Yu Yanluo waved her hand to the outside, signaling the many experts of the Yu family not to approach.
At the same time, his gaze toward Zu An became strange. He wondered if this guy had some kind of magic power over women? How could someone like Yan Xuehen be involved with him?
Zu An was also completely confused: "Master Yan, we may be close, but I can still sue you for defamation if you say something nonsense. When did we spend a night together?"
With Yun Jianyue by his side, he naturally didn't need to fight Yan Xuehen to the death, so there was no need for him to call her "old Taoist nun" to provoke her.
"What nonsense..." Yan Xuehen frowned, but noticing the strange looks in Yun Jianyue and Yu Yanluo's eyes, she realized the ambiguity in her words.
A blush appeared on her fair cheeks, thankfully concealed by the veil.
She snorted coldly, and said with a mixture of shame and anger, "I mean, that night in that ice cave in the snowy mountain, it was actually you who did it."
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +146 +146 +146...
"Master Yan must be joking. According to the information I have, it was Gold Medal Eleven who helped Lady Yu and the Duke." Zu An's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the other party guessed that Gold Medal Eleven was me?
“Indeed, I witnessed this with my own eyes, and the Duke of the County also testified to it. I wonder why the Abbot says this,” Yu Yanluo naturally offered her explanation.
"You two are indeed in a very special relationship, like a husband and wife in perfect harmony," Yan Xuehen snorted coldly. "To believe whatever others say is something only fools do. We naturally need to make our own judgments."
“I didn’t hold back much just now, and I’ve brought this kid to the brink of death several times. But even in such a critical situation, he never tried to summon the imperial edict, which proves that he had already used it.” Yan Xuehen paused. “And the last time the imperial edict was used in Yunzhong County was at the Great Snow Mountain. Such a big commotion can’t be kept secret.”
"Tell me, why are you pinning the blame on Gold Medal Eleven? What are you trying to cover up?"
After she finished speaking, she stared sharply at the two of them.
Even Yun Jianyue's eyes turned somewhat dangerous. From her experience in the palace, she naturally knew that Zu An was the Eleventh Golden Medalist.
She thought it was a secret between the two of them. When Zuan told her about this identity, she didn't say anything, but she was quite touched.
But now it seems that other women also know about his Gold Medal Eleven identity. Is this guy using these secrets to pick up girls?
Thinking of this, her expression turned somewhat unfriendly.
Anger from Yun Jianyue: +248 +248 +248...
Zuan glanced at her in surprise, wondering why she had suddenly become angry.
However, the most urgent task is to answer Yan Xuehen's question: "The main issue is that it involved the deaths of several important figures in Yunzhong County. If my identity is involved, there may be unpredictable consequences later on."
"Moreover, Gold Medal Eleven is elusive and I'm worried that if the fact that I used the imperial edict is exposed, other forces will have no scruples when targeting us. That's why I used Gold Medal Eleven's name to make people mistakenly believe that I still have the imperial edict and thus hesitate to act against me."
Hearing him say that, Yun Jianyue's expression relaxed considerably. It turned out that this guy hadn't told anyone that he was a gold medalist.
"Is that so?" Yan Xuehen was somewhat suspicious, but the other party's explanation was reasonable enough. Her gaze fell on Yu Yanluo, "Does the Duke of Yunzhong know that Madam Yu and you have such a good relationship?"
Yu Yanluo's heart skipped a beat, and she naturally understood the other party's subtext. She said calmly, "This was something that the Duke and I discussed together at the time, and everything was done with the overall situation in mind."
Seeing that Yan Xuehen seemed to still have questions, Zu An was worried that the fake Duke's affair would be exposed, so he hurriedly said, "Master Yan, your junior brother's body is still preserved. You can go and examine it yourself. With your cultivation, you should be able to tell who killed him."
"Hmph, I will naturally investigate," Yan Xuehen sneered. "Just now you were cursing me as an old Taoist nun, but now I can't accept the title of 'senior'."
Zu An immediately said seriously, "Senior is so elegant and beautiful. If we were to stand side by side on the street, I would be too young to be your older sister. What scoundrel would call you an old nun?"
Yu Yanluo: "..."
Cloud Moon: "..."
Yan Xuehen was also somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, and simply turned and left: "How could Chu Yan fall in love with a shameless scoundrel like you!"
Zu An hurriedly waved to her retreating figure: "Take care, Master Sister. When you get back, tell our Chu Yan that I will find a chance to visit her as soon as possible."
Yan Xuehen stumbled and almost fell from the sky.
At first, the old Taoist nun became the Abbot of Yan Temple, and now she's become Master Sister?
How can this guy be so shameless!
Fearing she might hear even more outrageous names if she stayed, she left without looking back.
Seeing that she had really left, Zuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure exerted by a Grandmaster was indeed extraordinary.
With such an aloof master around, things are going to get a bit complicated for me and Chu Yan in the future...
At this moment, Yun Jianyue, who was not far away, beckoned to him with her finger: "Aunt, come with me, I have something to say to you."
Zu An gave Yu Yanluo a reassuring look, then hurriedly walked to the side with Yun Jianyue.
From what had just happened, Yu Yanluo naturally understood that the two were enemies, not friends, and their relationship seemed to be even better than that of ordinary friends.
I heard that Yun Jianyue was injured by the emperor during her assassination attempt in the palace. Was the Purple Frost Divine Milk that Zu An risked his life to obtain prepared for her?
Thinking of this, she felt a little uncomfortable. The servants who came to clean up the broken walls and ruins saw her frosty face and assumed that she was angry because the room had collapsed. None of them dared to make a sound, for fear of offending her.
