"Finally, you've made our little Zhuang happy. From now on, can you promise me that we won't compete with that young lord anymore? You said it yourself, he's on a mission. I've already accepted this mission, and I must complete it. I absolutely won't give up halfway. If you sincerely want to help me, then control your temper and don't always go against him. At least, don't have any conflicts on the surface, otherwise I'll be caught in the middle..."
Before Song Xiwei could finish speaking, Xiao Zhuang interrupted her resentfully, "I knew you were only coaxing me on conditions."
Xiao Zhuang said sullenly, "I'm not an unreasonable person, but, Sister Wei, have you thought about it...? Ao Qian..."
Xiao Zhuang didn't know how to explain to Song Xiwei that, as an observer, she clearly sensed that Ao Qian was acting strangely.
Because if she said anything bad about Aoqian, Song Xiwei would definitely think that she was deliberately targeting him.
But she didn't want to ignore those strong, intuitive feelings.
I always felt that Song Xiwei thought too highly of Na Aoqian; in reality, that scheming man had no good intentions at all…
Song Xi frowned slightly as she looked at Xiao Zhuang.
Xiao Zhuang said, "I'm not trying to speak ill of him, I just want to get a straight answer from you. What kind of definition do you have for the task you've set for yourself? After helping him reclaim the Demon Lord's throne, does that mean we can just ignore him?"
Upon hearing Xiao Zhuang's question, Song Xiwei did not answer immediately, but was still thinking about it.
"Sister Wei? Is this a difficult question to answer?"
"Not really, it's just that it's hard to say right now. You know his situation; the Six Realms see him as a thorn in their side. Even if he regains the position of Demon Lord, he could be replaced at any time. If he still needs my help, I'm afraid I will continue to help him."
Xiao Zhuang clenched his fist and raised his voice: "So, what you're saying is that as long as he doesn't agree to your resignation, you'll continue to be his subordinate and protect him?"
Song Xiwei didn't think for long this time, and nodded directly.
"You've ruined your entire life! My God, are you crazy? Sister Wei, wake up, it's just a mission..."
Xiao Zhuang was extremely agitated. "At first, I thought that once the mission was completed, it would take at least six months, a year, or at most two years, and we could go back to how things were before. But now, you're telling me that this mission you're undertaking could be for life! I really don't understand, Sister Wei, sacrificing your entire life for a complete stranger. It's just too unfair..."
"It's not as bad as you think. Besides, after spending time with him recently, I feel that he's not such a bad person. The way my master talks about reforming him might work. We'll see how things develop in time. It's too early to draw conclusions now."
Song Xiwei's reaction was much calmer than Xiao Zhuang's worries and concerns.
She reached out and ruffled Xiao Zhuang's hair. "Don't overthink it. Whether something is worthwhile or not isn't determined by appearances. Don't underestimate Ao Qian just because you think he's not a great person. If he had been guided onto the right path and hadn't turned to the dark side, how many lives could have been saved if that catastrophe hadn't happened?"
At this point, Song Xi smiled slightly, thinking about how he had accidentally injured Ao Qian's back earlier.
I feel somewhat ashamed.
"In the eyes of the Six Realms, that great demon who deserves to die is nothing more than an innocent boy who wouldn't dare utter a sound even if his back was skinned raw! He actually has weaknesses too."
Upon hearing Song Xiwei mention Ao Qian's points, Xiao Zhuang suddenly perked up and listened attentively, asking, "What weaknesses?"
Song Xiwei curved her lips slightly: "The better you treat him, the more he remembers your kindness and will repay you doubly. Even if you accidentally hurt him occasionally, he will silently endure it. Don't you think it would be a pity if such an obedient young man turned evil?"
