In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 136: A Debt of One Hundred Taels

At this moment, only gold could comfort his wounded little heart.

The instinct of a killer made Xi Yu feel that something was not quite right.

He observed the masked man in front of him.

When Yue Mingxuan heard his name, there was no look of surprise in his eyes, which meant that he was not someone from the martial world.

However, judging from his movements, which were clean and decisive with a hint of carefree boldness, he did carry a bit of a heroic air.

Thinking of this, Xi Yu asked cautiously, "May I ask, where am I right now?"

When Yue Mingxuan heard this question, he opened his mouth in surprise.

He had never heard that a back injury could cause memory loss.

Could this man be pretending to be confused on purpose to avoid paying the hundred taels of gold?

Yue Mingxuan studied Xi Yu carefully and asked, "Do you still remember your name?"

Xi Yu sighed.

He had thought this person was different from other people, but he had not expected him to be a bit foolish. "Sir, I already said it just now. My name is Xi Yu." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"You came to our clinic covered in blood," Yue Mingxuan said calmly. "You said that if I saved you, you would give me one hundred taels of gold."

Seeing that Xi Yu’s thinking was clear and that he did not seem to have any brain injury, Yue Mingxuan stated the facts directly.

Yue Mingxuan’s words stirred a bit of Xi Yu’s memory.

He did remember forcing himself, with his last bit of strength, to reach a medical clinic.

So this place was actually a clinic?

And the man in front of him had saved him for the sake of that one hundred taels of gold?

Seeing that Xi Yu seemed to recall what had happened, Yue Mingxuan continued, "You know you were slashed across the back, right? If it wasn’t stitched in time and got infected, it would have been very troublesome."

In truth, although the wound was deep, the sword strike had skillfully avoided the lungs and several major blood vessels, which make it only looked frightening on the surface.

Xi Yu listened to Yue Mingxuan, who spoke with obvious pride in his tone, but did not expose it.

When Yue Mingxuan went on and on, even extending the topic to how the wound could affect Xi Yu’s future happiness if it had not been treated, Xi Yu could no longer endure it and interrupted him, "I have no money."

Yue Mingxuan’s passionate explanation was cut off in an instant.

He glared angrily at the man in front of him.

He had heard of people eating meals without paying, but he had never seen someone receive treatment without paying.

Still, the stitches were already done and the wound had already been disinfected.

He could not exactly rip the stitches open and throw the man out, could he?

He wanted to say something, but did not know what to say.

After a long pause, he finally said, "I think that sword of yours is worth some money. Leave the sword here. You can bring gold later to redeem it."

Xi Yu refused without hesitation. "No. As an assassin, the sword in my hand is my life."

"If I hadn’t saved you, you really would have lost your life already," Yue Mingxuan replied unhappily. "If you were dead, who knows who would have picked up your sword by then."

The man in front of him, even if he was a killer, must have been a very low-level one.

Otherwise, how could he have been cut down by a single sword strike?

It was clear that his skills were not good enough.

Thinking this, Yue Mingxuan spoke with a sharp and mocking tone,

"If you don’t have the ability, then don’t pretend to act like a real assassin. If you want to protect your sword, you must first protect your life."

Yue Mingxuan’s words made Xi Yu feel both angry and amused.

Who could have imagined that he, Xi Yu, one of the top assassins in the martial world, would end up being mocked like this by a young medical practitioner in a shabby clinic, all because he could not afford one hundred taels of gold?

This was truly a case of a tiger falling to the plains and being bullied by dogs.

When Yue Mingxuan saw that Xi Yu’s expression had turned unpleasant, he did not continue mocking him.

Although Xi Yu’s skills might not be enough against real experts, they were still more than enough to deal with the people in this clinic.

Yue Mingxuan sighed inwardly.

He had waited an entire day and ended up bringing back nothing but this walking disaster.

"Since you are unwilling to give me your sword, then you must have something valuable on you, right? Or you can have your friends come and redeem you. I can’t just work for nothing."

After all, Yue Mingxuan could not let his efforts go to waste.

The last time he saved Rong Tieshan, he had at least squeezed out one thousand taels of gold from Consort Rou.

However, now, he could not even get the promised one hundred taels.

This was truly unfair.

Xi Yu thought for a moment, then took out a jade qilin from his chest.

The quality of the jade was extremely ordinary, so ordinary that it could even be called cheap.

If it were placed on the market, it would likely attract no buyers at all.

However, because it had been treasured for many years, it carried a faint aged sheen.

He hesitated briefly, as if making a difficult decision and then placed the jade qilin into Yue Mingxuan’s hand.

"Take this jade qilin to Prince Shang. The money I owe you, you can ask him for it."

When Xi Yu mentioned Shang Qinghua, Yue Mingxuan’s hand trembled and he almost dropped the jade qilin onto the ground.

This imperial capital of Beirong was really too small.
