"But how is that possible?" Chu Chuyan was still puzzled. Zu An was only at the third rank. Although he defeated Yuan Wendong on the stage last time, everyone could see that it was due to various coincidences.
Even if he's stronger than a typical third-rank assassin, he shouldn't be strong enough to kill four fourth-rank assassins in a life-or-death battle.
"There's a lot you don't know about how amazing I am. You'll get to know me better in the future," Zuan said mysteriously with a smile.
"Then why was it so easy for Xue'er to catch you just now?" Chu Chuyan asked.
Zuan's breath hitched, and he chuckled awkwardly, "It just so happened that we were in the woods, and she was practicing wood-based abilities, so she was captured by mistake."
Chu Chuyan gave an "oh" and then fell silent.
Zuan couldn't help but ask, "By the way, why did you leave just now? Those assassins were all sent by that guy Shi Kun. As my wife, you should have helped me get revenge."
Chu Chuyan blushed, and after a long while, she replied, "Because I can't beat them."
"Can't beat them?" Zu An was stunned. "You're the number one prodigy in Bright Moon City. To be honest, hearing you say that has drastically damaged my image of you."
"Shut up!" Chu Chuyan's cheeks flushed. "Shi Kun's cultivation is no less than mine, and it wouldn't be so bad if he were alone, but he also has Xue'er and a whole bunch of subordinates with him. How are we supposed to fight him?"
“I’m right next to you too,” Zu’an said resentfully. Shi Kun had been plotting against him all along, and it would be even better if he could get rid of him in the secret realm.
"It's precisely because of you that I can't beat you," Chu Chuyan replied coldly.
Zuan was stunned for a long time, never expecting that his icy wife was actually a comedian.
"Hahaha, I heard from Elder Shi that Miss Chu was injured in the competition. I didn't expect her injury to be so serious, and she hasn't recovered after so long." A burst of laughter came, and Shi Kun appeared in the distance with a group of his men while fanning himself. Qiao Xueying stood aside with a complicated expression.
Chu Chuyan suddenly turned around: "Can you hear us?"
Shi Kun closed his fan and smiled slightly, "Miss Chu, do you not know that I cultivate a wind-based technique? Wind-based techniques have a skill called 'Hearing the Wind,' which can amplify and listen to sounds carried by the wind. Just now, we were downwind."
Chu Chuyan glanced at his men, who were silently scattered around him: "What are you trying to do? Do you want to fight me?"
Shi Kun shook his head: "Miss Chu, you flatter me. Besides, I have long admired you, so of course I won't make things difficult for you. The only one I want to deal with is Zu An."
Zu An's heart sank. So Chu Chuyan was injured. No wonder her complexion had been paler than before.
Chu Chuyan replied, "Zu An is my husband. What difference does it make whether you deal with him or me?"
Zu An was stunned. He hadn't expected Chu Chuyan to say that. She was usually cold to him, and sometimes he couldn't even tell that they were family. But at this moment, she actually admitted that he was her husband.
What's wrong with me? I'm so moved I feel like crying.
Upon hearing her words, Shi Kun's handsome face instantly contorted, and he paced back and forth anxiously: "What merit does that man surnamed Zu possess to be your husband!"
"Miss Chu, you are not only stunningly beautiful, but also a renowned cultivation genius. A woman like you is only worthy of the most powerful and outstanding man in the world. He is nothing but a good-for-nothing..."
Anger from Shi Kun: +256 +256 +256 +256...
Before he could finish speaking, Zu'an interrupted him: "Excuse me, but is the strongest and most outstanding man that this guy, Ribi, is referring to himself?"
Shi Kun said arrogantly, "So what if it is?"
Zu An chuckled and said, "But I seem to remember that the most powerful person in the world is the Emperor. According to what you're saying, does that mean the Emperor isn't as powerful or as outstanding as you?"
"I..." Shi Kun's breath hitched, never expecting to be led into a trap. "Of course, that's not what I meant. Don't try to frame me!"
Even with his arrogance and confidence, he dared not show the slightest disrespect to the emperor. Otherwise, if it reached the emperor's ears, not only would he be finished, but his family would also suffer disaster. Having been exposed to the emperor's power since childhood, he knew how terrifying the emperor's strength was.
Shi Kun's anger level increased by 444!
"If that's the case, then it proves that what you just said was just bragging?" Zuan said with a disdainful tone.
Shi Kun: "..."
He felt that the image of a gentle and refined gentleman that he had built up over the years was going to be ruined by this kid. Why was this guy so annoying!
Shi Kun's anger level increased by 512!
Chu Chuyan's voice rang out: "I'm choosing a husband, not a martial arts champion. Zu An meets all my requirements, so I can only regret not being able to accept your kind offer."
Zuan's eyes lit up, and he went over and took her cool, soft little hand in his: "Wife, you're so good to me."
Chu Chuyan: "..."
This guy really knows how to seize an opportunity. I wanted to shake him off, but then I remembered that I had just said those things to put an end to any other people's ideas, so it wouldn't be appropriate to shake him off now.
He must have known this, and he did it on purpose!
Looking at their tightly clasped hands, Shi Kun's face darkened completely: "Chu Chuyan, you have always been a pure and innocent person in my heart, but now you are holding hands with another man. Isn't that a bit too disrespectful of yourself!"
Shi Kun's anger level has increased by 999!
