Chapter 14: Plan (1)

Zhu Xianyao stood at theand gazed off into the distance For soy

Su Chen stood right behind her, not daring to speak

At this moment, they were in Zhu Xianyao’s chambers More specifically, they were in the chambers that Pall had prepared for Zhu Xianyao

Su Chen didn’t knohy Zhu Xianyao had suddenly called him over He could only stand in the corner, reatest source of protection

Aand I were young, ere good friends Back then, ould often go together to catch fish in the river and cli for bird nests like wild little boys Xianling’s teot into an argument with someone, she would stand off to the side and cry, and I would always stick up for her I re bullied by one of Second Uncle’s boys I walked over there and gave that bastard a beating, then dragged hi said that havingthat had ever happened to her

Su Chen lowered his head and didn’t say anything

Evidently, He Xu’s lie had triggered a certain state of mind in which she had fully immersed herself

This kind of mood needed to be vented before it could be lifted Put plainly, she just needed an audience

But he didn’t knohy she had chosen him

Zhu Xianyao continued, “But I don’t knohen Xianling stopped thinking about us this way She grew to hate this older sister of hers because she felt likethe position of the Zhu Clan’s Clan Patriarch She felt like she was better than e, so she wasn’t satisfied with the situation Eventually, she and I couldn’t see eye-to-eye And I was so headstrong at the ti her to do this and that because ofher to listen to me…… Her unhappiness with me is also probably due to ot to this point, Zhu Xianyao’s voice was already very heavy “The battle at the Hidden Dragon Institute was the greatest loss I have ever suffered in my whole life Uncle Eleven died, and I even lost my memories of that period of time I was even fed a bunch of lies by a bunch of people My clan was then even involved in a conflict between the six Bloodline nobility Clans and the Immortal Temple”

When he heard this, Su Chen felt his heart start pounding

She knew about it?

Zhu Xianyao continued, “Xianling felt like her time had come She tried to pull influence from anywhere she could, all in an attempt to ruin my status as the successor However, she was still a bit too hasty, and I gave her quite the lesson Do you think what I did was right?”

Su Chen didn’t knohat kind of punishiven her He could only nod his head and say, “However you punished her, you were right”

Zhu Xianyao didn’t feel any happiness though She sighed, “I knew you would say that Tianyang, you’re a good person Even though your appearance is not spectacular and you are very lazy, that’s not your fault……”

Su Chen’s forehead was drenched in sweat He thought to hiood job for yourself! Not only did you earn yourself the evaluation of not having a spectacular appearance and being very lazy, she even said that it wasn’t your fault!’

“I kno that I was a bit too e and Xianling’s challenge finally gave me a chance to let it out…… I shouldn’t have humiliated her like that” Zhu Xianyao shook her head repeatedly “Actually, I regret it a lot now I apologized afterwards, but I know that she didn’t accept it She is so proud and arrogant; how could she resign herself to a fate of losing toI just didn’t expect that…… I didn’t expect that she would do sorew more depressed, and her countenance was heavy

Yes, assassination and fighting for a position were different The former indicated that all bets were off Even when Su Chen and Su Keji had fought with each other in the past, they had never reached the point of trying to assassinate each other

One could only say that this lie had dealt Zhu Xianyao quite the blow

After thinking for a while longer, Zhu Xianyao then said, “Forget about it, there’s no point in talking with you about these things I’m very thankful for what you said today, and I’ you’ve done forto the same realm If you’re seht for a moment, then said, “I want an opportunity”

“Opportunity?” Zhu Xianyao was stunned

“Yes!” Su Chen nodded “An opportunity to prove myself If you haven’t fallen for me by the end of this eive me another opportunity to prove myself?”
