“There have been changes within the sect, so we need to return early,” Yun Jianyue replied coldly. She planned to take the person back first and then explain to her slowly, to avoid making a scene here.
She twisted her waist unnaturally as she spoke, feeling sticky and uncomfortable.
Upon hearing of the change in the sect, Qiu Honglei's expression changed slightly. However, she was not the kind of person who would be unreasonable, so she no longer refused to go back: "I only have one request, I want to see Azu before I leave."
For some reason, Yun Jianyue felt a little irritated upon hearing this, and snorted: "Being obsessed with men all day long will only delay your cultivation."
Qiu Honglei retorted without backing down, "That's because you, Master, don't know the beauty of love between men and women..."
Seeing the other person raise their eyebrows, she decisively changed her words: "Ahem, a person like Master doesn't care about any man in the world. I am not yet at that level. I will devote myself to cultivation after I return this time."
Yun Jianyue finally relaxed her brows: "Hmph, let Leng Shuangyue go with you, so she won't do anything to disgrace the family again."
Qiu Honglei blushed, thinking to herself, "We are known as the Demonic Sect by everyone in the world. What kind of reputation do we have?"
However, she dared not say these words aloud. She hurriedly ran outside, and when she reached the door, she suddenly turned back and looked at Yun Jianyue: "Master, are you alright?"
"What could possibly happen to me?" Yun Jianyue snorted, awkwardly pulling the blanket over her legs, thinking that she would have to take a bath later.
Qiu Honglei's eyes were filled with doubt. She always felt that her master was a bit strange these days. Usually, she was as aloof as the bright moon in the sky, giving people a natural sense of distance. But today, she seemed to have a worldly air about her, and her alluring demeanor even made Qiu Honglei, a woman, feel a little moved...
She quickly shook her head. "I must be overthinking it. How could someone like my master have any problems?"
She rushed to Zu'an's room, where the maid Leng Shuangyue stood guard at the door, watching the two of them: "This is the leader's order. I hope the Holy Maiden will not make things difficult for me."
"So annoying." Qiu Honglei waved her hand and went into the house helplessly.
Now, there was a luxurious inn in the capital, a place that was a necessary stop on the way from the Imperial Music Bureau to the palace.
A young nobleman stood by the slightly ajar window on the second floor, looking out at the street. He frowned and said, "Why has it been so long? Why hasn't Zu'an arrived yet? Those two guards from the Eastern Palace have been passing by for ages."
A subordinate replied, "We've already sent people to investigate. We heard that Zu'an booked over a dozen courtesans last night and is catching up on sleep right now."
"Hmph, this guy is quite the ladies' man," the young nobleman sneered. "Unfortunately, this is probably his last time to be so dashing."
