Zuan smiled gently: "It did work, otherwise I wouldn't have received the Chief Priest, but a secret execution."
Chu Chuyan smiled and said, "You always know how to comfort me."
...
Not long after Chu Chuyan left, Zhen Xueyi, Jiang Boyang, and Murong Tong arrived together, along with Zhu Xie Chixin.
Seeing this scene, Zu An felt a chill run down his spine; it seemed that what was bound to happen had finally arrived.
The jailer led Zu An to a quiet room. Zhen Xueyi and the others did not sit down as usual, but waited quietly at the door.
Even Zhu Xie Chixin changed his usual deadpan expression and put away his arrogance.
Soon, the door was pushed open by an invisible force, and an old man in a blue robe slowly walked in from a distance.
His steps were slow, but he appeared in the quiet room almost the next second. The sense of spatial distortion in that instant made my eyes sore and swollen.
Zuan sized up this legendary figure, but his appearance could only be described as ordinary; he was the kind of person who would be easily overlooked in a crowd.
In comparison, Jiang Boyang and the others beside him were much more handsome and dashing, but these mature and refined handsome men became supporting characters to highlight him.
His eyes were incredibly deep, as if they had been forged through countless vicissitudes of life.
For a moment, Zuan forgot the other person's appearance; only those weathered and deep eyes remained in his mind.
"So you're Zu'an?" The chief priest didn't exchange pleasantries with Jiang Boyang and the others, not even nodding in acknowledgment. It was unclear whether he was disdainful or if his status didn't require such formality.
Jiang Boyang and the others showed no anger, as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "Zu'an, quickly pay your respects to the Grand Master."
Zu An bowed and said, "This junior greets the Grand Master."
It would be foolish to be arrogant in front of such a powerful person, especially since the other party's actions are related to his future.
The chief priest smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous. You only need to answer one question for me. Just follow your heart and don't resist."
In that instant, Zu'an felt as if he were bathed in a spring breeze, and he became extremely alert: "Please ask, Your Excellency!"
If the opponent is so powerful, forcibly using keys to fight back will most likely result in complete annihilation. So, we can only hope that the newly drawn skill will have a miraculous effect.
These days he has thought of how to cleverly use that seemingly useless skill, but he really has no idea whether he can get past the Chief Priest.
The Grand Master's eyes gleamed with a clear light: "Is your relationship with the Crown Princess innocent?"
"I have a friend..." Zuan was about to begin when he suddenly paused, realizing the question seemed...
He quickly replied, "Yes!"
The chief priest nodded slightly: "Truth, alright, I've finished asking."
After saying that, he turned to leave.

That's all for today. I'm feeling a bit down. Do men have those few days every month when they feel like nothing is interesting, life is dull and lacks fun...?
