When the other bandits saw, they moved up to support their boss. However, Xuan Hongyu was completely unconcerned. He simply swung the whip at the bandits that were rushing over and flung them out with the whip. The bandits that were sent flying smashed into trees and were too injured to get back up. They even vomited huge amounts of blood.

  When the bandits saw that this beauty was this violent, they didn’t dare to rush up anymore and could only watch as their leader was whipped.

  Meanwhile, the bandit leader couldn’t run even though he wanted to. Every time he tried to run, he would be pulled back by the whip.

  Xuan Hongyu simply swung the whip at a steady pace, but every hit he landed caused the bandit leader to scream in pain.

  Ning Shu felt like Xuan Hongyu was just venting his anger on this poor devil.

  The whistle of the whip caused people’s hair to rise on end. The other bandits didn’t dare to approach Xuan Hongyu, so they rushed towards Ning Shu instead in order to try and capture her, but Ning Shu just pulled out her sword and killed all the people that approached her.

  These people lived off of robbing others. Not only did they take people’s money, they also robbed people of their lives.

  Ning Shu’s attacks were very sharp and fatal, so the other bandits didn’t dare to rush up anymore.

  Xuan Hongyu eventually whipped the bandit leader to death. Some places had been whipped so badly that the white bone was showing beneath the mangled flesh.

  After whipping the bandit leader to death, Xuan Hongyu turned to look at the rest of the bandits. Even though he was wearing a black veil, those bandits could feel Xuan Hongyu’s gaze sweeping over them. They felt a chill run down their backs, so all of them immediately turned tail and ran.

  Xuan Hongyu moved to chase after the bandits, clearly intending to wipe them all out. Ning Shu called out, “Master!”


  However, Xuan Hongyu paid no attention to her, so she had no choice but to wait for him to come back. She turned to comfort Xuan Miexiao who was still bawling. She gave him a bit of jerky to grind his teeth on.

  After waiting a good while, Ning Shu was about to fall asleep leaning on the side of the carriage. She hadn’t slept the entire night after all. However, even after waiting a good while, Xuan Hongyu still didn’t come back. She was starting to get the feeling that something was off.

  A thought suddenly occurred to her and she hastily turned the carriage around. Xuan Hongyu had definitely taken advantage of this chance to slip off.

  After driving for a while, she finally saw Xuan Hongyu’s cloaked figure ahead. Xuan Hongyu turned back and glanced at Ning Shu, then quickened his steps. However, there was no way his two feet could compare to a horse’s four hooves.

  “Master, where are you going?” asked Ning Shu lightly.

  Xuan Hongyu said, “This prince thought about it and feels that it’s best to head back to the capital after all. No matter what, the skill of the doctors in the capital should be better than those of the doctors in the countryside.”


  “Haha……” Ning Shu gave a polite laugh. “Master, your body’s covered with sores and it’s even the infectious sy…… Leprosy. You won’t even be able to get past the city gates, so how are you going to find a doctor?”


  He was always insisting on running towards the capital. It was seriously unbelievable.

  “Master, don’t give up on treatment, and don’t drag it on anymore. The longer you drag it on, the harder it will be to cure. Master, don’t be so stubborn.” Ning Shu looked towards Xuan Hongyu.

  Ning Shu patted the carriage. “Master, hurry and get on.”


  Xuan Hongyu stood there without moving and paid no attention to Ning Shu.

  So Ning Shu asked, “Master, do you feel itchy?”


  Xuan Hongyu shifted slightly. His body seemed to start prickling again. In the end, he went to sit back down next to Ning Shu silently while emitting an icy aura.

  Ning Shu glanced at him, then turned the carriage around.

  Ning Shu was a little sleepy due to not having slept the entire night, but she was so alarmed by what Xuan Hongyu did that all her sleepiness had been chased away. In the future, she had to follow Xuan Hongyu without taking a single step away.

  “Master, exactly what important matter did you have for you to be in such a rush to head back to the capital?” asked Ning Shu.

  Xuan Hongyu gave a cold humph, then said, “No matter what, this prince has to go back to take a look at how Shangguan Qingrou’s doing, right?”


  What does how the person’s doing have anything to do with you?

  As of now, Shangguan Qingrou would probably try to drag Xuan Hongyu down in a double suicide the moment she saw him.
