A low voice sounded behind Lan Mufeng.

"That's all the courage you have. I really overestimated you."

Lan Mufeng, who was already frightened, was almost scared out of his wits by these words.

He quickly turned and looked at the man in black.

"You heard everything, but you just hid in the dark. Why don't you show up?"

The man in black looked down at Lan Mufeng.

"As long as you cooperate with me and confront the Sixth Prince, that's inevitable. You should have been prepared long ago."

Lan Mufeng raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

He forced himself to stand up by holding onto the table.

"How many people are not afraid of the Sixth Prince's terror?"

The man in black sneered, "Humph, so what if he's scary? He still has two legs, two arms, and a head. Could he be a monster in disguise?"

Lan Mufeng sat down on the chair and forced himself to calm down.

"That's because you haven't really faced him yet. You don't have to mock me like this."

Looking at the man in black who also sat down opposite him.

Lan Mufeng felt a little disgusted.

"I regret what you promised me. Can you not do it now? Don't show up in front of me anymore."

The man in black leisurely poured himself a cup of tea.

He also poured a cup of tea for Lan Mufeng and chuckled.

"Since you are already in league with me, you think you can still escape."

Lan Mufeng snorted coldly:

"I haven't done anything harmful, so why can't I escape? As long as we don't meet in the future, that's all."

The man in black taunted, "You are really too naive. Will they believe you?"

Lan Mufeng: "Whether they believe it or not, I don't want to live in fear like this. Leave now."

Seeing that Lan Mufeng was determined to cut off ties with him.

The man in black said bluntly: "There is no turning back for you, unless you die."

"you……"

Lan Mufeng was so angry that he forgot his fear and stood up directly.

Staring intently at the man in black in front of him.

The man in black was not afraid of his glare at all.

"If you had glared at the Sixth Prince with that attitude just now, he would have looked at you differently. Unfortunately, you couldn't do that."

Lan Mufeng was furious and turned his head away, ignoring the man in black.

No matter whether he can get away with it or not, he will just not complete the tasks given to him in the future.

Why bother arguing with him about this?

Look at the back of Lan Mufeng's head.

The man in black took out a jade pendant from his bosom and placed it on the table, then spoke softly:

"Take this jade pendant and carry it with you from now on."

Lan Mufeng refused without even turning his head.

"I don't need your reward, take it."

The man in black nodded: "Okay, you don't need it. You can give this jade pendant to Miss Lan."

Lan Mufeng glared at him unhappily.

"Do you think she will accept the jade pendant I gave her?"

The man in black naturally:

"Since she won't accept it, just take it. Try to get closer to Miss Lan."

"She now sees me as an enemy. Do you think he'll be in a good mood?"

"Why bother about his opinion?" The man in black continued to give him advice.

"Don't worry, after returning to the capital, your official position will be promoted. As for what happens next, it depends on your cooperation."

Hearing that there were benefits, Lan Mufeng turned around.

Staring intently at the eyes of the man in black.

"Are you sure my rank deserves a promotion?"

"I'm sure. Although you didn't do your job well this time, I will definitely not break my promise to give you the benefits."

Lan Mufeng was puzzled: "Are you so easy to talk to? Even though the task was not completed, you still give me benefits."

"Second Master Lan, you don't have to believe me. You'll know after you return to the capital."

Lan Mufeng looked at the jade pendant on the table hesitantly.

I don’t know whether to answer it or not.

The thought of his position being promoted to a higher level.

It may rise even higher in the future.

He began to feel itchy again, after all, he was not pursuing a career in politics.

I got to this position thanks to my family connections.

It is difficult for him to rise any higher.

Unless my father's position can be promoted.

He might still have a chance.

Seeing Lan Mufeng's hesitant attitude.

The man in black pushed the jade pendant in front of him without any hesitation.

He patted the jade pendant gently.

"But think carefully. I'm not asking you to do anything. I just want you to carry it with you, that's all."

Is that all?

Although Lan Mufeng was a little unconvinced.

However, faced with the easy task and the tempting position, he finally took the jade pendant in his hand.

The man in black saw this and laughed softly.

"As a man, you should be decisive and not hesitate. Now I am the one giving you the jade pendant. If it were someone else, hehe..."

After the black man finished speaking, he stood up and brushed off the dust that didn't exist on his body.

Tidy up your clothes.

"Second Master Lan, from now on, no matter what happens, I will come to you in person. Just wait for your promotion and wealth. See you later."

He turned around and jumped out of the room.

Lan Mufeng held the jade pendant tightly in his hand.

The cold feeling made him realize what kind of decision he had made.

He was immediately filled with regret.

Aren't you supposed to reject others?

Why do we hold jade pendants in our hands?

In this case, is there any way back for him?

Standing on the opposite side of a terrifying person like the Sixth Prince.

He didn't know how many more days he could see the sunrise.

Lan Mufeng suddenly sat down at the table weakly.

A face full of frustration.

Why is he so stubborn that he insists on following me to Jingyang City?

If I hadn't come to Jingyang City, none of this would have happened.

Lan Kexin, in the end it’s all your fault.

Lan Mufeng calmly put the jade pendant into his arms.

Then he walked to the bed and lay down.

On the other side, Xuan Er quickly returned to the room.

"Master, as you guessed, someone has come to meet with Second Young Master Lan.

I was afraid of being discovered, so I stayed far away and didn't hear what they said.

The Sixth Prince nodded:

"Well, it seems that the Marquis' Mansion is straying further and further from the path of prosperity. Should I do something to make that girl completely sever ties with the Marquis' Mansion?"

Xuan Yi's mouth twitched.

Now Miss Lan and the people in the Marquis' Mansion are at loggerheads.

They simply cannot be integrated.

Is it appropriate for him to add fuel to the fire?

"Master, forget it. I'm afraid Miss Lan will have a grudge against you by then."

"What is she doing now?"

"I'm preparing some dry food with Chunzhu."

The Sixth Prince glanced at them:

"What are you two doing here? Don't you know how to go down and help? Are you going to go hungry tomorrow?"

Xuan Yi and Xuan Er looked at each other and left silently.

The Sixth Prince was left alone in the side room.

He held a silver needle in his hand.

He looked at the silver needle carefully in the candlelight.

It was as if one could see some flowers on a silver needle.

He murmured with drops of water on his lips:

“Since you have entered my heart, you are mine for the rest of your life and can only be tied to me.

This king will also protect you for the rest of your life and will not let anyone bully you."
