Chu Chuyan was able to leave the Qin family smoothly this time because she came to find out about the assassins in the palace.
Zu An was a retainer of the Crown Prince, so he should know some inside information, which is why the Qin family tacitly allowed her to come out.
Of course, Chu Chuyan and her parents shared the same thoughts: they only wanted to remain neutral and did not want to get involved in the struggle for the throne. However, Chu Youzhao had been raised in her maternal grandfather's house since childhood and had developed a deep affection for the Qi King's faction under the influence of what she saw and heard. Naturally, she subconsciously spoke up for the Qi King.
According to information obtained by the Qin family, some of the assassins captured yesterday initially put on a brave and unyielding act, but after a round of severe torture, they confessed, and all of them revealed that they were sent by the King of Qi.
This made things very serious, and the entire Qi King's faction was in an uproar. If this matter was not handled properly, the entire Qi King's faction might collapse completely.
Chu Youzhao felt the same way and cursed how despicable and shameless the assassins who framed her last night were.
Hiding behind the screen, Qiu Honglei found the sounds extremely grating and felt very displeased. Due to her emotional fluctuations, some of her breath was leaked out.
Chu Chuyan, now a seventh-rank expert, immediately sensed something was wrong.
She didn't suspect Zu An. Her first reaction was that someone had infiltrated the palace to harm him, after all, he possessed the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra," and many people coveted it. In addition, he was a retainer of the Crown Prince, and she heard that the accident involving the sixth young master of the Shi family, who was also a retainer of the Crown Prince, in the palace yesterday was related to him. She was worried that the Shi family had sent assassins to retaliate.
In an instant, she flew away, using her fingers as a sword, and a surge of sword energy shot towards the back of the screen.
Almost instantly, the screen was shattered into pieces by the sword energy, and a figure flashed out. The two exchanged several blows in an instant.
Qiu Honglei is, after all, a holy maiden of a sect. Her skills and cultivation are among the best of her peers, and she will not fall behind in the short term.
Chu Youzhao excitedly rolled up her sleeves and rushed over: "Sister, let me help you!"
Where in the capital could one find such an opportunity on a normal day? Most people wouldn't dare to fight her for real. Murong Qinghe was actually quite good, with high cultivation and ruthless attacks, but she always held back when fighting me, which was really boring.
The last time she went to her brother-in-law's place, she encountered an assassin, which was too dangerous. Today is different. With her sister and brother-in-law by her side to take care of her, her safety is guaranteed. So she was extremely excited and wanted to rush over.
Zuan grabbed her head and said, "Why are you meddling in this? You'll only cause trouble."
"Don't touch my head." Chu Youzhao tried to hit him with her claws, but unfortunately, she was petite and couldn't reach Zu An even when she stretched out her arms. She only managed to grab some air after waving her arms for a while.
Anger from Chu Youzhao: +233 +233 +233...
At this moment, Chu Chuyan on the other side also stopped: "It's you?"
There was some misunderstanding at first, but after exchanging so many blows, I had already seen through her appearance. She was the most beautiful courtesan in the Immortal Abode of Bright Moon City, and we later fought side by side on the way to the capital. How could I not recognize her?
Qiu Honglei hummed in agreement: "Hello, Miss Chu."
She was also a little confused at this moment and didn't know what to say.
"Oh, we know each other." Chu Youzhao was immediately disappointed when she heard their conversation. She couldn't bring herself to fight anymore and slapped Zu An's hand away in a huff.
Zuan wanted to step forward and say something, but his survival instinct made him realize that it was best not to walk into the line of fire at this moment.
"What brings Miss Qiu here? Could it be that you still have your mind on Azu's 'Phoenix Nirvana Sutra'?" Chu Chuyan frowned. She naturally knew the other party's identity as the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect. She still vividly remembered the incident when the Demonic Sect's experts tried to rob Zu'an on the way to the capital.
If Qiu Honglei hadn't openly and secretly helped Zu'an back then, how could she have stopped so quickly now?
Qiu Honglei coughed lightly: "Since I've come all the way to the capital, I naturally have to visit some old friends."
The reason was indeed reasonable, but Chu Chuyan felt that something was wrong. Suddenly, she remembered the strange smell she had smelled when she entered the room, and a thought struck her. She said, "You haven't wiped the stuff off your face yet."
Qiu Honglei was extremely embarrassed and instinctively touched her face, but there was nothing there: "You lied..."
She realized halfway through her sentence that she had fallen for a trap.
Zuan, standing to the side, also gasped. It was surprising that Chu Chuyan, who usually seemed as pure as ice crystal, had such a cunning side.
Chu Chuyan's expression turned cold as expected. She snorted and looked at Zu An.
Anger from Chu Chuyan: +256 +256 +256...
That bastard! I was just worried about his health and felt a little guilty for not fulfilling my obligations, but here he is, having a great time cheating on me with another woman.
Zuan gave an awkward smile: "Chu Yan..."
Chu Chuyan didn't want to listen to his explanation at all, and looked directly at Qiu Honglei: "If I remember correctly, Miss Qiu is still a virgin and unmarried. Now she is actually going to a married man's house to play... playing these things. People of the Demonic Sect really do not follow the rules."
Chu Youzhao, who was standing to the side, was also a very intelligent person. Although she did not understand what had happened, she could roughly guess that this woman was probably her sister's rival in love. Hmph, she looks like a vixen, she is definitely not a good person.
She chimed in, "Sister, you're only realizing this now? The Demonic Sect has always been this despicable and shameless!"
Although she and her sister often quarrel, they naturally stand together against outsiders in times like these.
Qiu Honglei was secretly furious, but her face was all smiles: "Yes, our Demonic Sect is despicable and shameless, naturally not as good as some self-proclaimed noble families. They recruit us into their homes as slaves when they have something to use, and then kick us out when they don't, severing all ties completely, afraid of being implicated in the slightest. In the end, it's us, the demonesses of the Demonic Sect, who are always trying to find ways to rescue them. Ancestor, don't you think so?"
