Ye Jiushang thought that given Xue Fanxin's temperament, she would definitely get angry and show off her fangs to him. Suddenly…
A second ago, Xue Fanxin was still furious, but the next second, she stopped and returned to her seat. He kept eating chicken feet and his delicious food. His appetite was not affected by what had just happened. He smiled wickedly and said, “If you want to marry me, we should see if you can do it. Even if you have the ability to make me marry you, it is unknown if you can make me your companion.“
Although Xue Fanxin's attitude changed very quickly, Ye Jiushang was not weak either. She said with a mysterious smile, "I believe that someday, you will willingly marry me and become my true companion."
“Let's wait and see later.”
"certain."
“Cih...” Xue Fanxin did not bother to waste her expression on Ye Jiushang. He rolled his eyes at her and then turned his attention back to the delicious food. He continued to eat, throwing everything else behind his mind.
Originally, Ye Jiushang had only noticed Xue Fanxin because her blood contained the power of nirvana and she was curious about her identity. But now, he was really interested in her.
When ordinary people found out that he was the Ninth Imperial Uncle, they would be so frightened that their limbs would tremble and they would speak indistinctly. They did not even dare to raise their heads in front of him.
However, after this girl learned of his identity, not only did she not fear, she even dared to oppose him. He glared at her and was not at all afraid of her authority.
Although he was a little overconfident and brash, he found a fresh, agile, pitiful, and greedy side that was pleasing to the eye.
He was quite satisfied with the appearance of this girl today, so he reluctantly accepted her identity as his would-be companion.
Xue Fanxin did not waste her breath for Ye Jiushang. After eating and drinking until he was full, he patted his stomach and left. “Grandfather, take care of 'your honorable guest.' I'll go back to my room.”
"Little xin'er, you...." Xue Batian wanted to tell Xue Fanxin to stay, but before she finished speaking, Ye Jiushang cut her off. “A month later, it will be the third day of the big sects recruiting new disciples. Although the Nanling Empire is small, sects will also come here to recruit disciples. Each sect will probably have a point or two.”
"Continue?" Xue Fanxin showed no interest.
"I want you to enter the Heavenly Spirit Sect."
"I won't let you take your path."
"You will do what I want unless you do not want to give the Duke's Residence a chance to live."
When Xue Fanxin heard this, she raised her eyebrows and asked with a hint of displeasure, “What do you mean by that? Are you threatening me?”
“Although I have helped the Xue family army through the current crisis, it does not mean Emperor Nanling will let them go. Giving rations is just a way to treat the symptoms but not the root of the problem. If you want the Xue family army to survive, including your grandfather, then you must think of a way to become stronger and find supporters. Currently, the Heavenly Spirit Sect is the most suitable choice.”
After hearing Ye Jiushang's explanation, Xue Fanxin's brows furrowed even more. These words make sense.
Emperor Nanling had long worried about the morale of the Xue family. He wanted to weaken the power of the Duke's Residence and even eliminate Xue Batian.
To his grandfather and himself, he could not just sit back and do nothing.
Ye Jiushang did not stay long in the Dukes' Residence. He left right after eating. He came gracefully and left in the same way. He carried three layers of guards, isolating everyone from the outside world. Anyone who tried to approach him would be blocked by his bodyguards.
This was one of the reasons why it was difficult for outsiders to meet with the Ninth Imperial Uncle.
There were rumors that the Ninth Empire's Uncle was unusually handsome and unfathomable. His whereabouts are unpredictable, and he often disappears. He had disappeared for over half a year recently and suddenly reappeared a few days ago.
In short, to most people, the Ninth Imperial Uncle was a mystery.
Who will love someone they have never seen before and often disappear without a trace?
Li Yaoyao had heard of the Ninth Empire's Uncle before, but that was only through rumors. Moreover, such a person was too far away from him. He never harbored any thoughts about her.
But today, he had accidentally seen the blurry figure of the Ninth Imperial Uncle from afar. His heart was immediately drawn to her.
A person so noble, mysterious, and powerful was the other half that was perfect in his heart.
Just by looking at the profile of the Ninth Empire's Uncle, Li Yaoyao's admiration for him reached the point where he was unable to break free. Coupled with his status, strength, and authority, all of them were the ones he wanted the most in his heart.
If ... if she could become the woman of the Ninth Empire's Uncle, then she could ...
With this thought in mind, Li Yaoyao involuntarily walked towards the distant Ninth Imperial Uncle. However, after taking a few steps, he was stopped.
"Stop. Unauthorized people should not disturb the Ninth Imperial Uncle, or they will be killed without exception.”
“I am a cousin of Young Miss of the Duke's Residence. I'm not an outsider, am I?” Li Yaoyao said shamelessly. He was eager to get close to Ninth Empire's Uncle, so even though he knew that he was going to hit the wall, he still wanted to give it a try.
“The Ninth Imperial Court has ordered that other than the Duke and Miss Xue Fanxin, no one else may approach within a hundred feet.”
“Xue Fanxin, this is Xue Fanxin again.” Li Yaoyao cursed softly. He threw a sharp glare towards Xue Fanxin, who was chatting happily with the Ninth Imperial Uncle in the distance. He wished he could tear her apart.
Xue Fanxin was forced by Xue Batian to send Ye Jiushang away. When he reached the door, he felt a sinister look at him. Therefore, he turned his head and happened to meet Li Yaoyao's evil gaze, smiling coldly.
Because he had awakened his spirit, his five senses were many times stronger than ordinary people. Although he was far away, he could still clearly see Li Yaoyao's ferocious expression.
Ye Jiushang naturally knew that Li Yaoyao was nearby and was even more aware of the killing intent she was expressing. However, this little fry is not worth paying attention to. Therefore, from the beginning to the end, he did not even look at her. All his attention was on Xue Fanxin. He deliberately stroked her head attentively and said, “The woman is a small venomous snake. If you do not get rid of him quickly, he will bite sooner or later.”
"Don't worry, the show's about to start."
“You mean Lian Bingyu?”
Xue Fanxin rolled her eyes towards Ye Jiushang. Pointing towards him, he said angrily, "You spied on me?"
"Wrong." Ye Jiushang released Xue Fanxin's finger and smiled casually. "I'm only interested in you and what you want to do."
“You better not ruin my plan, otherwise.”.
"Not only will I not bother you, but if you need help, I will help."
"Hmph, take care of your own business."
"Little girl, you have a great temperament." Ye Jiushang used his hand to gently flick Xue Fanxin's forehead. Then, he whispered into his ear, "Tonight at midnight, I'll come and look for you."
"What do you mean?" When Xue Fanxin thought about Ye Jiushang still coming to disturb her in the middle of the night, her heart burned with anger. He wanted to reprimand her, but that person had already boarded the carriage and disappeared.
That damned Ye Jiushang. What is he planning now?
