Furthermore, the Jian and Yu families are not to be underestimated, and he would have a hard time controlling the consequences if a real conflict broke out.
In a flash, he understood the implications of everything. He smiled slightly and said, "Master Yan is compassionate and a role model for us all. How could I, an official, disregard the safety of the people and recklessly wage war? However, today's events were not caused by me, and it is no use for me to think this way alone."
Zuan secretly thought, "This old fox has thrown a difficult problem at me right away, making it seem like I'm disregarding the lives of the people if I insist on continuing."
At this moment, Yan Xuehen's gaze fell on him: "What does the Duke think?"
Now that things have come to this, Zu'an knows that a direct confrontation is impossible. Not to mention the imperial edict, he can't even handle Yan Xuehen.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I am not an unreasonable person, but what happened today is too bizarre. Everything is only Lord Xu's side of the story. I must be allowed to see my wife and know the truth."
If he didn't make good use of Yan Xuehen under these circumstances, he wouldn't be himself.
Xu Yu frowned immediately. He naturally did not want Jian Yanyou and Yu Yanluo to meet, and his first reaction was to reject the idea.
Unexpectedly, Yan Xuehen also spoke up: "That's right, I also have some things I'd like to verify with Madam Yu, so why don't you come in with me?"
Xu Yu's breath hitched, and a fire burned in his heart.
Previously, Yan Xuehen had at least discussed it with him on the surface, but now she made the decision for him without even asking him.
Are grandmasters allowed to do whatever they want?
I have an imperial edict in my hands!
Unfortunately, he could only complain to himself, as he didn't want to offend a Grandmaster at this crucial moment: "It's perfectly fine for the two of you to visit Yu Yanluo, but you can't bring any attendants."
He was also afraid that Jian Yanyou would take this opportunity to snatch people away from inside. If he didn't bring his subordinates, it would be easier to control him alone.
Although Jian Yanyou's cultivation level was very high, he was still injured.
Zu An naturally had no objections, and then walked inside with Yan Xuehen.
Because Yan Xuehen didn't want to be monitored by others, Xu Yu and the others had no choice but to wait outside.
Seeing that no one was around, Zu An stared at the white-clad figure in front of him and wondered how old this woman was. In terms of seniority and prestige, she was much higher than Yu Yanluo. Surely she couldn't be eight centuries old?
"What are you looking at?" Yan Xuehen suddenly turned around and stared at him coldly.
Clearly, the Grandmaster's senses were extremely sharp, as if he had eyes in the back of his head.
Zuan said, "I'm mainly curious why the abbot helped me just now."
He had already figured it out; although Yan Xuehen seemed neutral in what had just happened, she was actually slightly biased towards him.
Yan Xuehen gave him a strange look: "Why would you ask such a question? Bai Yujing and the Jian family have been cooperating for so many years, who else would I help if not you?"
