She saw no use in it and felt only annoyance.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan looked at Chen Yu, still smiling, and asked, "Okay, I agree to anything you say."

Chen Yu was somewhat confused at this point. After all, they didn't know each other, and she had made such an unreasonable request. Why did Jiang Xuan agree to it?

At this moment, Chen Yu couldn't help but stare wide-eyed. She opened her mouth as if to speak, but Jiang Xuan suddenly grabbed her hand and led her upstairs in the restaurant.

"Two rooms." Jiang Xuan paused suddenly, glanced at Chen Yu, and made a "two" gesture to the innkeeper: "By the way, I want two superior rooms."

The innkeeper, all smiles, escorted the three into their room. Jiang Xuan then gave them a few instructions before leaving.

Jiang Xuan watched Chen Yu walk into the room, and then he pulled Shu Xiu into another one.

"Give her a bath in a bit. If she dares to resist, then you have to take action."

Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Shu Xiu was somewhat confused, but still nodded slightly.

Jiang Xuan noticed the hesitation on Shu Xiu's face, and without holding back, he said directly, "This Chen Yu is not simple; she is Huang Longshi's person."

Huang Longshi?

Upon hearing the name, Shu Xiu was initially startled, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.

It should be noted that Huang Longshi was one of the Thirteen Masters of the Spring and Autumn Period, and he alone occupied three of the top three spots, so he was also known as Huang the Third Master.

He, along with the butcher Xu Xiao and the cat-man Han Diaosi, were known as the three great demons of the Spring and Autumn Period.

This person is first-rate in chess, calligraphy, and arithmetic. He is recognized as the best in the world in the nineteenth way of chess, and his cursive script and yin-yang divination are also the best in the world. He can be said to be famous throughout the world.

He was once the most outstanding student in the Shangyin Academy, and also one of the unofficial disciples of Zhang Fuyao, the first Confucian sage, possessing extraordinary strength.

It was because of his lobbying efforts among the nine kingdoms that the Nine Kingdoms War was triggered, resulting in the deaths of countless people.

This person has a grand strategy for the world; he is a true master strategist.

Shu Xiu couldn't help but swallow hard. Looking at Jiang Xuan, she couldn't help but say, "So, our Great Chu has been targeted by Huang Sanjia?"

"This is it, it's all over... Back then, Huang Sanjia was able to instigate the Spring and Autumn War, which could have caused other dynasties to attack us."

"People like that are truly terrifying!"

Jiang Xuan glanced at Shu Xiu, then chuckled and reached out to rub her cheek.

"What are you afraid of? You've dealt with so many people over the years, why would you be afraid of a little girl?"

Shu Xiu naturally knew what Jiang Xuan was talking about, but for some reason, she felt a little scared when she heard the name Huang Sanjia.

However, at this moment, Shu Xiu was held in Jiang Xuan's hand, and felt the warmth emanating from him, which made her feel warm and cared for.

Shu Xiu nodded and left their room.

He was still very confident in Shu Xiu's abilities.

After all this time, although Shu Xiu seemed to have a low status and even put herself in the position of a maid, neither Xu Weixiong nor Xuan Yuanqingfeng said anything.

Besides Jiang Xuan being a master of impartiality, Shu Xiu's methods also played a part.

Moreover, she is very good at winning people's hearts, and it is neither possible nor desirable for her to make those women obediently listen to her.

Training is also a skill.

Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, then stopped worrying about anything and decided to take a nap.

Since the task has already been entrusted to Shu Xiu, let her do her best to complete it.

He's an amateur after all, so it's best not to get involved in this kind of thing.

Sometimes, good intentions can lead to bad results.

Just as Jiang Xuan drifted off to sleep, Shu Xiu next door had already begun.

However, to her surprise, Chen Yu was a completely different person after taking a shower and changing into new clothes.

Chapter 140 A Beauty That Could Make Fish Sink and Geese Fall, No Less Than Nangong

This……

Shu Xiu frowned slightly, a look of surprise on her face, and subconsciously reached out to pinch Chen Yu's cheek.

After all, she didn't think that an ordinary fisherwoman, even one from Huang Sanjia, could look like that.

Even if she were a woman on the Rouge Ranking, she wouldn't be anything special, would she?

When Shu Xiu reached out, she only touched a fair, delicate, smooth, and soft pretty face.

So she didn't see what she wanted to see, but she couldn't help but gently squeeze it with her palm on it.

Chen Yu's skin is so smooth and delicate that it's irresistible to touch.

Even though she was a woman, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat when she saw Chen Yu looking like that.

If this were a man, he would probably have been obsessed and deeply infatuated by now, right?

At this moment, Chen Yu frowned slightly. Only after she moved her face away did Shu Xiu realize what was happening, and a look of envy flashed across her face.

Indeed, Shu Xiu's eyes held only envy, devoid of any other emotions such as jealousy or hatred.

After all, when the gap between you and someone else is so great that it can no longer be bridged by any other means, then there is no more hatred.

At most, I feel envious.

Shu Xiu thought that if she had such a beautiful and perfect face, Jiang Xuan would probably have been infatuated with her long ago, and she would be the only woman by his side.

However, that's not necessarily true. The women around Jiang Xuan each have their own unique charm, which cannot be erased by mere appearance.

But it is definitely a plus, and a big one at that.

Although Shu Xiu was somewhat surprised by Chen Yu's appearance, she still knew why she had come.

Shu Xiu took a deep breath, suppressing her rare feelings for Chen Yu, and looked directly at him.

"So, given how good-looking you are, who sent you here?"

"What do you want to do?"

……

……

The sun was shining brightly.

When Jiang Xuan got out of bed, he couldn't help but stretch.

He shook his neck and opened the window, feeling the breeze on his face.

Not long after Jiang Xuan got up, Shu Xiu pushed open the door and walked in, carrying a washbasin in her hand.

"Shuxiu, you are not my maid, there's no need for this every day."

Upon hearing this, Shu Xiu simply smiled gently and remained silent.

Seeing this, Jiang Xuan didn't say anything more and just let Shu Xiu help him tidy up. Then the two of them sat down together and started eating breakfast.

Jiang Xuan, while eating, looked at Shu Xiu beside him and asked, "How is it?"

“Yes, she was very obedient and basically told us everything.” Shu Xiu paused for a moment and continued, “She was indeed sent by Huang Longshi, and there was another person besides her.”

"Wen Hua?"

Upon hearing Jiang Xuan mention this name, Shu Xiu was initially taken aback, but she wasn't particularly surprised. After all, Jiang Xuan knew even Chen Yu, so it was impossible for him to only know this one person.

Shu Xiu thought for a moment and continued, "After what we did last night, there's probably an 80% chance that Chen Yu won't betray us."

"That's quite a lot." Jiang Xuan nodded in approval upon hearing the number. "After all, Huang Longshi is no ordinary person, and these pieces have been played for a long time. How can there be a 100% chance of complete control?"

When Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks and took the wet towel that Shu Xiu handed him.

"You don't need to pressure Chen Yu any further. Just let her stay by our side and observe her slowly."

"Yes!"

Once everything was ready, Jiang Xuan and his group chose to leave.

However, when they left, they were joined by Chen Yu, a stunningly beautiful woman whose beauty could rival that of fish and geese.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan glanced at Chen Yu, who seemed rather honest, and chuckled softly.

However, Shu Xiu leaned closer. Feeling the gazes of those around her, she couldn't help but ask, "Should we get Chen Yu something to cover his face?"

"After all, her face is just too attractive, making it hard to look away."

When Jiang Xuan heard this, he turned to look at Chen Yu beside him and asked, "What do you think? Do you want to wear a mask or stay like this?"

Chen Yu has been traveling around for many years, but because her strength is only at the first-grade Vajra Realm, although she is not weak, she is not considered particularly strong in the martial arts world.

So for so long, she has always hidden her appearance and has never shown her true face.

Jiang Xuan knew perfectly well that Chen Yu was the runner-up in the next Rouge Ranking, the second most beautiful woman in the world.

His assessment was quite simple: "He's no less than Nangong."

It is from this that we can see just how beautiful Nangong Pushe, the most beautiful woman in the world, truly was.

Chen Yu had skin as white as snow, and indeed possessed a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and a face that could shame the moon and flowers.

Moreover, like Li Baishi, she was Huang Longshi's pawn, and she was originally trained by Huang Longshi to scheme against Xu Fengnian.

However, Huang Longshi, who was always right in his calculations, never expected to run into Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan disrupted all his plans from the very beginning.

After all, in his view, there was no such person as Jiang Xuan, and even if the Great Chu were to rise, it would need Xu Fengnian's help.

But what about the facts?

The Great Chu has gradually slipped out of everyone's control. Whether it's Li Yang, Bei Liang, or Bei Mang, they all have to treat it as a real opponent.

As for Hehe Girl, that made Huang Longshi even more upset. But what he didn't expect was that Jiang Xuan had eaten another one of his chess pieces.

It's not happening yet, but it'll be soon.

Jiang Xuan gave Shu Xiu only one task: to find Huang Longshi's location.

He'll have to face this guy sooner or later, and that'll be a good opportunity for them to clash.

Upon hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Chen Yu hesitated for only a moment before nodding and loudly proclaiming, "Since the King of Chu is so magnanimous, then I will not stand on ceremony."
