"Master, after you helped me detoxify, it didn't take long for my hair and eyes to return to their original appearance. However, I didn't feel any discomfort. My grandfather also checked me and didn't find any problems."
Jiang Chen nodded: "It might be because of your own martial soul."
"I don't know what instructions Master has for me?"
Jiang Chen pointed to the chair beside him, "Sit down and talk."
Dugu Yan sat down, sitting upright like a primary school student, ready to listen to Jiang Chen's instructions.
"How have you been lately?"
"Thank you for your concern, Master. I've been doing very well." Dugu Yan felt somewhat flattered.
Jiang Chen tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly: "The reason I called you out this time is that I have a task to assign to you."
"Master, please speak. Yan Yan will definitely accomplish it."
"Aren't you going to ask what I want you to do?" Jiang Chen asked.
Dugu Yan lowered her head and said in a small voice: "As long as Master doesn't harm my grandfather and my boyfriend, I'm willing to do anything."
Jiang Chen sighed inwardly. Although he could control Dugu Yan, he couldn't erase her original feelings, especially those that ran very deep.
It was the same with Jing Wuming and Zhao Youyue; they also had families. If Jiang Chen asked them to personally kill their own family members, they would probably hesitate.
Jiang Chen said gently, "How could I ask you to harm your own family?"
Then, he told Dugu Yan about what he had seen Xue Beng doing yesterday.
By the time he finished speaking, Dugu Yan's fists were clenched tightly.
A strong hatred actually flashed across her face, and her killing intent erupted uncontrollably.
Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised by Dugu Yan's strong reaction and quickly patted her shoulder to signal her to calm down.
"What's going on?" he asked in confusion.
Dugu Yan took a deep breath before slowly saying, "Master, the girl you just mentioned, I know her. She was my good childhood friend who grew up with me. She lived right next door to my house, but she didn't have any cultivation talent."
"Yesterday she came to find me, crying her eyes out, and there were bloodstains all over her skirt. I had a bad feeling at the time, but no matter how I asked, she wouldn't say what had happened."
"In the evening, she hanged herself."
Tears had already appeared in Dugu Yan's eyes, and her face was filled with intense hatred.
"I never thought it was actually that beast Xue Beng who did it. As far as I know, several young ladies from big families in the inner city have also had accidents recently. Now it seems they were definitely done by Xue Beng."
Jiang Chen was very surprised. Things had developed unexpectedly; he hadn't expected that the girl Xue Beng had violated yesterday was actually Dugu Yan's close friend.
"Not only that, but that beast has been coveting me for a long time. If it weren't for my grandfather's prestige and the deadly poison on my body, he would have made a move on me long ago."
Dugu Yan's emotions fluctuated more and more violently, almost losing control.
She suddenly walked in front of Jiang Chen and knelt heavily.
"Master, I want him dead! Please help me."
Xue Beng was a prince of the empire; she didn't dare to kill him herself. Given her grandfather's relationship with Prince Xue Xing, he definitely wouldn't act for the sake of a few ordinary girls.
So, the only person she could think of was Jiang Chen.
She believed that since her master was from the Spirit Hall, he would definitely have a way.
A smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face, and he quickly helped Dugu Yan up.
The reason he had called Dugu Yan over this time was precisely to implement the plan he had discussed with Qian Renxue last night. He hadn't expected that before he even said it, the goal had already been achieved.
"Don't worry. I will never let go of such a beast who is worse than a pig or dog." Jiang Chen denounced loudly.
"But you also know about your grandfather's relationship with Prince Xue Xing. He still owes Prince Xue Xing a favor. If we act against Xue Beng, your grandfather might interfere."
"Then what should we do?" Dugu Yan became anxious.
Thinking of her best friend's miserable, ruined appearance yesterday, and the terrifying sight of her hanging herself, killing intent surged in her heart.
Jiang Chen had her sit down again and comforted her: "Don't worry, I already have a plan to deal with him. But first, we need your grandfather to repay Prince Xue Xing's favor, so he won't have any reason to help Xue Xing."
"This plan requires your help, but you may have to suffer some grievances."
"Master, just say it. As long as I can kill that dog, I'm willing to do anything." At this moment, Dugu Yan's heart was filled only with hatred.
Jiang Chen explained the plan in his mind to Dugu Yan in detail.
"So, at that time, you will need to deceive your grandfather a little. Are you willing?"
Dugu Yan hesitated for a moment, but then nodded fiercely.
"That old dog Xue Xing is not a good person either. He has used one favor to constrain my grandfather for so many years. In fact, my grandfather, a Title Douluo, has already stayed by his side for so many years, which should count as repaying the favor."
"Master, in two days it will be that old dog Xue Xing's birthday. If we carry out your plan at that time…"
"No!" Jiang Chen directly waved his hand to interrupt Dugu Yan.
Yesterday, he had indeed had this idea, but if they really did it that way, it would have too great an impact on Dugu Yan's reputation.
After all, Dugu Yan was his loyal subordinate and would still be of great use in the future.
"Your reputation is much more important than that beast's life." Jiang Chen spoke decisively, which immediately moved Dugu Yan deeply.
"Think again if there's any better opportunity."
Dugu Yan thought for a moment, and her green eyes suddenly lit up with surprise: "I've got it."
"Old dog Xue Xing basically invites my grandfather to his mansion every week to play chess, wanting to get closer to my grandfather. He doesn't know that his grandfather has recently become very annoyed with playing chess with him. Grandfather wishes he had more time to cultivate."
"And every time they play chess, Xue Xing brings Xue Beng along."
"Hmm, not bad. When will your grandfather go to the Prince's mansion again?"
"Tomorrow." Dugu Yan's fists unconsciously clenched tightly, as if she could already see Xue Beng's miserable end.
"Good. You go back first. The plan is set for tomorrow. I will contact you again this afternoon or evening."
Dugu Yan stood up and gave Jiang Chen a graceful salute.
"Thank you, Master."
…
After parting with Dugu Yan, Jiang Chen bought some groceries and went home.
When he returned to the small courtyard, his clothes were hung all over half of the yard.
"This little sister is really not bad." Jiang Chen was very satisfied.
While cooking, Xiao Ying ran in and said she wanted to learn his cooking skills.
Jiang Chen did not refuse. Once he taught Xiao Ying, he wouldn't have to worry about meals in the future.
After eating, Jiang Chen asked: "Xiao Ying, will Xue'er be in her bedroom this afternoon?"
"Young Miss usually rests for an hour or two in the afternoon."
"What does she usually do?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.
Xiao Ying said: "In the morning, Young Miss usually goes to pay respects to her 'Imperial Mother,' spends some time with Snow Qinghe's younger sister, Princess Xue Ke, meets the emperor, and sometimes visits the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School. When she has nothing to do, she usually reads in the study."
Jiang Chen nodded. It seemed that being the Crown Prince wasn't easy for Qian Renxue either; there were so many trivial matters, and she actually had very little time for cultivation.
"The plan has progressed. I'm going to find her now." Jiang Chen said.
"I'll go too."
"It's none of your business, so don't go. I'll just report and come back."
…
Qian Renxue happened to be taking a nap at this time. Jiang Chen reported the progress.
Although he was somewhat confident in his own cleverness, he still needed to discuss it with Qian Renxue. Any loopholes could be discovered and avoided through discussion.
"Hmm, the plan is fine. Everything depends on your loyal maidservant." Qian Renxue stood up and stretched.
At this moment, she had transformed into Xue Qinghe, and the aura that originally belonged to Qian Renxue had completely disappeared.
Her features were handsome, only slightly inferior to Jiang Chen's, and her face always carried a refined and gentle smile, making people feel as if bathed in a spring breeze.
"I didn't expect your martial soul to have such a terrifying ability. You must not have any ideas about me in the future, um… Xiao Ying is not allowed either."
How could I bear to bite you? Jiang Chen said, "Mm, I won't act recklessly."
Looking at Qian Renxue in her handsome young man form, Jiang Chen lost interest in deepening their relationship. He took his leave and returned to the small courtyard.
Next was to prepare the things needed for the plan, and then wait for tomorrow.
