Nangong Yu explained, "Using Ling Xiang's blood to save Zhen Zhen's life is worth it in my opinion."
"Why didn't you find me earlier?"
Faced with Helian Xiao's questioning, Nangong Yu was unable to explain.
What explanation could he give? That he was hoping for a lucky break and wanted to keep the emergency communication jade to save his life?
Gao Zhenzhen didn't want Helian Xiao to misunderstand, so she explained, "Uncle Helian, actually the prince has been looking for you all along, but he just couldn't contact you."
No contact? Helian Xiao saw through everything and said no more: "Yu'er, go apologize to Ling Xiang."
Nangong Yu nodded: "I will compensate Ling Xiang."
"Compensation alone is not enough. If you do something wrong, you should admit your mistake."
Nangong Yu frowned and thought for a moment, "Uncle Helian, it is rumored that Ling Xiang rescued an old man and brought him back to the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion. Do you know about this?"
Helian Xiao's eyes gleamed with wisdom: "Hasn't Yu'er already guessed the answer?"
Helian Xiao repeatedly defended Ling Xiang. Nangong Yu did guess the answer, but he didn't understand: "Why?"
Helian Xiao nodded: "Because I have taken a liking to Ling Xiang and would like to take him as my disciple."
Gao Zhenzhen couldn't believe what she heard and asked excitedly, "Uncle Helian, you want to take Ling Xiang as your apprentice? Why? Why her?"
It’s obvious that Helian Xiao should accept me as his disciple!
Helian Xiao's cultivation had already reached the highest point on the continent, so naturally he didn't need to explain anything to others: "Yu'er, let's go, follow me to apologize to Ling Xiang."
Nangong Yu is such a proud person, how could he admit his mistake? Even a Spiritual Lord couldn't force him to admit his mistake.
"Uncle Helian, Ling Xiang gave her blood to save Zhenzhen, and it was her own consent. I did nothing wrong. Besides, Ling Xiang isn't completely innocent in this matter either."
He was clearly her master, but now he wanted to take her rival as his apprentice. Gao Zhenzhen could not tolerate such a thing and went all out:
"That's right. How could someone as resourceful as Ling Xiang suffer a loss? It's not certain whether the blood added to the Heart Protecting Pill is Ling Xiang's!"
This reminded Nangong Yu. Ling Xiang said it was her blood, but no one saw that it was Ling Xiang who added her own blood to the Heart Protecting Pill.
Nangong Yu took out the bloody Heart Protecting Pill and said, "Uncle Helian, I will go with you to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion."
Helian Xiao shook his head: "No need, Yu'er, no matter whether Ling Xiang added her blood to the Heart Protecting Pill or not, as long as the Heart Protecting Pill is harmless to Miss Gao, she is not wrong. If you think you are right to force Ling Xiang to bleed, there is no need for me to waste my time here."
Seeing Helian Xiao about to leave, Nangong Yu advised: "Uncle Helian, Ling Xiang's talent is only at the fifth level. Do you really want to take her as your apprentice?"
"She is the disciple I have chosen, so what if her talent is only at the first level?" Helian Xiao's figure faded and disappeared on the spot.
Nangong Yu held the Heart Protecting Pill in his hand and did not move for a long time.
Even the destined master could escape. Gao Zhenzhen panicked and grabbed Nangong Yu's arm: "Your Highness, Uncle Helian seems angry. Will he blame us?"
Nangong Yu was in a complicated mood and comforted Gao Zhenzhen out of habit: "Zhenzhen, we did nothing wrong. Uncle Helian won't blame us."
Gao Zhenzhen was very worried: "But even if Uncle Helian doesn't blame me or the prince, there's no guarantee that Ling Xiang won't instigate Uncle Helian! Uncle Helian has no family. If he really accepts Ling Xiang as his apprentice, he will definitely dote on her and will definitely listen to Ling Xiang."
Thinking of that stubborn girl, Nangong Yu subconsciously denied it: "No, she is not that kind of person."
Hearing Nangong Yu defending Ling Xiang, Gao Zhenzhen felt very uncomfortable: "Does the prince know her well? She has already instigated Uncle Helian to come to us. Do you still think she won't cause trouble for us?"
Nangong Yu was silent.
His silence undoubtedly completely shattered Gao Zhenzhen's already fragile sense of security. She grabbed his arm and asked the question in her heart:
"Your Highness, did you have a way to contact Uncle Helian all along? Is Zhenzhen not worth using that method?"
Nangong Yu looked unhappy, but he still patiently coaxed Gao Zhenzhen: "Zhenzhen, don't think too much. I said I would cure you, and I will cure you at all costs."
Gao Zhenzhen was relentless, "Your Highness, tell me, Uncle Helian clearly came here to treat me, so why would he know Ling Xiang? And he even wanted to take Ling Xiang as his apprentice!"
Nangong Yu liked Gao Zhenzhen's gentleness and obedience. Seeing her like this, Nangong Yu's face darkened: "Who is Uncle Helian? No one can interfere with what he wants to do! Zhenzhen, this is not a question you should ask."
After knowing each other for so long, this was the first time Gao Zhenzhen was bullied by Nangong Yu. Her eyes immediately became moist: "Your Highness, I know I shouldn't ask, but you're making me so scared. Zhenzhen only has you now. If you even despise me, what should I do..."
This trick always worked for Nangong Yu, but now he just felt tired: "Zhenzhen, I said I would protect you for the rest of my life, and I will keep my word. However, you can't always doubt this and that, especially don't doubt my feelings for you."
Gao Zhenzhen was afraid that she would really make Nangong Yu dislike her, so she wiped away her tears immediately and carefully pulled Nangong Yu's sleeve: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, it's Zhenzhen's fault. Zhenzhen shouldn't have trusted you..."
"You should take good care of yourself and don't waste Uncle Helian's medicine." Nangong Yu lost his patience and turned away.
Gao Zhenzhen reached out her hand to keep him, but the man's back was too resolute. She didn't dare to gamble. She couldn't afford the price of losing the gamble.
Gao Zhenzhen sat dejectedly by the window, thinking about the changes in Nangong Yu in recent days, and a strong sense of crisis came over her.
She had to find a way to win back the prince and her master, except for Ling Xiang.
Ling Xiang was pushed against the wall, and before she could completely calm down, Helian Xiao had already left and returned.
Ling Xiang was in no mood to think about anything else. He simply lay under the tree and didn't move. He said listlessly, "Senior, let's talk about it later. I'm not in the mood right now."
Helian Xiao wondered why Ling Xiang had changed so much since he left, and asked in confusion, "Did Prince Huai bully you?"
Ling Xiang:!
It’s true that old people become more cunning!
Ling Xiang sighed and avoided this awkward topic: "Senior, are you going to tell me the result?"
Helian Xiao naturally didn't say anything more, "Xiang'er, King Qin Nangong Yu, his responsibility is not even as good as King Huai Xuanyuan Qi, it's not worth wasting your time on him."
In the original book, Helian Xiao took good care of Nangong Yu, and helped him a lot on the road to success.
Now, Helian Xiao's favorability towards Nangong Yu has dropped to a level lower than Xuanyuan Qi's, which was unexpected for Ling Xiang.
"What about Gao Zhenzhen?"
Helian Xiao shook his head and smiled: "She didn't eat any of the bloody heart-protecting pills you made. Yu'er said that a maid switched them."
