Shen Qianxue took the letter and placed it on Zhou Ji's desk.

Zhou Ji scolded him with exasperation, "Look at what you've done! You went to Fengcheng and ruined the Xia family! What can I say about you!"

"What exactly is the deal with Su Jinxia? Why is she involved with Guying?"

"You, you deal with her right now, don't let her cause any more trouble!"

Zhou Ji was so angry that he could hardly breathe. He clutched his chest, his brows furrowed in distress.

Shen Qianxue turned her head and glared at Yang Jiaoruo.

The intelligence was obtained from Phoenix Pavilion. If Yang Jiao hadn't told him, how would Zhou Ji have known?

At the very least, Zhou Ji should not be allowed to know about Su Jinxia's relationship with the Guying Society, or what she did to the Xia family.

Yang Jiaoruo felt Shen Qianxue's gaze and pursed her lips even tighter.

She didn't think she was wrong. Shen Qianxue was deceived by Su Jinxia and could tolerate Su Jinxia in everything. What her subordinates said was useless.

The only option is for the prince to intervene.

Shen Qianxue poured a cup of tea and handed it to the prince. Her voice was calm and composed, neither hurried nor angry, as she said, "Your Highness need not worry. Qianxue has her own plans."

Zhou Ji raised his questioning eyes, "How do you plan to resolve this? We haven't captured the rebel army, and we can't let the Jianghu forces get away with it either."

Shen Qianxue sat down and said calmly, "As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction. Although the Xia family has the ability to command the martial arts world, they are arrogant and greedy. I'm afraid things will change in the future."

"Now that the Xia family has become the target of everyone's hatred, let's abandon them. I will contact various factions in the name of Phoenix Pavilion to eliminate the Xia family and take direct control of the power in the martial arts world."

Zhou Ji was somewhat worried, "Is it possible? The various factions in the martial arts world aren't so easy to talk to."

"Your Highness, rest assured, although Phoenix Pavilion has been out of the martial world for a long time, its reputation remains and it has long-standing friendships with various factions."

Shen Qianxue remained calm and composed, which was reassuring.

Zhou Ji put his mind at ease and pondered, "That works too, but it just adds more trouble for no reason. Qianxue, you've been running around day and night, and as your older brother, I feel sorry for you."

"This is what Qianxue should do."

Zhou Ji patted Shen Qianxue on the shoulder, "Then you can do it this way for now, we'll be separating soon."

"But has the imperial order arrived?" Shen Qianxue asked.

Zhou Ji nodded. "War has broken out in the east as well. The court has ordered us to go east to quell the unrest. We'll leave Zhuanghe for now."

"The journey is long and the journey with the army is arduous. Your Highness, please take care of your health," Shen Qianxue instructed.

Afterwards, the group chatted for a few minutes and then parted ways.

night.

Su Jin lay face down on the table, pretending to be dead.

Mai Zizi glared at her again and again, then poked her head. "Are you sure you can handle this? Didn't you say you'd go and coax him? Then go ahead and do it!"

It's true what they say: the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are.

Su Jin replied weakly, "He probably doesn't want to see me."

"Why? Ah! Brother Qianxue, what brings you here?" Mai Zizi nudged Su Jin.

Su Jin suddenly sprang up from the table, sat up straight, and looked towards the door.

Shen Qianxue strode in, and without even sitting down, said directly, "I will send someone to escort you back first thing tomorrow morning."

"Huh? Will Brother Qianxue come back with us?" Mai Zizi asked.

"I have other things to take care of. You can go back on your own." Shen Qianxue looked at Su Jinxia with an unfriendly expression and added, "Of course, if you don't want to go back, then go wherever you want. I can't stop you."

"Huh?" Mai Zizi twitched the corner of her mouth. This kind of Qianxue brother was a little scary.

Su Jinxia pursed her lips, her small hands twisting together under the table.

Shen Qianxue didn't say a word and turned to leave.

Shen Xi, who was following behind, poked Mai Zizi's head and warned, "Go back obediently. If you dare to run around again, you can forget about ever returning to Phoenix Pavilion."

Mai Zizi slapped Chen Xi's hand away, pouted, and said fiercely, "Even you're being mean to us."

Shen Xi thought to himself: If I don't yell at you, will you listen to me? You're all so lawless.

Shen Xi looked at Su Jinxia, ​​not knowing what to say, and hurriedly chased after Shen Qianxue.

Mai Zizi sighed heavily, "Do you dare not reply? I certainly don't."

Su Jin bit her lower lip until it turned white, and said pathetically, "I wouldn't dare either."

As she spoke, large tears began to fall.

"Hey, why are you crying?" Mai Zizi was startled and looked at Su Jinxia helplessly.

"He was mean to me." Su Jin sniffed, her eyes filled with tears, looking extremely aggrieved.

"Huh? Did I yell at you?" Mai Zizi tilted her head and thought for a moment.

"Yes." Su Jin nodded affirmatively.

"Oh, so what if he's fierce? Brother Qianxue is always fierce to me too, but I never cried." Mai Zizi took out a handkerchief and handed it to Su Jin, looking disgusted.

"What do you know?" Su Jin said vaguely, tears streaming down her face.

Mai Zizi scratched her head, then her eyes lit up. She ran out of bed and grabbed two small jars of wine.

"Come on, let's drink to forget our troubles. I'll have a drink with you."

Su Jin looked at the wine bottle and suddenly remembered the last time she got drunk, Shen Qianxue stayed in her room for half the night, and she still didn't understand what had happened.

She immediately shuddered, shaking her head vigorously like a rattle-drum, waving her hands hastily, "No, no, I'll do bad things if I'm drunk."

"It's okay, I'll tell you, I've secretly tried it, it's so delicious, I bought it specifically and hid it by my bedside to share with you."

"It really won't work!"

"Come on, come on, let me fill you up."

"Then just have one drink. One drink definitely won't make you drunk."

"Two drinks won't make you drunk, trust me."

As night deepened, bottles, glasses, and people spilled all over the table.
