Zu An had actually noticed the woman next to Zheng Dan long ago. She had an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and wore a pale yellow dress. She was quiet yet alluring, with an elegant smile on her lips. It was the graceful demeanor that could only be cultivated from a life of privilege.
Coupled with those beautiful, seemingly expressive eyes, she exudes a clear and bright aura, possessing a captivating charm of purity, elegance, and nobility.
Standing side by side with Zheng Dan, who was both dignified and beautiful, they were truly like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each with their own unique charm.
She was curiously observing Zu An when Zheng Dan suddenly pushed her, almost causing her to stumble and fall into Zu An's arms.
She glared at Zheng Dan with annoyance before introducing herself: "Hello, Zu. It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Xie Daoyun. I hope to get to know you better in the future."
Zuan had to admire her; even in such a hurried and disheveled situation, she still exuded an innate confidence, and truly appeared poised and elegant.
“Miss Xie is too kind. This is probably not the first time we’ve met.” Zu An looked at him with a half-smile.
Xie Daoyun's heart skipped a beat, wondering if he knew about her last visit to Shenxianju. However, she remained calm and immediately said, "That's right. I witnessed Zu's talent at the Chu and Yuan family competition before, and we've also met at school."
Seeing her quick reaction, Zu An didn't expose her: "I've heard so much about Miss Xie's name and have long admired her. But seeing her today, I realize that hearing about her is not as good as meeting her in person."
Xie Daoyun's expression changed slightly. Even with her good manners, she, as a young woman, found it hard to bear being mocked like that to her face.
Before he could react, Zu'an continued, "Those rumors are completely inadequate to describe Miss Xie's beauty and temperament. I regret not having seen her sooner."
Wei Suo, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed, thinking to himself that his boss was indeed the boss, his skill in winning over women was truly amazing.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for himself. Why could he talk so eloquently and give advice like the boss in private, but when he met him in person, he couldn't say a word?
On the other side, Zheng Dan couldn't help but glance at Zu An again. This guy really knew how to seduce women.
Xie Daoyun blushed slightly. No one dared to speak to her like that normally, and she was momentarily taken aback: "You flatter me, Classmate Zu..."
"Let's talk when we get to Sifang Pavilion. Young Master Wang must be getting impatient," Zheng Dan said, taking Xie Daoyun's hand.
Xie Daoyun naturally had no objection. She nodded slightly to Zu An and then followed Zheng Dan into the carriage.
Zu An then instructed Cheng Shouping and several guards waiting at the school gate, "Tell the Second Miss I'm not going back for dinner. You can go back with her."
He still needs to figure out how to get to the Wei family later, and it's inconvenient to have someone with him.
Cheng Shouping immediately looked bitter. He had originally planned to visit Sifang Pavilion, but now not only could he not go, he also had to face the violent Second Miss. Why was his life so miserable?
Jiao Shan and the guards naturally had no objections. Now that Chen Xuan was dead and the crisis in Zu'an had been resolved, and the city lord's daughter was traveling with them, they naturally did not need to protect her at all times.
The two carriages soon arrived at Sifang Pavilion. Zu An got out of the carriage and saw a beautiful wooden building with several stories high, carved railings and jade pillars. It had a bit of a fairyland feel to it, but the overall color was much more ancient and dignified.
Wang Yuanlong was already waiting at the door. Upon seeing this, he hurriedly came over: "Brother Zu, Brother Wei, Miss Xie, Miss Zheng..."
After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Yuanlong stepped aside and said, "Please come in, everyone. Oh, and Miss Zheng, General Sang is also inside."
Zheng Dan smiled slightly: "Thank you, Young Master Wang."
Zuan was a little annoyed, but he knew that his emotions were unreasonable and that it was just a man's possessiveness at play.
Wang Yuanlong then explained to Zu An, "Brother Zu, the River Defense Battalion also contributed to my rescue, so we invited them along. I hope you don't mind."
Zuan smiled slightly: "I'm not that petty."
The group went up several floors in succession, and there were fewer and fewer guests on each floor. Obviously, the higher up they went, the higher the status and position of the guests.
When we arrived at the top floor staircase, there was already a crowd gathered there. Everyone was obviously very curious about the top floor, but since they couldn't go up, they could only take pictures and watch from here.
"It's Young Master Wang!"
"He is indeed a handsome man!"
"Hey, isn't that Miss Xie? The city lord's daughter, a beauty and a talented woman. We are so lucky today."
"That's Miss Zheng next to me! They're all so beautiful. Even though we didn't get to the top floor today, seeing them makes the trip worthwhile."
...
At this moment, the tall and handsome Sang Qian also came down to greet his fiancée. After exchanging greetings with the others, he looked tenderly at Zheng Dan and said, "Dan'er, you've come."
Zheng Dan glanced at Zu An discreetly, then said coldly, "General Sang, although we are engaged, we are not yet married. Please do not address me so intimately in front of everyone."
Sang Qian's smile froze; he hadn't expected her to be so disrespectful to him in front of others.
However, he didn't mind, guessing that the other party was probably still angry about what happened on Whale Island.
Moreover, he somewhat liked her spirit; it was this unruly nature that made her seem even more reserved and ladylike.
Thinking about it this way, he felt relieved and smiled slightly, "Miss Zheng is right."
Zuan curled his lip, thinking to himself that this guy really had the traits of a simp.
However, considering how ruthless he had been in slaughtering everyone on Whale Island, he didn't dare to underestimate him.
