Hearing Jiang Xiao's question, Chu Xing frowned.
"Isn't Miss's question crossing the line?" Chu Xing said. "I'm working for Fourth Young Master, Miss has no reason to know."
"Is that so?" Jiang Xiao raised her eyebrows. "Not just you, even my brother doesn't dare to hide anything from me. He has to answer whatever I ask. I'm his sister, his business is my business. How is it crossing the line? "
"If that's the case, why doesn't Miss ask Fourth Young Master directly?" Chu Xing said. "Why call me here?"
Hearing Chu Xing's question, Jiang Xiao wasn't surprised. Smiling, she said, "I didn't ask him because he might lie to me. I suspect he's doing something forbidden by the Jiang family. Don't be harmed by my brother. Once exposed, my brother will be fine. At most, he'll be scolded and locked up. But none of you can escape. You'll all be punished. "
Forbidden by the Jiang family?
Could it be that the Jiang family didn't allow the things Fourth Young Master sent Wang Wei and him to do?
Lu An's heart was very calm, but he pretended to frown even more. He couldn't betray Jiang Ping. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that betrayal had no value at this time. Unless he could confirm that he could capture someone of higher status and carry out missions by his side, he definitely wouldn't take the risk in advance. If he told Jiang Xiao now, she would abandon him after asking, and there would be no follow-up. And if he really did betray, Jiang Ping's anger would be the most difficult problem to deal with.
"I won't say." Chu Xing's answer was simple and straightforward. "If Miss thinks I'll say it, then you're underestimating me."
"Oh?" Jiang Xiao saw that Chu Xing wasn't angry and smiled. "I couldn't tell you were so loyal."
"It's not loyalty, just keeping my word." Chu Xing said.
"Don't be so sure." Jiang Xiao's smile deepened. Threats were useless against this man. "You haven't seen my conditions."
Hearing this, Chu Xing's expression clearly showed curiosity as he asked, "What conditions?"
Seeing Chu Xing's interested expression, Jiang Xiao directly laughed out loud and said, "I'll give you three times the reward he gave you. From now on, you'll work by my side, and I guarantee my brother won't take revenge on you. "
Hearing this, Chu Xing nodded in realization and said, "Your sincerity is not bad."
"Are you tempted?" Jiang Xiao said with a smile. "Since you are tempted, just say it."
"When did I say I was tempted?" Chu Xing's brows furrowed, and he looked at Jiang Xiao with a questioning gaze, saying, "I'm just curious as to what conditions Eldest Miss will give."
"…"
Hearing Chu Xing's words, the smile on Jiang Xiao's face quickly disappeared. She coldly looked at Chu Xing and asked, "Are you playing with me?"
"I wouldn't dare." Chu Xing, on the other hand, was very sincere as he said, "You're the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and I'm just a loner with a worthless life. But if I don't like to do something, no one can force me to do it, whether it's the Fourth Young Master or the Eldest Young Miss. Furthermore, I hate being threatened the most. Even if a Heavenly King Stage cultivator threatens me, I won't submit. At most, I'll just die. "
Jiang Xiao was a little surprised to see the man in front of her speak so seriously, with a hint of indifference in his seriousness. She had seen many people before, but she had never seen a person like him who was so stubborn and unsociable, who was a little fierce, and who was indifferent to life and death. However, from this person's performance, Jiang Xiao knew that she probably wouldn't be able to find out what she wanted to know in such a short period of time.
"But I'm looking for you. If you leave my place, do you think my brother won't suspect you?" Jiang Xiao asked.
"Before coming here, I've already told the Fourth Young Master. It was also the Fourth Young Master who asked me to come." Chu Xing shrugged, and said indifferently, "And even if the Fourth Young Master doesn't trust me, so what? At most, I won't cooperate with the Jiang family. Don't tell me I can't survive?"
"…"
Finally, Jiang Xiao's brows gradually furrowed. Although she had felt that this man was different from the rest in the banquet hall, she didn't expect him to be so strange. He was practically invulnerable, and there was no way to break through.
Just at this moment, a figure suddenly walked into the courtyard. Without Jiang Xiao's orders, even the man who had just brought Lu An here couldn't take a single step into the courtyard. This was enough to show how high this person's status was.
It was none other than the Fourth Young Master, Jiang Ping!
"Eldest Sister!" Before reaching the front of the palace, Jiang Ping shouted from the courtyard, "Is Chu Xing here with you?"
Within the palace, Jiang Xiao's brows furrowed even more, looking towards the direction of the door. She didn't expect her brother to arrive so quickly. Looks like this Lu An was indeed involved in some matters.
The sound of footsteps rapidly approached, and soon there was a knock on the door. Jiang Ping stood at the door and shouted, "Eldest Sister?"
Jiang Xiao lightly breathed in, and said, "Come in."
Creak — —
The door was pushed open. Jiang Ping entered the palace, and immediately saw the two people sitting on the chairs.
Jiang Ping only glanced at Chu Xing, and then strode towards Jiang Xiao, smiling as he said, "Eldest Sister, why are you looking for him? I still have something for him to do! "
Jiang Xiao looked at Jiang Ping, and then at Lu An, before saying, "Since you have something to do, then go ahead."
Chu Xing stood up, and clasped his hands towards Jiang Xiao, "Eldest Miss, farewell."
Finishing his words, Chu Xing turned and left.
Jiang Xiao looked at Chu Xing's departing figure, and at this moment Jiang Ping said, "Eldest Sister, I'll also leave first!"
"Wait!" Jiang Xiao's brows furrowed, and said, "Did I say you could leave?"
"…"
Jiang Ping looked at his eldest sister, and his heart was filled with unspeakable bitterness. He had no choice, his sister was a full 20 years older than him. After he was born, his parents were very busy, and the person who took care of him the most was his eldest sister. Plus, his eldest sister's personality was cold, and her temper wasn't very good. When he was young, he suffered quite a bit. However, he was also very grateful to his eldest sister, and was very respectful towards her, even now. Even though he was very mature in front of his second and third brother, he was still only a little brother in front of his eldest sister.
Seeing Jiang Xiao pointing to the side, Jiang Ping could only helplessly walk over and sit down, and said, "Eldest Sister, what orders do you have?"
"The person you found is not bad, he didn't say anything just now." Jiang Xiao said, "Since he didn't say anything, I'll ask you directly, did you let them go to Skystar River to do some work?"
"…"
Hearing his eldest sister's direct questioning, Jiang Ping's heart became even more chaotic, and he rubbed his head hard. Finally, under his eldest sister's gaze, he could only nod and say, "Yes."
"Are you crazy?" Hearing Jiang Ping admit it personally, Jiang Xiao's eyes turned cold, and she immediately said in a deep voice, "Is this something we can meddle in? If the top clans know that we did this, do you think you'll have a good time?! "
"That's why I found outsiders to do it, and not let the clansmen do it. This way, even if I'm caught, I can completely disassociate myself from them, and say that they did it themselves, and it has nothing to do with me. No matter how the top clans are, they can't do anything to me without evidence, right? "Jiang Ping said.
"Can't do anything to you? You're too naive! " Jiang Xiao said coldly, "If they really want to investigate, they can directly send people to our Jiang Clan, and interrogate you and Chuxing separately. Do you think there won't be any flaws? Even if there's no evidence, they can do anything they want to us, do you think the Jiang Clan has the ability to resist? "
Hearing his eldest sister's reprimand, Jiang Ping frowned even more. In fact, he also knew the risks of this matter, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "What else can we do? Everyone knows that there are great benefits in this, and there might be a shocking secret! Everyone can think of it, so why can they do it? If our Jiang Clan obtains the secret, we can definitely be ranked among the top clans, and even surpass all of them! "
Seeing Jiang Ping's righteous indignation, Jiang Xiao frowned even more and said, "Are you only doing it for the Jiang Clan, and not for yourself?"
"…"
Jiang Ping was speechless for a moment. He looked at his eldest sister, wanting to refute something. If it were anyone else, he could forcefully refute, but he couldn't say anything in front of his eldest sister.
Seeing that Jiang Ping didn't speak, Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Even I, who doesn't participate in the clan's affairs, know that you want to fight for the clan head position. Don't your second and third brothers know? If they don't say anything, do you really think they're stupid? And father and mother, don't they know what you're thinking? "
"…"
Jiang Ping lowered his head and still didn't speak. The atmosphere in the room immediately became very silent, and even deathly still. After a full ten breaths, Jiang Ping raised his head again and said to his eldest sister unwillingly, "Don't tell me that I can't even fight for it, and that I'm willing to give the position to someone else?"
