Chapter 1687: Chapter 1866: The Duan Family
“Bao’er?!” The King of Longshi Country exclaimed in shock, hurriedly supporting Prince Fengbao while glancing at Bei Yun. “Divine doctor, please show mercy!”
Bei Yun’s face remained smiling as ever. “Your Majesty, I’ve told you, Qiao Xiaomai’s value isn’t in satisfying the prince’s carnal desires but in the Floral Dew itself. Such shortsightedness—and to not even control one’s own desires—how does one accomplish great things?”
His words were completely ruthless. The King of Longshi Country nodded repeatedly. “The divine doctor is right, absolutely right. Then… Bao’er’s arm…”
“It’s fine—it’ll be swollen for just an hour and then heal naturally without leaving any aftereffects. Your Majesty needn’t worry. If there’s no other matter, Your Majesty, please escort the prince back to rest. I’ll take Miss Qiao back to the Duan family.”
With these words, Bei Yun directly reached out, grabbed Qiao Xiaomai by the shoulder, and employed his lightness skill to head toward Duan’s household.
The Duan residence wasn’t far from here, eliminating the need to travel by horse carriage.
Qiao Xiaomai’s body was suddenly lifted into the air, startling her. She trembled with her hands, her brain desperately controlling herself not to cling to Bei Yun. Resigned, she shut her eyes, letting Bei Yun carry her by the shoulders as they glided through the skies.
It was already good enough—this situation was truly already good enough.
For the sake of the Floral Dew, Bei Yun directly poisoned Prince Fengbao. This development was entirely beyond her expectations.
Though she found herself in Longshi Country, with Bei Yun glaring over Prince Fengbao, her personal safety was assured.
She dared not hope for anything more.
Her mind wandered chaotically as they soon arrived at the Duan household. Outside, the Tianlong Gang’s experts were patrolling. As soon as Bei Yun and she appeared, the guards swarmed toward them. However, upon recognizing Bei Yun, someone immediately sprinted off to notify Duan Tian.
Duan Tian soon came out to greet them, his expression excited.
The Duan family was like a stray dog now. The only reason they could remain unscathed in Longshi Country was exclusively due to Bei Yun’s influence.
Bei Yun alone was worth a thousand armies. Now that Bei Yun had returned safe and sound after over a year and even brought back Qiao Xiaomai, Duan Tian’s heart brimmed with joy—boundless joy!
Bei Yun, upon seeing Duan Tian, felt quite pleased as well. After all his forty-odd years of life, the person he had spent the longest time with was Duan Tian. Upon reuniting with a familiar face, he cheerfully led Qiao Xiaomai toward the Duan mansion.
The Duan residence was sprawling; its exterior resembled a fortress, and guards armed with swords patrolled everywhere. As Qiao Xiaomai walked through, her thoughts grew increasingly bleak. With her skills, there was no chance of escaping even a hundred meters without being caught.
Not knowing lightness skill was sure to be the death of her!
Upon arriving at the main hall for entertaining guests, Duan Tian immediately called for tea and refreshments, then instructed his staff to prepare dinner.
“Divine doctor Bei, didn’t you say you’d return the day after tomorrow? Why are you back today instead?” Duan Tian inquired, his face radiant.
“Day after tomorrow?” Bei Yun raised an eyebrow. “Is that what the king and Prince Fengbao told you?”
“Yes,” Duan Tian nodded.
Bei Yun clicked his tongue. “I clearly said I’d arrive today. It seems the father and son duo hoped to sow discord between me and the family head.”
Throughout this journey, he had relied on the resources of Longshi Country without using the Duan family’s strength. Unexpectedly, Fengbao and his father had stooped to lying.
But Prince Fengbao couldn’t even control his own desires. There was no way Bei Yun would collaborate with someone like that; he was bound to meet his doom sooner or later.
Duan Tian, upon understanding the matter, immediately turned grim-faced. Bei Yun offered him a few comforting words before shifting the topic to Qiao Xiaomai.
“Miss Qiao, after dinner, I’ll take you to the courtyard where you’ll be staying. I hope you’ll find it to your liking,” Duan Tian said gently.
