While he was trying to deceive her, he was secretly thinking of a way to escape. The other party was obviously up to no good. If a real conflict broke out, with her Grandmaster cultivation, it would be difficult for his side to win.
Yan Xuehen: "..."
"Hmph, if I remember correctly, you seemed to have insulted me something last time," Yan Xuehen sneered. For some reason, she would completely disregard other people's praise of her, but this guy's words made her feel somewhat pleased.
Of course, she wasn't stupid, and she certainly wouldn't be fooled by a few flattering words.
"That's absolutely impossible. My sister is so ethereal and otherworldly, what bastard would have the heart to scold her?" Zu An said seriously.
Yan Xuehen said expressionlessly, "Do you have the guts to say that in front of that woman, Yun Jianyue?"
Zuan's breath hitched, realizing he'd accidentally cursed the cult leader's sister.
Yan Xuehen snorted coldly: "So you managed to fool this Medusa next to you with your glib tongue?"
Yu Yanluo said with dissatisfaction, "Please, Abbot Yan, show some self-respect."
Yan Xuehen ignored her and instead looked directly at Zu An: "I said back then that you were not a good match for Chu Yan, and today I see that it is true. As an official of the court, you actually coveted beauty, privately rescued a criminal wanted by the court, and colluded with the demon race. Once this crime is proven, how can you have a place to stand in the world? How could Chu Yan have fallen for such a lecherous person as you?"
Zu An also dropped his playful grin: "Master Yan, I thought that as a grandmaster, you would have extraordinary knowledge, but I didn't expect you to be just like those ordinary people."
"Are you lecturing me?" Yan Xuehen's eyes turned cold.
“I was just reasoning with the abbot,” Zu’an replied. “There are good people and bad people among the human race; similarly, there are good and bad among the demon race. Yu Yanluo has been in Cloud City for so many years, has she ever done anything to harm humans? On the contrary, she has helped countless poor people.”
"Why does the abbot not wield his sword to eliminate those unscrupulous and powerful people who prey on the common people, but instead come to deal with her who is kind to others? What kind of cultivation is this?"
Denying Yu Yanluo's identity in front of Yan Xuehen was pointless; they could only approach it from other angles.
Yan Xuehen raised her eyebrows and scolded, "What does this brat know? You didn't experience the war between humans and demons, so naturally you don't know how dangerous the demons are. We, Baiyujing, take it as our duty to protect humans, so how could we let your words corrupt our Dao heart?"
“Alright, since you’re here to protect humanity,” Zuan casually pointed at Yu Yanluo, “her father is human, and she has half-human blood, so why don’t you protect her?”
“She grew up in the human world and received a human education. Look at her from head to toe now, does she look more like a human or a demon?”
Yan Xuehen frowned: "You've cultivated to such a level, yet you're still so obsessed with appearances? Demons often rely on bloodline inheritance for power. When her bloodline awakens one day, her demonic nature will naturally dominate her body."
Zuan replied, "It's true that the demon race relies on bloodline inheritance, but the human race also relies on knowledge inheritance. Yu Yanluo has received so many years of human inheritance and education, so is she really inferior to the demon race's bloodline? If that's the case, how could the demon race have lost to the human race back then?"
"That's just sophistry!" A hint of displeasure flashed across Yan Xuehen's face: "All this talk is just because you're lusting after her beauty. If she weren't so pretty, why would you have taken such a big risk to save her?"
Even Yu Yanluo looked at Zu An curiously, wanting to see how he would answer.
