Chapter 146: Tensions and Hidden Motives

How could such a person still be worthy of his master?

Thinking this way, Yin Zi slowly helped Shang Qinghua onto the soft couch and said quietly, “Master, with your current condition, you really can’t delay things any longer…”

Shang Qinghua did not answer Yin Zi.

Although he had briefly lost consciousness earlier, he had clearly felt the inner energy entering his body.

He knew Gu Xiang was still in the room and he happened to have something for her to do.

“Gu Xiang,” Shang Qinghua said, “go to the city center and find a medical clinic. Xi Yu is there. Tell him this: if he doesn’t leave, he will die.”

Gu Xiang did not know why Shang Qinghua wanted this done, but she still answered obediently and turned to carry out his order.

Yin Zi who stood to the side was deeply shaken by what he heard, though he did not show it on his face.

Shang Qinghua and Xi Yu were both friends and rivals.

They came from the same sect and could be considered as senior and junior brothers.

Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, they had never gotten along since childhood.

Large and small fights between them had happened more than twenty times and it always stopping short of killing blows until this time, when both were seriously injured.

Now, Shang Qinghua was actually asking Gu Xiang to pass on such ruthless words, completely ignoring their shared sect ties.

Thinking about everything that had happened over the past two days, Yin Zi vaguely felt that it all had something to do with Yue Mingxuan who had just run out earlier.

Meanwhile, Xi Yu was sitting leisurely in the courtyard of the medical clinic while basking in the sunlight.

The past two days there had been extremely comfortable.

Although changing the medicine on his wounds three times a day was painful, he did not need to lift a finger for food or clothing.

It was simply too pleasant.

Xi Yu’s comfortable life was all thanks to Yue Mingxuan.

After Yue Mingxuan had accepted his case and then hurried back to the palace without explaining anything, Xiao Mei did not know what to do and naturally did not dare neglect him.

Just as Xi Yu was happily chewing on fruit that Woyu had washed for him, a figure suddenly landed in front of him lightly.

It was Gu Xiang.

Her graceful figure made Xi Yu unable to stop himself from calling out in praise.

Gu Xiang frowned and looked at the man in front of her.

His facial features were not outstanding, but together they were passable.

Seeing him casually propping his foot on a stone stool, she immediately felt displeased.

When she thought that this was the man who had injured her master, anger immediately surged in her chest.

Without hesitation, she struck out with a palm toward him.

Xi Yu did not expect the woman to attack him without warning.

His inner energy could not be raised in time and with injuries on his body, he could only roll awkwardly on the ground to barely dodge her attack.

“Beauty, let’s talk properly,” he said breathlessly. “Why do you have to use force?”

Hearing his flirtatious words only made Gu Xiang angrier.

She spun around and kicked him hard in the stomach.

Although her other martial skills were average, she had trained her lightness skill for over ten years.

Combined with Xi Yu’s injuries, the kick landed solidly and sent him tumbling to the ground in a miserable heap.

Anger was anger, but Gu Xiang knew very well what kind of relationship this man had with her master, so she still held back her strength.

Aside from falling rather awkwardly to the ground, Xi Yu did not suffer any other serious injury.

After venting the bad feeling in her heart, Gu Xiang turned around and left.

Xi Yu only heard her cold words drifting back to him, “My master asked me to pass on a message to you. If you don’t leave, you will die.”

Hearing such an overbearing and unreasonable tone, Xi Yu did not even need to think to know that it came from Shang Qinghua.

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

Things were becoming more and more interesting.

He had originally only wanted to test the relationship between the two of them, but he had not expected Shang Qinghua’s reaction to be so intense.

When he thought of their master’s twisted and furious face when angry, Xi Yu suddenly felt that he did not want to stay in the medical clinic even a moment longer.

When standing at the center of a storm, the best plan was always to retreat.

Of the thirty-six strategies, running was the best.

Hmm… that beauty from just now also seemed quite interesting.

Xi Yu touched the wound on his back and after he gathered his inner energy, he chased in the direction where Gu Xiang had disappeared.

…

Yue Mingxuan who had run out of Shang Qinghua’s residence felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body.

He forced himself to walk all the way to the imperial garden.

After finding a long bench, he finally sat down.

At that moment, the tears he had been holding back could no longer be contained and they fell down one after another.

“Damn that perverted men, that rotten men, that shameless men, that scoundrel…”

After cursing out every insult he could rememberl, Yue Mingxuan still did not feel satisfied.

He casually snapped off a branch, placed it on the ground, imagined it as Shang Qinghua’s face and stomped on it fiercely.

Just as Yue Mingxuan was venting his anger on the branch, a familiar voice rang out:

“Well, isn’t this the Flower God, Prince Yue? It’s still early in the morning and you already wandering around the imperial garden?”

Yue Mingxuan turned his head and saw Xie Lianhua supporting the Imperial Consort Gui as they walked toward him with a group of attendants.
