“Don’t worry, we know,” Chen Yuehai said.
“I don’t know what the rules of the martial world are. What I mean by getting rid of them all is that everyone, the old, the young, the weak, and the strong must all be eliminated, and the entire Prince Yu’s mansion must be turned into a tomb.”
Chen Yueshan and Chen Yuehai were both stunned. Chen Yuehai frowned and said, “Even the concubines and the servants. Most of those concubines were kidnapped by Prince Yu.”
Shen Miao sneered. “If Young Master Chen wants to be merciful, then you will only drag your family into unnecessary disaster, and my family will be implicated too.”
A moment later, Chen Yueshan nodded. “We won’t leave anyone alive.”
“That’s good.” Shen Miao said, “Then I hope the two of you can successfully avenge your sisters and wipe out Prince Yu’s mansion.”
After chatting with Shen Miao for a while, the Chen brothers stood up and left. After they left, Ji Yushu finally said, “Miss Shen, given how young you are, you really know a lot of things. The Chen brothers are people who’ve seen the world, but they are actually willing to listen to the plan from a young girl. Miss Shen, this is the first time I’ve seen a smart and beautiful girl like you. I wonder if I’ll have the honor to accompany you to appreciate nature, make poems together by the lake, and…” The more he went on, the more ridiculous his flirts got.
“Shopkeeper Ji.” Shen Miao asked, “Is this all you got to say?”
“Ahem.” Ji Yushu cleared his throat. “In fact, I just want to tell Miss Shen that the rumor has already been created and spread to the palace. I think it won’t be long before Miss Shen gets the result you want.”
Shen Miao was slightly shocked. Although she knew that the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop was capable, she did not know that they were so efficient. She guessed that there must be someone in the palace who could help them. Otherwise, it would probably take a lot of time before the rumor could reach the palace.
“Thank you, Shopkeeper Ji.” Shen Miao lowered her eyes. “After I get what I want, I will keep the promise I made to you.”
Ji Yushu was silent for a moment before asking seriously, “Miss Shen, there’s something I don’t understand.”
“Please go ahead.”
“Miss Shen, you’re using the Shen family to trade with me. Aren’t you afraid that one day, I’ll make the Shen family do something dangerous and push the Shen family to the edge? This doesn’t look like a good trade to you.” After saying that, Ji Yushu stared at Shen Miao and paid attention to her expression.
Shen Miao didn’t blink and said indifferently, “Instead of worrying about the problems in the future, it’s better to worry about the problem at hand. If that day really comes, let it be then.”
Ji Yushu said in confusion, “Do you really mean it?”
“Of course not,” Xie Jingxing said lazily as he listened to the conversation in the secret room.
“Only a fool like Yushu will believe her,” Gao Yang said. “This girl is very good at lying. Yushu is not her match at all.”
“Don’t worry.” Xie Jingxing said slowly, “Once she’s on my ship, it’s not that simple for her to get off.”
When Shen Miao got up to leave, Ji Yushu suddenly said, “By the way, Miss Shen, I think we have found out where Miss Liu Ying is. If Miss Shen wants a definite answer, we might be able to give you one in the next few days.”
However, Shen Miao’s answer stunned Ji Yushu. She said, “There’s no hurry. Shopkeeper Ji, take your time. I’ll… just wait.”
