Chapter 574: What you gain must lose

It wasn't until Wu Changkong had already walked away that the Peach Blossom Fairy and Shen Yao slowly stood up together.

The Peach Blossom Fairy suddenly felt a deep sense of exhaustion, as if it was more bothersome than a battle, it was a heartfelt, a sense of powerlessness from the depths of the soul, and when facing Wu Changkong, she didn't have the slightest courage to face him.

The Peach Blossom Fairy sat on the stool weakly, as if she didn't even have the strength to speak, so she leaned against the wall, propped her hands on the table, closed her eyes slightly, and rested while thinking about the conversation just now, thinking about if there was anything wrong.

It was a quarter of an hour before she came to her senses, and when she opened her eyes, it was as if she had been in a dream, and it felt that what had happened this morning was too unreal to be real.

She saw Shen Yao, who had a calm expression, standing respectfully on the side, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice:

"Aunt Shen, is what you experienced just now real?"

Shen Yao looked at the Peach Blossom Fairy suspiciously, and only nodded after a while and replied:

"Yes, it's true."

The Peach Blossom Fairy is still a little difficult to accept, why suddenly, she has become the second prince Wu Changkong's person, she thought about creating her own gang, but she never thought of taking refuge in anyone, let alone thinking that person was a prince.

Shen Yao saw that she still looked like she was not giving up, so she immediately got her a cup of tea, and then continued to stand quietly by her side, waiting for her to slowly accept this reality.

The Peach Blossom Fairy picked up the teacup with a fluttering look in her eyes, slowly drank the tea in the teacup one by one, and then continued to sort out the whole process of meeting the second prince in the morning, and after drinking a cup of tea, she really regained her clarity.

She looked at Shen Yao and said:

"Aunt Shen, do you think we are a success or a failure?"

Shen Yao replied softly:

"Then it depends on what the fairy thinks, if you put aside the grievances with Mu Qianmei, it will naturally be a success, because the fairy got the resources he wanted, although this resource is risky, but the fairy has no choice, so he can only accept it first."

"Of course, if the fairy still can't let go of the grievances with Mu Qianmei, the current situation will be more embarrassing, on the one hand, he has to be loyal to the second prince, and on the other hand, he has to go against his will and continue to fight against Mu Qianmei, in that case, the fairy's road will become full of hardships."

"So, how to look at this matter is just a matter of the fairy's thoughts."

The Peach Blossom Fairy asked curiously:

"Why is it risky to accept the resources of the Second Highness?"

Shen Yao analyzed and explained:

"Normally, if the first emperor dies, it will naturally be the crown prince who will succeed to the throne, but now the second prince is establishing and developing his own power, of course he will not be to maintain the prince's accession to the throne, he wants to replace him, but the prince, as the orthodox successor, is not a general, his power is not trivial, and it is not easy for the second prince to replace him."

"Now that the fairy has become the second prince's person, it is equivalent to getting on his boat, he succeeds, the fairy will rise to the top, as long as he is loyal to him, there will naturally be benefits, but if he fails, the fairy will sink with him, and even be doomed."

"This is the risk that the fairy is facing now, there will be no pie in the sky, and how much benefit you get, how much risk you have to take."

The Peach Blossom Fairy said with a bitter face:

"Can we say no?"

Shen Yao shook his head weakly and replied:

"The fairy has no right to choose, but is helplessly chosen, the key is not to refuse, because refusal is death, he will not let you know his secret but live safely."

The Peach Blossom Fairy whispered:

"Then can we quietly choose to join the crown prince now? No matter how you look at it, the prince's winning chance is much greater! ”

Aunt Shen thought about it, but replied helplessly:

"Impossible, the fairy's every move now is already under the surveillance of the second prince, and if there is a slight change, he will definitely be robbed and killed before he sees the prince."

"Besides, the fairy doesn't know if the prince will accept our refuge? When the fairy's body has been labeled as the second prince, the prince will not easily believe and accept it. ”

The Peach Blossom Fairy said with a painful expression:

"Why do we just get out of one cage and then immediately enter another?"

Shen Yao replied calmly:

"This is also the fairy's own choice, if you don't want to come to the palace to look for resources, you will naturally not be targeted by the second prince, because you have to ask for something, so you have to pay something!"

The Peach Blossom Fairy couldn't help but sigh:

"Sometimes, I really have to admit that Mu Qianmei lives freely, she doesn't seek other people's resources, and she doesn't join any gang, I'm sure that what is listening to Xuelou is simply a gang that she said casually, and now, except for a name, there is nothing."

Shen Yao pondered for a moment before replying:

"Maybe it was just her casual remark at the beginning, but now it has become a fact, it can't be said that there is nothing in Tingxue Lou, the six people of their Huaxia tribe are the current members of Tingxue Lou, and as her reputation becomes more and more famous, there will definitely be more people to join, aren't gangs formed like this?"

The Peach Blossom Fairy thought for a moment, and then said it right:

"Aunt Shen, you said we were going to build a gang, what kind of name should we choose?"

Shen Yao shook his head and replied:

"As for the name of the gang, the fairy can pick it any way, I'm not good at this. However, I think it's better to wait for the Second Highness's people to come, and then we'll make a decision! ”

After thinking for a while, the Peach Blossom Fairy said with a little excitement:

"Since she is named Tingxue Lou, then I will choose a name that is compatible with her gang, what is Xue most afraid of? Of course it's the sun, as soon as the sun shines, the snow melts, the snow melts, what kind of snow does she listen to! Or...... It's called Liesun Sect, what do you think, Aunt Shen? ”

Aunt Shen said with some hesitation:

"Fairy you...... A woman, with such a masculine gang name, doesn't seem to be harmonious! ”

She avoided the question of whether she could fight with Mu Qianmei's gang, but persuaded from another angle, she really didn't want the Peach Blossom Fairy to continue to oppose Mu Qianmei, because the current Peach Blossom Fairy was no longer the former Peach Blossom Fairy, but a chess piece that the second prince put into the rivers and lakes.

To be a chess piece, you should have the consciousness of being a chess piece, and the master has repeatedly asked that he can't be right with Mu Qianmei, as a chess piece, how can he call the shots without permission!

The Peach Blossom Fairy stubbornly said:

"Regardless of the discord, for me, it's good to be able to breathe, this name is also quite majestic, Scorching Sun Sect, hehe, maybe His Royal Highness will like this name too!"

Aunt Shen was so excited to see her, and she didn't want to ruin her interest, so she had to sigh secretly in her heart and stay by her side quietly.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

In the past five days, Mu Qianmei has taken Liu Tingfeng and his party, accompanied by Fang Wenxuan and Yue Qingyuan, a disciple of the Sword Sect, to visit the entire Magnolia City.

During this period, at the invitation of Fang Wenxuan, they went to the Xiyuguo Branch Hall in Shakong Mountain for half a day.

On the evening of the fifth day, the group walked into the most luxurious restaurant in Magnolia City, Zuixiao Tower.

They asked for a private room by the window on the third floor, and as soon as they walked into the room, Mu Qianmei said in a firm tone:

"It's been your treats for the past few days, and for today's meal, I have to make everything I do, otherwise, this friend won't be able to do it."

Yue Qingyuan and Fang Wenxuan opened their mouths almost at the same time, but they didn't speak, because they both heard the undoubted meaning in Mu Qianmei's words.

In the end, Yue Qingyuan replied with a little embarrassment:

"Since Miss Mu has said everything about this, then we might as well be respectful."

Ten people sat down as guests, Mu Qianmei sat down as a host, and when the wine and food were already on the table, Mu Qianmei picked up the wine glass and said to Yue Qingyuan and Fang Wenxuan:

"Qianmei has just arrived, thanks to your help, I got familiar with the city so quickly, I won't say much about gratitude, I salute you and talk about it!"

Several people raised their glasses together, and after drinking the wine in the glass, Fang Wenxuan replied in a sincere tone:

"It is my honor to be a guide for Miss Mu, I have learned a lot from following Miss Mu in the past few days, and if I want to say thank you, it should be Wenxuan to say thank you to Miss Mu. By the way, what is Miss Mu's next plan? ”

After Mu Qianmei ate a chopstick dish, she replied casually:

"I don't have any long-term plans for the time being, I'm more familiar with Magnolia City now, I like this city very much, I didn't expect that in this place with beautiful mountains and rivers, there is such a prosperous city, since we want to participate in the competition of the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard, then we shouldn't leave Magnolia City in the short term."

Yue Qingyuan immediately spoke:

"We were ordered to take our little junior sister out to travel the rivers and lakes, and we are not in a hurry to go back, since Miss Mu will not leave in the short term, let's live with us in the Sword Sect rudder, and everyone can take care of each other!"

Mu Qianmei shook her head and declined:

"You can stay in the Sword Sect for a long time, because that is your home, and we are just guests, how can we live in the Sword Sect for a long time and cause trouble to you?"

"We stayed in Magnolia City, not for one day or two, not for three days and five days, and now there are still two months before the competition of the Sky Valley Youlan Billboard, so it is better for us to have a stable residence."

"In the past few days, we will stay in the guest house temporarily, and when we have time, we will slowly inquire to see where there are suitable buildings for rent or sale, and then rent or buy."

Fang Wenxuan immediately said enthusiastically:

"If you want to talk about Magnolia City, naturally I am more familiar with it, what kind of building does Miss Mu want to find? I can help you with inquiries. ”

Mu Qianmei thought for a while and replied slowly:

"What we were looking for was a quiet, elegant place, where the buildings were old and preferably on the outskirts of the city."

Fang Wenxuan put down his chopsticks and thought for a while before he said softly:

"To say, there really is such a residence, the environment is very beautiful, and it is also very quiet, I just don't know if you dare to live there."
