After her anger subsided, Pei Mianman quickly calmed down.
Chu Yan had so earnestly entrusted her with this task, and she didn't want to betray that trust.
He began to ponder how to resolve this matter while in his room.
Unlike those involved, she, as an observer, astutely grasped the key points of the whole matter.
Qiu Honglei and Chu Chuyan have actually accepted their respective masters' situation in private. Although Yun Jianyue will also lash out at Yan Xuehen if she knows the truth, everything should be within a controllable range.
The only thing to worry about now is public opinion.
Yan Xuehen's usual persona is too aloof and upright. If exposed, she will be condemned by everyone. Moreover, given her personality, she may choose to atone with her death.
In that case, the solution must start with public opinion.
Suddenly, an idea struck her: since she would be condemned by everyone here, why not go somewhere else?
Let Azu take Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue to the demon realm. In a foreign land, many people behave much more boldly and unrestrainedly than they do in China. Perhaps Yan Xuehen will be less restrained then.
It just so happens that Azu has been separated from the Little Demon Queen, Yu Yanluo, Xue'er, and the others for a long time...
Thinking of this, she felt a pang of sadness. It was one thing to help another woman pursue her own man, since it was at Chu Yan's request.
But to do this, she would push her own man to another woman... unlike Chu Yan, she doesn't have a self-inflicted cuckoldry syndrome.
He immediately abandoned the idea of going to the demon race.
Since we have no choice but to stay here, we'll have to try that method...
Several days passed in this way. Zu An was meditating in his room when Yan Xuehen suddenly rushed to his door in a panic.
"What happened?" Zuan asked, puzzled. He rarely saw such an expression on her face.
Yan Xuehen hurriedly closed the door, took out a small booklet from her bosom, and handed it to him: "Look what this is!"
Zuan took the booklet with a puzzled look and found that it was a popular storybook on the market, titled "The Fairy Falls to Earth - The Regent's Hunt - The Master and Disciple of the Jade Capital - Concluding Chapter".
The key point is that the cover also features two aloof women. Although their appearances are not similar, their temperament is captured very accurately, making people immediately think of Yan Xuehen and Chu Chuyan.
Opening the contents confirmed his suspicions. It described how he first pursued Chu Chuyan, the Holy Maiden of Baiyujing, and then, because Chu Chuyan was not by his side, he coincidentally got together with Yan Xuehen.
Zu An's eyebrows twitched as he read this. He had to admit that the author of this story was truly excellent; the way he teased and manipulated people's psychology was masterful.
The key point is that although much of the content is based on speculation, it is also vaguely close to the truth.
What a talent!
However, seeing Yan Xuehen's flustered appearance, he still comforted her, "Don't worry, there are many such rumors circulating in the market. Not only yours, but even the Empress Dowager has them. No one will really believe them."
“This time is different!” A blush rose to Yan Xuehen’s face. “There have been stories about the two of us before, but they were all obviously fake, and no one would believe them. But this time is different…”
As she spoke, she snatched the storybook from his hand and kept flipping through certain pages, pointing them out to him: "Here, here, and here... it's written almost exactly like our actual situation."
Zu An then took the book and carefully scanned it with his divine sense, only to discover that the book was indeed quite remarkable.
It's almost 30% real and 70% fake. Others might not realize it, but the people involved find it extremely familiar.
"It's probably just guessing, maybe a few of them just happened to be right. But most of it is still just nonsense," Zuan comforted him.
"No, I think it was someone close to us who wrote this, maybe even someone we know very well." Yan Xuehen said through gritted teeth, "Maybe it's a witch..."
Before she could finish speaking, the door was slammed open.
Suddenly, Yun Jianyue burst in, carrying a book: "Grandpa..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Yan Xuehen in the room and immediately stopped talking, instead asking, "Ice Stone Maiden, what are you doing here?"
Yan Xuehen keenly noticed the other person calling out "A-Zu," and thought to herself that the two of them were indeed very close in private. She couldn't help but say coldly, "Why can't I be here? And what are you doing here?"
Yun Jianyue subconsciously hid the booklet behind her back: "Hmph, do I need to explain to you why I'm here?"
However, her actions couldn't escape the notice of her mortal enemy, and Yan Xuehen was startled: "Could it be that you are also...?"
Realizing he was inappropriate halfway through his sentence, he immediately stopped talking.
Yun Jianyue also noticed the storybook in Zu An's hand at this moment, and was also somewhat shocked: "You were also made up?"
She immediately snatched the storybook from Zu An's hand, and Yan Xuehen was just as quick, snatching it from behind her.
However, upon seeing the title, I immediately couldn't hold back: "The Fall of the Witch - The Regent's Hunt - The Master and Disciple of Yan Chou Chi - Concluding Chapter"
Yun Jianyue raised her eyebrows when she saw the title of another book, but she was more curious about the contents of the storybook in Zu An's hand. She didn't bother to argue with her and quickly started flipping through it.
Yan Xuehen felt the same way, and soon the two women's expressions became extremely strange.
Yun Jianyue snorted coldly: "You ice-cold woman, I never thought you were so fiery on the surface but in private."
Yan Xuehen felt a pang of embarrassment and shame, but she showed no sign of it on her face: "Hehe, the description of you in this book is even more fascinating. Is it all true?"
Yun Jianyue was speechless. How could she admit her own affair before finding concrete evidence against the other party?
