Upon hearing this, not only Qi Wei and Ning Feiwan, but even Wang Xian were left stunned by my argument.
"Good grief!" Wei Wuxian snapped back to reality and couldn't help but give me a light knock on the head. "What nonsense are you talking about! I was so worried about you, and here you are secretly plotting something ridiculous in your mind! Song Zichen entrusted me with the serious task of helping you see the world, broaden your horizons, and adapt to life here. If you end up becoming even more withdrawn, how am I supposed to explain that to him?"
"Ouch!" I winced, covering my head where he had knocked me. "Why does everyone love hitting my head so much... I'm already dumb enough; please don't hit me again..."
"Hmph, this is to see if I can knock some sense into you and open your mind!" Wei Wuxian replied grumpily.
"Um... I promise I'll come up with a solid explanation beforehand; there won't be any problems..." I murmured softly.
"There won't be any problems? That's a huge problem! Not to mention that you've been here at Yun Shen Bu Zhi Chu for less than two months and already got yourself into trouble, and it was caused by your own people! I don't even know how to apologize for that!"
"It's just a small injury; I'll be fine after a good night's sleep..." I couldn't help but mumble.
"No, that's not how it works. Ms. Wei, you're underestimating this injury." The doctor, who had been quietly listening, suddenly spoke up seriously. "This time you were lucky not to have injured any vital tendons. If that sword had been just a little off, your arm could have been rendered useless."
"It won't happen; I had already calculated the angle..."
"Wait—" Suddenly, a gentle hand rested on my uninjured right shoulder. "What did I just hear? Little Flower, are you saying this wasn't an accident? You actually intended to confront the attack?" Wei Wuxian chuckled softly.
"Uh..." Oh no, I slipped up! "No, you heard wrong; I didn't say anything." I turned my head and forced a laugh.
"No, I heard it too!" Ning Feiwan stared at me in disbelief. "Ms. Wei, so you didn't dodge Lan Juan's sword but intentionally took it?"
"No, of course not! It's just that knowing I couldn't dodge it, I had to adjust my angle properly to avoid the vital points." I defended myself with a serious expression.
"Little Flower," Wei Wuxian's gentle call carried an undeniable warning tone. "I can't shake the feeling that there's more to this story. Do you think it's necessary to explain it clearly to us?"
...I really dislike perceptive little brats like you!
"Um, well..." My eyes darted around as I hesitated for quite some time. "Actually, there's nothing hidden; it was purely an accident... After all, at that moment, Lan Juan bet that I would definitely dodge, while I bet she wouldn't dare to strike truly. In the end, both of us lost our bets, resulting in this mutually damaging outcome."
"Um? Is that so?" The hand resting on my right shoulder exerted a slight pressure. "By the way, I just remembered something—I recall you have a powerful protective technique. With Lan Juan's cultivation level, it should be more than enough to block her. Why didn't you use it?"
Ah, right, Wei Wuxian has seen me use the Light Shield before... Tsk, what a miscalculation!
"Uh... I forgot in the heat of the moment?" I forced a dry smile at him.
"Mm?" Wei Wuxian returned my smile brightly, his hand on my shoulder warningly tightening again.
"…Sigh, fine. The truth is, I just wanted to scare Lan Juan. After all, she has always looked down on me and has been finding fault with me for no reason. It’s quite annoying. So why not take this opportunity to let her have her way?" I couldn't help but mumble, "Who knew she was just a paper tiger? She got scared off by such a minor injury..."
Wei Wuxian was momentarily speechless and patted my shoulder with a hint of helplessness.
"You really ought to be given a good spanking to understand the seriousness of this situation!"
"Ms.Wei, one's body and skin are gifts from their parents and should not be harmed. No matter what, you shouldn't resort to self-harm as a means," Lan Wangji admonished earnestly.
"However, since this was under the guise of sparring, one must exercise caution in their strikes. No matter how you look at it, this is indeed Lan Juan's fault." The physician sighed. "But Ms.Wei, I must reiterate: this is definitely not a minor injury! If you were to lose an arm just to prove a point, would it be worth it?"
"Uh, well... there's no need to worry. My self-healing ability is quite strong; injuries like this will be fine after just one good night's sleep. It won't be a problem," I said nonchalantly. "I’m not really reckless; it's precisely because I'm confident there won't be any issues that I dare to act so carelessly."
After all, it’s because I rely on my invincible Healing Spell that I can freely employ this bait-and-switch tactic!
"A good night's sleep will fix it? Ms.Wei, you really love to joke. No matter how strong one's self-healing ability is, it still takes time. Moreover, with your injury, even using the top-grade elixirs from the Gusu Lan’s secret stash would take at least three days for the wounds to heal!" The physician completely dismissed my claims.
However, regarding my seemingly whimsical remarks, Wei Wuxian stared at me thoughtfully.
"So, little flower, how long do you usually sleep to recover from an injury?" he suddenly asked.
"Huh?" I was taken aback for a moment before finally grasping the implication behind his words. "Oh, don’t worry! It really is just an ordinary sleep; I'll be fine by tomorrow."
If it weren't for my desire to keep the existence of the Healing Spell a secret, I wouldn't even need to sleep; I would have already recovered completely and wouldn't have to endure this suffering.
"Oh? Is that so?" Wei Wuxian and Xu Ran exchanged amused glances. "In that case, let's check your injuries tomorrow and see how well you've healed. If you truly recover as you claim, we might just let you off the hook this time."
Hearing this, my eyes brightened. "Really?"
"But if that's not the case..." Wei Wuxian crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes threateningly. "Whether you're injured or not, you should prepare for a spanking!"
"Don't worry, I'm telling the truth!" I quickly assured him, thumping my chest.

"Mian Fei, so you came down from Wailing Hill?" Qi Wei asked curiously as he escorted me back to my room from the Medicine Room. "Why... were you staying in such a place?"
"Hmm? Didn't I mention it?" I tried to recall what I had said before.
"No, you only mentioned that you were from Yiling," Ning Feiwan interjected. "So you've actually spent time at Wailing Hill; no wonder you're skilled in exorcism... By the way, Ms. Wei, you've actually kept many things hidden, haven't you?"
"Heh, just mentioning that I'm from Yiling has led to such rejection. If I had admitted I was from Wailing Hill from the start, I would have probably been treated like a monster," I couldn't help but say with self-deprecation.
Ning Feiwan hesitated for a long moment before finally falling silent.
