Being tortured by her whole family, she no longer pretends to be a real daughter!

The man said bluntly: "This trip to Canghai City is very important. If we take her with us, it will be too much of a hindrance!"

In the eyes of everyone, Lin Yusheng was just a little girl who had just reached adulthood. She was just a burden to this operation.

"That's right, Miss Cixi, you should carefully consider what Jiang Xuanji said. Jiang Xuanji asked you to bring Lin Yusheng with you, but he didn't say why. Sometimes Jiang Xuanji's words are not necessarily right."

"Taking her with us might cause us trouble at a critical moment."

"..."

Listening to the voices of opposition from everyone, Jiang Cixi's eyes darkened slightly.

After a moment of silence, she said, "Since Master Jiang Xuanji said we should take her with us, then we'll listen to him."

"But……"

"Okay, this matter is settled."

Jiang Cixi's unquestionable words fell into the ears of everyone present. Although everyone still disagreed, they did not dare to say anything else.

Jiang Cixi discussed with several elders again and picked out a few elders who were proficient in ancient martial arts, preparing to let them go to Canghai City with her.

The elders naturally felt obliged to do so.

"Ms. Ci Xi, if you need, I can also escort you!" Jiang Wushan said proactively.

Jiang Cixi glanced at him and said calmly, "Third Elder, just stay in the castle and relax."

Jiang Wushan naturally noticed Jiang Cixi's contempt for him. Although he didn't show anything on his face, he secretly clenched his palms.

He wanted to see how long Jiang Cixi could stay in this position!

After the meeting, Lin Yusheng followed Jiang Cixi out of the conference room.

When they reached a deserted place, Jiang Cixi finally spoke: "What are your thoughts on asking you to go to Canghai City this time?"

"I don't have any thoughts on this matter." Lin Yusheng pursed his lips and said, "But I still have some thoughts about whether you are my master."

Hearing this, Jiang Cixi stopped and looked at her sideways, "My memory recovery was fake. I just said that to make them believe the relationship between you and me."

"However, it is true that I taught you your martial arts skills."

Lin Yusheng stared at her with the same black eyes as Jiang Cixi. "So you are really my master?"

Jiang Cixi nodded, "Yes."

"There are some things I forgot for some reason, but Snow White remembers them for me."

"Bai Xue said, I am your master."

"You said your master was a woman about my age. You said she gave you the phoenix-patterned jade token. You said she taught you calligraphy and martial arts. You said she disappeared four years ago. And four years ago, something happened to my parents, so I returned to the Jiang family..."

"How can there be so many coincidences in the world? So isn't the answer clear enough?"

Lin Yusheng pursed his lips, feeling complicated.

So her master is Jiang Cixi, and Jiang Cixi is the person she is looking for.

She stared at Jiang Cixi blankly, with a mist in the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Cixi's expression tightened, "What's wrong?"

Lin Yusheng's eyes were red. "I have a lot to tell you."

"What do you want to say to me?"

Lin Yusheng looked aggrieved. "Do you know that after you left, I was mistaken for the Lin family's daughter and taken back to the Lin family? But they treated me badly, and I wasn't happy at all in the Lin family. That Song Zhilan, who kept saying she was my biological mother, was actually just a vain woman who cared about face. She wasn't even one-tenth as good to me as you were to me."

"Jiang Cixi, I have no father or mother. I grew up with you. You raised me with your own hands. To me, you are my mother."

"I know that someone as powerful as you wouldn't disappear for no reason. I thought you didn't want me anymore and had abandoned me, so I've been wanting to find you and ask you why you left so suddenly."

Jiang Cixi was stunned for a while as she watched the girl's tears well up, especially when she heard her say that to her, she was her mother...

She didn't expect that she was so important to this girl.

She never expected that Lin Yusheng was actually raised by her. No wonder she always felt that this girl's temperament was somewhat similar to her past self.

Jiang Cixi felt a surge of pain in her heart, and for some reason, she even felt a bit guilty.

She reached out and wiped away Lin Yusheng's tears. "I still can't remember what happened in the past, but I didn't mean to abandon you at that time. I probably left to come back and deal with the Jiang family's affairs, but I didn't expect that I would forget everything after I came back."

"However, we, master and disciple, have finally reunited, haven't we?" Jiang Cixi said with a smile, "You said you were an orphan, so from now on, the Jiang family will be your home."

Lin Yusheng looked at Jiang Cixi, pursed his lips and nodded.

At this moment, Xu Lin's voice suddenly came:

"Miss Cixi!"

Lin Yusheng and Jiang Cixi looked over together and saw Xu Lin walking towards them.

His eyes first swept over Lin Yusheng, mixed with a strong sense of dissatisfaction. Then, he bowed in front of Jiang Cixi and said, "Ms. Cixi, I intend to resign from the position of deputy guard chief."

Jiang Cixi was stunned when she heard this, "Why?"

"Because..." Xu Lin hesitated to speak, probably because he was embarrassed to say that he lost the bet to Lin Yusheng.

So Lin Yusheng kindly spoke for him directly, "Xu Lin made a bet with me. If he lost, he would voluntarily resign from his position. He is fulfilling his promise."

Jiang Cixi raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.

She looked at Xu Lin and said, "It seems you still can't change your impulsive and reckless nature."

It goes without saying that it was Xu Lin who took the initiative to provoke this.

Jiang Cixi sighed, "Are you sure you want to resign? You put a lot of effort into running for this position last year."

Xu Lin pinched his palms, of course he was unwilling, but...

Lin Yusheng said, "Jiang Cixi, Xu Lin made a bet in front of all the guards. Even if he didn't resign, he would have lost the support of the people."

Jiang Cixi understood. She looked at Xu Lin and said, "In that case, you will become an ordinary guard."

Xu Lin didn't say anything else. He bowed to Jiang Cixi and left.

On the other side, Li Fei saw Xu Lin coming back and asked, "How is it?"

"I have already submitted my resignation to Miss Cixi."

As soon as Xu Lin said this, the other guards began to whisper to each other, and there was a hint of relief in everyone's eyes, because the next step would definitely be the selection of the deputy guard chief.

Xu Lin looked at the guards and snorted coldly, "I have fulfilled the bet and resigned from my position. Are you satisfied now?"

"But I advise you not to get too complacent too soon. I will still run for the next election! If you don't win, don't blame me!"
