Chapter 459: Chapter 460: Killing with a Borrowed Knife!
The voice of Young Master Zhao grew louder and louder, making the woman a bit flustered. She had experienced disruptions like this before.
Just like with Young Master Zhao, those troublesome men were also after Zhou Ruxian.
The only difference was that in the past, there had been something wrong with the men pursuing Zhou Ruxian, but Zhou Ruxian herself was beyond reproach!
They could stop the other party and provide an explanation!
But now the problem was with Zhou Ruxian!
*How could they explain?*
*Imagine, what man wouldn’t be anxious or let his mind wander knowing the woman he admired spent a whole afternoon in a room with another man?*
*Moreover, this issue was truly difficult to explain clearly!*
“Young Master Zhao, he really was a doctor invited by Fairy Zhou,
and though they were in the room all afternoon, there were always others present watching.
Nothing happened at all!
Please, don’t overthink it!” the woman thought and replied.
Young Master Zhao let out a cold smile.
“In a room all afternoon, nothing happened? With people present? Do you take me for a fool?
You think I’ll just believe what you say?
Who knows if they did anything improper?
Enough with the chatter!
I will go see for myself!”
He waved a hand, and Yong Hai and Zhou Qing stepped forward, standing by his side.
The message was clear; if they didn’t step aside, he would take action!
“Young Master Zhao, are you done yet?” A female voice descended from upstairs.
Young Master Zhao looked up and saw Zhou Ruxian gazing at him with disgust.
“Fairy Zhou!” His anger vanished in an instant, replaced by a beaming smile.
Zhou Ruxian maintained her stern expression.
“Is there something you need, causing all this racket?” She asked impatiently.
Young Master Zhao’s face lit up with a smile.
“Oh, nothing much, just wanted to see if you’re doing well!
By the way, that doctor?”
“He’s my friend. If you continue to slander me and him,
Nanny Chen will escort you down!
And don’t even think about getting on the boat in the future!” Zhou Ruxian spoke coldly.
Young Master Zhao scratched his head, bowed, and spoke.
“Alright, alright, it’s all my fault!
Fairy Zhou, please don’t be angry!”
Just as he finished, a rough voice rang out from behind him.
“Young Master Zhao, why do you talk so much nonsense?
And you dare to doubt Fairy Zhou, do you think your brain’s not working?
If you don’t believe, you can leave, no one will stop you!”
*Ridiculing him in front of Zhou Ruxian!*
*The voice sounded familiar!*
Young Master Zhao turned around with an extremely unpleasant look on his face, seeing Qinghe Gang master looking at him as if he were an idiot!
“Hello, Fairy Zhou, how are you?” Qinghe Gang master then bowed, politely greeting Zhou Ruxian.
“Still okay!” Zhou Ruxian responded just as coldly.
Qinghe Gang master wasn’t offended; instead, he smiled even more brightly.
“As long as Fairy Zhou is in good health, don’t be angry with this playboy, it might harm your health!
It’s not worth it!
This time, I invited a Divine Doctor for Fairy Zhou, who might be able to treat your condition and help you recover!”
He extended his hand, pulling Divine Doctor Xue forward.
“This is him, Divine Doctor Xue!
He heals the sick and has miraculous skills!” Qinghe Gang master said. “Would you like him to take a look at you?”
Zhou Ruxian glanced at Divine Doctor Xue.
“We’ll talk later, I need to prepare for my performance.
After it ends, bring him to me!”
She turned and went back to her room.
Qinghe Gang master beamed with a bright smile.
“Success!”
He then bowed.
“Fairy Zhou, please take care!”
Young Master Zhao stood by, his face turning green!
*His noise had bothered Zhou Ruxian enough to make her come out and explain.*
*Not only did he not get any benefits, but he also incurred Zhou Ruxian’s disdain.*
*That was fine!*
*After all, with Fairy Zhou’s explanation, he could feel somewhat relieved!*
*But in the end, it was Qinghe Gang master who gained the upper hand!*
*That was a huge loss!*
*Qinghe Gang master was his rival in love!*
“Boss Qing, how could you be so shameless?”
Qinghe Gang master frowned.
“Young Master Zhao, speak truthfully; how am I shameless?”
“Ha, weren’t you just as angry as me when you heard about Fairy Zhou’s situation outside?
Thanks to me, you came in and found out that Fairy Zhou and that guy had nothing going on.
Then you relaxed and turned around to scold me, stealing the limelight.
If that’s not shameless, what is?” Young Master Zhao retorted.
Qinghe Gang master folded his hands behind his back, looking very serious.
“Young Master Zhao, don’t slander Fairy Zhou, and don’t slander me!
I have utmost trust in Fairy Zhou!
Rumors won’t affect my admiration for Fairy Zhou!”
Young Master Zhao sneered, spitting in defiance.
“You? Trust? What are you pretending to be?”
“I’m not pretending, I’m sincere!”
“Alright, then what if Fairy Zhou has a man, what will you do?”
Qinghe Gang master smiled faintly.
“What would I do, you ask?
With my admiration for Fairy Zhou, if she has someone she likes, I’ll be happy for her!
I wouldn’t be as unreasonable as you, making Fairy Zhou annoyed and having to come out to scold you, causing her discomfort!
Don’t you care about Fairy Zhou at all? Don’t you know her health isn’t good?
And you say you like Fairy Zhou! Pah!”
Qinghe Gang master’s words infuriated Young Master Zhao, making him point at Qinghe Gang master as his body trembled.
“What? You can’t speak now?
Let me tell you!
You’re really embarrassing today, I’m ashamed to be associated with you!”
Qinghe Gang master pulled Divine Doctor Xue with him.
“Let’s go take a seat in the private box, and listen to the music, watch the dance!”
Young Master Zhao was speechless with rage.
“Young Master Zhao, need me to deal with him, hammer him to death?” Yong Hai asked, raising his hammer.
Young Master Zhao fixed his gaze on Qinghe Gang master, taking a deep breath.
“No rush, wait until Fairy Zhou’s performance is over before taking action.
Don’t disturb Fairy Zhou and make her despise me more!” he felt bitter inside.
*An ugly, burly Qinghe Gang master won over Zhou Ruxian by stepping on him!*
*And he succeeded!*
*He was such a disgrace!*
*”When can I be as shameless as him?”* Young Master Zhao thought.
He, along with Yong Hai and Zhou Qing, also entered a private box, settling into seats.
The people who had paid to board the boat and see Zhou Ruxian perform also all streamed in.
The boat filled up, and the private boxes were packed with people.
They were all waiting for the appearance of Zhou Ruxian.
Time passed slowly until Zhou Ruxian appeared, and the flower boat erupted with cheers.
Then it quieted down as Zhou Ruxian’s performance began!
The serene melody flowed like rippling water.
Inside the room!
“Master, do you want to go out and watch Ru Xian’s performance?” Shangguan Yunlian asked.
After she spoke, Yang Yan did not respond.
“Master…”
She moved to Yang Yan’s front, locking eyes with him.
In that moment, her expression changed drastically.
If only Yang Yan’s hair had turned to mud, she thought she could accept it.
But as they faced each other, she saw that Yang Yan’s forehead, eyes, and nose began to turn into mud, slipping down.
It was terrifying!
“Hmm? Oh, you’re asking if I want to go out and watch the performance?” Yang Yan asked.
Shangguan Yunlian nodded slightly.
“Yes, Master, but you currently…” She looked at Yang Yan’s appearance, feeling a pang in her heart.
*”Is this what love feels like?”* she thought.
Yang Yan set his teacup down and stood up.
“It’s fine, let’s go out and take a look!
I also need to keep an eye on Zhou Ruxian’s condition.
Wouldn’t want her to deteriorate beyond help!”
Seeing Yang Yan stand up, Shangguan Yunlian immediately supported him.
“Master, let me help you!”
She helped Yang Yan, opened the door, and they stepped out of the room.
They stood by the railing, looking down below.
“Master, hold on to the railing, I’ll go get you a chair!” Shangguan Yunlian said, releasing her grip.
“Alright.”
Yang Yan directed his gaze downward, watching Zhou Ruxian on stage.
She was dressed in an exquisite white gown, softly murmuring, her voice melting like a gentle melody into the ears, soothing the soul.
Her dance was ethereal, her body casting a faint white aura, making her appear like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
While others admired the beauty, Yang Yan was focused on the stone flower in Zhou Ruxian’s mind!
*”The stone flower looks worrisome!”* Yang Yan thought. *”Let’s start now!”*
He held his breath, brought his fingers together like a sword, and moved slowly!
His presence caught the attention of Young Master Zhao and the others in the opposite box.
“Young Master Zhao, look over there.
Isn’t that man the one Fairy Zhou invited?” Zhou Qing was the first to notice, promptly alerting.
Young Master Zhao had been lost in Zhou Ruxian’s music and dance.
Suddenly interrupted, he initially wanted to get angry.
Hearing what Zhou Qing mentioned, he put everything aside and looked over, raising an eyebrow.
“It’s him, yes, it’s him!
But what’s the big deal? Fairy Zhou explained, there’s nothing between them!”
Zhou Qing leaned closer.
“Young Master Zhao, just look at his face, then you’ll know!”
“Is there something wrong?” Young Master Zhao fixated on Yang Yan’s face. “Does this… he looks like this and still treats people?
He must be the one sick!”
Yang Yan’s appearance gave him a shock.
“He probably isn’t a doctor!” Yong Hai chimed in from the side.
Young Master Zhao nodded.
“Definitely not!
If he’s not, then what was he doing in Fairy Zhou’s room all afternoon?
Damn it!
They all deceived me!”
He gritted his teeth!
“You guys go finish him off, I’ll go question Fairy Zhou!”
Young Master Zhao stood up immediately, instructing Yong Hai to take action, and Zhou Qing grabbed him.
“Young Master Zhao, finishing him off is no problem, but do you still want to win over Fairy Zhou?” Zhou Qing asked.
Young Master Zhao was taken aback.
“I want to, no matter what, I must have Fairy Zhou!
What are you trying to say?”
“Hehe, if you want Fairy Zhou, then we mustn’t make the move.
Because if we truly finish him, and Fairy Zhou sees it, she’ll hate you!
Why not take this chance to tell Qinghe Gang master then?”
Upon hearing this suggestion, Young Master Zhao snickered!
“Zhou Qing, what a clever way to kill with a borrowed knife!”
