Although Ren Yaoqi was somewhat surprised by Xiao Jingxi's words, he was not overwhelmed by the surprise and asked his doubts.
Xiao Jingxi smiled upon hearing this and consoled him, "So this matter still needs an opportunity." He thought for a moment and added, "Not yet. The opportunity hasn't arrived yet. We have to wait a little longer."
Ren Yaoqi nodded. She was a little curious about what exactly Xiao Jingxi meant by the opportunity, but seeing that Xiao Jingxi didn't seem to want to explain it to her in detail, she didn't ask any further questions. Since Xiao Jingxi said so, it meant that he had a certain degree of confidence in the matter, and Ren Yaoqi could still believe this.
The two walked along, and although they were not walking fast, Merlin's exit was about to arrive.
Xiao Jingxi suddenly asked, "I heard that you also have a pair of twin maids?"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jingxi and was a little surprised when he heard this: "Well, he is still being raised at my grandparents' house, learning some martial arts from others."
Xiao Jingxi was probably referring to Leshan and Leshui. Ren Yaoqi would sometimes see these two sisters when he went to Prince Xian's mansion. They practiced very diligently and had made great progress over the past few years. Ren Yaoqi himself didn't know martial arts, so he couldn't comment on the quality of others' martial arts. However, from what Xia Sheng had said, these two girls were promising talents and could be considered his top disciples. Ren Yaoqi planned to find an opportunity to bring them back next year.
But how did Xiao Jingxi know about the existence of Leshan and Leshui? What was the point of asking her this now?
Ren Yaoqi thought of Nanxing who had just been with Xiao Jingxi and Hongying who had been with Xiao Jinglin, and couldn't help but jokingly asked, "Why? Master Xiao wants to ask me for someone again?"
Ren Yaoqi emphasized the word "again". After hearing this, Xiao Jingxi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He knew that Ren Yaoqi was remembering that he had taken Tongxi and Zhu Ruomei from her, and was mocking him.
However, he still smiled seriously and retorted, "How could that be? Am I that short of people?"
Ren Yaoqi glanced at Xiao Jingxi and smiled without saying anything.
She was thinking, even if Xiao Jingxi really took a fancy to Le Shan and Le Shui and asked her for them, she would not give them to them. She had spent years cultivating these people, and Xiao Jingxi wanted to leave as soon as he saw them. How could it be so easy?
Xiao Jingxi coughed lightly and said, "Twins have similar appearances and are connected in mind. If they are properly trained, they can sometimes be of unexpected use. For example, Hongying and Nanxing can do things that others cannot do."
Hearing what Xiao Jingxi said, Ren Yaoqi thought of how Nanxing had just portrayed Hongying almost flawlessly.
"So, I'm just asking if you would like to hand the person over to me first, and then take them back after they've been trained, so as to avoid wasting talent." Xiao Jingxi was afraid that Ren Yaoqi would misunderstand that he was trying to snatch the person from her again, so he said carefully, "Also, if you give the person to me as the princess or princess, it will be more convenient for you to use them in the future."
Xiao Jingxi's words made Ren Yaoqi's heart move. What Xiao Jingxi said made sense. If Le Shan and Le Shui came out of Yanbei Palace, it would indeed be more beneficial for their future actions.
If she brought them back herself, Le Shan and Le Shui would become servants of the Ren family. Before she left the Ren family, the old man and old lady of the Ren family had the right to dispose of them. But with the background of the Yanbei Palace, no one except herself would have the courage to dictate to her servants. Furthermore, allowing Le Shan and Le Shui to learn more would naturally only benefit them.
