Chapter 971: Long Feiye and Gu Qishao argue (2/2)

Only then did Gu Qishao realize they wanted him for that, so he told them all about his story. Han Yunxi listened carefully, but Long Feiye wasn’t interested at all. In fact, he wasn’t even listening.

“If not for Golden Wing Hall, we wouldn’t have gotten control of Myriad Merchant Hall,” Han Yunxi was telling the truth.

Gu Qishao grinned. “If you like it, I’ll give it to you!”

Han Yunxi rolled her eyes at him. She didn’t even know what to say, but Long Feiye managed to make things difficult for Gu Qishao instead. “When are you going to clear your debts with Kangan Private Bank?”

Gu Qishao had been busying himself all year, so he hadn’t looked after Golden Wing Hall’s medicine business. Thus, profits weren’t as huge as before. Moreover, ever since Three-Way Black Market’s casinos went kaput, Golden Wing Hall had suffered the most losses. Although they hadn’t reached the negatives, their capital had decreased. Naturally, that affected auction sales too. Auction dealers needed to buy a supply of goods, which cost massive money! Before Gu Qishao returned to Three-Way Black Market, Golden Wing Hall had borrowed some money from Kangan Private Bank as turnover, but had yet to return it.

Gu Qishao didn’t answer Long Feiye. Clearly, he was pretending not to hear the question. But he also had the foresight to shut his mouth and stop spewing nonsense. Long Feiye was more or less his unlucky star. Han Yunxi secretly chuckled to herself. Gu Qishao might end up tripping on his own words one day. If he could speak decently, then she and Long Feiye should be thanking him for Golden Wing Hall’s contributions.

Gu Qishao hung his head with a gloomy look as he walked to the side. Long Feiye shot a look at Xu Donglin, who immediately scurried over. “Princess, this subordinate would like to ask for guidance on something.”

“What is it?” Han Yunxi asked.

“This subordinate heard that there’s a type of poison that make one’s limbs tremble. Does it really exist?” Xu Donglin asked modestly.

When it came to professional inquiries, Han Yunxi was all about business. She carefully began to explain, “There is such a poison, but its types are limited. It’s generally divided into four types. The first is…”

As Han Yunxi began to disseminate details with Xu Donglin, Long Feiye had soundlessly appeared by Gu Qishao’s side. Lowering his voice, he asked, “You dare to go back on your words with this crown prince?”

Gu Qishao knew he was wrong, but didn’t regret a bit. He muttered back, “So what if I do if it’s for Poison lass’s sake?”

When he exposed Mute Granny’s fate, it was because he feared that Long Feiye had tricked his Poison lass.

“Bring her up less often!” Long Feiye hissed.

Gu Qishao didn’t quarrel, but grew serious. “Count it as a favor I owe you. I’ll keep helping you break through the Perplexing Butterfly Illusion.”

“Just guard well against Bai Yanqing!” Those were Long Feiye’s true terms.

Gu Qishao glanced at him. “I don’t need you waste words. I’d protect her anyways!”

But Long Feiye’s next words all but made Gu Qishao spit out blood. “Not just her, but this crown prince and Gu Beiyue too. From now on, you and Xu Donglin will both be in charge of protecting us.”

F**k! Long Feiye wants me to be a...bodyguard?!

Gu Qishao halted as he realized he’d been played! What kind of good faith was this? He was simply using a different way to threaten him!

“You’re allowed to refuse,” Long Feiye shrugged.

Gu Qishao wished he could bark and bite him!

Meanwhile, Han Yunxi was still explaining things to Xu Donglin and completely clueless. Gu Beiyue and Baili Mingxiang could only see the two men’s backs from behind and didn’t know what they were talking about. However, it was obvious they were arguing in low tones. Both of them couldn’t help but chuckle to themselves, thinking the same thing. Only His Highness was capable of making Gu Qishao’s hairs stand on end, and only Gu Qishao was capable of making Long Feiye talk more than usual.

Since Gu Qishao didn’t stalk off, Long Feiye took it as an agreement. He lowered his voice and asked, “How did he turn into…”

He didn’t finish, but Gu Qishao knew what he meant. The subject made him twitchy. He didn’t even know how to explain it. After a while, he managed to say, “Long Feiye, I really don’t know whether I’m a Poison Gu human or now. Maybe...maybe I was just a freak from birth.”

Long Feiye’s heart jerked in his chest, but he didn’t express a thing. Instead, he asked coldly, “Just what happened?”

Gu Qishao could only tell him the truth, leaving Long Feiye very surprised. He was about to ask more questions when Han Yunxi finished her conversation with Xu Donglin and turned back…
