Chapter 138: Dirty Trick

Seeing her like this, Shang Qinghua no longer had the mood to pursue the matter.

He waved his hand and said, “Treat the wound on your head properly. Don’t let him see anything unusual. But Sui He, you know this prince has very little patience.”

“Yes, Your highness,” Sui He replied, feeling as if she had been pardoned.

She quickly stood up and retreated to the side, not daring to say another word.

Since Yue Mingxuan had still not returned at this time, Shang Qinghua also lost the desire to stay any longer.

So, he stood up and walked out from Yue Mingxuan’s courtyard.

Even the most obedient pet, if it is not disciplined with a small whip for a long time, will forget the owner’s authority.

As Shang Qinghua walked along the road, he thought coldly that it seemed he needed to find time to train his little kitten again.

Otherwise, sooner or later, he would be snatched away by someone else.

At this very moment, Yue Mingxuan was hugging a soft goose feather pillow and sleeping deeply.

He completely unaware that he had already been marked by someone as a target to be “trained.”

Although he fell asleep with a depressed mood, Yue Mingxuan still did not wake up until the sun was high in the sky.

Sewing patient’s wounds was not a major operation, but it consumed a lot of energy and focus.

He stretched lazily and walked to his personal resting room, only to find that Xi Yu was already there early in the morning, waiting for him.

The moment Yue Mingxuan saw Xi Yu, he thought of Shang Qinghua.

The displeasure in his heart showed clearly on his face without any attempt to hide it.

“What are you doing here?”

Xi Yu glanced at Yue Mingxuan and answered as if it were only natural, “Of course I came to see you.”

“What do you want with me?” Yue Mingxuan’s anger rose a little at Xi Yu’s casual tone.

Please, this man still owed him one hundred taels of gold.

He was clearly the creditor.

Shouldn’t Xi Yu behave the way Yue Mingxuan behaved when he saw Shang Qinghua?

Yet here he was, showing up early in Yue Mingxuan’s private resting room and speaking with such confidence without the slightest awareness of being in debt.

Xi Yu spoke as if he did not see Yue Mingxuan’s face, which was currently trying to holding back his anger.

“The wound on my back was stitched by you in such a strange way that no one else can deal with it. If I don’t come to you, who else should I come to?”

Yue Mingxuan had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen someone this shameless.

When Yue Mingxuan’s heard Xi Yu speak like this, he had already stabbed him a thousand times in his heart at lightning speed. “You seem to have forgotten that you still owe me one hundred taels of gold.”

“Didn’t you take my jade qilin?” Xi Yu said, fully aware that Yue Mingxuan did not dare to ask Shang Qinghua for money.

So, he deliberately put on a rogue-like expression and said, “You can go ask Prince Shang for the money at any time. He injured me, so if I ask his men to treated my wounds, I think that’s very fair and reasonable, right? As for the money matters between the two of you, that’s your business and has nothing to do with me.”

When he heard this, Yue Mingxuan widened his eyes in shock.

Xi Yu’s injury on his back was actually caused by Shang Qinghua?

Then this jade qilin… He shot Xi Yu an annoyed look.

“This jade qilin isn’t yours, is it?”

Xi Yu looked at Yue Mingxuan as if he were an idiot. “Of course it’s not mine. I would never use something with such poor taste.”

If it were not because this thing held great meaning to Shang Qinghua, he would not have taken it while fighting him in the first place.

Yue Mingxuan put his hand into the pouch he carried with him and pretended to search around.

In fact, he was taking out the jade qilin that he had stored inside his hidden jade bracelet.

When he found it, he held it up and said, “Then you want me to take this and go look for Shang Qinghua?”

Xi Yu glanced at the jade qilin in Yue Mingxuan’s hand, he then smiled faintly and said, “Returning something to its original owner will naturally come with some reward money.”

When Yue Mingxuan heard the words “return to the original owner,” his scalp immediately felt numb.

The last time he took a jade pendant from Shang Qinghua, it brought him a pile of trouble.

Taking Rong Qinglei’s jade pendant also had attracted an unwanted romantic entanglement.

Thinking of all this, the jade qilin in his hand suddenly felt like a red-hot branding iron.

He angrily tossed the jade qilin back to Xi Yu and said, “I didn’t expect that your martial arts are so poor… yet your dirty tricks are quite impressive. Why don’t you change careers and become a thief instead?”

Yue Mingxuan’s words made Xi Yu so angry that he almost choked.

As a top-tier assassin, his martial skills were something he was extremely proud of.

Yet again and again, they were questioned by a complete outsider and with such a tone of disdain.

He felt that Yue Mingxuan and Shang Qinghua must have been sent by the heavens on purpose just to torment him because his life had been too smooth.

Seeing Xi Yu’s face turn pale with anger, Yue Mingxuan finally felt some of the frustration in his heart ease a little.

However, as a doctor, he still followed his principles and decided to help Xi Yu treat his wound.

As a result, the entire medical clinic was filled with Xi Yu’s miserable screams, which scaring away several patients who had come to seek treatment.
