I like you.
"It's not just liking you, it's love!"
"Su Jin may like many people in her life, but she only loves Shen Qianxue!"
"Leaving doesn't necessarily mean she doesn't love you anymore; perhaps she has more important things to do."
"As long as you believe in her, she will definitely come back..."
"The Southern Kingdom, in alliance with the Liuli Society, intends to attack our country."
"The Liuli Society has never participated in court intrigues, so what is it trying to do now!"
"The problem now lies with the Ruri Society. Only by eliminating the Ruri Society can the hidden danger be completely eliminated."
"Su Jin is the Lord of Liuli!"
"Su Jin is now the Lord of Liuli!"
A jumble of sounds flooded into Shen Qianxue's mind, tearing at his nerves with excruciating pain.
It felt as if many little people were arguing in his mind.
A little white figure said: She loves you, hasn't she done enough? What are you questioning? She must have her reasons!
Another small black figure said: "That's her tactic. She's a master of disguise. No, she's not just good at disguise; she's even more despicable. She's a master at manipulating people's hearts. She knows her identity can't be hidden, so she plays the emotional card, making everyone believe without hesitation that even if she deceived them, there's a reason, and it can be forgiven. Even after being hurt by her, people can't help but speak up for her. She's terrifying!"
Another gray figure said: I think her love is real, but when interests and love conflict, she will abandon love without hesitation and rush towards interests.
Then another nobody chimed in: "Stop arguing, just wait and see. The truth will come out eventually. If all else fails, just ask her and see what she has to say!"
The little black figure immediately objected: What are you looking for? Who knows how many more sweet words she has up her sleeve? You want to be deceived by her again? Haven't you been deceived badly enough already?
The little white figure retorted sternly: We must believe her. She didn't hurt us. She loves us. Can't you see that?
Several petty people, each sticking to their own version of events, argued fiercely, and eventually started fighting.
As dawn broke, Shen Xi and Yang Jiaoruo both requested an audience.
What should be done next? Shen Qianxue needs to give the order.
"Come in."
The voices coming from inside remained calm and composed.
Shen Xi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that he wasn't too sad, which was good.
I'm really afraid that Shen Qianxue will be discouraged and never recover because of this.
The two entered the room, and Shen Qianxue pushed the small note forward.
Upon seeing this, they realized that Su Jin was the Lord of Glazed Glass!
The two were instantly stunned.
"How could this be? The Glazed Society is hunting down Su Jinxia, it's a fight to the death, how could she possibly be the Glazed Master?" Shen Xi said incredulously.
Yang Jiaoruo hadn't expected Su Jin to be so skilled at disguising herself. She said with a straight face, "I've long suspected that she has connections with the Liuli Society. There might be more to this than meets the eye, but none of you believe me."
Shen Qianxue sighed inwardly.
Su Jin is still very young, yet she has taken on the role of the Glass Master; this must be no easy feat.
Otherwise, how could the dignified Lord of the Glazed Glass, who possesses the Glazed Glass Gu Mother, be poisoned? Why would he need an antidote?
Shen Qianxue, having served as the Phoenix Lord since childhood, deeply understands the hardships involved.
Shen Xi frowned and asked again, "The Prince just sent someone to ask what happened when you left in such a hurry. How should we respond?"
Shen Qianxue's eyes narrowed.
Shen Xi continued, "Although the prince didn't say it, he values this weapon highly. If he finds out that the wooden sword is missing, he will probably be furious."
"Keep it a secret, don't let this get out of the public's mind," Shen Qianxue decided immediately.
Yang Jiaoruo disagreed, "What if the prince intends to use this sword on the battlefield and we can't get it out then?"
Shen Qianxue frowned. "This sword is devastating and its power is strange and extraordinary. Whether it can be used on the battlefield is still unknown. It is too early to talk about these things now."
Yang Jiaoruo was reprimanded and her eyes showed displeasure. "But I heard that the Southern Kingdom is colluding with the Liuli Society to attack our country. Only by destroying the Liuli Society can we protect our territory and our people. Originally, we had this wooden sword and could have stormed Liuli Mountain, but now the Liuli Society has taken the wooden sword away, and we are completely at a disadvantage."
"If the Liuli Society joins forces with the Southern Kingdom and attacks with wooden swords, how will our soldiers resist? Young Master, you are too kind. War is cruel; how can you be so sentimental!"
As Yang Jiaoruo spoke, she became agitated and started to speak without thinking.
Shen Xi looked at her reproachfully, reminding her to watch her words.
Shen Qianxue tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair, her gaze calm, seemingly ignoring Yang Jiaoruo's questioning.
He was calm, as if he hadn't been the one struggling with his inner demons last night.
He analyzed rationally: "You don't need to be too angry or panicked. Although we lost the wooden sword in this incident, it did not damage the Phoenix Pavilion's foundation. There is no need to panic."
"A wooden sword is ultimately just an inanimate object, and there's only one of its kind. It's not omnipotent, so don't overestimate its power."
Yang Jiaoruo's chest heaved slightly, her eyes filled with disappointment: "Young Master, do you still intend to protect her?"
Shen Xi tugged at Yang Jiaoruo, "Don't talk nonsense."
Shen Qianxue didn't care about Yang Jiaoruo's rebuke and disappointment as much as before, and didn't even answer Yang Jiaoruo's questions.
Some things are futile to say to those who don't understand.
After a moment of silence, Shen Qianxue said, "The most important things right now are actually two things. First, we need to find out if the news from the Southern Kingdom is accurate, and whether the Liuli Society has really sided with them. Second, we need to find out who the Liuli Society is targeting by seizing the wooden sword. Nothing else matters."
"Chen Xi, go and do it!"
Shen Xi hesitated and said, "The first thing is that we can go to the Southern Kingdom to continue our investigation, but the second thing is difficult to handle. I'm afraid only people inside the Liuli Society know about it."
Shen Qianxue leaned back, a dark light flashing in his eyes. He said softly, "Shen Xi, send a letter to the Liuli Society after the New Year. Say that the Phoenix Lord has something to ask for your advice and requests a meeting with the Liuli Lord."
Shen Xi was startled. This...
Yang Jiaoruo snorted coldly, "Does she dare to see you? Absolutely not!"
Shen Qianxue remained silent, showing no intention of changing her mind.
Shen Xi had no choice but to obey.
Shen Qianxue waved her hand, dismissing the two.
No one knew that after a night of fighting, in Shen Qianxue's mind, the white figure stood proudly with its feet on the other three figures, looking majestic and triumphant.
After Yang Jiaoruo left, her fists clenched until they turned white. She never expected that such a serious matter would be so easily dismissed by Shen Qianxue.
She was so angry!
no!
Now, only the prince can control Shen Qianxue.
She had to go to the Prince's residence. Even setting aside the matter of the wooden sword, she had to make the Prince aware of Su Jin's actions.
Shen Qianxue rubbed his aching temples, got up and went back to his bedroom. He had only wanted to change his clothes, but as soon as he entered the room, he saw a delicate little box on the table.
That box looks familiar.
Shen Qianxue frowned and thought for a moment, then finally remembered that this was the jewelry box that Su Jin had hidden in his room during the epidemic.
