"Really?" Jiang Luofu's heart skipped a beat. She quickly touched her face and pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "Oh, I guess I just ran into a group of demons who were causing trouble. I'm a little irritated after the battle."
Ji Xiaoxi couldn't help but steal a glance at her, thinking to herself, "My aunt used to teach me to be honest and not to lie, but now she seems to be quite good at lying herself."
Pei Mianman and the others were unaware of the situation and were genuinely startled, so they hurriedly asked what had happened.
Ji Xiaoxi then recounted what had just happened with great enthusiasm, her words filled with admiration for Zu'an.
Jiang Luofu was deeply moved; Xiao Xi had truly become a fan of Azu.
Fortunately, she was too cute, and had no aggressiveness whatsoever in terms of appearance or personality, so those women didn't seem to be afraid of Xiao Xi because of it.
Yun Yuqing was filled with righteous indignation and snorted: "Who told that Manager Pi to be a toad who wanted to eat swan meat? He dared to make a move on Sister Jiang and Xiao Xi. He should be taught a good lesson."
“But since that Steward Pi is the Demon Lord’s…lover,” Xie Daoyun blushed slightly, as she, a young woman, found this kind of relationship rather embarrassing to talk about, “Brother Zu, you’ve offended him, aren’t you afraid the Demon Lord will blame you?”
The other women also looked worried upon hearing this.
“It’s alright. The Demon Lord still needs me to infiltrate the Slaughter Lord’s side, so he won’t touch me for the time being,” Zu’an replied.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't wanted to collect herbs, none of this would have happened." Ji Xiaoxi was filled with self-reproach, tears welling up in her eyes, ready to fall at any moment.
The other girls comforted her, saying, "How can we blame you? You were just trying to help, and you successfully found the herbs. In the future, you will be able to refine a medicine to fight the demons, which will be of great use."
Zuan also comforted her, "Xiao Xi, don't think too much about it. The demon world is all about the strong, and it's necessary to show off your strength a little. Besides, based on the Grand Elder's description, I guess that Steward Pi is probably after me. He was just using this as an excuse to tease you."
"Are you worried that you'll steal his position as his male favorite?" Soren Shi was always intelligent and had been born into royalty. She quickly analyzed Steward Pi's motives.
The expressions on everyone's faces immediately became extremely strange.
Zuan also felt it was bad luck, and the matter was eventually resolved amidst laughter and joy.
He deliberately changed the subject and told everyone the information he had obtained from the Grand Elder.
Upon hearing that the ancestor of the demon race was a servant of the true demon race, and that the elder's words were full of contempt for the demon race, Yun Yuqing and Suolunshi's expressions turned somewhat ugly.
“You don’t need to take it to heart. This is just the Elder’s side of the story, and it may not be true,” Zu’an reassured him.
Sorenshi smiled bitterly: "True demons can activate our ancient bloodlines, so they are obviously beings of a higher level than us."
Yun Yuqing's expression also turned somewhat somber. No matter what, the bloodline of a servant always gives one a sense of inferiority.
Zuan said seriously, "I have always opposed the theory of bloodline. Just because one has a noble bloodline, does that mean one will always be powerful and have the most power? Are kings and generals born with a special destiny? Personal effort is equally important. Haven't you seen how many kings and generals in history have perished, and there are always new strongmen who rise to the top and then establish new countries or families?"
The women nodded in agreement, thinking that although the many adventures that Brother Zu had encountered were important, what was even more important was that he had a strong and indomitable heart.
Yun Yuqing and Suolunshi were indeed invigorated: "Brother Zu is right. We are born between heaven and earth, how can we accept our fate because of these things!"
Unbeknownst to them, they were all highly motivated and began to study the secrets revealed by the Grand Elder.
"What is the Heavenly Court that the Grand Elder mentioned?"
Hearing the women's doubts, Zu'an shared some information he knew: "I've heard some legends about the Heavenly Court, but I don't know if they're true."
He then gave a general account of the gods in the Heavenly Court that he had learned about in his previous life, and the women listened with repeated exclamations of amazement.
"There are such detailed Heavenly Court positions. This is obviously not something that can be explained by ordinary rumors. Brother Zu, where did you hear this from?" Yun Yuqing asked curiously.
“That’s right. I seem to have heard of some of the gods, but most of them are ones I haven’t heard of before. However, they are described in great detail and are not just figments of imagination.” Jiang Luofu was also somewhat puzzled. As a law master in the academy, she was required to be knowledgeable. Among the women present, probably no one had read more books than her.
Zuan originally wanted to fabricate a story that he had seen it in some ancient books from secret realms, but he was worried that he could not fool the knowledgeable Jiang Luofu, and even more afraid of misleading them, so he replied: "I often dream of another world, and these stories are from that world."
He couldn't very well say that he had traveled through time, so this was the only answer he could give.
Upon hearing this, the women looked even more surprised.
"How could I have such a strange dream?"
"But the scene in this dream is very detailed, unlike an ordinary dream. Could these be some memories from Brother Zu's past life?"
"Ah Zu is indeed extraordinary. I had heard that some powerful beings, as their strength gradually increases, will gradually awaken some memories from their past lives. I used to scoff at this idea, but I never expected it to be true!"
"I wonder what kind of important figure Brother Zu was in his previous life, and what world he came from?"
"I think that my great-grandfather is just my great-grandfather, and not some reincarnation of someone else."
...
Hearing the women chattering and their increasingly outrageous discussions, Zu An hurriedly interrupted them: "Actually, I also came into contact with the Heavenly Court in a secret realm."
He then gave a brief account of his encounter in the secret realm of the demon royal tomb.
