He didn't dare to show too much pride. After all, Qiu Honglei had escaped from the palace but was captured by the Prince of Yan's mansion. If someone with ulterior motives took advantage of this, they would say, "Your Prince of Yan's mansion is even more powerful than the palace. What are you trying to do?"
Zuan chatted with the two for a while, then took the opportunity to ask, "Could I go see that witch? It's mainly because a friend of mine was completely fooled by her during the battle in the capital, and he's been wanting to get revenge."
Upon hearing the phrase "I have a friend," the Prince of Yan and Sun Xun exchanged knowing smiles.
"It's alright, why don't you take Lord Zu to see that witch?" The Prince of Yan was already injured and was a little tired after chatting for a while.
"Your Highness, please rest well." Sun Xun hurriedly bowed to the Prince of Yan, then said to Zu An, "Lord Zu, this way please."
Zu An also bid farewell to the King of Yan, and left the room with Sun Xun with trepidation.
"I wonder which expert captured that demoness and performed such a miraculous feat. I will definitely report to the Emperor when I return to the capital and reward him handsomely."
Sun Xun smiled slightly: "It was naturally the prince who was able to capture that demoness, so there's no need for him to claim credit; his status is not appropriate."
"So that's how it is!" Zu An looked like he suddenly understood. No wonder Qiu Honglei was defeated. With a Grandmaster personally taking action, how could she possibly escape?
Soon, Zu'an arrived at a secluded courtyard. The guards along the way were noticeably more heavily armed, indicating that this was clearly the private prison of the Prince of Yan's residence.
After unlocking several heavy shackles, they arrived at the deepest part of the prison. In the distance, they saw a woman in a black dress sitting with her knees drawn up to her chest in the corner. She looked somewhat listless and pale, but her breathtaking beauty was still undeniable. The usually flamboyant and wicked enchantress now had a touch of gentle fragility, making her even more alluring.
Zuan's heart sank. On the way here, he had been praying that the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult they were talking about was not Qiu Honglei, but he was disappointed in the end.
Qiu Honglei looked up when she heard the noise, and even Sun Xun was amazed by her stunningly beautiful face.
"What else is there to say to you..." she coldly rebuked, then suddenly saw Zu An behind her and froze for a moment.
Sun Xun said meaningfully, "Do the two of you know each other?"
Zuan laughed heartily at this moment: "Last time I caught a glimpse of the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, her stunning beauty lingered in my mind for a long time. Today, I see you still as beautiful as ever. Compared to before, I prefer you the way you are now."
Qiu Honglei snorted: "Damn imperial lackeys!"

I've been having annual meetings for the past few days, and I've been going to bed at 3 a.m. and waking up at 7 a.m. almost every day. I've been in Sanya for 3 or 4 days now, and the hotel is right next to the beach, but I haven't been there even once. Whenever I have time, all I want to do is lie in bed.
