Chapter 218: Separation Woe
218 Separation Woe
Nanglong family territory
Soujin looked towards Lou with a dark face. Lou had expected this ever since he saw Jun Hua at that valley. Soujin wanted to meet Jun Hua the most, but he never got the chance to do that. Now that his subordinate met with her, how can he not feel regret for not personally come to rescue Ming Xiao and the others?
By the side, Yan was already laughing till his stomach hurts. His best friend was busy handling matters in here while the girl he fancied was saving his brother. The face on Soujin face was truly the best from what he had ever seen.
On the other hand, Ming Hui chose to stay quiet and look towards the paper in front of him. He didn't want to court disaster by stabbing into Soujin anymore. He may be doctor, but his physical strength was not that high. Just by hearing the news, Soujin face had darkened and that dumb Yan had to add the oil to the fire.
Ming Xiao acted as if he was not there and sat down on his chair without moving. He knew how terribly Soujin can be and despite being a prince, he didn't have the courage to provoke Soujin.
"Yan, since you're so happy, do you remember the debt that you owe me?"
Hearing the relaxed tone of Soujin, Yan face fell. He knew what the other party meant was the debt of owing money for buying the other cities. At that time, he didn't have sufficient funds and can only turn to Soujin for help.
It has been some time and with the interest Soujin gave him, it will be a wonder for when he can pay the money back.
"Give me more time! The business is going to be successful, just you see!"
Yan was not being boastful. He was truly capable on the term of business. It was just Soujin asked at the wrong time.
"You have to pay me double."
Yan almost vomited blood because he knew how big the money he owes. Doubling them…. This man sure was ruthless!
Ming Hui pretended to not hear the two of them. "You should feel lucky that he no longer needs to beat you up for the spies to see."
Yan nodded. But somehow he felt that being hit was better than being robbed like this. Soujin was just helping him to build his image as a troublemaker prince by him making the other party angry and getting beaten up. The appearance of Jun Min even helped him more to the point the emperor felt tired whenever he heard the news about Yan.
Soujin no longer bother with that matter. He turned towards Ming Hui.
"How's Jun Hua?"
"She looks fine and pretty as usual," Ming Hui answered. "She seems really calm even when we all come to that place."
Soujin nodded. What he wanted the most was news about her condition. Having only separated for a short amount of time, he had already missed the girl very much. Pushing that thought to the bottom of his heart, he looked towards the other guard.
"You're dismissed."
"Yes Master."
With one single sentence, they disappeared. Soujin looked towards Ming Xiao. "What have you got out of Yuan Kingdom?"
"Their prince is really similar with Jun Min," Ming Xiao said carefully, he could feel the room tensed up when that name come out. Nevertheless, he still continued. "He has refined bearing, but behind it, I could feel danger."
Soujin furrowed his brow. Someone who had refined bearing from Yuan Kingdom…
Yan struggled to sit down after being mentally hit by Soujin. "It's Prince Tang Xuan. He is the sole son of the emperor from Yuan Kingdom. Usually, he had refined bearing, but when I meet with him before, I could feel the danger like I feel from Soujin and Jun Min."
"When did you meet him?"
"When I take your grandfather there, at that time, I was searching for a business partner and that prince is on my list. With some help, I manage to meet with him, but he's not an ordinary person."
Yan still remembered that doing the transaction with the Yuan Kingdom was really hard. They seemed to be really crafty and careful with their entire step they take. They have refined bearing from outside, but decisive when making action. Hearing the news about that prince when he was there makes him realize how dangerous that person can be.
Ming Hui looked confused. "I have never heard this name before. Why has he suddenly grown so big?"
"Yuan Kingdom never shows their teeth for a long time. But, it doesn't mean they don't have any," Soujin answered. "Yan, you better go back there."
"Going back in this midst of war?"
"Yes."
Looking at that expression of Soujin, he knew that the other party would never accept the answer no. With resigned feeling, he pulled the blanket over him and slept there. It would be better for him to not talk with the other party for a while before he got even more knife dealt to him.
Ming Hui rolled his eyes. "You can stay here if you want. I will meet with Fan Lanying first."
"She has returned?" Ming Xiao knew that the girl was going to the war under Soujin. He hadn't heard about her returning.
"Because Lou had to go, she stays in the capital. I'm sure she is reuniting with her father. Probably, this will be a perfect change for me to appear before them," Ming Hui grinned.
Ming Xiao rolled his eyes. Ming Hui was just showing off his love towards Fan Lanying to them. Come to think about it; he wanted to meet with Lin San too and looked at her condition.
Seeing the expression on their face, Soujin face turned sullen. Out of the three of them who already have someone they fancy, only he cannot meet with the other party. He truly wished for the war to be over as soon as possible.
Yan wanted to laugh at Soujin, but then he remembered his condition. If the other party were to force him to pay three times, that will be months of business. Holding his best to not laugh, he closed his eyes and pretended to be sleeping.
Soujin noticed Yan was shaking a bit, but he didn't say anything. He slowly stood up.
"I will return first."
Ming Hui nodded. "I also want to go back. Yan, don't stay here too long, or the servant will lock you inside."
"I understand," Yan answered under the blanket as the others left the room one by one.
