Qianxi couldn't understand why. Logically, Muyun wouldn't refuse such a favor. She only heard Muyun say slowly, "I can lend it to you, but if Miss Hua borrows it without paying any price, wouldn't the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle I've painstakingly found be worthless?"

Hearing this, Qianxi helplessly looked at Muyun and said coolly, "Tell me, what do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Muyun chuckled nonchalantly, "Look at my large house and business now, what can you offer me?" At this, Qianxi was taken aback, realizing that what Muyun said was not unreasonable. He had everything he wanted, what could she possibly give him?

Seeing Qianxi remain silent, Muyun smiled again and said with a slight bitterness, "What I want, all along, is just a good body. So, I won't lend the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle!"

"What?" Qianxi was somewhat annoyed upon hearing Muyun wouldn't lend it. She came with good intentions to borrow something, yet he refused. Why was this man so petty? Thinking of this, Qianxi's anger surged, her beautiful eyes fixed sharply on Muyun.

Being gazed at like this made Muyun a bit uneasy. He had heard of Qianxi's infamous domineering nature, so claiming not to be scared by her gaze would be false.

"Are you toying with me?" Qianxi stood up, pointing at Muyun's nose and cursing. Muyun, hearing this, smiled indifferently. He thought to himself, "I'm just messing with you, what can you do?"

"I'll just say it once, are you going to lend it or not?" Qianxi looked angrily at Muyun, issuing an ultimatum. Muyun, hearing this threatening tone, smirked coldly, "Are you threatening me?" He looked at Qianxi coldly.

After a moment of silence, Muyun continued, "I only have one word, no!" Saying this, Muyun stood up, ready to leave. Seeing this, Qianxi's anger couldn't be contained. "Looking to die!" With those words, the Inner Strength within her quietly activated, sending a palm strike to Muyun's back.

Muyun's small frame couldn't withstand the force of Qianxi's palm, instantly being knocked to the ground, with blood slowly trickling from the corner of his mouth. After a moment, Muyun struggled to turn over and looked at Qianxi, his face full of disbelief. He hadn't imagined Qianxi would actually resort to violence.

Pointing at Qianxi, Muyun's voice trembled, "You, you actually dared to hit me?" In response, Qianxi looked coldly at Muyun, saying, "What's the matter? I hate petty men the most." After saying this, she huffed coldly and turned to leave without hesitation.

At this moment, Muyun stared at Qianxi's back, his eyes wide open. He had heard of her unreasonable nature, but didn't expect her to be so irrational. Not lending was his own business, why did she have to injure him? Thinking of this, Muyun coughed twice, suddenly feeling dizzy before passing out.

Returning home, Qianxi thought about her visit to Muyun's residence, and immediately calmed down, realizing she had made a mistake. However, with her background, she believed a simple apology would suffice. Still, it bothered her that Muyun didn't lend her the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle, which made her somewhat angry.

Liu Rui, observing Qianxi's unhappiness upon her return, stepped up to inquire. Hearing this, Qianxi sighed, saying, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle." Saying this, she bit her lip.

"He won't lend it?" Liu Rui asked curiously. Hearing this, Qianxi nodded. Seeing her nod, Liu Rui thought it was nothing serious and said with a smile, "It's no big deal, just take your time."

However, upon hearing this, Qianxi shook her head and said bitterly, "If only it were that simple, I..." She hesitated to continue, leaving Liu Rui puzzled. After a pause, Qianxi slowly said, "I accidentally injured Muyun."

Saying this, Qianxi looked at Liu Rui with some guilt. Seeing her guilty expression, Liu Rui didn't know what to say, so he reached out and patted her head, "It's okay, he won't do anything to you, right?"

Being patted on the head by Liu Rui made Qianxi suddenly feel shy. But hearing Liu Rui's question, she looked at him proudly and said, "Given my background, do you think he dares to do anything to me?" Liu Rui, hearing this, chuckled, "As long as it's fine."

Hearing that Muyun wouldn't dare to act against Qianxi made Liu Rui slightly relieved. "What should we do about the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle?" Qianxi looked at Liu Rui, pouting, unsure of what to do.

In response, Liu Rui pondered for a while, "We should take a long-term view; there's no rush." Saying this, Liu Rui smiled. Hearing this, Qianxi also nodded.

A few days later, Xiao Yifei suddenly found Qianxi, wanting to inquire about the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle. However, he didn't get the needle but learned about Muyun being injured—naturally, Qianxi had told him.

Upon hearing that Muyun was injured by Qianxi, Xiao Yifei felt the Green-eyed Silver-tailed Needle was out of reach. Yet, if he could heal Muyun's injuries, there might still be hope.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei decided to go to Muyun's residence. He shared his thoughts with Qianxi, who nodded in agreement. So, Qianxi accompanied Xiao Yifei to Muyun's residence.

Arriving at Muyun's mansion, Xiao Yifei couldn't help but admire the luxurious decor, comparable to Master Hua's villa. However, this wasn't Xiao Yifei's focus; he was here solely to treat Muyun. After bringing Xiao Yifei there, Qianxi didn't plan to go in, feeling awkward due to her previous action of injuring Muyun.

Xiao Yifei arrived at the door, stated his purpose, and was led inside the villa by the butler. Once inside, Xiao Yifei was even more amazed by the opulence; he was shown to the living room where he slowly took a seat.

The living room wasn't empty; before Xiao Yifei arrived, someone was already seated there. The man was about Xiao Yifei's age but looked vastly different: lean build, somewhat sleazy eyes, sharp-nosed monkey face, unpleasant to look at. The man also noticed Xiao Yifei and, after some scrutiny, asked slowly, "Here to treat Young Master Muyun as well?"

In response, Xiao Yifei chuckled awkwardly and nodded, thinking this man was too rude; the more he looked at him, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Watching the man before him, Xiao Yifei didn't feel like interacting much, but the man kept prattering, "What's your name?" He looked at Xiao Yifei and asked. Xiao Yifei responded with a polite smile, "It's somewhat inappropriate to ask for names without introducing yourself first."

Feeling embarrassed, the man coughed twice before slowly saying, "My name is Xiao Wushuang." Hearing that the man was also surnamed Xiao, Xiao Yifei felt awkward inside, thinking it was an insult to the Xiao name. However, he maintained his manners externally. "Xiao Yifei." He reported his name.
