Doted By The Regent King

Chapter 452: 452

With Su Luo and others joining the battlefield, the pressure on the young man immediately lessened, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Lifting his eyes, he saw Uncle Qian stabbed in the thigh, his form faltering.

"Uncle Qian." Watching Uncle Qian engaged in battle being entangled by Wufu, the young man hurried over and dragged him to a safe area.

"Young master." Uncle Qian tore off a piece of his clothing, bound the wound, and smiled, "This servant is alright." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The young man’s eyes reddened. He looked at the bodies of his two personal guards not far away, turned his gaze away, and his lips pressed into a straight, rigid line.

As the fight was coming to an end, Uncle Qian saw Wufu about to finish off one of the dead soldiers and hurriedly shouted, "Miss, leave a survivor."

Wufu’s hand paused. Before she could dislocate the man’s jaw, a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, causing her great shock, "It wasn’t my doing, okay!"

A trace of regret flashed in Uncle Qian’s eyes.

"Uncle Qian, there’s no need to leave a survivor. We already know who it is," the young man said through gritted teeth.

Uncle Qian looked at the young man with a hint of pity in his eyes.

In an instant, the dilapidated temple quieted down. Aside from the smell of blood creeping into the nostrils, there were only corpses scattered everywhere upon looking.

"Any injuries?" Ah Jiu walked up to Wufu.

Wufu glanced at the tear in the sleeve on her arm and shook her head, "It’s nothing serious."

"Hongyu." Ah Jiu called out loudly.

Hongyu crawled out from under the low table, trembling, her eyes filled with terror at the sight of the dead bodies all around.

"Assist your miss in applying the medicine." Ah Jiu took the golden sore medicine from Yuan Ye and handed it to Hongyu.

"It’s a trivial matter..." Wufu wanted to say it wasn’t necessary, but under his gaze, she complied.

Hongyu shakily followed Wufu to one side and applied the medicine to her.

Ah Jiu, watching this, shook his head. This little girl was too incompetent.

Over where the young man and Uncle Qian were, Su Luo and the others had already sent over the medicine. Su Luo, along with the guards, searched the bodies of the men in black, naturally finding nothing, so they dragged them all outside.

As for how to deal with the bodies, that was for the master and servant to arrange.

After Uncle Qian and the young man had applied the medicine and regulated their breaths, they supported each other and came before Ah Jiu and the others, bowing and giving thanks, "Thank you, young master, for lending a hand."

The young man was rather unwilling, his gaze towards Wufu unfriendly.

Wufu said cheerfully, "No need for thanks, it was a transaction."

Uncle Qian was taken aback.

The young man clenched his teeth and said, "Uncle Qian, they’re asking for twenty thousand taels of silver as commission."

At the time, thinking there was no choice, but now, looking at it, twenty thousand taels. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was extortion!

This girl is really cold-hearted and short-sighted. There’s a saying, ’when you see injustice on the road, draw your sword to help,’ doesn’t she know that?

Uncle Qian, however, laughed, "That is only fair."

It’s normal psychology to not concern oneself when it’s someone else’s problem. If it were them, they probably wouldn’t have stepped in so easily either, after all, the situation was unknown.

Now that Wufu and the others are treating this as a transaction with silver, it’s actually better. What is silver, after all? Transient as clouds, far better than owing favors.

And for families like theirs, are they ever short of silver? The young master’s life is worth far more than twenty thousand taels.

"If they had acted sooner, Qian Hu and the others wouldn’t have..." The young master’s eyes reddened, hinting at the guards lost.

"Young master." Uncle Qian reprimanded sharply before looking towards Wufu and the others, bowing, "My young master is still young and naive. I hope the lady and young master will not take offense."

With that, he pulled out a token from his breast and passed it over, "We don’t have cash on us. With this token, the lady can withdraw the payment from any Huitong Money Exchange."

Wufu’s eyes lit up as she accepted it, now they were in business!
