Chapter 993: What’s the Harm?

After walking for a very long time, they finally got to a small town, but Ning Shu found that there were arrest posters for Xuan Hongyu at the gate of this town as well. Did Xuan Xiaotian intend to start a nationwide hunt?

It looks like Xuan Xiaotian really was furious this time.

Xuan Hongyu saw the arrest poster, but he didn’t say anything. He didn’t seem to care about it at all.

Just as they were about to head into the city, they were stopped. The town bailiff sternly addressed Xuan Hongyu who was completely wrapped up. “Take your hood off.”

Ning Shu hastily said, “Sir, this is my young master. He caught an illness, so we’ve been traveling around seeking skillful doctors. It’s truly inconvenient for him to take off the hood.”

“He must take it off. Orders have been issued, anyone entering the town must be inspected,” replied the bailiff.

Ning Shu had no choice but to grab Xuan Hongyu’s arm and pull up his sleeve to reveal his sores-covered skin.

When the bailiff saw this, he hastily moved back and covered his mouth as he waved Ning Shu along. “Go in, go in.”

“Thank you, Sir.” Ning Shu whipped the horse to drive it forward. The moment they entered the city, Ning Shu went to visit a medicine shop. The doctor inside the medicine shop took one look and diagnosed it as leprosy.

Xuan Hongyu pressed his lips together without saying anything and put his hood back on. However, there was a bleak aura all around him.

Ning Shu said firmly, “Master, you’ll get better.”

Xuan Hongyu didn’t say anything, so Ning Shu picked up Xuan Miexiao and started strolling through the streets. She bought Xuan Miexiao a tanghulu.

Xuan Hongyu followed behind Ning Shu silently.

Ning Shu handed a stick of tanghulu to Xuan Hongyu, but he just said coldly, “This prince doesn’t eat this kind of thing.”

“Since you’re going to die anyways, what’s the harm in trying it? Oh... Master, this subordinate didn’t mean that.”

Xuan Hongyu’s gaze contained a chill even through the black veil. He accepted the tanghulu, but he didn’t eat it. He just held it in his hand.

“This prince wishes to return to the capital,” said Xuan Hongyu.

Ning Shu paid no attention to him and bought some rouge and face powder at a small vendor’s stand. These were necessary tools for disguising oneself.

Then she headed into a store to buy Xuan Miexiao clothes and shoes, as well as a change of clothes for Xuan Hongyu. Xuan Hongyu had to diligently change clothes. Xuan Hongyu followed behind Ning Shu and repeated, “This prince must return to the capital. Return to the capital.”

“Master, let’s talk about this later. Allow this subordinate to buy things first.” Ning Shu then bought some cereals and salt.

Xuan Hongyu said coldly, “Eleven, you’ve sure grown a lot of guts. You even dare to disobey this prince’s orders! Is it because you feel that this prince has nothing left, so you can now break away from this prince’s control?”

“Master, this subordinate has never thought that way. No matter what this subordinate does, it all in hopes that Master will continue living. Everything is for the sake of Master’s safety. Even if Master wishes to kill this subordinate, this subordinate will still continue to work towards this goal,” said Ning Shu.

After Ning Shu finished buying things, she left the town. As of now, the sun had already set, so they had no choice but to set up camp outside.

“Why aren’t we staying in an inn?” asked Xuan Hongyu coldly.

Ning Shu said, “Master, with your situation, inns won’t accept us.”
