Chen Chang Sheng understood what she meant — if the rumor was true and Xu You Rong actually didn’t want to marry Qiu Shang Jun or for that matter, anyone at all, then the best excuse was to refuse anyone other than him. This allowed her to perfectly shut everyone’s mouth.
That piece of paper would be her best reason and he would be the indestructible signboard behind her.
Yes, this explanation described the current situation the best, and also perfectly corresponded to the words that Xu You Rong specifically wanted Shuang Er to bring to Chen Chang Sheng – ‘please don’t misunderstand’. However, Chen Chang Sheng didn’t agree with Mo Yu’s words regardless of their meaning only because she said it in such a harsh way.
“It looks like the relationship between you and the Miss of Xu Mansion is not as good as I imagined.” Chen Chang Sheng offered.
“This has nothing to do with whether or not our relationship is close or not. Demons have already rested in the North for several hundred years, so the human world needs to maintain the union with Yao and also maintain its union internally. The connection between the South and the North is a very essential thing. Xu You Rong and Qiu Shan Jun’s engagement may not actually change this relationship, but it was at least a symbol. Also, it was the symbol that the entire continent used to judge her thinking and actions as very unwise.”
“But you can’t do anything to her, so you say these words intentionally to agitate me?”
“Don’t you think this is the truth?”
“Any truth needs to be confirmed as truth after it actually happens.”
Chen Chang Sheng thought about the words he spoke in the discarded garden. It could be not nullified because he didn’t want to waste another’s youth and life, but he encountered too many things in the capital. It taught him to not believe in things too easily and that some words needed to be heard in person to be considered true.
“To make me to cancel this engagement is actually not too difficult. Just tell Miss Xu to talk to me herself.”
He looked at Mo Yu and said, “Everyone says she has the tolerance of a phoenix, but at least on this thing, I don’t see it.”
Mo Yu suddenly said, “Actually, I am making this more complicated than it actually is.”
Chen Chang Sheng said, “This thing troubles me too.”
Mo Yu’s black hair gradually spread out and her thin eyebrow looked like sword. She stared at him and said, “If I could, I would rather kill you using one finger.”
Even at a young age, she was already an elite at Starfusing stage, and had the Divine Queen’s trust. In the Great Zhou dynasty, it could be said that she was only below one person and above everyone else. She was truly a great person but she was forced to manage this engagement. There were also some other reasons why she couldn’t do things freely which contributed to her gloominess.
Chen Chang Sheng sensed the danger. Just now, he remembered that the beautiful girl in front of him was not a commoner. He gazed at her eyes and asked, “You came to the Tradition Academy today and had people from the Tian Hai family do what you wanted them to do. Does the Queen know about this?”
Mo Yu laughed contemptuously but didn’t say a word. She could acquire the Queen’s trust, and in only a few years, could climb to the peak from being just a common official. Besides her own ability, the most important reason for this was because she was good at understanding the Queen’s intention.
There were many things that, for a variety of reasons, the Divine Queen could not outwardly show and sometimes when the Queen couldn’t reveal her true intention, Mo Yu would work on it silently behind the scenes to help the Queen accomplish them properly.
Such as this engagement representing the connection between the South and North.
Mo Yu had never failed in this aspect and she understood clearly what the Queen wanted.
“The Bishop in the Department of the Traditional Education, the other elders in the Li Palace and other people who had a lot of authority in the Tradition seemed to want to protect the Tradition Academy, but they actually were just using you. Don’t you see this?”
“I was arranged by you to study in the Tradition Academy.”
Looking into her eyes, Chen Chang Sheng said, “If the elders of the Tradition really wanted to use me, and eventually used me successfully, then before the Queen’s anger fell on my head, it should fall on you first. Is this why you are so urgent in forcing me to cancel the engagement? To compensate your own fault?”
Mo Yu’s feeling changed slightly. It was unsure if this was because he spoke out the thing she was worried about but then she laughed out contemptuously, “The Queen’s trust in me is known to the entire continent. Little kid, you actually think these few meaningless words will have an impact?”
Chen Chang Sheng replied, “Yes. It’s only by chance that you arranged me into the Tradition Academy. The Queen probably will not sus
