Are you crazy? Why did you say 'you two’?
She secretly gave Chu Chuyan a look. When she saw that she didn’t seem to have noticed, she sighed in relief.
No, I have to stay further away from this guy. If I stay at his side, the Unshakable Daoist Manual I cultivated so bitterly will be ruined by him sooner or later!
She felt more and more uncomfortable, so she decided to just leave to give these two lovebirds some space alone.
Chu Chuyan was actually a bit unhappy that Zu An would always end up having more women who had ambiguous relationships with him whenever she left for a bit. She wanted him to live clean and honest from now on. However, with her personality, she couldn't bring herself to say those words.
In the end, all of those unspoken words changed into something else. She said, “Ah Zu, the Qin clan will likely be involved in these events on Violet Mountain. I’ll have to entrust it all to you. Youzhao in particular… Who knows what kind of suffering she’s gone through because of this. You have to help me take care of her.”
Zu An said with a chuckle, “Don’t worry. Youzhao is your little sister, so she’s my little sister too. I’ll definitely take good care of her. I’ll also help the Qin clan.”
She probably didn’t know how severe the situation with the Qin clan was, but there was no need to tell her. What she needed right now was to focus on her newly acquired opportunity. All of those things would only distract her.
Chu Chuyan nodded. Just as she was about to leave, she gave him a look. Suddenly, she turned around and jumped into his arms to hug him tightly.
“Chuyan, what’s wrong?” Zu An asked. He hadn’t expected Chuyan to take the initiative like this with her normally ice-cold personality.
After responding to her hug, he reflexively glanced at Yan Xuehen off to the side. Her face was completely cold. He couldn't sense any changes in emotion at all.
He felt a shiver. Double the joy also meant double the worries.
Chu Chuyan didn’t reply to his question, and bit down fiercely on his shoulder instead. Then, she broke out into a small jog under his shocked gaze.
Yan Xuehen walked over casually, so Zu An took the chance to ask, “Big sis Yan, what is going on with her?”
“You’re always fondling the flowers and trampling the grass out there, so of course she felt wronged. It’s good that she’s venting a bit,” Yan Xuehen said coldly.
Forget about Chuyan, even she wanted to give that brat a vicious bite.
All of the women he had at his side were goddess-like beings. Anyone who could obtain even a single one of them would be extremely careful not to hurt them in any way. Which one of them would dare to go after other women too? And yet, this guy kept doing exactly that!
If he had been despicable and shameless, using any means fair or foul, and was purely infatuated by their beauty, that wouldn’t be so hard to deal with. She would have just cut that thing off, or perhaps even killed him to settle things.
However, according to her understanding of Zu An, many things had happened between him and every one of those women. After all of the difficulties they experienced, he had even been willing to give up his life for them. Their relationships had then happened naturally, so she couldn't even find any reason to blame him.
He and Chuyan probably share similar circumstances…
Pah pah pah! What am I thinking about right now?!
“Until we meet again,” Yan Xuehen said, feeling her cheeks heat up. She would end up making a fool of herself if she stayed here any longer. She left behind those words coldly before quickly flying off into the distance.
Zu An was about to chase after her when Zhang Zijiang ran over, saying, “Sir Zu, the princess is shouting that she wants to meet you.”
“I won’t,” Zu An refused in annoyance.
After some hesitation, Zhang Zijiang continued, “She says she has a huge secret to tell you. If you don’t go, you will definitely regret it.”
Zu An frowned. Just what kind of huge secret was it that made Zhao Xiaodie so confident? Could it be that there were still other secrets on King Qi’s side?
When he saw that Yan Xuehen had already left, out of helplessness, he could only move over to the courtyard that was holding Zhao Xiaodie.
The usually high-spirited princess was now like a butterfly with her wings clipped; she was dejected, and the expression in her eyes was vacant. She was lying on the table and staring out of the window in a daze.
“Princess, what did you need to see me for?” Zu An asked, coughing lightly. He didn’t enter, however, and remained standing outside the entrance.
