Zuan smiled slightly: "It's alright, everyone has moments of blindness."
Sun Xun: "..."
You're really good at comforting people!
Anger points from Sun Xun: +366 +366 +366...
Back at the table, Zu An noticed that as the disciples of Li Hen Tian gradually returned, they had clearly gained nothing, and their faces were grim.
Seeing that he returned empty-handed, those people visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"That assassin is really something, managing to escape from our encirclement of so many people," Zhao Xiaodie couldn't help but exclaim. "Maybe there was an inside man who deliberately helped him escape."
After saying that, he deliberately gave Zu'an a look.
She said that just to shift the blame. After all, so many people from Lihentian went out in a big way, only to return empty-handed. They were really embarrassed. They never expected that they would guess the truth by accident.
On the contrary, the King of Yan did not take it seriously: "These petty thieves are not worth mentioning. Let's not disturb everyone's enjoyment."
Seeing that the host didn't mind, the atmosphere at the table quickly returned to normal.
Zuan casually mentioned, "While we were investigating the assassin, we encountered an old man from your household. He was clearly a master of spiritual power. Your Highness's household is truly full of talented people."
"You must be referring to Mr. Huo. He's from the Southern Frontier and is indeed skilled in this area," the Prince of Yan said with some pride, clearly considering it a great honor to have so many talented individuals under his command.
At this moment, Guan Chouhai spoke up: "Since that Mr. Huo is skilled in mental attacks, the assassin was able to escape. Obviously, he is either also a practitioner of this art or has a corresponding defensive artifact. Your Highness can start by investigating from this angle."
The Prince of Yan was overjoyed: "Thank you for the reminder, Master Guan!"
The atmosphere became cheerful and harmonious. The disciples of Lihentian seemed to have forgotten their earlier unpleasantness and started chatting about the recent sect competition.
Zu An recalled that he had just heard Zhi Yin mention it, so he turned to look at Chu Chu Yan beside him and asked, "What's this sect competition they're talking about?"
The person opposite, waiting for someone, sneered inwardly. This kid is clever enough to know that we won't answer him if he asks us. However, he still made a mistake by asking Miss Chu. Everyone knows that Chu Chuyan is unusually cold and keeps people at arm's length.
Even someone as outstanding as myself could only leave disappointed every time I tried to approach her with kind words. How could this kid be so rude as to ask her directly?
Miss Chu would never pay him any attention.
However, his eyes immediately widened because he saw that Chu Chuyan actually smiled at that kid.
Why? She's never even smiled at me!
