My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 372 I will grant you whatever you want, including myself.

If you don't take advantage of it, you are a bastard.

You must always prioritize your own interests, no matter what.

Sure enough, after Zeng Anmin finished speaking, the eldest princess raised an eyebrow slightly.

She looked into Zeng Anmin's eyes:

"what do you want?"

The sound is very bland.

"Your Highness."

Zeng Anmin looked pained and distressed: "I have never asked for anything in return from you, so why are you talking about material things right away?"

"Your Highness and I are of one heart, yet your relationship with me is driven by self-interest..."

……

The eldest princess looked at him quietly.

After he had finished speaking, he slowly asked, "Are you done?"

Uh.

Zeng Anmin chuckled dryly: "That's all."

"Help me obtain the Xi Huang Map, and I will grant you whatever you desire."

The eldest princess took a deep breath, her gaze fixed on Zeng Anmin:
"Including myself."

……

Zeng Anbian's heart skipped a beat.

He never expected the eldest princess to say something so astonishing!

Therefore, it is very rare.

Zeng Anmin's face inexplicably turned red.

He was even somewhat at a loss...

"Ah?! Your...Your Highness...what...what are you saying?"

Zeng Anmin wished he could slap himself.

Don't you usually manage your facial expressions very well?

How did things get like this?
The eldest princess quietly looked at Zeng Anmin:
"As long as you help me obtain the Xi Huang Diagram."

"I can give you anything you want."

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.

He decided.

Do the opposite!

The more someone like the eldest princess lives deep within the palace and only cares about personal gain, the more deeply she must appear to be devoted to others!

"Your Highness."

Zeng Anmin's expression turned somewhat cold, and a faint...disappointment shone in his eyes.

Disappointed?

When the princess read this information in his eyes, she was momentarily bewildered.

Is he...disappointed?

"It's true."

Zeng Anmin sighed: "When I first saw Your Highness, I was deeply attracted by your figure."

"I think this is just a young man's infatuation and a momentary impulse, so I didn't pay any attention to it."

"So, quite impulsively, I left behind a poem about peach blossoms."

Zeng Anmin gave a wry smile as he said this:
"No one could have imagined that I would later be able to go to the Southern battlefield with His Highness."

"And captured Qinghai Bay."

"Does Your Highness still remember the demon Bixuan?"

The princess pursed her lips slightly and said, "Mm."

"After Bixuan died, three thousand demon soldiers attacked. I don't know who gave me the courage to fight those three thousand demon soldiers alone with just an axe."

Zeng Anmin's words also drew the eldest princess into her memories.

That memory is one that the eldest princess has always been unwilling to recall.

Because that memory often appears in her dreams.

"You know, before that, I had never been in a fight with anyone."

"At that time, I had absolutely no combat experience."

Zeng Anmin's expression was extremely calm.

Hear this.

The princess's heart inexplicably clenched.

Being there, she knew how dangerous the situation was.

After the three thousand demon soldiers arrived, it was the Mongoose Demon King.

It was this man who was holding them off.

At this moment, she realized for the first time that Zeng Anmin, who had no combat experience whatsoever, dared to stand in front of her...

Right.

Although she didn't know how Zeng Anmin managed to cultivate both Confucianism and martial arts.

But she knew that before that, Zeng Anmin had always presented himself as a Confucian scholar.

How to hide your hand?

The best approach is to never use your trump card.

The eldest princess stared at Zeng Anmin expressionlessly and uttered two words:
"Fool."

Uh?
Upon hearing those two words, Zeng Anmin nearly lost his composure. But a slight thrill stirred within him!
Good news!
The eldest princess is just not good at expressing her emotions, not that she has no emotions at all!
Keep it up!
Zeng Anmin suddenly looked up, his gaze as intense as the blazing sun.

He stared intently at the eldest princess.

"Your Highness!"

There was excitement in his voice.

The eldest princess was caught off guard, and she subconsciously looked up.

She caught Zeng Anmin's burning gaze.

For some reason, she didn't dare to look and subconsciously lowered her head.

"You're right, I really am an idiot."

“I could have just abandoned you and run away.”

"I could have avoided revealing my secret to you."

"I know perfectly well that in the vortex of power within the palace, there is no room for emotions."

"But I did it anyway."

As Zeng Anmin spoke, his face began to turn bitter:

"I know perfectly well that the one thing you should never touch in this world is emotion."

The more Zeng Anmin talked, the more satisfied he became with his performance.

All of what he said was specious and misleading.

He didn't say anything about liking the eldest princess.

But to the princess, every word she uttered conveyed extremely deep emotion.

My gaze swept over it slightly.

Sure enough, he saw the princess's hand tightly gripping her sleeve.

From a psychological perspective, this proves that the princess is currently experiencing extremely intense emotional fluctuations.

"What I want is never a relationship based on mutual benefit."

Zeng Anmin smiled.

His smile was extremely genuine.

He was certain that anyone who saw his smile would praise him, saying, "What a pure and innocent young man!"

He learned that smile from a celebrity named Ding Zhen in his previous life.

Do you understand my feelings?

Zeng Anmin's gaze changed again, this time with the deep affection of Tony Leung.

This series of performances.

Let alone the eldest princess, even Emperor Jianhong would be moved if he came.

"And the eyes don't lie."

“Your Highness, every time I see you, I can see it in your eyes.”

"You're just like me, aren't you?"

Zeng Anmin stared straight at the eldest princess.

The eldest princess remained silent.

She pursed her lips, wanting to speak, but not knowing what to say.

silence.

The room was completely silent.

Zeng Anmin remained as steady as Mount Tai at this moment.

He is Aquaman.

Having spent so much time with the eldest princess, he could naturally sense that she must have some emotional attachment to him.

He also investigated the eldest princess and learned that she had never had a romantic relationship over the years.

In his presence, the eldest princess was as pure as a blank sheet of paper.

Therefore, the indifference she displayed was merely a facade.

He waited for a long time, and seeing that the princess still did not speak, he was already certain of his decision.

The less they say, the more it proves that their guess is correct!

Because a normal person, upon hearing these words, would feel nothing and would definitely shake their head in rebuttal.

The eldest princess did not refute this!

It's time to add fuel to the fire!

"Ugh."

Zeng Anmin's eyes dimmed, and he gave a bitter smile: "I understand."

"Your Highness, I will have someone send you all the clues about the Xi Huang Diagram."

Farewell.

He bowed to the princess.

Then he walked away gracefully.

One step, two steps.

Three steps.

Just as Zeng Anbian's figure was about to reach the door.

"and many more."

The eldest princess's voice rang out.

Steady!

A victorious smile appeared on Zeng Anmin's face.
