Chapter 118 The concubine who failed to win favor?
The tense atmosphere in the conference room early in the morning was resolved by Xuan Shang's oath to heaven. Everyone was shocked.
So they went back to their rooms to digest the news of this morning. As expected, Xuan Shang followed Pei Cangli and the others directly to their room.
Unfortunately, Si Yunzhou locked him out, so Xuan Shang had no choice but to threaten him by voice transmission, "Si Yunzhou, if you don't open the door, I will report you to the Qian family."
Si Yunzhou had no choice but to open the door. After all, he couldn't ruin Cangli's plan at this critical moment.
Ming Feng and the others looked at their humble master and suddenly felt like laughing. What was going on? They could actually see him being humiliated.
When Xuan Shang walked in and took a look over here, Ming Feng and the others were so scared that they immediately turned around and left. It turned out that the master's melon cannot be eaten casually.
As soon as he entered the room, Xuan Shang casually set up a barrier, then ran to Pei Cangli, pulled her sleeve and said, "Little White Flower, I didn't know it was you last night, otherwise I would never have treated you like that."
Pei Cangli tried to shake him off a few times but failed, so she simply pulled her sleeves and hid behind Si Yunzhou. She was just a mortal now, and Xuan Shang would always touch her when they were together.
Now that she knows she has no spiritual power, she might get even worse. It would be better for her to hide early on.
"Xuan Shang, let go of your hand. Cangli doesn't want to pay attention to you."
"Si Yunzhou, don't think I don't know what you are planning. You are living in the same room with Little White Flower while she has lost her spiritual power. Aren't you just trying to take advantage of her?"
Si Yunzhou was so angry that he drew his sword. Xuan Shang looked at him provocatively and said, "What? Are you angry because I said it right?"
"Xuan Shang, don't talk nonsense. Fellow Daoist Si is not the kind of person you say he is." The one who took advantage of others was not Si Yunzhou, but her, Pei Cangli.
"Then how do you rest at night? There is only one bed in this room."
Damn Xuan Shang, did he have to expose her past? Pei Cangli thought that it was not easy to suppress this matter this morning, and now he brought it up again.
Not noticing that Si Yunzhou's ears were starting to turn red again, Pei Cangli rushed over to cover Xuan Shang's mouth and said, "None of your business."
"It doesn't matter to me. I'll stay here tonight too."
Pei Cangli and Si Yunzhou said in unison, "No."
"Why not? If he can live here, why can't I?"
"To the outside world, he is my senior brother who takes care of me. If you move in, we will have three men living in one room. What will others think?"
"Then let him go out, I'll take care of you."
Si Yunzhou drew his sword and refused categorically, "Don't even think about it."
Xuan Shang, this hooligan, tried to take advantage of Cangli last time and was whipped by Cangli. Now it is obvious that he has ulterior motives, but he can't see it.
Xuan Shang directly acted coquettishly towards Pei Cangli, "Little White Flower, I just want to make it up to you. What happened last night is all my fault. Just let me take care of you, okay?"
Seeing him like this, Si Yunzhou cursed him directly, "Shameless."
What's there to be afraid of being shameless? Now that Xiao Baihua has been with Si Yunzhou for so long, her mind must be leaning towards Si. If he doesn't take some other measures, Xiao Baihua will be kidnapped.
If Mingfeng and the others saw this scene, they would probably be so scared that they would want to wash their eyes in the blood pool.
"No, I have plans at the Qian family, don't expose me."
"What plan? I'll help you complete it as atonement for last night."
"No, I want to do this myself. The Qian family is the enemy who killed my father. I want revenge. I have observed almost everything in the past few days. I am just waiting for the last step to finish it off."
"Little White Flower, you can't use your spiritual power, are you lying to them?"
"It was a lie to them at first, but it turned out to be true later."
Xuan Shang glanced at Si Yunzhou with disdain. "Some people are so useless that they can't even protect others?"
"It has nothing to do with Brother Si. I sealed my heart meridian myself."
"Then why are you sealing your heart meridians?"
"When you see your enemy, your body instinctively feels pain in your heart, so you seal your heart meridian."
Hearing Pei Cangli say this, Xuan Shang stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "Little White Flower, it's my fault that I'm late."
Pei Cangli wanted to pull her hand out, but unfortunately Xuan Shang was holding it too tightly, not to mention that she had no spiritual power at the moment.
"Xuan Shang, let go of your hand."
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Yunzhou swung his sword.
Xuan Shang had no choice but to let go and yelled at Si Yunzhou, "Are you crazy? What if you hurt her?"
Si Yunzhou directly pulled Pei Cangli behind him, blocking Xuan Shang's sight and said, "Of course I won't hurt Cangli. She has a defensive ring on her hand."
"My sword only kills the shameless."
"Little White Flower, I was wrong just now. I just suddenly heard you say that your heart hurt, so I grabbed you in a hurry and wanted to see if you are feeling better now?"
Pei Cangli's cold voice came from behind Si Yunzhou, "Xuan Shang, this is the last time. You knew that I have lost my spiritual power, but you still touched me. This is taking advantage of my misfortune and showing no respect for me."
"If it happens again, we will just be enemies."
Hearing Pei Cangli say this, Xuan Shang had no choice but to apologize solemnly and promised not to do it again.
Then Pei Cangli ordered him to leave and he left in disgrace.
As soon as he left, Si Yunzhou directly set up two combined formations, which could hold out for a while. Now the situation has become complicated and they must be more careful.
"Cang Li, are you going to change your plan next?"
"For now, let's stick to the original plan and ignore Xuan Shang and the others. If his master insists on interfering, I will untie his heart meridian in advance."
"Cang Li, it's all my fault that I'm not strong enough. That's why you have to work so hard and endure so much pain."
"Friend Si, you are wrong. If you were not strong, how could the head of the Qian family accept you as his son-in-law? Besides, this is my own business, and I am already sorry for dragging you into this."
"Cang Li, don't say that. I'm very happy to be able to help you, and I'm very glad to be with you this time."
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Si, have you investigated the person who plotted against me last night?"
Si Yunzhou was looking at Pei Cangli with tenderness in his eyes, waiting for her reply, but Pei Cangli directly changed the subject.
He had to force a change. If he continued talking, the atmosphere would become either ambiguous or awkward. The key point was that Pei Cangli didn't like either of these two atmospheres.
Hearing Pei Cangli's question, Si Yunzhou paused, but still said, "I didn't have time to tell him this morning. I must first give Qian Sanwan a heads-up and see how he reacts."
"Okay, talk to him about this at noon."
On the other side, when Xuan Shang returned to the house, the air pressure was a little low, so Ming Feng and Ming Xue dared not to breathe and could only communicate with their eye contact.
"Master, what's wrong? He was fine just now."
"Looking at this, was he kicked out?"
"Do you feel that the master is like the concubine who failed in her fight for favor?"
Mingxue was about to nod when she heard Xuanshang mumbling to himself.
"You said, I was just worried about her and pulled her hand, why did she get angry? She even said that if I do this again in the future, she will become my enemy?"
Xuan Shang was puzzled. Many female ghost cultivators wanted to climb over his bed, but he sucked their souls out of them. Why was it different for Xiao Baihua?
Mingfeng and Mingxue looked at each other, thought about all the sad things in their lives, and then suppressed the upturned corners of their lips.
Ming Xue said cautiously, "My Lord, you can't treat the female cultivators of the human race the same way we treat the ghost race."
"Then what should I do?"
"Humans are very reserved in everything they do, unlike us ghosts who are unrestrained and direct. So in the future, you must remember not to touch her without her consent, and you must learn to respect her."
"Yes, what you said makes sense. Little White Flower also said that I don't respect her. So what should I do?"
"Don't act on your own, ask the other person what they think, put her ideas first, and support all her decisions."
"Then if she decides to ignore me, should I support her?"
Mingxue was tired, but she didn't dare to say, "Master, it depends on the situation."
"Since you are so experienced, the recent missions outside will be handed over to others. You will stay by my side and help me with strategies."
