In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 193: Unspoken Tensions

This Prince Qing, though naturally weak, could, with proper surgery, he potentially rise to great heights.

Yue Mingxuan had no idea that Pan Lutong was already thinking far ahead.

He continued fanning the fire for the decoction with full focus.

The medicine needed to simmer over low heat for three hours, and he had to watch it closely.

There were many herbs in the prescription, some of which even the Imperial Medical Hall didn’t have in stock.

Only Gongsun Xing could prescribe such a formula.

In the Silver Needle Sect, there was no such thing as rare herbs, he didn’t even know what scarcity meant.

After staying a while and checking on Rong Qinglei’s condition, Pan Lutong left, leaving the vast bedchamber occupied only by Yue Mingxuan and the unconscious Rong Qinglei.

Time passed slowly, minute by minute.

Yue Mingxuan began to feel a bit drowsy, so he rose to get some fresh air outside the door.

To his surprise, as soon as he stood up, he bumped into a solid chest. Looking up, he saw that the person was Shang Qinghua.

Does someone with martial skills really move without making a sound?

Yue Mingxuan cursed silently in his mind.

Shang Qinghua, on the other hand, had been knocked back two or three steps by the collision.

He realized just how weak he had become.

He gave a bitter smile to himself.

Even extreme methods like embedding silver needles into acupoints couldn’t temporarily make him feel like a normal person anymore.

Seeing Shang Qinghua’s face pale, Yue Mingxuan quickly helped him sit down and reproachfully asked, "Have you fully recovered?"

Shang Qinghua gently pushed his hand away. "I’m fine."

The silver needles were slowly being squeezed out by the internal energy in his acupoints, giving him less and less time to stand.

He took two steps back, leaned against the soft couch, and asked, "Isn’t Gongsun Xing good enough? Why didn’t you choose him?"

If he had chosen Gongsun Xing, at least they wouldn’t have ended up on opposing sides in the future.

Hearing he admitted he already had someone in his heart filled him with an indescribable rage.

No one knew how much he wanted to rush in the moment he heard that, but he had to hold back because Pan Lutong was present.

No one knew how badly he wanted to strangle this little guy before him.

He had the audacity to hide that he already had someone in his heart?

He would not allow it.

Seeing Shang Qinghua’s eyes burn red with anger, Yue Mingxuan felt a surge of irritation.

"Are you spying on me?" he asked sharply.

Has this man gone mad? What business is his personal life to him?

Seeing the defiant expression on Yue Mingxuan’s face, Shang Qinghua raised an eyebrow and a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips. "Oh? That day at the brothel, you touched my body and stole my jade pendant. Later, at the hot spring in the back mountain, you stripped off my clothes, while you yourself were wearing nothing but an inner clothes."

At this point, he deliberately paused before continuing, "Oh right, the two of us even bathed together in the cave hot spring... Tell me, if you were a man, could you tolerate your Ger having once done such things with another man?"

Yue Mingxuan thought about it seriously before answering honestly, "No."

Back in the modern world, his views on romantic relationships had been downright old fashioned.

He had never even held hands or kissed someone on the cheek. Yet after transmigrating, he had ended up being taken advantage of again and again by these people of ancient times.

Thinking about it now, it really was infuriating.

Unexpectedly, Yue Mingxuan answered so frankly that Shang Qinghua froze for a moment. Then a smile curved across his face, and he raised his voice slightly as he asked, "Then what does Prince Qing think?"

Shang Qinghua’s words startled Yue Mingxuan badly. He quickly turned around, only to discover that Rong Qinglei, who had previously been unconscious, had already woken up and was propped against the head of the bed.

Yue Mingxuan quickly run forward to lend him a hand and said awkwardly, "Rong Qinglei, y-you’re awake... What he said isn’t true... I..."

Anyone would feel embarrassed having such private matters overheard, especially when the listener was his closest friend.

However, before Rong Qinglei could speak, Shang Qinghua said, "Mingxuan, why are you lying in front of Prince Qing? Tell the truth, weren’t all the things I said is the experiences we shared together?"

Yue Mingxuan was both anxious and angry and the words slipped out before he could stop himself. "Even if we did experience them together, it’s not like what you said at all!"

Shang Qinghua suppressed a laugh and said, "Then tell me, what exactly was it like?"

Yue Mingxuan thought for a moment and said, "There were indeed such things, but they weren’t the same as how you described them... How were they different? Actually, they were kind of the same..."

He slapped his own forehead in frustration.

How stupid, he had been completely led around by Shang Qinghua in just a few sentences.

At that moment, a slightly cool hand rested on his shoulder. When he turned around, Yue Mingxuan saw Rong Qinglei smiling at him.

"Mingxuan, there’s really no need to explain. Everyone cares about these things, but I only care about you as a person."

Rong Qinglei’s words moved Yue Mingxuan a little, yet something about them felt strangely off. "It’s really nothing... I just feel a bit embarrassed."

Rong Qinglei smiled and patted Yue Mingxuan’s cheek, then turned to Shang Qinghua and said, "If Prince Shang came today to tell me these things, then I already know now. Is there anything else?"

Someone as clever as Shang Qinghua could not possibly miss the dismissal in Rong Qinglei’s words. He smiled and stood up. "Prince Qing truly has a broad mind. No wonder His Majesty values you so highly as a successor."
