Chapter 141: Rushing to See Him

The instinct of a killer allowed Xi Yu to see through Yue Mingxuan’s forced calm at once.

Thinking about how this man had just belittled him until he was worth nothing, a trace of pleasure flashed through Xi Yu’s heart.

“Being stubborn with words is useless,” Xi Yu said slowly. “You might as well hurry and go see him one last time. If you’re lucky, you might even leave him a bit of bloodline.”

Hearing Xi Yu speak so crudely, Yue Mingxuan felt disgust rise in his heart. He turned away and said coldly, “I already told you, I have nothing to do with him. Believe it or not, that’s up to you. As for you, once your injury heals, leave as soon as possible. Just looking at you makes me feel sick.”

This man really was stubborn to the core.

Xi Yu secretly gathered a strand of inner energy at his fingertips.

With a light flick of his hand, he shattered half of Yue Mingxuan’s sleeve.

“Your virgin mark is already gone, yet you’re still acting stubborn.”

The last word got stuck in his throat.

On Yue Mingxuan’s arm that was smooth and pale like fine jade, there was clearly a red mark shaped like layered peach blossoms.

It was unmistakably a virgin mark.

Xi Yu’s face instantly turned red like a ripe tomato, as if all the blood in his body had rushed to his face.

Even his speech became stuttering.

“S-sorry, sir… th-this… this seems to be a misunderstanding.”

If there had been a hole in the ground at that moment, Xi Yu would have jumped into it without hesitation.

He had thought Yue Mingxuan was Shang Qinghua’s man and had already experienced intimacy, which was why his words were so bold and unrestrained.

Who could have imagined such a huge misunderstanding?

Yue Mingxuan did not explode in anger like Xi Yu had expected.

In his previous life, he wore short sleeves and shorts in summer all the time.

A bare arm meant nothing to him.

What truly shocked him was the martial skill Xi Yu had just shown.

It seemed Xi Yu had not been lying after all.

Could it be that Shang Qinghua was really in grave danger?

At that thought, Yue Mingxuan’s eyes were instantly covered with a layer of mist.

The person who always bullied him was about to die.

Shouldn’t he be happy?

The sudden wetness in his eyes and the emotions he did not expect left Yue Mingxuan at a loss.

He forcefully wiped his eyes, pushing the tears back, and said to Xi Yu, “Is this what you learned martial arts for? To bully people like me who don’t know any martial arts?”

Seeing that Yue Mingxuan looked like he was about to cry, Xi Yu felt deep regret in his heart.

He had not meant to humiliate him.

He had simply trusted his own judgment too much.

He never wanted things to turn out like this, but he did not know how to make up for it.

Xi Yu opened his mouth with difficulty, wanting to apologize, but he did not know where to begin.

In the end, he could only remain silent in guilt.

At this moment, he almost hoped Yue Mingxuan would hit him or scold him a few times.

That would be far better than this silence.

In the end, it was Yue Mingxuan who broke the silence.

“I won’t argue with you about what happened just now. As a doctor, I’ll treat it as being harassed by a troublesome patient. From now on, I will have Xiao Mei help clean your wound. Once your injury heals, leave immediately. I don’t want to see you again in the future.”

After saying that, Yue Mingxuan turned around and walked toward his resting room.

It was not that he did not feel wronged, nor that he was not angry.

However, right now, his worry for Shang Qinghua overwhelmed all other emotions.

He would save him.

He definitely would.

After returning to his resting room, Yue Mingxuan casually grabbed an outer robe and put it on.

He did not even have time to inform Xiao Mei before he quickly heading toward the palace.

When he had been trapped in the mountain cave, Shang Qinghua had come to rescue him through heavy rain.

Now, he could not just stand by and watch something happen to him.

Repaying kindness with greater kindness had always been Yue Mingxuan’s unchanging principle.

Running all the way to Shang Qinghua’s residence, Yue Mingxuan bent over and supported himself against the wall, breathing heavily.

This body was far too weak.

Back when he was in the military, he could run five kilometers without even needing to catch his breath.

At this moment, the door was pushed open and Mo Yi walked out.

When he saw Yue Mingxuan leaning against the wall, he cried out in surprise, “Prince Yue!”

Because of the cold poison incident last time, Mo Yi had always carried a sense of guilt toward Yue Mingxuan.

In addition, Shang Qinghua’s later attitude toward Yue Mingxuan had been very special, even to the point of mobilizing secret guards.

Therefore, although Mo Yi was surprised to see him now, his attitude was also mixed with respect.

“Cough, cough… General Mo…” Yue Mingxuan struggled for quite a while before he could finally catch his breath. “How… how is your master?”

When Yue Mingxuan mentioned Shang Qinghua, a trace of sadness flashed across Mo Yi’s face and Yue Mingxuan immediately noticed it. “How is he now? Is his condition very bad?”

Seeing the anxious look in Yue Mingxuan’s eyes, Mo Yi told him everything he knew in detail. “Three out of the four major acupoints of His Highness were pierced by sword energy. Although the attacker held back, the sword energy entered the acupoints and triggered the remaining cold poison in His Highness’s body.”

The reason Mo Yi explained Shang Qinghua’s condition so thoroughly was not only because he trusted Yue Mingxuan, but also because he hoped that Yue Mingxuan, with his exceptional medical skills, could help Shang Qinghua.
