As Jiang Luofu spoke, she kept her eyes on him. Seeing that he was only initially surprised, but his expression calmed down afterward, she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "You don't seem worried or afraid at all?"
"What's there to worry about or be afraid of? I've seen this kind of thing before." Zu An thought back to when Qiao Xueying was also an elf and Kong Nanwu was also a demon, so he was indeed used to it.
Jiang Luofu assumed he was referring to Yu Yanluo and didn't suspect anything. She continued, "My third senior brother chased after her all the way and finally managed to seriously injure her. But later, by chance, he learned that she had never harmed anyone and had even saved many people. Coupled with the feelings in his heart, he ultimately didn't kill her and let her go."
"After this battle, he began to doubt his own beliefs. The reason his sword was invincible was because of his unwavering conviction. Now, the principles he had always believed in for slaying demons and monsters had become flawed, and his sword was no longer sharp."
Zuan looked strange, thinking of the saying that circulated online in his previous life: "Women only affect the speed at which I draw my sword." He never thought that such a thing was really true in reality.
“If it were just this, it wouldn’t be so bad. With Third Senior Brother’s talent, he should be able to regain his composure with some time.” Jiang Luofu put down her teacup and sighed. “Unfortunately, something happened later…”
"Because of that injury, Pei Mianman's mother was unable to protect herself and was seriously injured by her enemies. Although her third senior brother arrived in time to save her, she was also poisoned and passed away not long after."
"The third senior brother felt guilty because he was the one who caused the other's death. Coupled with the double blow of losing his beloved, his mentality completely collapsed. He then fell into despair for many years, and it was rumored that he was dead until recently when he reappeared."
Zu'an hurriedly asked, "Who exactly killed Manman's mother?"
Jiang Luofu shook her head: "Those people are of unknown origin, and given how much time has passed, I don't know who they are."
Zaun fell into deep thought: was it the humans who were hunting her down, or the demons who wanted to deal with her?
The key question is: why did she marry Pei Shao, and did Pei Shao even know about her demonic origins...?
"Huh?" Zuan suddenly realized a problem. "Right, how long after she was injured did she give birth to Manman? It just doesn't seem to make sense."
Jiang Luofu replied, "She was injured before she was born. Not long after Manman was born, she was injured by her third senior brother."
Zuan was completely dumbfounded. If I remember correctly, he just said that Xiao Yao initially liked Manman's mother, but she had already given birth by then.
He actually likes married women, especially those with kids?
Xiao Yao, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, is actually this kind of person!
Despite the complaints, the problem still needs to be addressed: "But he clearly knew that Yu Yanluo was his fellow disciple, yet he still treated her so cruelly. Isn't he afraid that the regret of the past will happen again?"
Jiang Luofu also sighed: "What happened back then is his inner demon; he won't back down."
"Then what are you going to do? You can't just ignore your senior sister, can you?" Zu An thought to himself, "Does that old fox, the High Priest, not have any plans at all?"
Jiang Luofu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can help you, but I need you to give me something."
Zu An was shocked: "What's going on? She's your senior sister, not mine. How come saving her is my business?"
Jiang Luofu smiled slyly: "As you know, the age range of the disciples the master accepts is quite large, and there are several whose identities I don't even know, let alone have ever met. Yu Yanluo is one of them. Although we are from the same sect, we don't have any real feelings for each other."
"Speaking of which, our relationship is definitely not as close as yours. During my travels in Yunzhong County, I've heard quite a few rumors about you."
As she spoke, she was also surprised. Yu Yanluo had been famous for her beauty for many years, and even the emperor was her admirer, but she had never been seen to be close to anyone.
Although she always presents herself with a gentle smile, anyone with discerning eyes can see the distance between them.
Only Zuan seems to have a closer relationship with her than anyone else, and now there are rumors about the two of them circulating.
Although some people noticed that the relationship between the two seemed to have progressed further after the Duke of Yunzhong returned, for most ordinary people, there was nothing particularly sensational about matters between husband and wife.
On the contrary, third parties like Zuan attract more attention. Anything related to theft creates an extra sense of excitement.
Zu An was speechless. The disciples of the Chief Priest were all so abnormal. Even Jiang Luofu was so indifferent. No wonder Xiao Yao didn't care at all when he heard that Yu Yanluo was his junior sister.
What do you want?
Jiang Luofu gazed at her with her cold, beautiful eyes for a long time before finally parting her lips slightly: "The Phoenix Nirvana Sutra".
"What!" Even with his resolute will, Zu An's expression changed drastically at this moment.
Jiang Luofu sighed: "I know you are shocked right now. To be honest, I was asked by someone to get this copy of the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra from you."
"King Qi?" Zu An said in a deep voice.
“Princess Consort of Qi, but not much different from Prince Qi,” Jiang Luofu said. “They know about our connection in Mingyue City and want to use that connection to trick you into giving them the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra. I have been troubled by this matter.”
“After much thought, I really don’t want to resort to any means to deceive you, so I’ll tell you the truth. That way, no matter what the outcome, you won’t resent me too much in the future.”
Zuan couldn't help but laugh: "Principal, do you even know what the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra really means? How could you just give it away so casually?"
