Chapter 105: Treating an Illness: Why the Gong Clan Was Helping
Su Yufeng realized that things had gone awry. She feared that Gong Xifan would persuade Ye Yuxuan, so she clutched her belly and cried, “Old Master, my stomach hurts.”
Ye Yuxuan collected his wits and promptly took her in his arms. Then, he bade farewell to Gong Xifan and Dongfang Que in a hurry.
“My wife is not feeling well. I shall not accompany you two. Please, make yourselves at home.” Having spoken, he supported Su Yufeng with his hands and walked away briskly. He looked like a defeated man fleeing.
It made Ye Jiuge incredibly cheerful to see Ye Yuxuan and Su Yufeng embarrassed. She approached Gong Xifan and Dongfang Que and bowed solemnly.
“Great Master Gong, Your Highness, thank you for the favor today. I will engrave it in my memory.”
Had they not stopped the Su Clan’s Old Master in time, she would have killed him in anger, and the Lightning Fire Needle would have been exposed to the public.
“Eldest Miss Ye, you need not be so courteous.” Gong Xifan held her up politely before he laughed and said straightforwardly, “In the olden days, I had the honor of receiving a pill produced by Great Master Yun. You can consider what I did today returning the favor.”
Ye Jiuge knew that Gong Xifan was being polite, but she still felt incredibly grateful to him.
“Eldest Miss Ye, Old Man Su is narrow-minded; he will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. I fear that he will not let you off. If you ever require the Gong Clan’s assistance, use this token to find us.”
