"What?" Upon hearing Yun Jianyue's words, Yan Xuehen's eyebrows furrowed as she stared at Zu An. "You're still not satisfied with someone like Chu Yan? You're still flirting with other women outside?"

Yu Yanluo, who was not far away, also had a very interesting expression. She felt that the woman's words were somewhat veiled.

However, she was also surprised. The disciple of the Demonic Sect leader was the sect's holy maiden, who was said to be able to remain a virgin for life. How could this guy, Zu'an, have managed to hook up with such a woman?

What surprised her even more was that Yun Jianyue, her master, didn't seem to mind at all.

Is something wrong with this world?

Yun Jianyue watched Zu An with a leisurely air, looking like she was enjoying the show.

Zu An felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that everyone was waiting for him to make a statement. If he didn't admit it, it would be unfair to Hong Lei if the news got back to her.

So, steeling himself, he said, "Hong Lei and I have been through thick and thin together, and we are truly in love. Chu Yan knew about this and even suggested bringing her into the family."

Yan Xuehen laughed angrily: "You actually have designs on having two women on each side?"

Anger from Yan Xuehen: +444 +444 +444...

Yu Yanluo thought to herself that this guy had more than just two female confidantes; according to her intelligence, he had more than two.

"Your courage is commendable. It's no wonder Honglei is so devoted to you," Yun Jianyue nodded approvingly, then looked at Yan Xuehen with disdain. "What do you mean by 'having one on each side'? Your disciple abandoned you when disaster struck. She divorced him when faced with the emperor's oppression, and they have no relationship now. Of course, if she's willing to curry favor with us in the future, I wouldn't mind having Honglei agree to let her become a concubine."

"Be a mistress? You're dreaming!" Yan Xuehen was furious. "Chu Yan is his legal wife, with whom he has sworn an oath of marriage. She told me about their separation, which was a result of their joint discussion to protect the Chu family, not a real divorce."

She disliked Zu'an and didn't want her apprentice to be bound by love, but it was one thing for her not to want him, and another for someone else to take him away.

If it were anyone else, she probably wouldn't get angry even if you said that, and might even be happy to go along with it.

But Yun Jianyue is different. Bai Yujing and the Demonic Sect are irreconcilable enemies. The two sects, and even the two of them, have been fighting each other for so many years. They cannot afford to lose to the other.

The thought of one's own apprentice becoming the mistress of another's apprentice?

Even though she always prided herself on being calm and collected, she couldn't help but feel agitated.

Zuan looked strange. Why was he admitting to the relationship between the two of them now?

Yun Jianyue clicked her tongue and said, "I never expected that the Bai Yujing sect, which is revered by the world, is actually a sect that steals men. It's truly an eye-opener."

"What did you say!" Yan Xuehen's face turned cold, and her aura surged instantly, causing the room, which had been warm from the earth fire, to freeze instantly.

Yu Yanluo trembled slightly. She hated anything icy the most, and this woman had made a mess of the room she had painstakingly designed.

At this moment, Yun Jianyue also summoned a crescent moon that swirled around her, and said with a half-smile, "What, you want to kill me to silence me now that I've hit the nail on the head?"

Yan Xuehen gradually regained her composure and said indifferently, "Yun Jianyue, it's not a good idea for you to deliberately provoke me. You are injured, and in a life-or-death struggle, you are no match for me."

Yun Jianyue didn't deny it: "That's right, I'm no match for you in my current state, but what if my precious disciple and son-in-law join the fight?"

"Disciple and son-in-law?" Zu An was speechless, thinking to himself, what kind of nonsense is this?

Yan Xuehen was taken aback and couldn't help but glance at Zu An. She had to admit that although this guy was far inferior to her, he was enough to interfere in the battle between her and Yun Jianyue.

At this moment, Yun Jianyue said again, "Moreover, Madam Yu will help me. This is the Yu family after all. You just isolated the internal and external auras, which is why the experts of the Yu family did not react. When we start fighting later, how can we hide it? When the many experts of the Yu family arrive, you will probably perish here."

Seeing that she had been dragged into this, Yu Yanluo said irritably, "Your feud has nothing to do with me, don't involve me."

Although she disliked Yan Xuehen, she also felt somewhat annoyed by Yun Jianyue.

The woman's ambiguous smile and her undeniable acceptance of Zu An as her apprentice and son-in-law made her somewhat uncomfortable.

Of course, reason told her that she was only doing this to avoid any association with the evil cult.

Who knew that Yun Jianyue seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and said with a charming smile, "It's normal that you don't help me, but when the fight breaks out later, will you not help Zu'an?"

Yu Yanluo was taken aback; indeed, she couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

At this moment, Yun Jianyue said again, "Don't worry, I'm not as domineering as those people in Baiyujing. Considering that you are loyal and affectionate towards Xiao Azu, I will let Honglei allow you to join the family as a sister."

Yu Yanluo's pretty face immediately turned red: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zuan was also very troubled. This person came from the Cloud Moon Demon Sect and did not care about his actions or words. He was simply afraid that the world was not chaotic enough.

At this moment, Yan Xuehen also realized what was going on: "Why do I feel like you're referring to yourself as the first wife in your words? Are you choosing sisters for your apprentice or for yourself?"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

Yu Yanluo looked at Yun Jianyue with some suspicion, while Zu An stared in disbelief.

Yan Xuehen has the demeanor of an upright fairy, but when she's cut open, she's so dark?

That's really a vicious remark.

As expected, a hint of annoyance flashed in Yun Jianyue's eyes, but she reacted quickly and suppressed it, then said with a smile, "So what if it is? For our Holy Sect, we value strength and future talent the most. We are very satisfied with Azu, so naturally I treat him as family. Rather than letting other men benefit, it's better to let him benefit."
