Chapter 240 Playing the Lute to a Cow



Xu Xianxian probably didn't expect that there was still a chance to survive.

Although there are two more experts around him, they are called bodyguards, but in fact they are monitoring him.

But Xu Xianxian was very satisfied. Although her life was not satisfactory, she had never thought about ending her life.

After all... there is hope as long as you are alive.

However, Xu Xianxian couldn't understand why Chen An wanted her to do what he wanted.

However, Xu Xianxian didn't dare to think too much about it, for fear of breaking a taboo.

Xu Xianxian quickly left the palace, got on the sedan chair, and returned to the Xu Mansion.

When Xu Juge saw Xu Xianxian coming back with two powerful men from Fengshen Sect, he was not worried but overjoyed.

It was as if his daughter had already won the emperor's favor, and when she left the palace, she was even accompanied by masters of the Fengshen Sect as guards.

"Xianxian, why are you back? Didn't I ask you to take care of His Majesty?" Xu Juge asked with a smile.

Xu Xianxian looked at Xu Juge and said, "Dad, His Majesty won't let me take care of him."

"Why? You didn't take good care of her?" Xu Juge was stunned.

Xu Xianxian shook her head and sighed, "My daughter is useless. His Majesty..."

"Miss Xianxian!" Duan Chi, who was following beside her, looked cold, as if giving a reminder.

Xu Xianxian stopped talking immediately and shook her head, "Dad, I'm going back to the house first!"

Xu Juge wanted to ask, but when he saw the two powerful divine guards from the Fengshen Sect, he didn't dare to speak.

He just stared at his daughter, hoping that she could give him some clues.

However, Xu Xianxian didn't even look at him and just went back to her room.

The two masters of the Imperial Divine Guard naturally followed.

At this moment, Xu Juge's heart was pounding as he recalled Xu Xianxian's words and sigh just now.

The more Xu Juge thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and his expression became uncertain.

moment!

Xu Juge glared: "Oh no, something big is going to happen!"

Chen An sat quietly in the Nine Dragon Hall. Xing'er peeled the fruit and handed it to Chen An.

Chen An seems to be living a very comfortable life.

Wu Tian beside him had a bitter face: "Your Majesty, what if..."

"Sixth Elder, what are you worried about? Even if I'm exposed, as long as I'm in charge of Tiandu City, no demons or monsters will dare to mess around!"

Chen An laughed proudly, "What's more, if Xu Xianxian hadn't exposed my intentions, then, do you think those people secretly plotting something bad would have started making hasty arrangements?"

"Your Majesty, you asked Xu Xianxian not to say anything, but you seemed to know everything. I'm afraid... the people in the dark will not dare to act rashly, right?" Wu Tian held a different opinion.

Chen An shook his head and said, "Sixth Elder, you still don't understand people's hearts, let alone the minds of these cunning ministers."

"Why?" Wu Tian was indeed puzzled. He was a pure cultivator and rarely cared about worldly affairs.

Chen An's eyes lit up slightly. "For example, when I was returning to the city, I vomited blood in front of so many people and even looked like my life was in danger. But it's been two or three days, and they still haven't made any unusual moves. Instead, Xu Xianxian showed up. Why is that?"

"Didn't Xu Xianxian come here hoping to gain His Majesty's favor? What else?" Wu Tian couldn't help but ask, "If she's lying, then she came here to investigate His Majesty's injuries. But if His Majesty lets her go, wouldn't that be a huge mistake?"

Chen An smiled calmly and said, "She didn't lie, I'm sure of that. In other words, even if she lied, with Duan Chi and the others watching, it would be difficult for her to make any small moves!"

"To convey information through glances, you don't necessarily need to speak. It's hard to guard against!" Wu Tian said.

But at this moment, a golden paper crane jumped out of Chen An's palm.

Duan Chi's voice came from among them: "Your Majesty, Xu Xianxian acted according to your instructions, and there was nothing wrong with it. She is now resting in her room and has not seen anyone!"

After hearing this, Chen An's smile became even brighter: "Look how well-behaved she is. She does whatever you ask her to do!"

Wu Tian was completely confused and looked at Chen An depressedly.

Chen An spoke again: "Xu Xianxian hesitated to speak, as if she knew but didn't dare to say it. My people were watching. What do you think his father would think if he saw it, or if someone else saw it?"

Wu Tian frowned, as if in deep thought.

Chen An looked at Wu Tian. "Plus, I'm seriously injured and vomiting blood, and the experts from the Fengshen Sect are guarding Xu Xianxian. Will they further speculate that I'm dying? Or even... dead?"

Wu Tian frowned: "It's just a guess, not a confirmation. Those people will probably have to be absolutely sure before they take action!"

Chen An shook his head. "You're wrong. If the news that I'm dying reached their ears, they'd probably wonder how such important news could be leaked so easily. Could it be that I did it on purpose?"

Wu Tian was silent.

Chen An's smile gradually faded, his eyes sharpening: "Some people won't trust anything they see or hear. They'll worry that someone else is deliberately showing or saying it to them!"

"On the contrary, they firmly believe in the results they come up with through observation, speculation, and analysis!"

"How could this be?" Wu Tian was completely puzzled. With his cultivator's mentality, he found it unbelievable.

Chen An laughed and said, "Because they are officials serving the emperor, they have reached high positions of power and have long since learned to guess his intentions!"

In the end, Chen An's in-depth analysis was met with confused expressions from Wu Tian and Xing'er, one old and one young.
