Fox Xiaojing rolled her eyes at her, and said helplessly, "I wish I could! But I rarely even get a chance to be alone with her. And your National Preceptor doesn't allow me to use my magic. Otherwise, I would have succeeded long ago. What time would I have to chat with you here?"
"How about I help you!" Xing Yuan said enthusiastically.
Her magic wasn't unusable. It was a small effort, and she was happy to help.
Fox Xiaojing was clearly tempted, but still pretended to be conflicted, "Is this okay?"
Xing Yuan stood up and gave Fox Xiaojing a cruel back view. "Since it's not okay, then forget it!"
Fox Xiaojing anxiously grabbed Xing Yuan's hand, a smile full of joy on her face, "Good sister! We grew up together, we have the best relationship. Now that my sister is in trouble, how can you stand by and do nothing?"
"The more we foxes can't sleep with someone, the more upset we get. If I succeed, even if she doesn't have feelings for me, I can let go of her and find someone else.
He is my first man after all, and being good-looking is the most basic requirement!"
Xing Yuan nodded in agreement. She was already sore all over. The National Preceptor had no idea how to cherish a woman. However, considering she was the only one she liked, she would reluctantly forgive her.
Besides, even though she was a fox, she always felt disgusted to find someone else from the bottom of her heart. But it was still quite enjoyable to just feast her eyes.
No more words needed!
Xing Yuan patted Fox Xiaojing's shoulder, looking very loyal. "Xiaojing, you ask him out! I'll help you."
"Good sister! Wait for me." Fox Xiaojing brought Yuwen into the room at the fastest speed of her life.
Yuwen frowned slightly, and said unhappily, "What is it?"
Although he never entertained guests, he was the boss of the Nanfeng Pavilion, and there were a lot of things waiting for him to handle!
He knew Fox Xiaojing's feelings for him, and Fox Xiaojing was actually quite good-looking, but he had no intention of being with her.
After all, he knew clearly what others thought of him. It was nothing more than because of his face. He had made a fortune from the admiration of others for his face, but he desperately hoped that someone could see his soul through this face.
He knew it was difficult, and he never expected it. In his eyes, Fox Xiaojing was no different from other women, except that she was also prettier.
Fox Xiaojing nervously pinched her palm and mustered up the courage to ask, "Do you like me?"
Yuwen's brows furrowed tightly, his thin lips pursed, and he said somewhat irritably, "Why do you ask this question?"
"I just want an answer." Fox Xiaojing looked at him firmly, her eyes burning and sincere.
Yuwen was silent for a moment. It seemed that he felt that Fox Xiaojing could not bring him much benefit, and there was no need to string her along. He told the truth, "I don't like you."
"Okay." Fox Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled, revealing two cute little fangs.
"Xiao Yuan! You can start now."
Xing Yuan was not hesitant. She flashed and stood in front of Yuwen, then stared directly into his eyes and cast her charm spell.
Even if she didn't have someone she liked, in her charm spell, he would see the person he longed for and idealized the most. This was the power of the fox tribe's charm spell.
The charm spell was successfully cast. Xing Yuan looked at Fox Xiaojing, who stood still as if in sorrow, and gently comforted her, "It's okay. You can't get his heart, but getting him is not bad either."
"Yes, I think so too." Fox Xiaojing rubbed her hands excitedly.
"You should go back first! There's no need to eavesdrop on this kind of thing. And if the National Preceptor finds out you're not back, you'll be in trouble." Fox Xiaojing's wish was fulfilled, and she started to dismiss her, poking Xing Yuan's scar in the process.
Xing Yuan snorted coldly, unhappy, "Do you still want to achieve something with him?"
"Of course I do." Fox Xiaojing smiled ingratiatingly. "Xiao Yuan, you go back first. If you don't leave, he won't be able to control himself."
"Okay! Then you be careful!" Xing Yuan nodded and quickly ran back to the National Preceptor's mansion.
Dao Yuyue did not go back so quickly.
The National Preceptor was different from ordinary official positions. In a sense, his status was no less than that of the emperor.
Each generation of National Preceptors came from a Taoist temple. They were either exceptionally talented or highly respected. For Dao Yuyue to become the National Preceptor as a young woman, her talent was undeniable.
The emperor also respected her. At this moment, they were sitting at opposite ends of a chessboard. The emperor placed a chess piece and said very politely,
"I invited the National Preceptor here because I received a letter from your master. The letter said that they intend to visit and asked you to see if there are any suitable candidates. What do you think, National Preceptor?"
Dao Yuyue smiled gently and said calmly, "It is naturally excellent."
A hint of surprise flashed in the emperor's eyes, and then he said, "But you are still young, National Preceptor. There's no need to look for the next National Preceptor so soon!"
Dao Yuyue placed a chess piece and said slowly, "It's better to be prepared. Please forgive my rudeness, Your Majesty. Don't those ministers also hope that you will establish a crown prince soon? Even though you are still in your prime."
"That's true." The emperor nodded in agreement.
He was extremely annoyed by those old guys. Establishing a crown prince was a major event, and he had to choose carefully. Why were they acting as if he was about to die?
He didn't know their intentions. Wasn't it just to take sides in advance?
For the stability of the court, he should establish a crown prince, but if the established crown prince couldn't take charge, his other sons would not be so well-behaved.
Since ancient times, the establishment of a crown prince has always been a difficult problem.
"Does the National Preceptor need me to prepare anything?" The emperor pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully.
He had always known that the National Preceptor appeared to ensure the safety of the capital and to eliminate demons. He had also seen demons. Without a certain level of cultivation, they could not be resolved. Therefore, whether the future National Preceptor met the qualifications to be the National Preceptor was also something he cared about.
Dao Yuyue saw through his thoughts and placed a chess piece in a corner. "Your Majesty need not worry. If there is a suitable candidate, I will wait until he has the ability of a National Preceptor before leaving."
The emperor smiled and nodded, not feeling embarrassed about his thoughts being exposed, because he was used to Dao Yuyue's directness. It was not unacceptable for someone with strong abilities to have some pride. He was not one of those incompetent emperors.
"The National Preceptor is righteous! I naturally believe you. However, there is one more thing. Recently, there have been some rumors outside, and some people even say that the National Preceptor has a fox spirit. I wonder if this is true?"
