Jiang Xuan stood up suddenly and reached for the towel on the shelf. The water level in the tub was only above his knees, so he was bathing without wearing anything.
Chen Yuanshu saw it clearly at once, and her pupils shrank suddenly, but her face did not change and she did not avoid it. Instead, she said coldly: "I didn't expect that the dignified Jiang clan leader would also act like a hooligan."
"You barged in without saying hello, who is the hooligan between us?" Jiang Xuan asked back.
"You are a man, and you are not at a disadvantage in this matter."
"You are at a disadvantage and you are still staring at it?"
"Who is staring at it?!" Chen Yuanshu couldn't hold it anymore.
"Shh!" Jiang Xuan gestured to her, and lay back in the bathtub. He wiped his shoulders with a towel wrapped around his hands, closed his eyes and said casually: "Go ahead, what are you talking about?"
"Two things, I'll leave after I finish talking."
Chen Yuanshu said, "First, you pretended not to know me before, which is good. Keep it up. We have no dispute on this matter, and we can't control our next meeting. No matter what, what happened in the mountains, let it stay in the mountains."
"It seems that you are worried about me."
Jiang Xuan understood Chen Yuanshu's intention, and lay down and tilted his head to look at her: "If you are really worried, we should walk more."
"What do you mean?" Chen Yuanshu didn't understand.
"You just don't want people to know what happened in the mountains."
Jiang Xuan looked at Chen Yuanshu, "But you can't guarantee that you won't show a strange look every time you see me. The more you avoid it, the more we don't communicate in public. Isn't it more suspicious? I don't know if you are tired, but I am quite tired."
Chen Yuanshu probably understood what Jiang Xuan meant. You can't always act in front of other people, right?
"When you first knew my identity today, your expression was almost like you knew me before."
"And in front of Lord Lei Hong, when I asked your brother to sign a life and death agreement, your eyes didn't look like the emotion you had towards a stranger... A tribesman challenged your brother, the pride of heaven, shouldn't you be cold and disdainful? Don't deny it, you people from the main city all look at our tribesmen like this!"
"But why are you angry? Do you think I'm trying to provoke you?"
"You observe very carefully." Chen Yuanshu said with a little sarcasm, with a hint of meaning.
"It's just the disadvantage of being too sensitive. Do you think I'm willing to pay more attention to you?" Jiang Xuan said, "You obviously haven't experienced this kind of thing. You are so panicked that you can't act well. You can't let it go. You always feel that someone wants to pester you. Is there no good person in the world except you? Can't I be a person who values loyalty? We agreed not to see each other again. It's not anyone's fault to meet unexpectedly. Just get to know each other openly. You can't even talk, so I can't take the initiative to say more to you, as it seems like I'm lustful! It would be fine if you could avoid it all the time! But you can't! I was taking a shower and you broke in quietly. You are really rude, don't you know?" Silence. Chen Yuanshu looked at Jiang Xuan with a confused face, and her eyes gradually became unbelievable. If she heard it correctly... Jiang Xuan was scolding her! Obviously, Chen Yuanshu was upset by Jiang Xuan's behavior of breaking in when he was taking a shower because she was not sure of his character. The two had "cleared their debts" in Heitan Mountain. Jiang Xuan would not tolerate any offense from her.
The silence lasted for a few breaths.
"I, I, I'm sorry... I..." Chen Yuanshu was really confused. Maybe she felt that what Jiang Xuan said was really reasonable. She subconsciously apologized to Jiang Xuan, but stopped immediately. Her self-esteem did not allow her to continue apologizing.
Annoyance rose from the bottom of Chen Yuanshu's heart.
She didn't expect that she would be intimidated by a sixteen-year-old tribal boy. No one dared to talk to her like this. People of the same age did not dare to do so, and Xie Hanjie, a powerful person in the calamity realm, did not dare to do so. It was this little man who was ten years younger than her who scolded her without any scruples, and did not... flatter her at all.
Chen Yuanshu grew up with the praise of her elders, the compliments of her peers, and the admiration of her juniors! Jiang Xuan gave her a brand new experience!
This made Chen Yuanshu very angry, and some subtle emotions grew in her heart.
"He's so tough..." Chen Yuanshu subconsciously flashed this thought in her mind, but her self-esteem forced her to continue, "You-"
"I accept your apology." Jiang Xuan interrupted her words that might have been angry and made her hold them back.
Chen Yuanshu was so angry!
But her upbringing prevented her from being like a shrew.
After taking two deep breaths, she said coldly: "I admit that I was indeed panicked, so what is your solution?"
"Move more and let us become acquaintances." Jiang Xuanlian said, "At least acquaintances in the eyes of others. I want to sign a life and death agreement with your brother. It's normal for you to observe me for your brother or warn me. We don't need to avoid each other when we get to know each other again. The more open we are, the less flaws there will be."
"... Well, okay, I agree." Chen Yuanshu thought and agreed.
If she had heard these words before being scolded, Chen Yuanshu would have suspected that Jiang Xuan had ulterior motives, but Jiang Xuan scolded her without scruples, not afraid of offending her at all, Chen Yuanshu was relieved instead. It seemed that Jiang Xuan really wanted to completely settle the matter between the two in this way.
"The more open, the less flaws, well said." Chen Yuanshu said again.
"Aren't there two things?"
Jiang Xuan stopped looking at her, slid into the bathtub, and closed his eyes facing the beam, "What is the second thing?"
"My brother has returned to Feixue City and wants to ask the elders to come over. It seems that he is determined to sign a life and death agreement with you, and no one can persuade him."
Chen Yuanshu said, "This second thing... I just want to ask, did you really kill the three brothers of the Ge family?"
Jiang Xuan opened his eyes, turned his head to look at her, paused, and sighed: "I am also impressed by you, woman! Either you doubt my character, or you doubt my strength. I said, sister, you You don't know me at all, okay? "
In fact, Jiang Xuan understood why Chen Yuanshu asked such an irrelevant question, so he said directly: "Go back and let someone inform your brother that he is not my opponent and has no chance of winning. I may really kill him by mistake. If he wants to save his reputation and keep his life, he should find a reason not to come back. "
"Your reaction is so big, why do I feel that you are bluffing?"
Chen Yuanshu frowned slightly, looking at him, "And you didn't answer my question directly, did you really kill the three brothers of the Ge family?"
Jiang Xuan's face froze for a moment.
He didn't want to say anything, he was speechless!
Turning his head back and lying down, with a hot towel covering his face directly, Jiang Xuan raised his hand, indicating that Chen Yuanshu could leave.
...
Chen Yuanshu returned to her room and came to the table. It was very dark. She lit the oil lamp and sat down, took out the paper, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, but stopped before writing.
"I believed his lies! He pretended to be powerful, but it was clearly bluffing!" Chen Yuanshu originally planned to write a letter to her brother to let him know what Jiang Xuan said, but after thinking about it, she felt that there was no need. "If he really has the strength to kill the three brothers of the Ge family in the late Xiantian period and can beat my brother, then I might as well marry him!" Chen Yuanshu has always hoped that a man with higher talent than herself will appear to be her husband, and at this time, her idea fell on Jiang Xuan, but with a joking meaning, "It is impossible for a sixteen-year-old to have such talent and strength." ****** Night, Feixue City, Wei's old house. All kinds of news about Jiang Xuan have been passed back for a while. At this time, in a secret room of the Wei family, except for a few robbery realms, all the core figures of the Wei family are there, and Wei Hongkuo is faintly the leader. In the past six months, his status in the Wei family has risen sharply. "There must be something fishy about Jiang Xuan killing the three brothers of the Ge family. Even if Jiang Zhengwu was reborn, he would not have such strength. That bastard was lucky to bring back the heads and get the bounty! Maybe he got a bargain!" Wei Hongkuo said calmly, becoming more and more like a person in charge.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"What the Fourth Master said makes sense!"
A chorus of voices echoed, not just simply giving face to Wei Hongkuo, but what Wei Hongkuo said was also their thoughts.
This is unreasonable, it is impossible!
"But..." Wei Hongkuo's face sank again, "Jiang Xuan was promoted to the late Xiantian in just half a year. Even if he used extraordinary methods, it can show that his talent is probably beyond any genius in our Wei family!"
The secret room was quiet for a while.
Everyone paid attention to Wei Hongkuo's face.
"The cooperation between the Wei family and the Dong family cannot be abolished because of him. Our Wei family lacks more than one future calamity realm. He can't change anything." The tall and thin man on the right of Wei Hongkuo said.
"I heard that Chen Yuanzhou, the number one genius of the Chen family, is going to challenge him! That could help dampen his fighting spirit!" someone else spoke up.
