Forced love, an inescapable fate

Looking at the young man with an outstanding figure, she felt a sense of accomplishment in the training system.

The two talked for a while. Thinking that they would be separated tomorrow, Mu Qingli suppressed the sadness brought by parting and tried to make her smile brighter.

"Brother, it's getting late. Go to bed early. We have to travel tomorrow."

"it is good."

After Mu Qingli left, Su Minsheng came to Jiang Ci's room.

When Jiang Ci faced Su Minsheng, he was not as well-behaved as he had tried to be in front of Mu Qingli.

When his eyes smile, they always give people a warm and clean feeling, but when he doesn't smile, they are extremely distant and cold.

Su Minsheng had already seen Jiang Ci's true face last night, so he was not surprised by the distant look in front of him. He came here for only one purpose, which was what Wan Yue said to him last night. After thinking about it, he felt that the danger that Wan Yue mentioned Mu Qingli would encounter originated from Jiang Ci.

"Young Master, no, I should call you Sixth Prince now. You should be able to guess why I'm looking for you. Regardless of whether you are Young Master or Sixth Prince, Ali is a good girl. You shouldn't put her in danger. You know how she treats you. I don't care what you want to do, but you can't hurt her. Otherwise, even if I risk my life, I..."

"What are you going to do? Kill me? Doctor Su, in what capacity are you warning me? Are you a junior doctor in Dongli Town, or the young master of Xunji Hall?"

With every word Jiang Ci spoke, Su Minsheng's eyes darkened a little.

Jiang Ci continued, "I guess you were the one who arranged those men in black who injured me two years ago. One, to test my abilities, and two, to have a legitimate excuse to get close to me. I wonder if Young Master Su feels I've passed the test of Xunji Hall after two years of probing. However, my sister's safety naturally falls to General Feng Zong. They're engaged, and even if they weren't, Feng Zong would still protect my sister. It wouldn't be Young Master Su's turn to lecture me."

Su Minsheng's eyes trembled. He originally thought that these things were done in secret, but he didn't expect that the real owner had already known about it. But now it doesn't matter even if he knows it.

Seeing Su Minsheng's expression, Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows in understanding and said confidently, "It seems that my guess is right. Then let me guess the real master behind Xunji Hall. Could it be the current Taifu Wen Muchuan?"

Seeing that Su Minsheng did not deny it, Jiang Ci paused and continued:

"It seems I guessed right again. But why is Xunji Hall testing me, an abandoned hostage? Could it be that Grand Tutor Wen also wants to stand on the side of me, a prince who is easy to control, has no power, and has been spoiled by Qi State? It's really a good plan, but it doesn't matter. I am willing to cooperate. Since Master Su has agreed to return to Jing State with me, I just need to do what I should do. As for other matters, Master Su, please don't bother."

After Jiang Ci finished speaking, Su Minsheng had to face the boy in front of him who was only fifteen years old. He didn't expect that he could guess the real master behind Xunji Hall. The scheming and cunning of this man in front of him were far beyond his expectations.

This is not a good thing for Xunjitang.

Su Minsheng, who was always gentle and polite in front of others, frowned for the first time. Jiang Ci looked at him with a half-smile and said:

"Look, don't you seem more sincere after tearing off your disguise? You and I are actually no different. We are both evil people who hide our ambitions under the guise of hypocrisy. Why bother pretending to be so? You didn't come to me just for my sister. I think your main purpose is to discuss cooperation with me. Let's be frank. I want the position of the Lord of the East Palace. What about you? What is the real purpose of your Xunji Hall? We can cooperate, but you have to show some sincerity, right?"

Su Minsheng sneered, "Sixth Prince, you're quite arrogant. Your brothers are all eyeing the position of the Eastern Palace. Even if Xunjitang wants to choose a side, any prince is better than you, a hostage who no one wants. Besides, do you think you can return to Shangjing smoothly? When you return to Shangjing, come and discuss cooperation with me."

"Master Su, your words are truly rude. However, this prince has always been accustomed to being bullied, so I don't take your words to heart. However, Master Su, if my sister knew that her elder brother Su was really like this, would she stay away from you from now on?"

"Then you used her to get close to Feng Zong and gain his support. And if she knew that you've been playing dumb for the past two years, would she be more distant from you if she knew the truth about you using her than if she knew my true face?"

The two of them were at loggerheads, the atmosphere tense, but Jiang Ci smiled instead, "It seems the Young Master knows far more than I thought. But do you think I care? Using this as leverage, the Young Master still doesn't know me well enough."

"Jiang Ci, Ah Li treats you more like her own brother, and yet you are so heartless. If you still have any conscience, don't involve her in these things and don't put her in danger."

Su Minsheng had lost his patience and stood up with a cold face.

Jiang Ci paused for a moment and continued to sneer.

"Then tell me the true purpose of Xunji Hall, and I will consider what you say."

"Impossible. I can't tell you if you can't even guarantee your own life. If that's the case, then there's nothing more to say between us. From now on, Ali's safety will be protected by Xunji Hall. Don't worry, I won't give you the chance to hurt her."

After saying this, he walked out, shaking his sleeves, and the two parted on bad terms.

As soon as he left, Bai Yu flashed in.

"Master, is this really okay? If you offend him, then Xunji Hall..."

He didn't say the rest, but Jiang Ci understood what he meant.

"In this way, Su Minsheng will definitely protect her secretly. Feng Zong may not be able to protect her completely, but Su Minsheng can. He likes my sister. With Xunji Hall around, my grandfather will naturally be wary. With you and Wanyue here, I believe my sister's life should be safe. Only then can I rest assured."

"But what if Su Minsheng tells the princess the truth..."

"No, he still wants to rely on that hypocritical face to deceive my sister. If he tells my sister the truth, his identity will naturally be exposed. He won't do that. My sister's safety in the future is in your hands and Wanyue's hands. Wanyue is simple-minded, so you should remind her more often. You should also keep a close eye on Feng Zong. He hasn't really taken sides. Everything now is just because of my sister. The Feng family owes my sister this favor, and we must make good use of it."

"My subordinate understands."
