"I..."
```
Under the gaze of the two girls, Xu Yuan was sweating profusely as he pondered for quite a while before finally coming up with an answer that could barely pass as one.
"I understand."
Under Lin Qingque's eyes filled with disappointment, he looked at Jing Lixue and said softly, "Since the princess commands it, I shall accompany her. However..."
"However, what?"
Jing Lixue's thick and dark eyebrows lifted slightly, as if guessing something, and a smile that was not quite a smile appeared on her flawless face. She watched him quietly and asked.
"My junior sister has long been curious about the Princess's mansion."
Xu Yuan turned to Lin Qingque, who looked completely perplexed: "And she knows everything about my affairs, so, taking my junior sister along should not be a problem for the princess, right?" Your next journey awaits at empire
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell into silence.
Lan Mei and Huang Ying exchanged glances, and then both shook their heads somewhat helplessly.
Could it be that Xu Yuan thought that by doing this, he could please both parties?
Didn't he realize that this approach would more likely cause dissatisfaction from both?
After all, in a sense, he had not fully satisfied anyone's requests.
That is to say, this was equivalent to offsetting merits with faults, resulting in neither gain nor loss.
But let's not forget, having these two stay with him would trigger an Asura Field, so in the end, Xu Yuan had indeed made an unwise choice.
Besides, he was not without countermeasures.
...
"The Amber Lake in the distance is made of the purest Wangchuan Autumn Water. In the summer, it is as clear as Liuli, and in the winter, it is as bright as ice crystals. Among its fish, some come from the top of the Beiming Tianshan Snow Pool, while others hail from the volcanoes near the bottom of the South Sea."
Looking at the elegantly dressed girl in front of him, who described the mansion's scenery with a soft voice like a fairy from a painting, Lin Qingque slightly furrowed her brows and trailed by Xu Yuan's side, maintaining a step behind.
Xu Yuan noticed this as well and intentionally varied his pace, ensuring that neither of the two felt neglected.
However, this juggling act of his quickly drew Lin Qingque's dissatisfaction. As he once again slowed down, Lin Qingque suddenly moved closer, took his arm as if not wanting to let him escape.
Xu Yuan showed a helpless expression but did not struggle. Instead, he let her clutch his arm.
It was just as he had expected.
If an ordinary woman faced his partiality, she would either turn on her heel and leave or conflate her confrontation with the rival with neglect for him, in order to express her anger.
But Lin Qingque was different; she was tsundere.
Even though what Xu Yuan did made her uncomfortable, she still chose to forgive him.
It wasn't really forgiveness, more like an instinctive protective measure before a crisis struck.
It's like two tigers eyeing the same rabbit; worried one might run towards the other, they naturally choose to retract their fangs and show goodwill.
She is not prideful; at such a time, if she were to lose her temper, she very well could push Xu Yuan towards Jing Lixue.
And Xu Yuan, having seen through this aspect of Lin Qingque, continued the juggling act.
Preventing the two from fighting was impossible.
If that's the case, one must seduce one to strike first, to provoke and draw fire unto himself, allowing the two to focus on each other, saving himself from difficulty.
