"What should we do about Elder Qi later?" Yan Xuehen suddenly looked at the middle-aged Daoist nun who had fainted to the side and asked with great concern.
Although she didn't see the whole process, she was knocked unconscious by Zuan right at the beginning, and she would definitely suspect what the two of them did when she woke up.
"I'm leaving this to you. After all, this is your territory," Zu'an replied with a smile.
"Leave it to me?" Yan Xuehen almost fainted from anger. "How can you be so irresponsible?"
“I can handle it. Just destroy the evidence.” Zuan’s expression turned serious.
"No!" Yan Xuehen's face paled, and she hurriedly stopped him. "Let me handle it."
How could she possibly harm her fellow disciples for her own selfish desires?
...
When Elder Qi slowly awoke, a look of confusion flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his senses and immediately drew his weapon to prepare for battle.
"Elder Qi, don't be nervous." A cool voice came from the side.
Elder Qi looked closely and found Yan Xuehen sitting beside her, watching her. She was both surprised and delighted: "Master, are you alright?"
"Yes, thanks to the Regent's all-out... rescue just now." Recalling the scene just now, Yan Xuehen's toes involuntarily twitched, but fortunately, her self-control was extremely high, so she did not reveal any flaws.
Elder Qi glanced at Zu An not far away, then quickly pulled Yan Xuehen aside and quietly asked, "Master, he wasn't rude to you just now, was he?"
Countless images flashed through Yan Xuehen's mind. It wasn't just rude, it was utterly rude.
However, he replied aloud, "Of course not."
After she finished speaking, her cheeks felt a little hot. She had never lied before, but ever since she met this devil, she had been lying more and more often.
"But he knocked me unconscious as soon as he came in..." Elder Qi said, while subconsciously looking down to check his clothes.
Seeing this from afar, Zu'an's eyelids twitched. Was he worried that I might do something to you?
Dream on!
Yan Xuehen secretly explained, "The Regent just explained to me that his technique is extremely special and cannot be revealed. He only agreed to let you in because he didn't want to delay the time to save me. I hope Elder Qi won't mind."
"But..." Elder Qi was somewhat doubtful. With Abbess Yan being so beautiful and the Regent seemingly being a notorious playboy, could they really remain unmoved?
Seeing her expression, Yan Xuehen seemed to guess what she was thinking: "What are you thinking? He is Chu Yan's husband, and in a sense, I am also his master. How could I be thinking what you're thinking?"
She felt inexplicably guilty as she said this. Everyone else in the world was indeed like that, showing great respect for their teachers. But this guy was incredibly audacious, only daring to do things like riding a horse to the death.
Elder Qi smiled with relief. Indeed, although Abbess Yan was beautiful, given her master-disciple relationship with Chu Yan, how could the Regent dare to do anything?
Even if the regent did something monstrous, can't we trust Master Yan's character?
Given her aloof nature, she wouldn't even give Zhao Hao face back then. If there really was something between them, how could her expression be so natural?
Alas, we were judging others by our own petty standards.
She rose and bowed respectfully to Zuan: "Thank you, Regent, for saving our abbot."
Zuan sighed: "As long as you don't misunderstand me as a demon, that's fine."
Elder Qi felt even more ashamed: "We were being pedantic."
Yan Xuehen glared fiercely at Zu An from behind, saying, "That's enough."
This guy can lie without batting an eye.
"Elder Ming and the others are getting impatient waiting outside. I'll go out and tell them," Elder Qi suggested.
"Let's go together, I'm sorry to have worried everyone." Yan Xuehen had only taken one step when her expression suddenly changed slightly, and she hurriedly used her inner energy to suppress something.
At this moment, Elder Qi suddenly twitched his nostrils. Yan Xuehen's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"I always felt there was a strange smell, but I can't smell it now. Maybe it was just my imagination after I was unconscious," Elder Qi said apologetically.
Yan Xuehen was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground. Fortunately, Zu An had used his skills to dispel the ambiguous atmosphere in the room before the other party woke up, but unexpectedly, there was still a little bit left.
At this moment, the cave entrance was opened, and the dense crowd outside gathered around upon hearing the commotion. Seeing Yan Xuehen standing there as ethereal as ever, they were overjoyed: "Has the Abbot recovered?"
Many people's eyes flashed with amazement. Although they had seen the abbot countless times, each time they met him, they had a different experience.
Today, the abbot's face had a rosy glow compared to usual; the fairy-like figure from the clouds now resembled a beauty of unparalleled grace on earth.
Yan Xuehen nodded and said, "It's all thanks to the Regent's unique secret method."
The people of Baiyujing bowed to Zu'an and said, "Thank you, Regent!"
Elder Ming took the opportunity to secretly send a telepathic message to ask, "Elder Qi, was there anything unusual inside just now?"
"No...no." Elder Qi hesitated for a moment before telling the truth, but then he thought that although everyone in Baiyujing believed in the abbot's conduct, once the news spread, who knew what people would think? Not only would the abbot's reputation be damaged, but Baiyujing would also be implicated.
Since that's the case, I'd rather not say anything.
Elder Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving her answer.
"You're too kind, everyone. Abbot Yan is Chu Yan's master and also my good friend. I should save her both personally and professionally." Zu An stood behind Yan Xuehen and secretly held her hand to play with it.
