Four Split Personalities

Chapter 2228: Chapter 1048: Needless Worrying

"Woof woof woof~ woof woof woof♪"

At the edge of the training ground, the Quan Niang kneeling behind Motan hummed a jumbled tune while quickly applying the [Caselown White Medicine] on Motan with her small hands. The medicine was provided by the young Knights of the Diesel Family, led by Liyade Lin. Although not particularly valuable, it’s quite effective for treating minor injuries.

The item description says it can be used externally or internally, has effects of dissolving bruises, stopping bleeding, detoxifying, reducing swelling, and can also treat closed fractures, bronchial dilation, pulmonary tuberculosis coughing blood, and skin infections.

According to Jadka, he used to use it often after fighting with Demon Beasts on the prairie as a child.

Well, it was sent to those pitiful demon beasts after a sound beating...

In short, although it was not his intention, Motan still managed to conquer the rebellious young people from the Diesel delegation during their first meeting, and because of his final brave stand, he seemed to have also won over the leader among the young people, none other than Lady Liyade Lin·Blood Maple·L·Diesel.

"Ah... um... would it be better to go a bit lighter..."

The White Elf Female Knight standing to the side looked at Ya Ya’s teacher-like momentum with a conflicted expression, muttering softly as she vigorously worked on Motan’s back, which was covered with more than a dozen wounds.

"Woof!"

Ya Ya instinctively flashed her teeth at Liyade Lin, then coughed lightly and said with a big laugh, "It’s fine, Mo Wang has thick skin, can handle a bit of rough treatment."

After saying that she slapped Motan’s shoulder hard, directly bringing back the [Bleeding] DEBUFF that had just disappeared, simply put, it cracked at least four or five wounds.

"Ah!"

Seeing Motan’s wounds start bleeding again, Liyade Lin immediately let out a short cry and then glanced at the indifferent Ya Ya wretchedly, but could not say anything more.

They are adventure companions who have traveled widely with Mo, knowing each other’s backgrounds with no secrets, even prettier than herself, especially those long legs whose proportions surpass her, and the cute habit of saying "woof". Mo certainly wouldn’t mind having a few wounds cracked.

And herself...

Liyade Lin lowered her gaze and bit her lower lip with a silent sigh, her face full of conflict and guilt.

In her opinion, the responsibility for the injury falls entirely on herself. If it wasn’t for her impulsively squeezing out energy after finding it difficult to make progress in [Faux·Broken Sunset], forcibly integrating [Wave-breaking Sword] into her final strike, forcing Motan to exert full force to shatter her final sword move with a beautiful and powerful chaotic sword qi, putting her in a precarious situation due to weakness, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.

She thought her powerful technique used to neutralize that strike completed its task over-excessively, not only directly crushing the qi force she stirred up, but the ’aftershock’ nearly severely injured herself, a truly unexpected result for Jadka’s apprentice.

So, the other party had no choice but to forcefully push into her side and, using some extreme swift movement, pull her out of the danger center, at the cost of injuring himself with the battle technique he employed.

Liyade Lin’s mood is very complex, and she felt that the Half-Dragon People named Mo trusts her a lot, believing his last strike could neutralize her sword move, but she has failed that trust.

She knew more clearly that if the other party used the battle technique applied to rescue her from the start, relying on that terrifying speed, he could easily have placed his longsword upon her neck in an instant, cleanly winning the spar.

But for her own self-esteem, the other party didn’t do this. He even patiently accompanied her in a prolonged exchange, ultimately injuring himself to save her from danger.

Each time she thought about this, Liyade Lin would feel a stinging sensation on her cheeks.

And...

When she thought of him tightly holding her in the chaotic ’cherry blossom’ scene, disregarding his own injuries to carry her out of the center of the pink storm, of his gentle and deep eyes, of the subtle movements he made to hide the wounds on his back to avoid her guilt, Liyade Lin’s face would turn from stinging to burning, with white turning red, red within red.

But putting aside that girl’s weird filters (while the character Mo looks spirited, he’s not really handsome), her conjecture about the sequence of events is just half correct.

Indeed, Motan does have the ability to end the battle quickly, hence his initial prediction about [Three Moves]. Although Liyade Lin is indeed very strong, even outstanding among knights of the same level, Motan still has at least a dozen ways to easily defeat her.

Excluding the shameless (but reportedly forced into the skill set by the Knight’s Guide) skills, the simplest solution is to directly use [Swift Wind] to place the blade next to her long neck before she reacts.

However, Motan didn’t do this, but indeed as Liyade Lin speculated, patiently accompanied her for quite a while.

On this point, Liyade Lin’s guess is certainly correct.
