Chapter 521: Ouyang Ningnuo's thoughts

Han Yunxi carefully surveyed Long Feiye, then studied Gu Qishao from head to toe. The former was dressed in black robes and looked handsome and mysterious, while the latter was clothed in a giant black cloak as he stood straight and proud. Both of them looked alright, so she was secretly delighted. The duel probably ended as expected, with Long Feiye beating Gu Qishao but then letting him off for my sake.

Long Feiye still had personality to do such a thing. Moreover, Gu Qishao's martial arts skills couldn't compare to his opponent or even Jun Yixie. Even if he used poison, his speed would be limited by Long Feiye's superior stats and eye. With this in mind, Han Yunxi still provoked her husband and asked, "Long Feiye, did you win?"

Long Feiye pretended not to hear her and sat down expressionlessly by her side to steep tea. Han Yunxi scooted closer to him and asked again, "Who won?"

Long Feiye still wouldn't say, so Han Yunxi placed her hand over his teacup and said, "I'm asking you, you know?"

Gu Qishao was surprised by the sight. When did that lass get so bold? She used to act like a little concubine in front of Long Feiye.

Instead of getting angry at being kept from his tea, Long Feiye simply took Han Yunxi's half-finished tea and drank that instead. He still refused to answer her question. Technically speaking, the duel between him and Gu Qishao last night yielded neither a winner nor a loser. How was he to explain anything to Han Yunxi when he and his opponent hadn't agreed on a story yet?

While Long Feiye was still hesitating, Gu Qishao generously spoke up. "He won!"

Han Yunxi wasn't surprised, but Long Feiye arched a questioning brow towards Gu Qishao.

"He remembered that I saved your life, so he mercifully spared mine." Gu Qishao's heart didn't feel any pain in owing up to his 'loss,' but his chest wounds certainly ached! He dearly wanted to say that the battle had been a tie, and that it would've stayed a tie even if Long Feiye hadn't spared him. How could being tied up by his whip count as a 'loss?' It wasn't even life-threatening! He wouldn't have stayed bound for long.

Still, there were some secrets a man had to keep for a lifetime.

Gu Qishao carelessly took a seat and stuck up his legs. Despite 'losing,' his rampant attitude hadn't changed at all. Long Feiye stayed silent, but he did pour him a cup of tea and push it over. Gu Qishao generously accepted the offering. "Thanks!"

"You're welcome," Long Feiye intoned.

Han Yunxi felt the rock weighing on her heart disappeared at the sight. Whatever the case, at least...at least she hadn't lost Gu Qishao as a friend! Only by working together could they face their enemies! She quickly said, "Let's talk about how to save Mu Linger, how about it?"

Each additional day Mu Linger was in Medicine City was an extra day of torment. Moreover, Mu Yingdong was a shrewd man as well. He had to have his reasons for letting Head Elder Xie take his daughter away.

"Would Xie Deyi and Mu Yingdong have no choice but to yield once we've taken over Medical City? It'll be simple to deal with Mu Linger then," Gu Qishao said craftily. He was both goading Long Feiye into action while taunting him at the same time. He couldn't counter Medical City on his own without a poisons woman at his disposal.

Long Feiye only replied, "Will you go?"

"You've already beaten this young master, it's naturally you who should go," Gu Qishao was very modest.

"What does your Pill Fiend Pharmacy's affairs have to do with this lordship?" Long Feiye countered.

"Long Feiye, you just said it yourself! Don't you dare meddle in these affairs!" Gu Qishao cried gleefully. He was quite content to join hands with Poison lass on these matters.
