He Has a Sickness that Needs to be Cured

Chapter 266

unedited

The two servants that Ferro arranged for Xi Ning stood guard outside the door. No matter how you looked at it, it didn’t seem that Xi Ning’s was short of manpower. Lin An thought for a moment in silence, and then replied, “I need to inform the mercenary group commander first.”

“So you agree?” Xi Ning said with a smile, this was probably his happiest time in the past few days, and he quickly made a decision, “Then you stay here first, after the carriage stop for lunch at noon, you can then go to find the mercenary group commander.”

Lin An was dazzled by his smile, lowered his eyes and replied in a low voice, “Yes, Your Highness.”

He didn’t actually serve anyone before. After joining the mercenary group, he only did some chores. Lin An hesitated for a while, and when Xi Ning got up and sat on the edge of the couch, he went to make a pot of tea and poured a cup for Xi Ning.

The cup was still a little hot, when Xi Ning reached out and touched the wall of the cup, red marks appeared on his fingertips. He leaned in and blew the tea, then took a small sip.

Seeing him drinking, Lin An asked, “I’ll go outside the carriage first? Just call me if you have any other orders.”

He could never stand in the carriage, let alone sit down with Xi Ning.

“No,” Xi Ning didn’t want him to leave his sight, so he made an excuse, “I’m a little tired, massage my shoulders for me.”

He leaned against the couch, and Lin An went around to his side, gently tidied up the hair on his shoulders, and massaged it with the right amount of force.

Xi Ning slept late yesterday, he felt sleepy after a while. With Lin An by his side, he felt very at ease, and in a daze, he said to Lin An behind him, “Don’t worry, you are different from others……”

What’s different? Is it because of his face? Lin An waited until Xi Ning fell asleep before he stopped massaging his shoulder and walked around in front of Xi Ning silently.

Xi Ning fell asleep at ease, Lin An looked down for a while, and put his hand on Xi Ning’s neck.

His slender neck looks like it can be broken with just a little force, and Xi Ning wouldn’t even know who killed him.

The skin under the fingertips was delicate and warm. When Lin An was about to withdraw his hand, he unconsciously rubbed Xi Ning’s cheek lightly.

Xi Ning seemed to feel something, and rubbed his fingers with his head, but there was no sign of waking up.

Lin An almost thought that Xi Ning was pretending to be asleep and did it on purpose, but why did Xi Ning want to “please” him? An ordinary slave?

In the end, Lin An quietly exited the carriage and sat outside with the guard.

The system saw everything and was very confused. When Lin An grabbed Xi Ning’s neck, it wanted to wake Xi Ning up, but Lin An quickly released it and touched Xi Ning’s cheek.

It is not sure of Lin An’s intentions. According to previous world experience, Lin An’s identity may not be so simple. The action of him choking Xi Ning……

The negative emotions of Xi Ning in this world are a bit heavy, and the system is entangled in whether to tell Xi Ning as it is scared that it will sadden Xi Ning.

It thought about it for a long time, but decided to hide it first. Since telling Xi Ning about it now  doesn’t seem to help with either their relationship and missions.

When they stopped to eat and rest at noon, the mercenary group commander caught a glimpse of Lin An and Xi Ning together and gasped in shock. Lin An also saw him, and after talking to Xi Ning, he walked towards him.

The mercenary group commander looked around, lowered his voice and asked, “What’s going on? That elf……”

“I’ll be with him for the time being, don’t worry about me.” Lin An paused, as if he had something to say, but he still didn’t speak up, and turned back to Xi Ning.

The mercenary group commander saw that he seemed like his usual self, it didn’t look like he was being coerced, plus he shouldn’t let himself be bullied, so he let him go.

Xi Ning kept looking in their direction, for fear that the mercenary group commander would disagree. After Lin An returned and said that he had informed the mercenary group commander about the matter, Xi Ning was finally relieved.

“Let’s go to have dinner with me,” he went to pull Lin An’s arm, but Lin An avoided his hands, so

Xi Ning had to withdraw his hand, “You have to serve me closely, and you can’t leave me half a step.”

The two guards assigned by His Majesty Ferro were still standing on the side, and they didn’t know what was so special about this masked man. Why did Xi Ning want that person to serve him suddenly, and Lin An seemed to be reluctant.

The two complained in their hearts, but they had no right to intervene in Xi Ning’s decision. After Xi Ning left with Lin An, they also went to another dining shed for dinner.

Ferro had already get notified from his subordinates that Xi Ning had asked for a slave from the mercenary group to serve him. He saw Lin An wearing a mask and guessed that it was the man with half of his face disfigured. “His Royal Highness, I am sorry that you have to bear with me again at noon, we will be able to go to the nearby town at night.”

Xi Ning said that he didn’t mind, and sat down at the table. The dwarf on the opposite side kept staring at Lin An, “Why are you wearing a mask? You can’t look at people? Or you look too ugly……”

“That’s none of your business.” Xi Ning said displeased, “Just eat your meal.”

This was the first time the dwarf saw Xi Ning become angry. He was always talkative but didn’t have any bad thoughts, so he didn’t say anything when Xi Ning scolded him.
