It is said that Wang Wuxie originally severed his emotional ties with great willpower and wisdom. Even after learning that Yan Xuehen had come to Zishan, he maintained a calm mind and even restrained himself from looking at her.
But these past few days, being on the referee's bench together and seeing that elegant and refined figure every day has stirred up memories of his youth.
He discovered that Yan Xuehen seemed even more beautiful than before, and as a result, every time he returned to Chunyang Palace, his mind was filled with her beautiful image.
Tonight, on a whim, unable to sleep, he decided to come and see her.
Of course, he knew his limits and didn't dare get too close. If he were mistaken for a lecher, he would be in deep trouble and wouldn't be able to clear his name. Not only would he be disgraced, but his image in Yan Xuehen's eyes would also be completely destroyed.
So I thought I'd just take a peek at the courtyard where she lives from afar, and feel her presence.
There should be her scent in the wind; that's enough for him.
Who knew that upon arriving, I would witness this scene: the goddess in my heart was having a secret rendezvous with a man in the middle of the night?
However, when he realized that the other party was Zuan, his terrified heart gradually calmed down.
How could these two be together?
Xuehen views him much like she would a nephew or niece.
However, he still felt inexplicably irritated and pricked up his ears to listen to what the two were talking about.
It turned out that the two had set up a barrier around them, so they couldn't hear anything at all.
It's rather suspicious that a lone man and woman would be chatting late at night, with their conversations blocked from view.
However, he dismissed the thought as soon as it arose. I know Xuehen's personality best. She is always calm and aloof, and she is not interested in worldly affairs. How could she be the kind of woman who would secretly meet with a man in the middle of the night?
It must be related to her apprentice, Chu Chuyan; that's probably the only topic the two of them can talk about.
At this moment, Zu'an Yan Xuehen explained the effects of the Lucky Pill, which shocked Yan Xuehen to the core: "There are such pills in the world?"
“It is indeed quite magical, but I don’t have any left now. If I have the chance to get one again next time, I’ll give you one to try,” Zuan said with a smile.
"Who cares?" Yan Xuehen said nonchalantly, but the slight upturn of her lips betrayed her true feelings.
"So that's how you won 7.5 million taels in Brightmoon City?"
Yan Xuehen was a smart person and quickly realized what was going on.
Now it was Zu'an's turn to be surprised: "You even know about this?"
Yan Xuehen's face flushed. These days, she had been intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about things related to Chu Chuyan.
In order to get her master to let go of his prejudice against Zu An, Chu Chuyan was naturally very willing to share her experiences with Zu An with her. Over the course of several months, she told her almost everything except about their intimate moments.
Yan Xuehen felt guilty on one hand, but couldn't resist her gossipy nature on the other, so she listened to the whole thing in the end.
"You are Chu Yan's husband, so of course I need to investigate your background." Upon hearing this, the two of them suddenly fell into a strange silence.
Zuan was also at his wit's end. This kind of thing couldn't be solved simply by being strong. Could some senior transmigrator offer some advice?
Yan Xuehen was also somewhat irritated, and left a curt reply: "I've agreed to this. Just come to me if you need anything."
He paused, then added, "Don't disturb Chu Yan then."
Zuan nodded: "Okay."
Then the two of them froze at the same time. It felt like they were doing something sneaky behind Chu Yan's back, and the key point was that everything was so natural and harmonious.
Yan Xuehen couldn't stay any longer and turned around to go back to the courtyard.
Zuan was also somewhat agitated at this point, and knowing that there was no point in forcing her to stay, he left with a heavy heart.
Seeing that the two did not engage in any intimate behavior from beginning to end, Wang Wuxie couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I knew it! How could Fairy Yan have feelings for a man?
Especially when he thought of the worried look on Zu An's face when he left, he felt a surge of secret pleasure. It was probably because Fairy Yan did not approve of his relationship with Chu Chuyan.
That kid is really something. Female disciples of Baiyujing aren't so easy to woo. Even someone as outstanding as me back then ended up with nothing.
Whether it was seeing Zuan get the short end of the stick or Yan Xuehen remaining as innocent as ever, Wang Wuxie was in an exceptionally good mood, and even his steps were lighter on his way back.
The next day, the highly anticipated final began—although there was still one more match to go, almost everyone believed that Pei Mianman was just lucky and that her actual strength was far inferior to the two opponents.
The disciples from each sect excitedly took their seats. Over at Lihentian, Zhao Xiaodie couldn't help but ask Zhiyin, who was standing next to her, "Senior Brother, who do you think will win today's competition?"
These days, he, who was usually full of vigor, is extremely depressed. His face is even unkempt and he has no interest in taking care of himself. Guan Chouhai is worried about his condition, so he instructed his disciples to talk to him whenever they had time to help him get out of the shadow of failure.
"Originally, with Wu Xiaofan's strength, Peng Wuyan would have had no chance at all, but Wan Guiyi was unexpectedly strong, leaving Wu Xiaofan seriously injured. Although the Zhengyang Sect must have spent a lot of effort and used spiritual medicine to help him recover last night, the time was too short. It is still unknown who will win today." As he explained this, he felt even more depressed.
I should have been the one on stage, chatting and laughing with these people! Ugh!
Zhao Xiaodie exclaimed, "Senior brother's insights are indeed sharp. With each side gaining an advantage, it was truly a closely contested match."
She couldn't help but glance at Zu An on the ring, thinking to herself what had gotten into her a few days ago. This bastard had bullied her so much back then, and one day she would definitely give him a good beating.
