In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 174: An Unwelcome Reunion

Moreover, the courtesans in these courtyards were all genuine clear courtesans; to become their honored guest required far more than just money.

After entering the pavilion, Yue Mingxuan immediately lowered his head, shrinking himself as much as possible, looking like an inconspicuous little servant.

If the madam were to find out that he had come to the front courtyard, who knew what kind of trouble would arise.

Yue Mingxuan quickened his steps to the second floor and handed the golden and silver steamed buns in his hands to the young servant waiting outside.

He then turned around to leave, but stopped in the very next second.

The familiar voice coming from inside the private room, if it wasn’t Shang Qinghua, then who could it be?

Thinking about how he himself had been abducted, gone missing, and was now working here like a beast of burden for free, while Shang Qinghua was sitting comfortably drinking flower wine, Yue Mingxuan felt unbearably aggrieved.

Without thinking, he stepped forward and kicked open the door to the private room.

All the people inside were stunned by his action, and they stared in shock at him.

For a moment, the room was so silent that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.

When Yue Mingxuan saw the people inside the room, he was also so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

There were indeed familiar faces inside, but it was not Shang Qinghua.

Instead, it was Xi Yu and another man dressed in green.

Around that green-clad man were four or five courtesans, making him look like a single green leaf sprouting from a cluster of red flowers.

Because the birthmark covered most of his face and because no one here had seen Yue Mingxuan’s true appearance, Xi Yu did not recognize that the person who had barged in was him.

He frowned slightly in displeasure and said, "Qiuyue, it seems your courtyard is lacking a bit in discipline."

Qiuyue who had been called out glared at Yue Mingxuan and said, "Young Master Xi, this person is not from our courtyard. With that kind of appearance, he wouldn’t even be able to enter our front gate. Even those who carry night soil look better than him."

The green-clad man glanced at Yue Mingxuan as if he hadn’t heard the others speaking at all, continuing to drink his wine on his own.

Xi Yu, meanwhile, was amused by Qiuyue’s words and laughed. "Qiuyue, you’re still the same as ever, your mouth shows no mercy at all."

Hearing Xi Yu’s cheerful laughter, Yue Mingxuan shot him a glare and retorted, "Just as foul-smelling as the night soil in the bucket."

At those words, the green-clad man turned his head and looked at Yue Mingxuan in surprise, yet still did not speak.

Xi Yu, however, laughed so hard that he bent over. "Qiuyue, it looks like you’ve finally met your match."

Being mocked like this by Yue Mingxuan, Qiuyue was instantly so angry that her pretty face flushed red.

She shouted repeatedly, "Qiuyu, Qiufeng! Go find someone and send this ignorant slut to the madam immediately. Tell her I said this, either she stays or I stay. If she stays, I go!"

When Qiuyu and Qiufeng heard this, they turned and walked outward.

Just as they reached the doorway, they heard the green-clad man say, "Miss Qiuyue, your tolerance seems a bit too small. Someone merely said a single sentence, and you already want to throw him out?"

Yue Mingxuan cast a somewhat grateful glance at the green-clad man, then immediately turned around and said to Xi Yu, "Xi Yu, you’re indulging in pleasure like this, have you repaid the money you owe others yet?"

Hearing Yue Mingxuan speak this way, Xi Yu’s pupils instantly dilated, then he immediately put on an indifferent expression. "I thought this servant was just someone who didn’t know his place. I didn’t expect him to be sick in the head as well."

As he spoke, he swept his gaze over the warbling courtesans around him and said, "You tell me, am I, Xi Yu, the type of person who owes others money?"

The courtesans nearby hurried to answer one after another upon hearing Xi Yu’s question.

"Young Master Xi could never owe anyone money."

"That’s far too absurd, Young Master Xi couldn’t possibly owe anyone money."

"If anything, it’s others who owe Young Master Xi money."

Yue Mingxuan shook his head gloomily.

There were people everywhere around him now, and he did not know the true background of Qiuyue Hall.

He did not dare rashly ask Xi Yu for help and could only probe indirectly in this manner.

Yet who would have thought that Xi Yu, this fool, would not understand at all.

The green-clad man looked at Yue Mingxuan, a trace of interest appearing on his face.

This ugly person clearly knew Xi Yu, and judging from the hints in his words, Xi Yu even seemed to owe him money.

But then why was Xi Yu unable to recognize him?

After being mocked by the group of courtesans for quite some time, Yue Mingxuan said, "Xi Yu, has the wound on your back healed yet? Do you need me to apply some alcohol for you again?"

Hearing Yue Mingxuan say this, Xi Yu felt a wave of soreness spread across his back.

Ever since he had been driven out of that medical clinic by Shang Qinghua, the wound on his back had been improving day by day, but the thread used for stitching had remained embedded in his flesh.

He had tried to pick it out himself, yet he did not know what method that damned doctor had used, it could not be removed, and with even a bit of force, the pain was so intense that cold sweat would pour down his body. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"What relationship do you have with that medical clinic?" he asked.

Seeing this, Qiuyue quietly gave Qiuyu beside her a look.
