"It's not that I want you to abdicate, it's that you have no choice but to do so now." Li Fei pointed at the passionate guards and said, "Do you think that in the current situation, even if you insist on staying in this position, they will obey you?"

That's certainly impossible.

If the people underground refuse to obey, then the work will certainly not be able to proceed.

Xu Lin was extremely angry.

"Well, since you're forcing me, I don't want this position!"

He shook his hands in anger and left angrily, looking very aggrieved.

Lin Yusheng looked at his back and curled his lips in a good mood.

-

at the same time.

One side of the third floor of the castle.

Jiang Wushan sat at the chess table with a half-finished chess game in front of him.

He fiddled with the chess pieces with his hands, his shrewd eyes full of calculations.

Jiang Jue came up to Jiang Wushan and said, "I heard that Jiang Cixi is planning to leave for Canghai City."

"It seems that the news we asked someone to spread has reached her ears."

Jiang Wushan touched his chin, his eyes thick with murderous intent, "Once Jiang Cixi leaves this time, I will make sure she never comes back!"

"Third Elder, is Hua Ji in Canghai City?" Jiang Ju asked.

Jiang Wushan snorted and laughed, "The rumor that was spread is true. Hua Ji is indeed in Canghai City."

"That……"

Without waiting for Jiang Ju to say anything, Jiang Wushan glanced at him and asked, "Do you think Jiang Cixi can be a match for Hua Ji?"

Jiang Jue: “…It’s hard to say.”

If Jiang Cixi was just an ancient warrior, she would naturally be no match for Hua Ji. But if her hypnosis skills had reached the pinnacle, she could compete with Hua Ji.

Presumably, this is also the reason why Jiang Cixi decided to set off for Canghai City.

After all, it is a dual cultivation. If it really comes to a life-and-death fight, it is not certain who will win or lose.

Jiang Wushan held the chess piece in his hand and moved straight towards the "king" on the opposite side.

His eyes flashed with intense interest, "But what if it's not just Hua Ji waiting for her in Canghai City?"

Jiang Jue's expression changed, "You mean..."

"That's right, I've reached an agreement with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall." Jiang Wushan's eyes flickered as he said, "The six great masters of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall will strangle Jiang Cixi for me and help me seize the position of Patriarch of the Jiang Family!"

Hua Ji is just a bait to lure you into a trap.

Jiang Jue's pupils widened. "But those people in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall..."

"So what?" Jiang Wushan sneered, his eyes full of determination. "As long as I become the head of the Jiang family, what's wrong with colluding with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Palace?"

"If you want to blame someone, blame Jiang Cixi for being too obsessed. She was so obsessed with revenge for her father's murder that she was blinded by hatred and lost her mind."

"Then..." Jiang Jue hesitated for a moment and said, "As for Li Shiyao..."

"Go inform Li Shiyao that Jiang Cixi is leaving for Canghai City. Once Jiang Cixi dies, the date for the next Emperor election can be postponed. By then, the throne will belong to him."

"Yes."

-

The main hall of the Jiang family.

Meeting room on the first floor.

Sitting at the ten-meter-long table were seven elders and dozens of core members who held important positions in the family.

Jiang Cixi sat in the first seat in the middle, and standing next to her was an old man in white clothes with Buddhist beads in his hands.

The old man stood beside Jiang Cixi, his eyes narrowed, motionless.

"I've called several elders here to announce two things."

Jiang Cixi got straight to the point: "First of all, I plan to take Lin Yusheng as my apprentice..."

Before Jiang Cixi finished speaking, the people below immediately started talking.

Some people don’t even know who Lin Yusheng is.

Jiang Wushan was particularly agitated. He stood up and said, "Miss Cixi, are you kidding us? What is the identity of that girl? She is neither from the royal family nor from our Jiang family. If you want to take a wild girl of unknown identity as your apprentice, what will others think if this gets out?"

He felt that Jiang Cixi was no different from being crazy by making this decision.

The other elders were also puzzled. One even asked, "Miss Cixi, what is the origin of this Lin Yusheng? Why have I never heard of her name?"

"That's perfect. I'll introduce her to everyone."

Jiang Cixi took advantage of the situation and asked someone to bring Lin Yusheng in.

Lin Yusheng came in and stood on Jiang Cixi's right hand side.

"This is Lin Yusheng." Jiang Cixi introduced.

Jiang Wuya's gaze fell on Lin Yusheng and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Why is it her?

When did my sister get to know this girl?

Jiang Wuya was almost never in the castle during this period, and was completely unaware of what was happening around Jiang Cixi. He didn't even know how this girl he had met before knew Jiang Cixi.

Everyone at the conference table stared at Lin Yusheng and started talking.

"I object!" an elder said, "Miss Cixi should at least accept a younger generation from the clan as a disciple!"

"That's right, I object too! Once a master-disciple relationship is established, it lasts a lifetime and is of immense significance. As the head of the Jiang family, you must not establish such a relationship with someone of unknown origin!"

"Miss Cixi, please think twice. We don't even know this person. If you rashly accept her as your disciple, I'm afraid it will only bring you trouble."

"..."

Jiang Cixi was not surprised at all to see that everyone was opposed to it.

She had expected this.

Jiang Cixi waited for them to finish, then casually said, "Indeed, an elder just now said that a master-disciple relationship, once established, lasts a lifetime. So it's not that I want to take her in as my disciple, but I want to explain to everyone that Lin Yusheng is my long-lost disciple. She and I established a master-disciple relationship over a decade ago, and she came to Beihan Continent alone just to find me."

"what?"

Hearing this, everyone at the table opened their eyes wide, looking incredulous.

Even Lin Yusheng looked confused.

What does Jiang Cixi mean?

She had been her master more than ten years ago?

Could it be that her missing master... is Jiang Cixi?

At this moment, the Great Elder spoke up, "Miss Cixi, we really don't understand what you're saying. Please explain it clearly."

"That's right, Miss Cixi, what exactly does this mean? What is the origin of this girl?"

Jiang Cixi glanced at everyone and explained calmly, "Everyone knows that I lost my memory after running away from home. I forgot everything that happened during my twenty years away, and I have been searching for my lost memories ever since."

"Wu Ya invited Dr. Fang Yaozhong to treat me. The medicine Dr. Fang prescribed was different from the ones I had received before. It really worked after I took it, and my memory gradually returned..."

The elders were shocked upon hearing this. "What? Miss Cixi, you have recovered your memory?"

Jiang Cixi coughed twice and said, "I haven't fully recovered, but I've started to remember some things."

She pointed at Lin Yusheng and said, "Because of the Sikong family incident, I accidentally saw Lin Yusheng, and I did remember that she was the disciple I took in while I was away. Her martial arts skills were all learned from me. I hope the elders can verify this."

"I do not believe!"

Jiang Wushan snorted coldly, stood up, and strode towards Lin Yusheng, staring at her closely. "Ms. Cixi said that she taught you all your martial arts skills! Are you sure?"

Lin Yusheng: “…”

I'm not sure.

Damn it, what the hell is Jiang Cixi doing? Could what she just said be just nonsense?

Is Jiang Cixi really her missing master? Why does she feel a little unreliable?

However, before Lin Yusheng could say anything, Jiang Wushan attacked directly, "In that case, let me test you to see if you are lying!"

Jiang Wushan directly swung his palm towards Lin Yusheng.
