139 A Sweet Reply (1/2)
” Master, one of our client requested for live testing.” Du Weng spoke in a shaky voice as he stood in the dark room.
” Requested?” the man's voice had a dangerous vibe to it. He heard the earlier conversation; nothing could escape his ears. It was not a request, he was sure of that. But, the little doctor is interesting. Even his servants are fearless.
” Erm.. Master..” Du Weng started to panic. No matter how many times he spoke with this venerable deity, he could not help but feel fear seep out from his bones.
” Do according to their wishes..” the man in the dark chuckled lightly.
Du Weng was dazed for a moment before he recovered quickly excusing himself ” Then it will be done accordingly, master.”
” Hmm.. You can leave now.”
Du Weng fled the room as he did not want to be suffocate himself to death by staying in that damn room any longer. His master was way too terrific. But, what made his master accept Doctor Wu's request so easily; even he was doubtful about this scenario. Pushing all his doubts to the back of his mind, Du Weng started to make the necessary arrangements.

In the medicine room,
” Master..”
Xia Lian who was engrossed in concocting her new potion, answered without raising her head ” Hmm.. What did they say?”
” Three days from today, Grand auction is going to take place. They naturally agreed to the live testing.”
Bao Su's answer made Xia Lian smirk evilly.
” Get me paper and brush, Bao Su. I am occupied at the moment.” her blissful voice somehow made Bao Su shudder. He was sure that something or someone is at bad luck today. No matter what grievances his heart suffered, he brought all the items like an obedient cat. After placing them on the table, he started grinding the ink.
” Master, everything is ready..” Xia Lian got up and washed her hands after hearing his faint voice. On seeing that he even prepared the ink, her little heart melted into a puddle.
” Thank you..” she sincerely thanked him, but the other party was naturally confused. So, he scratched his head while looking at her with bewildered expression.
” M-Master, did you thank me?”
” Yes..” she rolled her eyes at this puzzled fool. Who else is there in the room other than them ah?! This guard of hers is getting more and more stupid with each minute.
” Why?”
On hearing the genuine confusion in his voice, Xia Lian laughed out loudly. Her guard is an adorable fool.. He clearly didn't think that he did something that should be thanked for and she didn't bother to explain him either. So, she shook her head ” Nothing..”
Then ignoring the dazed fellow behind her, she dipped the brush in the ink and squinted her brows thinking deeply. She should give that idiotic prince a reply now. But, she was angry at him. Now, she really didn't know if she should scold him or not.
Bao Su's lips twitched with amusement on seeing her thinking hard. The pensive look on her face almost made him laugh out loud. Their Prince is too clever ah! Making this little master think about him all the time is no easy feat. Bao Su was completely impressed by Xuan Li Wei.
Xia Lian tapped the brush against her forehead. No matter what she wrote she knew that she cannot make that flirty prince lose his temper. She suddenly stopped tapping her forehead as a diabolical smile bloomed on her refined jade like face. And that smile of her made Bao Su uneasy.
With renewed vigour, Xia Lian started scribbling on the letter. She directed all her anger on that poor paper; her strong and wild strokes clearly reflected that she used extra strength while writing that letter.
Xia Lian grunted in satisfaction after reading the letter and blowed on it to dry it quickly. She could not wait to send it to that flirty prince.
