Chapter 382: Chapter 361: First Update

Prince Duan was holding the tea, not yet having taken a sip, when he panicked and almost threw down the cup; however, fearing to break such an expensive cup, he dared not do so. He immediately thought about leaving but felt it inappropriate.

The room had already erupted into cries, with Manager Su wailing over his own boss.

"Master, Master, what happened to you?" The accompanying waiters were also panicking helplessly, stealing glances at Prince Duan, wondering why he wouldn’t come over, why wasn’t he coming over?

Prince Duan felt that leaving now was even more inappropriate, yet he didn’t know how to save a person. With everyone in the room in chaos, he wanted to speak up but couldn’t find anyone to talk to.

"I say—" Prince Duan finally found the crux of the problem. Why had no one called for a physician, "Quickly, go call for a physician."

"Oh, oh, the Prince is right, hurry, go find a physician." Elder Su immediately clung to it like a lifeline, "Your Highness, Your Highness, we are strangers here, thank you for your guidance."

Prince Duan suddenly realized, they were indeed a newly arrived shop.

"Go out, turn right, two streets down you’ll find the medical hall." said Prince Duan.

Immediately, two waiters dashed out. Elder Su’s hands trembled as he looked towards Prince Duan.

"Your Highness, you say our master, he..." Elder Su looked earnestly at Prince Duan, begging him to speak, hoping a word from him could save his master.

"Manager Su, I am not a physician," Prince Duan was cautious, but saving a life was a good deed. Glancing at the owner of Famous Collectibles Shop, with his eyes tightly closed and face pale, he recalled that a house servant had once been in a similar condition.

"Manager Su, why don’t you try some sugar water?" Prince Duan suggested, then immediately regretted it. What if it wasn’t appropriate? What if it delayed the treatment?

"Sugar water?" Elder Su quickly turned to his subordinates, "Quick, bring the sugar water, fetch the sugar water."

A series of voices followed, and soon one waiter had brought the sugar water.

"Master, Master—" Elder Su called to his own master.

The Master of Ghoul Ravine slightly opened his eyes, water?

The plan had certain variables, so it had not been detailed. It depended entirely on spontaneous improvisation. Elder Su had already brought the bowl close to his own master.

The Master of Ghoul Ravine slightly opened his mouth, reluctantly took a sip of sugar water, and then wanted no more. He just didn’t like sweets. But Elder Can was too anxious to care; he poured another mouthful, and the Master of Ghoul Ravine endured it and took another big gulp.

Elder Su breathed a sigh of relief, touched by his master’s sacrifice, and then secretly nudged his master, signaling that he could wake up now.

The Master of Ghoul Ravine frowned. Was this the signal to awaken?

The Master of Ghoul Ravine slowly opened his eyes, and Elder Su prepared a loud voice, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.

"Master, you’re awake." The voice of Elder Su was joyful and surprised.

The Master of Ghoul Ravine frowned; he was not yet fully awake, why all this shouting and doing.

Prince Duan immediately relaxed, feeling that today’s venture was likely to fail and it would be best to leave now.

Reluctantly, Prince Duan glanced at the inkstone on the table, just as he was about to excuse himself, when Elder Su already grabbed the hem of Prince Duan’s robe, his gratitude overflowing.

"Thanks to you, Prince Duan—" Elder Su clung to the hem of Prince Duan’s robe. How could they let him go, the drama was just beginning, and if the main character left, what would they perform?

"Your Highness, you have saved our master’s life," Elder Su felt he had not yet done enough, so he immediately started kowtowing.

The Master of Ghoul Ravine frowned slightly, wondering why he had never seen this side of Elder Su before?

It turned out, the Master of Ghoul Ravine sat down on the ground, and the people under him, fearing the Master of Ghoul Ravine, did not dare to come forward to help him.

"I say, Manager, this isn’t urgent, you go about your business first, and wait for the physician to come and take a careful look. It’s more prudent; I will take my leave now and return later."

Elder Su was taken aback. Indeed, thanking Prince Duan excessively at this moment could seem too deliberate; he could only let go.

"Prince, since you are letting it go, today I will not..." Prince Duan did not delay and went straight towards the exit of Famous Collectibles Shop.

"Oh, and Manager Su, at least keep those two inkstones reserved for me; I will come for them tomorrow—" Prince Duan said as he reached the doorway, not forgetting to instruct.

Elder Su immediately had a clear understanding and nodded right away.

"Prince Duan, rest assured, this item, before you have seen it, I will not show it to a second person."

"Why did you let him go?" Master of Ghoul Ravine looked at Elder Su displeased. What’s this? Wasn’t this the perfect opportunity to send the item out?

"Master, I have thought of a better plan. Tomorrow, master, you can bring me with you, legitimately, to Prince Duan’s Mansion to deliver the inkstone, and perhaps even meet the Young Master."

Master of Ghoul Ravine was momentarily stunned; the suggestion made a lot of sense.

...

Elder Can returned to Prince Duan’s Mansion and saw that his Young Master was not there; surely, he was in the Commandery Princess’s Courtyard again.

Elder Can wanted to wait for his Young Master to return, but the matters of today were quite important; he could not wait and had to carefully instruct the Young Master first so that he could rest assured.

Elder Can gritted his teeth and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Usually, he could not enter the inner courtyard. Even their Young Master could not enter without the Commandery Princess’s permission, so as soon as Elder Can approached the entrance, he was stopped.

"Nanny Qin, I am looking for our Young Master—" Elder Can said with a smile.

The newly arrived Nanny Qin was specifically there to guard the door. She had long disapproved of Elder Can and Yin He; if not for being cautioned by Nanny Yun and Xing Yu, she would have already spoken up.

Nanny Qin glanced at Elder Can with a slight disdain and spoke sarcastically,

"I say, Old Man Can, do you even know the rules? In this mansion, there are only two proper masters. Where do all these ’Young Masters’ come from? If you want to be a Young Master, don’t be here serving others."

Elder Can originally had no intention of dealing with Nanny Qin, and was even prepared to ignore her, but this time was different.

Elder Can took a step back, his smile not only remaining but even growing wider.

"Nanny does have a point. Our master has indeed been found, and I was thinking of bringing the master to recognize someone tomorrow," Elder Can said, his previously laid groundwork making the statement less suspicious now.

Nanny Qin was taken aback; she had heard of this, but had not taken it seriously. Now seeing Old Man Can’s serious expression, she couldn’t quite discern the truth from the falsehood.

"Has this really happened?" Nanny Qin couldn’t believe such a coincidental matter.

"Thanks to your blessing, Nanny, the Commandery Princess’s blessing, the Prince’s blessing," Elder Can said immediately, smiling more,"Nanny, may I now..."

"Step lightly—" seeing this, Nanny Qin felt it was not good to keep stopping him, and sometimes Elder Can did enter; it seemed he might be reporting on this matter now.

Elder Can quietly entered the inner courtyard. Inside, it was entirely silent, devoid of any voices, right up to the main entrance, where he saw Xing Yu dozing off.

Elder Can was startled and looked at the sky. It was almost dark; was she still taking a nap?

Elder Can did not know whether to go in or not, when suddenly he heard a voice come from inside the house.

"Oh, Yin He, stop making trouble—" Elder Can immediately tensed up and coughed. Xing Yu lifted her head and patted the dust off her buttocks.

"Old Man Can, what are you doing here?"

"Miss Xing Yu, I have a matter to report to the Commandery Princess—" Elder Can said, his expression respectful, wishing to look inside the courtyard, but Xing Yu was standing in his way.
