Li Lei felt that he was very unlucky.

Xia Moyan looked at his expression and thought, Of course, it’s not going to be painless.

Sure enough, when Xia Moyan grabbed his hand, the angle at which he cut his hand was different. With one slice, the blood was drained from Li Lei’s face. He couldn’t help but take a deep breath and break out in cold sweat.

This…

This was his future brother-in-law’s workmanship, it was truly awe-inspiring. When he did not want to hurt others, it was so painless that women and children like Xiao Ling and Shaohui didn’t feel a thing. However, when he wanted to hurt others, he was really ruthless. Li Lei had been on the battlefield for many years and experienced many life or death situations, but with one cut by Xia Moyan… Oh my god, it hurt more than being injured on the battlefield that year!

It was so painful that he almost fainted.

His body trembled, and he felt that he was sweating all over. There were bursts of warmth and coldness on his body, and the intense feeling of pain almost made him faint. He heard his grandfather say that there were many acupuncture points in a person, and some acupuncture points were so painful that people wished for death instead. Could it be that his future brother-in-law wickedly picked that acupuncture point?

Xia Moyan clearly looked at him. “Does it hurt?”

With some difficulty, Li Lei looked up with a blurry vision. When he saw his future brother-in-law’s indifferent expression, he was furious. Damn him! He cut him so painfully and acted as if he did not do anything wrong? Why was he such a jerk?! Schemer! Wolf in sheep’s clothing!

He used all the curse words he knew to scold The Preceptor who was high up in the air in his heart.

On the surface, he acted calmly. “Pain? How is that possible.” Even his voice was low and lazy, and he sounded more relaxed than Xia Moyan.

Xia Moyan couldn’t help but have some respect for him.

He picked the most deadly acupuncture point. That year when he was learning from his father, he was poked by this acupuncture point for the first time and it was so painful that he cried… At that time, he was only poked, but now, Li Lei’s skin was cut by a knife. He could only imagine how painful it was.

Finally, this man had some redeeming points.

Looking at Li Lei who was resisting the pain, Xia Moyan’s eyes softened.

Xia Ling also felt that something was wrong with Li Lei and asked in concern, “Are you ok?”

The most intense wave of pain at the start was already over. Li Lei took deep breaths secretly and smiled warmly at her. “It’s ok. I just wasn’t prepared just now, so I had a shock.” Seeing that she was still a little worried, he added. “Don’t you trust your own brother’s skills? It doesn’t hurt at all.”

Half doubtfully, Xia Ling finally nodded.

Only then did Li Lei discreetly sigh in relief. Compared to his pain, he was more worried about Xiao Ling worrying about him. After pacifying Xiao Ling, he looked at his future brother-in-law and smiled more radiantly.

Xia Moyan was speechless.

He tolerated it since he saw how much this young brat cared about his sister. After that, the arrogant and reserved Preceptor made a decision to stop torturing him.

Looking curiously at the blood in the bowl, Shaohui asked, “Uncle, what’s this for?”

Without rush, Xia Moyan took out a quaint box and opened it. Cold air rushed out as the box was filled with ice and a translucent thread. Xia Moyan took out the long silk thread and dipped it in the mixture of blood.
