Jin Jiao stood behind the window, listening intently to the conversation in the room.

"The guy outside the window, it's time for him to show up, right?" Long Yuan's voice came from inside the house.

Jin Jiao's heart was shocked, and a hand had already fallen on her shoulder.

Instinctively, she turned her head and saw the owner of that hand—dressed in the clothes of a servant of the Dragon Palace, who was Long Yuan's subordinate.

Long Yuan sent two male servants, looking at this posture, he wanted to take her to the inner hall.

"Bring him in." Long Yuan said from the house.

Led by two male servants, Jin Jiao had no choice but to come to the inner hall.

"Ah, it's the Golden Girl." Long Yuan seemed a little surprised.

“…… Dragon Palace Lord. Jin Jiao said.

"Stand down." Long Yuan said.

The two manservants left the inner sanctum.

"Miss Jin, please take a seat." Long Yuan said.

Jin Jiao sat down in a chair.

"What wind brought you here?" Long Yuan asked.

"Jing Xiaoying." Jin Jiao said.

"I don't remember asking you to come with me." Jing Xiaoying faced Jin Jiao and said.

"Ah, it doesn't matter if these details are now, the important thing is that you two are already in my Dragon Palace." Long Yuan said.

"Really?" Jin Jiao questioned.

"Unless, Miss Jin, can you explain why you're following us and eavesdropping on us?" Long Yuan asked.

Jin Jiao said, "On behalf of the Qilin Palace, I don't want the Dragon Palace to have any alliance with the Lingshuang Sect. ”

"Hehe, if it's just for this," Long Yuan said, "I can assure you that the Dragon Palace will not ally with either the Qilin Palace nor the Lingshuang Sect. ”

Jing Xiaoying looked at Long Yuan suspiciously, as if she was not persuaded by him.

"I still have something to talk about with Miss Jing, Miss Jin, you can listen to it from the side," Long Yuan said, "However, you will have to stay in the room I arranged for you at that time." ”

Jin Jiao understood as soon as she heard it - he was going to put her under house arrest in the guest room.

But why? What is he going to do with himself?

Jin Jiao fell silent.

Long Yuan said to Jing Xiaoying: "Now that the undercurrents of various countries are surging, and the various sects are fighting for me, and even the people around me are all ambitious, do you have a way to come up with ideas for me?" ”

"Me?" Jing Xiaoying said, "I can kill and fight for you, but I'm not a strategist, I secretly calculate people's affairs, I'm not good at it." I'm going to make moves, and they're all above board. People all died in front of me, and they couldn't be unjustly killed, but they all looked at my face and stepped into the Yellow Spring! ”

Long Yuan paused for a moment, as if he was buffering Jing Xiaoying's momentum.

He said: "Hehe, you are really bloody Fang Gang, I like it." I don't need a resolute and resolute subordinate like you. ”

"If you want to woo me, you don't have to." Jing Xiaoying said to him, "I am loyal to Sect Master Ling

Sincerity is unswerving. ”

"Hehe, Ling Qingyi is really lucky to have such a loyal apprentice as you." Long Yuan said.

"Loyalty to the Lord, this comes first." Jing Xiaoying said.

"Forgive me for being presumptuous, but if the situation is reversed, do you think Ling Qingyi will also be loyal to you?" Long Yuan asked.

"The sect leader has her own reasons for what she does," Jing Xiaoying said, "As a subordinate, I don't have to ask. ”

Long Yuan looked at her with sharp eyes, and said for a long time: "You seem to be a hard bone." ”

"Haha, my Jing Xiaoying likes to use a tyrannical way to fight with the enemy!"

Jin Jiao, who was listening on the sidelines, couldn't help but shudder.

This Jing Xiaoying's age is not much different from her, but she is so ruthless.

"Your personality is also very arrogant," Long Yuan said, "To put it bluntly, it is arrogant. ”

"At least in terms of momentum, you can't lose to the enemy. Do you say yes? Jing Xiaoying said.

"If Ling Qingyi treats you badly one day, you can come to me to complain to me." Long Yuan said.

"Haha, there won't be a day like that."

"That's not for sure."

"Dragon Palace Master, you seem to be able to predict the future?" Jing Xiaoying said with a smile.

"That's nature, I, Long Yuan, am not an ordinary person."

"Oh? It's peculiar. Jing Xiaoying said.

"Hehe, Jing Xiaoying, do you know that I also have some weaknesses in Ling Qingyi."

"What did you say?"

"That's right, if you're willing to cooperate, maybe I can turn a blind eye to her mistakes."

"You...... You ......" Jing Xiaoying was a little stunned for a while.

"How?" Long Yuan said with a smile.

“…… How do I know you're not kidding me? ”

"Jing Xiaoying, you really look down on me too much." Long Yuan said.

“…… Don't I have a choice? ”

"The choice is yours." Long Yuan said.

"But you didn't give me a choice at all!" Jing Xiaoying said loudly.

"It's said that you are willful, and you really live up to your reputation." Long Yuan said.

"I ...... You say, what do you want me to do before you are willing to write off all the tricks of the sect master? ”

"For Ling Qingyi, are you willing to do anything?"

Jing Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"What a stupid boy...... Long Yuan said, "but since I have such an opportunity to send it to the door, how can I not make good use of it?" ”

"What do you want?" Jing Xiaoying said.

"Jing Xiaoying, you don't have the conditions to bargain with me now."

"Hmm......"

Long Yuan is really ruthless. Jin Jiao thought to herself on the side.

"What if I want you to die in front of me for Ling Qingyi?" Long Yuan's tone was flat

Say.

"W-"

"That's right. You did it yourself in front of me. In that case, I won't care about Ling Qingyi's past. ”

Jing Xiaoying's face was as earthy as earth, her eyes widened, and her eyes were already full of horror.

Tension suddenly enveloped the room.

Jin Jiao felt extremely uncomfortable, and Jing Xiaoying was already in a cold sweat.

"Sure enough, you still don't have the guts." Long Yuan said.

It was too late to say that it was too fast, Long Yuan's sword was already unsheathed, however, it was a woman's hand that held the sword-

Jing Xiaoying was already standing in front of Long Yuan's eyes, holding his freshly drawn sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword was pointed at Long Yuan's throat fiercely.

A smile appeared in Long Yuan's eyes, as if to say: Do you want to finish me?

In the next second, Jing Xiaoying raised her sword and pointed the head of the sword at her heart, and the moment her hand suddenly fell hard-

"Ahh Jing Xiaoying blurted out exclaimed.

"Ding-" The sword had been bounced to the ground.

Jin Jiao's eyes didn't miss a single step - it turned out that it was the flying stone that popped out of Long Yuan's fingers and flicked the sword that Jing Xiaoying was holding away.

"Hehe, it's quite enjoyable...... I'm really sorry for you, Jing Xiaoying. Long Yuan's voice was mixed with the pleasure of watching a good show and his contempt for Jing Xiaoying.

"You think I wouldn't dare?" Jing Xiaoying's eyes were full of anger.

"Don't you dare to kill me?" Long Yuan chuckled, "Still don't dare to kill yourself?" ”

"Both."

"When you pointed your sword at me just now, I was still thinking: things have finally become interesting," Long Yuan said, "Who knows, you actually want to take your own soul with a sword, you really don't take your own life seriously!" ”

“…… What did you say? Jing Xiaoying's fingers holding the sword just now were already bleeding blood.

"Although your courage is commendable, your thinking is too naïve, and you will not be a good subordinate."

"Your subordinates only need to carry out the order, if you think too much, aren't you afraid of rebellion?" Jing Xiaoying looked him in the eye and asked.

"Yes, a good subordinate who dares to take the life of the enemy leader and his own life is really hard to find......" Long Yuan touched his chin, "Plus, you are loyal and cute, how can you not make people excited?" ”

"So you mean ......"

"Tell me the truth, if I arrange you by my side, will you be in Cao Ying's heart in Han, although you are in my Dragon Palace, you only think about doing things for Ling Qingyi?"

Jing Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I don't understand what you mean." ”

"I could have done away with your hand." Long Yuan said, "But I didn't do that. ”

"I owe you so much gratitude." Jing Xiaoying squeezed out a few words from between her teeth.

"Hehe, I didn't abolish your hand because you can still work for me."

"Mine

Position, you should be clear. ”

“…… That's right," Long Yuan seemed interested again, "However, I also want to study how loyal a person can be to his master." Or, what could make her lose her loyalty? ”

“…… Torture you as you please, but if you do this to me, the sect leader will not spare you. ”

"Hahaha...... Long Yuan laughed, "what a stupid boy." ”

Jing Xiaoying looked at her bleeding hand.

Jin Jiao nervously swept her gaze between the two people, feeling very uneasy.

"You, really...... Sect Master Ling who is obsessed with you. Long Yuan said.

"You won't understand." Jing Xiaoying's voice was surprisingly calm.

"Hehe, I don't have the desire to understand that kind of thing." Long Yuan said, "It's you, you are at a good age, and you have a good appearance, if you give it to someone like Ling Qingyi, I really feel worthless for you." I know that you only knew the Lingshuang Sect since you were born, but you can see the real world from me. ”

Jing Xiaoying raised her eyes and looked at him: "You want to give me the whole world?" ”

"I can show you this."

"Your world?" The corners of Jing Xiaoying's mouth hooked up a smile, "I also have a desire to understand that kind of thing." ”

Long Yuan said: "You are really high-flying, there is no one in your eyes, you are arrogant, you have eyes but no beads......"

"I thought you were going to say something......" Jing Xiaoying disagreed.

"Why didn't you kill me?" Long Yuan returned to the topic just now, "Is it that at that moment, you are worried about Ling Qingyi, afraid that she or the Ling Shuang Church will be entangled by the Dragon Palace for the rest of their lives?" ”

"I don't know."

Later in the evening, Jin Jiao was finally arranged to stay in a room.

The room was luxurious, in keeping with who she was.

Jin Jiao also knew that Long Yuan was hospitable and generally did not neglect her.

Long Yuan sat alone on the throne in the inner hall.

In fact, he had already calculated that Wu Tianjun, the prince of Xiaohan Kingdom, would come to the Dragon Palace to find Jin Jiao.

At that time, Jin Jiao was his bargaining chip.

Therefore, Long Yuan waited for Wu Tianjun to come. His arrival was only a matter of time.
