In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 168: Four Shadow Guards

As he finished speaking, the emperor clapped his hands and immediately four black figures appeared inside the imperial study.

"These are the palace’s shadow guards. During this period of time, they will be under your command."

Yue Mingxuan looked at the four people kneeling on the ground and felt secretly delighted in his heart.

He now had shadow guards of his own.

Even if it was only temporary, it was still better than having none at all.

Yue Mingxuan knelt and bowed to the emperor. "Mingxuan thanks Your Majesty for for your grace."

This expression of thanks was completely sincere, more real than true gold or silver.

The emperor waved his hand and Yue Mingxuan immediately withdrew with good sense.

Kneeling for an hour in exchange for four highly skilled shadow guards, no matter how one calculated it, he had not lost out.

When he returning joyfully to his courtyard, Yue Mingxuan loudly called out for Sui He.

Having gained four shadow guards, he naturally had to show them off properly.

Seeing Yue Mingxuan wearing a full smile, as though he had obtained some priceless treasure, Sui He asked, "Your Highness, did something good happen?"

Yue Mingxuan smiled mysteriously. "You guess?"

Sui He thought for a moment and tentatively said, "Has His Majesty bestowed a marriage upon you?"

Please, did Sui He really think his master looked that much like a lovesick fool?

Yue Mingxuan shot Sui He an unhappy look. "Guess again."

"Did... did you pick up gold?" Seeing Yue Mingxuan’s dissatisfaction, Sui He spoke cautiously. "Or maybe His Majesty rewarded you with gold?"

Although what Sui He guessed was indeed something Yue Mingxuan would like, he still shook his head. "Wrong."

After guessing twice and still being wrong, Sui He said helplessly, "Then this servant truly can’t guess."

Yue Mingxuan clapped his hands smugly and the four shadow guards instantly appeared in the courtyard.

"Sui He, come, let me introduce them to you. These are Hei Yi, Hei Er, Hei San, and Hei Si."

Sui He sized up the four shadow guards before her.

They were dressed in tight black outfits, their expressions calm, their temples slightly bulging at a glance, one could tell that their internal cultivation had reached a profound level.

Four people with such formidable martial skills had actually become their master’s shadow guards?

She hesitated before speaking. "Your Highness, this is...?"

"These are four shadow guards bestowed upon me by His Majesty. From now on, they will be specially responsible for the safety of our courtyard," Yue Mingxuan said proudly.

On the way back from the imperial study, he had not been idle at all.

He had already thoroughly grasped the martial styles of the four shadow guards and had conveniently given them names as well.

"The tallest one has the best lightness skill, his name’s Hei Yi. The one of medium height is good with hidden weapons, his name is Hei San. The one on the far side has exquisite blade techniques and his name is Hei Si. As for the last one, the one that looks good, his name is Hei Er."

Listening to the names Yue Mingxuan had introduced, Sui He felt a bit helpless.

Her Master naming skill is bad as always.

As a shadow guard, whatever the master said was an imperial decree and they need to obey it without question.

On this side, Yue Mingxuan was still feeling smug about his brilliant naming scheme.

"So? Aren’t these names pretty good?"

Seeing that Yue Mingxuan was in a very good mood, Sui He did not dare to pour cold water on him.

She could only cast an "I really can’t help you" look toward them, then echoed obediently, "They’re very good."

Being praised by Sui He put Yue Mingxuan in an even better mood and he even ate more than usual at dinner that evening.

Thinking about how he had been busy with these matters recently and had not gone to the clinic for several days and now that he had obtained four shadow guards, he naturally needed to go to the clinic and show them off.

At daybreak the next morning, Yue Mingxuan happily left the palace with Sui He.

Naturally, he did not forget to bring Hei Yi, Hei Er, Hei San, and Hei Si along.

When Yue Mingxuan and the others arrived at the clinic, it was still early and the doors had not yet opened.

The master and servant chose a breakfast stall across the street from the clinic, sat down, and ordered a few buns to eat.

Before long, the sunlight spread across the entire street, the pedestrians gradually increased and the clinic finally opened its doors.

After paying for the food, Yue Mingxuan brought Sui He into the clinic.

Because it had just opened, there were not many patients inside.

Only Xiao Mei was tidying up the counter.

Seeing Yue Mingxuan enter, Xiao Mei quickly came forward to greet him. "Sir, you’re here."

Yue Mingxuan nodded and said, "Mm. I came to take a look. Has everything been fine lately?"

Xiao Mei nodded as well. "Everything has been fine, but the person you treated last time left on his own the very next day. He didn’t even have his stitches removed."

Hearing that Hei Yi Yin had left, Yue Mingxuan did not care much.

Leaving was leaving, after all, his consultation fee had already been paid by Shang Qinghua.

Seeing that Yue Mingxuan showed no intention of blaming anyone, Xiao Mei continued, "He didn’t even pay his consultation fee."

Yue Mingxuan nodded. Before he could say anything, a white figure accompanied by a bell-like voice suddenly threw itself into his arms. "Big brother!"

Just from the voice, Yue Mingxuan knew it was Miaojue.

He pinched Miaojue’s cheek and asked, "Why did you come by yourself? Where’s your big brother?"

Hearing Yue Mingxuan ask this, Miaojue puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction. "Big brother, you ask about my big brother the moment you see me. You don’t dote on me anymore."
