Could it be that Zhao Hao and his group are secretly plotting against us?

It's no wonder she couldn't think of the Ghost King; after all, the Ghost King has countless experts under his command, so there's no need for him to spend a lot of money to issue such a mission to the Adventurer Guild.

At this moment, the middle-aged man glanced at Zu An unexpectedly, whether because Zu An had seen through his identity or recognized him as the target of the highest kill order.

Then he turned to Jing Teng: "Teng Teng, am I really that worthless in your eyes?"

Jing Teng frowned: "Zang Ao, don't call me that disgusting name."

The two were already at loggerheads the moment they met.

The handsome middle-aged man opposite him gave a wry smile: "Fine, fine, since you don't like it, then I won't call you that."

Jing Teng chuckled twice: "That tone again. Maybe you could have fooled that little girl back then, but now, hearing you say that makes me feel only disgust!"

The handsome middle-aged man remained silent for a long time before saying, "I know that what happened back then deeply hurt you. I dare not ask for your forgiveness, but I was really too young and inexperienced back then. That's why I was at a loss when I learned your identity, which led me to make a big mistake."

"If you're not begging for my forgiveness, then why say all this?" Jing Teng sneered. "It makes me think you're very hypocritical."

Zuan, Qiu Honglei, Yan Xuehen, and even Wei Suo silently watched from the sidelines as the two sides engaged in a fierce struggle.

Qiu Honglei secretly transmitted her voice to Zu An: "It seems that the two of them still have some lingering feelings. If the feelings were truly gone, they would be indifferent, not arguing so passionately."

"Not necessarily. Even without feelings, being deceived is still infuriating enough," Zuan replied.

"That's true." Qiu Honglei smiled and continued to watch the drama unfold.

Feeling awkward under so many gazes, the middle-aged man looked at the people around Jing Teng and asked, "Are these all your friends?"

Jing Teng nodded: "They are all my friends and have helped me a lot. This is Miss Qiu, and this is Young Master Wei."

Qiu Honglei was one thing, but when Wei Suo heard the other party call him "Young Master," he immediately straightened his chest, his heart filled with pride.

When it was Zuan's turn, Jing Teng hesitated for a moment, then took his arm and gently rested her head on his shoulder: "This is my man."

The middle-aged man's smile froze instantly, and he stared fiercely at Zu An.

"Not a boyfriend, but a man?" This phrase lingered in his mind, and too many guesses arose in his heart.

Zuan's expression froze instantly. He was just enjoying the gossip, how did it get to him?

Yan Xuehen and Qiu Honglei's sharp and unfriendly gazes instantly fixed on him.

"This brat has only been in this world for a short time, and he's already hooked up with another beautiful woman? This is outrageous!"

Anger from Yan Xuehen: +666 +666 +666...

"I knew it, I knew it! I felt something was off about them the whole way here, and sure enough, they're having an affair. When did they get together? And they've been keeping it a secret from me until now. Ah Zu is such a despicable womanizer!"

The anger value from Qiu Honglei is +666 +666 +666...

Sensing the constant stream of angry messages in the background, Zu An felt the intense killing intent within them and knew things couldn't continue like this. Just as he was about to say something to explain, he heard Jing Teng's anxious voice in his ear: "Help me!"

Seeing the hint of pleading in her eyes, Zu An didn't want to expose her.
