The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 179 So coaxable

Zheng Xun affectionately patted the little girl's head: "Study martial arts well, grow up quickly, and work for your aunt in the future."

Xiao Xingqiong only caught the word "good" and thought it was some kind of blessing, so she nodded repeatedly.

Little Xingqiong, receive, receive, receive all the blessings.

Zheng Shi looked at the little girl with sympathy.

The poor child has no idea of ​​the tragic life that awaits him.

Zheng Xun gently patted the little girl's tuft of hair with a smile: "Auntie is leaving now that I've finished my business. Little Xingqiong, I'll come to see you again next time."

Little Xingqiong hugged Zheng Xun's leg with a "pia ji" sound: "Auntie, don't leave."

"But Auntie has to go hunting. Can I bring you something delicious when Auntie comes back next time?"

Little Xingqiong shook her head repeatedly: "I don't want anything delicious."

"What's fun?"

"No, I want Auntie."

The little girl was beautiful and lovely, with a soft, sweet voice like a sweet cake, and her eyes, like jade grapes, were fixed on Zheng Xun.

Zheng Xun suspected that she was about to crawl into her heart and stay there forever.

But she was heartless. She picked up Xiao Xingqiong, handed her over to the young disciple who used to take care of her, and left without looking back.

Xiao Xingqiong was a mature child who rarely cried, but when she saw Zheng Xun leave without looking back, she pouted and her eyes instantly reddened.

Zheng Shi shook his head and followed Zheng Xun's footsteps.

From behind came the voice of a disciple coaxing Xiao Xingqiong: "Young Master, look, your aunt gave you a stack of silver notes. Do you know what this means?"

Xiao Xingqiong shook her head listlessly.

"What the princess means is that when you grow up and earn more money than this, she will come to see you."

Zheng Xun, who was peeking through the light screen: ...

Is this how you teach your children at Cangjian Manor?

But Xiao Xingqiong believed her nonsense. After thinking about it seriously for a moment, she nodded earnestly: "Xingxing understands."

Zheng Xun: Well, at least we've managed to appease them.

After meeting up with Xu Zhen on the other side, they bid farewell to Shen Canglan.

Shen Canglan knew they had something to do, so he didn't keep them, but gave each of them a weapon.

"Princess, this sword is the treasure of Hidden Sword Manor, named Phoenix Cry. Others may find it too heavy, but it's just right for you."

"Lord Xu's sword is the treasure of Hidden Sword Manor. It is a pair with Minghuang and is called Mingfeng."

Zheng Xun: ?

She had a strange premonition and asked in an odd tone, "How many treasures does Hidden Sword Manor have?"

Shen Canglan's eyes darted around guiltily: "Only a few hundred pieces..."

Zheng Xun: ...

Xu Zhen: ...

"These are all top-notch treasures. They are all unique and very powerful. It would be too difficult to choose one as the best."

Young Master Jing added gently, "The princess is of noble birth, so of course she should be equipped with the best weapons. There was no first place before, but there will be one from now on."

His meaning was that if Zheng Xun made Minghuang famous in the future, then Minghuang would become the true treasure of the manor.

These words sounded agreeable. No wonder he was able to enjoy Shen Canglan's favor without waning. When he wasn't blinded by jealousy, his tongue was truly sharp.

Out of respect, Shen Canglan escorted Zheng Xun to the foot of the mountain.

Among the group of people following Xu Zhen was Zhang Erdan, who had just been guarding the gate.

His strange expression made him stand out from the crowd.

Zheng Xun asked with concern, "Zhang Erdan? Aren't you happy following Lord Xu?"

Zhang Erdan looked at Zheng Xun in horror: "I didn't, I'm not, how could that be! Princess!!"

"Then why do you have such a strange expression?"

"I'm wondering if I'm related to royalty."

Zheng Xun: ?

"If you are my great-aunt, then wouldn't I also have some connection with the royal family? I've known since I was a child that I'm not a simple person, but I never expected that I'm actually this extraordinary."

Zhang Erdan looked at his brother beside him: "Don't worry, I'm not a snob. Even if I become successful, I'll still remember you."

The guy next to me smirked and said, "Well, thank you then."

Although Zhang Erdan is foolish, he is genuinely sincere.

What could he do? He could only offer him fatherly tolerance.

Zheng Xun patted his arm with pity: "Actually, I was lying to you. I'm not your great-aunt."

Zhang Erdan stared at Zheng Xun in shock, his face contorted as if struck by lightning.

Seeing that he was taking it so seriously, Zheng Xun felt a little embarrassed: "Well, although you are not a member of the royal family, if you work hard with Lord Xu, your future will be bright. The future you earn on your own is much more prestigious than being a member of the royal family who is a hundred and eight thousand miles away."

Zhang Erdan thought about it and realized that it made sense.

He thanked Zheng Xun and then approached Xu Zhen to inquire about his well-being.

No matter what Xu Zhen was planning to do, he would rush to do it.

Even when Xu Zhen needed to go to the toilet, he would rush to hand him paper.

Xu Zhen was getting a little annoyed: "Don't you think this is a bit too intimate?"

Zhang Erdan didn't think it was inappropriate; he just felt that Xu Zhen didn't like him very much.

He said, sounding aggrieved, "Does Lord Xu dislike me?"

"nor……"

"But those who like their subordinates will sleep side by side with them to show their intimacy. Young Master Xu probably still dislikes me."

Xu Zhen gave the culprit Zheng Xun a resentful look before answering Zhang Erdan: "Let me tell you a secret, I am actually a woman."

Zheng Xun: "Pfft!"

She almost choked to death on a mouthful of saliva.

Zhang Erdan: ?!

He stared at Xu Zhen in shock. She was indeed a bit pale and not very strong, but she was so tall, she couldn't possibly be a woman, could she?

But seeing Xu Zhen's serious expression, he gradually convinced himself.

Perhaps it was because Lord Xu looked like a man that he had not been discovered until now.

Xu Zhen was still trying to find a reason to prove his absurd statement, but seeing the change in Zhang Erdan's expression, a question mark slowly appeared in his mind.

No, he's talking nonsense, and he actually believes it!

Sure enough, Zhang Erdan's expression suddenly became much more serious: "Lord Xu is right, it is indeed inappropriate."

He clutched the hem of his clothes, his bronze face flushed red: "I was rude just now, please forgive me, Young Master Xu!"

Xu Zhen's expression was strange.

He had a feeling that he was going to end up shooting himself in the foot.

Zheng Xun held back her laughter, but Zheng Shi behind her suddenly muttered, "I deserve to die! I actually said that Lord Xu was ugly. She's a girl, and it's easy for her to feel inferior if she's not good-looking. And I talked about her behind her back like that. I deserve to die!"

Zheng Xun: Wait, Xu Zhen is ugly?

She slowly turned her head and looked at Zheng Shi.

"Zheng Shi, who do you think is the most beautiful here?"

Zheng Shi: Testing me?

She grinned obsequiously, "Of course, it's the princess!"

"Except for me..."

"that's me."

"Except for you!"

"Then let's go with Zheng Jiu."
