"Have you heard? Fairy Chu of Baiyujing was actually married before!"
"Impossible! She looks so otherworldly, like a fairy, how could she already be married?"
She always seemed so pure and innocent, but I never imagined she was no longer a virgin.
"You can know a person's face but not their heart. She may seem so aloof on the surface, but she might be having all sorts of fun with her man behind the scenes."
"This must be a deliberate fabrication to smear her. I don't believe that such a noble fairy could be this kind of woman."
"You can lie to others, but never lie to yourself. I have a friend in Baiyujing who has reliable information that Fairy Chu was indeed married before she entered Baiyujing."
"Oh, my heart is breaking."
...
Early in the morning, Zhang Zijiang ran to Zu An with a look of admiration to report the news: "Lord Zu, I used to think you were unfathomable, but today I truly admire you to the point of prostration. Even a fairy like Miss Bai Yujing is your woman. My respect for you is like a never-ending river..."
"Lord Zhang, you were knocked unconscious by Abbot Yan yesterday, and you've recovered so quickly?" Seeing Zu An's increasingly grim expression, Xie Daoyun hurriedly stopped him from continuing.
"It's alright, I'm tough and recover quickly. If I hadn't been too careless and missed my chance to dodge yesterday, even Master Yan wouldn't have been able to knock me out so easily," Zhang Zijiang said without batting an eye.
Zuan asked with a stern face, "Is everyone outside talking about this?"
“Not everyone,” Zhang Zijiang said after thinking for a moment. “There are also some loyal supporters of Fairy Chu who think these are rumors; others have also come out to explain that Fairy Chu’s marriage to you, Lord Zu, was only in name, and you were not a real couple. Soon after, you became a wanted criminal, and Fairy Chu was taken in by Bai Yujing, so you had already divorced. In my opinion, these people are just ignorant. How could they know the charm of you, Lord Zu? How could you be just a couple in name only?”
"Lord Zhang!" Xie Daoyun, seeing Zu An's increasingly unpleasant face, couldn't help but kindly remind Zhang Zijiang to stop talking.
Zhang Zijiang was taken aback, then a look of sudden realization dawned on him. He realized that he had mentioned Lord Zu's affair with another woman to Miss Xie, which explained her displeasure.
Zu An was furious. He didn't think there was anything shameful about his relationship with Chu Chuyan, but the fact that it was revealed at this particular time clearly indicated that the person behind it had ulterior motives.
Human nature is to love gossip, and gossip is easily embellished, which can easily damage a person's reputation.
More importantly, her final battle with Qiu Honglei is imminent, and if this affects her mindset, then she will be in big trouble.
In particular, the "Supreme Forgetfulness Chapter" has quite a few taboos.
Thinking of this, he could no longer stay there. In a flash, he rushed towards the Baiyujing Villa on the mountain.
"Who is that Zu'an? He's actually Chu Xianzi's man. I'm so envious of his every day." "Don't you know? He's a high-ranking official in the court. Even the Imperial Advisor personally went to greet him a few days ago."
"Damn, it seems that the goddesses who are out of reach in the eyes of ordinary people are just playthings in the hands of the powerful and wealthy."
A few scattered whispers drifted through the air, leaving Zu An speechless. It seemed that young people from all worlds thought much the same way.
However, he wasn't about to get angry with these ordinary disciples, and he arrived at Chu Chuyan's villa in a great hurry.
They happened to run into Yan Xuehen coming out from inside.
Upon seeing him, Yan Xuehen's face darkened: "You dare to come here? Have you forgotten what I told you yesterday?"
Zu An was a little anxious: "Sister Yan, I didn't mean to make you angry. It's just that I heard too many rumors about Chu Yan this morning, and I was worried that something had happened to her, so I came to check on her."
"Did you deliberately spread those rumors to confirm your relationship?" Yan Xuehen stared intently into his eyes.
Zu An sighed: "Sister Yan, do you really think I'm such a despicable and shameless person?"
Yan Xuehen's expression softened slightly: "You are indeed a despicable and shameless person, but I also believe that you did not do this."
Zuan: "..."
Are you praising me or insulting me?
"Don't worry, Chu Yan is stronger than you think. Her only weakness is you. Other people's gossip can hardly affect her," Yan Xuehen said calmly.
"Can I see her?" Zuan was still worried.
“If you see her, it will only upset her more. It’s better to let her have some peace and quiet.” Yan Xuehen refused directly. “Don’t forget what I told you yesterday.”
Zuan's expression shifted between light and dark before he finally slumped down on the steps.
Seeing his dejected look, Yan Xuehen's expression shifted slightly. After a pause, she asked, "Who exactly was taking these walks? Do you have any clue?"
Zu An shook his head, his expression equally perplexed: "Very few people know about my relationship with Chu Yan, and they're almost all not in Zishan. I really can't figure out who did it. But I do have one suspicion..."
Then she told her about the two inexplicable murderous auras she had sensed that day and about the note Chu Chuyan received that evening.
Yan Xuehen said in a deep voice, "It seems that the person who left the note for Chu Yan and the person who spread the rumors are the same person. The other party not only knows that you and Chu Yan were once husband and wife, but also knows that you still have feelings for her, which is why she sent her to catch... Hmph, 'caught in the act'."
Zu An rolled his eyes: "Miss Xie and I are completely innocent, so I don't care. Saying it like this is damaging to her reputation."
