“Alright, if you don’t want to eat, I’ll eat.” After saying that, Xiao Yan ate the rest of the nut himself. The fingertip that had touched Su Qian’s lips swept across his own lips on purpose. Then, he licked his finger and looked at Su Qian with a smile.
Almost visible were the ambiguous pink bubbles floating in the air, leaving Su Wian in disarray!
She thought, “This man! How could he be so shameless?!”
Su Qian, whether infuriated or embarrassed, had a layer of blush on her snowy-white face. When she saw Xiao Yan, her gaze darkened.
Su Qian wasn’t the only one who was deeply shocked by her expression.
Very quickly, they clearly sensed the gazes that were being shot over from all directions. Xiao Yan’s cold eyes swept over them. His astonished gaze seemed to have a sharp edge pressed against their throats, making those people lower their heads in fear. They were so afraid that they didn’t even dare to let out a fart.
However, although everyone retracted their gazes, it didn’t stop them from exchanging glances.
It seemed like the rumors were true. Su Qian was a vixen. She had two children before and didn’t know who the father was. When she returned to the imperial capital, she made the Ninth Prince fall in love with her. Now, she was even flirting with a hidden guard in front of them…
People exchanged smiles as everything was understood without words.
In the meantime, just before the sand in the hourglass was completely drained, Tu San finally rushed over with Yun Xiao on his back.
“Get out of the way! Get out of the way!” ran at breakneck speed, carrying Yun Xiao on his back. By the time he arrived at the courtyard, he was panting heavily like an exhausted bull. With Yun Xiao on his back, he barged into the courtyard and rushed in front of Su Qian and the others.
Huffing and panting heavily, Tu San seemed to be so tired that he was half-dead. His knees went soft and he knelt on the ground. His face was red and he kept rolling his eyes. “Good, good, good that I made it in time…”
Behind Tu San, Yun Xiao was equally tormented.
He was currently suffering from severe poisoning and his body was not as resilient as before. Wearing only an inner shirt and draped in a cloak, his appearance was disheveled. His hair was messy and his face was dirty. His face was pale with a distinctive bluish-purple tint, typical of someone poisoned. Blisters and sores covered his face and neck, emitting an indescribable odor.
The rough journey nearly cost Yun Xiao half of his life.
“Congratulations, First Elder. You just happened to arrive here in fifteen minutes.” Su Qian looked at the fine sand that had slipped away in the hourglass and said with an infuriating tone that could drive people to their graves.
Yun Xiao was so angry that smoke seemed to rise from his head. He gritted his teeth and resisted the urge to kill Su Qian.
Once the poison in his body was neutralized, he vowed to make this damn girl suffer!
“As agreed, I’ve come. Please, Elder Su, give me the antidote.” Enduring the humiliation, Yun Xiao lowered his head and cupped his hands, hiding the murderous intent that flashed in his eyes.
Su Qian looked at Yun Xiao in confusion. “First Elder, I don’t recall saying that I would give you the antidote if you came, right?”
Yun Xiao was stunned when he heard that. His expression turned ferocious. “What do you mean? Are you kidding me?”
“I asked the First Elder here just to see his sincerity. Now that sincerity is apparent, let’s talk about the consultation fee.” Su Qian sat in her seat and asked Yun Xiao with a gentle smile.
However, Su Qian’s seemingly harmless demeanor almost made Yun Xiao faint.. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, “What do you mean? Didn’t you provide medical treatment for the kitchen staff for free? Why are you charging
me?”
