Seeing that she had agreed, Zu An breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss."
Nan Xun, who was standing to the side, also laughed: "Young master, Miss Kong usually doesn't get involved in these matters, but this time she's different for you."
"Nanxun!" came Kong Nanwu's voice from inside, trying to stop her. Nanxun stuck out her tongue and then stopped talking.
Zheng Dan was somewhat surprised. Judging from their tone, the courtesan sounded more like a maid.
But with such a great reputation and such an air about her, how could Nan Xun possibly be someone else's maid? She quickly put that thought out of her mind.
Zu An smiled and said, "Miss Kong, I have no way to repay your kindness. If you don't mind, I can offer myself to you."
Given his level of sophistication, he wouldn't be easily moved to tears by just a few words. Who knows if the master and servant were putting on a show to make him feel grateful?
Zheng Dan smiled. She and Zu An had known each other for so long that they knew each other inside and out—in every sense of the word. She could hear the teasing in his tone, so she naturally wouldn't be jealous.
Hearing his shameless words, the woman behind the curtain spat and ignored him completely. Then she looked up at Zheng Dan and said, "If I only know a little bit about this, I probably won't be able to help if the other party has a high level of cultivation."
“Miss Kong is too modest. Just do your best. I’m not the kind of person who makes trouble unnecessarily,” Zu An said.
Kong Nanwu was relieved: "Then let this girl sleep here for a while. When the evil spirit that is haunting her comes, I'll see if I can catch it for you."
“That might be a bit difficult…” Zuan briefly explained how he had scared away the evil creature. “I’m afraid it won’t dare to come here for a while.”
This is also the most troublesome thing for Zuan. There is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days if you are a thief for a thousand days.
Moreover, he's about to go to Yunzhong County, and he won't be able to protect Zheng Dan at all. It would be troublesome if the evil spirits made a comeback after a while.
"Young Master actually knows the method of exorcising evil?" Kong Nanwu was shocked. You should know that this kind of thing is very obscure. Human cultivators rarely come into contact with these things, let alone solve them.
"It was just a coincidence, and I didn't manage to catch it; it escaped." Zuan didn't want to reveal the matter of the "Primordial Chaos Scripture."
“This is a bit troublesome…” Kong Nanwu fell into deep thought, clearly considering how to deal with it.
Upon hearing her say this, Zheng Dan's heart skipped a beat, and disappointment immediately appeared on her face.
Zuan gently held her hand to comfort her. Nanxun, who was standing nearby, pouted but didn't say anything.
"I have an idea." At this moment, Kong Nanwu did not say anything more, but casually picked up a piece of talisman paper. Her hands flew up and down, and she quickly wove a small paper crane.
She then blew on it, and the paper crane seemed to come alive instantly, floating lightly into the air, then passing through the curtain and arriving in front of Zheng Dan.
"This is..." Zheng Dan was shocked. When had he ever seen such a magical technique?
"It's just a little trinket," Kong Nanwu's voice came, clearly not wanting anyone to know her identity as a demon. "It can sense the aura left by that evil spirit, and the other party shouldn't be anything powerful. It should be able to lead you to the person behind it all. However, I can't get involved in what happens next. I hope you'll understand, young master."
Zu An naturally understood her difficulties: "Thank you very much, young lady. I will always remember this kindness."
A soft laugh came from behind the beaded curtain: "This is much more sincere than offering yourself in marriage just now."
Zuan blushed, and even though he had a thick skin, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Fortunately, just then the flying paper crane moved. It circled Zheng Dan a few times, then flapped its wings and flew out the window in a certain direction.
"Hurry up and keep up, don't lose them. This aura is very faint, it probably won't last for a second search," Kong Nanwu reminded from behind the beaded curtain.
"Thank you!" Zu An cupped his hands in thanks to her, then flew out of the window with Zheng Dan in his arms.
Hearing the commotion, Sang Qian, who was waiting outside, rushed over. Seeing the two jump out of the window, she didn't even care that they were holding hands tightly together: "What happened?"
"I'll explain on the way. Follow that paper crane and we'll talk then." Zu An pointed to the paper crane in front of him. Actually, he had already seen clearly that it was not a paper crane, but a paper peacock. He didn't know how Kong Nanwu could be so skillful as to weave such an exquisite thing in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the paper peacock flapping its wings, Sang Qian's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and her red lips opened wide enough to fit an egg.
“She was stunned.” Zuan grabbed her hand and quickly followed behind the paper peacock.
"You can let go of me now." After a while, Sang Qian finally came to her senses and felt the heat on her wrist, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
He was holding the hands of his sister-in-law and aunt, one in each hand. If this happened to someone with ulterior motives, who knows what they would think?
Zuan, naturally, disdained to take advantage of her, and took the opportunity to recount what had just happened inside.
"Who is this Miss Kong? How could she have such great abilities?" Sang Qian was extremely shocked, and Zheng Dan also looked at him curiously.
“She doesn’t want others to know her background, so please forgive me for not being able to tell you,” Zuan said frankly.
“Fine, I won’t tell you then,” Sang Qian snorted. “But I can tell you have a close relationship with her. She doesn’t want her identity to be known, but she doesn’t mind telling you. Tsk tsk tsk.”
