The woman before him was dressed in flowing white robes, with a cold and aloof gaze. Unlike Chu Chuyan, her jade-like face exuded a dignified and imposing aura, likely a result of her long-term leadership of one of the world's top sects.
With her arrival, the temperature in the entire room dropped several degrees.
Zuan's first thought was that Chu Yan was quite cold back then, but her body was very warm. He wondered if this woman would be the same.
The thought startled him, and he quickly composed himself.
He could only be thankful that this world didn't have abilities like telepathy; otherwise, if the other party knew what he was thinking, they would probably grind him to dust.
"Your eyes are off." Yan Xuehen frowned slightly and gave him a displeased look.
"Ahem, please forgive me, I am injured and cannot get up to pay my respects to Abbot Yan." Zu An had no choice but to feign weakness and change the subject.
If someone sneaks into his room in the middle of the night, they're unlikely to be interested in romance.
If the other party really intends to kill, pretend to be seriously injured to lull her into a false sense of security, and see if there's a chance to turn the tables later.
"Master Yan?" Yan Xuehen snorted. "Given your relationship with Chu Yan, wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to call me Master Yan?"
Zu An felt a chill run down his spine; it seemed she had indeed discovered him. He could only tentatively ask, "Master?"
Yan Xuehen: "..."
"Who's your master? Don't try to claim any connection!"
Zuan said innocently, "You are Chuyan's master, and Chuyan and I are husband and wife. If I don't call you master, what else should I call you? I don't want to be seen as a knight who has destroyed his ancestors."
Yan Xuehen frowned slightly, feeling that the pronunciation of the words "betraying one's master and destroying one's ancestors" sounded a bit strange, but he just assumed it was a dialect difference and didn't delve into it: "Since you have this kind of relationship with Chu Yan, why are you still getting along so well with that demonic sect witch?"
Zuan was suddenly in a bit of a headache. He had imagined countless times what kind of chaotic scene would unfold when he met his confidante, but he never expected that it would be his confidante's elder who would start the chaotic scene.
He could only reply, "When I was captured by the imperial court, I encountered many dangers along the way. Fortunately, Miss Qiu risked her life to save me, which is why I survived. Chu Yan is also very clear about this matter."
The implication is that my wife knows about my relationship with Qiu Honglei, so why are you, as my master, meddling in my affairs?
Yan Xuehen was somewhat displeased: "She saved your life, you could have repaid her in other ways, why did you have to offer yourself to her? In the end, it's just that you were lustful because she was beautiful."
Zu An said seriously, "How can mutual affection be called lust?"
Yan Xuehen said indifferently, "You're good at arguing, but I'm too lazy to bother with your nonsense. Anyway, you and Chu Yan are already divorced, so you have nothing to do with each other from now on. Whether you're with the demoness from the Demonic Sect or other women, it's none of her business."
Zu'an panicked: "Our initial divorce was a forced choice to save the Chu family, not a divorce itself. Our feelings for each other remain..."
"Oh?" Before he could finish speaking, Yan Xuehen interrupted him, "In that case, who do you choose between Chu Yan and that demonic cult witch?"
"Uh..." Zuan hesitated for a moment, "Can I have them all?"
Although we can say some nice words to get by at this time, it will definitely hurt Qiu Honglei and Yun Jianyue's feelings if the news gets back to them later.
Moreover, judging from Yan Xuehen's seemingly hostile attitude towards Yun Jianyue, she will most likely... no, she will definitely pass these words on to others to show off.
Yan Xuehen: "???"
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +444 +444 +444...
Where does this guy get the nerve to say such shameless things in front of me?
Her face darkened: "Anyway, I never intended for you two to be together, so it doesn't matter if you want to be with the witch from the demonic sect."
Zu An frowned and said, "This is a private matter between Chu Yan and me. It's none of her sect's business."
“Of course it is necessary,” Yan Xuehen said indifferently. “Our sect’s cultivation method emphasizes transcending emotions. If she wants to cultivate to a higher level, she will eventually have to forget human love and affection. In that case, forgetting sooner is less painful than forgetting later. If you want what’s best for her, you should let go. True love should be about fulfilling the other person’s needs, not about selfish possession.”
Zu An was speechless, wondering what was wrong with these sects. The Demonic Sect's "Heavenly Demon's Enchanting Sound" required practitioners to remain chaste, and the Jade Palace also required practitioners to be detached from worldly desires. They might as well all practice the Sunflower Manual.
He looked at the other person quietly: "Has Abbot Yan ever been in a relationship?"
Yan Xuehen: "???"
She glanced at Zuan and said, "Of course not."
His tone was calm, as if he were talking about something he didn't care about at all.
"If you've never been in a relationship, how can you understand love?" Zu'an sighed. "The abbot's explanation was too simplistic. Those ideas about letting go in love and fulfilling the other person's wishes are often just poorly made romance novels used to fool young girls."
A blush flashed across Yan Xuehen's fair cheeks; she really had seen that sentence in a romance novel.
Her sect's cultivation method requires the supreme detachment from emotions, but she has no understanding of emotions at all, so how can she talk about detachment?
However, she disregards all men and would never personally engage in a romantic relationship.
Then she had a sudden inspiration and came up with a solution. She secretly bought most of the romance novels on the market and studied the love stories of those infatuated men and women. She felt that she had understood what love was and that it would be easier for her to be completely detached from love.
Among them, she highly recommends "Sweet Pampered Little Wife: The Domineering Sword Immortal's Ninety-Nine Times of Demanding Love", and even specially gave it to her apprentice Chu Chuyan to study in her spare time.
