In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 303: Grief and Resolve

How could he not know that Rong Qinglei was already dead?

Rong Qinglei’s pulse had never been this steady before, so steady that it no longer moved at all.

Yue Mingxuan had studied medicine for five years; how could he possibly not understand something so basic?

And yet he could not bring himself to accept it.

He could not convince himself to accept the fact that Rong Qinglei was truly gone.

"Don’t blame yourself too much. I believe Rong Qinglei didn’t save you just so you could end up like this," Shang Qinghua said softly.

Even he did not really know how to comfort Yue Mingxuan.

All he could do was to hold him close and gently rubbing his head as he tried to calm him down.

Shang Qinghua gently rubbed Yue Mingxuan’s head as he spoke. "Rong Zishen will never give up such a good chance to hunt you down. For the time being, you shouldn’t return to the Beirong Imperial Palace."

"I’m not afraid of him!" Yue Mingxuan said it like that, but he understood perfectly well how serious the situation was.

It was not as though he didn’t know Rong Zishen’s methods.

The truth was simply that, right now, he had no way to deal with Rong Zishen.

"Then where can I go during this time?" Yue Mingxuan asked.

"That, I don’t know either." Shang Qinghua shrugged his shoulders. "Why don’t you go stay at my place?"

Yue Mingxuan naturally refused the suggestion.

However, a place suddenly came to mind, Piaoxiang Courtyard.

It was not somewhere that ordinary people could simply enter.

Even if Rong Zishen knew Yue Mingxuan was there, he still would not be able to get inside to find him.

Besides, Yue Mingxuan was now the group leader of the Flying Opera Group.

Staying in the Piaoxiang Courtyard to oversee things was perfectly reasonable.

He might not be able to return to the Beirong Imperial Palace for the time being, but staying within the Flying Opera Group territory was still entirely possible.

"In that case, I’ll stay in Piaoxiang Courtyard for a while," Yue Mingxuan said as he explaining his plan to Shang Qinghua.

Shang Qinghua neither objected nor expressed any particular support. He simply nodded. "I understand."

After all, this young man was now the leader of the Flying Opera Group.

If he stayed in Piaoxiang Courtyard, it would not seem strange at all.

"If you’re going to Flower Valley, I’ll escort you there. But you absolutely must not let this information leak out, especially not to Rong Zishen."

"I understand." Yue Mingxuan nodded.

He wasn’t foolish.

If Rong Zishen discovered where he was staying, that man would certainly come knocking at the door and Yue Mingxuan truly did not have the strength to deal with him yet.

His experience was still insufficient.

He needed to learn much more.

He resolved that the tragedy of this day must never happen again.

"Do as you like. It’s just that once I leave this time, I probably won’t be able to return," Yue Mingxuan said with a bitter smile.

He had always wanted to escape from the Beirong imperial family, but he had never imagined it would happen in this way.

Still, the Flying Opera Group might not be a place where he could remain for long either.

Even if he tried to keep the news sealed tight, he did not believe it was possible for no one to ever find out that he was staying there.

To be honest, Shang Qinghua had also been quite surprised by Rong Qinglei’s death.

Rong Qinglei had controlled the nation’s financial power.

If he had died just like that, Shang Qinghua would inevitably gain another enemy.

Rong Zishen’s influence would likely grow even stronger now.

Shang Qinghua sighed.

Even though events had developed into exactly the outcome he least wanted to see, things still had to continue as they were.

He could not control everything.

But making small adjustments within the limits of what was possible, that much he could still do.

By the time Yue Mingxuan returned to the Piaoxiang Courtyard, the news about Rong Qinglei’s death had already spread throughout the streets and alleys.

No one knew the true cause of Rong Qinglei’s death.

The only rumor circulating was that Prince Yue, who had gone out hunting together with Prince Rui had also been disappeared.

Although Prince Yue had been somewhat ugly and his reputation had never been very good as a Ger he was still considered a delicate prince.

For the time being, no one suspected that Prince Yue could have killed Prince Qing.

"Your Highness, please don’t be so sad. Being sad won’t change anything! You might as well eat something properly, regain your strength, learn martial arts well, and avenge Prince Qing!" Yin Su urged anxiously.

Ever since Yin Su learned that Yue Mingxuan was in the Piaoxiang Courtyard, she had been constantly trying to comfort him. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

But recently, Yue Mingxuan truly had no strength or appetite to eat anything at all.

During the previous battle with Rong Zishen, when Yue Mingxuan had nearly gone mad with fury, he had faintly sensed that the internal energy within his body was slipping beyond his control.

He had struck out almost like a madman and exhausting nearly all the internal energy in his body.

The result of that reckless outburst was that he now seemed to be on the verge of another breakthrough.

Unlike the last time, however, he had no appetite at all this time.

Perhaps it was because of the cultivation technique or perhaps because Rong Qinglei’s death had wounded him far more deeply than he had expected.

Whatever the reason, Yue Mingxuan found that he simply could not bring himself to eat anything.

His already slender frame had grown noticeably thinner.

If Shang Qinghua had not come earlier and firmly insisted that he eat something, Yue Mingxuan would probably not have swallowed a single grain of rice for days.

Everyone around him was deeply worried about his physical condition, yet Yue Mingxuan showed no signs of improving.
