Everyone present had different expressions.
Ji Rufeng's finger lightly knocked on the table, his diamond-shaped lips curved slightly in a faint smile, but there was a trace of a smile that was not a smile in his eyes, and he said: "Although love has admitted that I'm your biological sister, but I dare to ask, how did Princess Consort Chen guess it?"
Although Ji Rufeng knew that Shang Zhiqing had left an opening for Xie Qingrong from the start, but even if there was an opening, without any evidence, based on Xie Qingrong's personality, she would definitely not be someone who would recklessly expose it.
It was clear that Xie Qingrong had also guessed what Ji Rufeng was thinking. Holding the Ruyi Cake that Xuanyuan Chen had just given her and taking a small bite, it was extremely spicy and sweet, causing him to be unable to help her appetite to increase greatly.
After he slowly finished the Ruyi Cake, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the crumbs of the pastries on his hands. Only then, did he explain his question to Ji Rufeng.
"From the very beginning, I sensed that my sister had an ulterior motive for approaching me. The crossword puzzles that we met on the street must have been arranged by my sister. "
"Among those two riddles, one was a white paper with a melodious voice, and the other was a beautiful face with the color of the moon. Combined together, it was Zhirong, who complemented Zhiqing."
"My sister's surname is Shang, just like my mother's. Even though there are a myriad of merchants in the world, when there are many coincidences, it will become inevitable. "
At this point, he drank a mouthful of tea to moisten his throat.
"However, just by relying on these, it doesn't mean that love is your sister." Ji Rufeng retorted.
Xie Qingrong also did not deny it. She nodded openly, and said without hiding anything: "I was just testing my sister. If my sister denied it, I do not intend to continue pursuing the matter. "The truth of the matter will emerge one day."
After saying that, he shrugged his shoulders. With a cold and indifferent expression, he made such a cute and mischievous gesture. Not only did he not act out of character, he even looked young and lively.
Interesting.
Ji Rufeng twisted his fingers, suddenly feeling that Xie Qingrong was actually a rather interesting person, she wasn't as cold and indifferent as the information he had gathered.
Xuanyuan Chen did not miss the interest that flashed past his eyes. He raised his eyebrows, poured a cup of wine, and toasted to Ji Rufeng.
Seeing that, Ji Rufeng also picked up a wine pot on the table, poured himself a cup, held onto his wine cup, and returned it to Xuanyuan Chen.
Their gazes intersected, and the sound of crackling could be heard in the air.
One had indifferent eyes while the other had a cold aura with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Xie Qingrong did not care about the invisible pressure at all, but a small hand under the table pulled on Xuanyuan Chen's sleeve.
The corner of Xuanyuan Chen's eyes moved. He took the initiative to withdraw his gaze, drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and said indifferently: "The great army from the north pushed the boundaries. With such a large sum, I wonder if Ji Family has received any news yet."
Up till now, if the relationship between Xie Qingrong and her sister was just a side dish, then the following topic of probing was the real appetizer.
In response to Xuanyuan Chen's probing, the corner of Ji Rufeng's mouth curled up slightly as he played around with the porcelain white wine cup in interest. After playing with it for a long time, he still paid attention to the change in Xuanyuan Chen's expression from the corner of his eyes.
After playing with it for a long time, Xuanyuan Chen still remained calm, he did not even reveal such a subtle expression like a frown.
"Wu Huan has been ready to make a move for many years, the army pressing down on the land is just a cover. Their real goal is just to get in touch with someone from the inside."
Ji Rufeng raised his eyebrows. He told half of what he knew to Xuanyuan Chen, but hid half of it, so Xuanyuan Chen could guess and check for himself. As for whether or not he could guess it, it had nothing to do with him.
Speaking of a certain someone, Xuanyuan Chen could already guess who that someone was.
When he received the news that Xuanyuan Jing had gone to the Mo Bei alone, he urged the General Xie to join hands and go all the way north to Wu Huan's borders instead.
It looked like Wu Huan and Xuanyuan Jing had already teamed up, with Xuanyuan Jing on the verge of death, they had to behead him tomorrow. Wu Huan was panicking, and only sent two hundred thousand soldiers to suppress the enemy, to confuse the public.
His true purpose was to save Xuanyuan Jing.
It was just that the power Xuanyuan Jing had at his disposal had almost been eradicated. Wu Huan had mustered such a large force and made a huge move just to save the crippled Xuanyuan Jing. It was truly a strange thing to do.
Evidently, Xie Qingrong had also thought of this, as she looked at Xuanyuan Chen's dark phoenix eyes with some suspicion.
Xuanyuan Chen stroked the back of Xie Qingrong's hand, and said indifferently: "Thank you for your reminder, Elder Ji."
Ji Rufeng actually started laughing, a clear and bright laughter resonated within the entire private room. After laughing, a gaze of unknown meaning turned towards Xie Qingrong, placed it on her handsome face, and said enigmatically: "What a small greeting, and no respect at all."
Meeting gift? What do you mean by a greeting gift when you are neither family nor friends?
There seemed to be other stories? Interesting.
Although Xuanyuan Chen had some suspicions in his heart, he still nodded indifferently, and a look of interest flashed past his eyes.
It was just a few simple words and a dark wave had passed by. They didn't seem to notice it at all. However, everyone present was smart and had sensed it long ago.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Shang Zhiqing took the initiative to start a conversation, and acted as if she was interested, "Do you guys know, five days from now, the First Martial Alliance will choose a new Alliance Master to fight against the number one Demonic Sect?"
"Oh?" Xie Qingrong paused for a moment with the chopsticks in her hand.
Seeing that Xie Qingrong had become interested, Shang Zhiqing poured out all of the information she knew even more forcefully than ever, "Rumours have it that the Alliance Master of Martial Forest's First Alliance and the head of the First Demon Sect are a couple, the two of them were originally kind and loving each other, simply envious of the people around them."
"But I don't know what happened. The two of them suddenly became enemies. One became martial arts justice, and the other became martial arts antagonism. All these years, the First Demonic Sect's style was chaotic and their morals were low, it had already aroused the dissatisfaction of Wu Lin's people. That's why I plan to re-elect my Master Wu Lin and suppress the evil sects. "
"What about the original chief?" Xie Qingrong asked.
Shang Zhiqing rubbed her hands together, and replied: "I heard that last year, when we were fighting against the Demonic Sect, Alliance Master was injured by the Sect Leader, and was severely injured on the bed. Otherwise, the re-selection of Master Wu Lin should take place two years later. After all, Master Wu Lin has chosen once every five years. "
Xie Qingrong nodded. Originally, she was just a little interested, but after Shang Zhiqing's explanation, she was full of interest.
She had once said that she would make the profound mechanism the number one information pavilion in the world, not only in the imperial court, but also in the martial arts world.
It just so happened that he could go and take a look at the so-called Martial Arts Competition. As for the women in men's clothing entering the army camp, this plan would have to be slightly delayed. After all, Xuanyuan Chen already knew Wu Huan's true purpose.
Thinking about it, Xie Qingrong suggested to Xuanyuan Chen: "Chen, why don't we go and watch the show. "I have never seen a competition between cultivators."
"Yes." Xuanyuan Chen replied indifferently.
He had never refuted Xie Qingrong's suggestion.
