Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

 Xi Ma heard what Gao Lan Mei said to Ming Ya. His brows started to sweat. He did not want to deal with another unforeseen event today!

Though it served Ming Ya right for giving the impression that she was someone with a backing without knowing what Gao Lan Mei was capable of.

Before Ming Yi responded, facing Gao Lan Mei, "Miss Gao, I am sorry for the wait, let us discuss the agreement now." Then to the other, "You do not mind Miss Ming, right?" Xi Ma wanted these women to be away from each other soon.

Ming Ya's face turned green after hearing Gao Lan Mei, but before she was able to speak, Xi Ma already approached them.

She immediately smiled charmingly to Xi Ma, "Of course. Till next time Miss Gao." She left the Pavilion with a smile, but she was mad inside. This was the first time someone brushed off the fact that she was from Ming Family!

 'I will remember this! Huh, Miss Gao. Is she related to Minister Gao?'

After thinking about the Gao Family, she immediately rejected the idea. It was impossible for the rogue young miss from that family to act like a young lady.

It is also impossible that she was not aware of her Ming Family. Ming Ya was sure that this Miss Gao was from a different empire.

'Is that Miss Gao here to marry Prince Wei? Hmp! Impossible! He will not be interested with her in the slightest!'

Though she thought this, Ming Ya still felt that her competitors need to be removed.

He is mine!

On the third level of the Medical Pavilion

 Xi Ma knocked twice before coming into the room where his master stayed every time he was in the Medical Pavilion.

The room's temperature was cold. The pressure coming from his master's aura was suffocating. He was not able to approach Wei Jiayi.

His brows and back started to sweat heavily. He tried to stabilize himself using his own cultivation.

Wei Jiayi was stronger than him on many levels, at least by trying to do something he will not pass out.

'This is a very bad time.' At this rate, if he did not leave he would be subjected to a tremendous pressure that might cause him to vomit blood.

"Master Wei, let me go back later. I am sorry for disturbing." He hurriedly said, but before he could open the door to get out, the tremendous pressure vanished.

"No. Report." Wei Jiayi responded through clenched teeth. He was still looking at the empty cage that originally housed a crow.

Xi Ma could see Wei Jiayi's cold expression. Though his face was not showing any emotion, his master was clearly not in the best mood to talk to anyone at that moment.

With a gulp, "We have less than a sack of the remaining walnuts with poison…" Xi Ma started. "We are now testing if they are from the Pavilions farm…"

"Master, the one who represents the mute old beggar is outside to discuss the agreement." He was not sure if it's a good idea to have Gao Lan Mei see Wei Jiayi at this time, but he mentioned anyway.

"I see. Let them in."

Xi Ma let Gao Lan Mei in then handed the agreement to Wei Jiayi.

Gao Lan Mei made herself comfortable and sat on the chair that was in front of Wei Jiayi. She silently observed the man in front of her.

The man scanned through the agreement before suddenly the paper burned slowly until none was left…
