Zuan raised an eyebrow. What did this guy mean?
Sang Qian blushed, secretly glanced at Zu An, and whispered, "They're already married."
Shen Xuzi's smile grew even brighter: "That's good, that's good. It will prevent the young lady from spending all her time on romance and being unable to devote herself wholeheartedly to scientific research."
Zuan: "..."
Sang Qian: "..."
Zheng Dan: "..."
Shen Xuzi was also somewhat puzzled at this moment. As far as he knew, Zheng Dan had also been married and was a widow.
Now that Sang Qian is married, why is Zu An still so close to them? Could it be that he likes married women?
Should I suggest to my junior sister that she get married first?
Next, Shen Xuzi took Sang Qian on a tour of his courtyard, mainly to show off the mechanical puppetry skills he was usually proud of.
When a student wants to perform well to gain the teacher's attention, isn't the teacher the same way?
Sure enough, Sang Qian quickly became interested, her eyes filled with curiosity, regretting that she hadn't come here to learn sooner.
Seeing that the two quickly began to discuss academic matters, Zu An stopped disturbing them, bid them farewell, and then took Zheng Dan to Yan Xiangu's cave.
"Brother Zu!" Xie Daoyun was overjoyed to hear that Zu An had come, especially after hearing about the exaggerated strength he had displayed yesterday.
Although I had some understanding of his strength in the secret realm before, I never expected him to be this powerful. In some ways, he was even comparable to Zhao Hao's imposing aura back then.
It's a pity that I've been focused on studying the talisman techniques I obtained in the secret realm and haven't had much time to meet with Brother Zu. I never expected that he would come by himself today.
Is this fate's arrangement...?
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Xie Daoyun's little face turned rosy.
Yan Xiangu, who was walking behind, rolled his eyes. He finally understood the heartache that fathers who had daughters would face in the future.
The precious girl, whom they cherished and protected, was tricked away by the blond-haired man.
Although he and Xie Daoyun were only master and apprentice, not father and daughter, and Zu An was not Huang Mao, the feeling was really similar.
"I brought your junior sister with me this time. She was delayed by some things before, but she will study hard from now on. As her senior sister, you should help her out." Zu An pulled Zheng Dan over.
"Okay." Xie Daoyun noticed that when Zuan pulled Zheng Dan just now, he did it very naturally, and Zheng Dan didn't react strangely either. She felt a little jealous. It seems that the relationship between the two is closer than she thought.
"I'll have to trouble you from now on, Senior Sister." As she looked Zheng Dan up and down, Zheng Dan was also looking her up and down. As members of the upper class of Bright Moon City, the two naturally knew each other. However, it was hard to say how good their relationship was back then; they were just ordinary friends. Unexpectedly, they had reconnected because of Azu.
The last time Ah Zu brought her here, the two had already met and had some guesses in their hearts. Now, seeing the way she looked at Ah Zu with such light in her eyes, how could she not understand?
Ah, I really envy her. She can express her love for Ah Zu without any restraint, unlike me, who can only bury this love in my heart in front of others because of my status.
Hearing her address her as "senior sister," Xie Daoyun felt a sense of satisfaction. In front of Chu Chuyan, Pei Mianman, and the others, she could only call them "sister." Now, finally, someone would call her "sister," even if it was just "senior sister"...
At this moment, Yan Xiangu said, "Alright, Daoyun, you should teach your junior sister what you learned when you first started. After she has mastered it, I will teach her other things."
"Yes~" Xie Daoyun was actually very busy at the moment. If she were asked to take care of other disciples, she would most likely be unwilling.
But Zheng Dan is different; he is not only a fellow townsman of Mingyue City, but also a friend of Brother Zu.
Next, Xie Daoyun took Zheng Dan to familiarize herself with the environment, introducing her along the way what she would need to get started.
Yan Xiangu then chatted with Zu An: "Chancellor, you really surprise me. You are so young. Logically speaking, even if you started cultivating from the womb, it would be impossible for you to have reached this level."
Zu An smiled slightly: "The path of cultivation emphasizes enlightenment; otherwise, wouldn't people be more advanced the older they are?"
"That's true, I was being old-fashioned." Yan Xiangu smiled, then suddenly said, "Having witnessed your fighting prowess yesterday, I suppose you and your teacher teamed up to deal with that person in the secret realm back then?"
Zu An thought to himself that, just as Liu Ning had said, countless people in the capital city would have the same suspicion.
"Both of them are now deceased, so what does it matter whether they are or not?"
Hearing his ambiguous answer, Yan Xiangu didn't mind: "What the Master says is true. I was too persistent. Since the Master will pass the position of Master to you, it proves that you are a trustworthy partner. Other things are not important."
Zuan had to admire him. It seemed that the old chief priest's disciples didn't care much about the imperial power. If others knew this, they would probably have called it treason, but it was clear that he really didn't care.
"By the way, if we hadn't come last night, would the Demon-Slaying Formation have been able to trap the High Priest?" Yan Xiangu's eyes were burning with a hint of competitiveness, after all, he was largely responsible for that formation.
Of course, without the resources of the entire nation, the grand formation would not be able to exert its full power.
After a moment's thought, Zuan replied, "That great formation did indeed give me a sense of crisis. If I were to face it head-on, I'm afraid I would be in great danger."
Yan Xiangu understood the meaning behind his words: "Does the Grand Master mean to kill those Eight Dukes in advance so that they cannot fully activate the formation? That is indeed feasible, but the Eight Dukes have an extraordinary status in the empire. Killing one or two is fine, but if they kill too many and become enemies of the whole country, then there will be no restraint in activating the formation completely."
