In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 316: A New Beginning

He knew this operation had failed, yet he had no way to remedy it.

"Thank you for saving me," Yue Mingxuan finally said, beginning to truly face Shang Qinghua. "If it weren’t for you this time, I would have died at his hands."

"As long as you don’t treat my goodwill like dirt, I’d already be more than satisfied," Shang Qinghua said, his tone carrying a hint of bitterness.

Yue Mingxuan stuck out his tongue playfully. "Where are you planning to take me?"

"I was just about to ask you that."

"I can’t stay in Beirong any longer. Even if the Emperor isn’t hunting me now, I still can’t calm myself. Every time I think about Rong Qinglei’s death, I can’t forgive myself," Yue Mingxuan sighed. "So right now... I don’t even know where to go."

"Why not come back to Xieshang with me?" Shang Qinghua blurted out without hesitation.

He truly hoped Yue Mingxuan would go with him.

That way, it would be much easier for him to look after him.

"That actually sounds like a good idea." After all, he was already "dead," so he could go anywhere under any identity. Thinking of this, he added, "Turn around first."

"What for?" Shang Qinghua didn’t understand what Yue Mingxuan had in mind, but since he said so, he complied.

When Yue Mingxuan told him he could turn back around, Shang Qinghua was stunned.

Since Yue Mingxuan had already decided to leave Beirong, there was no need for him to remain in the royal circle and if he no longer had to stay in that suffocating place, there was no reason to continue presenting himself with that deliberately unattractive appearance.

Having been born with such stunning looks, he didn’t want to keep hiding them.

Moreover, he had to admit that he did feel a certain fondness for Shang Qinghua now.

Letting him see his true appearance didn’t seem like a problem.

When Shang Qinghua saw Yue Mingxuan’s face, he was genuinely shocked.

He had always thought Yue Mingxuan’s deliberately messy appearance was meant to cover up flaws, but he had never imagined that Yue Mingxuan was actually this beautiful.

"With such a face, why would you hide it?" Shang Qinghua asked.

Even as he spoke, he already had some idea of the answer.

"I don’t want to be a flower kept in a greenhouse in Beirong," Yue Mingxuan shook his head.

The Beirong royal family might be a place many people longed to enter, but he did not like it there.

In the end, Beirong was not a place suited for him.

He wanted freedom... To see more of the world beyond.

Inside the palace, everyone lived in constant fear.

He did not want to waste his entire life in such a place.

Although he didn’t quite understand what a "greenhouse" was, Shang Qinghua could vaguely grasp Yue Mingxuan’s meaning.

"I’ll take you to Xieshang, but not to the palace. You can move about freely there. If you run into trouble, tell Moonless Cicada, he’ll find me."

Yue Mingxuan nodded.

Having someone to rely on was always better than having no one at all.

But thinking about it, he realized he now owed Shang Qinghua even more.

He wondered how Shang Qinghua would eventually make him repay all of it.

With that thought, Yue Mingxuan made a silent decision: unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not trouble Shang Qinghua.

"Xieshang really does seem like a good place," Yue Mingxuan said with a smile.

Though he had resolved not to rely on Shang Qinghua too much, he still found himself looking forward to the journey.

After many days of travel, Shang Qinghua finally brought Yue Mingxuan to Xieshang.

As expected, Rong Zishen had not spread the news that Yue Mingxuan was still alive.

And even if he had, Yue Mingxuan would still be safe in Xieshang.

Compared to Beirong, Xieshang lacked some of the same prosperity.

However, its people were much more simple and sincere.

After wandering around for a while, Yue Mingxuan came to this conclusion.

"I remember Silver Needle Sect should be around here. If I have nowhere else to go in the future, I can always go there and find Gongsun Xing," Yue Mingxuan thought, feeling somewhat reassured.

Gongsun Xing was one of the few close friends Yue Mingxuan could truly confide in.

Moreover, he genuinely loved the art of medicine, so he had always longed for Silver Needle Sect.

However, he had heard that once one entered the sect, it would not be easy to come and go freely, which made him somewhat hesitant.

He did not like complicated rules and restrictions; he preferred a life of freedom.

Still, he had to admit that the senior masters in Silver Needle Sect possessed far deeper medical knowledge.

If he could study their teachings systematically, it would undoubtedly benefit him greatly.

As far as he was concerned, the gates of Silver Needle Sect would always be open to him.

Whenever he wished to go, he could simply do so. After all, his relationship with Gongsun Xing was quite good.

Just then, he heard that Gongsun Xing had returned to Xieshang.

It seemed that Silver Needle Sect had acted swiftly this time since they bringing him back much earlier than expected.

"Since Gongsun Xing is back, I’ll go find him," Yue Mingxuan said aloud as the thought crossed his mind.

Shang Qinghua nodded. "If you’re going to see Gongsun Xing, then I can feel more at ease."

"What do you mean?"

"The situation in Xieshang is also quite unstable. My brothers are not easy to deal with either. If you stay in Silver Needle Sect, you’ll be safer." Shang Qinghua spoke casually, making it hard for Yue Mingxuan to tell whether he was serious.

"However, I think Gongsun Xing’s return this time is going to stir up a huge commotion," Yue Mingxuan suddenly said as he staring blankly at two very familiar figures in the distance.

"And why do you say that?" Shang Qinghua was puzzled.
