The Full-Leveled Healer Transmigrates to a Real and Fake Rich Daughter Story

155 Possession

But now…

“Of course I don’t need this reward,” Chu You suddenly interrupted, his voice calm.

Baili Yin gave everyone a prize as a condescending reward, but Chu Yi had hunted a tiger, and both of them were princes of the same status. If Baili Yin gave Chu Yi a prize, it would become Chu Yi’s self-demoted status.

Sigh, it was really going easy on the Third Prince of the State of Yue. Lu Shi sighed inwardly and was staring at the gem-studded scabbard on the side of Baili Yin’s waist with some reluctance, when he heard Chu You’s voice.

“Why don’t you… give this treasure sword to Second Miss Gu? What do you think, Third Prince Baili?”

What?! Lu Shi seemed to come back to his senses and stared at Chu You with disbelief.

Under everyone’s puzzled and curious gazes, Chu You slowly added, “For that magical skill…”

A mysterious smile appeared on his lips as his deep gaze swept between Baili Yin and Chu Yi. Of course, he was talking about Gu Yanfei saving the female deer.

Chu You did not explain further. Instead, it aroused the curiosity of Lu Shi and the others. All of them felt like their hearts were being scratched by a cat.

Chu You’s suggestion was exactly what Baili Yin wanted.

“That’s great!” Baili Yin’s eyes lit up and shone as he clapped heavily in agreement.

As he spoke, he seemed to inadvertently glance at Chu Yi from the corner of his eye, and his lips curled up.

Chu Yi’s handsome face held a gentle smile, and his eyes were calm and deep.

Baili Yin raised his hand and snapped his fingers. His follower immediately understood and walked out of the shed with the scimitar. He raised his head and walked towards the shed, where Gu Yanfei and the others were.

This time, even the others outside noticed the commotion.

Everyone’s gazes surged over like a tide, all focused on an middle-aged man from the State of Yue holding the scimitar. They watched as he arrived in front of Gu Yanfei.

“Second Miss Gu.” The middle-aged man held the scimitar towards Gu Yanfei with both hands. His movements looked serious, but there was a hint of disdain in his smile. “This treasured saber was given to you by His Highness as a gift.”

These words resounded clearly throughout the venue.

When the others heard this, their gazes immediately became very strange. They sized up Gu Yanfei and went to check on the prey beside her.

Seeing that the hunting basket beside her was empty, everyone knew what was going on.

Second Miss Gu probably found nothing in the hunting ground.

Then, what right did she have to become the champion today and obtain this treasured saber?!

For a moment, Gu Yanfei almost became the target of public criticism. All eyes were on her like knives.

Although there were definitely people who were dissatisfied, no one dared to go forward and question Gu Yanfei.

After some word of mouth, at least 70 to 80% of the people present knew about the conflict between Gu Yanfei and Yu Chaoyun.

Second Miss Gu of the Dingyuan Marquis Household had a fierce personality!

There was silence, and the people who had been joking fell silent in unison.

Those noble descendants did not care about the saber at all. The noble family had obtained the title of nobility through a battle with Emperor Taizu. Not to mention anything else, they did not lack treasured sabers. Today, Gu Yanfei had taught those daughters of noble families a lesson and earned face for the nobles, so she deserved 10 treasured sabers.

Most of the children of the family of generals were carefree, but there were also meticulous people present.

The State of Yue person had said “gift”, not “reward”!

“Chaoyun,” a girl in pink whispered in Yu Chaoyun’s ear. “The Baili family of the State of Yue royal family is from the Baitong clan. The Baitong clan has a tradition that men giving women a treasured saber is to take possession of her.”

“Before their Baitong Clan was established in the State of Yue, they were already a Nanman tribe. In the past, they would always carry knives and directly snatch women before leaving… They’re very barbaric.”

She knew this because her great-grandmother was from the Xu family in Jiangnan. 60 years ago, because of the war, the Xu family moved to Jiangbei.

Yu Chaoyun pursed her lower lip thoughtfully and wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.

“Sigh.” The girl in pink sighed softly and said with a faint smile, “Who asked her to be so ostentatious!”

If not for Gu Yanfei’s ostentatiousness, she would not have provoked someone she should not have!

Yu Chaoyun played with her handkerchief distractedly, still looking ahead.

Under everyone’s gaze, Gu Yanfei leisurely played with the colorful quill in her hand and did not take the scimitar.

The middle-aged man looked deeply at Gu Yanfei and handed the scimitar an inch in her direction. He raised his voice with a smile. “This is a token of His Highness’s appreciation.”

As soon as he said that, even others who did not understand the traditions of the State of Yue understood the different meaning, and there was a subtle tension in the atmosphere.

Chu You’s thin lips curled up slightly. He held the wine glass in his right hand, but he was paying attention to Chu Yi’s every move from the corner of his eye.

Seeing him raise his right hand, Chu You said, “Nephew, it’s also a good story to give such a rare Persian scimitar to Second Miss Gu.”

Chu You did not hide the provocation in his eyes.

Chu Yi’s expression was still calm as he looked at Gu Yanfei without blinking. His eyes were slightly rippling and as gentle as the spring breeze.

He chuckled and said,

“There’s no hurry.”

“There’s no hurry!”

Chu You was confused for a moment. He did not know who had said those two words.

“There are still four hours until sunset. It’s still unknown who will get this ‘splendid item’.” Gu Yanfei’s clear voice was especially clear in this quiet environment, and it was sent into everyone’s ears by the wind.

“…” Baili Yin raised his sharp eyebrows, but his smile deepened and his eyes curved into a frivolous arc.

The women he knew, whether they were from the palace or outside, liked to be the center of attention and would definitely not refuse to be the envy of others.

This little beauty always did things unexpectedly.

Baili Yin smiled again and did not look angry at all at being rejected in public. Instead, his eyes burned even more as he asked with a faint smile, “Does Second Miss Gu look down on it?”
