Chapter 160 The Prince is also jealous
"Father, I am unfilial, but since I brought him to Xibeiwang City, I must protect him and give him the respect he deserves."
"Are you really willing to give up your father just for that brat?" The King of the Northwest was not only angry, but also felt a surge of jealousy in his heart.
"I... when did I say I don't want you? Father, I know you love me the most." Ye Qingyu is not stupid, she knows that she has to coax her own father too.
"You know that and yet you're still so angry with me! Get out of here!" Although the King of the Northwest said this, the anger in his tone was gone.
"Father, I don't ask you to acknowledge my relationship with Qing Yi. I just want you to promise me that you won't hurt him behind my back." Ye Qingyu made the request again without giving up. This was his last bottom line.
"Who do you think your father is? Tell him to behave himself and not provoke me!" Although the King of the Northwest did not make any direct promises, Ye Qingyu could tell that as long as Qingyi did not provoke his father, his father would not take action against him.
Although Qing Yi has a background in the Demon Cult and his master is the Demon Cult leader Mo Qitian, Ye Qingyu is still worried that his father will do something detrimental to Qing Yi in anger, so he is very stubborn and wants his father to express his opinion in person.
"Father, don't worry, Qingyi won't cause any trouble." Ye Qingyu assured confidently.
"That's better. By the way, I heard that he has been drinking Feixia recently?" The King of the Northwest suddenly changed the subject and asked.
"..." Ye Qingyu looked at his father: Father, you can't be so stingy, right? Just for a jar of wine?
"The wine I brew does not need to be given to outsiders." The King of the Northwest said with a hint of anger.
"What's a little drink? Father, when we were in the capital, Chenxiang drank freely too! You can't be so stingy!" Ye Qingyu tried to persuade his father not to be so picky.
"I'm stingy?" The King of the Northwest was stunned. His own son actually called him stingy. "Yes, I am stingy! From now on, Feixia, you are not allowed to take it out to drink without my order!"
"..." Ye Qingyu remained silent, thinking: I drank, what can you do to me? Can you punish me for a jar of wine?
"Anything else? If not, go out." The King of the Northwest looked at his disappointing son and couldn't help but sigh: How good he used to be. Not only was he good-looking, he was also capable, and most importantly, he was sensible! Look at him now, alas!
"Father, you either chase me away or avoid me. Do you dislike your child?" Ye Qingyu stood up and said slowly.
"Why would I hide from you? I went out for something! If you could break up with that guy, I..." The King of the Northwest stopped talking halfway.
"Father, don't worry, we won't break up. We're both fine." Ye Qingyu smiled faintly and turned away. He couldn't help but feel happy, seeing that his father's attitude had softened a bit. If he tried harder, his father would surely accept it slowly.
When the King of the Northwest saw his son leave, he couldn't help but sigh.
Suddenly, Mu Xin's words came to his mind: "The young prince seems to have become a different person since he got together with Qing Yi."
"Has he changed?" King Xibei narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in memory. He recalled his son's past and compared it to his recent behavior. He felt a mixture of emotions, and for a moment, it was difficult to tell whether this change was good or bad.
"Your Highness, Wang Daniu requests to see you." Just as the King of the Northwest was immersed in his thoughts, the butler's respectful voice sounded outside the hall.
"Wang Daniu?" King Xibei was slightly stunned, and quickly searched for the name in his mind, "Where did Wang Daniu come from?"
"Yes...it's the one you and Lord Mu Xin brought back to the mansion." The butler hurriedly explained, secretly guessing the prince's reaction.
"I brought him back home? Why don't I remember knowing any Wang Daniu?" the King of the Northwest asked in confusion. He had drunk quite a bit today, but he hadn't completely lost his memory. He really couldn't remember who this Wang Daniu was.
"Um... I think this Wang Daniu looks quite similar to that Divine Doctor Li..." The butler said it more tactfully. After all, Lord Mu Xin specifically told the old man that his name was Wang Daniu. Although he knew that he was Divine Doctor Li, he didn't dare to call him by his name. Who knew what the prince and Lord Mu Xin were up to?
"Divine Doctor Li?" The King of the Northwest finally woke up, the scene at the restaurant instantly reappearing in his mind. Although he was drunk at the time, his consciousness was not completely blurred. He vaguely remembered running into Li Qingting in the restaurant, and that guy had called himself Wang Daniu!
"Let him in!" ordered the King of the Northwest.
"Yes." The butler responded and hurried down to call him.
Soon, Divine Doctor Li followed the housekeeper into the hall, trembling with fear. Upon entering, he saw the King of the Northwest sitting in the center, his posture erect, his face majestic, and his entire body radiating an awe-inspiring aura. Divine Doctor Li's heart tightened, and he quickly knelt, saying respectfully, "Your Highness, I am honored."
He was arranged to stay in the guest room by the housekeeper. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He thought it would be better to leave the palace as soon as possible. When he wanted to leave, someone stopped him and said that Lord Mu Xin had ordered that he be treated well and was not allowed to leave.
Doctor Li, left with no choice, searched for Mu Xin. After finally finding him, Mu Xin told him he couldn't leave until he had consulted the prince and said goodbye to him. Li Qingting groaned bitterly, but there was nothing he could do. He simply couldn't bear to waste time like this any longer, fearing his junior fellow apprentice, Doctor Lin, would discover he had come to Xibeiwang City. So, he secretly went to the King of the Northwest to say his farewell.
"Wang Daniu?" The King of the Northwest raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the little old man kneeling in front of him with some inquiry.
"Um... Your Highness, my name is Li Qingting. Daniu is actually my nickname, haha, a nickname." Li Qingting had a bitter face, with fine beads of sweat faintly appearing on his forehead. He explained hurriedly, with a hint of panic in his voice.
"Oh, it's Doctor Li. Why does he look so familiar to me? Hurry up and take a seat."
"Thank you, Your Highness. I won't sit down now. I have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now." Li Qingting wanted to run away. He was a man with a bit of a charlatan temperament, and he always wanted to stay away from those who awe him. Now, facing the King of the Northwest, he felt uneasy.
"Hey, Doctor Li, why are you so polite? Three years ago, if you hadn't rescued me, my son's life would be in danger. Now that you have come to Wangcheng, I will treat you well to express my gratitude." The King of the Northwest said it very sincerely and politely.
"Come here, set the table. I want to entertain Divine Doctor Li." The King of the Northwest waved his hand, his voice full of energy and unquestionable majesty.
