Chapter 493 - Get Brother Jin To Trust You More

“If she is the Lady Phoenix, then what about you?” Qi Hongan looked at Tu Xiupei doubtfully. Could she be saying these things just to force Jie’er to marry Feng Tianlan?

Tu Xiupei’s expression changed. Then she gave the excuse that she had thought out for herself, “When Senior Brother and I went down the mountain, the commoners kept calling me Lady Phoenix. They didn’t believe me even when I denied it. Besides, I have the fate of a phoenix, so I could afford to put up with this title.”

Qi Shujie let out a “humph”, but he couldn’t interrupt. His father had forbidden him to say anything. He could only let Pei’er say whatever she wanted.

“You are not wrong, but the two of them might not be willing to marry him.” Qi Hongan was completely persuaded by Tu Xiupei. His mind was filled with the thought of being the ruler of Guiyuan Continent after having his son marrying one of these two women.

“If the Supremacy were to speak up, they will have no choice but to agree,” Tu Xiupei said faintly. Her eyes were filled with schemes.

After hearing those words, Qi Hongan stopped hesitating. He ordered, “Jie’er, stop telling people anything regarding Pei’er. Put your focus on Gu Nansheng. If you can successfully please her, everything will go smoothly.”

Between Gu Nansheng and Feng Tianlan, he preferred Gu Nansheng to be his daughter-in-law. Although she was quite arrogant, she wasn’t as extreme as Feng Tianlan. Besides, to him, Feng Tianlan was as good as dead. She was going to die sooner or later.

After discussing this plan, Qi Shujie and Tu Xiupei left the study room.

“Pei’er, have you been using me since the beginning?” Qi Shujie sneered as he looked at Tu Xiupei.

“Senior Brother...” Tu Xiupei gritted her teeth and spoke in an apologetic tone, “My feelings towards you were true before, but now...I am sorry. For the sake of the Flying Frost Pavilion, for myself, and for avenging you, I have no other choice.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Indeed, you have no other choice.” Qi Shujie let out a cold “humph”. He turned around and left. If he believed what she said, he would be an idiot. It’s just that...

Even though he knew the truth, he still couldn’t blame her. It was his fault for liking her for ten years. How could any woman compare to her?

Tu Xiupei eyes turned gloomy as she watched him leave. It would be best if Senior Brother didn’t reveal the truth about her intimate relations, or she would have to kill him. No one could stop her from marrying Brother Jin.

Tu Xiupei returned to her room. She was petrified to see Shen Yunya. The happiness from plotting a scheme against Gu Nansheng and Feng Tianlan disappeared immediately.

“Elder Sister seems unhappy to see me?” Shen Yunya raised her head and looked at her with a gentle smile.

“It’s not like that! It’s getting late, why aren’t you asleep?” Tu Xiupei couldn’t stand that gentle smile. Although she was afraid, she braced herself and walked into the room. But she didn’t dare to take a seat.

Looking at her so terrified, Shen Yunya smiled even more. “If Elder Sister didn’t almost ruin everything, I wouldn’t have sacrificed my sleep here.”

Tu Xiupei felt a chill run down her spine. “Say what you want to.”

She didn’t like being alone in the same room as Shen Yunya. She felt like she would die without even knowing it.

“I was worried about Elder Sister, so I came to sleep with you.”

“Shen Yunya, what exactly do you want from me?” Tu Xiupei screamed out uncontrollably. Could she even sleep well if she was to sleep with her?

Shen Yunya raised her eyebrow and said in a deep voice, “Are you not willing to do so?”

“There is only the two of us here, you can stop pretending already. Just say what you want from me.” She hated Shen Yunya’s constant pretense. It was disgusting.

Shen Yunya continued smiling, but her eyes turned were cold. “I am here to help you consolidate Brother Jin’s trust for you.”
