Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

Chapter 154 The Good Show is Halfway Through

Ming Xiao took a deep breath and said, "It is an heirloom of our Ming family. It is also the key to the Ming family treasure house."

"Oh~" Rong Ying took the stone from Lu Jinzhao and looked at it: "So this is what Qin Han wanted?"

Qiansui: "Such a small stone, no one would want it if it was thrown on the beach, but it actually became the main source of the Ming family's disaster. Tsk."

Damn this little world, don’t be too outrageous!

As for the stone, no conclusion could be reached for the time being, so they decided to let things take their own course and wait and see how the situation developed.

Since the competition was over and there was still half a day left, Rong Ying suggested going to a nearby bookstore or gambling house to have some fun, so he picked up Lu Jinzhao and jumped out of the window.

The eldest senior brother will definitely not go. He doesn't dare to ask the master, but he doesn't want to be alone. The younger junior brother is small and can be used as a pendant, which is just right.

Qiansui chased after him quickly: "Hey, hey, hey! Give the child back! He's only three years old!!"

Although Ming Xiao was more polite than Rong Ying, he was still young at heart. He looked at his master who was always reading books, put his hands on his chin and sighed.

"Why are you sighing, kid? Come here and give me a shoulder massage." Sui Guan said casually.

Ming Xiao obediently walked to Sui Guanxian's side, and touched the flexible hair on his master's shoulders with his hands. He felt like he was electrocuted, and his heartbeat was completely out of control. He didn't dare to let the person with his back to him notice anything, so he gently massaged the person's shoulders: "Master, do you have any other hobbies besides reading?"

"A lot, but unfortunately I'm tired of them all."

When he had almost finished massaging Sui Guanxian's shoulders, Ming Xiao brought him some tea and snacks, and he hesitated several times to speak.

Sui Guanxian had already taken off the straps in front of his eyes, and glanced at him calmly with his silver eyes, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Regarding Duan Xuan's beating of Bai Chao, did you know that this would happen?"

"That's it."

"I don't quite understand. Since you knew from the beginning that Duan Xuan was not a good person, why didn't you explain it to Miss Cheng and let her cancel the engagement?"

Sui Guanxian asked back: "Why should I do this?"

"I thought you were... willing to help others?" Ming Xiao had no intention of accusing him. He was simply confused. "Bai Chao is innocent. Now his life or death is uncertain..."

"Huh?" Sui Guan was very happy and said, "I'm not a human being, why should I care about the life and death of humans?"

Mingxiao pondered for a moment and felt that Sui Guanxian was right.

What does it have to do with others whether they are dead or alive?

Especially someone like Sui Guanxian, who is not even a human being at all. Can we expect him to have sympathy for humans?

Humans themselves don't have much empathy for their own kind.

"Then can you tell me what's going on?" Ming Xiao asked sincerely.

Sui Guanxian broke off a small piece of tea and tasted it, then stuffed the rest of the piece in his hand into Mingxiao's mouth with disgust: "Listening to it will shorten your life."

"I won't listen anymore."

If the matter was so serious that just hearing about it would shorten one's life, wouldn't it be even more serious for the person who said it? He didn't want to harm his master just to satisfy his curiosity.

With his mouth full of food, the snack was too dry, and Ming Xiao swallowed it with difficulty. "Master, I just saw someone selling watermelons downstairs. I'll go buy one."

Sui Guanxian didn't look back and said softly, "It's up to you."

"Ok!"

After a while, Mingxiao came back with a watermelon in his arms. As he stepped over the threshold, the watermelon almost fell to the ground.

Sui Guan was sitting not far away. He raised his hand lightly, caught the watermelon before it hit the bottom, and put it on the coffee table, thus avoiding it from being broken.

He put two fingers together and drew them across the air, and the watermelon was divided into twelve neat pieces.

"How come you can't even hold a melon steady?"

Ming Xiao covered his eyes and turned around, revealing his red ears: "Master, can you please put on your clothes properly!"

Mermaids like coolness. Now that the temperature outside is high, Sui Guanxian doesn't like to wear layers of complicated cloth. Since there are no outsiders in his room, he simply puts on the simplest narrow-sleeved robe.

The clothes had an overlapping collar and a wide, loose neckline, and the material seemed like it could slide off his body at any time. The side part below the belt was still slit as high as ever, even to the base of his thighs.

The light from outside the window shines in, revealing her body curves.

He didn't have his third eye open at this time, so he didn't know what Ming Xiao was thinking. He didn't blame the child for pushing the door open without knocking.

Even if he opened his third eye now, he would not be emotionally agitated by being seen. After all, there was nothing to be embarrassed about being seen by a child. He would only feel that he had not exposed much at all, as he had exposed more when he was in the sea.

There are many secular rules in the world. If he were in the sea, he would just hang two pieces of cloth and go out on the street.

"You have what I have, so why are you embarrassed?" Sui Guanxian picked up a piece of watermelon and bit the sweetest part in the center. "Oh, yes, you are a child, you are shy."

Ming Xiao didn't pay attention to his master's joke. He silently said to himself, fortunately this man didn't dress like this and turn into a woman, otherwise he might have turned around and ran away the moment he entered the door.

Seeing Mingxiao's expression, Sui Guanxian could understand it without even opening his third eye, and jokingly said, "Why, do you want to see my female form?"

"No, no, no, I don't want to! You don't want to either! You must not change!" Mingxiao waved his hands quickly.

No kidding, with the gauze dress he is wearing now, what is the difference between turning into a female and not wearing any...

"It's really rare that someone doesn't want to see my female form."

"I I I I'm leaving!"

Sui Guanxian, revealing part of his true nature, successfully frightened the child into running away.

On the other side, Lu Jinzhao, who was held in Rong Ying's arms, sneezed, feeling that he had forgotten to do something.

That night, Cheng Yuanyuan visited with a sad face.

She knelt at the door of her father's study for the whole afternoon, but Old Master Cheng refused to help her save Duan Xuan no matter what. Finally, Li Xing helped her up and told her that the matter needed long-term consideration. The two of them wanted to find a quiet place to discuss countermeasures, and unknowingly came to the vicinity of the inn.

Since I was passing by, I came up to take a look.

Mingxiao brought a pot of tea, a pot of wine, and some snacks. When he entered the room, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Sui Guanxian. Seeing that the man was wearing a loose-fitting robe, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"How about I go and ask the Bai family to help? Ask them to come forward and ask the princess to give in?"

Li Xing shook her head disapprovingly. Cheng Yuanyuan was desperate and was trying every possible means to cure her illness.

"The young master of the Bai family is now seriously injured and in a coma. His life or death is uncertain. As long as he doesn't wake up, Duan Xuan will never be pardoned."

"What should I do...Father is unwilling to help, and he even ordered me to cut off contact with Brother Duan, saying that otherwise the Cheng family will become the laughing stock of the whole city." Cheng Yuanyuan punched the corner of the coffee table, "Father is too much!"

The coffee table cracked, and the corner fell and hit Mingxiao's feet as he was silently eating tea. Sui Guanxian glanced at it and said lightly, "Remember to pay for it."

Cheng Yuanyuan was annoyed by this indifferent voice, she rolled up her sleeves and rushed to Sui Guanxian, "It's just a broken table, I can afford to pay for it!"

"It's better to be able to pay the compensation."

She stared at Sui Guanxian, who had no expression on his face, for a long while. The heavy weight on her heart made her breathless. Her shoulders trembled and tears filled her eyes. "Even a broken table bullied me..."

Ming Xiao was startled, and quickly took out a handkerchief from his bosom and handed it to Cheng Yuanyuan to wipe her tears: "Miss Cheng, don't cry, things will work out when the time comes. There will always be a way."

Li Xing also came up to comfort him: "Yes, maybe Young Master Bai will wake up tomorrow?"

Sui Guanxian turned a page of the book and said calmly, "Why do we need tomorrow?"

Ming Xiao was stunned for a moment: "Master, do you have a solution?"

Before Cheng Li and the others could be surprised, they saw Sui Guanxian pull the sleeve away from Mingxiao's hand, clench his five fingers, and brush the back of his hand across the left half of Mingxiao's cheek, then move it behind his ear, lift up the loose hair by Mingxiao's ear, and snap his fingers.

Ming Xiao didn't know why the master cast a spell to play a trick on him. He felt a little itchy because of the broken hair. He scratched his face with his hands, and he always felt that the part that his master had just touched was terribly hot.

After a sound, the young master of the Bai family appeared in the room out of thin air, floating in the air, still unconscious.

"!!!" The three people in the room dropped their jaws in shock and turned to look at Sui Guanxian as if they had seen a ghost.

He turned a blind eye and produced a crystal bottle from somewhere, placed it in Mingxiao's hand, and asked him to go forward and feed the unconscious young master of the Bai Mansion.

Ming Xiao took the bottle and shook it, then asked cautiously, "Master, could this be poison?"

Sui Guanxian's pretty face was filled with a smile. He felt that this kid was very clever when he was smart, but very stupid when he was stupid. "Why would I harm him?"

Mingxiao nodded, relieved, pried open Bai Chao's mouth and poured the medicine into him.

No one knew what kind of magic medicine it was. As soon as it entered his stomach, Bai Chao woke up in less than two seconds. He found himself floating in the air for no reason. He struggled for a while and landed steadily on his feet. He turned around and saw Cheng Yuanyuan and Li Xing with shocked faces. He asked in confusion, "Why are you here?!

Cheng Yuanyuan was even more confused than him, "I should be the one asking you this! Didn't they say you were unconscious? Where did you come from?!"

In the private room, Li Xing was slightly surprised, Cheng Yuanyuan was shocked, Bai Chao was conflicted, Ming Xiao was bewildered, and only Sui Guanxian was unusually calm.

Li Xing roughly explained to Bai Chao what she knew. Bai Chao suddenly understood and bowed to Sui Guanxian and Ming Xiao: "Thank you both for your help. I am very grateful. I will bring gifts to you on a certain day to express my gratitude formally."

Ming Xiao quickly waved his hands, "I couldn't help at all, it was all done by Master."

Sui Guan didn't care about other people's affairs and ignored them completely.

Seeing this, Bai Chao didn't know how to start for a moment.

He comforted himself that all masters have their own tempers, and that is normal, very normal.

Although Cheng Yuanyuan didn't understand the situation, she shook her head violently to regain her consciousness, stepped forward, grabbed Bai Chao's hand and tried to pull him out, "It's good that you're awake. Come with me to ask the princess to release Brother Duan."

Bai Chao shook off her hand, "Can't you ask me first if I'm okay? Why are you thinking about that guy who wants to hurt you?"

"What did you say...? Brother Duan can't possibly want to harm me!" Cheng Yuanyuan was stunned, "Besides, aren't you fine now?"

Ming Xiao silently handed Li Xing a piece of watermelon and watched the show with his eyes wide open.

Bai Chao frowned: "I won't save him."

Cheng Yuanyuan was so angry at him that she stepped forward and grabbed his collar, "Why?! Since you are fine, then Brother Duan doesn't have to be punished anymore!"

Bai Chao stared at Cheng Yuanyuan steadily, and said word by word: "Whether I have serious consequences or not, he went to jail because of cheating and harming others! Even if you rescue him, what will happen? Do you think Uncle Cheng will agree to you marrying him with his current reputation?"

"Then I can't just watch Brother Duan suffer in prison!"

"Do you have a conscience? I ignored you because you were seriously injured and unconscious!"

"How could you be seriously injured because of me? You are sick!"

"Alright, stop it." Sui Guanxian was annoyed by the noise, so he interrupted the two people's red-faced argument and raised his hand to signal, "Everyone sit down."

"Hmph!" The two men sat down on either side of Li Xing, neither willing to give in.

Ming Xiao looked at the strange atmosphere and silently moved closer to Sui Guanxian.

Turning around, he saw Sui Guanxian placing a mirror on the table and taking out another exquisite jade bottle from his sleeve.

"Cheng Yuanyuan drank this. Do you have any of Duan Xuan's belongings?"

"Yes, I do, but what do you want me to drink, Senior?" Cheng Yuanyuan picked up the bottle of medicine, looking suspicious, "I don't want it, it looks too suspicious."

Sui Guanxian glanced at her and said, "Of course it's poison."

Mingxiao was choked by the watermelon and coughed more than ten times before he recovered.

Cheng Yuanyuan burst into laughter and said, "I don't believe that if you poison me to death, you won't be able to leave Guangting."

She drank the medicine in one gulp, remembered what Sui Guanxian had said before, and took off a jade bracelet from her wrist.

"This is what Brother Duan gave me. What do you want to do with it?"

Sui Guanxian picked up the bracelet and with one finger he channeled the spiritual energy that did not belong to Cheng Yuanyuan into the mirage mirror.

Ripples appeared on the mirror surface, and soon, Duan Xuan's face appeared.

"How magical!" Li Xing had never seen such a treasure before and couldn't help but sigh.

Everyone gathered around the mirror and saw a scene in which Duan Xuan was surrounded by women.

Cheng Yuanyuan almost crushed the porcelain cup in her hand.

In the mirror, Duan Xuan was holding two beauties in cool clothes in his arms. He kissed each of them on the face and smiled wantonly.

The seductive woman in his left arm fed him a grape and said, "Mr. Duan is about to get engaged to the Cheng family, but you dare to come here? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Miss Cheng?"

Duan Xuan swallowed the grapes in one gulp and snorted disdainfully: "That woman is so boring. She is either being petty or making a fuss. She won't even let me touch her. Seeing her makes me feel dizzy."

"If it weren't for the purpose of inheriting the Cheng family's business, I wouldn't hold her in high esteem."

"It's a pity that other noble families have sons to inherit the family business, but the Cheng family has no male heir, otherwise I would definitely choose a prettier one."

Perhaps because he was too relaxed, Duan Xuan said a lot of his inner thoughts in one breath.

For Cheng Yuanyuan, who wanted to marry him, every word of the sword drew blood and pierced her heart.

She suspected at first that it was fake, but when she saw the handkerchief in the interlayer of Duan Xuan's open collar, she no longer questioned it.

She had embroidered it herself. When she gave it to Duan Xuan, she was in the house with no one else around.

Even if someone deliberately created an illusion, it would be impossible for them to know this detail.

Bai Chao jumped up and almost started to curse, "I told you that this man had evil intentions, but you refused to believe me! Now you're done for! You almost got cheated of your money and your sex!"

Cheng Yuanyuan buried her head and, unusually, did not scold him.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Don't cry! If you really want to save him, I'll go with you! It's okay for me to go, right?"

Cheng Yuanyuan, with tears in her eyes, slapped Bai Chao in the face: "You idiot!"

This was the second time Young Master Bai was slapped in the face by a girl since he was a child. It was the same girl who slapped him. He just stood there.

Li Xing didn't expect things to develop like this, and hurried forward to comfort Cheng Yuanyuan.

Perhaps it was the effect of the medicine Sui Guanxian had given her. Cheng Yuanyuan gradually felt less sad. She wiped away her tears and forced a smile. "Duan Xuan, that bastard, actually dared to deceive me. Let me see how I'm going to kill him!"

The three were stunned again when they saw her recover so quickly.

But it’s a good thing that they can recover, and they feel relieved.

"Hey, do you know where this brothel is?" Cheng Yuanyuan wanted to check it out and prove Duan Xuan's guilt.

Bai Chao waved his hands and shook his head frantically: "I have never been to a brothel, how should I know?!"

Cheng Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow and looked at him, with a look of disbelief on her face: "The whole Guangting knows how many romantic affairs your Bai family's genius young master has had, and you tell me you haven't been there?"

Bai Chao was furious: "What a bullshit love affair! That was all made up by someone who was jealous of me!"

He was almost angry to death. If the person in front of him was not stupid, he would not be unmarried in his twenties. Young men of the same age already have several children who are already helping with household chores.

Now Cheng Yuanyuan is still questioning him on trumped-up charges.

How could there be such a stupid woman!

Rong Ying and Lu Jinzhao happened to see this scene when they came back carrying a huge bag each.

Chitose: "Oh no, the fun is over."
