Gu Jinyuan was also shocked by Ye Jiushang’s appearance. He did not know much about this mysterious Ninth Imperial Uncle, who always came and went without a trace. He went on full alert.

One had to be wary of a person who could treat the inner hall of the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company as his backyard. If Ye Jiushang had not revealed himself, he would not have noticed him at all. It was obvious that his strength was way above his.

If the Nanling Empire had such a powerful Ninth Imperial Uncle, it would have long become a magnificent country in the Tongxuan Continent. But it was the lowest-ranking country on the continent. It could be destroyed by the surrounding great countries at any time.

Unless this Ninth Imperial Uncle did not care about the survival of the Nanling Empire at all.

Based on what he knew, Ye Jiushang was not really a part of the Nanling royal family. However, when the Grand Imperial Sire of the Nanling Empire brought him back, he announced his identity to the public and became the Prince. Hence, Ye Jiushang became the Ninth Prince and Ninth Imperial Uncle of the Nanling Empire.

As for Ye Jiushang’s true identity, not to mention the Nanling Imperial Family, even the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company had no idea.

In short, this person was mysterious.

With Ye Jiushang’s help, Xue Fanxin’s acupuncture work became much easier. After fifteen minutes, she completed her task and put away the needles. Then, she turned back to look at Ye Jiushang and said tiredly, “Thank you!”

“You are my future consort. Helping you is what I should do. There’s no need to thank me.” Ye Jiushang deliberately announced Xue Fanxin’s identity in front of Gu Jinyuan, letting him know that she was the woman he had his eyes on.

Xue Fanxin could no longer be bothered with Ye Jiushang, so she did not offer a retort.

Her lack of response made Gu Jinyuan assume that she had tacitly agreed. He felt a little lonely, but he still tried his best to hide the sadness in his heart. With a smile, he said, “Thank you for saving me. I can’t thank you enough.”

“There’s no need to thank her. I’ll return the favor that my future consort owes you. As for the Xue family army, I’ll also thank you on her behalf.” Ye Jiushang’s tone was domineering, his words emphasizing that Xue Fanxin was his future consort. He wanted to declare his sovereignty first.

As Gu Jinyuan listened to Ye Jiushang mention his future consort left and his future consort right, he felt even more depressed. However, he still forced a smile and said, “About the Xue family army, it was originally a deal between Miss Xue and me. It was a win-win, so there’s no need to thank us. However, I don’t understand why Miss Xue is your future consort.”

“If I say she is, she is.”

“This…” Gu Jinyuan looked at Xue Fanxin, hoping to hear her deny it. However, after waiting for a long time, Xue Fanxin did not explain at all.

Even if Xue Fanxin wanted to explain, Ye Jiushang would not give her a chance to. Furthermore, she had long been used to him calling her his future consort. Therefore, she was numb and could not be bothered to open her mouth.

Ye Jiushang saw through Gu Jinyuan’s thoughts and said straightforwardly, “She’s already taken.”

In other words, Xue Fanxin had a man. He’d best not have any designs on her.

Gu Jinyuan was a smart person and naturally understood what Ye Jiushang meant. He suppressed the sadness in his heart.

His heart had just been moved. Was it going to be killed immediately?

“Alright, according to the prescription, take these new medicines for a month and then rest for a period of time. Your injuries will recover soon.” Xue Fanxin wrote the medicine and handed the paper to Gu Jinyuan. In her opinion, there was only trade and cooperation between her and Gu Jinyuan, no other feelings. After finishing her task, she left.

This made Gu Jinyuan even more depressed.

If Ye Jiushang had not suddenly appeared, he would have definitely invited the beauty to dinner today.
