“It’s really difficult to get out now,” Pei Mianman’s voice rang in my ears.
Zuan was startled: "You got dressed so fast?"
Pei Mianman smiled seductively: "I can take off my clothes faster, do you want to see?"
Clearly, once she put on her clothes, she had regained her usual captivating charm.
Zuan looked speechless: "I'm going to tell my wife that you're seducing me."
Pei Mianman gently placed an arm on his shoulder and said with a half-smile, "Go ahead and sue. Then we'll see whether Chu Yan believes you or me."
Zuan: "..."
He was aware of his own reputation; anyone in his shoes would have chosen to believe Pei Mianman.
“Since you want to take your clothes off, I naturally don’t mind watching. Take them off.” Zu’an looked back at him defiantly.
Pei Mianman spat, released her arm and moved away from him: "I was just testing you for Chu Yan, and you showed your true colors. Ugh, you scumbag!"
Looking at her smiling face, Zuan thought to himself, "What a charming little devil... no, a big devil!"
After exchanging a few jokes, the two quickly returned their attention to their business.
Pei Mianman looked at the many figures outside, a hint of worry appearing between her brows: "If I hadn't been injured, perhaps I could have broken through, but now..."
She didn't finish her sentence, but her implication was clear: there was probably no way out now, and if they alerted that mysterious expert again, they would be doomed.
Zuan thought for a moment and said, "I have a way to distract everyone. You must seize that brief opportunity to escape."
Pei Mianman was startled and quickly shook her head: "No, if anything happens to you, Chu Yan will never forgive me."
Zuan smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have my own methods, there won't be any danger."
Seeing his confident tone, and recalling everything that had happened since they met, Pei Mianman no longer doubted him and simply nodded, "Then be careful."
Zuan nodded, quietly climbed out of the window, and quietly came to the vicinity of a pond he remembered passing by.
Then he summoned the Blue Duck, and the water in the pond suddenly burst open, creating a giant wave tens of meters high.
The commotion immediately alerted the entire Wei family, and the guards who were searching nearby rushed over.
Zuan quietly retreated, but he had only gone halfway when he suddenly froze, because a gaunt old man flew towards him.
The terrifying aura emanating from the other person made him realize instantly that this was the person who had been hiding in the house and injured Pei Mianman earlier.
Holy crap, can I really be that unlucky?
Zu An broke out in a cold sweat the moment the other person glanced at him.
The old man frowned slightly, and just as he was about to make a move, Wei Dabao arrived and quickly said to him, "Godfather, this is a guest of our household, and also the son-in-law of the Chu family, Zu An..."
Upon hearing the name Zu'an, the old man's eyes lit up: "You're Zu'an?"
"Zu An greets this senior!" Zu An's heart pounded. From the other person's tone, it seemed that he had heard his name before.
This is not a good thing. Being targeted by such a terrifying expert is enough to make anyone uneasy.
"Not bad, not bad." The old man glanced at him a few times, but didn't say anything more.
At this moment, Wei Dabao couldn't help but ask, "Nephew, why are you here?"
Zuan reacted quickly and soon came up with an explanation: "I couldn't sleep, so I was going to go for a walk. But then I heard a loud noise, so I came to check it out."
He clearly just came from the pond, but said he went to the pond. Luckily, his acting skills were outstanding, and he didn't give himself away at all.
Wei Dabao smiled apologetically: "The manor is a bit chaotic today, I apologize for disturbing your rest, my dear nephew."
"Uncle, you're too kind. May I ask what happened at your residence?" Zu asked, feigning ignorance.
"It's just a petty thief, nothing serious," Wei Dabao said with a smile. "Nephew, please go back and rest."
"Then I won't bother you any longer." Zu An bowed and walked back.
Watching his departing figure, Wei Dabao whispered, "Godfather, do you think he might have caused this commotion?"
The old man shook his head and looked at the pond not far away, saying, "That commotion just now could only be made by a sixth or even seventh-grade water-type cultivator. He doesn't have that level of cultivation yet."
Wei Dabao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the old man suddenly asked, "I heard that he shone brightly in the family competition between the Chu and Yuan families before?"
Wei Dabao was a little curious, not expecting his godfather to be interested in Zu'an, but he still answered, "That's right, he actually defeated Yuan Wendong, a fifth-rank official, which really shocked a lot of people."
"Fifth rank? But judging from his aura fluctuations, he shouldn't be at the fifth rank yet," the old man said in a deep voice.
“Yes, at the time his swordsmanship... well, or rather his movement techniques seemed a bit strange,” Wei Dabao replied.
"His movement technique..." The old man's smile was somewhat strange, as if he had known all along. "Do you know who his master is?"
Wei Dabao shook his head: "I've never heard of him having any master, I only know that he studied some things at Mingyue Academy."
"Could it be at Bright Moon Academy..." the old man murmured to himself, lost in thought.
"By the way, why is Godfather so interested in him?" Wei Dabao asked tentatively.
The old man said casually, "Just asking."
After saying that, he turned around and went back. He had originally thought that some powerful person had invaded, but now that the threat had been eliminated, he naturally couldn't be bothered with such mundane matters.
"Just asking?" Wei Dabao naturally didn't believe it, but since his godfather wouldn't say, he didn't dare to press further.
