Upon hearing Wanwan's response, Zhu Yuyan's eyes narrowed slightly.
After a few moments, Zhu Yuyan spoke up: "You've fallen for him?"
Upon hearing this, Wanwan paused for a moment, then opened her mouth to retort.
But as the words reached her lips, and Chu Qinghe's handsome face appeared in her mind, Wanwan's throat felt blocked, making it impossible for her to utter a rebuttal.
Even Wanwan herself couldn't help but ask herself the same question as Zhu Yuyan: "Have I fallen for that guy?"
Seeing Wanwan's reaction, Zhu Yuyan knew exactly what was going on.
In response, Zhu Yuyan sighed and said, "You already know about Master's matter. Because the 'Heavenly Demon Great Law' of my Yin Kui Sect is special, once a cultivator develops even a little bit of affection, it will take root and sprout in their heart."
"This is why Master still finds it hard to let go of Shi Zhixuan's betrayal back then."
In response to Zhu Yuyan's words, Wanwan muttered, "That guy seems different from Shi Zhixuan. The reason he came to this Tang Dynasty to cause trouble for the Bad People is because the Bad People schemed against Sister Dongfang and the others when they were in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, he is not as obsessed with power and status as Shi Zhixuan. He shouldn't be like Shi Zhixuan!"
Seeing Wanwan instinctively speaking up for Chu Qinghe, Zhu Yuyan frowned even more deeply.
Noticing Zhu Yuyan's expression, Wanwan quickly lowered her head, and her voice became extremely soft.
"Moreover, that guy is so strong. With him around, our Yin Kui Sect will be able to remain invincible in the Tang Dynasty. No matter how you look at it, it's a win-win situation."
Upon hearing the voice, Zhu Yuyan paused for a moment.
As the leader of the Yin Kui Sect, Zhu Yuyan was certainly not a fool.
They also understood that if a master like Chu Qinghe could become an asset to the Yin Kui Sect, who in the entire Tang Dynasty could rival him?
If it were someone else from the Yin Kui Sect, considering the future of the entire sect, Zhu Yuyan might have proactively sent them to Chu Qinghe.
But the Wanwan in front of him was different.
Although Wanwan is not related to Zhu Yuyan by blood, Zhu Yuyan has raised Wanwan since she was a child. Although they are called master and apprentice, their relationship is more like that of mother and daughter.
Zhu Yuyan naturally didn't want Wanwan to suffer from "love" like she did in the future.
But seeing Wanwan's appearance, Zhu Yuyan sighed again and said, "Although, as you said, Chu Qinghe's strength and appearance are extraordinary, and he may be a good match for you, you can't see into someone's heart, and many things are not as simple as they seem."
"Leaving aside the rest, regarding my Yin Kui Sect's 'Heavenly Demon Great Art,' one must ensure a pure Yin body to cultivate to the eighteenth level. My master was unable to cultivate the 'Heavenly Demon Great Art' to the eighteenth level because of Shi Zhixuan, which is why his strength has always been much weaker than people like Tian Dao Song Que and Ning Daoqi."
"You need to think these things through carefully yourself."
"What I'm worried about is that you can't think clearly, and that you'll end up like me, caught in this cycle of love and hate, ultimately leading to your utter ruin."
Hearing Zhu Yuyan's words, Wanwan looked at Zhu Yuyan seriously and said, "Master, don't worry, Wanwan will definitely think it through."
As she spoke, Wanwan also felt melancholy.
Based on Wanwan's understanding of Chu Qinghe, she was certain that Chu Qinghe was not the kind of person who would start a relationship with someone and then abandon them.
If Wanwan could be with Chu Qinghe, she wouldn't have to worry about following in Zhu Yuyan's footsteps. What Zhu Yuyan was worried about was naturally not a problem.
For Wanwan, the biggest problem now is how to successfully stay by Chu Qinghe's side and reap the benefits.
After all, Chu Qinghe also had two guardians by his side: Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue.
Although the two women didn't talk to her much, after spending so much time together, Wanwan could still clearly sense the subtle wariness they showed when they looked at her.
Seeing Wanwan's worried expression, Zhu Yuyan assumed that Wanwan had taken her words to heart, so she didn't continue. Instead, she changed the subject, saying, "Let's go! We'll talk about it after this is over."
After a brief conversation, Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan got up and returned to the inner courtyard.
As the two returned to the inner courtyard, Dongfang Bubai and the other women, who had been cultivating with their eyes closed, opened their eyes, glanced at Zhu Yuyan, and then closed their eyes again.
Compared to Zhu Yuyan, the arrogance displayed by Dongfang Bubai and the other women at this moment was much more subtle and understated.
However, after understanding the situation of Dongfang Bubai and Chu Qinghe, Zhu Yuyan did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.
After walking slowly to sit down in front of Chu Qinghe, Zhu Yuyan took the initiative to say, "I'm sorry to have troubled you to wait for me, Young Master Chu."
Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "It should be me who has troubled Empress Yin and the Yin Kui Sect to get involved in this mess."
Feeling Chu Qinghe's gentle voice, Zhu Yuyan glanced at Wanwan sitting beside her, paused for a moment, and then said, "Wanwan has already told me about the matter. Since we are going to cooperate, I wonder what your plans are for the Yang Gong Treasure Vault?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe said slowly, "It's actually quite simple. It's nothing more than that tomorrow, the Empress will bring those who have doubts about your sect into the Yang Gong Treasure Vault, and then she and a few others will take a stroll through the Yang Gong Treasure Vault together."
Zhu Yuyan pressed further, "What if we encounter Cihang Jingzhai and the Li Tang people who want to seize Yang Gong's treasure vault?"
Hearing Zhu Yuyan's question, Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Since the Yang Gong Treasure Vault was discovered by me and the Yin Kui Sect first, it naturally belongs to us. Now that I have found a way to unite with the Yin Kui Sect, if the people of Li Tang and Cihang Jingzhai really want to oppose me, I will naturally not stand idly by."
After pondering for a few moments, Zhu Yuyan asked, "So tomorrow we just need to follow Young Master Chu's instructions?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe didn't show it on his face, but he smiled slightly to himself.
"As expected of the Empress Yin, who is capable of leading a demonic sect like the Yin Kui Sect, her thoughts are more meticulous than others, and she uses double entendres with such skill. No wonder Wanwan is so clever by your side."
