Just as everyone was in a daze.

Jing Yue, dressed as a maid, revealed a knowing expression.

Having grown up with Jiang Chen, she was very familiar with his temperament and knew that this move was mostly to subdue Yang Muxi, so she was not surprised.

"You can't participate in the assassination, don't mention it again!"

A clear, water-like voice broke the strange atmosphere in the private room. Yang Muxi frowned slightly, dissuading Jiang Chen.

She didn't want to implicate innocent people, and even more didn't want to bring danger to those who had helped her.

But Jiang Chen was unwilling to accept this kindness.

As the ruler of Great Wei, he did not accept anyone's refusal!

"Sect Leader Yang, don't be in such a hurry to refuse. You don't even know my family name, how can you be sure that I shouldn't participate?"

"Perhaps for me, sending you into the palace is just a small matter, something I can do with ease?"

A trace of helplessness flashed in Yang Muxi's eyes.

She felt that this noble son in front of her was really spoiled and didn't realize the seriousness of assassinating the emperor.

She could only put on a stern face and pretend to be indifferent, saying, "Alright, then tell me your family background and how you plan to help me?"

"If you really have such overwhelming power, then I will agree to you participating!"

Although that's what she said, Yang Muxi had already made up her mind.

No matter what Jiang Chen said later, she would refuse sternly. Although some words might be hurtful, it was better than losing one's life.

Jiang Chen could see the kindness beneath Yang Muxi's cold exterior and liked her kindness very much.

So he didn't continue to play coy, revealing some of his identity, "Sect Leader Yang, my name is Jiang Yan, and I have close ties with the royal family!"

"Are you satisfied with this answer? Can you accept my help now?"

Yang Muxi's beautiful eyes widened, and she looked at Jiang Chen, who was smiling lightly, in disbelief, sighing endlessly in her heart.

Jiang was the imperial surname, not something ordinary people could use!

This person in front of her claimed to be Jiang Yan, could it be that he was a prince?!

Yes, only this could explain why the city defense officer was so afraid of him.

A trace of inquiry appeared on Yang Muxi's pretty face, "You, are you a prince of Great Wei?"

Jiang Chen didn't answer, shaking his head mysteriously, "Well... that needs to be kept secret for now."

"You don't need to worry about these small matters, just know that my status in the royal family is not low, and that's enough to help you!"

Hearing this, Yang Muxi took a deep look at Jiang Chen and didn't continue to ask.

Instead, she said, "Since you are a member of the royal family, you should be even more aware of the danger of assassination. Are you sure you really want to help me?"

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, his attitude very firm.

Seeing this, Yang Muxi no longer refused and nodded, "Alright, then I'll trust you this once! How do you plan to help me?"

Seeing her agree so readily, Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, "Sect Leader Yang, you don't even know my identity, yet you agreed so easily. Aren't you afraid I'm a liar?"

Yang Muxi knew this was a joke, but she still answered very seriously, "The most important thing in dealing with people is sincerity."

"Since I regard you as a friend I can associate with, I won't be suspicious of you. Moreover, I also believe in my judgment of people."

Speaking of this, her clear eyes were tinged with a bit of certainty, "You are not an evil person!"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have signaled your subordinates to save the pipa girl when she was about to crash into the pillar, and you wouldn't have helped me out when surrounded by soldiers."

"You are different from those纨绔子弟 (wankuzidi, good-for-nothing sons of rich families) who are all show and no substance."

"Therefore, I am willing to cooperate with you!"

Jiang Chen was stunned.

Yang Muxi's pure eyes made him feel a long-lost sense of unease.

Of course, it was just a little bit, negligible.

Coughing lightly, Jiang Chen decided to continue to deceive her.

He was determined to have this Yang Muxi, even if it took some means, he would bring this woman into the palace.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Chen pretended to be flattered and said excitedly, "I didn't expect Sect Leader Yang to think so highly of me! To regard me as a friend!"

As he spoke, he seemed unable to restrain himself.

Jiang Chen grabbed Yang Muxi's fair, jade-like hand on the table and said sincerely:

"Sect Leader Yang, I, Jiang Yan, swear that even if I have to give up everything, I will definitely send you safely into the palace!"

Feeling the fiery temperature coming from her skin, Yang Muxi was a little dazed.

Before meeting Jiang Chen, she was wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao and had never been close to a man before.

Now that her hands were being held forcefully, she was shocked and didn't know how to react for a moment.

"Sect Leader Yang, why aren't you saying anything? Do you think I'm lying?" Jiang Chen looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and found her very cute, and couldn't help but feel playful.

Yang Muxi lived in the deep mountains for a long time and rarely interacted with people, so she couldn't see through Jiang Chen's bad intentions at all.

Seeing his low expression when he asked the question, she took it seriously and quickly pulled back her hand to explain, "Young Master Jiang, I have absolutely no such intention!"

Jiang Chen pressed on, "Then what were you thinking just now when you were silent?"

Yang Muxi naturally didn't want to tell the truth.

As the dignified Daoist Master of the Taiping Dao, she couldn't afford to lose face by having her Dao heart disturbed by a handshake!

Lowering her beautiful eyes, avoiding Jiang Chen's probing gaze, Yang Muxi had a flash of inspiration and thought of an excellent reason.

"I, I was just thinking... there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. What do you want to get in return for helping me?"

"Are you planning to usurp the throne? Or do you have a grudge against that tyrant?"

Jiang Chen looked at her delicate and refined face and denied, "Neither, I just want you to do me a small favor."

Yang Muxi nodded, "In that case, then tell me."

"As long as it doesn't violate morality or harm the innocent, I will do my best to do it for you,"

Jiang Chen smiled and said gently, "Of course, I am not a villain and will not let the Sect Leader do those shameful things."

Yang Muxi was relieved and said solemnly, "Please speak!"

Jiang Chen pondered for a few seconds and said, "Does Sect Leader Yang know about the Myriad Flowers Pavilion?"

Hearing this, Yang Muxi was stunned for a moment.

The Myriad Flowers Pavilion, isn't that the largest brothel in the capital?

Why is he asking about this? Could it be that…

Recalling Jiang Chen's frivolous hand-holding earlier, Yang Muxi instantly had a bad thought, and her pretty face froze over!

Her voice was as cold as ice, "Shameless! How dare you insult me like this, you lecherous villain!"

As she spoke, she directly drew the soft sword from her waist.

The sword light was cold, startling Jing Yue, Xu Changqing and others to step forward immediately, protecting Jiang Chen and confronting Yang Muxi!

But this only added fuel to the fire, making Yang Muxi even more angry.

"Hmph, you lecherous villain, do you think you're safe with your subordinates protecting you?"

"Let me tell you, these people are no match for me at all!"

Jiang Chen was not afraid, but a little helpless.

Although he hadn't spent much time with Yang Muxi, he had a rough idea of ​​this woman's character, and he was sure she wouldn't really make a move.

However, were his words just now really that misleading?

"Cough, Sect Leader Yang, calm down, I didn't mean that!"

Saying that, Jiang Chen pushed aside the subordinates blocking him...
