After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Chapter 323 Jun Lanjin's Sarcastic Attitude

Xie Xing's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Stop talking, stop talking now, or she'll give herself away!

Chao Le looked at Xie Yuze strangely: "I can understand if this brother has designs on my beautiful concubine."

"But after all, I have already made love with Jiao'er, so this brother should not have any more thoughts about people he shouldn't have in front of me."

"Make it a fait accompli!" Xie Yuze almost cracked his voice.

His gaze suddenly turned to Xie Xing.

Xie Xing: "..."

[Nonsense! Who said anything about them having sex?!]

Don't slander my innocence!

Xie Xing shouted.

Upon hearing this thought, Xie Yuze subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Nothing.

That's good.

Jun Lanjin tapped his fingers on the table, and upon hearing this, he glanced at Xie Xing with a half-smile, and said with a smile, "Your Highness's beautiful concubine is truly enviable."

Chao Le raised his chin and said, "Of course."

He turned to Xie Xing and said, "This little girl is incredibly talented, and her chess skills are exceptional. I am no match for her."

"You were just saying you were going to perform some kind of magical trick for me, weren't you?"

Chao Le looked at Xie Xing.

"Magic?" Jun Lanjin replied with a half-smile.

Chao Le suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, that's the magic trick!"

How could the Ghost King know?

Chao Le looked at Jun Lanjin with a curious expression.

Jun Lanjin's smile vanished, and he said coldly, "Because a woman has also performed with me before."

"But a bouquet of flowers just appeared out of nowhere?"

As Jun Lanjin spoke, his glares kept drifting towards Xie Xing.

Xie Xing: "..."

She doesn't have any flowers here, so where is she supposed to conjure up flowers every day?

Adding insult to chaos!

"Magic? What magic?" Xie Yuze was still clueless.

How come he's never heard of it?

Chao Le glanced at Xie Xing, straightened her back, and said loudly, "Jiao'er, you show them what magic really is!"

"on!"

Xie Xing: "..."

Haha!

Is she a clown in a circus?

Xie Xing looked like he had a very hard life, especially under Jun Lanjin's intense gaze.

Xie Xing sighed and performed the magic trick he had just prepared for Chao Le in front of Jun Lanjin and Xie Yuze.

She asked Chao Le for a copper coin.

"This copper coin is now in my hand." Xie Xing thought for a moment, then raised his fist in front of Jun Lanjin and said, "Please blow on it, sir."

Jun Lanjin glanced at her, and finally slowly blew a breath on Xie Xing's fair fist.

“Now…” Xie Xing smiled, snapped his fingers, and opened his hand, revealing a jade pendant.

"Huh??" Chao Le was genuinely surprised this time.

He strode towards Xie Xing, looked at the jade pendant, and said, "How could a copper coin turn into a jade pendant?"

"Moreover, this jade pendant is so large that even if it's an illusion, it won't escape the eyes of us martial artists."

Xie Xing chuckled and handed the jade pendant to Jun Lanjin, saying, "I originally wanted to please Your Highness, but since Your Highness wants them to see it, I'll give this jade pendant to you, sir."

"Your Highness..."

Xie Xing flipped his hand again, and the copper coin appeared in his palm once more.

Chao Le's eyes widened.

"It's just a smokescreen," Xie Xing said slowly as he put the copper coin back into his sleeve and heard Chao Le's words.

"A blind trick?"

Chao Le looked at Xie Xing with a puzzled expression.

Xie Xing shook his head: "Your Highness, please let me keep it a secret. If I tell you everything, there won't be any fun in the future."

"From now on?" Jun Lanjin repeated slowly.

Xie Yuze looked at Xie Xing with a puzzled expression.

He felt that Xie Xing in this life was different from Xie Xing in the previous life.

In his past life, Xie Xing was filled with resentment and jealousy.

They would never even attempt such tricks.

Is she Xie Xing?

Could it be that some evil spirit has possessed his sister?

Upon realizing this, Xie Yuze's expression changed.

He looked at Xie Xing warily.

Chao Le arranged for Xie Yuze and Jun Lanjin to stay in the mansion, and even placed them next to Xie Xing's courtyard.

Xie Xing really knows how to thank.

She was at her wit's end.

……

That night.

Xie Xing had just stepped out of the house when he heard a familiar voice: "Where is this beautiful concubine planning to go in the middle of the night?"

Xie Xing was startled.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jun Lanjin sitting on a treetop in her yard, his hands supporting his chin, his gaze fixed on Xie Xing. Their eyes met, and Jun Lanjin lazily raised his hand to greet Xie Xing, "Oh, what a coincidence, this beautiful young lady."

"A beautiful girl who has captivated the fifth prince of the Southern Kingdom."

Xie Xing: "..."

She rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless, and couldn't help but say, "What a coincidence! Isn't the Lord here specifically waiting for me to come out?"

She also thought that she could sneak into the Ghost King's courtyard in the dead of night when Chao Le wasn't paying attention, and hopefully she could contact Xie Yuze.

She was genuinely curious about how Xie Yuze had come to deal with the Ghost King.

Could it be that the Ghost King saved Xie Yuze?

Jun Lanjin chuckled: "I am not as charming as Miss Xie. It has only been a short time since we last met. Did Miss Xie run all the way from Chu to the South to become someone's concubine?"

"If I had known it would be like this, I could have been merciful and given you a concubine."

Xie Xing could easily detect the sarcastic tone in Jun Lanjin's words.

She asked helplessly, "What does the Ghost King mean by this?"

"If I had a choice, I wouldn't want to be someone's concubine. He insisted that I become his concubine, what could I do?"

"I can't exactly commit suicide, can I?"

Jun Lanjin was speechless for a moment.

Even so, Jun Lanjin felt extremely dissatisfied whenever he thought that Xie Xing's magic tricks, which he used to please people, had been shown to many others besides him.

This liar.

While it may be said that he is unique in the world, the same methods used on him have also been used on others.

His words are as meaningless as farting.

Jun Lanjin chuckled: "Is that so?"

"That Fifth Miss Xie is truly charming."

Xie Xing: "Thank you for the compliment."

She paused for a moment before finally speaking, "Um, Your Majesty, I have a question that I'm curious about. I wonder if you could answer it for me?"

"Hmm?" Jun Lanjin gave a light hum.

"I wonder what you need the Tian Shan snow lotus for?"

If Xie Xing doesn't confront the Ghost King, he definitely won't confront the Ghost King.

Jun Lanjin narrowed his eyes behind his mask and said, "The Tianshan Snow Lotus is a medicinal herb. I brought it here naturally to be used in medicine."

Xie Xing paused for a moment.

Indeed, the last time the doctor took the Ghost King's pulse, he found it was a death pulse.

The Heavenly Snow Lotus can cure all poisons and internal injuries. If the Ghost King obtains the Heavenly Snow Lotus, he can not only repair his injuries but also enhance his internal strength, making him even more extraordinary.

Xie Xing immediately gave up on trying to reason with the Ghost King.

She planned to obtain the Tianshan snow lotus through various means.
