Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Mu Xue had no idea what Ye Shangyuan was thinking, otherwise she would have said: This gentleman, is he a weird uncle?

After a satisfying meal, the group didn't say much more and went to rest early.

After Leng Quan waited until Ye Shangyuan closed his eyes to rest, he quietly gave Ye San a wink, and the two grown men went to whisper to each other again.

Hearing the noise, Mu Xue cautiously opened her eyes a crack. She peeked out and then felt a chill run down her spine. She shivered and quickly shrank back into her sleeping bag.

Men who love to gossip are terrifying!

Lengquan pulled Ye San to the edge of the woods and they stood there.

Ye San said speechlessly, "Quan, the master is resting. Can't we go back to the manor and talk?"

“No.” Leng Quan said solemnly, “San, let me tell you, you can’t afford to offend Miss Xue. Do you know her status?”

Ye San looked at him, puzzled, and asked, "What is Miss Mu's status? Isn't she just the eldest daughter of General Mu, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion? What else?"

He always felt that the so-called legitimate daughters of so-and-so families, or daughters of so-and-so families, were honors bestowed upon them by their own fathers and were not considered remarkable statuses.

Her master treated her differently; she should be considered one of the prince's women, given that identity.

Leng Quan could tell from his expression and tone that he had misunderstood.

He said with exasperation, "Have you lost your mind from dealing with all sorts of high-ranking officials and dignitaries every day?"

These words displeased Ye San, and his tone became impatient. He retorted, "Brother Leng, what exactly are you trying to say? Does the Prince have feelings for Miss Mu? Does he want to marry her? Does he want her to be our Princess Consort?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Quan was also displeased. He snorted and said, "Third Brother, Miss Xue can win the Prince's heart not only because the Prince is fond of her. Do you know that we were besieged three times in the inner perimeter?"

Ye San looked at Leng Quan in surprise and replied, "I know, didn't you already tell me?"

Reizen continued coldly, "Do you know that without Miss Yuki, what you would be receiving today would be my and Yoruichi's corpses, and perhaps even..."

He didn't say it all, but Ye San understood.

Leng gave him time to think, then continued, "Miss Xue first encountered me when I was seriously injured and saved me. Then we encountered the prince being surrounded. Ye Yi was seriously injured and unconscious, and just then the prince's poison took effect. If Miss Xue hadn't decisively saved us, can you imagine the consequences?"

Ye San looked at Leng Quan with suspicion. He believed what he said, but no matter how he looked at Mu Xue's small body, it was impossible for her to save them.

Leng Quan knew that Ye San had been collecting intelligence and distinguishing truth from falsehood for many years, and that he was more temperamental than others. He softened his tone and said, "Xiao San, Miss Xue is the savior of the Prince and us, but look, has he shown any willingness to repay us? In her opinion, saving us is something she can do, and she doesn't care about it at all."

Mu Xue: No, I didn't! I want you to repay my kindness!!!

Ye San asked, "She made the move? Is she very powerful?"

Leng Quan choked, realizing that it wasn't the assassins she had personally killed during the encirclement and suppression.

"Miss Xue has another crucial identity: she is an ancient physician. Listen carefully, an ancient physician who can refine fifth-grade pills!" Leng Quan changed the subject.

"What... ooh, ooh, ooh." Ye San had only managed to utter one word when Leng Quan swiftly covered her mouth.

Yoru San was utterly shocked!

How old is Mu Xue?

A thirteen-year-old ancient doctor!

An ancient physician who could refine fifth-grade pills at the age of thirteen!

Leng Quan tightly covered his mouth and said, "What are you shouting for? If you wake me up, I'll give you a good scolding. If you make Miss Xue unhappy, I can make you start all over again!"

Leng Quan repeatedly assured him, "I'm letting go, but please don't scream!"

Yoru nods, "Ooh, ooh," to indicate that she understands.

As soon as she was released, Ye San eagerly grabbed Leng Quan and asked, "Miss Mu, are you really an ancient doctor? What about the master's poison?"

Leng Quan patted his shoulder. His eyes were already a little red. He said, "Miss Mu said that as long as the necessary herbs are found, she can concoct the antidote. Ye San, the master's poison can be cured."

Ye San clenched his hands tightly with excitement, saying that men don't easily shed tears.

They had all followed Ye Shangyuan through thick and thin since they were young.

Every time they saw the prince suffer from the poison, his whole body drenched in cold sweat from the pain, but they couldn't help him at all. Now, finally, someone told them that the poison could be cured.

Even Lin Jiu, the successor of the Immortal Doctor Valley, could only suppress it.

At this moment, Ye San truly acknowledged Mu Xue.

He suddenly realized that only Mu Xue was qualified to stand beside the prince.

Ye San asked Leng Quan, "What kind of medicine do you need? I'll send someone to find it right away!"

Leng Quan said, "Miss Xue has suppressed the poisoning this time, and the prince will be fine for three months."

Ye San's eyes widened again. He exclaimed in surprise, "Three months without the poison taking effect???"

If he remembered correctly, the prince's poison was now flaring up less than once a month.

Mu Xue's medical skills are beyond good.

He suddenly felt that his prince might not be a good match for Miss Mu.

He thought this, and he said it aloud.

Upon hearing what he said, Leng Quan nodded in agreement: "Actually, I also think that our prince is a bit unworthy! Think about it, an ancient doctor who can refine fifth-grade pills at the age of thirteen, even in the heyday of ancient medicine, would be a genius."

Yoru San nodded in agreement.

“However,” Leng Quan changed the subject, “Although our prince is a bit old, has a bad temper, and is in poor health, he is still very handsome!”

Ye Shangyuan, who was not asleep in the distance and was listening to the two whispering with his eyes closed, silently loosened his clenched fist and said, "Thank you so much!"

Ye San chimed in, "That's right, Miss Mu must not have seen our Prince's true face yet. He'll definitely seduce her when he does."

“Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness has both wealth and power. Once the poison is cured, he can even protect Miss Xue. Such a perfect man is the best in the four kingdoms,” Leng Quan quickly added.

"Yes, yes, what an amazing man! Come on, Brother Leng, let's go back to sleep. Now we can finally get a good night's rest." Ye San put his arm around Leng Quan's shoulder and started walking back.

He asked in a barely audible whisper, "Brother, Master shouldn't be able to punish me like this, right?"

"Don't try to guess what your master is thinking. You'll never figure it out no matter how hard you try," Leng Quan said in the same tone.

When Leng Quan and Ye San said that Ye Shangyuan was not a good match for Mu Xue, they clearly felt a murderous intent.

They were all too familiar with that murderous intent!

Suddenly, as if by telepathy, the two began to say kind words to each other.

What a joke! A single man in his late twenties with a bad temper—can you afford to mess with him?

Of course not!
