I'm not a psychopath!

Jiang Qing watched Qin Xiaosui disappear into the snowy sky with a wry smile in his heart.

He shook his head and had no choice but to chase after her. No one expected that Qin Xiaosui seemed to be angry. Jiang Qing chased her straight into the night.

Qin Xiaosui's figure is like a wisp of smoke, looming in the moonlight. Even in this anxious pursuit, one has to admit that Qin Xiaosui's elegant appearance is heart-warming.

"Xiao Sui, stop running!"

The nights in the snow country are more quiet and cold than in the south. A full moon hangs deserted in the night sky, and the moonlight reflects a faint blue light on the snow, like a dream.

Qin Xiaosui stopped.

Wearing a light blue dress, she looked particularly refined in the ice and snow.

Finally, Jiang Qing caught up with Qin Xiaosui.

The latter stood quietly under the ice crystal tree, looking at the bright moon, in a daze.

"Xiao Sui..." Jiang Qing called softly, "It was really a misunderstanding just now. You know that she and I have nothing."

"I know." She said softly.

"Then you're still running?"

Qin Xiaosui shook his head gently and turned around. Under the moonlight, her cheeks seemed to have a hint of anger, which turned into helplessness for a moment.

She raised her head and said:

"Jiang Qing, I like you."

Jiang Qing's breath froze, and then fell into silence.

One minute...two minutes...

The hope in Qin Xiaosui's eyes became dimmer, and his head gradually lowered.

"Xiao Sui."

Jiang Qing suddenly said: "I haven't called you 'little junior sister' for a long time, and I'm just one step away from winning the Battle of Fate.

At that time, I will have enough status and strength to do everything I want to do.

I……"

"Stop drawing cakes for me..." Qin Xiaosui looked up, his eyes sparkling like never before, "Can you answer me directly for once.

Like it or don't like it? "

"like!"

Jiang Qing held Qin Xiaosui's slightly red hand distressedly and hugged her into his arms.

"Then you should never leave me, okay..."

Jiang Qing lowered his head, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Everything around them seemed to have stopped, except for each other's heartbeats and breathing.

"Of course."

After a long time, Jiang Qing remembered that there was something important going on. He told Qin Xiaosui that he was going to see the old man of the Xu family, and the two of them returned.

Compared with other magnificent buildings, the Xu family's old house looks simple and solemn. Two stone lions stand guard in front of the door, and the family motto "Loyalty lasts for a long time, civil and military succession lasts for a long time" is engraved on the lintel.

Jiang Qing walked into the door and was faced with a spacious courtyard. The ancient trees in the courtyard were towering, with lush branches and leaves. It was unknown what kind of tree was not afraid of the cold. The light spilled on the ground through the gaps, forming mottled shadows.

He was led to the study by a servant. The furnishings in the study were simple, with a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and an ancient wooden desk with wet ink and messy books.

Soon, a tall old man walked in slowly. This was the old man of the Xu family.

——Xu Beitian.

He was wearing a green gown. Although he was old, his steps were steady and his eyes were sharp.

"Junior Jiang Qing, greet Senior Xu." Jiang Qing bowed respectfully.

Xu Beitian nodded slightly, motioned Jiang Qing to sit down, and then said straight to the point: "After hearing about your series of deeds in the outside world, I admire your talent very much. I have called you here today to discuss something."

Jiang Qing was shocked. He didn't know what Xu Beitian was going to propose. He replied cautiously: "Senior, please tell me. I will do my best."

"What do you think of Starlight?"

No way?

Jiang Qing could already predict this bloody trick. Isn't this old man going to do something like forcing a marriage?

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Xingguang... is a bit stupid, and her cultivation level is not high. She is relatively good-looking, but good looks are of no use."

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qing felt a little regretful. According to this routine, Xu Xingguang wouldn't be hiding in any corner and listen, right?

Xu Beitian took a deep look at Jiang Qing and said slowly: "Ahem, let's not talk about this anymore. In fact, I want you to accept Beichuan as your disciple."

As soon as these words came out, not only Jiang Qing, but also the servants standing aside looked shocked.

Xu Beichuan is the strongest person in this generation of the Xu family. With these words, Xu Beitian undoubtedly believes that the entire Xu family, at least the younger generation, is inferior to Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "Senior, this matter is of great importance. Can you give me a suitable reason?"

"The reason is that you are strong enough, and although my eyes are a little cloudy, they are not much worse than when I met the late emperor when I was not young, but they are not much worse. At least I can still see people very accurately.

You are a person of great luck.

When I was young, I stayed with the late emperor, and that's how the Xu family came into being. "

The implicit meaning of this statement is that Xu Beichuan can achieve great results in the future by following Jiang Qing.

"Then, what's in it for me?"

Jiang Qing spoke bluntly.

"Happily, I like to talk to bright people. Let's put it this way, as long as you accept Beichuan as your disciple, the entire Xu family will be at your disposal from now on."

"despite?"

"despite."

"Then I'll think about it."

Xu Beitian nodded, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes, "You should think carefully before telling me. However, no matter what your decision is, the Xu family will remember everything you have done to us."

After the meeting.

Jiang Qing sat quietly in front of the window, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, with ups and downs in her heart.

Accept Xu Beichuan as a disciple?

It should be a good thing, but he is a disciple of Ziyun Sect. If he accepts the eldest son of the Xu family as a disciple, doesn't it mean that the Xu family will bow to Ziyun Sect?

Xu Beitian couldn't have not considered this, so why did he do that?

Jiang Qing thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out for a while. At present, it seems that agreeing to this proposal will only benefit him, but he will also be tied to the Xu family by this relationship.

In this world full of power and games, everyone may be a chess piece.

The moonlight is like water, sprinkled on Jiang Qing's body. His brows are tightly knit, and his heart is full of entanglement. This is a major choice related to the future, and he must be cautious.

The next morning.

It is the day when Jiang Qing and his party set off. They must rush to Shuangya City. Things here have been delayed for too long.

As for the matter of accepting disciples, let's talk about it after returning.

Before leaving, Xu Tianchuan gave Jiang Qing a token symbolizing the head of the Xu family as agreed. This gift is not cheap.

…

The flying boat passed through the sky, leaving a deep mark, as if foreshadowing the difficulty of their journey.

Frost Cliff City, located in the center of the northern border, is built on a huge cliff with towering cliffs. On the cliffs are a series of undulating palaces and towers, all carved from ice, transparent with a faint blue-green hue.

The city walls are solid and thick, with a layer of fine white frost on the surface, shining in the sun, as if inlaid with countless sparkling diamonds.

The flying boat landed outside Frost Cliff City.

"Let's clarify the mission again, sneak into Frost Cliff City, seize control of the city defense center, and finally persist until the Xu family army arrives."
