Hearing her question, Yan Xuehen was terrified. She had fought with Yun Jianyue her whole life. If Yun Jianyue found out that she had stolen her disciple's man, being disgraced would be the least of her worries.
At this moment, Zu An's calm voice rang out: "I just took Master Yan's soul to the Netherworld to visit Chu Yan."
"Out-of-body experience?" Recalling Yan Xuehen's condition just now, Pei Mianman suddenly realized.
"Can the souls of the living enter the underworld?" Yun Jianyue asked in utter astonishment.
“Normally it wouldn’t be possible, but I can manage to bring people in now, though only souls.” Zuan was somewhat smug, after all, he was probably the first person in human history to be able to do this.
"That's great! I'll go to the Yellow Springs Road to see those spider lilies then." Pei Mianman was overjoyed. Her attempt to attract butterflies to the other shore hadn't made much progress, and she thought that seeing the spider lilies in person might be more rewarding.
She looked at Yan Xuehen beside her: "Master Yan, do you see those spider lilies? Aren't they beautiful?"
After a short break, Yan Xuehen finally calmed down a bit: "It's very beautiful and impressive."
Pei Mianman's eyes sparkled as she imagined herself and her lover strolling among the spider lilies.
Yun Jianyue wasn't so easily fooled, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two: "Is it really that simple?"
Zu An laughed and said, "What else could it be?"
Yun Jianyue smiled enigmatically: "As far as I know, any contact in a soul state is extremely sensitive. Were you rude to the Ice Stone Woman?"
Before Zu'an could answer, Yan Xuehen snorted coldly, "What do you mean, you witch?"
Her heart didn't show such righteous indignation, but she knew that the two were mortal enemies. If she let the other party talk without fighting back, it would be easier for them to find out that something was wrong.
Zuan secretly gave her a thumbs up, never expecting that the usually cold and aloof Yan Xuehen would be an Oscar-worthy actress when she acted.
Are women born with the ability to act?
Yun Jianyue scoffed, "What else could it mean? I don't believe that he didn't hug and cuddle you the whole way when he was taking you to the underworld."
Yan Xuehen said with a cold face, "Of course there are, but we are upright and honest, and we are not afraid to talk about it."
Because this kind of thing can't be hidden, the others will find out once they go to the Netherworld with Zu'an. If they lie now, it will only make things worse later.
At the same time, I lamented in my heart, "Dao Ancestor, please forgive me..."
Since I met Zuan, I've been lying more and more often.
Zu'an, worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it, helped explain: "To get to the Netherworld, it is indeed necessary to keep her within three feet of me, and some physical contact is inevitable. However, Abbot Yan is Chu Yan's master, so how could I be rude to her when I ask her questions?"
One sentence made all three women present blush.
Yan Xuehen recalled the way the other party had been so rude and unrestrained on her body just now.
Yun Jianyue was also a little guilty. She was Qiu Honglei's master, so wasn't this kid being rude?
Hmph, no way. I have to make sure the Ice Stone Woman has a similar experience before our relationship is exposed, or she'll laugh me to death.
Pei Mianman had a strange expression, glancing at Zu An one moment and Yan Xuehen the next.
She knew the inside story and quietly watched the two perform.
It wasn't surprising at all that Azu was such a good actress. On the contrary, it was Yan Xuehen, who usually seemed so upright and harmless, who was such a perfect actress.
Yan Xuehen felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment and quickly said, "Thank you for taking me to see Chu Yan just now, Regent. I should go back to my seclusion now and will not bother you any longer."
After saying that, he turned to leave, but Zu An was anxious because he couldn't bear to see him leave so soon.
Yun Jianyue reacted even faster than him: "Ice Stone Girl, we're all old acquaintances. What's the point of leaving so soon after we met? Why don't you stay and play for a few more days?"
Yan Xuehen's face flushed, thinking that it would be better to stay and let that guy play with her for a few more days.
However, he refused to admit defeat verbally: "What's there to say to you? Are you going to stay and fight?"
"That's right, my cultivation has improved a lot recently, and I really want to fight you. Are you scared?" Yun Jianyue sneered repeatedly, glancing at her sideways.
Even though she knew the other party was using a provocation tactic, Yan Xuehen still couldn't stand it: "Ha, let's fight then, who's afraid of who!"
"Then let's do it now." Yun Jianyue said, already rolling up her sleeves.
Pei Mianman, who was standing next to her, secretly laughed. A demonic sect leader and a righteous sect leader fought like country girls.
Yan Xuehen's expression changed slightly: "Not now. My soul just left my body and was affected by the death energy of the Netherworld. I need some time to recover."
Having just gone through that ordeal, my legs are still weak, so I definitely wouldn't be a match for the demoness in a fight.
"Very well, I won't take advantage of you. I'll wait here for a few days until you've recovered before we compete again," Yun Jianyue said proudly.
Zu'an also spoke up at this moment, saying, "Master Yan, you can stay here for a few more days. There are still many issues regarding Chu Yan and the True God that I would like to discuss with you."
Yan Xuehen inwardly spat, "Is this what you want to discuss?"
Of course, she was also a little reluctant to leave, but with the excuse of competing with Yun Jianyue, she stayed.
Zuan then settled her in the room next door.
This was the former residence of the old chief priest, who held a highly respected position. The entire academy showed him great respect, and there were no other residences here besides his.
