Chapter 55: Not Sold for a Million Dollars

Huo Qingxiang was so angry at the two people in front of her. She just wanted to fill a pot of water for the prince, but why did they threaten her life?

If it weren't for these two people guarding her, she really wanted to rush over, grab the water bag on the ground, and fill a pot with water for the prince.

She added the honey that she had always treasured and was reluctant to drink, so that after the prince drank her water, he would never forget her.

Thinking of this, Huo Qingxiang suddenly stood up, crossed Ye Yier's defense line, and ran towards Ye Tingxiao.

While running, he shouted: "Prince! Let me get you some water."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tingxiao picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it at Huo Qingxiang. In an instant, he was fixed in place.

Du Wanwan looked at it, and a fleeting trace of shock flashed in her eyes.

This guy is too powerful, he can seal people's acupuncture points with stones from such a distance. At this moment, Huo Qingxiang seemed to be cast into a state of immobilization by a fairy, and she was still running.

Huo Si'en, who was lost in thought, looked up and saw that his granddaughter had gotten into trouble. He quickly stood up and saluted Ye Tingxiao.

"I'm sorry, sir! It's my fault that I didn't discipline my granddaughter enough and let her offend you. I'll take her back immediately and she won't make trouble again."

Ye Tingxiao turned his head to look at Huo Sien, his eyes cold and he said indifferently: "The Huo clan leader's family education is indeed not very good. Considering your meritorious service in killing the child, I will not care about it for now and take the person back!"

Du Wanwan glanced at Huo Qingxiang, who looked like a human sculpture, with a smirk in her eyes. The little girl suffered for her eagerness for quick success and she wondered if she could remember the lesson.

She glanced at Ye Tingxiao nonchalantly and said, "Let her go! How do you expect him to take her back with this look?"

This kind of style? Ye Tingxiao subconsciously looked at Huo Qingxiang, who was about to step out with one foot raised and the other standing on the ground, and felt that it was quite indecent.

He picked up a leaf and threw it over, unblocking the acupoints on Huo Qingxiang's body.

Huo Si'en didn't dare to argue. He clasped his fists and bowed to Ye Tingxiao, then quickly left with his granddaughter who was in a daze and had no idea what was going on.

The martial arts of the son of Pingyang Marquis are so strange that he can even press people's acupoints from a long distance.

Such a person is definitely not someone that small people like them can afford to offend. His granddaughter is stupid and he cannot follow her in doing anything stupid. When she arrives in Liang County in the future, she will be in trouble.

Pingyang Hou was the supreme ruler of Liang County. His granddaughter had offended Pingyang Hou's eldest son. It would be strange if the people of Huojia Village did not feel guilty about it.

As soon as they left, Du Wanwan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Ye Tingxiao! I didn't expect you to be so mean. You gave Huo Qingxiang such a look. I'm afraid I'll have a psychological trauma when I see you in the future."

"That style? What style?" Ye Tingxiao looked at the smile in Du Wanwan's bright eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, "That girl is too noisy and overconfident. She is really annoying."

Du Wanwan didn't respond for the time being. Huo Qingxiang was overdoing it, but Ye Tingxiao turned the person into a "running human sculpture", which was too much.

She had always disliked herself, boasting that she was the daughter of a scholar, well-educated, and superior to others.

Knowing that the son of Marquis Pingyang was coming, he wanted to show off, but he ended up making a fool of himself and was teased by Ye Tingxiao. He must have been very angry.

"Miss Du, do you think I'm too unkind?" Ye Tingxiao asked cautiously and subconsciously.

I don't know why, but he cares a lot about what she thinks of him. He won't do anything she doesn't like.

Even though the girl was so noisy that it disturbed everyone's peace, he would not touch her.

"No, no." Du Wanwan waved her hand, put away the smile on her face, and took the water bag that Ye Tingxiao placed in front of her. "Since you helped me deal with the hot potato banknotes, I will give you another pot of water. Let's make it clear, this is the last time."

You agreed so easily? Why don't you wait a little longer? He doesn't want to leave yet.

Seeing her reaching out to take the water bag and walking towards the wheelbarrow, Ye Tingxiao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Did the Du family drink that water all the time? If so, how would the Gu family's bodies be nourished? Others didn't know the effects of that water, but he and Ye Ye Er had experienced it personally.

Du Wanwan did not hide it from him and directly filled a pot of water for Ye Tingxiao from the water tank in the car, which was what she had asked Yaya to get just now.

There was not much water left in the water tank, so she asked Yaya to fill half the tank with a higher proportion of spiritual spring water.

My parents and younger brothers at home have been drinking this kind of water during this period, so they don’t feel tired after a day of traveling.

Ye Yi and Ye Er also noticed Du Wanwan's actions. They walked to Ye Tingxiao and squatted down.

Ye Yi spoke first: "Master! Can you fill up my water bag as well? That way, you don't have to share yours."

Ye Er looked at Ye Tingxiao hopefully, hoping that he would agree to let each of them take a pot of water, enough for them to drink for a while on the road.

Casting a cold gaze on Ye Yi, Ye Tingxiao threw out four words: "Greedy."

Ye Yi didn't dare to say anything, thinking that what his master said was right. It was good enough to be given one pot of such precious water, so how could he expect more?

Ye Er touched his nose, glad that he didn't say it out loud, otherwise he would have been given a cold shoulder by the prince.

After filling the water bag, Du Wanwan came over with the water bag and threw it to Ye Tingxiao: "Take it."

Ye Tingxiao took it: "Thank you!"

Ye Ye Er stood up and retreated two meters away. This was the rule. The master had something to say to Miss Du, so they had to be on guard, fearing that someone with ulterior motives would approach.

Du Wanwan waved at them: "There is still some water in the water tank in my car, you can go and fill it up too."

When the two heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up like 200-watt light bulbs.

"Really? Thank you so much!"

"Thank you Miss Du!"

Hearing that it could be loaded with water, Ye Ye ignored everything else and rushed to the wheelbarrow.

Ye Tingxiao looked unhappy: "You are nice to them." I just asked you to give me a pot of water but you were reluctant.

"They are your men." Du Wanwan glanced at the man in front of her unhappily. "They kowtowed to me when they came, which shows that they know what is good for them. What about you? They gave you good things, but have you ever thought about repaying the kindness?"

"Yes." Ye Tingxiao took out a large silver note from his pocket and handed it to Du Wanwan, "This is my reward to you."

"What?" Du Wanwan took it suspiciously and took a look at it in the light of the fire. It was a silver note of five hundred taels. "You use this to buy my water? Four pots in total?"

"More?" Ye Tingxiao asked deliberately. Seeing Du Wanwan's expression getting even uglier, he suddenly felt happy and couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth slightly. "Less? Sorry, this is the only one I have left. I'll give you another one when we get to Liang County."

After glaring at her, Du Wanwan folded the banknotes back to the original state, stuffed them into her pocket, and threw them to Yaya: "That's good enough. I won't sell my water for any money. Only you can get some from me."

Ye Tingxiao said seriously, "Yes, except for me, don't let anyone know that you have this water. Remember, remember."
