Hearing Chu Xing's question, Jiang Xiao smiled.
In the past eight days, not only had she investigated Chu Xing, she had also thought about how to help him. Helping Chu Xing was helping herself. Unlike Pei Pei, she believed that Chu Xing was a man of his word. At the very least, he was not interested in her body. This made her feel at ease, knowing that she would not be pestered in the future.
"I have three ways. You can choose for yourself." Jiang Xiao said.
"Oh?" Lu An was slightly surprised and said, "Please speak."
"Everyone in the clan knows that you offended me at the banquet. If I were to take you in as my trusted aide too hastily, it would be suspicious, even more so for the top clans. But it is also because of this that I have a reason to make a move on you." Jiang Xiao's expression and tone clearly became much more serious as she said, "The first method is to tell the outside world that I forced you to sacrifice your consciousness to me. This way, no one will suspect me if I bring you by my side."
Sacrifice his consciousness?
Lu An's brows clearly tightened. Firstly, just the idea of 'sacrificing his consciousness to others' made him feel disgusted. Secondly, if he really said that to the outside world, it meant that he had to listen to Jiang Xiao's words, which might cause a lot of trouble. He had to take the initiative in his own actions, so that he could face all kinds of situations and crises.
"Impossible." Lu An immediately refused and said, "What are the other two methods?"
Jiang Xiao was not surprised by Chu Xing's rejection. She just shrugged her shoulders indifferently and continued, "The second method is for you and Jiang Xin to become lovers."
"..."
Hearing this, Lu An's brows furrowed even tighter, and his expression became even more serious than before.
"Jiang Xin is already under my control. If I ask her to talk about love with you, she will do it without the slightest bit of disgust." Jiang Xiao said, "After the two of you reconcile, you will have feelings for each other. Jiang Xin will often come to find me, and as long as she sticks to you, she will have a reason to bring you to play with me at any time. This is also a reason for you to get close to me, and even go to the top clans. Of course, it can't compare to the first method, and turning hatred into love will more or less be suspected. "
After hearing Jiang Xiao's words, Lu An took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "What's the third method?"
"Naturally, it is to forcefully bring you by my side and say that you are my trusted aide." Jiang Xiao shrugged and said, "I believe you know very well how dangerous this is. The three methods are getting more and more dangerous. You choose."
"…"
Without a doubt, Lu An didn't want to choose any of the three options. He asked, "Only these three?"
"What else? Can you think of a way for me? " Jiang Xiao was displeased, as if she was deliberately making things difficult for her. She said, "Do you think it's easy to suddenly bring someone with you? You're an outsider, and a man at that. Even if you are a woman, it will be easier for me to bring you with me. Otherwise, if I bring a man to a top clan, what will they think of me? "
"If you didn't come for the next eight days, we could have put on a show in advance. Now, it's too late." Jiang Xiao waved her hand and said, "I only have these three methods. If you are not satisfied with them, then you can think of something yourself. I have no other way."
Seeing that the other party had completely let go of him with an indifferent expression, Lu An's brows remained furrowed. In fact, he knew that this matter was very difficult, but no matter which of the three methods, he didn't want to accept it.
He didn't accept the first method because he couldn't control the situation. He didn't accept the second method because he didn't want to pretend to be lovers with Jiang Xin. As long as there was no physical relationship, he could do it for the sake of the mission. But the problem was that it was too fake. In his opinion, it was even as fake as the third method.
From a safety point of view, the first method was the most feasible and even impeccable.
But …
Jiang Xiao looked at Chu Xing who had been frowning and said, "I believe you know that the first method is the best. Don't worry, I won't deliberately make things difficult for you. If you cooperate with me, I will naturally help you. I won't let you fall into a difficult situation. Moreover, your attitude is too bad. Our Jiang Clan will tolerate you and cooperate with you, but the top clans won't fall for it. If you treat them with this attitude, they will definitely attack you. Even I can't protect you. I can use the excuse of sacrificing my spiritual consciousness to pretend to forcibly change your character towards the top clans. But outside the top clans, you will still have your current character. How about it? "
"…"
When Lu An heard this, he didn't speak for a while.
Jiang Xiao knew that if he didn't speak, it meant that the other party had been persuaded and didn't say 'impossible' anymore. So she continued, "But there is a big drawback to this method. That is, you might have to follow me for a long time. Even if I find an excuse to let you leave in the name of carrying out the mission, you won't be able to come and go as you wish like before. "
"…"
Lu An frowned. To be honest, he couldn't figure out the pros and cons of it. And this matter was too important. It was directly related to whether he could carry out the mission or not. So he didn't want to make the decision himself. Instead, he went back to ask his wife for her opinion.
"I have to go back and think about it." Lu An looked at Jiang Xiao and said, "I also have to discuss it with my friends."
"Okay." Jiang Xiao said, "But you have to be quick. You must come back today. They will propose marriage on Jiang Xing. I must go to Jiang Xing before tomorrow. If you don't come back today, you won't be able to see anyone tomorrow. "
When Lu An heard this, he was shocked. He was glad that he came out of seclusion today. Otherwise, he would have missed such an important matter.
"No problem." Lu An stood up and said, "Then I will take my leave."
Jiang Xiao watched as Lu An left. Soon, Lu An disappeared from the star.

Heavenly Star River, Fu Clan Front Line Headquarters. Fu Yu's room.
Lu An appeared out of nowhere. Fu Yu naturally sensed it and quickly appeared. Lu An came back too quickly. It was obvious that he met with a problem. When Lu An told his wife about Jiang Xiao's three methods, Fu Yu also started to think.
However, Fu Yu's thoughts quickly ended. She lifted her head to look at Lu An and said softly, "I suggest that my husband choose the first method."
Indeed.
Lu An had already expected this answer. After all, the other two methods didn't have much practical feasibility.
"Husband, you don't have to be overly worried that Jiang Xiao will harm you." Fu Yu said, "Furthermore … if Husband thinks that she is unreliable, you can find an opportunity to kidnap her. This shouldn't be difficult for Husband. When the time comes, we can force her to sacrifice her divine sense to Husband. This way, she can do whatever Husband wants. "
When he heard his wife's words, Lu An was obviously stunned. He didn't expect his wife to make such a suggestion.
Indeed, Lu An, who had improved his cultivation, had the ability to make a move on Jiang Xiao. Jiang Xiao's strength was only slightly higher than his. Just like when he talked to Jiang Xiao earlier, Lu An was confident that he could defeat her before she could react. Then, he could forcefully take her away through space and force her to sacrifice her divine sense.
Of course, forcing Jiang Xiao to sacrifice her Divine Sense was the last step that was most likely to go wrong. Most people would rather die than sacrifice their Divine Sense. The arrogant Jiang Xiao was likely to have such a personality, so the possibility of success was not high. Instead, it would cause the long period of hiding in the Jiang Clan to fail.
"Forget it." Lu An took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "This is too risky. I'll choose this method."
"Mm," Fu Yu nodded gently and said, "Husband, let's inform Liu Yi about this first before going to see Jiang Xiao."
"Okay." Lu An also had this plan in mind. Although Fu Yu approved of this method and he completely accepted Fu Yu's suggestion and didn't need to discuss it further, Liu Yi was his wife. He had to inform her of this plan in advance.
Lu An knew that Liu Yi would be very worried. However, he had no choice but to do this.

Heavenly Star River, in an underground space.
Lu An used space transfer to transfer a wisp of dark energy to Liu Yi's office. When Liu Yi saw this dark energy, she knew that he was looking for her and knew where he was. Sure enough, Liu Yi soon arrived. Looking at her husband, who was still in disguise, she knew that the mission was not over.
"Husband, what's wrong?" Liu Yi immediately asked.
Lu An told her about Jiang Xiao's three methods. Liu Yi immediately frowned after hearing it. When she heard her wife's decision, her heart became heavier.
Indeed, she didn't have a better method. However, it was too dangerous to do so. Especially if she gave her husband's initiative to Jiang Xiao. Losing the initiative was a very scary thing.
However … Liu Yi also knew that she couldn't change her husband's decision.
"Although we chose this method, there are still a lot of leeway." Liu Yi immediately said, "Husband, you have to talk to Jiang Xiao in detail to avoid a disadvantageous situation. Let Jiang Xiao know what to do and what not to do. I'll teach you what to say now."
Lu An naturally listened to his wife's advice and nodded. "Okay."
