Seeing Xie Daoyun's frail figure shivering in the cold wind, the other women looked at her strangely. This girl was really too naive and innocent; even now, she still couldn't figure out the situation.
However, under such circumstances, she still dared to stand up and speak for Zuan despite being weak. This courage is truly amazing. You know, not long ago, those grandmasters were easily crushed by Zhao Hao. If he really angered her, a single look would be enough to make her vanish into thin air.
What has Zuan done to deserve such devotion from her, that she would even dare to defend him at a time like this?
This guy is really good at picking up girls.
Anger from Yun Jianyue: +111 +111 +111...
Anger from Qiu Honglei: +111 +111 +111...
Anger from Yan Xuehen: +111 +111 +111...
Feeling a surge of anger, Zu An felt a chill run down his spine, but he was mostly moved. He never expected Xie Daoyun to take such a big risk to plead for him. He knew that if she were labeled as his henchman, she would probably be doomed, and it might even implicate her family.
"A piece of hard work?" Zhao Hao was a little surprised. This girl seemed quite clever, but why was she a bit stupid?
"Is this kid genuinely eliminating potential threats here, or is he deliberately planting them for me?" Zhao Hao glanced at the site of the long-vanished altar not far away. "He investigated for so long, and yet he managed to hide so many explosives on this mountaintop without finding them?"
Although Xie Daoyun's body was still trembling, her tone was much calmer than before: "Your Majesty, when Lord Zu investigated before, the Golden Dome Arena hadn't even started construction yet..."
He was transferred again and has been staying by the Emperor's side ever since. The explosives incident can't be blamed on him, can it?
Zhao Hao chuckled: "It's not his fault, is it mine?"
"This brat has long harbored rebellious intentions, and he was just thinking of snatching chestnuts from the fire. If I continue to pretend I don't know, how will I be able to govern my subjects in the future!"
Hearing the chilling tone in his voice, Xie Daoyun's face turned pale.
She wanted to say something more, but Zu'an stopped her: "Sister Ling'er, there's no need."
Your younger sister?
The three women next to them immediately perked up their ears.
They're even calling each other by nicknames now? How affectionate!
Although the situation was not suitable for jealousy, the three women still couldn't help themselves.
Anger from Yun Jian Yue, Qiu Hong Lei, and Yan Xue Hen: +66 +66 +66...
Zuan looked helpless, but he was still prepared for battle. Although his opponent was strong, surrendering was not in his nature.
To everyone's surprise, Zhao Hao seemed to ignore her completely, and instead looked directly at Xie Daoyun with admiration in his eyes: "Little girl, who are you? I seem to sense the aura of the academy."
Xie Daoyun bowed slightly, revealing her identity to him.
"So she's Xie Yi, the Lord of Bright Moon City, the daughter of a tiger father. Like father, like daughter. Now that she's Yan Xiangu's disciple, her future achievements will surely be no less than her father's." Zhao Hao admired her more and more. The woman in front of him was well-educated and reasonable. She appeared weak, but she was exceptionally insightful and courageous.
Over the years, I've only seen a similar temperament in Bi Linglong. If it weren't for Bi Linglong, she could have been a great helpmate to the Crown Prince.
Thinking of Bi Linglong, he suddenly frowned and looked at Zu An: "Back in the Crown Prince's Era..."
What exactly happened in the secret training ground? What are you and the Crown Princess hiding from me?
Although Zuan and Bi Linglong explained it perfectly, he didn't actually believe it. After all, the Crown Prince had his Yang Spirit inside him, so how could he have been destroyed so easily?
Judging from the emperor's tone, this kid still has an ambiguous relationship with the crown princess?
Yun Jianyue, Yan Xuehen, and Qiu Honglei looked at Zu An. At this moment, they were not even in the mood to be angry. Instead, they admired him. There were still many things they did not know.
Upon hearing him bring up this matter, Zu'an knew very well that he probably had no intention of playing along with him anymore, and things were clearly not going to end well today.
While secretly reminding the women to prepare for battle, he feigned ignorance and replied, "Didn't we report everything that happened to the Emperor in detail? Why do you ask this?"
Zhao Hao snorted coldly, about to say something, when he suddenly remembered something and abruptly turned to look at Xie Daoyun: "Why did you come to Zishan?"
Xie Daoyun was taken aback, but still recounted the mission in detail.
"Yan Xiangu sent you to investigate the formation of Zishan?" After answering, Zhao Hao's expression changed slightly, as if he had thought of something.
Suddenly, Zuan had a flash of inspiration and understood many of his previous doubts.
So he said directly, "Since you've been here for so long, why don't you show yourself?"
The women around him looked at him blankly, not understanding who he was talking to.
On the contrary, Zhao Hao looked as if facing a formidable enemy, his gaze fixed solemnly in a certain direction.
Suddenly, a rift opened in mid-air, and a figure slowly emerged. This person had silver hair and, although old, still appeared youthful.
He was a very handsome guy at the time.
The key is that this person has an otherworldly air about him, unlike Zhao Hao's imposing aura. However, no one dares to underestimate him because he has an unfathomable quality about him.
"The Chief Priest?" Xie Daoyun was dumbfounded, never expecting to see this person at this time and place.
Not to mention her, even Yan Xuehen was somewhat lost in thought. As Bai Yujing's representative in the world, she had met the Chief Priest several times, and the two had a certain relationship.
However, she did not expect to see her here.
Yun Jianyue looked tense and secretly transmitted her voice, "Aunt, the situation is not good. You take Hong Lei and leave later. I will cover you. Every person who can leave is a person who can leave."
