"I heard that you forced the young master of the Shi family to retreat with a single move in the back mountains of the academy. It seems you had a fortuitous encounter in the Yao Guang Secret Realm." Old Man Mi looked him over curiously.
Zu An replied respectfully, "I was quite lucky to find a Vanishing Illusion Lotus, which improved my cultivation somewhat."
"The Vanishing Lotus!" Old Man Mi's breathing quickened. "You ate them all?"
Zu An shook his head: "No, most of it was given to Miss Chu to save her."
"Foolish!" Old Man Mi slapped his thigh in anger and stood up agitatedly. "Why don't you eat it yourself!"
Mylian Ying's anger level increased by 250!
Zuan was taken aback. He thought Zuan was angry because he hadn't brought back the Illusionary Lotus for him, but it turned out that Zuan was angry because Zuan hadn't eaten it.
He actually cares about me so much. Have I misunderstood him?
“At that time, Miss Chu was on the verge of death, and her vital energy was completely destroyed. As husband and wife, we couldn’t just stand by and watch her die,” Zu An replied.
"Husband and wife?" Old Man Mi sneered. "Don't you know what kind of relationship you have with her? Who in this mansion truly treats you as their son-in-law?"
Zuan secretly scoffed. Actually, there was something there. At least Chu Huanzhao and Cheng Shouping were. As for Chu Chuyan's true thoughts now, he wasn't quite sure. But since the two had been intimate, it could at least be considered half of it.
Old Man Mi said angrily, "Besides, don't you have any idea what's wrong with your body? You can't even have sex, yet you're so chivalrous!"
Mylian Ying's anger level increased by 666!
Zuan: "..."
Brother, you shouldn't hit someone in the face. If it were the old him, he would probably be filled with shame and indignation. Fortunately, he has fully recovered now and no longer cares about such verbal abuse.
Seeing that he remained silent, Old Man Mi lost interest in scolding him: "Forget it, Chu Chuyan has already eaten it anyway, there's no point in saying anything more. But you must remember in the future that improving your own strength is the only way in this world, everything else is meaningless."
"By the way, I heard that Wei Hongde has also entered the secret realm. How did you do with the task I gave you?"
Zaun said without batting an eye, "We've met frankly in the secret realm and are already good friends."
As for whether Wei Hongde considered him a friend, he didn't care.
Old Man Mi's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly: "Alright, remember to find out about his family's movements in the future, no matter how small the details, and then report back to me. Remember not to let him find out anything. I think you're quite clever, you should be able to do it."
“No problem,” Zuan readily agreed, then asked curiously, “But why do you need to know about his family?”
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask," Old Man Mi said coldly. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, and with a wave of his hand, the Tai'a Sword appeared in his grasp.
Zu'an was anxious. How could this sword fall into the hands of others? Unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and he did not dare to make any rash moves for the time being, secretly weighing the gains and losses.
"It's actually a Heavenly-grade divine weapon. No wonder it could cut through Shi Kun's sword. It seems you've indeed gained quite a bit in this secret realm." Old Man Mi flicked the blade, then casually tossed it back to him. "Don't worry, I wouldn't stoop to stealing your things."
He secretly added to himself: Anyway, everything you have will be mine sooner or later.
"Thank you, senior." After seeing him off, Zu'an looked at Tai'a Sword and said, "You really have no integrity, do you? You just went over after someone waved you over?"
Mi Li's phantom emerged from the sword, her expression somewhat solemn: "Do you know what his cultivation level is?"
"What level of cultivation?" Zu An asked hurriedly, as he had always been very curious about this.
“Ninth rank!” Mi Li’s red lips parted slightly, a hint of apprehension appearing on her face. “He’s not much weaker than Zhang Han.”
"So powerful?" Zu An was dumbfounded. He knew that the person with the highest cultivation in Mingyue City was Chu Zhongtian, but he was only at the eighth rank. Yet, a trembling flower farmer in his mansion was already at the ninth rank.
However, he quickly breathed a sigh of relief: "Even Zhang Han was easily defeated by you, this one is not even as good as Zhang Han, what's there to be afraid of?"
Mi Li's phoenix eyes showed more caution: "It's different. Zhang Han was determined to die, which is why I won so easily. Besides, I am only in a soul form now, and my soul is severely damaged due to the two host transfers. I am probably no match for him now, so you'd better not offend this person. I don't want to die with you."
Zuan: "..."
Empress, your thighs aren't thick enough!
Just as he was about to say something, Chu Huanzhao's voice suddenly came from afar: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, come with me quickly to treat my sister."
Soon a short-haired girl came running up, panting heavily, her small chest heaving, clearly exhausted from running all the way.
Zu An looked suspicious: "Your mother allowed me to treat your sister?"
"Of course not, but I've completely captivated her." Chu Huanzhao's face was flushed as she innocently revealed this explosive news.

I'm not feeling well today, so I'll stop here for now. I need to sort out my thoughts and hopefully catch up on what I've missed tomorrow...
