"princess..."
waiting nearby, two twin girls with almost identical appearances approached quickly as she woke up and respectfully said, "while cleaning the room just now, we found a recording stone in the room that seemed to have been placed there by someone. what should we do with it?"
"oh, has the action already begun?"

jing lixue murmured to herself lazily waving her slender, jade-like hand, she said indifferently, "just pretend you don't know about it."
"yes."
jing lixue's eyes suddenly shifted, and her typically serene demeanor instantly took on a mesmerizing, alluring quality.
however, this feeling appeared only for a moment and vanished as quickly as it came. she spoke softly, "speaking of which, xu yuan, he hasn't suspected you, has he?"
"no."
fenger and linger shook their heads in unison, their beautiful porcelain faces blushing deeply.
"not only has he not suspected us, but he has also greatly enjoyed our services."
the two exchanged glances, their eyes full of shyness.
"is that so?"
jing lixue chuckled lightly, "in that case, you two must have already been exposed."
shocked expressions appeared simultaneously on the faces of fenger and linger.
"how could it be?"
"how is that possible?"
hearing their delicate exclaims, jing lixue smiled faintly, gracefully picking up the jade bamboo fishing rod, and lifted a white jade spirit carp that was firmly biting onto the hook.
she swallowed before saying, "since that's the case, may i be bold and ask?"
she realized that whether she wanted to ask was not important; what mattered was what she should and should not ask.
"ask."
jing lixue watched the silver flecks of dust drift past her indifferently, looking fatigued.
"although princess, you like xu yuan, why did you specifically assign us to serve him?"
"simple, he definitely doesn't trust me right now. rather than trying to approach him actively like lin qingque and others, it would be better to wait until he is driven into a corner and seeks me out himself." jing lixue lowered her eyelids, continuing leisurely, "as for you two, i simply wanted to let him know one thing."
"i don't mind him having other women, though they must be chosen by me; compared to others, my condition... is far superior,"
her lips curved into a faint, ambiguous smile.
seeing she wasn't overly annoyed by her question, linger breathed a sigh of relief.
"is there anything else?"
seeing jing lixue still looking disinterested, clearly just waiting for her to continue asking.
linger knew her questions hadn't truly touched on what was important in jing lixue's mind. many thoughts flashed through her mind, and she finally gritted her teeth and asked, "what does the princess plan to do to drive xu yuan into a desperate situation?"
"you are wrong."
jing lixue's beautiful face lighted up with a smile, just like the ripples reflecting the fishing hook on the surface of the lake.
"ah?"
in linger's puzzled and confused gaze, she said hauntingly, "the real victory is often determined by a single move."
"in this game of chess, i only need to play my assigned role. as for him... just let others know that he possesses the four divine beasts formation's formation eye; that alone is enough. soon, people from the eight major sects will naturally trouble him."
most importantly, she had never made a move throughout this time.
the strategic mind invites allegiance and plots for power; the adept player goes with the flow and leverages the situation to succeed.
