She paused for a moment and then said, "If the emperor himself were in the palace, I wouldn't dare to take such a risk."
Zu An's eyes lit up. Remembering the task assigned by the emperor, he hurriedly asked, "How did you know the emperor wasn't in the palace?"
Yun Jianyue glanced at him indifferently, clearly not intending to answer.
Zuan hadn't expected the tables to turn so quickly, so he could only say, "At worst, I'll trade you intelligence. Weren't you just curious about how I knew about those guards beforehand?"
A mocking smile appeared on Yun Jianyue's lips: "No trade, the two are not equal. Of course, even if there were equal information, I would not trade with you, I would not betray that person."
Seeing her determination, Zu'an felt somewhat dejected; it seemed he would have to think of another way.
"How did you meet Hong Lei?" Yun Jianyue suddenly looked at the embroidered messenger in front of her with some curiosity. She knew her female disciple's situation best. On the surface, she was kind to everyone and made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, but in her heart, she was extremely proud and looked down on other men. She was just playing games with those people.

Once you've built up enough goodwill, let him know that you're not so easy to get something for nothing.
What is the most expensive thing in the world? Often, the things that are free are the most expensive.
“We met in Brightmoon City.”
Upon hearing his answer, Yun Jianyue's heart skipped a beat: "You are Zu An?"
Zuan was somewhat surprised and casually took off the mask from his face: "I didn't expect you to know me."
"Hmph, it's hard not to know you." Yun Jianyue thought of the intelligence she received a few months ago: Qiu Honglei planned to marry into the Chu family as this guy's concubine. At the time, she really believed her nonsense and thought that she was plotting against the Chu family.
However, during Zu An's journey to the capital, Qiu Honglei showed him mercy on several occasions, which was noticed by the other members of the sect.
Given this incident, it would be strange if the two of them were alright.
Just as Zu An was about to speak, Zhu Xie Chixin's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Eleven, are you there?"
