“Okay!” Zuan answered crisply.
"You agreed without even asking who we wanted to save?" Qiu Honglei was stunned.
Zu An laughed and said, "If you ask me for anything, let alone one thing, even ten or a hundred, I will go through fire and water for you."
Qiu Honglei felt something was off. Shouldn't I be the one begging him? Why did he have to use "we"?
"You're so glib. I don't know what Honglei likes about you." Yun Jianyue rolled her eyes, seemingly looking down on him.
Zuan looked at her and couldn't help but laugh. This woman was really interesting. She deliberately acted like this in front of her apprentice. What a drama queen!
Seeing his smile, Yun Jianyue's face flushed, and she glared at him fiercely, warning him not to reveal their relationship.
Although Qiu Honglei felt that the exchange of glances between the two was a bit strange, she didn't think much of it: "Grandpa, it's like this, you should know Consort Bai in the palace, right?"
"Bai Fei?" Zu An was taken aback, thinking of the beautiful woman who exuded a floral fragrance. "The person you're trying to save isn't her, is it?"
Yun Jianyue nodded: "Rouxue is my junior sister. She was sent by the Holy Sect to infiltrate the palace as an undercover agent. However, she suddenly lost contact a few days ago. According to the information I received, her identity may have been exposed, so I would like to ask you for help."
Zuan was somewhat shocked, never expecting that the delicate and gentle woman was also a member of the Demonic Sect.
However, this was not unexpected. After all, when Yun Jianyue and the others were in the palace, she seemed to have offered help intentionally or unintentionally. After saving Yun Jianyue, she had always been very friendly to him.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yun Jianyue continued, "As far as I know, Rouxue seems to treat you quite well as well."
Zuan sighed: "Oh, so that's why. I thought she was attracted to me because I'm handsome."
Qiu Honglei: "..."
Cloud Moon: "..."
I have never seen such a shameless person.
Zu An's smile faded: "But as far as I know, the Emperor is already on his way to Zishan. Whether Consort Bai was brought out, placed under house arrest in the palace, or perhaps..."
The worst-case scenario remains: he has most likely been secretly executed.
Qiu Honglei shook her head: "We have limited intelligence right now. Because of the last assassination attempt in the palace, we lost a lot of informants in the palace and can't get any useful information. After thinking about it, we can only ask you for help."
Yun Jianyue snorted: "Rouxue's identity is one of the Holy Sect's biggest secrets. No more than three people know it. If she didn't consider you one of her own, she wouldn't tell you even if something happened to her."
"Master~" Qiu Honglei gave her a resentful look, thinking that it was one thing for her master to be domineering on ordinary days, but now that she was asking for a favor, couldn't she say something softer?
Yun Jianyue could easily guess Qiu Honglei's thoughts. She thought to herself, what a silly child. Perhaps it was because there were too many competitors that she was so anxious and afraid of upsetting that boy.
However, she didn't know that her master was also on the scales this time. If he didn't agree when the two women were begging him, then she had really misjudged him.
As expected, Zuan quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, leave this to me. But you should be prepared that I may not be able to save her."
"A-Zu is the best." Qiu Honglei happily hugged his arm, thinking that even though Master was so rude to him, he wasn't angry. He must be doing this because of me. He's so good to me.
Seeing the two embracing intimately, Yun Jianyue felt a little irritated and said, "Don't worry, we know this is difficult. Whether or not we can rescue her, we will be grateful for your help."
“By the way,” Zuan remembered something, “Since Bai Fei is your junior sister, why does her cultivation level seem average to me?”
She had given herself a sachet to conceal her cultivation aura before, but the sachet's effects were limited. Yun Jianyue was, after all, a Grandmaster. The difference between these two sisters was just too great.
“The little white flower in her hair is a special seal that seals away all her cultivation. After all, she’s infiltrating the royal family, and having too high a cultivation level would only cause trouble,” Yun Jianyue explained. “Besides, Rou Xue is not following the same path as me. She cultivates another special technique of the Holy Sect, which is similar to the Heavenly Demon Enchantress, but she is not known for her martial arts.”
Zu An suddenly realized why Bai Fei always had that little white flower on her head no matter how she changed her clothes. He had previously thought it was because she loved flowers so much.
Is it similar to the alluring voice of the Heavenly Demon, perhaps also a form of seductive art?
Bai Fei does indeed possess a delicate and gentle temperament, which makes men involuntarily feel a desire to protect and cherish her. In addition, she exudes a floral fragrance, which may also be a characteristic of that kind of cultivation technique.
Of course, it was best not to ask the two women about these things anymore.
Seeing that he agreed, Yun Jianyue nodded and was about to leave with Qiu Honglei when she suddenly saw the reluctance in her eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "I'll wait for you outside."
After saying that, he immediately slipped away, wanting to avoid seeing or being bothered by it.
Qiu Honglei felt a little shy and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Zuan laughed when he saw her shy appearance: "Where did that bewitching courtesan of Bright Moon City go? And what about that demonic cult enchantress who captivated all the Taoist disciples on the Golden Summit a few days ago and is still being secretly talked about? How did she become so shy?"
"Oh dear, you're different from everyone else," Qiu Honglei said coquettishly.
...
Yun Jianyue leaned against a tree, seemingly calm and collected, but in reality, she was secretly listening to a young couple whispering sweet nothings to each other, and felt inexplicably irritated.
