ed on imitating Chinese characters. Your language also shows strong traces of Chinese. You wear clothes with the left side open, while Han people wear clothes with the right side open. This is the evi...This, precisely what you desire.

Jian Xin nodded simply. “I believe you.”

Zhou Ping'an said with confidence, "As I expected, the prince would probably have my second brother keep an eye on me as I proceed. He himself wouldn't appear directly but would secretly monitor every move my second brother and I make."

Jian Xin frowned thoughtfully, and after a moment of deliberation, she nodded in agreement. "He's retreating behind the scenes," she said. "Only by being here can he observe your every move, seeing if there's anything suspicious between you two."

"Speaking of which," he suddenly thought of a possibility and asked, "Could this be exactly what you want"

If all this was within Zhou Ping'an's expectations, then this person is extremely dangerous.

A chill ran down his spine, even a cultivator of the Immortal Earth Realm wouldn't like having someone who could see through people's hearts and even manipulate them by their side.

Zhou Ping'an chuckled softly: "Investigating taxes in the territory of King Ning is a death-defying endeavor. Without a special method, it would be impossible to accomplish. And this special breakthrough is my second brother."

"Using him like this, aren't you afraid he'll turn against you" Jianxin asked.

Zhou Ping'an shook his head and said, "Our brothers each have our own ideals and aspirations, and since our ways of thinking are different, the methods we take will also be different."

"If I succeed and he gets used by me, then it only means my methods are better than his. He might get angry and even stop seeing me forever, but none of that matters."

Looking at Zhou Ping'an who was calm and composed, Jian Xin simply couldn't understand what these people were thinking.

He even felt a bit disgusted by Zhou Ping'an.

In Jianxin's view, this kind of person will stop at nothing to achieve their own goals. They will use any means necessary, regardless of whether it is effective or not.

And this is precisely what Jian Xin dislikes.

In his view, people can be utilitarian and purposeful. If they lack both, they are either trash or saints, but the difference between the two lies in having a bottom line.

He stood up and said lightly, "It's getting late. You should get some rest. I should be going now."

"Please go ahead, Master," Zhou Ping'an said softly.

Just as he was about to leave, Jian Xin suddenly stopped and asked, "You said there were two time points that were most dangerous, and one has already passed. What about the other"

Zhou Ping'an smiled faintly: "The time is not yet ripe, it remains to be seen."

Jian Xin let out a cold snort, clearly not believing Zhou Ping'an's words. But he didn't say anything else, just turned and walked away.

Watching Jian Xin leave, Zhou Ping wasn't worried about her being recognized despite the crowd outside.

Only after she had completely left did he lie down in bed, pull the covers over himself, and close his eyes contentedly.

In Zhou Ping'an's view, whether it was Jianxin or Ning Wang, even his own second brother, were all things he could manipulate in the palm of his hand. The only person in this world who made him feel uneasy was...

That person lives in the capital city.ace was grim and ugly, staring at Zhao Qinglan, unable to say a word for a long time."Even me, I can sacrifice myself if necessary, right"Zhao Qinglan's questioning made Zhao Xuanji furious."His disap...
