Hearing his sister-in-law's complaints, Zu An thought to himself that even this naive girl knew these things, which showed how difficult the Chu family's situation was.
The fact that these people appeared together suggests they weren't afraid of the Chu family finding out about their relationship; in fact, it could be said they were deliberately sending a signal to the outside world, urging them to choose sides as soon as possible.
Sang Hong looked like a gaunt old man, and with the goatee on his chin, he looked much older than his actual age. I heard that he was a famous and capable minister in the court, and used to be able to handle ten times the amount of official documents that a normal person could handle every day.
Although he looked a bit old, his eyes were very bright, making him appear exceptionally energetic, and he exuded a mysterious aura.
Zuan couldn't help but shake his head. He looked like a programmer, prematurely aged. The 996 work schedule was definitely not advisable.
In comparison, his son Sang Qian was much better. He stood there with high spirits. Although he was not as eye-catching as Xie Xiu and Shi Kun, his decisive military bearing still made many young female fans scream.
However, soon more women's attention turned to Shi Kun:
"Brother Stone, Brother Stone~"
"Kun-ge, I love you~"
"Wow, so handsome, I'm going to faint."
...
Zuan rolled his eyes. Is Shi Kun some kind of ape? Every time he appears, he attracts a crowd.
He patted Pei Mianman beside him: "Hey, tell me honestly, is that guy really that handsome? I think he's not as handsome as me."
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Pei Mianman's lips curled up slightly.
“Of course it’s a lie!” Zuan said confidently.
Pei Mianman chuckled: "You're quite an interesting person."
Chu Huanzhao, standing to the side, shifted his gaze between the two of them with a strange look, wondering why he always felt that something was off between them.
At this moment, Zuan's expression suddenly froze, because he received a series of anger points in the background:
Anger level from Qiao Xueying: +99+99+99+99...
Zu An was startled. What was going on? Was Xue'er nearby?
Thinking of the ruthlessness with which she tried to kill him, Zu An hurriedly began searching around. If she were to ambush him from the shadows, it would be quite troublesome.
However, he couldn't understand why Xue'er dared to come to this place. He knew that the training ground was now filled with important figures from the entire Bright Moon City, and it was full of experts. There were countless fifth-rank experts, not to mention the number of dogs in the field. There were also eighth-rank experts like Chu Zhongtian and Prefect Sang Hong. He had heard that Principal Jiang was also an eighth-rank expert. How could a fifth-rank spy like her dare to come here?
After all, no matter how bad things were between Sang Hong and the Chu family, they still respected each other on the surface. If something like a traitor or spy appeared in the Chu family, they would definitely help each other in public.
After looking around for a while without finding Xue'er, Zu An suddenly had a thought and hurriedly looked at Shi Kun's side. Sure enough, he noticed a pretty boy among the people behind him staring at him.
"Wearing a mask?" Combining the anger in the background and that familiar gaze, Zu'an was certain that she was Xue'er. Of course, she wasn't like those brainless period dramas where she simply changed into men's clothing and thought people wouldn't recognize her. Her appearance was completely different from before, so she must be wearing a mask or something.
The mask was quite amazing; if he hadn't been able to determine the other person's real name through the keyboard, he wouldn't have been able to tell that the person was wearing a mask.
Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still and hurriedly asked Pei Mianman, who was standing next to him, "Miss Pei, is there such a thing as the art of disguise?"
"Disguise?" Pei Mianman was taken aback, not expecting him to ask this suddenly, but she still answered, "Yes, some powerful rune masters can make masks to change their appearance."
"Can I disguise myself as whoever I want?" Zu An asked hurriedly.
“As far as I know, it won’t work,” Pei Mianman shook her head. “There are cultivators everywhere in this world, and they all have very sharp eyes. It’s fine if you disguise yourself as a stranger, but if you disguise yourself as someone you know, it will be easy for them to see through your disguise. Of course, the world is so big, and it’s not impossible that there really is such a miraculous skill somewhere.”
"That puts my mind at ease." Zu An breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei Mianman asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"
Zuan casually replied, "It just suddenly occurred to me that if someone were to use a mask to impersonate my handsome face and deceive young girls, wouldn't that ruin my reputation?"
Pei Mianman: "..."
Chu Huanzhao: "..."
At this moment, Xue'er seemed to notice his gaze and quickly looked away, clearly not wanting to be exposed here.
Zu'an wasn't in a hurry to expose her. Looking at Shi Kun, who was dressed like a handsome young man on the stage, he sneered inwardly: So you're the mastermind behind it all. It seems my guess was right. Let's have some fun then.
Previously, Shi Kun and his group were hiding in the shadows targeting him, putting him in a very passive position. Now, the other side is unaware that he already knows, and it has become Shi Kun hiding in the shadows. It's now Shi Kun's turn to be passive.
"Wu Qing's anger +33!"
Suddenly, he received another amount of anger points, and Zu'an was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he was so popular. These people were rushing to give him gifts.
He noticed that Wu Qing was following behind a middle-aged man, glaring at him. He couldn't be bothered with the girl's emotions and instead focused his attention on the middle-aged man she was following. Judging from his clothes and aura, that must be Duke Wu Wei of Yangquan next door.
He and Chu Zhongtian chatted happily in the stands, looking like old friends. Zu An sighed that these guys were all cunning old foxes.
