"Thank you very much, Brother Jin." Qiu Honglei smiled and sent him away, then curiously looked around the small courtyard in front of her.

"I wonder if there are any secrets hidden in that guy's daily life." Qiu Honglei said with a playful look, pushing open his door, intending to look around and see if she could find out why Zu An had changed so much from a recognized good-for-nothing in such a short time.

Suddenly her expression changed, and she quickly dodged to the side.

At the same time, a sharp gust of wind swept in.

"Huh?" The other party clearly did not expect her to dodge this seemingly inevitable attack.

Qiu Honglei was also secretly alarmed. The opponent's timing and angle were so exquisite that she could not defend against them. The dodge just now was a 120% performance. If it happened again, she was not sure if she could dodge it.

"woman?"

Although the other person's soft exclamation was fleeting, it did not escape her ears.

"Who exactly is it?"

Because there was no time to light the lamps, the room was completely dark, and the two exchanged more than ten blows in the darkness.

"Could it be the second young lady of the Chu family?" She dismissed the thought as soon as it crossed her mind.

As everyone knows, it seems that Miss Chu has used up all the Chu family's spiritual energy by herself. Her younger sister, apart from inheriting her beautiful mother's looks, is a good-for-nothing.

As for whether she will hide her true abilities... Hmph, there aren't that many surprises in this world. One Zuan is already enough, how could there be another one by such a coincidence?

"Who exactly is this person? And why is he in Zu'an's room?" Qiu Honglei wondered, her interest growing stronger.

She planned to capture the other party first, feeling as if she had stumbled upon a great secret.

Unfortunately, her opponent's cultivation level was ridiculously high. She attacked without holding back, but her attacks were still blocked by the opponent. Several times, she was even almost countered by the opponent.

Because she was worried about alerting the Chu family, Qiu Honglei did not dare to use her elemental powers and simply fought with her opponent using fist and foot techniques.

The more they fought, the more frightened they became!

Pei Mianman was equally shocked. She had been waiting for Zu An in her room, and she didn't understand why all the consciousnesses in the world were flocking to him these days.

Perhaps it was because she had never had many friends growing up, and Zuan was different from others, which made her cherish the time they spent together.

Of course, her reason was to train Zu'an to prevent him from being killed by Chen Xuan.

I arrived earlier than usual today. Hearing the commotion outside, I thought Zu'an had returned. Full of anticipation, I found that it was a woman who came in.

Although it was unclear, the aura of the other party was obviously not that of Chu Chuyan, Chu Huanzhao, or other members of the Chu family.

Noticing her furtive behavior upon entering, she assumed she was sent by Chen Xuan and immediately took action.

I thought it would be an easy problem, but who knew that the other party's cultivation level was ridiculously high.

The two exchanged dangerous blows, fighting dozens of times in the darkness, yet neither could gain the upper hand.

Several times, Pei Mianman almost couldn't resist using her black flames, but she didn't want Chu Chuyan to know that she often came here, so she held back.

So the two women, each with their own agendas, began a physical fight, exchanging punches and kicks.

Zu An was naturally unaware of the fierce battle taking place in his room; he was completely focused on healing Chu Chuyan's injuries.

At first, Chu Chuyan resisted subconsciously, but she also knew how powerless her resistance was.

After a while, she suddenly froze, her face turning bright red: "You bastard!"

After saying that, he bit the other person's shoulder hard.

She wanted to repay him for all the pain she had felt!

Zuan gasped, not from pain, but from the sheer cold.

Who said that even the coldest woman has a warm body inside?

That was indeed the case last time.

But today's experience felt like entering a world of ice and snow.

If it weren't for the fact that his body had been tempered by the Primordial Scripture and that he was exceptionally gifted, an ordinary man would probably have instantly shrunk in pain, and might even have been left with a wound that he could never recover from.

Zuan gently combed her slightly disheveled hair and said with pity, "Your body is so cold. You were pretending to be strong all this time. You must have been suffering a lot."

Chu Chuyan's eyes instantly reddened. These words seemed to shatter her hard shell in an instant, revealing her most vulnerable side.

"Are you hurt?" After her initial shame and anger, Chu Chuyan now felt somewhat apologetic.

Zuan laughed heartily: "I couldn't be happier to have this happen to me, how could I possibly get hurt?"

"You bastard!" Chu Chuyan pinched him hard again in anger, but he did feel that the other person was like a blazing sun, radiating endless warmth.

"Is it comfortable?" Zuan suddenly asked.

Chu Chuyan: "..."

How am I supposed to answer such a shameless question?

So she simply turned her face to the side, biting her lip and saying nothing.

Noticing her expression, Zu'an knew she had misunderstood, and explained with a wry smile, "I was asking if you're feeling better now. I'm using Primordial Chaos Qi to warm your body. If anything seems wrong, you need to communicate with me promptly so that I can heal your injuries as quickly as possible."
