Hearing her nemesis's voice, Yan Xuehen, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was so frightened that her heart jumped into her throat. She hurriedly put on her clothes, even buttoning them up wrong.

Seeing her so anxious she was about to cry, Zu An chuckled and reached out to help her unbutton and rebutton her clothes.

Yan Xuehen panicked even more. If the demoness came in and saw this scene, she would never be able to clear her name.

"Don't worry, she can't come in for the time being," Zu An said softly.

Yan Xuehen then realized that he had most likely used time stop again, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her cheeks flushing slightly: "I can do it myself..."

If I let this guy help me tidy up my clothes, I'm afraid I'll run out of energy very quickly, and I'll probably give myself away later.

Zuan watched her get dressed with a smile on his face. The ancients said that beauty is pleasing to the eye, but he thought that the charm of her dressed up was even more beautiful.

Yan Xuehen felt embarrassed by his intense gaze and quickly turned around, straightening her clothes behind his back.

"Is it done?" Zuan asked, about to undo the time stop for the girls.

"Wait a minute!" Yan Xuehen hurriedly stopped him. Under the other party's questioning gaze, she quickly circulated the Ice Heart Technique that she usually practiced. After several cycles, the blush on her face gradually faded, and she regained her usual cold and aloof demeanor, like snow-capped mountains.

Zuan clicked his tongue in amazement, recalling the other person's subtle charm just now; the contrast was truly breathtaking.

No wonder so many men online liked women with contrasting personalities in my past life; it really felt special.

"Don't give anything away later," Yan Xuehen said, still a little worried, keeping a close eye on him.

"Don't worry, I'm a veteran actor," Zu'an assured him, patting his chest.

Yan Xuehen couldn't help but feel a little jealous: "It seems you've been stealing too many kisses and jade, you're certainly experienced in this area."

Zuan: "..."

Yan Xuehen was finally ready. Zu An snapped his fingers, and the flow of time for the others in the room returned to normal.

“Aunt, my master…” Qiu Honglei said subconsciously, her eyes darting around the room. But when she saw Yan Xuehen sitting neatly dressed on a stool, and Zu An healing her from a distance, she was stunned.

Just now, the master felt that the time was almost up and suspected that the two were probably doing something good, so he hinted to her to come over and "catch them in the act".

She was initially a little embarrassed and wanted her master to come over by himself, but she couldn't resist her master's past domineering presence, so she could only come over half-reluctantly and half-excitedly.

I thought I'd stumble upon some juicy gossip when the door suddenly opened, but who knew this was what was inside?

The master used to exaggerate her abilities to the point that they were unparalleled, but this is what happened?

Master, is it going to work or not?

While she looked embarrassed, Pei Mianman was quite puzzled. She knew the relationship between Yan Xuehen and Zu An better than anyone else. Even if the two of them didn't dare to do anything in their room in private, they would never be so distant as strangers.

Of course, at this moment, she couldn't voice her doubts.

"What happened to your master?" Zu An asked.

Noticing the other person's gaze, Qiu Honglei felt a little guilty. Yun Yuqing, who was standing next to her, helped her out, saying, "Sister Yun's injury has run into some trouble. Just now, for some reason, it suddenly became much worse. We had no choice but to ask you for help."

"Really? I think she's doing quite well," Zu'an said, glancing towards the door.

The girls turned around instinctively and saw Yun Yuqing rushing over: "Why did you take so long?"

Seeing everyone staring at her, Yun Jianyue froze for a moment.

Her eyes quickly scanned the scene, and when she saw that Yan Xuehen was dressed neatly and still in her usual icy and aloof state, she was completely dumbfounded.

How is that possible?

"Sister Yun, what's wrong with you..." Yun Yuqing was very puzzled and shocked.

Yun Yuqing reacted quickly and hurriedly laughed it off: "I suddenly managed to straighten out the chaotic energy in my body. I realized I had recovered and was worried that you would disturb their healing, so I came to stop you, but it was too late."

Yun Yuqing, without suspecting anything, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "Sister, it's so good that you're alright."

Yun Jianyue smiled awkwardly, but felt extremely embarrassed inside.

Qiu Honglei wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground. If Azu knew what the two of them had just done, she would be too ashamed to face anyone.

Only Pei Mianman's gaze lingered between the master and disciple, as well as Zu An Yan Xuehen.

She had a general idea of ​​why Yun Jianyue and her master were behaving so strangely, but she couldn't understand why Azu and Yan Xuehen hadn't revealed any clues.

Furthermore, why would Yun Jianyue and her master suspect that the two had that kind of relationship?

If one hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have believed that the aloof and icy Master Yan would have anything going on with Azu.

She was thinking about whether to remind Ah Zu, but then she thought, what does this have to do with me? It's happiest to just watch from the sidelines.

Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

After this farce, Yun Jianyue slunk back to her room first. After they left, Yan Xuehen looked at her strangely and said, "Grandpa, I have a feeling that the demoness is after me."

"Is that so? Don't overthink it, it was just an accident." Zu An could also see it, but he was also close to Yun Jianyue, and he had already sided with Yan Xuehen once. If he continued to help her, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Sister Yun.

"Ah Zu, did you really not use that special energy on me just now?" Yan Xuehen suddenly asked.

"No, it was just a normal reaction when emotions run high." Zu An comforted her, realizing that it was no wonder Yan Xuehen reacted so strangely just now; Yun Jianyue must have used that ability on her.
