Chapter 299 His Secret
Of course, he couldn't explain this to anyone else, which led to the current chaotic situation.
Xiao Xingchen wanted to personally kill Shen Li, and the women all thought he was blinded by rage. After exchanging glances, they all attacked, intending to use force to suppress Xiao Xingchen.
With a calculated attack on an unsuspecting opponent, and knowing that none of these women were kind, Xiao Xingchen felt as if he had been struck in the back by something heavy, and he also received a heavy punch to the head, sending him flying like a cannonball.
When he finally came to his senses, a fist loomed larger and larger in his eyes, and with a scream, a black eye was born.
"Damn it, why are you hitting me? Are you crazy?"
"Are you crazy? We're trying to save you. Calm down. This isn't the time for you to act impulsively."
Mu Wushuang was thoroughly enjoying the fight, throwing punch after punch with an undisguised smile on his face.
Seeing Xiao Xingchen beg for mercy, and taking advantage of the chaos to kick him, he finally stopped, feeling quite satisfied.
As the dust settled, Xiao Xingchen was found curled up on the ground, shivering, covering her face.
"I told you, Shen Li's soul imprint symbiosis has no effect on me, why don't you believe me?"
"Don't get agitated, we'll figure something out. Giving up like this won't work."
Xi Zhu comforted him, which made Xiao Xingchen want to cry. He really didn't understand what Shen Li was before, but now he was absolutely certain that the so-called wedding dress could not take his life. This kind of thing can be solved directly, why bother with all the twists and turns?
Judging from the women's expressions, they didn't seem to intend for him to take action.
"How about this, let's arrange to meet Shen Li again. She wants to see Xiao Xingchen, so let's meet her and see what she says after she sees her."
Ruoxue's suggestion was quickly agreed upon.
"Then let's have Xiao Xingxue come along tomorrow morning and have them confront each other on the spot."
Ling Xue also thought it was feasible, and no one cared whether Xiao Xingchen was willing or not, so the matter was settled.
Soon, the Prince of Kao Shan's mansion spread the word that they would invite various forces to witness the authenticity of the Princess Kao Shan the next morning, and the Prince of Kao Shan would confront them in public.
This news reignited the gossip in Yong'an City. The day hadn't been fully entertaining, and with the Prince of Kao Shan waking up, this matter has become the focus of everyone's attention.
Everyone is speculating about who the final powerful princess will be.
Shen Li was somewhat surprised when she received the news. She had imagined the scene of meeting Xiao Xingchen, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
After all, the fact that Xiao Xingchen was seriously injured and on the verge of death had been confirmed. Her plan was to unite all parties and seize the Kao Shan Wang Mansion with lightning speed while Xiao Xingchen was still unable to react.
This is why she has been pressuring the emperor in recent days, but with Xiao Xingchen waking up, many things have changed.
She is currently living with the people from the water area. Shangguan Yun is sitting opposite her, sipping tea, while Yun Xiyao and Meng Qianfan are beside her.
"Miss Shen, are you sure you can confront her on the spot? What if Xiao Xingchen says, 'I don't know you'?" Meng Qianfan asked worriedly.
“Some things can’t be explained away by simply saying we don’t know each other. After all, his life is in my hands. If I want him to die, he can’t live; if I want him to live, he can’t die.”
Shen Li flashed a confident smile, clenched her fist in front of everyone, and everything was under her control.
This attitude displeased Yun Xiyao somewhat, but with Shangguan Yun present, she couldn't say much. She only felt a pang of regret for Xiao Xingchen.
She disliked this kind of scheming and manipulative behavior.
"Qianfan, you're overthinking it. Xiaoxingchen's life and death are entirely in Shen Li's hands. We're determined to get his secret this time. The only problem is how to explain it to Huangfu Xinfeng."
Shangguan Yun took a sip of tea and then returned.
“Xiao Xingxue represents the Xiao family. They originally had the opportunity to keep this secret to themselves, but they obviously didn’t seize the opportunity. I will not allow anyone to share my opportunity. When the time is right, I will shut them up forever.”
Shen Li's expression turned sinister. Xiao Xingxue still had some use to her; recalling how she had bargained with her, she couldn't help but want to kill her with a single blow.
"It's best to be patient. After all, we're still in the Great Qian Dynasty. If we anger the Martial Emperor, none of us will be able to escape easily."
Shangguan Yun advised,
“I don’t believe they dare to keep me here. Besides, I brought the Ancestral Summoning Talisman from Cloud Recesses. If they really dare, I will summon the Ancestor and destroy this city.”
The domineering words silenced everyone, even Shangguan Yun remained speechless. This arrogance stemmed from the confidence of Cloud Recesses; even the Water Realm wouldn't dare claim they could destroy Yong'an.
"Alright, don't worry. Since the Water Domain has chosen to cooperate with us, you will naturally benefit. Once I obtain Xiao Xingchen's secret, the Water Domain can get a share of the profits."
"What makes Xiao Xingchen so different? Why do you all value him so much?" Meng Qianfan asked, puzzled.
"You might not understand if I explained it to you, but the symbiotic soul imprint on Xiao Xingchen's body was originally a slave imprint planted by our Shen family. As long as he reaches the right level, we will take action to harvest it. However, recently, the slave imprint has shown abnormalities."
"After discovering this, the Ancestor followed the slave seal and delved into Xiao Xingchen's memories, only to discover something terrifying. However, there's a rule when delving into memories: everything can only be remembered within his own memories; once he returns to his own body, those memories will disappear."
"Although those memories disappeared after the Ancestor returned, he still sensed that this person possessed a tremendous secret. If we can uncover this secret, the bottleneck of Cloud Recesses might even be directly resolved. It is a secret that can change the course of the world."
"That's why I'm here to reap the rewards ahead of time. This secret will not only change the mortal realm, but also the Nine Heavens. This is a consensus reached by our ancestor and your domain lord."
"Now do you understand? The reason why your domain lord broke the rules to cooperate with us is because they value this secret too much. Therefore, they can only succeed this time and cannot fail. Even if it's a last-minute robbery, they must take the person away from me."
Shen Li said seriously that she was also curious about the secrets surrounding Xiao Xingchen, but the ancestor only said that they were very important, very important.
They even promised her that if she could successfully obtain Xiao Xingchen's secret, she would become the next heir of the Shen family. Such an incredible stroke of luck almost overwhelmed her.
In the Shen family, the competition among the younger generation has reached a fever pitch. Following the normal path, she would never have been chosen as heir. But now, a path to becoming the future head of the family has opened up for her with the appearance of Xiao Xingchen.
She never expected that a casually placed slave seal would be so important. She was very grateful that she had passed by the Xiao family that year and made a casual move that brought her indescribable rewards.
