"He really is the one who rescued Yu Yanluo, otherwise why would he be there!" Xu Yu immediately exclaimed. He wouldn't usually lose his composure like this, but today he had experienced too many ups and downs.
Zu An then said, "I've already said that I ended up there while investigating a case, and I just happened to run into Abbot Yan."
King Qi frowned: "Fairy Yan just said that you two have been together these past few days. What exactly happened?"
"A major problem has arisen beneath the Jade Family Mine. There's a spatial rift, and some terrifying creatures have invaded that area..." Yan Xuehen then went on to give a general account of the Scaleless Death Worms and the black mist.
Once.
Many officials nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the guards at the mine also reported the appearance of a mysterious black mist. Many people who came into contact with it were either corroded or lost their minds."
Sang Hong looked frustrated. He had reported this before, but no one had taken it seriously. Now that Abbot Yan had spoken, everyone was rushing to curry favor.
Yan Xuehen then recounted how she and Zu An had defeated the terrifying Reverse Scale Death Worm and completely destroyed the spatial rift: "At the time, I was seriously injured. If it weren't for Lord Zu's rescue, I would probably have perished. Moreover, once the spatial rift was fully opened, countless terrifying creatures would have invaded, causing widespread devastation. Therefore, Zu An not only had no faults but also made a great contribution, and the imperial court should reward him handsomely."
The officials in the court were all experts. Even through the audio-visual mirror, they could sense that Yan Xuehen's aura was much weaker than at her peak. She was indeed injured. They all sighed that the pseudo-scale death worm was too terrifying, even she was injured like this.
Xu Yu felt a chill run through him; he had never expected such a twist. He could only make a final effort: "How long did Abbot Yan stay with him? But according to my informant, he was clearly with Yu Yanluo in the Snake Clan."
Yan Xuehen gave him a cold look: "I've already said it, I've been with him all this time. Back then, in order to destroy that spatial rift, the entire mine collapsed, and we were trapped inside... We only just returned here. Every word I've said is the truth. If you don't believe me, I can swear to the heavens, or you can ask the chief priest to examine his conscience."
Zuan chuckled inwardly. This woman seemed as pure as a white flower on the surface, but he didn't expect her to be so cunning. Everything she said was true, but she had concealed some important details. In addition, the different angles of emphasis immediately had a completely different effect.
As expected, the officials in the court all shouted, "There's no need for that!"
"That's right, everyone knows that Fairy Yan is always noble and never tells a lie."
"Of course we believe in Fairy Yan!"
"Zu'an is a hero of the human race, he should be honored!"
...
Bi Linglong smiled like a crescent moon. She never expected that not only did her ancestor escape death, but he also turned misfortune into blessing. She had to find an opportunity to properly thank Master Yan.
Yes, we did neglect these hidden sects in previous years. I'll have my men prepare a generous gift and send it to Baiyujing later.
Pei Mianman also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as expected of Chu Yan's master, she was still on the side of her disciple's husband.
Wait, she absolutely must not find out about what happened between me and Azu. Otherwise, if she gets angry and tries to take credit for her disciple, who in Yunzhong County can stop her, a grandmaster?
Some were happy while others were sad. Xu Yu heard the discussions around him and knew that he was completely finished this time. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and coughed up a mouthful of blood. Then his vision went black and he fainted from anger and grief.
