In the secret room.
Jiang Xuan looked at Nangong Xin Wan’s cold expression, which secretly hid a chaotic heart.
This completely threw him into a panic.
Even though her true strength was hidden and she had reached the Martial King level,
It still wasn’t enough!
She couldn’t win at all.
To stop her from dragging him into something foolish, he hurriedly spoke up, “Um… Miss Nangong, I think there’s been a bit of a misunderstanding here.
I just met your older sister yesterday for the first time. Our relationship hasn’t really progressed much yet.
Why do you think I can be used to counter her? I don’t think I’m qualified for that.”
After hearing Jiang Xuan’s words, Nangong Xin Wan poked his face several times.
“You’re wrong. Only you can help me see my sister for who she truly is,” she said with her eerie smile.
“I’ve already told you; everything she has, she gives to me without hesitation.
This always makes me think that no matter what, I’m the most important person to her.”
“But when I found out about her marriage to you, I realized she changed.
So, I tentatively asked if that marriage could be transferred to me.”
“Do you know? It was the first time I saw my sister refuse me like that.
But instead of getting angry, she actually told me that apart from not giving up on that marriage, she would fulfill any other request I have.”
“From that moment on, I understood your special significance to her。”
Nangong Xin Wan rarely showed smiles, but when she did, they were twisted and sickly.
Jiang Xuan: “…….”
After learning the reason behind this, Jiang Xuan inwardly sighed in complaint:
“Well, this poor kid must have gone mad from cultivation. To think she’d go this far by kidnapping me over this petty issue?
I bet her true goal is simply jealousy over my ‘taking away’ her sister.
And now she wants to force Nangong Liu Yun, the big boss herself, to use her real power.
If Nangong Liu Yun does that, the second young miss will likely shatter her inner self.
Her prideful talent and cultivation mean nothing compared to Nangong Liu Yun.
This foolish child doesn’t realize what she’s facing! How is this different from Xia Xiao Yu’s confident belief that she can win? What a hot-headed idiot!”
Just then, Jiang Xuan, usually kind-hearted, tried to persuade her:
“Miss Nangong, before things escalate, please stop right away.
You should also apologize to your sister. I believe she values your relationship, and she’ll forgive your impulsive actions.”
But once Jiang Xuan spoke up, Nangong Xin Wan’s face gradually darkened.
Seizing his chin, she squeezed hard.
“Are you taking my sister’s side too? Even though we’ve barely spent time together?
Tell me—do you think she’s better than me in every way?”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!!!”
Jiang Xuan immediately panicked internally:
“This was rushed! I should have silently waited for Nangong Liu Yun to arrive. My soft-heartedness led to this; now I’ve provoked this powerhouse and asked a question that might cost me my life.”
On the surface, to calm down Nangong Xin Wan, he hastily changed his tone:
“Of course, Miss Nangong, you’re better! You’re beautiful, incredibly talented, and your words always charm people. You’ve always been the object of desire for many young men in the Imperial City.”
Hearing this, Nangong Xin Wan released Jiang Xuan, then smiled and continued:
“Oh really? Am I as good as you say? And do you include yourself among those young men?”
Jiang Xuan: “……”
Of course not! I’m monogamous to my wife!
Jiang Xuan wanted to answer, but considering his current predicament, he cautiously said:
“Well…. Of course… um, kind of…”
Hearing this response, Nangong Xin Wan frowned slightly.
Obviously, she wasn’t satisfied with Jiang Xuan’s answer.
“What if there wasn’t an official marriage from the Empress, who would you choose between me and my sister?”
Okay, okay, testing this nice young man with a multiple-choice question?
He isn’t a child; he wouldn’t pick sides like this.
But now, it’s clear he would choose whoever is in front of him.
Just as he was about to give a response, his long-silent system suddenly reminded him:
“Host, this system detects slight spatial fluctuations around us.”
Jiang Xuan: “!!!!!!!”
Upon hearing his useless system’s warning, Jiang Xuan was somewhat startled.
Realizing the situation, he understood.
Only Martial Emperors or stronger can perform space jumps.
The strongest one in the Imperial City must be none other than the deeply hidden Nangong Liu Yun.
Since the system detected it, it meant Nangong Liu Yun was already lurking nearby.
She arrived but remained hidden. Was she unsure how to confront her sister, or did she want to test him as her fiancé?
Fine, let’s play it that way.
With a plan firmly in mind, Jiang Xuan slowly spoke:
“Of course, I choose Miss Nangong; the older lady is just a spoiled brat, she can’t possibly compare to you.
Actually, what you’re doing is meaningless.
Comparing yourself with the worthless young mistress just degrades you further.”
Jiang Xuan finished speaking, and in his mind, Nangong Liu Yun’s liking instantly plummeted from 10,000 to -9,999.
This confirmed his suspicion that Nangong Liu Yun was watching this unfold nearby.
Let’s see how much longer she can hold back.
On the other hand, Nangong Xin Wan was slightly surprised after hearing Jiang Xuan’s answer.
“Really? Your choice is actually me?”
“Yes, I wouldn’t dare lie to Miss Nangong…”
As Jiang Xuan spoke, Nangong Xin Wan untied the ropes binding him.
“Since you chose me, I breathe easier.
When I use you to make my sister despair, I won’t feel any guilt.
To prevent you from lying to me, prove it now.”
“Huh? Prove? How do you want me to prove it?”
“It’s simple, you just mimic what my older sister did to you.”
Jiang Xuan: “……”
Mimic her? Nangong Liu Yun could be watching this covertly. If he really mimicked it, he’d be toast!
Thus, Jiang Xuan forced a smile:
“Nothing’s happened yet. Sister Nangong hurriedly went to welcome the head of the Nangong family.”
As his words faded, Nangong Liu Yun’s affection skyrocketed to 99,999.
Far exceeding the previous level.
Hiding in the secret space, Nangong Liu Yun muttered to herself:
“Indeed, my husband loves me!”
