Chapter 14 If you really can’t hate someone, don’t force yourself to hate them.

After returning home, Qi Xunsheng sent a message to Shan Xianmin to confirm the action. In less than an hour, an invitation to a summer party was sent to every household in the aristocratic circle in Los Angeles.

The news also reached Su Jing's ears.

When Su Jing heard that she was going to have a party tomorrow, she was furious. She knew very well that she didn't have any ideas about parties normally, but she chose to hold it when she decided to have one.

What does this mean?

This means that Qi Xunsheng is deliberately going against her.

It’s about connections and popularity, right?

She, Su Jing, will not lose.

So Su Jing, who had originally planned to hold the party after inviting Qi Zhao, also changed the time and set the party for tomorrow, the same day as Qi Xunsheng.

She sent an invitation to Qi Zhao last week, but there was no news. She went to Xiyue Building but didn't see anyone. She heard that everyone who went to Rose Manor was sick, so she didn't dare to go in.

So, she didn't see Qi Zhao at all this week and was not sure whether the invitation letter was really delivered to her.

But she felt that if Qi Zhao saw the invitation letter, he would definitely agree. The only reason she didn't respond was that she didn't see it.

Otherwise, why did Qi Zhao come to her mother’s birthday last time when she sent the invitation?

If not for her, then for whom?

The more Su Jing thought about it, the more certain she became that Qi Zhao would come to her party.

As long as Qi Zhao comes, it doesn't matter if everyone else in Luocheng goes to Qi Xunsheng.

The fact is, as long as Qi Zhao accepts her party invitation, everyone in Los Angeles will come to her party just to catch a glimpse of the mysterious Qi Zhao.

What will Qi Xunsheng use to snatch the person from her then?

Su Jing couldn't help but laugh when she thought of this. Her sister was discussing the party with her face to face at that time. Seeing her happy smile, she asked, "Did you think of something happy? Why are you smiling so happily?"

Su Jing restrained her smile, but under the gazes of the crowd, she said, "Guess?"

Shen Linlin raised her hand first and answered: "I guess Qi Zhao will definitely come, right!"

"I guess so! If there's anyone in the whole of Luo City who can hire Qi Zhao, Jingjing is definitely the only one."

"Yes, yes, last time it was Aunt Lu's birthday, Jingjing invited Qi Zhao over."

"Does Qi Zhao want to cooperate with the Su family?"

"Stop, stop, stop, be bolder. I guess Qi Zhao has someone he likes in the Su family, so he came here!"

"That must be Jingjing! Sister Su Yun is abroad. If it's not Jingjing, could it be Qi Xunsheng?"

"It must be Jingjing!"

Su Jing originally didn't want to say it so firmly. Although she also believed that Qi Zhao would come, she gradually became addicted to the expectant and admiring gazes and flattering words of the crowd. Regardless of whether Qi Zhao had really accepted her invitation, she declared: "Qi Zhao will definitely come, you just wait!"

She believed that Qi Zhao just didn't receive her invitation.

If only she made the party big enough, if only she knew it would happen.

If Qi Zhao didn't come for her, then who could he come for?

The more Su Jing thought about it, the more she felt that there was a reason why Qi Zhao didn't reply.

Su Jing invited many people, some of whom agreed because they had a good relationship with her family, and some of whom heard that Qi Zhao would come to her house.

After she said this, many people who had not originally planned to participate came to her for invitations.

But Su Jing held a grudge, and she severely humiliated those who rejected her.

He had rejected her invitation at first, saying that it was a small party and not up to standard, but now he came to curry favor with her when he heard Qi Zhao's name.

She, Su Jing, is not a pushover.

Trying to curry favor with Qi Zhao through her is impossible.

Originally, there were only two small parties, but Su Jing caused a fight to break out, so Qi Xunsheng couldn't invite anyone except Shan Xianmin's friends.

"That's just abominable!" Shan Xianmin hung up the phone angrily. "These people have such ugly expressions! And that Su Jing, when she heard you were having a party tomorrow, she rescheduled it for tomorrow too. She's blatantly trying to steal our people."

Qi Xunsheng was setting up the party venue. Time was tight, so she specially asked a few people from the hotel to help.

"Just let them go," Qi Xunsheng said with a gentle smile, "Have you forgotten? The purpose of our party is not to compete with her. We just want Qi Zhao to make some friends and not stay in that gloomy and scary castle all day. Let her come out and make her happy."

Qi Xunsheng's voice was unusually gentle, and the smile on his face was even more gentle and moving. There were little stars twinkling in his eyes, as if he couldn't help but feel happy when he thought of Qi Zhao.

Shan Xianmin sincerely admires her acting skills.

If she didn't know the truth, she would have been moved by these words and expressions.

"That's right. I just hope Qi Zhao can really understand your painstaking efforts," Shan Xianmin sighed. "I know you always care about your friends, but it seems you treat her differently than others. I was quite angry because you never treated me like this. But when I think about how you've been single for so long and finally met someone you want to be sincere with, I'm not angry anymore. As your friend, I will definitely support you unconditionally, and I will support you and Qi Zhao unconditionally."

The two of them inexplicably competed in acting skills.

There were faint tears in Qi Xunsheng's eyes.

Shan Xianmin thought about it for a long time, and vaguely remembered that when she lost consciousness in the Rose Castle, a voice in her ear told her to stay away from Qi Xunsheng.

After listening to Qi Xunsheng's words, Shan Xianmin also realized that he was not hallucinating or having memory disorder.

That must be Qi Zhao's warning to her.

Therefore, she now has to show that Qi Xunsheng cares about Qi Zhao more, so that Qi Zhao will be happy, be fooled, and be willing to be a pawn.

The helpers who were helping them set up the party venue in the garden had no idea what was going on. They only saw the two people looking at each other in silence with tears in their eyes.

Everyone looked at each other.

At night, in the rose manor on the other side.

Qi Zhao closed the book, his expression serious: "Did she really say that?"

The little flying insect fluttered its wings, circled around her ears, and buzzed, "Yes, yes, I heard it with my own ears, and they were both almost crying, Master, I think Xiao Xunsheng is really good to you."

"And Xiao Xunsheng didn't tell anyone else that you rejected her. Master, I think Xiao Xunsheng really likes you."

The little flying insect doesn't have so many twists and turns in its mind. It believes whatever it hears and doesn't know that people can disguise themselves.

Qi Zhao didn't think too much about it, but her heart couldn't help but ache. If this was true, then she had rejected her without hesitation today, so wouldn't Qi Xunsheng be sad?

"Are you sure she likes me?"

"Yes, yes, the master is handsome, rich, and treats her well. She must like you."

"Am I good to her?"

Qi Zhao was stunned.

In fact, she didn't think she was very good to Qi Xunsheng.

Because of what happened in her previous life, she was always wary of Qi Xunsheng and had some grudges against him.

"What else? Are you not good enough for her?" A female voice suddenly interrupted, echoing ethereally in the study.

The long-haired female ghost in white clothes hanging upside down in the air stared at her with a grin.

The little flies flew away immediately when they saw her.

Qi Zhao frowned: "Knock on the door."

Cheng Wei was so angry that he stood at attention and pointed at himself with his long sleeves: "You want me, a ghost, to knock on the door?"

The door was tightly closed. If she hadn't turned into a wisp of smoke and floated in through the crack, she wouldn't have been able to enter the study.

Qi Zhao ignored her anger.

Cheng Wei floated in the air and continued, "No one would think that punishing her to sleep on the floor for two hours is unfair to her, right?!"

Qi Zhao took another book from the bookshelf and opened it.

Cheng Wei has been working with her for almost two hundred years. He was not with her from the beginning and did not know her past. After her constant inquiries, she finally came to some conclusions.

Qi Zhao has an immortal soul. After death, she enters reincarnation, and each life span does not exceed thirty years. She has lived for a thousand years now. During this thousand years, she has been waiting for the reincarnation of her white moonlight. However, this white moonlight had hurt her in the previous life, and Qi Zhao "hated" her.

At first, Cheng Wei also thought that Qi Zhao had lived for so many years out of hatred, and when he saw Bai Yueguang again, he just wanted to kill her with his own hands, just like her.

But gradually, she discovered that Qi Zhao was lying.

Whoever hates the other person will risk his own life to dive into the sea to rescue a dying person, will burn his life to activate the soul-gathering technique to find the kidnapped person, send her home safely, and then sleep for many years.

The first thing to do when you wake up is to find each other.

After luring someone home, the first thing you do is not to hunt him down but to carry him to bed and make out with him?

Cheng Wei almost didn't recognize the word "hate".

"I often see you flipping through this book. What's in it?"

Cheng Wei floated behind her, staring at the ancient book with the word "Xuanmen" written on it.

Qi Zhao still ignored her.

Cheng Wei curled his lips, followed her movements as she turned the pages of the book, looked at the words on it, and talked to her in a disjointed manner.

"It's not good for her, so they specially arranged a little flying insect to protect her so that they can go to help her as soon as possible, right?"

"You're not treating her well, so you're deliberately staining the jade bracelet with your own blood to prevent her from seeing ghosts, right?"

Qi Zhao paused, and finally said, "You talk too much."

Cheng Wei continued, "Now we don't need bracelets anymore. We can use another method, right? We can use scent to mark the target, so that other creatures won't dare to get close."

Qi Zhao raised his eyes and looked at her coldly, feeling full of oppression.

This means that Qi Zhao is really angry.

Cheng Wei made a gesture to cover his mouth, promising to stay quiet.

She has been chattering here for so long, but Qi Zhao didn't just kick her out. I guess it's useful to keep her here.

Cheng Wei followed her movements as she flipped through the papers, waiting for her to ask questions.

After a long time, Qi Zhao finally spoke:

"Am I going too far?"

Cheng Wei nodded: "It's more than excessive."

Not only did he not reply to her, but he also looked at her with such a cold look that scared her.

"Should I give her a way out?"

"Sure...who?"

Cheng Wei finally realized that Qi Zhao was talking about Qi Xunsheng. She gritted her teeth and said, "Of course I have to give it to him!"

How could she not understand what Qi Zhao was thinking?

Just wait for her to instigate and agree, and then let go of her hatred.

"But then again..."

Before Cheng Wei could finish his words, he was given another cold look.

There's no going back on that.

"She even threw a party just for you and helped you make friends. She's so nice to you, why are you still complaining? Just give her a break."

Cheng Wei smiled.

Sometimes it is really painful to follow a boss who says one thing and does another.

Qi Zhao nodded thoughtfully: "You have been with me for a long time, so I naturally trust you."

Cheng Wei: “…” You clearly believe in yourself.

"If you can't hate someone, don't force yourself to hate them."

"Um?"

"I say," Cheng Wei paused, then smiled and pointed at the book in her hand, "saving one person requires the lives of an entire nation. This method is truly hateful."

Qi Zhao was holding the Xuanmen History in his hand.

It contains a lot of metaphysics that is unknown to the world.

Qi Zhao lowered his eyes and stared at the pages in a daze.

"If she knew, she would definitely not want to live."

Cheng Wei nodded fiercely: "Those who survived will definitely feel guilty."

Qi Zhao said nothing and continued to read.

"By the way, is there anything going on in Kunling Mountain?"

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Wei usually guards outside Kunling Mountain when she has nothing to do. Qi Zhao doesn't let her in, so she never goes in.

"Didn't you go into Kunling Mountain the night before last?"

“…”

Qi Zhao's silence made Cheng Wei realize that he had done something bad.

If the person who went in wasn't Qi Zhao, then who would it be?

Kunling Mountain has existed for thousands of years. In recent years, archaeologists have been mining in the wilderness when they have free time, and Kunling Mountain has become a thorn in their eyes.

Now that a group of ancient tombs have been discovered in Beilu Village, this group of people can no longer sit still.

Cheng Wei knew very well that he had done something wrong due to negligence.

But Qi Zhao didn't have time to blame her now, so he turned around and rushed towards Kunling Mountain.

Even though there were so many creatures guarding Kunling Mountain, he was still able to enter without any flaws. Anyone with such ability must be an extraordinary person.

Could it be...

That person is here too?
