Chapter 938: Wuhu Shows Its Might
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The white-robed man returned to his temporary residence.
Just as he was about to enter, he sensed an unfamiliar and familiar aura.
He retracted his hand from pushing the door open and turned around calmly to look at the assassin who had been waiting under the big tree for a long time.
“Why are you here?”
The assassin said, “Sir asked me to come.”
The man in white said expressionlessly, “I have nothing to say to him.”
“It’s Sir who has something to say to you.” The assassin looked him up and down. “You’re badly hurt.”
The man in white said coldly, “It’s none of your business. Hurry up and leave.”
The assassin said, “Sir asked me to thank you.”
The man in white pondered for a moment and said calmly, “He saved my brother. I just don’t like owing people favors. The next time I see him, I’ll still kill him!”
The assassin said, “Sir said it’s up to you. Next is my personal reminder. Sir is already gathering the Black Armored Guards. You can’t deal with so many Black Armored Guards alone. I advise you to cherish your life.”
The man in white snorted. “We’ll see if he can bring the army into the southern border!”
With that, the man in white pushed open the distant door and left without looking back.
Princess Hui An was bored in the room.
“Where did Su Xuan go? Didn’t he go to buy rice cakes? He’s taking so long…”
She was unfamiliar with the southern border and did not dare to go out easily. She could only sigh and wait.
Suddenly, she heard the courtyard door open.
She smiled in surprise. “You’re finally back!”
She opened the door excitedly, but the moment she walked out, she switched to the arrogance of a princess.
She stood on her side in the corridor and looked at the half-moon in the sky. She asked in a tone, “Why did you take so long? If you really can’t buy it, you can choose not to buy it. It’s not like I have to eat it. You’re not allowed to do it so late next time.”
Su Xuan didn’t respond.
“I’m talking to you. You…”
Princess Hui An turned around and choked.
Su Xuan held the door without saying a word. His body convulsed slightly as if he was enduring immense pain.
Princess Hui An hurriedly walked over and asked, “Su Xuan, what’s wrong?”
Su Xuan’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his lips were pale. He said weakly, “I’m fine…”
He took out a small paper bag from his pocket and handed it to her. “Your rice cakes.”
Princess Hui An wanted to say that she didn’t really want to eat rice cakes.
She had just taken the bag of rice cakes when Su Xuan fell to the ground weakly.
Princess Hui An’s face turned pale. “Su Xuan, what’s wrong? Su Xuan, Su Xuan,
Su Xuan!”
Princess Hui An placed the rice cakes on the stone table and bent down to drag him.
She had used all her strength, but it was still extremely difficult.
“He looks thin, but why is he so heavy…”
Princess Hui An spent a Herculean effort to drag Su Xuan back to his room.
But how could she get him onto the bed?
Also, his clothes were dirty from dragging on the ground. She had to take them off.
Elder Lou lived here alone and did not hire any servants. There were only two maidservants who came to clean every day. They cooked a few meals for them during the day and went back at night.
Princess Hui An had never served anyone in her life. She had knocked her head and scraped her knees. At least she had gotten Su Xuan into bed.
She was a princess, so there was no need for her to be too concerned about ruining her reputation. However, someone had always helped her take off her clothes and shoes.
“Forget it. On account that you’re my follower, I’ll reluctantly serve you this time!”
Princess Hui An had never taken off the man’s clothes. She took a long time to do so.
After a while, she simply took a pair of scissors and cut his outer robe. When she saw the cloth covered in blood on her back, she was dumbfounded. “You’re injured?”
Princess Hui An covered him with a blanket and went out to look for a physician.
However, Elder Lou lived in a remote area and did not even find a medical center nearby.
“Little sidekick… look for my little sidekick!”
“But where’s my sidekick?”
“Where’s the Cheng family?”
Just as Princess Hui An was at a loss, a carriage stopped in front of her.
The coachman asked, “Miss, look at how anxious you are. Are you going somewhere? It’s not easy to find a carriage at this hour. I’ll be hired cheaply for two taels of silver!”
“Do you know the Cheng family?” Princess Hui An asked.
“Which Cheng family?” the coachman asked.
Princess Hui An said, “It’s the largest Cheng family that has a Saintess.”
The coachman hurriedly said, “I know. That place is a little far. You have to increase the fee! Three taels!”
“Sure!”
Anyway, when they arrived at the Cheng family, they would give him any amount of money!
Princess Hui An got into the carriage.
Elder Lou’s residence was not too far from the Cheng family. It was at least not worth three taels of silver.
When the coachman heard that she did not have a capital accent, he specially made a detour. When he arrived at the Cheng family, it was already very late.
Princess Hui An alighted from the carriage.
The coachman stopped her. “Hey, give me the fare!”
Princess Hui An said seriously, “I don’t have any silver with me. Wait for me to find her. She will give you money.”
The coachman panicked. “Why did you hire my carriage if you don’t have money?”
Princess Hui An said, “The young master of the Cheng family is my sidekick!
Wait for me to call her out!”
The coachman sized her up from head to toe, clearly not believing her.
She could not blame the coachman for being blind. After being tormented by Su Xuan for a while, her hair was messy, her clothes were torn, and her face was dirty. No matter how one looked at it, she did not look like she knew the Cheng family well.
Princess Hui An displayed her dignity as a princess. “If you don’t believe me, come with me to Imock on the door!”
The coachman was intimidated by her aura and went with her.
“Knock,” Princess Hui An said to the coachman.
“Why do you want me to knock… Sure.” For the fare, the coachman endured it and pulled the knocker to knock on the door.
After a long time, a servant yawned. “Why are you knocking in the middle of the night?”
Princess Hui An raised her chin and said, “Ask your young master to come out.
Tell her that someone is looking for her. My surname is Xiao.”
The servant looked at her suspiciously and closed the door with a bang! This servant was Steward Pang’s trusted aide. How could he run errands for the eldest branch?
Princess Hui An was furious. She knocked on the door and said, “Hey! Open the door! I… I asked you to open the door!”
The coachman chuckled. “Miss, I sent you there. You can’t renege on the fare. If you really don’t have money…”
His malicious gaze landed on Princess Hui An’s exquisite body.
“You can use your body to pay for it.”
He reached out to touch Princess Hui An. Princess Hui An slapped him. “How dare you!”
“Stupid woman, how dare you hit me?”
The coachman widened his eyes fiercely and grabbed Princess Hui An’s wrist, dragging her into the carriage.
At this moment, a blue parrot swooped down from the sky on its golden eagle carriage.
The golden eagle was unbelievably fast.
Before the coachman could react, he was sent flying by the golden eagle’s wing!
The coachman was stunned!
Where did this bird come from?!
