Yu Shu Huan only needs to open his mouth and talk about these things, but isn't it the others in this courtyard who are truly troubled? If Yu Shu Huan, as the master, still has to do chores, then Si Kongzi would be extremely angry. Thinking about it, Yu Shu Huan is not that kind of person, after all, he was once a big boss, and shouldn't be unable to manage these two people.

  No matter if it was himself or Yuan Shuhuan, there weren't several hundred people under that person's command. How to handle such matters should be clear to everyone. Although the environment has changed now, these inherent things will not change. No matter how much Yuan Shuhuan has fallen, he still knows how to be a master.

  "You'd better come with me, and please ask Wangou Aunt to help him prepare other things. I reckon this time, Sisong Zihong didn't bring anything either. This silver should be enough for Sisong Zihong to buy some household items and clothes." Yutiancheng took out a piece of broken silver. Wangou estimated it was about five taels, unfortunately, it wasn't a silver ingot.

  Wang You was completely unaware of Yu Tiancheng's situation, otherwise he wouldn't have wondered why Si Kong Zihong only carried small change. Si Kong Zihong had been traveling from country to country for years, which meant that he wouldn't use the specific currency of any particular country, but gold and silver were universally valuable.

  Yu Tiancheng always carries some spare change with him, although it may be worth a few cents less, but it's convenient and won't cause any accidents.

  "It's just that it's a bother, evil doctor." Si Kong Zi Hong rubbed his nose, but still didn't take out the money from his pocket. Although he himself wasn't short of this bit of money, after all, it was Yu Tian Cheng's intention, and he really couldn't bear to reject someone else's kindness. Moreover, it was rare for this face-paralyzed evil doctor to do something so full of human feeling. Apart from the two words "male", Si Kong Zi Hong could only use the phrase "the sun rising in the west" to describe him.

  "Han's wife brought two children, and a swordsman who only knew how to take care of children besides martial arts. It wasn't easy to support such a big family either. Moreover, everything in this household was newly purchased, and things were barely sufficient. Now that Ming Xuan has called you here, although it's for a good reason, some things should be prepared by yourself."

  Yu Tiancheng and Si Kong Zihong explained the current financial and family situation of Yuan Shuhuan. If something happens in the future, Yuan Shuhuan's evil fire erupts, and they are all swept out of the house, it would be bad. So some things are better said ahead of time.

  It was like when I first came, that was a mess. Fortunately, I also accidentally stumbled upon it, at least Yuan Shu didn't have any ill intentions towards me. This person back then was indeed bold enough, grateful to Yuan Shao for being able to do so, although he didn't know what kind of scene it was.

  Even if Yu Tiancheng wasn't as naive and ignorant as he is now, he still absolutely couldn't imagine that the era of hot weapons, where people fought with guns and cannons, was still too far away from him. Not to mention this era didn't even have gunpowder, those things were unknown what year or month they would appear.

  "But all of this can't be considered a problem for Qingmo Huan." After all, it was someone who had been evenly matched with himself in the past, and such things couldn't even be called matters in their eyes. "In the past, Qingmo Huan and I were both mixed in darkness, do you think we would lack ways to make money?" Just like how he wasn't considered a rich and powerful nation now, but the four words 'family wealth overflowing' still applied.

  "I had forgotten that you are quite wealthy, will the money I paid for you earlier be returned to me?" How could this poor man possibly go and rescue someone like Si Kongzi Hong who is so rich? The relationship between them seems to have been turned upside down by themselves. Indeed, it was not suitable to warn this person in such a way.

  Xiao Kongzi Hong was speechless for a moment, and Yu Tiancheng's expression changed as quickly as flipping through a book. Looking at his face, the words he spoke were really infuriating. Indeed, one shouldn't use common sense to infer Yu Tiancheng's thoughts, or else they would end up being deceived. This realization Xiao Kongzi had long ago, but just now he was still bewildered.

  "I'll return it to you doubled." Facing such a situation, Sī Kōng Zǐ Hóng could only sigh to himself. Anyway, following Yu Tiān Chéng with these things was just asking for trouble, and originally they didn't understand anything anyway?

  "Good." Although he said he wasn't short of money, who would complain about having too much. Especially since he had been wandering around outside for many years, it was even more beneficial to have more money for self-protection. Although this matter wasn't entirely aboveboard on his part, the two of them were willing participants in their own affairs.

  "Where is the king?" Speaking of which, the two people are also considered partners, especially now that they still live under the same roof. You say not visiting him would be very impolite. Although Si Kong Zi Hong said he came from the underworld, but after all, as a member of an underworld family, he still has the necessary etiquette.

  "You'd better take a break first, although I think you and Pei Mingxuan should have already become sworn enemies." Yu Tiancheng kindly told Si Kong Zihong who he needed to face now as his competitor, of course with some hope that Si Kong Zihong would withdraw voluntarily. But he also knew it was completely impossible, otherwise even he would look down on Si Kong Zihong.

  The determination to stick to it until the end, but in the end, he left for that reason. Give him a reason to look up to Si Kong Zi Hong!

  "It doesn't matter, it's just about who she likes. As long as I can be by Qingmo Wan's side, what's the point of worrying about these things? Even if we're rivals, I only want to be Qingmo Wan's lifelong rival." Between two people, there may be competition, but I won't do anything myself.

  A man should have a man's demeanor, and when it comes to emotions, he must be upright and honest. The two words "emotions" cannot tolerate hypocrisy; otherwise, if trust is lost between two people, that would be the most terrifying thing in the world. Moreover, having experienced life, one understands even more clearly that liking someone and getting what you want are two different concepts; what's most important is to protect that person for a lifetime of happiness.

  "Is it really so broad-minded, even when it comes to emotions?" A completely different concept from Pei Mingxuan's, yet unexpectedly likable. "If a man can't be open with the person he likes, who can he be open with?" People in love are based on trust, Si Kong Zihong thinks so.

  Yu Tiancheng felt speechless, so he led Si Kong Zihong to the room next door and then walked out to nod at Wang You who had just arrived. Today's events were still a significant shock, so now he wanted to go take a look at what was happening on Pei Mingxuan's side.

  With such a big commotion below, Yu Tiancheng never thought that Pei Mingxuan would not have any feeling about the things below. It's just that Pei Mingxuan's thoughts have always been deeply hidden, and it's hard to see through him. Anyway, this kind of thing is always between two people, although now it can be considered a matter of three people, but still need to leave it to Yuan Shuhuan himself to decide.

  "I knew you wouldn't be so calm." Although the reason is just because you care too much, but this makes people like you more. Without that calm and collected attitude, you seem more like a person, rather than the god-like figure in other people's eyes.

  Yu Tiancheng grasped Pei Mingxuan's hand and helped him deal with the wound on his hand, but found that no matter what he did, he couldn't stop the bleeding. No wonder Pei Mingxuan, who had already recovered a lot, was now pale again; perhaps only Yuan Shuhuan could resolve this situation. Yu Tiancheng looked up at Pei Mingxuan with concern, and didn't want to find Yuan Shuhuan after all.

  "Don't go look for her." Pei Mingxuan finally spoke up, his voice somewhat hoarse. He didn't want Yuan Shuhuan to be by his side at this time, because by Yuan Shuhuan's side, there might already be a person named Si Kong Zihong. Would Yuan Shuhuan not have any feelings towards someone who could die for him?

  Although he had mentally prepared himself to some extent, Pei Mingxuan still felt that he couldn't bear it when the reality hit him. He never knew that loving someone could be so painful, and that he wasn't as calm and collected as he thought he was. Despite having learned all these skills, there were still things that were beyond his control, and he had to admit that he too had feelings of inferiority.

  "This is not the time to be reckless, do you want all the hard work Yu Shu Huan has put in on you to go down the drain?" Yu Tian Cheng's tone was stern, and fortunately, Pei Ming Xuan wasn't his patient. If he saw his own patient being so careless with themselves, Yu Tian Cheng thought it was highly likely that he would storm off.

  Pei Mingxuan lowered his head and looked at his palm, really didn't know what his mood was like.

  "Yu Tiancheng, you go out first." Yuan Shuhan brought up the dishes, but saw some people with frightening bloodstains on their hands. Of course, Yu Tiancheng's words also faintly floated into his ears. He immediately put down the tray in his hand and stood in front of Pei Mingxuan.

  "An Mo, do you still have the medicinal liquid that was used to wipe down your master's body earlier? Bring some over, and then go outside and get me a bottle of the strongest liquor. On your way back, ask Aunt Zhou to burn some mugwort ash for me." Yuan Shu Han's voice merged with Yu Tian Cheng's in an eerie tone, their identical sternness making An Mo somewhat unable to react.

  Pei Mingxuan looked at Yuan Shuhuan in front of him, was this also a way for Yuan Shuhuan to show concern for others? When she was with Si Kong Zihong, Yuan Shuhuan showed a kind of authenticity that Pei Mingxuan had never seen before. Although Yuan Shuhuan herself didn't realize it, in her subconscious mind, she didn't have any hostility towards Si Kong Zihong.

  Even if we were once close friends, now you and I are just sworn enemies, and that's a fact that can't be changed.

  Pei Mingxuan used his good hand to pull Yuan Shuhuan down, and before Yuan Shuhuan could react, he pressed Yuan Shuhuan's entire body under his own and kissed Yuan Shuhuan's lips.

  Yu Shu Han felt something was off on her face, and when she looked up, she saw the tear stains on Pei Ming Xuan's face. It wasn't until then that she realized the strength men possessed, and how they had been holding back for her sake all along. Even now, as she watched Pei Ming Xuan's frantic state, she couldn't feel even a hint of harm from him towards herself.
