Zhang Zijiang pointed to Zu An's room: "Of course, I'll be staying with Lord Zu!"

"Ah?" Xie Daoyun's face turned completely red.

Even Zuan, who was writing a letter at his desk in the distance, couldn't help but raise his head and look in this direction with a puzzled expression.

Zhang Zijiang then explained in a serious tone: "The main reason is that you are now Lord Zu's personal guard, so naturally you need to live close to him, take care of his daily life, and be ready to obey his orders at night, such as running errands and delivering messages. If you live separately, the people of Zhengyang Sect will definitely suspect your identity. In addition, your skin is so fair, and if they suspect you, they will easily find out that you are a woman. You have also appeared at the Prince of Yan's residence before, so it will not be difficult for the Grand Preceptor to think that it is you."

Xie Daoyun was somewhat uneasy: "But...but..."

She hadn't considered this aspect at all; otherwise, she would never have suggested disguising herself as a member of Zaun's personal guard.

Zhang Zijiang laughed and said, "Don't worry, Miss Xie, you will be staying in this room outside. It's separated from the main room. You will only need to go there to await orders when the commander needs you. I don't think Lord Zu will make things difficult for you in the middle of the night."

After saying that, he secretly winked at Zu'an.

At the same time, I deeply admire myself. I'm so clever. This flattery was absolutely masterful.

If a man and a woman are alone in a room with a fire burning, wouldn't it be easy for things to ignite?

What effect does the partition in the middle have?

I imagine Lord Zu knows what to do.

He must be thinking to himself that I'm good at handling things.

Hmph, you surnamed Wang, all you do is act stupidly. What makes you think you can compare to me?

Seeing Zhang Zijiang's proud look, Zu An was speechless. So all that was all he did was give him that wink just for this move.

Just as he was about to say something, Xie Daoyun nodded and said, "General Zhang is right. I'll stay here."

Anyway, there's a door separating them, which is similar to the way maids live in a mansion. Besides, Brother Zu is a gentleman, so he probably wouldn't do anything rude in the middle of the night.

Although she kept telling herself this, her face was still as red as the sunset.

Sensing her embarrassment, Zu'an walked over and suggested, "The scenery outside seems quite nice, why don't we go for a walk together and see if there's anything unusual about Zishan?"

"Okay~" Xie Daoyun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her elder brother Zu was really considerate and specially helped her out of the predicament.

Zhang Zijiang smiled and said, "There are still some things to arrange here, so I won't go."

What a joke! If you disturb the boss's private time, all your previous flattery will have been for nothing.

Zu An and Xie Daoyun left the villa. Along the way, they saw many people, all disciples of various sects. It was a rare opportunity, and everyone was either curiously visiting the various scenic spots of Zishan, exchanging their cultivation insights, or reuniting with old friends.

Some hot-blooded male disciples were loitering around female disciples from other sects, provoking angry glares from the male disciples of those sects.

Of course, the overall atmosphere was quite friendly, and no one dared to cause trouble in such a place for the time being. Firstly, it would be a loss of face for the sect, and secondly, it would be easy to lose the qualification for the later sect competition.

At this moment, two women walked towards them from a short distance away, communicating in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"What's so special about Purple Mountain? Back in the day, I fought my way in and out of here seven times..."

"Alright, alright, I know you're amazing, Master, but you've already bragged about this eight hundred times."

"Have I said that many times?" The older woman was slightly taken aback.

“Of course,” the young woman was about to say something when her eyes suddenly lit up. “Master, look! It’s A-Zu!”

The older woman trembled instantly, and felt an urge to turn and run away.
