Zuan was both shocked and furious. How did they know Yun Yuqing's identity as a demon? She had deliberately avoided using skills like the Heavenly Demon Eye from the very beginning, precisely because she was afraid of revealing her identity.
He had no time to think, because Yun Yuqing was already injured. There were many experts among the Embroidered Robe Envoys, and they were all proficient in combined attacks. With so many people, Yun Yuqing simply didn't have time to draw the talisman.
He couldn't stand by and watch her perish here, so he rushed over and blocked the attacks of the embroidered-robed messengers. He then took Yun Yuqing to a relatively open space and hurriedly said to Zhu Xiechixin, "Lord Zhu Xie, is there some misunderstanding? She is not a remnant of the demon race, but the Princess Consort of Wu."
Now we can only try to see if we can get away with this identity.
Zhu Xie Chixin snorted: "We have already found out that she is the Princess Consort of Wu, and also a remnant of the Demon Clan. Lord Zu, please don't make a mistake."
Zuan's heart sank; this was the worst-case scenario.
Yun Yuqing gently pushed him away: "Things have come to this point, don't make unnecessary sacrifices for me."
After saying this, she calmly walked out, her slender figure facing a large group of embroidered messengers who looked like wolves and tigers.
Zuan's expression shifted between light and dark. He knew that in the current situation, standing by and watching was the most sensible thing to do.
But the other person had been intimate with him and had saved his life twice, so how could he stand idly by?
He stepped forward and pulled Yun Yuqing back, taking a deep breath as he said to Zhu Xiechixin, "Commander Zhu Xie, even if she really is a demon, as a princess all these years, she has not done anything improper. On the contrary, she has always been well-behaved. Why do you have to keep pursuing her because of her identity? His Majesty has conquered the world and has tried his best to win the hearts of all races over the years. There are also many demons in the capital now. Hasn't His Majesty remained magnanimous and benevolent, allowing them to coexist harmoniously with humans?"
Zhu Xie Chixin said calmly, "The demon race is different from ordinary demon races, and the capture of Princess Wu is an order from the Emperor. Lord Zu's remarks just now are suspected of colluding with foreign races. Considering our past friendship, I, the commander, can let it go. Please step aside."
Zu'an fell silent. He felt the whole thing was too strange. How would the emperor know Yun Yuqing's identity? Could it be that she left some demonic aura behind when she used the Heavenly Demon Eye to deal with the Embroidered-Robed Envoy at the Wu Prince's mansion?
But how did they happen to know that Yun Yuqing was here?
Yun Yuqing transmitted her voice, saying, "Grandpa, thank you, but this matter has nothing to do with you. Please don't act impulsively."
After saying this, she looked at Zhu Xie Chixin, her eyes shining brightly with purple light: "I have long heard that Commander Zhu Xie is the number one person below the Grandmaster level. Today, I will have a good experience to learn from him."
