(The ending of the previous chapter was revised; I forgot that Xin Xin got a bye.)
When Cheng Huaijin came on stage, not only Prince Tiantian watched intently, but Shi Mu also watched very intently, and Shi Mu's gaze was somewhat different from Prince Tiantian's.
Gu Xin and Lu Zheng, who had been watching Shi Mu closely, both noticed it.
“Brother Yuanyuan, Shi Mu definitely has ulterior motives towards Xue’er, otherwise he wouldn’t be looking at my brother with such a dangerous gaze,” Gu Xin concluded.
"Let's ask Xue'er later and see if she remembers ever seeing Shi Mu. This Shi Mu is indeed much more dangerous than Princess Nanlin and Prince Tiantian," Lu Zheng said thoughtfully.
"The way he looks at my brother is like he's looking at an enemy, like he's stolen his most precious possession. Hey, Yuanyuan, if he were to face off against my brother, who do you think would win?" Gu Xin nodded, then asked.
"It's hard to say. Xiao Jin's kung fu is very good, but Shi Mu is definitely not bad either. When he was sparring just now, it was like he was just playing around with his sword. He didn't even use 30% of his skills," Lu Zheng analyzed.
"Sigh, these three places are such a hassle! It would be so much better if the princes and princesses in the West lived a simple life!" Gu Xin sighed.
“The people in the Western Lands mostly face their own local forces, while the people from these three places mostly face unknown pirates. Those selected from the Western Lands to come to the Great Zhou, aside from those like Helian Yi who have experienced war, are mostly from peaceful regions and don't engage in conflict. The people selected from these three places, like Xiao Jin and Helian Yi, have all experienced foreign wars. They might seem a bit foolish on the surface, but they are definitely not like that on the inside. Otherwise, their parents or rulers would never have trusted them to lead the delegation,” Lu Zheng said.
“I also think that the frog prince and the pig princess are deliberately acting stupid. I wonder what kind of conspiracy they’re plotting behind the scenes. Bai Er told me that the pig princess has even hooked up with Lu Ni. Does she think that just because Lu Ni is your sister, she can get you so easily?” Gu Xin said disdainfully.
Although she didn't have anyone monitor these people at the embassy, Gu Xin was fully aware of what Prince Tian Tian and Princess Nan Lin were doing outside.
"Perhaps they just want us to think they're that stupid? They're doing it on purpose, and then using some idiots." Lu Zheng sneered.
He knew better than anyone else what his stepmother, Madam Lin, and her children were up to.
He didn't do anything big, just small things. He watched them plot slowly, and at the last moment, he would let them know what it meant to reap what you sow.
Gu Xin looked at Lu Zheng with eyes full of admiration; all of this was under her Yuan Yuan's control!
Her brother Yuanyuan is really amazing.
With her by his side, she felt like she didn't need to use her brain at all; using her brain was such a waste of energy!
"Brother Yuanyuan, you must never go to places like the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Justice in the future!" Gu Xin suddenly said.
Lu Zheng was taken aback and looked at Gu Xin with confusion.
“If you go, I won’t have a chance to use my skills. You can’t take my job. You should do something else, like training soldiers or something,” Gu Xin said seriously.
Lu Zheng smiled helplessly.
"Really, don't laugh. You have to promise me, okay? When I'm with you, my brain doesn't want to work!" Gu Xin grabbed Lu Zheng's arm and shook it.
