Chapter 989: Must Be a Masochist

In the end, Ning Shu still decided to leave this place. The capital was flipping out. Not only were the guards searching in the city, they were starting to expand the search outwards from the capital to find Xuan Hongyu.

Xuan Xiaotian was clearly determined to capture Xuan Hongyu. Xuan Hongyu had really stabbed him in a sore spot this time.

If they didn’t leave, they’d eventually be caught.

However, one thing that made Ning Shu want to fall apart was the fact that Xuan Hongyu refused to leave. The feeling that the current Xuan Hongyu gave her was that he didn’t care about living or dying, he didn’t seem to care about anything anymore. The look of him made her teeth ache with irritation.

Ning Shu was burning with anxiety. Not even practice college entrance exam questions could calm her down. She watched Xuan Hongyu as he moved about leisurely. Since he refused to leave, she’ll just have to resort to force.

For the sake of her task, she decided to go for it. If it weren’t for this task, she definitely would’ve just continued watching with a smile how Xuan Hongyu courted death.

She touched the medicinal powder tucked in her chest pocket, then smiled coldly.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, Ning Shu was urging a carriage forward on the road. She had already decided on a good destination.

Ning Shu lifted the curtain and glanced inside the carriage at Xuan Hongyu and Xuan Miexiao who were sleeping. He seriously didn’t appreciate it when people took the time to talk things out with him and insisted that people use force.

He must be a masochist.

Ning Shu didn’t sleep for a single moment the entire night and kept driving the carriage forward. She was thinking that it was best to get as far away as possible from the capital.

When daylight broke, Ning Shu stopped to allow the horse to rest for a while. She started making a campfire to cook some breakfast.

“This... Where the hell is this?” Xuan Hongyu had come out from the carriage. As he was getting out, he ended up hitting his head on the roof of the carriage. He staggered, then rubbed his forehead which still felt very dizzy and heavy. He looked around, then questioned Ning Shu, “Eleven, what are you doing?”

“You’re showing disrespect towards your superiors.” Xuan Hongyu looked at Ning Shu coldly. His eyes were narrowed slightly with murderous intent.

“This subordinate was simply taking into consideration your safety, Master. Some people were already starting to search the surroundings of the base. If we didn’t leave, we’d definitely end up captured,” explained Ning Shu. There was only the two of them, but Xuan Xiaotian had an entire army. How the hell could they possibly win in a confrontation?

Xuan Hongyu didn’t care about his life, but Ning Shu had to make sure that Xuan Hongyu lived. If she didn’t complete her task, she would be exterminated.

Fudge, having to protect a person who incessantly courted death was seriously painful.

Xuan Hongyu looked at Ning Shu coldly. He walked over, then said to Ning Shu, “This prince is thirsty. Pour me a cup of water.”

Ning Shu went inside the carriage to get a bowl, then poured some water from the water sack before handing it to Xuan Hongyu. Xuan Hongyu reached out to take the bowl but froze when he noticed his hand. He stared at his hand in shock.

Xuan Hongyu’s fair as jade hand was covered with oval sores that were wet with yellow pus.

Xuan Hongyu was dumbfounded. He turned his hand to inspect it. How did his hand end up like this after just one night? He touched his face and found that these things were also on his face.

“This- what exactly is this?” Xuan Hongyu was both baffled and appalled.

Ning Shu’s face filled with sorrow. She opened her mouth but hesitated. In the end, she finally said, “Master, you’ve contracted leprosy.”

“That’s not possible!” Xuan Hongyu reflectively refuted. “That’s not possible, how could I possibly get leprosy?”

Xuan Hongyu stared at Ning Shu. “What did you do to me?”

“This subordinate didn’t.” Ning Shu hastily shook her head. “This subordinate only added a bit of sleeping powder to your food. This subordinate really doesn’t know how you ended up like this. Master, did you eat anything strange?”

Ning Shu’s face was filled with sincere devotion. “Master, once we get to the next town, let’s find a doctor to take a look.”
