Chapter 163: Chapter 163 Trouble Comes Knocking (6)_1

Suddenly, a languid voice interrupted, and everyone turned their heads to see Yan Junyu, who was sauntering in with his Jade Bone Fan, the very picture of elegance.

"Hmph, if it won’t listen to you, that’s because you’re useless. Otherwise, who would have carried the Xiao lad down from the mountain and run back to deliver the message?"

Doctor Gui snorted coldly, tearing down Yan Junyu’s facade.

"Oh, I wonder who it was that got chased by Little Flower into the washroom and didn’t dare come out. In the end, he even begged me to get rid of Little Flower," retorted Yan Junyu with a taunt, laughing heartily.

"You—" Anger flooded Doctor Gui, the shame of his lifetime being torn apart by Little Flower and hiding in the washroom, yet this detestable man had to rip open old wounds.

Seeing that Doctor Gui was about to erupt, Chu Heng hastily stepped in to ask Yan Junyu, "Huaixi, what brings you here so late?"

"Just checking if Big Ice Cube is dead yet," replied Yan Junyu offhandedly, glancing at Xiao Ruiyuan. Though his words were venomous, the concern within them wasn’t hard to discern.

"Thanks," said Xiao Ruiyuan, tugging at the corner of his mouth. Clearly accustomed to Yan Junyu’s unique way of showing concern, he didn’t mind it at all.

Yan Junyu curled his lips, pulled over a chair, and sat down, leaning lazily against the backrest, before returning to the previous topic: "The depths of Yuhua Mountain are so perilous, and Little Flower isn’t stupid, why would it willingly go looking there?"

He had raised that creature since it was small, and whenever he needed a small favor, it was like coaxing the ancestors. Not to mention sending it into the mountain to look for the Red Python—such a dangerous errand.

At this, Xiao Ruiyuan and his companion fell silent for a moment.

"I personally saw Little Flower obeying that young lady very well. If she asked, maybe Little Flower would be willing," Doctor Gui refused to give up, knowing that Chu Heng didn’t have much time left and without those specific medicinal herbs, even a deity would be hard-pressed to save him—they had to at least try.

Hearing this, Xiao Ruiyuan frowned, "Let’s table this matter for now, and we can talk about it when the right opportunity comes."

He knew Little Flower was quite obedient to Miss Mo, and if she would discuss it with Little Flower, it was very likely willing. However, the mission was too dangerous, and given Miss Mo’s character, she definitely wouldn’t agree to let Little Flower take the risk, especially since the Crown Prince’s life had nothing to do with her.

Though he could force Miss Mo to agree with his authority, he was not willing to do so, and moreover, this matter also implicated the struggle for the Crown Prince’s eminence—it wasn’t right to involve an ordinary girl like her in the affairs.

Doctor Gui, surprised, looked at Xiao Ruiyuan. This lad had nearly lost his life in pursuit of the Red Python, and now that there was a better solution, he was hesitating.

A glint of ambiguous meaning flashed through Yan Junyu’s narrowed eyes as he watched Xiao Ruiyuan.

While Chu Heng was surprised, he also knew Xiao Ruiyuan wouldn’t harm him and thus let go of his doubts.

Mo Yan, who was in the Space studying the Merit Pearl, had no idea someone was plotting to involve Little Flower.

"Little Flower, do you think Xiao Ruiyuan could really be God’s own son?" Mo Yan asked absently as she looked at the Transparent Pearl covered in red patterns, with only a tiny blank spot left.

After saving Xiao Ruiyuan the last time, the Space had jumped up a level, and although it hadn’t made such a leap this time, the new red pattern surpassed the progress she had accumulated over several months.

With another seven or eight good deeds, Space could ascend to the Fourth Level. Compared to her previous life where she toiled for over a decade to reach only the fifth level, the pace now was practically at rocket speed.

Having finished her examination of the Merit Pearl, Mo Yan resumed her labor. There were still many plots of land in the Space that couldn’t be fully utilized yet, and the grown grains were harvested only when she was free.
