Chapter 171: Not only is his looks gone, but his life is almost gone too!

I don’t know why, but when Xu Yanyi saw Master Yue, she felt inexplicably more comfortable.

Master Yue walked up to Xu Yanyi and handed her a food box, without even looking at Mu Nanzhou and Li Qiuer, whose faces were covered with several black handprints from him.

"What is this?"

Xu Yanyi was a little surprised. It was already dawn outside. She thought that Master Yue didn't like the two girls and went back to the Dajin Temple to sleep in anger. Why did he come back with a gift?

"Princess Nanling has taken the trouble to find a wife for me, so I am naturally grateful. As a noble person, Princess Nanling would definitely not be interested in my money and jewelry, so I went back to the Dajin Temple and borrowed the kitchen to make some vegetarian buns. I will bring them to the princess in the morning to taste as a thank you."

Master Yue's eyes were full of tenderness.

The corner of Xu Yanyi's mouth twitched, and she reached out to take the lunch box and opened it.

Good fellow.

The vegetarian buns are really hot and freshly made from the oven.

But Mr. Yue, you must have some misunderstanding. Thanking people should be tacky. She will never refuse anything like gold, silver, jewelry, etc.!

Xu Yanyi smiled and took a bite of a vegetarian bun. She was actually a carnivore, and the vegetarian buns were too bland and not really her favorite.

But, Master Yue was so thoughtful that he was especially afraid that she would be hungry so he went home and personally made a bag of buns for her. She couldn't just refuse.

At least don't appear to be too critical.

Thinking of this, Xu Yanyi immediately said: "Master Yue, you are really not an ordinary person. These vegetarian buns are really delicious. It just so happens that the shopkeeper and waiter of this inn are all away from home. There are few people in this area within a hundred miles. These vegetarian buns are really delicious."

Master Yue nodded slightly: "As long as you like it."

The two of them were eating buns and talking leisurely, completely ignoring Mu Nanzhou and Li Qiuer, as if the black handprints on their faces had nothing to do with Master Yue.

Li Qiuer angrily reached out to wipe the black handprints off her face, but for some reason, the more she wiped, the harder it became to wipe them off. The more she wiped, the more she felt her face was covered with the handprints, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Mu Nanzhou grabbed her arm and told her to stop wiping it, and shouted at Master Yue: "Zhan Qiyue! What have you done?"

Um?

Is this Master Yue’s full name?

Xu Yanyi's heart was moved.

Then why not call him Master Zhan, but Master Yue?

Master Yue looked towards Mu Nanzhou slowly. No one could see his expression beneath the mask, but his voice was calm without any emotional ups and downs. However, such a voice still made people feel a sense of oppression inexplicably.

"It's nothing. It will come off if you wipe it with oil."

Master Yue seemed to not take what was happening in front of him seriously at all.

Mu Nanzhou glared at Master Yue fiercely: "What is your relationship with Xu Yanyi? What shameful things did you do behind my back?"

Upon hearing this, Master Yue laughed sarcastically as if he had heard a big joke: "Prince Nanling, I and the Princess of Nanling are just casual acquaintances. If we take this seriously, I would just help you out when you see injustice. I can't bear to see you teaming up with a woman like this to bully your wife."

"How funny! She is my princess! Even if I bully her, it is none of your business!"

Mu Nanzhou clenched his fists tightly.

Master Yue raised his eyebrows coldly: "Perhaps King Nanling has forgotten something. I am suffering from a terminal illness and I don't know when I will die. I will do my best to fight for justice. It's just death, it's a matter of time. Besides, I don't have any family or friends to be implicated, so it's okay."

This is simply a direct confrontation with Mu Nanzhou.

Xu Yanyi leaned aside to watch the show. It was said that this Master Yue was a very manly man. Who was his sweetheart? She was so ignorant that she ruined Ronghe's terminal illness...

Uh, if you think about it this way, it’s pretty serious. Not only is my reputation gone, but my life is almost gone too.

"Zhan Qiyue! Don't force me to really attack you!"

Mu Nanzhou looked like he couldn't help himself.

However, Master Yue still looked calm. He said the most vicious words calmly: "King Nanling, you will not get any benefit if you attack me. I am a dying man. If you argue with me, I will argue with you and peel off the skin from your body."

“…”

Mu Nanzhou was shaking with anger.

Xu Yanyi was just curious about what kind of relationship there was between Master Yue and Mu Nanzhou. If it were someone else, with Mu Nanzhou's temper, that person would have died at least ten times. Even last time, Mu Nanzhou sent secret guards to kill Master Yue, but in the end those killers were not Mu Nanzhou's men, which meant that Mu Nanzhou had called back his own people.

Although she didn't know the relationship between them, she could see that Master Yue had something on Mu Nanzhou, but Master Yue never used this leverage to threaten Mu Nanzhou. He only came out to remind him not to go too far when he couldn't stand it anymore.

What kind of evidence could make Mu Nanzhou so jealous of an ordinary citizen?

illegitimate child?

Having affairs between men and women?

Want to rebel?

Several strange ideas flashed through Xu Yanyi's mind, but unfortunately she rejected them all.

Master Yue glanced at Li Qiu'er again and pointed at her face: "I told you that you can't wipe it off with your bare hands. The more you wipe your face, the more it hurts. Just rub it with some tea oil and it will be clean." After a pause, he said to Mu Nanzhou sarcastically, "You are the dignified King of Nanling after all, and you chose such a stupid woman. I don't know what kind of vision you have."

"Zhan Qiyue!"

Mu Nanzhou was so angry that he wanted to pull out the sword at his waist.

Li Qiuer quickly grabbed Mu Nanzhou's arm. Although she was not born into a noble family and her horizons were not broad, she was not a complete fool. She could naturally see that Master Yue had something on Mu Nanzhou, otherwise Mu Nanzhou would not have been so controlled by others.

If she really angered Master Yue, it would be a small matter to perish together with Mu Nanzhou. But if her face really couldn't be cleaned, who would she cry to?

Thinking of this, Li Qiuer hurriedly grabbed Mu Nanzhou and acted in a generous and decent manner: "Brother, forget it. Why should we make enemies when we are out? Let's go clean our faces. Qiuer will make you something delicious."

Mu Nanzhou took a deep breath, staring at Xu Yanyi who didn't say a word but looked very happy, and then he said to Li Qiu'er: "Okay, I'll listen to you. It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. There's no need for me to bother with dying people. I just want you to be fine, Qiu'er."
