Chapter 30

Being exposed by Su Xuan.

Lady Mingzhu's face changed slightly.

She actually found Ji Ji Wuye annoying too.

Staying in the mansion all day, greedy for pleasure, doing nothing, only knowing how to cause trouble for others.

At the beginning, out of so-called desire for control, he asked her to spy on Su Xuan's reality. As a result, Su Xuan's reality wasn't spied out, but her own reality was spied out by Su Xuan, and then she was poisoned by Su Xuan and had to be controlled by Su Xuan.

The most critical thing was that Lady Mingzhu couldn't tell Ji Ji Wuye about such things.

For the tasks assigned by Ji Ji Wuye, she could only respond to Ji Ji Wuye with words like "doing it, doing it."

Even, to prevent Ji Ji Wuye from seeing any flaws, she tried every means to steal a few elixirs Su Xuan refined for the King of Han and gave them to Ji Ji Wuye to show that she was really doing things in the palace.

As a result, she didn't expect that before she waited for her cousin to return and detoxify her.

Ji Ji Wuye caused new trouble.

Ji Ji Wuye took a fancy to the military pay sent to the border army and created a ghost soldier hijacking case.

As a result, the King of Han, in a panic, found Su Xuan. Su Xuan used the talk of ghosts to directly abolish Emerald Tiger. Although the one hundred thousand taels of gold went into Ji Ji Wuye's pocket, Emerald Tiger was abolished, and his assets were all confiscated by the state. The loss Ji Ji Wuye suffered far exceeded one hundred thousand taels of gold.

Afterwards, Ji Ji Wuye not only didn't reflect that this trouble was caused by himself.

Instead, he thought Su Xuan ruined his good deeds, so he developed killing intent toward Su Xuan.

He even sent someone to tell her to kill Su Xuan in the palace.

How to kill?

If she could kill Su Xuan, she would have done it long ago.

Why wait until now?

Ji Ji Wuye's order put Lady Mingzhu in a dilemma. She really didn't know how her cousin Bai Bai Yifei took a fancy to someone like Ji Ji Wuye and was willing to work for him.

Because her cousin chose to work for Ji Ji Wuye, she could only work for Ji Ji Wuye.

Because she didn't know how to complete Ji Ji Wuye's order, and Ji Ji Wuye was waiting for her to send back good news, in the end, the frustrated Lady Mingzhu decided to see Su Xuan first.

"Your words are groundless. I just heard that you helped His Majesty solve the ghost soldier hijacking case, so I wanted to see you. Why do you slander me as Ji Ji Wuye's person, and also want to kill you!"

Lady Mingzhu said to Su Xuan after her thoughts flickered, her words filled with resentment.

Although earlier, Su Xuan revealed many of her realities, such as her illusion, he had never mentioned Ji Ji Wuye in front of her. Lady Mingzhu guessed that this was probably because Su Xuan didn't know she was Ji Ji Wuye's person.

This was not strange.

The Four Fierce Generals of the Night Curtain, the Blood-Clad Marquis and Emerald Tiger, many people knew, and understood they were Ji Ji Wuye's people.

People have heard of the words of the guest in the straw raincoat, but he is extremely mysterious, and no one has ever seen him.

Another mysterious one was her.

She hid in the deep palace, influencing the King of Han with a method of spring breeze and rain, moistening things silently. Because she hadn't shown her presence in front of people, few people knew who the "Tide Enchantress" was, at most knowing that there was such a person among the Four Fierce Generals of the Night Curtain.

"Lady, don't pretend, your killing intent cannot be hidden!" Su Xuan showed a helpless expression. "Besides, I know your background better than you!"

"So don't be in a hurry to draw a line with Ji Ji Wuye!"

"Oh?" Lady Mingzhu was surprised. "You say you know my background very well, then I want to hear it."

She wanted to know if Su Xuan really knew her background or was deliberately using words to trick her.

Su Xuan didn't play mystery and said it directly: "You are the Tide Enchantress among the Four Fierce Generals of the Night Curtain. The head of the Four Fierce Generals, the Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Bai Yifei, is your cousin. Your witchcraft and martial arts were learned from your cousin. He taught you these things, on one hand, because you are his cousin, and on the other hand, to be used in the future, just in case..."

The more Su Xuan said, the uglier Lady Mingzhu's face became.

She didn't expect Su Xuan to really know her background, and know it so detailed.

Although Ji Ji Wuye knew Bai Bai Yifei was her cousin, he didn't know her witchcraft and martial arts were taught by Bai Bai Yifei, but Su Xuan knew.

This meant he knew much more than Ji Ji Wuye.

Looking at Lady Mingzhu's increasingly ugly face, Su Xuan said calmly: "Do you want me to continue?"

Lady Mingzhu said in a low, heavy voice, "I truly underestimated you!"

She was, of course, unwilling to let Su Xuan continue speaking. With just a few words, Su Xuan had already exposed her foundation; heaven only knew how many more secrets he would reveal if he kept going.

Su Xuan’s expression remained calm. After a moment of silence, he asked Lady Mingzhu, "Working for Ji Ji Wuye must be very tiring, right?"

"Ji Ji Wuye is a man of insatiable greed and possesses an extremely strong desire for control. Satisfying his demands is no easy task."

Lady Mingzhu felt this was very true.

Working for Ji Ji Wuye was indeed quite exhausting.

Especially this time, when Ji Ji Wuye had ordered her to kill Su Xuan without a second thought.

She was merely a weak woman; how could she bear such a heavy responsibility?

However, such words were clearly not suitable to be spoken in front of Su Xuan.

Lady Mingzhu’s voice was cold. "You used the pretense of ghosts and gods to ruin Emerald Tiger. Emerald Tiger is one of Ji Ji Wuye’s capable lieutenants; you have already deeply offended Ji Ji Wuye. Given his temperament, even if you hide in the palace, he will be determined to kill you."

"Since I know of your background, Lady, I naturally know Ji Ji Wuye’s temperament as well!" Su Xuan said calmly. "However, him wanting to kill me is not an easy task either."

"You must have come to me this time under Ji Ji Wuye’s orders to take action against me, but because you have already crossed paths with me before and know well that you are no match for me, you wanted to test me first."

"That way, even if you fail to succeed, you will have an explanation for Ji Ji Wuye—for instance, that you made a move but failed."

With her thoughts laid bare by Su Xuan once again, Lady Mingzhu’s mood plummeted to the extreme. She said coldly, "Since you have guessed my purpose, what do you intend to do?"

Su Xuan gave a mysterious smile, his tone shifting abruptly as he said to Lady Mingzhu, "How about you come work for me?"
