Mo Yunjing was now sitting on the bed, slowly channeling Qi to protect his five internal organs and six fu.
An Xue Tang suddenly let out a contemptuous laugh, causing him to slowly open his eyes and draw in a breath. He leaned back against the headboard and said to An Xue Tang, “Tangtang, what are you laughing at?”
An Xue Tang came back to her senses, a smile playing on her lips as she looked at Mo Yun Jing, “Nothing, just heard some rather humorous remarks.”
“Huh?”
Mo Yunjing raised an eyebrow. He considered himself to have very good hearing, but he hadn’t heard any sounds just now. How could his little Tangtang say she had heard someone else speaking?
<I don't know what he was thinking, Mo Yunjing tightened his hands, "Did Tangtang hear something?"
An Xuetang didn’t notice Mo Yunjing’s strange look. She directly told him what she had just heard, in a joking tone.
After she finished speaking, she realized that Mo Yunjing’s deep black eyes were fixed on her.
At this moment, An Xuetang finally realized something!
How could she have heard them talking in that courtyard, behind closed doors?
Now that she’s told Mo Yunjing she can hear him, isn’t she… exposing herself?
An Xuetang blinked, and after racking her brains for a long time, she still couldn’t figure out how to explain to Mo Yunjing. Looking into Mo Yunjing’s deep eyes, she simply spread her hands and said with a somewhat defiant air:
“Ah Jing, don’t ask me why, because I don’t know myself why. Just remember that it is really audible.”
Mo Yunjing still didn’t speak. He just kept looking at An Xuetang in silence.
An Xuetang felt a shiver run down her spine. His gaze made her uneasy. She immediately put down the herbs in her hands and walked to the bedside, sitting down. “That… Ajing, if you have something to say, just say it, okay? You’re staring at me like that, I’m scared!”
Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes slightly. Before he could speak, An Xuetang suddenly said again, “That’s not right! Ajing, you actually know, don’t you? Last time… at Jinchuan Temple, didn’t you test me? You knew I could hear.”
She also suddenly remembered, that time in the restricted area of Jinchuan Temple, Mo Yunjing went to look for her. At that time, he suddenly stopped halfway up the mountain and called out to her. She didn’t think much about it at the time and just followed the sound to find him.
So, this wasn’t the first time he had learned about her ability to hear sounds from afar!
At that time, Mo Yunjing raised an eyebrow, “That time, I thought we two were because of a kindred spirit, so as soon as I appeared, you could know.”
Although he had some suspicions at the time, he couldn’t quite bring himself to believe it was what he thought.
But after these few things happened, he increasingly felt that his queen’s ears were probably very different from ordinary people!
Just now when he heard what she said, he finally dared to confirm that his little sugar’s ears were indeed extraordinary!
She could actually hear so clearly the discussions in the rooms of that courtyard far away. In this world, he had met many strange and unusual people, but such a thing, he had never heard of before.
An Xuetang didn’t want to hide it from him at this point, besides, they had been through so much together. What was the point of hiding this little trick from him?
Thus, An Xue Tang informed him of her “skill” at that moment, which allowed her to hear all sounds within a fifty-meter radius.
After she finished speaking, she and Mo Yunjing looked at each other. Neither of them spoke.
They just stood there, locked in silence. An Xue Tang didn’t speak, mainly because she wanted to give him some time to process it all. After all, when she first realized she had this kind of “cheat”, she couldn’t bring herself to accept it easily either.
But over time, she was very clear that this kind of ‘skill’ brought her a lot of convenience, especially when facing dangerous moments, she could grasp the enemy’s movements more clearly.
I just don’t know if her family, Ajing, can accept that she has such ‘skills’ now.
Both fell silent for a moment. Mo Yun Jing frowned, his expression grave as he looked at her, “Tang Tang, you can hear sounds so far away, and so clearly… then wouldn’t your ears be incredibly noisy every day?”
“….”
An Xuetang had thought he would rebuke her, asking if she had eavesdropped on his conversations or something like that. She hadn’t expected his first words to be a concern for her well-being. She had to admit, her heart was touched by it instantly.
She pursed her lips and looked at Mo Yunjing, “Mo Jing, you’re so good to me.”
“Having said that, she quickly explained, “But you needn’t worry about it. I can only hear voices if I want to, and only if I silently think about listening in my mind. In my daily life, I rarely use this way to eavesdrop on people’s conversations.”
Saying “eavesdropping” out loud, An Xuetang’s own face flushed red. She hadn’t eavesdropped on Mo Yunjing and Feng Ming’s so-called “whispers” too few times.
After hearing An Xuetang’s explanation, knowing that she wouldn’t be swayed, Mo Yunjing finally let out a slight breath of relief. However, the next instant, he suddenly narrowed his dangerous eyes, staring at An Xuetang with an unclear meaning in his voice, “So… how many things has Tangtang eavesdropped on?”
“!”
An Xue Tang cleared her throat awkwardly, her eyes dodging slightly. Sure enough, what was going to come had arrived!
She knew that her Ah Jing wouldn’t let this go so easily.
At this moment, An Xue Tang lowered her head, upholding an attitude of “being lenient in confession and strict in resistance.” Her voice was weak as she said, “Anyway… even if I say I haven’t heard it, you wouldn’t believe me. But I can guarantee that I really didn’t eavesdrop all the time.”
Mo Yun’s deep-set eyes stared at her, suddenly ceasing to question and simply fixing their gaze upon her.
An Xuetang felt like her head was about to be poked through a hole by his gaze.
Just as she was about to confront him, telling him whatever was bothering him to just say it, who knew that Mo Yunjing suddenly let out a light laugh.
Hearing his laughter, An Xuetang’s heart that had been hanging in the air instantly dropped. She slowly lifted her head and looked into his eyes, “A Jing, you’re not angry?”
Mo Yunjing reached out and rubbed her head, “I’m not angry. I’m happy that you have this ability. It just so happens that you already know about my condition, right?”
This is what he truly cared about. To avoid worrying her, he went to great lengths to conceal the fact that he had lost eighty percent of his power. However, unbeknownst to him, she already knew.
“An Xue Tang nodded slightly at this, “Mm, I understand. But don’t worry, A Jing, I have a way to help you recover your lost power, so don’t lose heart. And please, stop thinking about moving me to a safer place and staying behind to die with that man.”
“Speaking of which, An Xuetang’s expression suddenly became very serious, “Ajing, you should know that your life has already belonged to me. Without my permission, you are not allowed to gamble with this life I saved so hard! No matter what game or for any reason!”
