Shangguan Nana was stunned. At this time, shouldn't she think about what she said and give an answer of agreement or rejection?
Chu Lingxiao on the side was used to it. Qingze's train of thought had always been rather... strange, and sometimes he would just surprise people with his ideas.
However, when asked such sudden and unconventional questions, the person on the other end will subconsciously tell the truth.
Moreover, after hearing Shangguan Nana's words, he realized that something was wrong.
Shangguan Nana obviously wanted to protect Qianyao Beast. If he and Qingze had not met her by chance at that time, they would probably have gone to the monarch of Qianyao Kingdom, her father, to find out the situation and kill Qianyao Beast.
He sensed Shangguan Nana's determination to protect Qianyao Beast. Since her desire to protect was so strong, it was impossible for her not to take some practical action. So this encounter was too coincidental, and he didn't believe it was not intentional.
Shangguan Nana smiled, with a fierce look in her eyes. At this moment, she didn't look like a princess, but rather a monarch who controlled everything.
"Yes, today's encounter on the street was not an accidental one. I planned it carefully. Qianyao Country is a small country with a small and fixed population. If an outsider suddenly appeared here, it would be very obvious."
"Ever since my foolish father sent a letter for help to Qingyun Sect two months ago, I've deployed spies throughout Qianyao Country. They'll report to me any unfamiliar faces they see. So, even if other people from Qingyun Sect were to undertake this mission, no matter where they are in Qianyao Country, they'd only run into me first, not my foolish father."
"I knew you were sent by the Qingyun Sect the moment I saw you. The conversations that followed were all fake, just to make you believe the innocent image I created, immersed in a happy marriage."
"The only twist in this plan is that you know me. But before that, I had a pretty silly image, so I thought this twist worked in my favor. I didn't expect it to be discovered anyway... Can you tell me where the flaw is?"
Shangguan Nana looked like she was asking for advice humbly, and didn't show any panic at all about being found out. Instead, she admitted it generously, which made Gu Qingze a little confused.
"Your desire to protect Chiyomon is too strong."
Gu Qingze explained.
"Of course I know this, but it's an essential step in the plan. That's why I've been playing such a naive persona in the beginning. I want you to believe that I just happened to meet you and suddenly thought of Chiyomon's tragic experience, so I felt pity and asked for help."
Shangguan Nana was a little disappointed after hearing his explanation.
"So, you didn't believe what I said before?"
"I believed you at first, but then I realized something was wrong. You were too genuine. I've seen your true feelings come out, so your happy expression at first seemed fake."
Gu Qingze studied acting before he entered the book. To be honest, Shangguan Nana's acting was indeed good, but she still lacked professional guidance.
"I see."
"You're not just putting on this act to protect Chiyomon, are you?"
Gu Qingze suddenly had a bold guess in his mind and asked tentatively.
"Of course, it's just a borrowed knife. If my father can do it, why can't I?"
