Bi Linglong: "???"
She considered countless possibilities, suspecting that some royal remnants wanted to use this to smear Zu'an, or that it was done by people from Youyinglou or Xiaoyaolou. She never expected that these stories actually originated from the academy.
You have to understand that the academy is Azu's territory, and almost everyone there respects him. They would never do such a thing.
“I also thought the investigation was wrong, but after arresting a few booksellers, we found that the story's blueprint came from the academy. They all thought it was an exclusive inside story, so they worked overtime to produce it and put it on the market,” Zhang Zitong explained.
"Can you find out who in the academy was in contact with them?" Bi Linglong hurriedly asked.
“That person is extremely mysterious and has never shown himself. The booksellers couldn’t see him at all. Judging from their descriptions, that person’s cultivation level is very high.” Zhang Zitong also had a strange expression, obviously thinking of something.
Bi Linglong naturally understood her meaning. The academy was Azu's territory, so it was impossible for anyone to deliberately harm Azu.
So, who was the mastermind behind this—Ji Xiaoxi or Xie Daoyun...?
Ji Xiaoxi definitely couldn't do that. Although the two hadn't met many times, that naive girl wouldn't do such a thing.
His father does have the ability, but I've heard he's a doting father, so he might not be willing to help his daughter get involved in this mess.
The most likely candidate is Xie Daoyun...
But why would he do such a thing?
Since they returned from ancient times, Xie Daoyun has clearly gotten together with Azu. Could it be that she has become jealous and lost her mind after discovering the relationship between Yan Xuehen, Yun Jianyue and Azu?
Thinking of how jealous the other party was, Bi Linglong couldn't help but feel a little wary. This time it was Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue, but who knew if it would be her turn next time?
After thinking it over carefully for a while, she still rejected this guess. Xie Daoyun had the experience of being a saintess of the demon race in ancient times, leading the entire demon race to fight against extraterrestrial demons. It was impossible for her to be so impulsive and unwise.
But if it wasn't her, could it have been Ah Zu herself who spread it?
Zhang Zitong tentatively asked, "Does Your Majesty think what's written in those storybooks is true or false?"
Bi Linglong snorted coldly: "Of course it's true."
Zhang Zitong was somewhat puzzled: "But it's really hard to imagine that Abbot Yan and Sect Leader Yun would act like the Regent, after all, their disciples..."
"That guy is a walking peach blossom spirit, what woman in the world can resist him?" Bi Linglong said with some annoyance. That guy has gotten her sisters more and more numerous, and she doesn't know how to deal with herself anymore.
What woman in the world wouldn't want to exclusively enjoy her lover's love?
Zhang Zitong's face flushed, and she shrank back a little guiltily. The Regent was indeed very handsome...
"That guy is always flirting with other women, and Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue can't stand his advances." Bi Linglong felt increasingly choked up as she spoke.
A hint of resentment flashed in Zhang Zitong's eyes. The Regent was clearly a very upright gentleman, and he had never flirted with or tried to seduce me, even when I had given such obvious hints.
Of course, she would never dare to say these things to Bi Linglong.
"Should this matter still be investigated?" Seeing that the Empress seemed angry with the Regent, she tried to divert his attention.
"Let's not investigate anymore. He's not even worried about it, so why should we worry about him?" Bi Linglong turned around and went back to her palace. She wasn't sure if Zu An had spread the rumors himself, and she didn't want the investigation to end up on him, which would be awkward.
I originally wanted to ask the other party for verification, but I was feeling a bit annoyed at the moment, so I simply gave up the idea.
...
As a result, the story circulated again before the next day.
This time it's even more intense and explosive, detailing in detail why Yan Xuehen would seduce her disciple's man.
It turns out that she had been fighting with Yun Jianyue her whole life, and she was unwilling to admit defeat in any aspect.
However, with his own disciple's fate unknown, while the other party's disciple had been by the regent's side for a long time, the regent's feelings for both sides would inevitably fluctuate.
Furthermore, after accidentally discovering that Yun Jianyue was having an affair with the Regent, she felt increasingly threatened.
Firstly, for the sake of her apprentice's happiness, and secondly, unwilling to admit that her charm was inferior to that of her mortal enemy, she also began to seduce the regent.
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
Previously, people did not understand why the "highly respected" Abbot Yan would do such a thing, but after this explanation, although it is still a bit outrageous, upon careful consideration, it is not impossible.
No wonder the other day Master Yan and Master Yun fought so fiercely; it turns out they were chasing after a man.
Meanwhile, Yun Jianyue on Jade Spring Mountain was furious when she saw this story: "Nonsense! She was the one who hooked up with Zu An first, how did it become that I was with Zu An and she had a competitive mentality?"
With a casual slap, the storybook and the table turned to dust.
Qiu Honglei, who was standing to the side, swallowed hard and whispered, "Maybe you really are ahead of her, Master."
"How could that be! It was definitely Ice Stone Woman who hooked up with Zaun first. The more I recall the past, the more certain I am of this." Yun Jianyue paced around the room in anger. "If I find out who wrote this story, I'll tear it to shreds!"
Pei Mianman, on the other side, shrank her neck, coughed lightly, and found an excuse to leave.
"Alright, remember to find out what the Ice Stone Maiden's reaction is for me." Yun Jianyue was still counting on her to go and gather information; the other party was her younger sister, and she could trust her because of their blood relation.
Pei Mianman has a good relationship with Chu Chuyan and Yan Xuehen, and is likely to gain their trust.
When Pei Mianman left her room, her face fell.
