Chapter 242 Jin丨Exclusive publication by Jiang Wenxue
Xue Chen’s intention to send him away was obvious. Di Fei was shocked and couldn’t stay here any longer, so he politely said goodbye.
After leaving the palace, Di Fei was shocked and asked his subordinates, “Where did Hall Master Yuan go?”
One pointed to the east end of the alley and whispered, “Hall Master Yuan is standing there, probably waiting for you.”
“How does he look?”
“Very good. Hall Master Yuan was still smiling when he came out.”
They had already heard about Yuan Feishuang’s brutal side, and knew that the hall master’s junior brother was a double-faced person. He looked gentle, but in fact he was very resourceful.
However, they also knew that Yuan Feishuang would not hurt people for no reason. The hall master’s junior brother was one of their own, so there was no need to be too vigilant, so they didn’t observe his words and expressions carefully, and didn’t see Yuan Feishuang’s true mood at all.
Di Feijing had seen his junior fellow apprentice being distressed because others did not understand him, and after hearing what his confidant said, he felt a little helpless.
But it was not all bad.
His junior fellow apprentice was soft-hearted, his tactics were simple, and he looked like someone who was easily bullied, so it was difficult for him to intimidate others.
Now that he was misunderstood like this, it was not easy for others to see through him. As long as he put on his usual smile and punished people, his subordinates would only notice that he did not easily reveal his emotions, and would be trembling with fear, fearing that they would offend him in some way, and would not care much whether the punishment he made was too light. Therefore, Di Feijing let it go and did not interfere.
Di Feijing chased after him, and was relieved when he saw the silver-red color.
"What are you doing here? You finally get to see the prince, why don't you stay inside and spend more time with them?" Yuan Feishuang's tone was unfriendly, but because his voice was narrow and soft, and the pitch was not high, it had a hint of affection.
It turned out that he knew why she came. Di Fei was shocked and felt guilty, so he immediately comforted him, "How can they compare to you."
Yuan Feishuang curled his eyes, "Then please don't come here in the future, okay? Let Lei Sai come by himself. He doesn't have any sincerity at all. He is more arrogant than a real nobleman. Not to mention whether he can win Xue Chen's eyes, he deserves to be punished."
"Let's not talk about this." Di Fei was shocked, "Why are you throwing a tantrum in front of Mr. Xue? Forget it this time. I will bring you to apologize another day."
"What apology? I think you still have to be a lobbyist for Lei Sai."
"Junior brother..."
"It's already like this, do you still want to speak for him?" Yuan Feishuang lost his aggressive momentum and depressed, "Even if he saved the master's life and obeyed his orders for so many years, he should repay it."
Di Fei was shocked and had no choice but to remain silent.
Yuan Feishuang: "Who is more important, me or Lei Shou?"
Di Fei was surprised: "You are my junior brother, and he is my superior, how can you compare?"
"I knew it." Yuan Feishuang took a breath, his voice trembling, and said in a depressed tone.
"In times of crisis, I can't abandon him."
"He will kill you sooner or later! I will also be killed by him! If that day really comes, don't regret it!"
Yuan Feishuang said, and left angrily with Qinggong.
"Junior brother!"
Di Fei was surprised and raised his hand to hold him, but Yuan Feishuang was too fast, he only touched the slightly cool corner of his clothes, and disappeared before he could hold it tightly.
System: [Why do you say that Lei Shou will kill him and you? 】
Yuan Feishuang climbed over the wall and landed lightly: 【Brother, it is obvious that you are willing to sacrifice your life for Lei Shou. Even if Lei Shou asked him to die, he might not hesitate. If it really comes to that, I will definitely not stand idly by and watch. I will be dragged to death sooner or later.】
System: 【No wonder you are so angry. You keep asking him who is more important between you and Lei Shou. Di Fei was surprised. Is this reaction to choose to stand on Lei Shou's side?】
【Yes.】
System: 【Why is he like this? It's too heartless.】
Xue Chen: 【You can't say that. This is different from the disagreement between me and Lian'er. My brother and I have similar values and the same goals. We can see who is right and who is wrong at a glance. 】
Yuan Feishuang returned to the Taiping Palace. Gong Jiu was still in his original body. He didn't want to argue with his brother now, so he went back to the guest room next door.
System: [I think you are right. Di Feijing is wrong. Di Feijing will definitely regret it in the future.]
[You can't say that.] Yuan Feishuang poured a glass of water, [Senior brother did this, but it actually has nothing to do with Lei Shu. It's just that he is a good person. If someone else saved Senior brother, Senior brother would do the same. This time, the dispute seems to require him to choose between me and Lei Shu, but in fact it is a choice between me and his original heart.]
System: [!!! You are changing the concept, you are so mean!]
Xue Chen: [Where am I mean! Don't slander me! 】
System:【Then why don't you make it clear? What if Di Feijing is misled by you? Wouldn't that delay him?】
Xue Chen:【First of all, my senior brother knows very well what he is doing. Secondly, making a decision is just the beginning, and there will definitely be changes in the future. In the end, my senior brother and I have different ideas, just like two armies fighting each other. Even if both sides have feelings, it is impossible to show mercy.
【If I hadn't been so strong, my senior brother would definitely lock me up in the Six and a Half Hall and not allow me to interact with the original body. I just took the initiative. Think about it carefully. Before Cai Jing died, did my senior brother persuade me and send people to monitor me when he knew that I was interacting with the original body?】
【It seems so. 】
【Just like some people think that lying down is a happy life, while others think that struggling is the only way to live a worthwhile life, everyone wants different things, and the answers they get are also different. 】
【Then what are you doing now? 】
Aren't you forcing Di Feijing to compromise?
【I'm not a saint. 】 Xue Chen said righteously, 【Look at how my senior brother treats me. It's impossible to live in peace under such a competitive state. Even if I take a step back, my senior brother's choice has nothing to do with Lei Shuo himself. As long as my senior brother thinks it through, it doesn't matter if Lei Shuo dies. 】
System: 【It seems to make sense. 】
【You just said that after taking care of the host, part of the memory will be cleared. Then you should have some impression of the previous host. Tell me about it. 】
The system asked cautiously: 【Sharing a system with others, don’t you feel uncomfortable?】
Xue Chen: 【No, it’s not like we’re sharing a pair of pants.】
System: 【……】
It was harsh, but I felt respected for some reason. It seemed to have changed from a private property to a free system, and had left the ranks of pants.
【Okay then. I don't remember much, so don't scold me.】The system hesitated, 【I don't know how many hosts I have led, but I remember that the first host was a naive person who didn't know anything and asked me for help when he encountered problems. At that time, I was still a novice system and couldn't help him too much. In the end, the mission failed, alas.
【The next few hosts are very vague, and I can't remember the order. Sometimes I can only remember a little after you do similar things. But it seems that not all of them are using vests? Some are powerful, some are not, but none of them are as unpredictable as you. Working with you, I have a very new feeling, as if I am working on a system for the first time.】
Xue Chen: 【That's all?】
System: 【That's all.】
Xue Chen: 【Do you still remember the names of those hosts? 】
System: [I don't remember, I can't remember any of them, I just remember that they were all men... There seemed to be a woman? Eh? Was it a man or a woman? 】
Xue Chen: [What happens if the mission fails? 】
The system lay here, almost forgetting what Xue Chen's mission was, until it was scolded by the boss last time and then corrected its attitude: [How could it fail? At most, I will open a few more vests until your soul is repaired. 】
Xue Chen: [So, my mission is different from that of the other hosts you lead? Didn't you scrap the vest system? 】
[Yes. 】
The system reacted and fell into deep silence.
Xue Chen controlled several vests to come in front of the mirror together.
This doesn't look like a naive person.
The system looked here and there: [What are you doing? Is this some mysterious ritual? It's scary. 】
Xue Chen: [The reward after completing the mission is to repair my soul? 】
System: [This should be considered the result of training the soul under a vest, not a real reward. When you have repaired your soul, the main system can fulfill one of your wishes, anything within the rules. Then you can go home! 】
Xue Chen was uninterested: [Oh. 】
A figure suddenly appeared in front of the original mirror.
The two wore clothes of similar colors, with exactly the same appearance and demeanor.
Gong Jiu: "Brother, what are you looking at?"
Xue Chen smiled, "What do you think?"
"Of course he's looking at me." Gong Jiu noticed that he was distracted, and reached out to hold his brother's arm to attract his attention, "Brother, are you worried about Liufenbantang? Liufenbantang is at the end of its road, with no choice left. Is there something behind this that I haven't thought of?"
"No." Xue Chen relaxed a little and leaned against him, "I was just thinking, if father ascends the throne, the prince should be you."
"If you really think so, you can just look at me directly, why bother looking in the mirror. Are you lying to me because you're afraid that I'll be sad?" Gong Jiu didn't look sad at all, he said seriously, "I don't care about status, nothing is more important to me than you, if you want it, just take it."
Xue Chen: "I'm the same as you."
Gong Jiu was startled and held his hand.
Xue Chen: "What's annoying is that father seems to be the same."
Gong Jiu thought of what King Taiping said and nodded in agreement.
Although the eldest brother didn't hear his father's analysis of his heart, he knew clearly what his father was thinking.
Xue Chen: "He came to power out of necessity. He may be able to endure it for three to five years, but after a long time, he will inevitably get bored. We don't know what power will transform him into. We must be prepared."
Transformation...
Gong Jiu thought the word was a bit scary, as if those who hold great power have become less human. If you think about it carefully, those in lower positions will indeed lose their original intentions unknowingly when they are in power. It's just that the power is uncontrolled, and the people below obey him. They have never thought about these changes, but instead they are yearning for them.
What his brother said is really a wake-up call.
Gong Jiu: "Brother, what are you going to do?"
Xue Chen: "I just had an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible. It's still early, I'll think about it."
Gong Jiu: "Will you tell me when you've made up your mind?"
Xue Chen smiled as he looked at the two figures in the mirror, pinched his face, and said, "Let's talk later."
It's been a long time since I saw my brother so lively. Gong Jiu thought silently.
If my brother didn't tell me, he probably wouldn't tell my father either. My father
told him so much, and he told his brother, but he didn't take it to heart at all.
I hope my father won't be too angry by then, otherwise he might get sick because he's being punished for my brother.
