The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 380 The Young Singer's Journey 49

On the surface, Xiao Jingxia was doing his best, but in reality, he was secretly sabotaging Xiao Chong's plans, causing them to be repeatedly thwarted. Countless carefully planned schemes were ruined by him.

It was precisely because Xiao Jingxia secretly created obstacles for the White King that the struggle between the original owner and the White King was always kept in a delicate balance.

Otherwise, given the original owner's brains...

Hey!

Xiao Yu had no idea what Xiao Jingxia was after, who didn't care about fame or fortune.

Xiao Chong treated him so well, and even though Xiao Jingxia always dragged Xiao Chong down, Xiao Chong didn't mind at all, and even promised Xiao Jingxia a bright future.

On the other hand, the original owner of this body had been wary of Xiao Jingxia ever since he surrendered, and had never even given him a kind look.

However, Xiao Jingxia seemed to be under a spell, wholeheartedly helping the original owner.

Xiao Yu couldn't understand it, he really couldn't understand it.

Everything has a cause before it has an effect.

Xiao Jingxia's loyalty, however, was like a tree without roots or water without a source; it came out of nowhere.

Could it be that the original owner of this body or Yi Wenjun once saved his life?

Or is he trying to profit from the situation?

Or perhaps Emperor Mingde deliberately sent him to balance the struggle between the two princes, in order to buy time for Xiao Chuhe.

Xiao Yu frowned, pondered carefully, and felt that these guesses were all untenable.

First of all, the original owner ignored Xiao Jingxia since childhood, so it would be a complete fantasy to say that Xiao Jingxia had ever received any favors from the original owner.

Even when Xiao Jingxia was in trouble, the original owner was kind enough not to kick him while he was down.

Furthermore, although Yi Wenjun was nominally a favored concubine, Emperor Mingde actually harbored resentment towards her because of what happened years ago, and the two never saw each other. She, however, never cared about this, spending her days gazing blankly at the sky in the palace, never interacting with the outside world, and probably never even met Xiao Jingxia.

As for the claim that Xiao Jingxia coveted the throne, that's utterly absurd. If he truly harbored such ambitions, why would he waver between the two princes and waste his energy in vain?

He has neither power nor a foundation, so this approach is undoubtedly digging his own grave.

As for the claim that he might have helped Emperor Mingde incite conflict between the two princes, that's laughable.

Xiao Jingxia isn't stupid; why would she risk her life to pave the way for Xiao Chuhe?

Xiao Yu thought about it again and again, but still couldn't figure out the key point.

He'd seen plenty of strange things, but this was the first time he'd ever seen anything this inexplicable.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Xiao Yu simply sent someone to Xiao Jingxia, inviting him to his residence that evening for a chat.

Upon receiving the news, Xiao Jingxia happily went to the Red King's mansion that evening. The moment he saw Xiao Yu, his eyes lit up with pure joy and undisguised excitement.

"Seventh Brother, this is the first time you've taken the initiative to ask me to meet."

"..."

Xiao Yu remained silent, sensing that something was amiss.

Why was Xiao Jingxia happy after seeing him?

Moreover, there seemed to be a subtle hint of fanaticism and adoration hidden in that smile.

Worship? Fanaticism?

These two words swirled in Xiao Yu's mind, causing him to frown.

He subtly observed Xiao Jingxia: "I've summoned you here today because I have important matters to discuss."

Before Xiao Yu could finish speaking, Xiao Jingxia eagerly interjected, "Seventh Brother, whatever it is, I will do my utmost to handle it for you."

His words were sincere and firm, and his gaze was fixed on Xiao Yu, as if he would carry out Xiao Yu's orders without hesitation.

His expression was sincere, not feigned.

This deepened Xiao Yu's doubts, so he decided to stop beating around the bush and asked directly, "You and the Second Prince are siblings from the same mother, so you should be the strongest allies. Why have you turned around and helped me?"

Xiao Jingxia was surprised that he would ask this question. Her face turned bright red instantly, and she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look Xiao Yu in the eye.

However, his increasingly rapid breathing betrayed the turmoil in his heart.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yu felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and an indescribable sense of horror welled up in his heart.

Could it be... that Xiao Jingxia has some improper thoughts about him?

Xiao Yu couldn't help but shiver, goosebumps rising all over his body, and his gaze at Xiao Jingxia was almost murderous.

If the person in front of you really has this intention, then they are truly courting death.

A ruthless glint flashed across Xiao Yu's face.

Xiao Jingxia sensed the sudden change in Xiao Yu's wary gaze and was startled. He quickly explained, "Seventh Brother, you've misunderstood! The reason I helped you is because..."

At this point, Xiao Jingxia hesitated for a moment, as if the following words were somewhat difficult to utter.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu was extremely flustered and quickly asked, "Why?"

"Because you're too good-looking..."

Xiao Jingxia's voice was barely audible, almost drowned out by the surrounding silence. Her head drooped lower and lower, almost burying itself in her chest, completely unable to look Xiao Yu in the eye.

"what?"

Xiao Yu could hardly believe his ears. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Jingxia in shock.

What did he just hear?

Xiao Jingxia helped him solely because he was handsome.

Just because of this?

How can this be?

How could such an absurd thing happen in the world?

One person helps another, not for fame or fortune, but simply because the other person is good-looking?

Xiao Yu's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

However, looking into Xiao Jingxia's incredibly sincere eyes, he had no choice but to accept this unbelievable fact.

Good heavens! Is this absurd thing really true?

Xiao Yu was confident in his extensive knowledge and experience, but he still found it difficult to accept this situation.

He was unaware that in later generations there was a profession called idol, and that fans, when facing their idols, would display an almost obsessive fervor and reverence, just like Xiao Jingxia before him.

She's obsessed with her brother all day long, she's crazy about him, she'd even bang her head against a wall for him.

Xiao Jingxia was just like that.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yu didn't understand these things.

He found the whole thing utterly absurd.

Yi Wenjun's beauty transcends the realm of ordinary women; she is like the most exquisite masterpiece in the world, enough to captivate all beings and unify all aesthetic standards in the world.

People can criticize her character, but they can't deny her looks.

Ye Dingzhi led the Demonic Sect on an eastern expedition for her sake, Emperor Mingde would rather be cuckolded than kill her, and Luo Qingyang still thinks of her to this day.

Even Li Changsheng, after meeting her, couldn't help but sigh that if he were a hundred years younger, he probably wouldn't be able to resist drawing his sword and taking her away to a distant land.

As Yi Wenjun's son, Xiao Yu naturally inherited his mother's good looks.

With delicate and well-defined features, handsome yet not effeminate, and a heroic air between his brows, he was the most outstanding in appearance among Emperor Mingde's many princes, but Xiao Yu never regarded this as an advantage.

After all, the struggle for power is ruthless and merciless; others won't show you any mercy just because you're good-looking.

But to everyone's surprise, Xiao Jingxia's appearance today completely overturned Xiao Yu's perception.

Xiao Yu: This world is really crazy!
