"Are you so unkind?"
Faced with Xuan Ming's still cold attitude, Qian Renxue couldn't help herself.
Hasn't she done enough in recent years?
Why hasn't this guy changed at all?
"Do you want to quarrel? If so, I can shut up." Xuan Ming said.
He is not an unkind person, it's just that Qian Renxue has never had any feelings for him at all.
Whether it was the look in her eyes or the subconscious orders she gave, Qian Renxue never treated him as an equal. Her gaze was always downward.
If there was a better choice, he believed Qian Renxue would destroy him without hesitation.
To put it bluntly, if you raise a dog and the dog dies, the owner will at least feel sad.
But Qian Renxue was the kind of person who would sell him without hesitation as long as he was valuable enough.
In this case, why should he talk about feelings with Qian Renxue? There has always been only a transaction relationship based on interests between them.
"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, this matter requires your intervention."
Seeing that Xuan Ming was about to shut up again, Qian Renxue gave up saying anything else, as it was just a one-man show anyway.
"What's the matter?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Now that Ning Fengzhi has become the teacher of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, he obviously wants the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Tiandou Empire to have further cooperation and interest ties." Qian Renxue said.
"But this little interest relationship is not enough. I want to make sure he won't suddenly defect in the future. I have to tie him down to Xue Qinghe completely."
"Now, you are the most suitable link."
"What do you mean?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Ning Fengzhi's daughter, Ning Rongrong, just awakened her martial soul two days ago. He revealed to me that the child has an innate ninth-level soul power. If nothing unexpected happens, Ning Rongrong will be the next leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect." Qian Renxue said.
"I want you to come forward and win over the future of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."
"This way, no matter what happens in the future, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will have no choice but to stand on our side."
Xuan Ming paused, "You want me to sell myself?"
"You don't have to go that far. For now, you just need to show goodwill." Qian Renxue said.
"I know what kind of person you are. It's impossible to expect you to do that kind of thing."
"But you have to let Ning Fengzhi see hope. As for the future... we'll talk about it later."
"You want me to deceive other people's feelings like you did?" Xuan Ming asked.
"I didn't ask you to lie. You can also be true." Qian Renxue said.
"Also, when did I ever cheat on someone's feelings?"
"Isn't that how you treat me?" Xuan Ming asked doubtfully.
"It's just that I didn't cheat."
"You!" Qian Renxue's face turned dark.
"Do you dare to swear on your martial spirit and on the angel gods that you are sincere to me?" Xuan Ming asked.
"I..." Qian Renxue was speechless for a moment.
"So? You want to use this kind of thing to fool me when you can't even deceive yourself?" Xuan Ming said.
"At least I have a clear conscience in everything I do, even if those things seem unreasonable to you, but that's how I think, and that's how I view good and evil. You can think that I have bad character and twisted thoughts, but I don't think I'm a good person either. I just follow my own rules."
"Whether you are right or wrong, whether you are good or bad, has nothing to do with me, and vice versa."
"I won't tell you what's right or wrong, and you don't have to tell me what to do. Just mind your own business."
"Otherwise, if you don't do it right, you'll end up being a whore."
"Becoming a prostitute is a life-threatening situation, but this bitch is always committing humiliation herself."
"You!" Qian Renxue took a deep breath.
"Are you scolding me?"
"Of course not." Xuan Ming said.
"If I was scolding you, you would never have this feeling of uncertainty. You would know very clearly that I was scolding you."
"Otherwise, if I beat around the bush and you don't understand, wouldn't it be a waste of words?"
"You know, I'm not the type to entertain myself."
"Shut up!" Qian Renxue's face was filled with black lines.
"From now on, talk less!"
"…"
"Did you hear that?"
"…"
Xuan Ming looked at Qian Renxue quietly, dipped his finger in the tea, and wrote a few words on the table: "Didn't you tell me to shut up?"
"..."Qian Renxue.
Fuck you!!!
Qian Renxue's defense was inexplicably broken, and Xuan Ming did not continue to stay in the Prince's Mansion. He left quickly holding the Blue Silver Emperor.
It's always like this. Even though I know what he says is unpleasant, I still force him to speak, and after he speaks, I tell him to shut up.
Each and every one of them is so difficult to please.
"Young Master, calm down. Haven't you always known about this kid's temper?" Snake Spear Douluo said with some guilt.
In Wuhun City and in the Worship Hall, where there was no chance of survival, he was so reckless. It can't be said that this kid is not a coward, but the kind of person who doesn't care about life or death at all!
Especially when faced with threats, Xuan Ming's attitude towards life and death will become very negative! Even if he wants to live, if you threaten him and tell him that he will die if he doesn't listen, he will just give up and wait for death.
The rebellious nature is particularly strong!
To deal with such people, you have to go along with them like the Pope did, instead of confronting them head-on.
Just like Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, the interactions between those two girls and Xuan Ming did not involve any deliberate giving in to him or coaxing him, it was just a very simple interaction, but Xuan Ming never had the same obvious desire to confront them as he did with Qian Renxue.
In the final analysis, Qian Renxue was too proud. She always felt that she could tame Xuan Ming. Every time, her attitude was very clear: she wanted Xuan Ming to give in and bow his head.
As a result, the relationship between the two became worse and worse, and problems also arose in the relationship between Xue Qinghe and Xuan Ming.
"Should I just go along with him? I've never felt so aggrieved in my life!" Qian Renxue bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes full of unwillingness and anger. She knew very well that what Snake Spear Douluo said was reasonable, but Xuan Ming didn't bow his head, so did he want her to bow her head too?
Snake Spear Douluo saw that Qian Renxue's expression had softened, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Young Master, although that kid has a strange temper, his strength should not be underestimated, and he values friendship and loyalty. If I can truly use him, he will become a great man in the future. Now that you are in a stalemate with him, it will only push him further away."
Qian Renxue took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner turmoil. After a long silence, she slowly spoke: "Forget it, I will follow your words and not bother with him for now. But if he is still so stubborn, I will not tolerate him like this anymore."
"Young Master, there is something I have wanted to say for a long time." Snake Spear Douluo said.
"If you are unwilling to give in, it is better to get rid of this kid as soon as possible, otherwise, there will be endless troubles."
Now the conflict between Xuan Ming and Qian Renxue is only verbal, because that kid has no power to resist them. But if that kid becomes strong and has the power to resist, then if there is a conflict again, it will not be as simple as a few words.
Genius is attractive, but if I cannot use it for my own benefit, it will only be a disaster.
"Let's take another look." Qian Renxue said.
"I've spent so much time and thought on this. If I start now, won't everything I've done before become a joke?"
Hearing this, Snake Spear Douluo didn't say anything more.
He knew very well that once Qian Renxue's competitive spirit was aroused, nothing he said would be of any use.
If he said that Xuan Ming could not be tamed, Qian Renxue would only think that he was doubting her ability.
I'd better say less...
