Zu An's heart skipped a beat, only then remembering that Jian Taiding was her junior brother and an important figure in Baiyujing. The relationship between the two families was naturally extraordinary. He quickly laughed it off, saying, "Too many things have happened recently, I'm afraid it might affect the relationship between our two families."
"Are you nervous?" Yan Xuehen asked suspiciously, clearly the other person's physical changes had not escaped her notice.
Zu An thought to himself that this woman was really sensitive. If any man married her in the future, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything secretly. He reacted quickly and immediately said, "Today, he openly clashed with the court, and Xu Yu even produced an imperial edict, proving that the emperor was already prepared to deal with both sides. How could I not be nervous?"
Yan Xuehen nodded, clearly agreeing with his explanation.
However, she did not comment on this, clearly wanting to maintain Bai Yujing's detachment and not wanting to get involved in the court's struggles.
The two continued walking inside. Because of what had just happened, Yan Xuehen felt a little strange that the other person was walking behind her, so she waited until he passed by before she started walking.
The two walked side by side in the cell. Zuan was a little dazed for a moment. In the past, they had always been on opposing sides. He never expected that they could walk together so closely.
If this Ice Stone Woman knew her true identity, wouldn't she be so enraged that she tore me apart?
Soon the two arrived at the room where Yu Yanluo was being held. Zu An suddenly realized that if the other party saw him and revealed any flaws, it would be all over if Yan Xuehen discovered it.
Someone who can reach the Grandmaster level can't just be a pretty face, right?
However, having learned his lesson earlier, he deliberately controlled his heartbeat so that Yan Xuehen wouldn't notice.
At this moment, Yu Yanluo saw the two of them. Her expression showed a moment of surprise. Clearly, no matter how she thought about it, she did not expect that the two of them would be walking together.
However, she reacted quickly, bowing slightly to the two of them: "Master Yan, Yanyou, I didn't expect you two to see me in such a disheveled state."
Yan Xuehen was somewhat surprised: "I really admire Madam Yu's composure. Even in dire straits, she did not show the slightest sign of panic."
“Life and death are predestined,” Yu Yanluo smiled faintly, “besides, I believe someone can clear my name.”
Yan Xuehen snorted: "Madam, you shouldn't have too much hope for the Emperor. Zhao Hao did like you back then, but the imperial family is the most ruthless. This time, it's obviously his plan to deal with you. If you hope he can clear your name, you'll probably be disappointed."
Yu Yanluo smiled but didn't speak. She wasn't referring to the emperor, of course, but rather...
He glanced at Zuan subconsciously, his eyes softening slightly.
With such keen perception, Yan Xuehen was puzzled. According to previous intelligence, the two were only husband and wife in name. How come Yu Yanluo seemed to have a lot of feelings for Jian Yanyou now? Moreover, Jian Yanyou almost lost his temper for the sake of his lover just now.
Unfortunately, she was only puzzled, assuming that their feelings for each other had warmed up after going through so much hardship together recently.
After all, it's hard to imagine that someone could actually impersonate another person so perfectly that even a grandmaster like her couldn't see through the deception.
She wasn't interested in their relationship, as long as it didn't involve Zuan.
Hmph, I saw that Yu Yanluo and that kid Zuan seemed to have a pretty close relationship before, and I felt a little sorry for my disciple at the time.
Chu Yan is a devoted person, and she hasn't missed that boy at all these days in Baiyujing. But he's been flirting with other women outside, showing no respect for male virtues whatsoever.
When I get back, I must tell Chu Yan what happened here. That kid Zu An was serving Yu Yanluo so well, but she fell for another man.
It's not worth letting someone like that jeopardize your cultivation path.
Just thinking about the scene every time she saw that guy, and his lazy appearance, made Yan Xuehen feel a little angry.
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +55 +55 +55...
Zuan, standing to the side, couldn't help but glance at the woman beside him who looked like an ice fairy. On the surface, she appeared to be an ethereal and otherworldly master, but in her heart, she was angry.
This woman isn't as nonchalant as she appears; on the contrary, she's quite vengeful.
If Yan Xuehen knew that the man beside her had seen through her, she would probably immediately kill him to silence him.
She gathered her thoughts and looked at Yu Yanluo: "I came here today to verify something."
Zu An coughed lightly and said from the side, "We were only able to get in here thanks to Abbot Yan's help..."
He briefly recounted what had just happened, mainly because he didn't want Yu Yanluo to offend Yan Xuehen without her knowledge. At this point, they couldn't afford to have another Grandmaster as an enemy.
Yu Yanluo understood and gave Yan Xuehen a kind smile: "Master Yan, please feel free to ask whatever you wish to ask."
Yan Xuehen didn't shy away from the fact that Zu An was right next to her and said directly, "After we separated, I examined my junior brother's body, and he did indeed die from the methods of the parasitic bee clan. I thought it had nothing to do with you anymore, but I just heard that you are Medusa. So, have you been secretly colluding with Uncle Ming to seek benefits for the demon race?"
Her voice turned cold as she spoke, and a glint of light appeared in her eyes.
Zuan was taken aback, wondering if this was also a kind of pupil technique.
Yu Yanluo shook her head: "I didn't know that Uncle Ming was disguised by parasitic bees before, so how could I have colluded with him? I have never done anything to harm the human race over the years. If the Abbot doesn't believe me, he can check at any time."
“No need,” Yan Xuehen’s eyes returned to normal, then she looked at Zu An beside her, “I’ve already asked all my questions, hurry up and ask whatever you want.”
