Seeing the youthful and energetic Xiao Zhao, Zu An felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Back in Mingyue City, she always gave people endless motivation and encouragement in the same way.
"How are you so amazing? One punch and you take down a master. Those guys could beat my dad like he's his grandson..." Chu Huanzhao chattered on, gesturing about what had just happened.
Qin Wanru was speechless. How could you talk about your own father like that?
On the contrary, Chu Youzhao couldn't stand it anymore: "Second sister, if Father heard this, he would be furious with you."
Chu Huanzhao rolled his eyes: "If he's not convinced, let him tell you, of those people Brother Zu just wiped out, which one could he beat?"
Chu Youzhao and Qin Wanru both gasped for breath. What you said makes so much sense.
In the end, Chu Youzhao couldn't swallow her anger and retorted, "Father can at least beat those guest ministers and guards from the royal palace, right?"
Qin Wanru rubbed her forehead. Are you praising your father or making fun of him?
Your father really raised two wonderful daughters.
"How could that be? I've heard that among those guest elders are some at the peak of the Grandmaster level. Beating up my father would be a piece of cake for them!" Chu Huanzhao snorted.
"Father was injured before, but he's still capable of fighting even if he wasn't injured!" Chu Youzhao exclaimed anxiously.
“I’m talking about now, not before. Besides, even before, Father probably couldn’t beat a Grandmaster at the peak.” Chu Huanzhao was quick-witted and eloquent, and in a short time, he overwhelmed his sister.
The two sisters were arguing fiercely, and Murong Qinghe took the opportunity to come to Zu An's side: "Brother Zu, I don't know how to thank you enough for the Murong family to be spared this time."
The Murong family originally thought they were going to be wiped out, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. The Crown Princess had promised to reinstate them to their original positions, though they might only receive some symbolic punishment.
She knew perfectly well that all of this was done out of respect for Zu An.
Zu An smiled and said, "Qinghe, you flatter me. Not to mention your relationship with You Zhao, I feel a connection with you yourself. Moreover, I admire Mr. Murong's integrity and will naturally help him if I can."
Murong Qinghe's heart pounded. He ignored everything else and only remembered one sentence: "Brother Zu said that we are compatible." What did he mean? Was he implying something?
But how could I possibly let down Brother Chu...
At this moment, Chu Huanzhao was drawn to their conversation and came over to say, "By the way, it was the Crown Princess who rescued us from the prison today. She's such a nice person, not only kind but also incredibly beautiful. Brother-in-law, you face such a perfect boss every day, don't you ever fall for her?"
Zuan: "..."
Qin Wanru was startled and quickly covered her mouth: "You're going to die! How dare you say such things? If outsiders hear this, it will be a disaster!"
Chu Huanzhao struggled to break free from her grasp: "What are you afraid of? Now that my brother-in-law is here, who would dare to bully us? Besides, the Crown Princess is such a good person, why would she get angry over something like this?"
Chu Youzhao, standing to the side, coldly said, "I think you're wrong. My brother-in-law is very handsome and has high cultivation. It must be the Crown Princess who likes him. How could it be my brother-in-law who took the initiative?"
Murong Qinghe chimed in, "That's right, I also think it's more likely that the Crown Princess likes Brother Zu."
Hearing the girls discussing these things so seriously, Qin Wanru was practically smitten.
"Young ladies, don't talk nonsense."
“Brother-in-law, I’ll take you as my master from now on,” Chu Huanzhao said, but regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth. “Pah, pah, pah, I don’t want you to be my master. You’re my brother-in-law, so what’s wrong with you teaching me cultivation?”
"Alright!" Zu An had originally planned to train her properly, as this girl was really a terrible student, and her current cultivation level looked rather pitiful.
"Brother-in-law, I want one too!" Chu Youzhao said, not to be outdone.
Zuan nodded: "Okay."
You Zhao is also quite good. After arriving in the capital, she became very close to him, so naturally, he shouldn't favor one over the other.
"Brother Zu, can you take me in?" Murong Qinghe's eyes also shone with a captivating light. She had always loved cultivation, and now that she was learning from such a powerful master, wouldn't her progress be even faster?
“Okay…” Zuan started to feel the pressure, but since they were all so familiar with each other, it wasn’t easy to refuse.
Qin Wanru, who was standing to the side, opened her mouth. In fact, she was also a little tempted, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to ask her son-in-law to be her teacher. She could only sit there and sulk with her daughter.
Zu An finally managed to extricate himself from the Qin family and went straight into the palace to the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
The Crown Princess gave the order: "Lord Zu wants to discuss confidential matters with me. Everyone else, step back. Momo, you stay outside and guard the area. Do not allow anyone to enter."
"What if it's the Crown Prince or the Empress..." Rong Mo was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
“I’m talking about anyone!” Bi Linglong gave her a cold look.
"Yes!" Rong Mo's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly told the others to step back, and then stood guard outside himself.
In the past, Bi Linglong would never have dared to make such an arrangement. In the dead of night, a man and a woman alone in a room would definitely attract criticism.
But no one seems to think there's anything wrong with it today.
After all, Zu An's previous actions in the Meng family were too sensational, and everyone knew that the Crown Princess would definitely take the opportunity to win over Lord Zu An, so there were naturally many confidential matters to discuss.
In addition, given Zu'an's previous murderous aura, the eunuchs and palace maids now looked at him with a hint of fear, and almost no one would think in that direction.
In the Crown Princess's palace, Zu An gazed at the beautiful young woman dressed in casual clothes before him. Her fair and exquisite face was flawless, and her silk dress accentuated her graceful and slender figure.
The moment their eyes met, the two young bodies embraced tightly.
