CHAPTER 98: THE WONTON SHOP RESCUE

So it turned out the person was not a man but a girl.

Yue Mingxuan quickly adjusted his thoughts.

The young girl seemed to have lost all patience.

She struck out with her palm at the nearest servant.

The scene instantly became chaotic.

Yue Mingxuan took advantage of the confusion and pulling Sui He with him as they slipped to the back of the crowd.

He settled Sui He inside a small wonton shop and said,"Sui He, wait here for me. I’ll be right back."

"Y-Your... Your Highness, don’t go."

Even though she knew the girl was being attacked because she defended them, Sui He still worried more about Yue Mingxuan’s safety.

Yue Mingxuan grabbed the kettle of boiling water from the shop.

"I’ll be quick."

From the girl’s moves earlier, Yue Mingxuan could tell her skills were only enough for exercise and nothing more.

And since she stood up for them, they couldn’t just escape and leave her behind.

The girl’s situation would be terrible if they abandoned her now.

With the kettle in hand, Yue Mingxuan dashed back.

The girl was being surrounded by four or five servants and she was already losing.

Without saying a word, Yue Mingxuan splashed the entire kettle of boiling water at the servants and then grabbed the girl’s hand and ran with her down the street.

The wind roared past their ears as they ran away.

Yue Mingxuan used every bit of strength he had.

Only when he could not run another step did he stop.

The long sprint consumed nearly all his energy.

He bend over and panting hard, his throat was so dry he could not speak clearly.

The girl looked at Yue Mingxuan carefully.

He had no martial skills at all, yet after escaping, he still came back alone to save her.

She had seen it clearly, the boiling water didn’t spill anywhere else; it hit every servant perfectly.

After Yue Mingxuan caught his breath, he said. "O-okay... I think... they... won’t chase us anymore..."

Hearing that, the girl smiled brightly, showing a row of small white teeth.

"My name is Miaojue. What’s yours?"

Yue Mingxuan straightened up and looked at her.

Even after running for so long, her face was not red and she was not out of breath.

Martial arts really was amazing.

He felt annoyed at himself, he had transmigrated for so long but hadn’t even seen the corner of a martial arts manual.

She could fight four or five grown men, while he could only throw boiling water at people.

Thinking about that made him sulky and even his voice became soft. "My name is Yue Mingxuan."

Miaojue happily grabbed Yue Mingxuan’s hand. "You came back to save me. You’re a good person. My brother and sister-in-law will also be very happy to meet you."

Yue Mingxuan felt embarrassed when he heard this.

It’s clear that this little girl was the one who stood up and saved him and Sui He... Oh no! Sui He! She was still in the wonton shop!

Yue Mingxuan’s face changed instantly.

Damn it, he had forgotten Sui He there alone.

He turned around and ran toward the shop.

Seeing Yue Mingxuan run off, Miaojue quickly followed him. "Brother Mingxuan, where are you going? Wait for me!"

The two of them soon returned to the street.

Everything had gone quiet again.

There was no sign that there had been a fight half an hour earlier.

Yue Mingxuan saw Sui He sitting safely inside the wonton shop and finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"I’m so hungry." Yue Mingxuan grinned shamelessly and sat beside Sui He. He then shouted loudly to the shop owner, "Boss! A bowl of pork wontons, please!"

Seeing Yue Mingxuan acting like this, even if Sui He had been truly angry, she couldn’t bring herself to scold him.

She quietly used the fresh kettle of hot water to steam and clean the bowls and chopsticks for him, then she sat silently at the side without saying anything.

At this moment, Miaojue walked in and said, "Brother Mingxuan, you run so fast, I couldn’t catch up with you."

As she spoke, Miaojue naturally sat down beside Yue Mingxuan and held his arm.

"Brother Mingxuan, can you stay at my house for two days? I always wanted to have a good brother like you, but sadly, I only have that stinky brother at home."

Sui He looked at the handsome young men holding her prince’s arm so closely and felt something was wrong, but she didn’t know how to remind him.

Yue Mingxuan understood what Sui He was thinking. He smiled and softly said to her, "Look at Miaojue’s ears."

Sui He looked as he said and only then discovered Miaojue’s secret.

Thinking about how she had just advised the prince to leave earlier, her face couldn’t help showing some shame.

Soon, the shop owner brought over a bowl of meat wontons.

In the milky-white soup floated green cilantro and the thin wonton skin looked almost see-through.

Just looking at it could make anyone hungry.

Yue Mingxuan was very proud that he had accidentally found such a delicious shop.

This must be what people call the instinct of a true food lover.

Thinking of Sui He and Miaojue sitting beside him, he called loudly, "Boss, bring another bowl of bone soup and another bowl of wontons."

Just then, several men in tight clothes surrounded a man dressed in dark colored robes and walked in.

The moment they entered, they headed straight for Yue Mingxuan’s table.

Yue Mingxuan studied them carefully.

From the way they walked, he could easily tell that these men were trained fighters and many levels above the thugs from earlier.

A bit of caution rose in his heart.

He slowly placed his hand near the wonton bowl, ready to act again if things went bad, though it would be a pity to waste the wontons.

When those men were only a few steps away, Miaojue suddenly stood up.
