C296 (2/2)

Geng Wenshu put down the teacup, and the corner of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

He was a little suspicious now. Was it really true that they were taking the initiative to look for this group of people? Why did he feel so helpless? It felt like he was no longer in control.

This was not the meeting and recruitment he had originally planned for …

But what did he just say?

Geng Wenshu, who felt like he was being led astray, was stunned for a moment. He recalled the topic they were discussing earlier, Yan Xiao said that the things here were not bad, and Jian Mo wanted to buy them …

Heh heh, no one would say such words in front of a main character like him.

No, that's not right, Jian Mo and Yan Xiao's conversation was not like that. That means he wanted to recruit and bring up the matter of offending Geng Wenxin and the others.

Yan Xiao had only said one sentence.

Geng Wenshu looked across from him and said something in a low voice. Yan Xiao replied, took the tea cup and raised her head, quietly waiting for a reply.

He already felt that something was amiss, even if he was not favored, compared to the attention the First Prince Geng Wentao and Third Princess Geng Wenxin received, he was still a prince, this was a fact that could not be changed. Adding to that, there were a group of officials in the imperial court who were more inclined to support the direct line of descent.

His knowledge was not something that an ordinary person could compare with.

In fact, since the Twin Terra respected the strong, there wasn't much discrimination between men and women. However, in reality, the strong men were much stronger than the strong women.

Warriors were divided into two types. They were mainly trained by the body. Basically, they were all trained by those big shots. If one became strong, then it would be unbearable for a woman to think about it.

The other type of swordsman was much less than body cultivators. Half of them were male, so it seemed like there were not many female cultivators with true strength. In the long run, females were still considered weaker than males.

Not to mention others, even in the capital, how many young women from prestigious families who were raised and had more cultivation resources than ordinary people still hoped to be able to get married into high-branch families?

In short, a large portion of women's thoughts were on marrying a better partner, regardless of whether they were gifted or not. Thus, in the process of getting along with others, they would naturally be a bit shorter than others.

Even Geng Wenxin might not be able to do this, but Geng Wenshu suddenly realised that Yan Xiao was different.

She knew that she was brothers with Jian Huan and the others, and how she revealed her identity. He was not clear about that, but to be able to make people feel that it was normal, it was probably because Yan Xiao had never shown any sign of fear when facing the outstanding man beside him.

There was no one who could understand this more than he could experience it for himself.

Even if she was a woman, she didn't have such a sense of understanding. Being together with Jian Mo this naturally looked weird, but at the same time, it also seemed ambiguous and warm, and at the same time, equal to being on the same level as him.

Now that she thought about it carefully, it seemed as if Yan Xiao had never feared him. Even when facing his royal father, Geng Wenxin, or him, or anyone else, that kind of arrogance and respect deep in his bones, was what made him feel that something was amiss.

Because she really did not seem to be afraid. Was that arrogance or did she have confidence?

This self-confidence wasn't because of Jian Mo. Could it be because she was a medicinal master?

Geng Wenshu thought for a while, but could not think of anything, it was just that from the beginning, he only wanted to win them over, and let Jian Mo and Yan Xiao become his advisors and helpers. In that short period of time, he changed his mind.

Could he really command such a person?

Geng Wenshu thought about it carefully, and felt fear. He did not know if it was on purpose or if it was normal, but he knew that when he saw them, all of his steps were disrupted.

Naturally, they are the kind of people who habitually give orders. You want to command them?

If it was intentional, then it was even scarier!

Geng Wenshu laughed: ”So, we have a common enemy, and in the capital, I can provide you with a certain amount of convenience, but I wonder, do I have the honor to ally with you guys?”

Yan Xiao smiled and did not speak. She stood up and held Geng Wenshu's hand: ”It's an honor.”

Geng Wenshu's expression was extremely subtle. Hey, what's the meaning of holding my hand so tightly? With that cautious gaze of yours, I definitely won't assume that you have your eyes on me!

Geng Wenshu looked at Yan Xiao who had a pure and obedient smile, and then looked at Jian Mo who had a stern expression, and for some reason, he felt his entire body becoming cold.
