The air fell silent because of the last four words of Manranyama Soho.

Ito Shinran: "What do you mean by that, Miss?"

Although Ito Shinran understood Manranyama Soho's thoughts, he did not speculate and appeared completely ignorant.

He understood very well that there were some things that he couldn't say and had to be instructed by Manranyama Soho.

It was precisely because of this wisdom in dealing with people that even after leaving Manranyama Uminari to join Manranyama Soho, Ito Shinran and his daughter Ito Yunai did not face any difficulties from Manranyama Uminari.

Manranyama Soho unconsciously twirled a finger in her hair.

"This person, Bai Yaxin, is quite annoying."

Manranyama Soho said.

"At first, he was like a little bug...buzzing in your ear."

"Very annoying, flying around, but there's no way to drive him away or swat him."

"People...are just like that."

Manranyama Soho smiled with a hint of regret, like a crack in the magnificent palace walls.

Giving a sense of incompleteness.

"I always feel that these little disturbances don't require much effort."

"It's like flies buzzing around a lion, the lion won't go out of its way to kill the flies."

"And the result is, the flies take advantage of it."

Speaking of this, a bitter expression flashed across Manranyama Soho's delicate face.

"What we can't calculate is that this fly, Bai Yaxin, is not just a fly."

"It grows bigger and bigger..."

"In the end, it becomes a monster."

"A monster that even the lion doesn't dare to easily confront."

"Its terror doesn't lie in itself."

"But in the followers it has gathered."

"Behind it are a bunch of restless jackals and hyenas, crazy enough to fight without caring about their own lives."

Manranyama Soho's voice paused here, as if to allow her words to linger in the air a while longer.

And between these lingering words, Manranyama Soho exchanged glances with Ito Shinran.

Manranyama Soho and even Ito Shinran's wisdom and skills in dealing with people didn't need to be pointed out at this point.

But she recruited Ito Shinran not for his diplomacy, but for his execution and capabilities.

"What does Miss need me to do?"

Ito Shinran softly asked.

Wang Anshi has a poem, it goes like this."

Manranyama Soho didn't directly answer Ito Shinran, but brought up an ancient Chinese poem.

"Half of the autumn clouds open in the north of the river, but the late clouds with rain are low and retreating."

After reciting a line, Manranyama Soho paused and looked at Ito Shinran.

"...Around the green mountains, the path seems to be impassable, then suddenly thousands of sails are hidden."

Ito Shinran slightly pondered and recited the second half of the poem. Upon hearing Ito Shinran's response, a satisfied expression appeared on Manranyama Soho's face.

"Yeah, that's what I thought after I learned about this person named Chongzong."

"Individually, he's not particularly strong."

"Comparing his scheming abilities to someone like Bai Yaxin, he's far behind."

"But he's just such a magical person."

"He managed to accomplish so many unbelievable things."

"To be honest, I didn't have high expectations for him."

"But gradually, whenever I think of him, I feel like if we entrust things to him, he can definitely do it."
