Long Jinjing screamed from shock and fright when one of the people fighting got stabbed by a dagger in the arm. Blood flowed. Real blood. She ran towards the injured man by instinct but was pulled back hard.
"What are you doing?" Lu Zihao scolded her and locked his arms around her to prevent her from running around. "Stay here!"
"B-blood! There’s blood! Stop! Please stop the fight!"
Lu Zihao waved a hand and the fight stopped in an instant. The five people lined up once again. The injured man acted as if he wasn’t bleeding.
"Someone treat his wound!" Long Jinjing looked around but nobody was moving. She turned to Lu Zihao and pleaded with him through her eyes.
"He’ll be fine. It’s just a superficial wound."
"But there’s so much blood!"
"Jinjing." He forced her to look at him instead of the injured man but not before sending a glare at his bleeding subordinate. Although he knew that Long Jinjing was just being kind like always, he still couldn’t stop himself from feeling jealous when she acted so concerned about another man.
She was still very distracted and kept on peeking at the bleeding man out of the corner of her eye, so he signalled with his finger. The female who did the somersault earlier threw another dagger. This time, it flew directly at Lu Zihao.
"Aaaaaaaaah!" Long Jinjing screamed. Her body reacted on its own. She tried to push Lu Zihao out of harm’s way but he remained on the spot like an immoveable mountain. fгeewebnovёl.com
Then he caught the dagger easily by its sharp blade using two fingers of one hand when it was only inches away from his face. Long Jinjing felt her knees buckle and her vision blur from lightheadedness. He caught her with his other arm and lifted her up to prevent her from falling to the floor.
He flipped the dagger and held it by the handle before throwing it again at another direction. There was a whistling sound and then a dull thump.
The dazed Long Jinjing didn’t see where Lu Zihao threw the dagger because it was so fast. All she could do was to follow everyone’s gaze instead. It took her a few seconds to finally figure out where it landed. She squinted her eyes and saw that the dagger was firmly stuck in the bullseye of a target on the far side of the training grounds. A gasp escaped her soft lips. She looked at Lu Zihao and saw that he was watching her.
"Y-you’re...amazing."
He didn’t reply. His unreadable expression didn’t change either.
"Uhm...can I sit down for a minute? I feel a little...f-faint...."
His expression changed, finally showing worry. He quickly scooped her up and carried her like a princess before speed-walking to the nearest wall where there were a few benches. He laid her down on one.
"How are you feeling?" he asked.
"I’m—"
"Don’t lie and tell me that you’re okay if you’re not."
She bit her lower lip before sighing. "Give me a minute or two. All this is just...a bit too much for me at the moment."
He caressed her cheek. "You haven’t seen anything yet, Jinjing."
She held his hand and continued to press it on her cheek. "Yes, I have that feeling."
While she was resting, Lu Zihao’s subordinates continued their respective trainings. The injured man cleaned and bandaged his own wound before sparring again with a comrade like nothing happened.
Long Jinjing watched everything. She still felt overwhelmed by the entire situation but the fear had now lessened. It was replaced by burning curiosity instead.
"Niko—Zihao," she whispered and sat up slowly.
