Xu Chen nodded. "Alright, I'll go ask her right away, but I don't know whether she'll agree. I can only do my best."
Jiang Qingyi nodded. "Thank you."
Xu Chen waved a hand. "No need to thank me. It's a small matter."
With that, Xu Chen vanished from where he stood.
When he appeared again, he was already beside Jiang Xiaoran.
Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Xiaoran swung her sword at him, thrusting straight for Xu Chen's vital point.
"Fuck!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoran like this, Xu Chen immediately dodged aside.
He bared his teeth. "Come on, miss, I was out there working my ass off to help you get rid of Jiang Qingyi, and the moment you come back, you stab at me? Are you trying to murder your husband?"
Jiang Xiaoran snorted coldly. "You know exactly what you just said. How dare you?"
Xu Chen coughed and immediately said,
"It was an expedient measure, an expedient measure. Wasn't it to make Jiang Qingyi believe it?"
"Right?"
"If I didn't say you liked handsome men and liked clinging to me, would she have given up?"
"Honestly, think about it. I worked myself to the bone and still didn't get the Imperial Dao."
"And now you want to kill me? Inhumane, absolutely inhumane!"
"Ah, sorrow. What sorrow indeed!"
Jiang Xiaoran snorted coldly. "You know exactly what you just said. How dare you?"
Xu Chen coughed and immediately said,
"It was an expedient measure, an expedient measure. Wasn't it to make Jiang Qingyi believe it? Right?"
"If I didn't say you liked handsome men and liked clinging to me, would she have given up?"
"Honestly, think about it. I worked myself to the bone and still didn't get the Imperial Dao."
"And now you want to kill me?
