Let Me Explain, Fairy-Chapter 78 - Seventy-Two Opinions
78: Chapter Seventy-Two: Opinions
78 -Seventy-Two: Opinions
After reading it carefully, Xu Yuan let out a long sigh.
These days, he had already seen many internal references.
Even though they were all the lowest third class, he had a rough idea of what the rest of Dayan’s territories were like.
Yet, the true state of the northern battles still seemed somewhat absurd to him.
Putting down the internal reference, Xu Yuan leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples hard, sighing:
“It’s too rotten….”
No sooner had he spoken than Xu Yuan laughed helplessly.
Because he realized that he seemed to have no right to say such a thing.
In the Prime Minister’s Mansion, in the northern borderland, they too had their own influence.
Among the Grade Fifth Integration Body deputy generals who were blasted into mush by Princess Jiu, there was someone from his own family.
But in truth, under such circumstances, it was really very difficult to accomplish anything.
If you were fighting bloodily at the front, although you might not get stabbed in the back by allies, having your rewards snatched away was highly likely.
Apart from truly selfless people, who would want to be such a scapegoat?
This is a world competing in rottenness.
Thinking about it, Xu Yuan still couldn’t help but criticize:
“But it truly is too rotten…..”
“What’s too rotten?”
Before the words were finished, a voice tinged with seductive nuances drifted up from the entrance of the library loft.
Looking up.
White silk stockings, an item that increases agility.
Reorganizing his words,
Xu Yuan’s gaze moved upwards, observing the succubus-like lady who had walked out from the midst of the simple bookshelves.
She wore a dress similar to a cheongsam made of silk, wrapped in a fur coat, her lotus steps revealing glimpses of fair skin on the sides of her thighs as she moved.
Xu Yuan gave a focused smile, pointed at the internal reference on the table beside the bed:
“Nothing much, I’m just looking at some information related to the northern battles.”
Su Jinxuan walked slowly to Xu Yuan, her flawless face showing a slight surprise:
“Don’t all you young masters like to indulge in romantic affairs?”
“State affairs, family affairs, world affairs, now that I can cultivate, I ought to care about them,” Xu Yuan said, lifting his teacup and taking a sip before speaking softly:
“What brings you here?”
Su Jinxuan’s expression revealed a hint of well-placed vexation, and she chuckled with pursed lips:
“I didn’t want to come over either, but someone earlier told me to be more self-aware.
I had no choice but to find that person.”
While speaking,
her dark eyes blossomed with pink peach blossoms.
A few grains of a mind-bewitching seed entered Xu Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness and attached themselves to his Will-spirit.
Xu Yuan looked at her and sensed carefully, clearly feeling that these mind-bewitching seeds had grown significantly stronger.
He understood somewhat why Qin Weijiu deliberately removed the cultivation method of the mind-bewitching seed.
It had been merely three days since he imparted the Secret Technique to her.
Pausing,
Xu Yuan glanced at the endless blue sky outside:
“It’s still daytime; you should come back later.”
Su Jinxuan didn’t leave, instead sitting beside Xu Yuan, smiling as she retorted:
“It’s not like we’re consummating a marriage; does it make any difference whether it’s day or night?”
“…..” Xu Yuan.
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan burned those third-class internal references with a burst of fire, stood up, and said:
“There’s no difference in either, but since we’re idle, let’s go then.”
His words took Su Jinxuan aback for a moment, then her peach blossom eyes curved into crescents, and she said with a smile:
“Alright~ but Jin Xuan’s body has just recovered, I hope the young master can be gentler and more considerate today…..”
“…..”
Listening to the words coming from behind, Xu Yuan glanced back at the demoness who was smiling like a fox.
He suddenly felt that,
what Auntie Lou Ji said made a lot of sense.
Although cultivation was important, one should still occasionally visit the Hook Bars to relax.
Tsk,
A demoness disrupts my path of cultivation.
As he walked down the stairs, Xu Yuan softly asked,
“Haven’t seen you at the training ground these past two days, have you been cultivating all along?”
Su Jinxuan followed behind him with light steps:
“Not entirely, focusing on the cultivation of the Bewildering Spirit Seed for too long will harm the Sea of Consciousness.” ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Xu Yuan sighed slightly.
Su Jinxuan’s activities during the remaining time had already been communicated to him by Lou Ji.
She was under the ‘training’ of Ying’er.
“If you encounter difficulties, you can go to the steward of the mansion and ask for a bottle of Soul Condensing Pills.”
The Soul Condensing Pill, a fifth-grade elixir made from the souls of demonic specters, had supportive effects on the cultivation of the will-spirit.
The standard price was around three hundred taels per pill, with a bottle costing several thousand taels.
Having managed mundane industries, Su Jinxuan naturally understood its value.
After a silent few breaths, she gently shook her head.
For him, several thousand taels were nothing, but for her, it was far too precious.
Although she often handled tens of thousands of silver taels while managing businesses, all of it belonged to the Tianyu Sect.
The steward’s monthly salary, coupled with the allowance of a miss, meant she received about two hundred taels a month.
Obligations are too heavy, and hard to repay.
“Thank you, but I’ll pass…”
Xu Yuan glanced at her and let out a light chuckle.
Refusing shows dignity, very good.
“If you consider it precious, actually the secret technique I gave you is even more valuable, with a market price of around fifty thousand taels.
You can just think of it as my additional investment in you.”
“…” Su Jinxuan didn’t speak.
Seeing her reaction, Xu Yuan did not press on and instead spoke softly,
“By the way, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.”
“…..”
Upon hearing this, Su Jinxuan’s heartbeat inexplicably quickened, and after a moment’s pause, she said softly, “You may speak.”
As the two reached the bottom of the stairs and exited the library, a beautiful, secluded wetland lake lay outside.
Xu Yuan looked towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake and spoke softly,
“The Black Scale Guards from Imperial Capital told me that Qin Weijiu might have someone behind him.”
Su Jinxuan’s voice remained steady:
“Mhm.”
“Your parents…
um, that incident back then…
Tsk, the one behind Qin Weijiu…
Tsk, forget it.”
After considering his words, Xu Yuan still decided to ask directly,
“The Black Scale Guards suspect that there is someone behind Qin Weijiu and hope you can act as an inside agent once you’re back by his side.
What do you think?”
“Me?”
Surprised on the surface, Su Jinxuan’s heart rate picked up again, but she maintained a calm voice, with a hint of self-mockery, “Does my opinion matter?”
“Of course, it does.”
Xu Yuan glanced at her, “If you’re unwilling, forcing you to go would only backfire.”
“….”
Su Jinxuan’s chest rose and fell slightly, and she lowered her gaze, still unable to see her toes:
“Hmm…
then what’s your opinion?”
