Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 574 232. Devouring food (Wu Xuanyue tried her best to buy time)
  Marquis Shangguan is well-informed and has read countless people. Naturally, he is well aware of Wu Xuanyue's hesitant and concealing expression.

Since the other party is unwilling to tell the information he wants, seeing that direct questioning cannot produce any results, it seems that he can only resort to indirect talk.

That's it. Marquis Shangguan gave Dongfang Ying another look, and Dongfang Ying stepped forward knowingly, bending over to pour Wu Xuanyue another glass of wine.

Wu Xuanyue began to feel embarrassed and embarrassed again——

Speaking of things, Wu Xuanyue wouldn't be surprised if an acquaintance served her like this, and she felt uncomfortable all over. However, Wu Xuanyue, who was so attentive and defensive with this half-familiar man whom she had just met, was so attentive and defensive.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief!

Wu Xuanyue smiled sarcastically and said with a guilty conscience: "That Dongfang Shangguan, I'm really sorry, can you not be nice to me? I don't know why... I feel uncomfortable as soon as you pour me wine. ……This this……"

As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Ying's face darkened and he looked slightly embarrassed. He suddenly didn't know where to put the hand holding the wine bottle.

Shangguan Marquis waved his hand and withdrew Dongfang Ying.

Marquis Shangguan twitched his lips and said, "Master Nalan, actually Marquis Shangguan has something that he has been brooding over, and he doesn't know how to say it."

Wu Xuanyue's heart tightened. While negotiating with Shangguan Marquis, she had already realized the danger of this man. Every word he said was calculated, and every word seemed unintentional, but it had an ulterior motive.

Wu Xuanyue took a deep breath and thought to herself——

Oh shit! If I ask you to shut up, will you shut up?

Although Wu Xuanyue was somewhat afraid of Shangguan Marquis, due to Tianmen's dignity, Wu Xuanyue had to fake a smile and respond——

"You're welcome, Sir Shangguan. If you have anything to say, please tell me~"

Marquis Shangguan chuckled and said: "Has Master Nalan ever heard of the Kunpeng divine beast? It is the beast of all beasts in the spiritual realm. It goes up to the sky as Peng and goes down to the water as Kun. It is called 'land' between the sea and the sky. It is a strange spiritual beast." "

Wu Xuanyue's heart trembled, and she felt even more uneasy - Shangguan Marquis had already said this, and things couldn't be clearer. The other party was inquiring about the whereabouts of the Kunpeng beast...

Wu Xuanyue was stunned for a moment, and became even more panicked, not knowing how to respond.

Immediately, Wu Xuanyue put on her usual posture, lowered her head to pick up vegetables, and ate hard, pretending to be a hungry man, wolfing down the food.

Seeing this situation, Shangguan Marquis felt like a mirror. The girl in front of him was so poor in acting. She was acting coyly just to avoid her own words.

Marquis Shangguan watched Wu Xuanyue's every move and was not in a hurry. He waited until the other party was "satisfied" with his food and had no more room to stuff his belly, then he continued to speak - "Nalan Zhenshi, have you eaten well? If you haven't eaten well, Shall I ask the chef to cook a few more delicious meals for you? You don’t have to be polite here, just tell me what you want to eat!”

Wu Xuanyue wiped her mouth with one hand and said with a wry smile: "Haha~~ Enough is enough, Lord Shangguan is so polite. This meal, both in terms of size and dishes, is the best I have ever eaten in this period of time. Good quality! I made Lord Shangguan laugh, and I am not afraid to tell you directly. During this period of time, I have been running away and have not eaten a few decent meals. This meal is not comparable to the meals I usually eat. On the same level!”

Marquis Shangguan frowned slightly and said with doubts: "Escape...how do you say this? Nalan Zhen's status is lower than that of Tianmen and above ten thousand people. How can he use the word escape?"

Wu Xuanyue often sighed: "Hey~ That's it for now. I'm not afraid of your ridicule, Lord Shangguan - it's not all the fault of this Kunpeng beast! There are rumors that I came out of the spiritual realm to hunt a treasure named Kunpeng! In fact, I am the only one who knows best what kind of monster I am hunting. It is not the Kunpeng beast, but the Yulong beast! Yulong can be said to be on par with the Kunpeng, and it is an important mythical beast in the spiritual realm, but Do you know what our skip-level exam is about this year?”

Marquis Shangguan asked in response: "What is the content of the exam?"

Wu Xuanyue pretended to be pretentious, frowned and sighed: "Hey~ I'm hunting for the Kunpeng divine beast! This is a must-answer question for our Tianmen Zhenshi - how should I put it? I tracked it in the spiritual realm for seven days and seven nights, but I couldn't find it at all. There was no trace of the Kunpeng beast. I even doubted whether the Kunpeng beast existed in this world. If such a miraculous creature existed, why couldn't I find any trace of it? However, when I was desperate, a chance encounter , this rain dragon suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and I thought that the time before returning to this world was getting tighter anyway, so instead of getting nothing, it would be better to take down the rain dragon in front of me and go back to do the work! In short, with this treasure in my hand, It’s better than leaving empty-handed, right?”

As soon as these words came out, Marquis Shangguan understood the mystery and couldn't help but frown slightly. He was unhappy in his heart, but he suppressed his temper and said: "Then what? You successfully hunted this rain dragon beast?"

Wu Xuanyue nodded repeatedly, she was used to acting, she frowned, and sighed: "What a pity! After I hunted this green dragon beast, I just heard the orphan said that Nalan Yuanxiu, the Supreme Lord of Tianmen, only recognizes the result when he recognizes the heir. , if you don’t have the ability to hunt this Kunpeng beast, no matter how powerful the beast you hunt, even if it is Yulong who can compete with the Kunpeng beast, Nalan Yuanxiu will not recognize me as a true disciple of Tianmen... So... Hey …”

Marquis Shangguan's face became increasingly ugly, but he suppressed his temper. After hearing this nonsense, he watched Wu Xuanyue's expression intently.

Wu Xuanyue's lies were so flawless that he wanted to protect the reputation of Tianmen and the safety of Kunpeng Beast.

Why doesn't Wu Xuanyue hate Nalan Yuanxiu's move of using her as a pawn, but when it comes to issues of national justice and personal affairs, if one of them can be deposed, the entire clan can be saved. If it were Nalan Yuanxiu who replaced herself, , I am afraid that I will make such a cruel decision.

There is no way, this is the machination and ruthlessness of a king. In the face of righteousness, one can only sacrifice the individual, and the overall situation can only wrong individuals.

Wu Xuanyue knew that Nalan Yuanxiu actually did not want to donate the Kunpeng divine beast as the rumors outside said, so why should she confront Nalan Yuanxiu on this matter? After all, she is also a member of Tianmen. When it comes to the issue of unity with the outside world, Wu Xuanyue can clearly distinguish the priority.

When Wu Xuanyue was devouring his food again, his mind was not resting, but trying to buy himself more time. How to skillfully deal with the dangerous man in front of him, without offending Tianmen, and allowing the other party to find no loopholes.

But now, Wu Xuanyue had sketched out a lie, which even she thought was perfect. She just started talking and pretended to be acting: "It's all my fault. I was obsessed with profit and was so happy about success that I lied about the military situation and lied to my superiors about my hunting. The one in hand is the Kunpeng divine beast, not the Yulong divine beast..."

After hearing this, Marquis Shangguan turned his head and said nothing, twisting the wine glass in his hand with his own consideration.

Marquis Shangguan was not without suspicion regarding the words of the woman in front of him, but he could not find any flaws——

Could it be that, as Master Nalan said, there is actually no Kunpeng divine beast in this world, and everything is the result of people's imagination and what others say?
