Chapter 56: You can Call Me Yu

“This hairpin has been tampered with?” Even though it was a question, her tone was definite.

While Nan Gongyu was casually touching the hairpin, he said, “This is a tracking mark. The person using this mark can just use a part of his body’s primordial spirit to follow the person. As long as you have this mark—even if you’re miles and miles apart, they can still find you easily. Xi Yue, you’re too careless.”

He Xi’s eyes went dark, and she pressed her lips together without making a sound.

As if he had seen through her suspicion, Nan Gongyu waved his hand to send Qing Long out before he continued, “You seem to not understand what you did.”

What did she do? She just saved someone on the streets; was there a need to blow the matter up and even separate a part of the primordial spirit to follow her? He Xi looked at him in confusion, and she was still in a daze.

There was a flash of a smile in Nan Gongyu’s eyes. Suddenly, he really wanted to extend his hand and squeeze her cheeks. “From what I know—in the entire Mainland Miluo, only eighth-grade physicians can fix cut meridians. Eighth-grade physicians need to have at least the cultivation of Nan Gongyu. Many people in Country Jin Ling don’t even know that cut meridians could be treated. This also means that you, a civilian with no spiritual power, have cured what people think to be an incurable disease. Do you think this is still a small matter?”

When He Xi heard this, she was shocked. She did not have much concept about a physician’s grading, but she did know that the Nascent Soul belonged to top experts among the warriors.

“But… you’re still smart. You didn’t use your actual identity.” Nan Gongyu’s fiery gaze swept past her snow-like features. “Do you think the Nalan family will still desert you in the villa when they know of your abilities?”

At that moment, He Xi’s face turned cold. “King of Hades, you must be joking. I have nothing to do with the Nalan Residence; I never did and never will.”

Once she finished her sentence, there was suddenly darkness in front of her eyes. At some point, Nan Gongyu had leaned over and gently inserted the hairpin back.

He Xi only felt a warm breath on her face which made her panic and instinctively move backward.

However, her thin wrist was held tightly by a warm and big hand. Nan Gongyu pulled her closer towards him and revealed an evil, charming smile. His voice had coercion that did not allow any contradiction. “I said that I’m Nan Gongyu. You can call me Yu. Next time, if you still call me King of Hades…”

Before Nan Gongyu could finish speaking, He Xi knitted her brows slightly. He released his hand and pulled He Xi’s sleeves up. Coincidentally, he saw her arm that was filled with bruises and cuts.

Anger he never felt before boiled in his heart, and it mixed with regret and heartache for some reason.

The strange feeling made Nan Gongyu knit his brows. He raised his long fingers and gently caressed the injuries; the hot and ticklish feeling was like a feather tickling one’s heart.

He Xi suddenly pulled her hand back and felt embarrassed. She sneered, “Why are you looking for me?”

As Nan Gongyu suddenly lost the smooth and silky touch beneath his hand, he squinted his eyes. “Can’t I look for you even if there’s nothing?”

There were tons of women in this world who would do anything they could to pounce on Nan Gongyu. How dare this girl show a disgusted and distant expression?

He Xi stood up and smiled coldly, “King of Hades is very busy; a minor role like me shan’t take up your precious time. Since there’s nothing you have to tell me, I’ll leave first.”
