Murong Qinghe was, after all, a young girl, and unable to suppress her embarrassment, she quickly said, "I'll go back now."
After saying that, her face flushed, she rushed out the door and fled with the servants waiting outside.
Watching her leave, Chu Chuyan finally couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, what are you up to? You knew all about You Zhao... yet you still let them consummate their marriage?"
Zuan smiled slightly: "Do you really think she'll agree?"
Chu Chuyan was stunned for a moment before realizing that Murong Qinghe, who came from a prestigious family, would never agree to a premarital wedding night.
Zuan then explained, "In this way, no one will suspect that You Zhao is a woman disguised as a man, and Murong Qinghe will be your strongest supporter from now on."
Chu Youzhao suddenly revealed a sadness beyond her years: "It's a pity that I still lied to her. I wonder how much she will hate me when she finds out the truth in the future."
Zu An wondered if love really makes people mature prematurely.
At this moment, Chu Chuyan also said, "That's right, we have indeed lost a lot of money to Xiao Qinghe, so we're asking you, Grandfather, if you could help her with this, otherwise we'd feel bad about it."
Zu An smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I don't care about Murong Luo. I will try to save him."
Chu Chuyan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him gently: "Auntie, you are so kind."
Chu Youzhao, who was standing to the side, subconsciously crossed her arms and rubbed them together: "Ugh~ This is so cheesy. Fine, I won't stay here and bother you. I'm going to sleep now. But could you please be a little quieter?"
After saying that, as if afraid of being beaten, he grinned and ran away in a flash.
Chu Chuyan was both embarrassed and anxious: "It's all your fault, she makes me laugh at her every time."
"I'll spank her tomorrow to vent your anger," Zu'an laughed, pulling her into his arms.
Chu Chuyan blushed and spat, "You just want to take advantage of her."
Zu An's face hardened: "How dare you question my character! I will punish you with family discipline!"
"What family rules?" Chu Chuyan's usually cold eyes were now glistening with tears, and a gentle smile played on her lips.
"Whipping!" Zu An leaned close to her ear and gently kissed her cool, round earlobe.
Chu Chuyan trembled all over, and her whole body went limp.
This guy always touches her sensitive spots.
The icy fairy who stood before everyone had now been completely melted and fallen into the mortal world...
The next morning, Zu An left home feeling refreshed and headed towards the palace. Chu Chuyan was truly a woman who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Everyone thought she was a strong woman who kept people at arm's length, after all, she had a good reputation in managing the Chu family over the years.
But only he knew what kind of softness was hidden inside the other person's hard shell.
In fact, she is a woman full of girlish heart and all kinds of pink fantasies, otherwise she would not have been so obsessed with romance novels like "The Overbearing Sword Immortal's Ninety-Nine Days of Desire".
Thinking of the touching moments when Chu Chuyan sang softly last night, a gentle smile appeared on Zu An's face.
"Huh, why is the street so deserted today? Haven't they all gotten up yet?" He noticed that the usually bustling street was now desolate. Just as he was wondering about this, a sudden sense of alarm rose in his heart, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a dark light shooting towards him from the side.
He hurriedly dodged to the side, but the dark light shot out too fast, much faster than the crossbow bolts from the night elves he had encountered on his way to the capital.
Even so, with his current cultivation level, he could easily dodge it; at most, he would be in a bit of a sorry state.
But just as he was about to dodge, he felt a sharp pain in his head, as if someone were pricking him with a needle.
Although he recovered in just a moment, the dark light had already reached him in that instant.
Only then did he realize that it was a huge bow and arrow. Although it was called a bow and arrow, it was much thicker and longer than a normal bow and arrow, almost as thick as an adult's arm!
Siege crossbow!
A word popped into Zaun's mind: he couldn't understand why such heavy military weaponry would be here.
In his haste, Zuan could only try his best to avoid vital points, and then the huge arrow struck him directly in the right chest.
boom!
The immense force of that instant felt like being hit directly by a speeding train.
He was thrown away by the immense force and pinned to the wall next to him.
"Hmph, you make this guy sound so powerful, but he still got taken down by a single siege crossbow bolt."
"Quickly dismantle the siege crossbows; we can't leave any evidence against them. You guys, go and cut off his head."
"Wow, this guy's body is really tough. If a cultivator is hit head-on by a siege crossbow, half of his body will be shattered."
...
The sounds around him came one after another, but Zu'an did not open his eyes. Instead, he used the jade cong to observe everything around him by observing the birds in the distant trees.
Not far away, a hole appeared in the window of a second-floor house, revealing a huge crossbow, with several men in black appearing and disappearing in the distance.
A few men stayed behind to quickly dismantle the ballista, while two others, dressed in black and carrying knives, rushed towards Zu'an.
Zuan frowned slightly. The power of that attack was simply too great, especially since the siege crossbow bolts were covered in various runes, clearly indicating that they were enhanced by a special formation.
Fortunately, Zuan's body had been tempered by the "Primordial Chaos Scripture" and was now incredibly strong, which was why it wasn't torn apart by the impact at that moment, and it was also rapidly repairing his injured parts.
Although he survived, the immense impact was still damaging his meridians, and it would probably take him another ten seconds or so to regain his fighting ability.
