If he was not injured, it would be impossible for him to stay and take care of him.

However, the opportunity before them was too good. To be honest, they were grateful to those people who had helped them. If they hadn’t forced Zhang Ronghua to use his secret technique and severely injured his vitality, they wouldn’t have had such a good opportunity.

Although she was grateful, if they had not been killed by Zhang Ronghua, Su Qiutang would have pulled out their tendons and skinned them alive. How dare they touch people from her faction? Did they really think they were paper tigers?

After pondering for a moment, he steeled his heart and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear,””lf he still doesn’t agree, find an opportunity to take him down! As long as you become his man, even if you are unwilling, you will marry the underling!”

Shi Xueyuan gritted her teeth, her face filled with hesitation, not knowing what to say.

“Humph!” Su Qiutang snorted coldly.

It was like a clap of thunder, scaring her so much that she hurriedly bent over.

Su Qiutang continued,” If you’re not my person, do you think you’re worthy of him? Or his wife? It was simply impossible! I’ve given you a chance. If you can’t grab it this time, I’ll let someone else take it next time! You have to understand that a person like him, handsome, knowledgeable, capable, talented, and with a high cultivation base, is hard to find in the entire Grand Xia.”

At this point, Shi Xueyuan could not refuse and could only agree,'”‘This subordinate understands!”

He put on a smiling face.

Su Qiutang reached out her hand and patted her shoulder.””You’re bengong’s person, bengong will naturally think for you! It wasn’t a loss for such a person to submit to him.”

That was all he had to say. He could only wait for the results.

With her hands behind her back, Su Qiutang turned around and left.

After she left.

Shi Xueyuan was like a deflated balloon, sitting on the threshold in a daze. She did not care about the dirt on the ground or dirtying her dress. She looked at the sky, her heart filled with complicated feelings.

In the past, when he was in the Phoenix Guard, as long as he did his own things well and completed the tasks handed down by the higher-ups, although it was very tiring, he did not have to be as powerless as he was now.

In the previous competition, talents, the Six Arts of a Gentleman, looks, temperament, etc., all the younger generation of the Phoenix Guards who matched the age had participated. Everyone had brought out 120 percent of their abilities, wanting to stand out. In the end, she won. She did not expect to be assigned such a task.

Zhang Ronghua was indeed not bad. He was already at the seventh tier of the Grandmaster Realm at such a young age, and he was even a Rank-4 official. Although his martial arts talent was not monstrous, he was still at the top without the support of any cultivation resources! However, his ability to come out in the government was too strong. He had fought with Qian Wenli, He Wenxuan, and Grand Secretary Cui, and now he was in control of the Scholar’s Hall. He had written the biography of the Celestial Emperor, and he had been rewarded by His Majesty. He had also received the True Dragon Token. It had left a deep mark in His Majesty’s heart. When he recovered, his power would definitely improve.

She Imew that Su Qiutang was right. If she was not a Phoenix Guard, it would be impossible for her to be matched with such a young hero and a rising star in the officialdom! Even if she was forced to marry him, she would at most be a concubine, let alone a wife. This also depended on her family background. Her background was ordinary, and she could not even be a concubine.

As one of the best of the younger generation of the Phoenix Guards, she was ranked first in terms of comprehensive strength. With her beauty and temperament, she could go to the hall and cook. She also had her own pride. She had once imagined meeting a satisfactory husband, and the two of them

would grow old together, but she knew that this was impossible!

Once you enter the Phoenix Guard, your life and death, including marriage, are not up to you unless you leave! However, if they wanted to leave, they would have to betray the Phoenix Guards and be hunted down. There was no place to hide in this vast world.

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. His head hurt badly.

“Sigh!”

After a long while, Shi Xueyuan helplessly sighed. Her confused eyes gradually became firm.

He stood up from the doorsill and poured some warm water into a basin. He then took a clean towel and slowly walked into the room.

In the bedroom.

He could sense that Snow Garden had not left. She had been waiting at the door. Zhang Ronghua felt bitter. He knew what Su Qiutang was up to. It was an open scheme. If she had not pretended to be injured, he could have rejected her. But now, he did not have the strength to chase her away. Otherwise, things would be exposed. It would be very unpleasant! This woman didn’t care about martial ethics and actually forcefully arranged a honey trap.

When she heard the door close, her heart sank.

He thought of the most terrifying possibility. What if, what if she forcefully took possession of him?

Shi Xueyuan was not a weak woman. She was at the seventh tier of the Zongshi realm and her cultivation was not bad.

Unless he stopped pretending and subdued her. That way, there was only one outcome left: kill her! In that case, he would completely offend Su Qiutang. If it was serious, it would cause even more trouble. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he was not willing to take this path.

There was only one path left. The only one who could break this situation was Yang Hongling!

Thinking of her, Zhang Ronghua was helpless. Was she waiting for him to apologize?

The sound of light footsteps could be heard. Shi Xue Yuan had already walked in and placed the basin on the ground. Looking at the face in front of him, he had distinct features and handsome facial features. When he thought of what was about to happen, his heart jumped up in disappointment.

After a quick glance, he retracted his gaze.

She stretched out her hand and took out the towel from the basin. She twisted it fiercely and walked over. She stopped by the bed and gently said, “Your body smells like sweat.. Let me help you wipe it off!”
