Chapter 543: Chapter 542: This isn’t helping him, it’s kidnapping

In his teacup, a little poison...

Feng Wuya had never imagined that the human mind could be so immensely complex.

Tie Xin spoke of a heart made of flesh, and indeed, it was so. Therefore, during this time, he had indeed considered that he truly owed Long Xinghe a great debt of gratitude.

And this debt, if ever there was an opportunity, would surely be repaid by him.

But not in this way!

Offering his body was just a joke he had played on Tie Xin.

He had never thought that his gratitude to Long Xinghe would require such a filthy method of repayment!

Feng Wuya’s five fingers were tensed tightly, his face more unsightly than it had ever been.

Finally, he turned around and left.

In the room, Long Xinghe was reading a military text.

In the eyes of modern people, ancient military tactics are outdated in many respects.

But applied to this era, they were still very useful.

Of course, if combined with modern military strategies, they would be even more ingenious and effective.

"Master!" Jiang Tao stared at her, unable to help but call out.

"Hmm?" Long Xinghe, who had been focused on the military text, had not noticed her words.

Long Xinghe raised her eyebrows: "What did you say? Say it again."

Jiang Tao was somewhat irritated, almost rolling her eyes: "I was suggesting a strategy for you to keep Prince Xiaoyao here."

"Oh?" Long Xinghe arched her brows, "What kind of strategy? Let’s hear it."

But she looked as though she truly didn’t care.

Jiang Tao knew it wasn’t that she didn’t care about Prince Xiaoyao, but rather, she felt there was simply no chance.

Jiang Tao said resentfully: "I was hoping you could put some medicine in the Prince’s tea, overpower him, and forcefully keep him here!"

Long Xinghe almost laughed: "If it’s about overpowering him, why should any poison be necessary?"

Jiang Tao paused and then thought, indeed.

Could it be the Master had also considered this possibility?

"Then Master, when do you plan to..." She didn’t finish her sentence, but the Master understood what she meant, right?

Long Xinghe glanced at her and shook her head with a smile: "If I really were to treat Wuya like that, he would rather die than submit, and what I would get would be nothing more than his cold corpse."

Moreover, matters of affection require mutual consent.

If one’s heart is not in it, what’s the point of continuing day after day?

"Master, what do you mean by that?" Jiang Tao was somewhat disappointed.

"Do you really intend to send the Prince back, back to Chu Qianli’s side? Won’t your heart ache?"

Long Xinghe did not speak, though her face did not show any particularly saddening expression.

Heartache was natural, desiring to see him every day, how could she bear to give him to someone else?

But if that was the life he liked, why should she insist on it?

"Master!" Jiang Tao couldn’t understand, the Master was decisive in action.

Why then, when it came to matters of affection, did she seem so hesitant and unsure?

"Master, are you really content? For the Prince, you..."

"Has he ever asked me to do anything for him?" Long Xinghe answered nonchalantly, continuing to flip through the book.

"He never asked anything of me. Whatever I have done, I did of my own free will."

You want to give, but you need the other person to be willing to accept your offering. Only then is the effort mutual.

If you are the only one giving, the other party can also think of other ways to do what they want.

Thus, your offering might not actually be as precious to them as you think.

Although she had indeed helped him a great deal, Long Xinghe was also clear in her heart that whatever she could do, Chu Qianli could have done for Feng Wuya as well.

However, Chu Qianli entrusted Feng Wuya to her only after considerable deliberation.

Even though there were many issues left unresolved between her and Chu Qianli in their previous lives,

she and Chu Qianli still held a measure of trust in each other.

"If at the beginning of my giving, I expect something in return, then it’s not about helping him; it’s about holding him hostage."
