Zu An's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm: "Why do you ask that?"
“I just feel that the relationship between you and Master Yun is much closer and more intimate than that of ordinary friends.” Pei Mianman naturally wouldn’t say that it was a guess that Chu Chuyan told her.
"After all, we've been comrades-in-arms who have shared life and death in several secret realms. It would be abnormal if we weren't familiar with each other." Zuan smiled. "Stop overthinking. Hurry up and try to comprehend the Other Shore Flower. See if you can resonate with the Other Shore Butterfly's essence within you."
At this moment, he felt completely numb. He had almost developed PTSD from the incidents involving Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue these past few days.
We need to find a way to resolve this, otherwise it will always be a major problem.
Seeing how casually he spoke, Pei Mianman wondered if Chu Yan and I were overthinking things.
Suppressing his doubts, he arrived at the Road to the Underworld, walked among the spider lilies, and observed those eerie flowers up close.
Zuan quietly left the place, allowing her to concentrate on her enlightenment without being disturbed.
He quickly arrived at the Bridge of Helplessness to keep Chu Yan company. After chatting for a while, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Chu Yan, did Manman say anything to you just now?"
"It was just a private conversation between best friends," Chu Chuyan blinked. "What, did you do something to offend me recently and are you feeling guilty?"
"Of course not..." Zu An chuckled awkwardly, already considering telling Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue the truth. He was about to have a nervous breakdown if things continued like this.
The only concern is that the same event would cause far more harm to Yan Xuehen than to Yun Jianyue.
Although Yun Jianyue will be very embarrassed and ashamed at that time, with her, a saintess from a prestigious family, standing in front of her, everyone will probably condemn Yan Xuehen, and perhaps even she will join in the condemnation. Yan Xuehen will definitely not be able to bear it then.
Sigh, this is the downside of casually creating a persona.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chu Chuyan didn't point it out either. She smiled slightly and started talking to him about other topics.
Time passed unnoticed. To avoid harming the two women from the deathly aura of the Netherworld, Zu An reluctantly bid farewell to Chu Chuyan and left the Netherworld with Yun Jianyue and Pei Mianman.
On the way, he asked curiously, "How was your experience today? Did you have any sudden insights?"
Yun Jianyue's face flushed. She had been thinking about Yan Xuehen from time to time and couldn't calm down. She could only answer vaguely, "I have a vague understanding, but I may need to observe it a few more times."
Zu An looked at Pei Mianman, who had just been thinking about what Chu Chuyan had asked her to do, and could only reply, "I'm about the same, I might need more time."
Zuan nodded and said, "It's alright. I'll bring you here a few more times before I leave, so you can gain something from it."
Upon hearing his words, the two women realized that he might be going to that dreamlike place at any moment, and they felt a little disappointed.
Yun Jianyue snorted: "Why are you making it sound like you're giving your last words? It's just a dreamlike place. I'd go with you even if it meant going through fire and water."
Pei Mianman glanced at her. Normally she wouldn't think much of it, but after Chu Yan's reminder, she couldn't help but think to herself that it really did sound like a lover's confession.
"It's too dangerous over there, and there's only one invitation, so you should focus on improving your strength. Maybe it can really help me in the future," Zuan said with a smile, trying to comfort him.
Yun Jianyue suddenly felt a little guilty. The other party was about to embark on an unknown and dangerous journey, but she was always thinking about confronting the Ice Stone Woman.
Well, as long as the Ice Stone Woman apologizes to me, I won't hold it against her.
Pei Mianman was also thinking that since Azu was leaving, she would definitely help him resolve these worries so that he wouldn't be preoccupied with them while on an adventure.
She was somewhat guilty about the matter that Chu Chuyan had entrusted to her, and she wasn't entirely confident about it.
But now that she has found a good reason, she immediately becomes very motivated.
When Zu'an brought the two women back to the top of Yuquan Mountain, their souls returned to their bodies, and when they opened their eyes, they found Yan Xuehen already standing in front of them.
"Ice Stone Woman, why are you staring at me like that?" Yun Jianyue felt a little uncomfortable.
Yan Xuehen smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just realized that I didn't know you very well before."
"How inexplicable." Yun Jianyue snorted lightly, turned around and left to find Qiu Honglei, to discuss with her disciple whether Yan Xuehen had noticed something.
Zu An was also somewhat surprised: "Master Yan seems a little different today."
"I just figured some things out and I'm in a better mood." Yan Xuehen didn't mention Yun Jianyue's matter, knowing that even if she did, the other party would never admit it.
Although Jing Teng explained that his sister had misunderstood, she was an exceptionally intelligent person.
After calming down in her room, she immediately realized that the other person's claim of a master and apprentice fighting over a man was definitely not referring to her.
Because then there would be no point in Jing Teng telling him this, as the other party clearly had his own motives.
Considering her relationship with Zu'an, Yan Xuehen astutely analyzed that the two sisters had probably discovered that Yun Jianyue and Zu'an were having an affair, so they deliberately staged a charade to get her to deal with Yun Jianyue.
But I like it!
You have to understand that during this period, she was overwhelmed by her relationship with Zuan. On the one hand, she really liked being with Zuan, but on the other hand, she was afraid of the consequences of exposing this relationship.
Despite her intelligence, she couldn't figure out how to resolve the situation, which almost drove her to the brink of madness.
But now that she knows Yun Jianyue is likely connected to Zu'an, she suddenly feels like she's finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
So even the demoness did it!
