"Master, you don't want me to..."

"That's right. I've already talked to your teacher. As long as you can win over Zhang Lexuan, I can accept it even if you end up giving her to you as a concubine."

Kong Deming said with some resignation in his voice that his great-granddaughter would never become a concubine no matter where she married, even in the royal family.

But he really had no choice. Jing Hongchen would break through level 95 before him, and he would become a level 10 soul engineer before him. Although they were a master and disciple, it would not be long before Jing Hongchen would no longer be someone he could control.

What's more, it is impossible for him to snatch his own disciple's grandson. The two sides are not enemies. He knows clearly what he can and cannot do.

Kong Deming was very clear that Xiao Qiang was the person that Jing Hongchen had been targeting and was planning to make him Meng Hongchen's husband in the future, so Kong Deming had no intention of looking for Xiao Qiang at the beginning.

But no matter whether they are from the Kong family, the royal family, or other people, only Xiao Qiang and Xiao Hongchen are okay.

Originally, Kong Deming was planning to match Zhang Lexuan and Xiao Hongchen, as the two of them were considered a good match. However, when he thought of Zhang Lexuan's strength, Kong Deming had to reconsider.

Xiao Hongchen cannot suppress Zhang Lexuan's situation. If Zhang Lexuan regains her freedom one day and turns against Xiao Hongchen to kill him, Xiao Hongchen may not be able to defeat Zhang Lexuan. If Zhang Lexuan wants to marry someone, she will marry like the daughter of the Kong family. If Xiao Hongchen is really killed, then he would end up losing more than he gains.

Not only will the two families become enemies, but the Sun-Moon Empire will also suffer a great loss of strength. And the only person in the entire Sun-Moon Empire who has the ability to avoid being killed by Zhang Lexuan is Xiao Qiang.

Xiao Qiang has been targeted by Jing Hongchen, and now becoming a concubine has become Jing Hongchen's bottom line. Although Kong Deming cannot accept his great-granddaughter becoming a concubine, compared to his great-granddaughter running to Shrek and becoming his enemy, he can accept her becoming a concubine within his own forces.

At least in this way she is still on this side, and if there is affection between the two sides, it is not impossible for her to become a helper to the Kong family in the future.

Anyway, even if we take a step back, it is better for Zhang Lexuan to be one of us than to be our enemy.

"Grandmaster, it's easier for you to ask me to defeat someone or improve my strength quickly, but if you ask me to win over Zhang Lexuan to become one of your own, I really can't do it. She is too deeply tied to Shrek. It's not just one or two years, or even ten or eight years, but more than ten years. She has spent most of her life in Shrek since she grew up."

Although Xiao Qiang can use the precepts to forcibly control others, such control that completely goes against one's own will will be discovered. He can use it on Zhang Lexuan, but if he forcibly controls Zhang Lexuan, will others think that he will be the one being controlled in the future?

Things like precepts cannot be known by others casually unless one's own strength is strong enough to conquer the world.

"It's okay. Everything depends on human effort. Just do your best. I will help you solve the matter of the Ordinary Alliance. I will ask Zhang Lexuan to come over later. Just get along with each other normally. You can't rush to cultivate feelings. You can trust your own excellence."

After Kong Deming finished speaking, he left without waiting for Xiao Qiang to say anything to refuse. The next day, Zhang Lexuan was sent to Xiao Qiang's office.

Looking at Zhang Lexuan who was sent over, Xiao Qiang felt a headache. Given the high-intensity bond between her and Shrek, his master was completely arranging an impossible task for her.

"Palace Master Xiao, you don't have to feel too pressured. The clan leader means that Miss Le Xuan should be by your side. You just need to ensure Miss Le Xuan's safety, and you can handle other matters on your own." said the old man who brought Zhang Le Xuan over.

"I understand. Back off."

Xiao Qiang waved his hand, and then only Xiao Qiang and Zhang Lexuan were left in the Soul Palace Master's office.

"Ms. Le Xuan, I can help you take off the collar on your neck, but I have to tell you first, don't do anything rash after the collar is taken off."

"Sure." Zhang Lexuan answered without hesitation.

"You agreed so quickly that I always feel like you have bad intentions." Xiao Qiang put one hand on his waist and stared at Zhang Lexuan with dead fish eyes.

"If I lie, I will never be with the one I love."

"Huh? So cruel? Don't swear casually." If this oath was made in other places, it would be as good as farting. But this is the Love Continent, and Zhang Lexuan has a lover. Even though the person she likes doesn't like her, this oath is cruel enough. After all, the Love Continent is a place where love is more important than life.

"I'm not lying, so I swear."

"All right."

Xiao Qiang raised his hand and untied the collar on Zhang Lexuan's neck. Then Zhang Lexuan rubbed the marks on her neck. Just when Xiao Qiang thought that his plan to suppress the untied Zhang Lexuan with force had failed, Zhang Lexuan, who was rubbing her neck, suddenly exploded when he felt Xiao Qiang relax a little.

"Wait, you've already sworn in, and you're really going to do it! Aren't you afraid of getting separated from Beibei?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"His heart is not with me. If that's the case, what's the harm if I die alone for Shrek?"

Zhang Lexuan released a soul ring combination of two yellow, two purple, three black and one red, and then the seventh soul ring's martial soul true body lit up, and with her level 83 aura, she grabbed towards Xiao Qiang.

He had seen Xiao Qiang's strength two years ago and knew that Xiao Qiang had the strength to defeat the Six-Ring Soul Emperor Dai Yueheng.

Now that two years have passed, Zhang Lexuan can be sure that Xiao Qiang's strength must be greatly improved from the past, so she dare not be careless at all. After the martial soul's true body is activated, her eighth soul skill, Blood Moon Eclipse, is also activated, leaving Xiao Qiang no chance to resist.

He felt as if the surroundings were submerged in a sea of ​​blood and his own soul power was being eroded and lost by Zhang Lexuan's eighth soul skill, but Xiao Qiang was not in a hurry.

"This is a sea of ​​blood and erosion. It really deserves to be Shrek, which is full of evil soul masters."

"Don't slander me... ugh!"

Before Zhang Lexuan could finish her words, Xiao Qiang had already punched her, sending her flying backwards.

"You are the same. Don't you think about why I dare to relax in front of you when I am alone? It's because to me now, you are no different from Dai Yuheng back then."
