Chapter 401: 221. They fight holding the handle
“Push a bit harder, yes, right there, a bit more force, ah, that feels good.”
Under a thinly scattered moon and stars with lanterns just lit, a dangerous transaction was unfolding within the City Lord’s Mansion.
Mo Xianxian lay on a soft couch, her peach blossom eyes slightly squinting, a comfortable expression appearing on her delicate face.
“Can’t you refrain from saying things that might easily be misunderstood?”
Xu Yuan, somewhat helpless, gently pressed his hands on her soft and exquisite back.
“Giggle, if they misunderstand, that’s their problem, not mine. If they really misunderstand, wouldn’t I be even happier?”
...
Mo Xianxian looked at him with twinkling eyes. “Besides, don’t forget, you’re the one in need of my help now.”
“...”
After a brief silence, Xu Yuan realized he truly had no rebuttal at the moment.
Or rather, he dared not to rebut.
“So, what brings you to me?”
A faint smile formed on her exquisitely pale face.
“You really don’t know?”
Xu Yuan glanced at her.
“How could I possibly know?”
Mo Xianxian hummed twice and said.
“I can’t believe you didn’t notice the commotion outside.”
Xu Yuan said lightly.
Time rewound to an hour earlier.
In the second floor of the tavern, facing the conditions Xu Yuan had proposed,
“I, with just my mouth and body, definitely can’t outtalk or outmatch them, so I might as well make them speechless.”
Tao Yaoyao acknowledged her weaknesses—she was not eloquent.
Therefore, she could only make them unable to speak by crushing their confidence, only then might she have a chance.
This approach seemed the most foolish, but it was actually the simplest.
Thus, she left.
Liu Ruoxue and Lin Qingque did not leave; although they had just shown clear support for him, Xu Yuan always felt like they had other motives.
And this motive soon revealed itself.
When Xu Yuan was about to discuss the upcoming Saint Heir selection with An Yulan, he found the two closely following behind him.
“You two...what do you intend to do?”
“What’s wrong? Do you dislike me now, Brother, not even allowing me to follow you?”
Lin Qingque showed a pitiful expression: “I’m just worried about Brother, afraid that some bad woman will deceive him. After all, not every woman is as considerate and caring about Brother as I am.”
Her deliberately laden words made it hard for Xu Yuan to keep a straight face.
He knew Lin Qingque was doing it on purpose, but considering her recent support for him, he did not want to be too stern with her.
He did not respond to her, instead, he looked towards Liu Ruoxue.
Liu Ruoxue quietly watched him, she did not speak, but her bright eyes, sharp as blades, had already conveyed her intentions.
She was worried about him and wanted to follow him until the end of this Saint Heir selection.
“Let them follow, it’s okay.”
An Yulan, seeing her like her own sisters, chuckled lightly: “This time, the Saint Heir selection presumably will not forbid assistance.”
As for whom he would ultimately choose, An Yulan was not particularly concerned, but saying that they could follow was far better than refusing them and possibly having them hold a grudge against herself, right?
