"Master...Master!" Chu Chuyan was startled. After all, gossiping about her master behind his back was, strictly speaking, considered "outrageous."
Yan Xuehen said coldly, "You've been away from your seat for too long, which is impolite to others. Go back now."
Chu Chuyan wondered when her master had ever cared about what others thought, but feeling guilty, she dared not contradict him: "Yes~"
After saying that, he winked at Zu'an, expressing his helplessness, and then fled as if escaping.
After she left, only Zu'an and Yan Xuehen remained, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Fortunately, Zu An was thick-skinned and moved closer. Before he could even speak, Yan Xuehen seemed to have been burned and immediately took a few steps back: "Don't come near me!"
Zuan looked helpless: "Am I that scary in your eyes?"
Some "terrifying" images flashed through Yan Xuehen's mind, and she turned her face away, her whole body trembling as if the plum blossoms on the tree were also shivering.
Zu An sighed: "Last time you left without saying goodbye, I was worried that something had happened to you. I was only relieved to hear from Chu Yan that you had returned to Baiyujing."
“What’s past is past,” Yan Xuehen interrupted him directly. “I came here to remind you to stay away from Chu Yan. She has a major battle coming up, and she needs to keep her mind calm in order to maximize her strength. Her trip to the capital to see you a while ago made her mind unsettled. In that state, she would most likely lose the competition. She has finally managed to get back to peace these days, and then you come again. If you really care about her, then don’t bother her during this time.”
Zuan complained, "Your 'Supreme Forgetfulness Chapter' is such a troublesome technique, with a whole host of flaws."
"Shut up!" Yan Xuehen glared at him. "Don't you dare insult our sect's techniques."
“Alright, alright, I misspoke,” Zu’an knew the sacredness of the “Supreme Forgetfulness Chapter” among the people of Baiyujing. He then changed the subject and moved closer to her. “Chu Yan has to compete and can’t be disturbed. Since you haven’t been competing recently, it shouldn’t be a problem for me to find you, right?”
"No!" Yan Xuehen exclaimed instantly.
"Why not?" Zu An looked at her leisurely, finding it quite interesting to see the usually icy beauty in such a flustered state.
"There's no reason why, it's just no way," Yan Xuehen turned to leave, but stopped after taking two steps. "I've forgotten what happened in the past, nothing happened. I don't want to hurt anyone, especially Chu Yan."
Zuan grabbed her sleeve: "But you hurt me like this."
"I hurt you?" Yan Xuehen laughed angrily. Who hurt whom here? "Are you this shameless in front of Chu Yan too?"
Zuan sighed: "You haven't seen my true shamelessness yet."
Yan Xuehen's heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself, "Wasn't you shameless enough when you were ramming into me back then?"
Of course, she would never dare to say this aloud, and quickly composed herself: "Oh, I wonder what your truly shameless side is like?"
Zu An cleared his throat and looked at her with a strange expression: "Sister Yan, you don't want Chu Yan to know about our affair, do you?"
Yan Xuehen was taken aback at first, then a blush visibly rose from her neck. As clever as she was, how could she not understand the subtext of those words?
What followed was an astonishing surge of anger, Yan Xuehen's anger value increased by 499...
Seeing that she was about to explode, Zu'an hurriedly smiled and apologized: "Sister Yan, just kidding, just kidding, how could I be that kind of person?"
Having watched too many Japanese dramas in their past lives, male netizens from all walks of life feel that this sentence structure has a great deal of magic. They usually just talk about it online, not knowing what it would feel like to use it in real life.
Seeing the sincerity in his tone, Yan Xuehen's expression softened slightly: "That's very good, otherwise Chu Yan would have truly entrusted herself to the wrong person."
Zu An couldn't help but take a closer look at her exquisite face. Her skin was truly delicate and translucent, making him want to kiss her. Of course, he knew that he could only dream about it: "Sister Yan, you seem to have lost a lot of weight recently."
Yan Xuehen almost rolled her eyes, thinking that after what happened, she was suffering mentally every day, how could she not lose weight: "If you could stay away from me and treat me with the same respect that Chu Yan shows me, I wouldn't lose weight."
"Is this really necessary? We can each do our own thing without conflict," Zuan said, troubled.
Yan Xuehen's eyes were cold: "Forget about it."
After all, she was a person of exceptional talent, and as the head of a temple, she was also extremely determined, so she would not be easily bound by romantic feelings.
After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Zu An's reply.
Just as Zu An was about to say something, he suddenly saw Sun Xun walking over from not far away and immediately shut his mouth.
Sun Xun glanced at Yan Xuehen's departing figure with some surprise; clearly, her beauty could stir the heart of any man.
It took him a while to come to his senses: "Lord Zu, have you found the assassin?"
Zuan shrugged: "Looks like I'm out of luck today, I didn't find it."
Sun Xun said expressionlessly, "In that case, please return to your seat, Lord Zu. It's really not appropriate for you to wander around the host's residence like this."
"Alright." Zu An has already rescued Zhang Zitong, so there's no need for him to linger.
On the way back, Sun Xun said with a forced smile, "Lord Zu is truly a man of few words. I misjudged him before."
It's clear that Zu An was a completely different person at the Prince of Yan's residence compared to his journey there. He was too careless before and didn't give the Prince of Yan the correct information, which led to his passive situation at the banquet. The Prince will inevitably punish him in the future.
