Zheng Dan said with some worry, "But the other party is the most powerful emperor. How are you going to deal with that?"
Pei Mianman nodded in agreement: "Yes, in my opinion, you should hide for a while. You know, the Emperor doesn't have many years left to live. It might be much better for you to come out after he passes away."
“It would be too late then,” Zuan shook his head, and seeing the two women’s worried eyes, he smiled slightly. “Do I look like a fool to you?”
"If you're an idiot, then there aren't many smart people in the world." Pei Mianman snorted, and couldn't help but glance at Zheng Dan beside her. She thought to herself, not only did she make Chu Yan her wife, but she also lured away such a beautiful daughter-in-law from the Sang family. If she's an idiot, then what is Sang Qian?
“That settles it then. I have my own plans, but I can’t explain them yet. But you can rest assured, I’m quite confident about them,” Zu’an explained.
Seeing that he said that, the two women were finally relieved. Then the group walked back. When the Sang family father and daughter saw them, they were surprised: "Where is the dragon?"
“Of course I killed him,” Zuan snorted.
"How is this possible!" Sang Qian exclaimed in surprise. He had been counting on that dragon to destroy Zu'an. He thought that only two heartbroken beauties would return this time, but he never expected that Zu'an would survive.
"Otherwise, would that dragon have let me go?" Zuan rolled his eyes. "By the way, does Young Master Sang really want me dead?"
"No, no, you've misunderstood." Sang Qian's expression changed, and he hurriedly explained with an embarrassed smile.
"Oh? Who was it that was talking badly about me in front of that dragon just now?" Zuan snorted, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Sang Qian was speechless for a moment. Normally, he would not bother to explain, but after seeing the heroic battle between Zu An, Ding Run, and the giant dragon, and now that even the dragon was dead, he wondered if Zu An had some powerful trump card. He dared not offend him, but in his haste, he could not think of a suitable reason.
It was her younger sister, Sang Qian, who reacted quickly. She said, "I hope you will forgive me, Brother Zu. My brother is always impulsive and speaks his mind without thinking. He often doesn't realize the serious consequences he might cause. He was just answering the old man's question subconsciously. I didn't expect him to be here to avenge our clan."
Zuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Miss Sang, your ability to lie through your teeth is truly remarkable."
Sang Qian blushed. She knew all too well that this reason wouldn't convince everyone, but since the other party hadn't acted immediately, it proved that he didn't want to break off relations so quickly. In that case, a clear reason should be enough.
Sang Hong, who was standing nearby, also said, "My son's actions just now were indeed somewhat inappropriate. I apologize on his behalf, and I hope that Young Master Zu will not take offense, considering that we have fought side by side during this period."
Zu An fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons. Sang Qian and her brother were both fifth-rank, and Sang Hong had also recovered some of his fighting strength. It probably wouldn't be so easy if they really fought.
Furthermore, he might need Sang Hong's help with matters in the capital. After thinking it over, he smiled and said, "Alright, for the sake of Lord Sang and the beautiful Miss Sang, we'll leave this matter aside for now, but there won't be a next time."
He was thinking of finding another opportunity to deal with Sang Qian; now was not the time.
"Thank you, young master." Sang Hong cupped his hands in thanks.
Sang Qian, standing to the side, blushed slightly. This guy called her Miss Sang, and even added the word "beautiful." No wonder he managed to seduce his sister-in-law. He's definitely better at pleasing women than his brother.
Just then, bursts of laughter suddenly came from not far away: "It really came without any effort. I thought I would have a big battle with that old dragon, but I didn't expect him to be not here."
