Chapter 141 Seizing Power They are the same kind of people.

Although a little surprised, Yan Xiao was always calm, so he just nodded slightly to Ji Mingxue without changing his expression, "Mr. Ji."

The reason why he didn't call him "Junior Brother Ji" was because Ji Mingxue always called him "Mr. Yan". Obviously, Ji Mingxue was not like Shen Qingzhu, who really regarded Yan Xiao as a senior and friend.

However, a nobleman like Ji Mingxue, who comes from a prominent family, would not easily open up to others.

If it weren't for Shen Qingzhu, Ji Mingxue might never have had any contact with Yan Xiao in her life.

But no matter what, Yan Xiao was still full of gratitude to Ji Mingxue for coming to the Yan family to rescue him, taking him to the private starship, and sending him back to the academy star.

Yan Xiao didn't know when Ji Mingxue came here, or whether he saw him and Shen Qingzhu talking for a long time in the observation hall, because from Ji Mingxue's ambiguous expression, he couldn't tell whether Ji Mingxue was angry or not.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiao couldn't help but sigh - over the years, Yan Xiao had come into contact with many powerful and wealthy people, and had seen quite a few young second and third generations, but he had never seen a young master like Ji Mingxue who was so intimidating without even getting angry.

Ji Mingxue is obviously five years younger than him, just like Shen Qingzhu. But when facing Ji Mingxue, Yan Xiao could never guess what he was thinking. He always felt that no matter how respectful he was when facing a big party, it would not be too cautious.

Because of this, Yan Xiao did not speculate whether Ji Mingxue came to call for punishment. He just waited for Ji Mingxue to speak first without making any noise.

What Yan Xiao didn't expect was that Ji Mingxue didn't mention Shen Qingzhu at all, and just asked him directly, "What are Mr. Yan's plans for the Yan family?"

Yan Xiao was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Ji Mingxue to suddenly mention the Yan family.

But Yan Xiao knew very well that Ji Mingxue would never do anything without a purpose.

After a moment's silence, Yan Xiao finally told the truth, "The video you sent me can prove that the Yan family has seriously violated the personal freedom of citizens and is suspected of human trafficking."

"When I return to the Academy Star, I plan to bring evidence to negotiate with the Yan family and sever my family ties with them."

Ji Mingxue looked at him in surprise, "Just like that?"

Yan Xiao pushed his glasses helplessly, "Although I have a career now, facing the Yan family, a middle-class family, alone is like hitting a rock with an egg. I will only suffer losses."

"Strictly speaking, the Empire doesn't have any laws that can truly sever family ties, so I can only negotiate and ask the Yan family to stop bothering me in the future."

Ji Mingxue was surprised by Yan Xiao's naivety, because, "You should know that for a truly shameless person, the evidence you have is nothing."

Also, "You are now in the fifth grade, and you can only stay in the Academy Star for five years at most."

Because the maximum study period for Imperial University students is ten years.

When ten years are up, all students must leave the Academy Star unless they are hired by the Academy Star to stay and work.

Once he leaves the Academy Star, even if Yan Xiao has a successful career at that time, if the Yan family insists on fighting him to the death and intends to harm Yan Xiao, it will be difficult for Yan Xiao to really defend himself.

After all, there is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?

Yan Xiao naturally knew this, but as he said, once he left the Yan family, he would be like a commoner without any backing, and there was no way he could defeat the Yan family, which was a noble family.

Therefore, Yan Xiao could only gamble that in five years his achievements and status would be so high that the Yan family would not dare to touch him again.

But this is easier said than done.

The reason why aristocratic families are aristocratic families is that they have all experienced the test of time for thousands of years.

The aristocratic families that have survived to this day, even if they are in decline, possess power far beyond the reach of an individual.

Therefore, Yan Xiao did not really intend to resist the entire Yan family on his own, but planned to expand his network as much as possible in the next few years.

If possible, it would be best to make friends with one or more large families that are strong enough to compete with or even suppress the Yan family, so that the Yan family will be afraid to take action against him again.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiao subconsciously glanced at Ji Mingxue.

Actually, to be honest, the Ji family is a good choice.

But Yan Xiao had worked with Ji Mingxue's team of lawyers before, and he knew that each of them was an elite among the elites, no less elite than himself.

So Yan Xiao really doesn't have the confidence that Ji Mingxue must think highly of his abilities.

But Yan Xiao also knew that the reason Ji Mingxue was waiting here was definitely not just to say the above words to him.

But it was hard for him to figure out Ji Mingxue's real intention, so he simply asked directly, "What do you think, Mr. Ji?"

Ji Mingxue then showed a hint of smile in her eyes, "I can't say it's a brilliant opinion, but I do have some suggestions."

He suddenly asked Yan Xiao, "Mr. Yan, why do you think the Yan family dared to treat you like this?"

Yan Xiao pushed up his glasses and said bluntly, "Because of power."

Ji Mingxue nodded in satisfaction, and said lightly, "Then I will seize the power. What do you think, Mr. Yan?"

Yan Xiao: ...

No one expected Ji Mingxue to give such a suggestion. Even someone as calm as Yan Xiao couldn't help but choke up for a moment.

It was not until a long while later that Yan Xiao finally came to his senses. He took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Ji, I am an Omega now."

Ji Mingxue said, "Hmm?", "So?"

Yan Xiao choked again and said speechlessly, "There is almost no precedent in the Empire for Omegas becoming heirs to aristocratic families."

Even if there is only one Omega in the family, most noble families will choose an Alpha as their partner, and the Alpha will take care of the family affairs.

Ji Mingxue said, "Just because it has never happened, does that mean it must be correct?"

He looked straight into Yan Xiao's eyes, and did not persuade Yan Xiao to do anything. He just asked him, "I just ask you, do you dare to do that?"

Under his sharp gaze, Yan Xiao actually felt a rare sense of tremendous pressure.

But at the same time, there was an unprecedented restlessness stirring in Yan Xiao's heart -

That was the seed of ambition that Yan Xiao had suppressed deep in his heart all these years and had never revealed to anyone.

Because his father is a Beta, Yan Xiao has been taught by the Yan family over the years that he is born inferior and is destined to contribute to the Yan family like his father.

But it is obvious that Yan Xiao's father is also from the direct line of the Yan family.

According to imperial law, Yan Xiao's father actually also has the right to inherit the Yan family.

But just because his father differentiated into Beta, he was completely excluded from the family heir.

In this regard, even though Yan Xiao was familiar with the imperial laws, he never felt that there was anything wrong.

But today, Ji Mingxue asked him, if it has always been this way, does it mean it is correct?

Ji Mingxue also asked him if he dared to compete for the position of head of the Yan family.

To be fair, if we don't mention gender and origin, and just talk about this matter itself, it can indeed solve Yan Xiao's troubles to the greatest extent -

Because once Yan Xiao becomes the person who holds the power of the Yan family, the Yan family will never be able to do anything against him again.

It can be said to be cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron.

This idea indeed made Yan Xiao more and more excited the more he thought about it.

But Yan Xiao also knew that Ji Mingxue would not help him for no reason.

Therefore, he did not answer Ji Mingxue's question immediately, but only asked cautiously, "What do I need to pay?"

Ji Mingxue looked at him with appreciation, obviously very satisfied that Yan Xiao was not blinded by his ambition.

However, his next words surprised Yan Xiao.

He said, "If I remember correctly, you only signed a six-month cooperation agreement with Shen Qingzhu, and now the time is almost up."

Yan Xiao nodded, wondering if Ji Mingxue wanted him to stay away from Schoolmate Shen in the future, or simply recruit Yan Xiao under his command and make Yan Xiao his vassal.

If that were the case, Yan Xiao could only reject him with regret - he didn't want to be anyone's vassal.

Ji Mingxue said, "Through the cooperation over the past six months, Mr. Yan should be able to see that Shen Qingzhu is a very good partner."

Yan Xiao was a little confused, but he still answered cautiously, "Brother Shen is indeed very good."

Ji Mingxue smiled.

This smile was completely different from before, and even Yan Xiao, an outsider, could see that after mentioning Junior Brother Shen, Ji Mingxue's whole person softened a lot.

Ji Mingxue then said, "My request is that Mr. Yan can continue to cooperate with Shen Qingzhu and handle legal matters for Shen Qingzhu as before."

Yan Xiao: ...

That’s it?

However, he waited for a long time but did not hear Ji Mingxue's next words.

Yan Xiao knew that the conditions Ji Mingxue proposed to help him seize the position of the head of the Yan family were indeed just that simple.

Yan Xiao: ...

At this moment, Yan Xiao really wanted to ask Shen Qingzhu what kind of magic potion she had given to this noble young master of the Ji family!

Although he didn't want to describe it this way, Yan Xiao really felt that Ji Mingxue, who proposed such an exchange condition, was a little love-minded.

After being speechless for a while, Yan Xiao finally told Ji Mingxue, "...I have already renewed the cooperation agreement with Junior Brother Shen. I will continue to serve him for the next five years."

The agreement was signed when the two were chatting not long ago.

At that time, Yan Xiao asked Shen Qingzhu about it because he remembered that the cooperation was about to expire.

Shen Qingzhu then remembered this matter and signed a five-year contract extension agreement with Yan Xiao on the spot.

Therefore, even without Ji Mingxue's proposal, Yan Xiao would continue to cooperate with Shen Qingzhu.

Ji Mingxue was obviously a little surprised to hear Yan Xiao's words, but he still nodded, "In that case, the Ji family will help Mr. Yan win the position of the head of the family."

Yan Xiao choked up again and said helplessly, "I have already renewed my contract with Junior Brother Shen."

In other words, whether Ji Mingxue helps him or not, it will not affect his cooperation with Shen Qingzhu.

Ji Mingxue naturally knew about this, but he still nodded slightly and said, "I know, but you can't always hide from the Yan family."

"Since you are Shen Qingzhu's friend, I naturally cannot let you be bullied by others."

"That's settled."

"Just wait for my news from now on."

After saying that, Ji Mingxue left in a swift and decisive manner.

Yan Xiao didn't come back to his senses until his swift figure disappeared into the depths of the corridor.

It’s no wonder that Yan Xiao was stunned. In fact, the tone of Ji Mingxue’s voice when she said she wanted to help him become the head of the Yan family was just like pulling a cabbage out of the ground.

He said it lightly, as if the Yan family was not some aristocratic family at all, and there was no gender distinction between ABO in this world.

Ji Mingxue also didn't think it was strange at all for Yan Xiao, an Omega, to become the head of the Yan family.

Yan Xiao thought of Ji Mingxue's words again, "Just because it has never happened, does it mean it must be correct?"

He vaguely remembered what Shen Qingzhu said, "I hate that, so I decided to change it."

At this moment, Yan Xiao suddenly felt a lot of emotion in his heart——

When Yan Xiao first saw Shen Qingzhu and Ji Mingxue officially announce their relationship, he was very surprised, because Shen Qingzhu and Ji Mingxue's personalities were so different, one was an overly gentle Alpha, the other was an overly strong Omega, one was from a common family, and the other was from a top aristocratic family.

In the past, Yan Xiao had mostly seen similar combinations in the plaintiff and defendant seats, and they would usually end up in an ugly situation when breaking up or divorcing.

Therefore, Yan Xiao has actually always been a little worried that Shen Qingzhu and Ji Mingxue will end up in a miserable way in the future due to differences in personality or world views.

But today, Yan Xiao discovered that Shen Qingzhu's heart was far from being as indifferent to the world as she seemed on the outside, and Ji Mingxue was not like other Omegas of noble birth who had nothing in common with Alphas of commoner origin.

Even though their appearances and personalities are very different, their soul cores are very similar——

They all have a rebellious heart that dares to go against the world.

They are the same kind of people.

Therefore, it is natural that Shen Qingzhu and Ji Mingxue would be attracted to each other, fall in love with each other, and reach this point today.

It’s true, they are a perfect match no matter how you think about it!

When he thought of this, Yan Xiao suddenly felt a faint envy in his heart.

Also, he clearly met Shen Qingzhu and Ji Mingxue separately tonight, so why did he still feel like he had eaten a bowl of dog food?

He was obviously a little hungry before returning to his room and had originally planned to order some breakfast, but now he just felt full.

Although he couldn't eat, Yan Xiao's eyes brightened when he thought of Ji Mingxue saying that she would help him seize the position of head of the Yan family.

The seed of ambition that had been suppressed in his heart for many years finally broke free from its shackles, grew in the wind, and soon became towering.

…

When Shen Qingzhu returned to the rest cabin, it was not yet fully light.

However, there was no sign of Ji Mingxue on the bed.

At the same time, Sun Jian also told Shen Qingzhu, "Master, we did not detect Master Ming Xue in the rest cabin."

After saying this, Sunjian's voice suddenly sounded a little uneasy, [… Could it be that Master Mingxue went to catch an adulterer? ]

Shen Qingzhu: ...

【What weird things have you seen recently? 】

The tip of the bamboo shoot laughed and said, [One King and Two Queens - The Empire Version of Burning Winter!]

Shen Qingzhu: ...

At this moment, Shen Qingzhu was seriously considering whether to restrict Sunjian's entertainment permissions to avoid polluting its database.

Just as Shen Qingzhu was turning around to look for Ji Mingxue, he saw the door of the rest cabin open.

It was Ji Mingxue, dressed in black.

Shen Qingzhu asked him, "Why did you get up so early?"

Ji Mingxue walked up to him in two or three steps, raised her eyebrows and said, "I just went to chat with Yan Xiao for a while."

Shen Qingzhu: ...

At this moment, although Shen Qingzhu was very clear that he and Senior Yan were innocent, his heart still skipped a beat and he felt inexplicably guilty and remorseful.

I also inexplicably thought of Sun Jian’s outrageous words “catching an adulterer”.

But based on Shen Qingzhu's understanding of Ji Mingxue, it is impossible for Ji Mingxue to do anything that would damage his dignity given her upbringing.

Ji Mingxue didn't look like she was angry.

Therefore, Shen Qingzhu did not intend to hide it, and just took the initiative to explain in a good manner, "What a coincidence, I also chatted with Senior Yan for a while before."
