Volume 1: The Ghost Doctor's Hidden Edge 046 His foot cramped up and he couldn't control it.

  "This is indeed not ginseng." The emperor said warmly beside him, his black pupils falling on his face: "It's just an ordinary white radish."

  Even Emperor Yu said so, Duan Wuji immediately cursed out loud: "Damn it! Dare to cheat me! If I catch him, I must flay his skin!" He took a few steps and was about to chase after him, but then he seemed to think of something and hurriedly ran back in front of Tang Xin.

  "Hey, Tong Xin, I'll go catch that scammer who cheated me first. Next time, I'll bring some ginseng to help you recover your body. I'm leaving now."

  Watching him hurry away, Tang Zihao chuckled and said: "Sister, this kid seems to have really changed his ways. Since he heard your words last time, he hasn't been causing any more trouble recently. It looks like your words had quite an impact on him."

  Tang Xin smiled and withdrew her gaze, saying: "Let's go!"

  "Why don't we go to Lion Building to have dinner instead!"

  "Is young master hungry again?" Behind him, Xia Xue smiled lightly, her gentle gaze falling on Tang Zihao in front of her.

  "Too many things have happened in these days, I haven't been to the Lion Building for several days, thinking of the wine and dishes at the Lion Building makes me hungry."

  Upon hearing this, Emperor Xian's warm smile said: "Since that's the case, let's go to Lion's Building then!" But just as he finished speaking, a voice came from behind him.

  "Master, sir is calling you back."

  "What's wrong? Did my father say something?" Tang Zihao stopped in his tracks and let go of Tang Xin, his narrow eyes falling on the guard.

  "No."

  "Chubby brother, maybe Dad has something to ask you, go ahead! I'll bring some food for you when you come back." Tang Xin said with a smile, looking at him pouting.

  "Alright! Remember to bring some food back for me." Then, turning to Xia Xue and Xia Yu behind her, "Xia Xue, Xia Yu, I'm counting on you two to keep an eye on things and take care of my sister."

  "Understood, young master." The two of them chuckled and watched as he followed the guards back.

  The emperor's lips curled slightly, and his warm, black eyes smiled as he said, "Your brother is very fond of you, and it seems that letting me take you out makes him quite uneasy."

  "That's just how he is, let's go!" She withdrew her gaze and walked forward with a smile.

  Lion Building elegant room

  "Goodness! It seems that Shang Mo is really serious about Tang Xin, he actually goes to the Prime Minister's mansion to see her as soon as he has some free time. I really don't know what he's thinking, with so many beautiful and talented women around, he chooses one who can't even cultivate." Liu Shaobai said to himself while drinking wine, not even looking at the two people sitting next to him.

  "As I said, he's wasting his thoughts and misplacing his emotions. Although Tang Xin has a stunning appearance, not being able to cultivate this point doesn't necessarily mean she can't enter the Mo family. Think about it, what kind of existence is the number one sect? Would Mo Ye's parents allow an ordinary woman without martial arts talent to enter their imperial household?"

  He took a bite of the dish, poured himself another glass of wine and continued: "If he really cares about Tang Xin, I'm sure it will be even more heartbreaking later on. Tsk, tsk, anyway, I don't think their relationship will work out."

  "I say, you two, since you've come, why don't you accompany me in conversation? It's always just me talking and you listening, what's the point of that?"

  The two of them simultaneously looked up at him and also picked up their wine cups to take a light sip.

  Looking at Su Ruo Water, who was wearing a white dress and had an absolutely beautiful face, Liu Shao Bai put down the wine cup in his hand, raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Ruo Water, isn't the Su family planning to form an alliance with the Emperor's family through marriage? In the entire Su family, only you are worthy of Xiang Mo. If you really have a crush on him, you must try your best to win him over, or else you will regret it for the rest of your life."

  Su Ruo Water sipped her wine, listening to his words, her eyelashes trembling slightly. In the half-lowered eyes, a complex light flashed, and she slowly put down the cup, her gaze falling on Liu Shao Bai's body: "With his identity and status, Tang Xin is indeed not worthy of him." As soon as her voice fell, she slowly lowered her eyes again, and a hint of dimness flashed across her expression: "However, his gaze has never stayed on me."

  Su Zhen Nan heard this, his hand holding the wine cup paused slightly, a hint of dim light flashed across his eyes, as if he was deep in thought. He put down the wine cup and glanced at Su Ruo Shui, saying: "Do you think you can't compare to someone who can't cultivate?"

  "Of course not!"

  Without thinking, she opened her mouth and saw that both of them were looking at her. She took a deep breath and said hesitantly: "It's just that I'm a girl, and if I take the initiative, I always feel...". She was a girl who hoped to be pursued by the boy rather than pursuing him herself. She wanted to maintain her femininity and pride, but at the same time, she feared missing out on him, as Liu Shaobai had said.

  "Our family, if we can form an alliance with the number one Zhuang in the world, it will be of great help to our family's future development. Zan Meng himself is not a mediocre person, with his talent and cultivation, his parents would never allow him to marry Tang Xin." Su Zhen Nan glanced at her, implying that she should grasp this opportunity well.

  At her words, she looked at him and slowly lowered her eyelids. At this moment, the sound from outside made the three people in the room look up simultaneously.

  "His Excellency, Miss Tang, this way please." The waiter, with a smile all over his face, led the way in front of them and guided them to a private room.

  When they saw Emperor Shang's blue brocade clothes and Tang Xin's green dress walking by outside, Liu Shaobai raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly as he glanced at the two people beside him. Su Zhen Nan and Su Ruo Shui saw them and their eyes flashed with surprise, wondering whether to call out to them when the commotion outside made them stand up in astonishment.

  "Oh! Such a beautiful beauty, more beautiful than the flower queen of Wan Hua Lou. Come on, come on, give me a kiss." Three men in brocade clothes stumbled out of the room, drunk and staggering, and happened to bump into Tang Xin and others. As soon as they saw Tang Xin's beauty, their eyes were fixed on her, and they immediately opened their arms and rushed towards her.

  Su Zhen Nan furrowed his brow and glanced at the three drunk men, pursing his lips but saying nothing. Su Ruo Shui's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of disdain and contempt, what was the use of being beautiful if one had no power? They were actually compared to the women of Wan Hua Lou by those few people.

  Behind her, Xia Xue and Xia Yu stood with their heads bowed, knowing that without Miss's order, they didn't need to take action.

  Standing beside Tang Xin, Emperor Mo's face slightly darkened due to the words of a few people. He was just about to speak when Tang Xin's actions left him stunned on the spot.

  She smiled brightly at the three men as they rushed forward, and just as they were about to reach her, she kicked out with one foot without saying a word. This seemingly weak kick surprisingly sent all three men tumbling to the ground, where they lay groaning. His eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but stare, turning his head slightly to gaze at her lovely profile, which was still smiling.

  "I'm so sorry, I suddenly got a cramp in my leg and couldn't control it." She said with an innocent face, her clear eyes filled with apology as she looked at the three people on the ground with red faces.
