Tang Tian'er tilted her head and asked, "The only thing that needs to be silenced is Sun Ji's death, but the murderer who killed Sun Ji has already been found, and there are members of the Sun family to testify. It has nothing to do with you, so why would I be afraid of being silenced?"
Zuan said calmly, "It's not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be too smart, otherwise she won't even know how she died."
Although he did not kill Sun Ji, he was still misunderstood by Sun Xun.
Sensing his murderous intent, Tang Tian'er immediately panicked: "Are you really planning to kill me? We've at least been intimate."
Zuan remained noncommittal.
The more silent he became, the more panicked Tang Tian'er felt. This man in front of her was completely different from the ones she had encountered before. In the past, she could manipulate those people, regardless of age or cultivation level, but this man was truly unfathomable to her, and she had been played by him from the very beginning.
Feeling the cold atmosphere in the room, Tang Tian'er bit her red lips and hurriedly said, "How about this, I can use my information to buy my life. You should know that Xiaoyao Tower is always well-informed and knows many secrets."
I refuse to believe this man is so stubborn. I'll give him a way out first, and even if he's as tough as iron, I'll melt him.
“Oh,” Zuan glanced at her, “who is the owner of Xiaoyao Tower?”
Tang Tian'er's smile froze instantly.
"What, don't you know a lot of secrets?"
"Young Master, aren't you making things difficult for me? Our boss is so mysterious, nobody in the world knows him, and even if they did, they wouldn't dare to say anything. Besides, how could a lowly soldier like me possibly have access to someone at the boss's level?" Tang Tian'er knelt on the bed, tugging at his sleeve and pleading, "Young Master, please ask me another question, I promise I can answer it."
"Do you know what happened to the Demonic Sect before, and why they used the highest-level signal flare to summon everyone?" Zuan asked.
Tang Tian'er's face fell: "Young Master, you yourself said it's the highest level of the Demonic Sect, how could an outsider like me possibly know? If you give me a few months, maybe I can find some clues."
Zuan snorted: "You don't know this or that, so what's the use of keeping you around?"
Sensing the chilling intent in his tone, Tang Tian'er felt as if an electric current had flowed through her body, causing her to tremble involuntarily. However, she disregarded the strange sensation in her body and hurriedly said, "I have some news that you, young master, will surely be interested in."
"Tell me about it," Zu An said casually, leaning against the headboard, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Tang Tian'er spoke quickly, her voice still melodious and pleasant: "I heard that you are going to Yunzhong County to investigate the disappearance of the Duke of Yunzhong County..."
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at him. Seeing that he had no expression at all, she could only continue, "Young master, you must be careful. The situation in Yunzhong County is very complicated, and as far as I know, there seem to be demons there."
"The demon race?" Zu An frowned. Ever since the great war between the human race and the demon race, the demon race was defeated. Those who remained in the Great Zhou territory either became slaves or hid their identities and dared not reveal anything. This was the first time he had heard of them coming out to cause trouble.
“That’s right. There are people in Yunzhong County who are colluding with the demon race. As for who they are, we don’t know,” Tang Tian’er said with a worried look at him. “Young Master, we don’t know who you will be investigating. But you must prepare in advance. Perhaps the people you are investigating have demon forces behind them. If they are desperate, they may do something that could be detrimental to you.”
Zu An suddenly realized why Kong Nan had given me a feather from her when I left the capital—cough cough, no, a peacock feather. She must have known about Yunzhong County all along. Was she worried that my demon companions would hurt me, or was she using this as a mark to remind the demons to get rid of me?
Recalling every moment of their interactions, he still prefers to believe it was the former.
"Young master, can you spare my life?" Tang Tian'er's big eyes blinked, and few men could resist such an expression.
"Don't try to charm me. I've seen far more powerful ones than you," Zaun said calmly.
Tang Tian'er hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, this is just my true feeling. I wouldn't dare to use any charm magic."
She was also puzzled. Although she had faced life-threatening situations before, it had never been like today. When she learned that the other party might really kill her, she felt a strange unease within her body. She didn't have time to think about it then, but now that she came to her senses, she felt extremely ashamed that she had been so easily swayed by his few words...
She carefully examined the man's face, which resembled the lines of a marble sculpture, and her face unconsciously flushed.
Zuan couldn't help but glance at her; this woman's behavior was rather strange.
"Young Master~" Tang Tian'er crawled over, getting closer to the other party, and began to use her special skill of coquetry again.
Just then, a noisy voice came from outside: "Auntie, let me tell you, today was so frustrating, we're never going to Xiaoyao again..."
As they were talking, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Pei You and Gao Ying walked in, cursing and swearing. Upon seeing the scene in the room, they froze: "...Upstairs..."
From their perspective, Zuan was sitting leisurely on the edge of the bed, while a beautiful woman was lying on his waist. Although they couldn't see what they were doing, they were all men, so who wouldn't know about this?
The two men couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but just by looking at her slender and graceful back and her tiny waist, they knew she was definitely a great beauty.
What's better is that she's also proficient in playing musical instruments and singing; she's absolutely a rare beauty.
"Excuse me..." The two stepped back in perfect unison, and even thoughtfully tried to close the door.
