help but ask such a question.
