Chapter 561: Are there really people like that?

While speaking, Wan Gu kept his eyes on Qiming, wanting to assess his physical condition, which was his primary purpose for coming over.

With a cold gaze fixed on Qiming, Wan Gu remained silent for a while before breaking into a soundless smile.

It seems that Qiming has found a skilled physician. However, it remains to be seen how long this poison can be suppressed.

“Outrageous! How dare a mere servant show such disrespect to our master,” the person next to Qiming angrily rebuked.

Who is Wan Gu? He is a renowned Poison Master with the most obedient temperament. There are very few who dare to speak to him in such a manner.

He is accustomed to being arrogant and doesn’t listen to anyone except for Su Yu and the master who raised him. Now, a guard actually dares to speak to him in this manner. Such audacity.

In the blink of an eye, Wan Gu was already in front of the guard. His distinctively defined fingers were gripping the guard’s neck, and with a forceful grip, the guard ceased to breathe.

Qiming never expected that a servant under Su Yu’s command would dare to kill his guard right in front of him.

Although the guard wasn’t a confidant, the fact that his own man was killed in such a manner left Qiming feeling extremely disgruntled.

Staring coldly at Su Yu, he said, “Don’t you owe me an explanation?”

“An explanation? What explanation?” Wan Gu snorted.

“No one has dared to speak to me like this before.”

Wang Jinhe looked at Wan Gu as if she was about to applaud him.

Wan Gu’s actions were just too domineering.

“You…”

“Su Yu, have your subordinates all become so insolent?” Qiming looked at Su Yu with a strange and unfeeling expression, then said to Su Yu, “Su Yu, why don’t you tell him about Wan Gu’s identity? He should be embarrassed by his behavior. In this world, apart from emperors of various countries, the last people you want to offend are skilled physicians. He wouldn’t lack such common sense, would he?”

“Someone who’s already halfway to the grave dares to demand an explanation from our young master? If you provoke me, I’ll send you straight to the grave,” Wan Gu said disdainfully with a cold sneer.

Qiming’s face changed slightly. “Who are you, really?”

This person could actually see that his days were numbered. Who on earth was he?

Wan Gu snorted and completely ignored Qiming.

Qiming could only turn his gaze to Su Yu. “Who is he, really?”

“The apprentice of a divine physician, with considerable medical skills,” Su Yu said nonchalantly.

“Can you tell that I have a health issue?” Qiming squinted at Wan Gu and asked.

However, Wan Gu remained as tight-lipped as a clam. Su Yu looked amused. This was indeed something Wan Gu would do and part of his character.

Being humiliated time and time again, Qiming was in a very bad mood.

However, Wan Gu was likely the person who could help him detoxify. He couldn’t afford to be too confrontational. He could only turn to Su Yu and ask, “Su Yu, how skilled is he in medicine?”

“As you can see.”

Did Su Yu’s words make any difference?

Just as Qiming was about to ask something, Su Yu suddenly spoke, “You’re lucky to have found someone who can suppress the toxin for you. But I wonder how long this toxin can be suppressed?”

One sentence changed Qiming’s expression. “Do you know what kind of toxin I’m afflicted with?”

He hadn’t even had his pulse taken, yet he could tell?

Wan Gu fell silent again. Wang Jinhe couldn’t help but look at Wan Gu, wondering if he was trying to infuriate Qiming.

Qiming was truly getting infuriated. At a critical moment, Wan Gu remained silent, which was simply too much.

“Su Yu, have him help me detoxify.” Even when seeking help from Su Yu, Qiming still maintained an air of superiority, as if asking Su Yu for help was a great favor.

“You’re quite bold. Why should Su Yu help you? On what grounds?” Wang Jinhe looked at Qiming with a sarcastic smile.

Ignoring Wang Jinhe, Qiming looked at Su Yu. He believed that Su Yu wouldn’t refuse his request. Apart from refusing to go to Qi Empire to help him, Su Yu had never turned down any of his requests. He believed this time would be no exception.

However, Qiming was too confident. Su Yu looked at Qiming and said, “I can’t help you with this matter. You have to ask Wan Gu yourself. If he’s unwilling, no one can change that.”

“Su Yu, are you deliberately opposing me?”

“Previously, you said you wouldn’t involve yourself in court affairs, but now you’ve become the prince of Xuan Empire. To save your own life, you left me in the deep mountains. If my people hadn’t arrived in time, I would have died. Now, you’re unwilling to help with this. I’ve truly misjudged you.”

Qiming’s questioning left Wang Jinhe very displeased. She slammed the table heavily and spoke with a cold expression, “Qiming, you really think highly of yourself. Who do you think you are?”

“As for your claim that Su Yu left you in the deep mountains, why don’t you ask your loyal subordinates what really happened? The person Su Yu saved back then turned out to be a backstabber.” Wang Jinhe spoke angrily.

Qiming frowned at Wang Jinhe. “What do you mean by that?”

“Exactly what I said. If you can’t understand that, it only proves that your intelligence is questionable,” Wang Jinhe retorted sarcastically.

Previously, Su Yu had not cared much about these matters, but now she felt that it was not worth it. He almost lost his life and came back to this. What a joke.

“Escort the guest out. After this, there’s no need to report when the prince of Qi Empire  comes again. Don’t let them in, and if they dare to trespass into the our residence, there will be no mercy for them,” Wang Jinhe ordered coldly.

After giving the order, she didn’t give Su Yu a chance to speak and left with her entourage.

As they left, Su Yu didn’t even look at Qiming.

Qiming’s expression turned cold, and he raised his hand as if to grab Su Yu. “Stop. Explain yourself.”

Yuan Bao stepped forward and used all his strength to strike Qiming, injuring him and dislocating his wrist due to the force.

Yuan Bao looked at Qiming as he reset his hand. “Prince Qi, please leave.”

Qiming, with a dark expression, looked at Yuan Bao. “Prince of Xuan, I’ll remember this.”

“Please remember, Prince Qi. You may leave,” Yuan Bao replied.

Qiming left in a huff. Watching him leave, Wan Gu’s eyes turned cold. “I want to kill him.”

“Qiming cannot die in Xuan Empire,” Yuan Bao frowned.

They all wanted Qiming’s life, but they couldn’t act against him in Xuan Empire.

No matter how much they hated Qiming, he had to leave Xuan Empire properly. Otherwise, it would bring endless trouble to the emperor, and it wasn’t the time for war yet.

Wan Gu was somewhat annoyed. “So we just let him swagger in front of us?”

Qiming would definitely come back later.

“Afterward, when he returns, we can properly deal with him.”. A merciless approach was out of the question, as they needed to leave him alive.

“How is the poison in his body?” Yuan Bao asked Wan Gu.

Wan Gu snorted discontentedly. “He just found someone to temporarily suppress the poison. The more forcefully it’s suppressed now, the more severe the outbreak will be later. I’m waiting for the day when Qiming digs his own grave.”

“Are there really people like that?”
