Chapter 289 Uncle Wang, are you willing to take a gamble?
Su Luoyin's expression changed, and her gaze toward Zhai Rongyu became even more hateful.
She bit her lip, feeling both angry and ashamed.
"What do you know?"
"It is Luo Yin's blessing to be able to serve Fifth Master!"
So many women want her position, but can't have it.
She climbed for so long and put in so much effort to finally reach the position of the most beautiful courtesan and become the Fifth Master's confidante.
But how dare Zhai Rongyu mock her for using her looks to please men?
Who is she?
She's just a pawn used by Fifth Master! Does she really think she's that important to him?
All these years, Su Luoyin has been the only woman by Fifth Master's side!
Those seductive and shameless women are nothing but putting on an act and deceiving people. Fifth Master has no sincerity towards them whatsoever, and he probably feels the same way about Zhai Rongyu.
If she didn't have some value, Fifth Master wouldn't have even glanced at her!
Zhai Rong snorted twice, "You really know how to brainwash yourself."
However, it's understandable.
Everyone has their own choices.
Those who try to save others from the mire often incur resentment.
You think you're saving her, but she might hate and resent you.
[Because if it weren't for you, she could continue to deceive herself, without having to face the fact that she's already mired in this quagmire.]
Zhai Rongyu shrugged.
"Okay, you can have this blessing, I can't accept it."
She clearly didn't say anything, but Su Luoyin felt a surge of humiliation for no reason.
She looked at Jun Jingheng with tears in her eyes.
"Fifth Master, are you just going to let her insult Luo Yin like this?"
Jun Jingheng didn't look at her, but got up and walked straight to Zhai Rongyu. "You and she are naturally different."
"She is my subordinate."
"But if you are willing, I will give you special favor."
He paused for a moment, then added, "I grant you my one and only."
Upon hearing this, Su Luoyin's long eyelashes trembled violently.
She clenched her fists, her fingertips digging into her palms, staring at Jun Jingheng in disbelief, "Fifth Master..."
Fifth Master actually promised this woman his one and only.
Why should she!
Su Luoyin looked at Zhai Rongyu, a flash of resentment in her eyes.
Zhai Rongyu raised her head, met Jun Jingheng's gaze, and chuckled.
"only?"
"Sorry, I don't like rotten cucumbers."
"Do you know that a man's innocence is his best dowry?" She glanced at Jun Jingheng from head to toe, then shook her head with a regretful look. "You're no good."
Jun Jingheng's face darkened. "How can I not be innocent?"
Zhai Rong looked at him with an expression as if he were an idiot, "Who doesn't know that the Fifth Prince has countless confidantes in the capital?"
"If I jump down from here now, I might just hit someone."
"You think you're completely innocent?"
Before Jun Jingheng could answer, a guard hurriedly entered from outside the door.
"Fifth Master, the Regent has arrived!"
Jun Jingheng's eyes darkened, and his gaze on Zhai Rongyu became even more intense. "Uncle Wang arrived really quickly."
"I never imagined he valued you so much."
He had just kidnapped someone when Uncle Wang received the news. It seems that the first thing Uncle Wang did after leaving the Wen family ancestral graves was to go find Zhai Rongyu.
Jun Jingheng lifted Zhai Rongyu off the chair, grabbed the chains binding her, and led her outside.
He lowered his voice.
"You don't want to be with me? Then watch how Uncle Wang abandons you."
He knew Uncle Wang's personality all too well.
He always put the world first, never indulged in women, and never showed his joy or sorrow.
Even if Zhai Rongyu is his weakness, he will not show it to others or let them know.
Therefore, giving her up became almost inevitable.
Thinking of this, Jun Jingheng pulled Zhai Rongyu in front of him and whispered in her ear with a smile, "I will give you one more chance. If you choose me now, I will grant you my one and only."
“But if you wait until your uncle abandons you and then turn to me, I will not give you any benefits.”
"Think it over carefully."
Zhai Rong lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes casting a shadow on her fair face.
She was silent.
The powder from the Misty Butterfly suppressed her mental power.
If you want to use the Han Guang Sword to cut through the chains, you'll have to wait for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
It's only a matter of time before they escape.
She was also curious to know what Ah Xu would choose.
Seeing that she remained silent, Jun Jingheng felt a surge of malice.
Even at a time like this, she still harbors illusions about Uncle Wang.
He gave a cold laugh and walked out, pulling on the chain.
When Jun Ce saw Zhai Rongyu come out without any wounds, he finally felt relieved.
A hint of anger rose on his face.
"Jun Jingheng, release Rong'er!"
Jun Jingheng curled his lips into a smile. "Uncle Wang is a smart man; he naturally knows what I want."
Jun Ce lowered his brows to look at him, his sharp face full of fierceness.
"You want to use Rong'er to negotiate with me?"
"Who gave you the courage?"
He stretched out his left hand, and a bolt of lightning crackled in his palm.
Jun Jingheng swiftly slid a short knife from his sleeve and pressed it against Zhai Rongyu's neck. "Uncle Wang's spiritual power is extraordinary; I know I am no match for him."
"Uncle Wang, are you willing to take the bet?"
"Let's see if your lightning is faster, or this short sword in my hand is faster!"
A sinister glint flashed across his face as he pressed the blade down slightly, leaving a red mark on Zhai Rongyu's fair neck.
If you apply more force, you can sever the artery.
Jun Ce gritted his teeth, his entire body surging with murderous intent. He flipped his hand and put away the lightning. "What do you want?"
Jun Jingheng didn't waste any more words with him.
“He concealed my crime of treason from my father.”
"Let me guard Nansang and wield the Tiger Tally."
A chill ran through Jun Ce's dark eyes. "Do you really think I'm that stupid as to give you the opportunity to amass power and influence in Nan Sang?"
Jun Jingheng curled his lips into a smile.
"Uncle Wang is certainly not stupid, but what's wrong with making a foolish mistake for the sake of his beloved?"
"Or perhaps..." He slowly moved the blade, rubbing it against Zhai Rongyu's neck, a hint of interest in his eyes, "that in Uncle Wang's eyes, this Zhai Rongyu cannot be compared to the common people of the world?"
Zhai Rongyu raised her eyes to look at Jun Ce, her almond-shaped eyes flickering slightly.
[What will Ah Xu choose?]
Jun Ce was somewhat surprised.
It turns out that Rong'er deliberately allowed herself to be held hostage by him in order to hear an answer from him.
He was a little helpless.
"How is she different from the common people?" Jun Ce looked directly at Zhai Rongyu. "She is also one of the common people that I want to protect."
Zhai Rongyu's mind stirred slightly, and she suddenly felt that she was being a bit pretentious.
Why force Ah Xu to suffer like this?
She was also a Taoist practitioner.
The world he wants to protect is the same world he wants to protect.
Do we really have to distinguish which is more important?
[A sense of responsibility, attachments, and preconceived notions are all karmic obstacles and inner demons.]
When did I become so immature and hesitant?
Jun Jingheng gave a half-smile.
"Uncle Wang wants a lot."
"It's a pity that one can never have both the world and a beautiful woman."
He pressed down hard on the blade, and a bead of blood seeped from his pale neck.
"I don't have much patience, Uncle Wang, you'd better make a decision quickly!"
