"Why?" Whether she was still in the midst of her excitement or something else, Chu Chuyan's mind was a little blank. She had always believed that her battle with Qiu Honglei was related to the reputation of Baiyujing and the Demonic Sect, and even represented the struggle between good and evil. She dared not be careless in the slightest. Who knew that her master would say that those things were not important?
“Silly child,” Yan Xuehen sighed, “You know the relationship between Qiu Honglei and Zu An. If you lose to her, won’t you be overshadowed by her for the rest of your life?”
Chu Chuyan blushed and said weakly, "I know Qiu Honglei, it shouldn't be like this..."
His voice trailed off. Love was something that couldn't be reasoned with. If he really lost to her, he'd probably never be able to hold his head high in her presence again, always at her mercy…
“Even if Qiu Honglei doesn’t understand now, she will understand in the future,” Yan Xuehen said, giving her disciple a look of exasperation. “Besides, she is Yun Jianyue’s disciple. Yun Jianyue has always wanted to be superior to me, but she has never succeeded. Once her disciple has an opportunity, she will definitely instigate her to suppress my disciple and satisfy her ridiculous desire to win.”
"As the leader of the Demonic Sect, Yun Jianyue has always been ruthless in her actions. Under her instigation, Qiu Honglei will inevitably suppress you in various ways in the future. She might even usurp your position and make you submit to her, or even make you ashamed to stay by Zu'an's side. Do you really want things to develop to that point?"
The blush on Chu Chuyan's face faded, leaving her deathly pale, as she realized that this situation was very likely to occur.
"So this battle wasn't fought for Bai Yujing, but for yourself. Yet you acted for a moment of pleasure... How can I not be angry?" Yan Xuehen said resentfully. But what angered her the most was that bastard. He had promised not to provoke Chu Yan, but he broke his promise!
"Master, I know I was wrong." Chu Chuyan took a deep breath, her expression gradually becoming resolute. "I will not see him again for the next few days and will focus all my energy on the upcoming competition."
Hearing her say that, Yan Xuehen nodded with satisfaction: "It's good that you know. With your intelligence and cultivation, it's not too late for you to realize this now."
"Thank you, Master." Chu Chuyan felt a little strange. She thought that her master was really different from before. In the past, she would never have cared about these matters between men and women. Now, she was actually helping her to devise strategies in the power struggles within the household.
However, seeing that her master was angry, she did not dare to ask any questions. She was deeply moved, thinking that her master truly regarded her as his daughter, which was why he was so considerate of her.
Seeing that Chu Chuyan had returned to her usual aloofness, Yan Xuehen felt relieved. However, seeing the messy bed and the lingering intimacy in the air, she felt awkward staying any longer, so she left with a stern face.
Chu Chuyan was left alone in the room, covering her face with her hands: "How embarrassing, how embarrassing."
The thought of being caught by her master made her so embarrassed that she felt like digging a hole in the floor with her toes.
After Yan Xuehen left the room, her figure floated like a white cloud to the door of Zu An's group.
She snorted coldly: "You surnamed Zu, get out here."
"Who dares to speak so disrespectfully to our General Zu!" Zhang Zijiang was thrilled to hear such a good opportunity to flatter him. He excitedly dressed and ran outside with his weapon in hand, making sure that Zu An could hear his declaration of loyalty.
He didn't even get a clear look at the enemy; he only saw a white shadow flash before his eyes, and then he rolled back to his room and passed out.
The guards from the other houses were a step behind when they came out, just in time to see a stunningly beautiful woman in white gently wave her sleeve, and they were all horrified.
However, feeling obligated to do their duty, they mustered the courage to take out their knives, though their hands were trembling.
"Ahem, this is none of your business, all of you go back inside." At this moment, Zu An came out and told the soldiers to go back inside.
The soldiers felt as if they had been granted a pardon. As they returned to their rooms, they were filled with admiration. "Lord Zu is indeed Lord Zu. He remained calm and composed in the face of such a terrifyingly powerful woman. He is truly unfathomable."
After everyone else had gone back, Zu An bowed to Yan Xuehen and said, "Sister Yan, it's been a long time. You still look as radiant as ever."
Yan Xuehen's expression turned cold: "Who's your sister?"
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +444 +444 +444...
Zuan, without batting an eye, replied, "Of course it's you. I still can't forget the days when we fought side by side..."
"I'm not here to reminisce," Yan Xuehen interrupted him directly. This bastard couldn't say anything nice. Who knew if his talk of fighting side by side was just a euphemism? "You know what you've done, yet you still have the nerve to come out and see me?"
Zu An looked completely innocent: "What good thing have I done? I've been here the whole time and haven't gone out. Is there some misunderstanding? Sister Yan, if you don't believe me, you can ask someone in this courtyard."
Yan Xuehen sneered, "Oh, so you mean Chu Yan is messing around with other men in the room?"
Zuan: "..."
This woman usually seems so naive and innocent, but she's surprisingly ruthless.
When it came to Chu Yan's reputation, he had to admit, "Uh, I was wrong just now, but I didn't know you would come back at that time."
"Oh, so it's my fault after all this trouble?" Yan Xuehen laughed angrily.
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +518 +518 +518...
