Gao Manor
At her parents' study, Gao Lan Mei was sitting in front of Gao Qi, silently listening to him, narrate, or, better yet ranting about Wei Jiayi's help at the time of the accident.
All the words spoken were so stressed, emphasizing the importance or just to get her attention.
He probably noticed how her mind kept drifting off somewhere, instead of hearing and understanding what he was trying to say.
Next to Gao Lan Mei was her mother. The woman was on house arrest last night due to the assassin attack and was not even allowed by her husband to go out and check on her daughter.
Because of this, Madam Gao was also blatantly ignoring the Minister and was just softly stroking her daughter's hand that was bandaged by the medical strip.
"I repeat, he is your benefactor. Without him providing the blood replenishing pill, I hate to think what would have happened to you." Gao Qi sincerely wanted his daughter to treat the prince with more respect, though both women in front of him were not really taking what he was saying to heart.
Whatever their current differences, she must never forget the favor the Gao family owed him.
"I will do my best father." Gao Lan Mei answered at last. No need to talk about it, really. She would just need to avoid the prince to not 'accidentally' disrespect him.
Do not get her wrong, she appreciates the things that the Prince did so far. Being acquainted with him would bring a lot of benefits.
Aside from the fact that most did not know that he owned the Medical Pavilion, which had multiple branches across the whole mortal domain.
Wei Jiayi was also the most powerful being she knew so far in the domain. The man was so easy to blackmail as well, due to his fascination with the bird species like her. Still, he was dangerous and unpredictable.
With a deep sigh, giving up, as he knew he was being ignored most of the time, "Do your very best then." Then remembering something important, "Mei'er! Why did you release the assassins?!" he stood trying to show a more domineering effect. Not knowing why he felt he needed to.
Both women in front of him were surprised by his sudden action, Madam Gao then glanced to Gao Lan Mei after processing what her husband had pointed out, "Is that true?" she asked laced with concern.
It's unbelievable for the madam that her daughter had involved herself with this thing.
With a nod, then offering a reassuring smile, "Yes, but there is a valid reason for it, of course. So, do not be so angry father." Well for her, since the Liqi assassins touched the Ye family, they deserve some form of a thank you gift, right?
Beings from another universe calls it, thank you gift basket. Her gift though could not be placed on the basket as it's a living being.
"Anyways, trust me father, I have everything under control." Her tone so confident that Gao Qi could not refute.
This daughter, from the time she woke after the accident after being healed by the Holy doctor, showed many surprising things. It's not bad, but it's just making him worried.
Even the Zicuìyù Regime seemed to already have acknowledged her presence, by the way, some were trying to get his favor to serve Gao Lan Mei.
He could not blame them anyway if she could make the two protectors' breakthrough using pills that she had also freely given to the enchanted Purple Rose herb, that also confirmed that she probably had more that could help any protector serving under her.
Should he feel jealous or envious that the protectors liked Gao Lan Mei more than him? Of course not. What a very stupid question!
Gao Qi felt like laughing at his own line of thought if the protectors could keep his daughter safe, that's all that matters.
He wanted to know if she had more pills, but before he was able to ask, they felt an enormous presence coming towards their direction.
