Sigh, if she found out, she'd probably kill me, right?
It would be awkward for everyone to talk about this, so he could only remain silent.
Just then, the sound of rushing water and rustling came from behind, clearly Tang Tian'er was getting dressed.
To ease his embarrassment, he took out a pill and handed it behind his back: "Here, take this."
"What is this? Are you trying to feed me poison again?" Tang Tian'er's sullen voice came from behind, clearly still resentful about being forced to eat the "Leopard Fetus Yi Jing Pill".
“I was wrong last time. I shouldn’t have forced you to take the poison. I’m so grateful that you’ve saved me this time and given me the antidote.” Zu An said sincerely. The poison was fake, and so was the antidote. It was just an ordinary tonic pill.
However, to put the other party at ease, the antidote still needs to be given.
"Antidote?" Tang Tian'er asked, fastening her skirt's belt as she stared at the pill with a half-smile. This guy probably doesn't know that I already know the Leopard Embryo Divination Pill is fake.
You're still trying to fool me!
However, she didn't expose him in the end. She walked over, took the pill, and casually stuffed it into her bosom: "At least you have a conscience."
Zu An breathed a sigh of relief and turned around. She was wearing a loose white jacket and skirt. Because she had just taken a bath, her skin was fair and rosy. Her wet hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She was truly as beautiful and lovely as a lotus emerging from the water.
"Still looking? I didn't get enough of looking just now," Tang Tian'er muttered, subconsciously tightening her clothes.
Zu An coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, the people from the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce seemed to respect you a lot just now. What exactly is your identity?"
He simply couldn't believe that an auctioneer at Xiaoyao Tower could receive such treatment.
Tang Tian'er replied, "Because the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce is owned by my family."
Zuan: "???"
Although he had many guesses, he never expected this answer.
"You own this place?"
"Um."
It took Zu'an a long time to process this astonishing news. After all, she seemed to have heard people here calling her "Young Miss," and the respect the man in the yellow-patterned black robe showed her was genuine.
"Then why did you go and become a host at Xiaoyao Tower?" This was what Zu'an found most puzzling.
Tang Tian'er snorted, turned around, her skirt fluttering, and sat down on the chair with a flourish: "This young lady doesn't like to concern herself with family affairs. She just likes to go around playing different roles and experiencing all kinds of life. Isn't that amazing?"
"Uh, that's pretty impressive." In his heart, Zu'an thought to himself, "Why would someone who's a young lady like you choose to be a lackey elsewhere? Isn't that crazy?"
"And you? Why are you here?" Tang Tian'er picked up some fruit that had been prepared and started eating, while pushing the fruit plate towards Zu An. "I overheard them talking about something, and it seems you overheard some secret?"
Zuan was naturally not in the mood for food right now. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'm investigating a case. I just received intelligence that the murderer might be at the Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect to stumble upon their gathering. The murderer was indeed among them, but there were too many experts, so I can only avoid them for now."
Tang Tian'er smiled and said, "They are indeed very powerful. It's really remarkable that you were able to escape with your life from them."
Zuan was taken aback: "You know who they are?"
