Chapter 1863: I Already Drank Too Much Earlier

You have successfully trolled Yun Jianyue for +666 +666 +666…

Zu An immediately began to sweat like crazy. Previously, he had been so nervous and alarmed that he just tied it carelessly. He hadn’t expected it to be wrong! More importantly, Yun Jianyue had noticed! This really was social suicide…

…

Meanwhile, when Qiu Honglei and Yun Jianyue were already far away from the courtyard, Qiu Honglei couldn't help but ask, “Master, what did you mean just now? You sounded really angry.”

“It’s nothing. I was just warning him, that's all,” Yun Jianyue said with a sneer.

No wonder they had b.u.mped into a fl.u.s.tered and guilty Xie Daoyun on the way out! On top of that, her lips had seemed a bit more moist than usual.

So they were doing that kind of thing!

How ridiculous! The two of them clearly only had a brother and sister relations.h.i.+p. What kind of sister does that with their brother?

More importantly, when did these two suddenly get that far? Xie Daoyun was clearly just a reserved and virtuous young lady the last time they interacted! And yet she actually agreed to create trouble with him!

“Master, did you smell anything strange in that room earlier? It was almost like…” Qiu Honglei trailed off, her face reddening. She was too embarra.s.sed to continue.

Yun Jianyue immediately became vigilant. She exclaimed, “You did that kind of stuff for him before too?!”

“What do you mean?” Qiu Honglei replied, feeling a bit at a loss. naturally didn’t want to discuss that kind of thing with her master, so her first inclination was to think of something else.

“It’s nothing. I didn’t smell anything earlier.” Yun Jianyue harrumphed. She also felt that talking about that kind of thing with her disciple was a bit ridiculous, so she decided to just say that she hadn’t smelled anything.

Qiu Honglei sighed in relief and said, “I suppose I was overthinking things just now.”

Yun Jianyue was about to say something when she saw her disciple’s happy appearance and decided not to. Inwardly, she thought, You actually weren’t wrong…

Sigh, this disciple of mine is usually pretty sharp. She has who knows how many men in the Holy Sect in the palm of her hand. Why did she suddenly become dumb? Should I give her some reminders?

However, a master teaching her disciple how to flirt with a man really is a bit embarra.s.sing…

…

Meanwhile, Pei Mianman hurriedly returned to Jadefall Palace’s residence. Elder Huo Ling, Wan Tongtian, Wan Guiyi, and the others were eating in front of a desk.

“Did you say your goodbyes to him?” Elder Huo Ling asked, her expression unhappy. The disciple she had carefully raised actually only had another man in her head all day long! If news of that got out, it really would be shameful for her as the master.

“Yes,” Pei Mianman said, reflexively wiping the corners of her lips. She felt relief when she noticed that there was nothing left behind.

“Hm? Why did you change into a different set of clothes?” Elder Huo Ling asked, looking at her with suspicion.

Pei Mianman replied in alarm, “We’re about to head out on a long journey, so I felt that my other clothes weren’t suitable.” The front of her other clothes was dirty, and there was a strong smell on them. How could she dare to wear them here?

“That brat didn’t do something to you, did he?” Elder Huo Ling asked with a frown. She felt as if the lovely, graceful, and obedient daughter she had raised was constantly running off to troublesome places.

“No… Nothing,” Pei Mianman said, her face heating up. Strictly speaking, it was she who had done something to him….

Wan Tongtian smiled and tried to smooth things over, saying, “When a woman is pretty, it isn’t too strange for her to change clothes often.”

Elder Huo Ling’s eyes narrowed. She said, “I usually wear just this set of clothes, and even if I change, it looks similar. Judging from what the sect leader is saying, it seems to imply I do not care much about my appearance?”

Wan Tongtian was just about to continue when he froze up. He really was getting kicked while he was down here! Fortunately, he reacted quickly and glossed over it with a chuckle. Then, he beckoned to Pei Mianman and said, “Manman, come and eat. The journey will be more comfortable after a good meal. We won’t be stopping once we set off, so try to replenish as much strength as possible.”

“Understood, martial uncle sect leader,” Pei Mianman replied.

Elder Huo Ling got a bowl of soy milk ready for her as soon as she sat down. She said in an endearing manner, “This is made with the finest spirit soybean extract from the Righteous Sun Sect’s medicinal fields. Every single soybean is full of natural ki. If not for what happened to the Righteous Sun Sect, we would likely not have the blessing to drink this. Have some more of it.”

Pei Mianman’s eyes widened when she saw the white and creamy soy milk. In the end, she couldn't help but run off to the side and retch. “Ugh…”

When she saw her disciple vomit, Elder Huo Ling’s face was full of question marks.

What’s with the huge reaction? Don’t tell me you’re pregnant or something?

The Wan father and son also looked at her in confusion. Why was she having such a strong reaction?

Do you not like soy milk?

However, they had never seen her avoid soy milk before. Additionally, the soy milk from Violet Mountain was fragrant and sweet.

They were just about to ask her when Pei Mianman hurriedly waved her hand and said, “I’m good. It’s just that I already drank enough earlier. I’m going back for some rest first.” She broke off into a small run after saying that, still feeling lingering fear.

The others looked at each other in dismay. They didn’t understand what was happening. When had she drunk soy milk?

…

Meanwhile, Zu An was cleaning up the mess back in his room; he was in a sorry state. He definitely didn’t want anyone else to b.u.mp into this disaster. He really felt as if he had been on an emotional rollercoaster all night. After cleaning everything up, he sat in front of his desk in a daze.

What was I thinking about earlier again?

Oh, I didn’t expect Kiss of the G.o.ddess to have that incredible use. It really is something… Should I get Chuyan to try it sometime too? Still, she’s usually colder in nature. She won’t just beat me to death out of humiliation, will she?

I can also never let big sis Yan find out, or else I’ll be skinned eight times over!

He was letting his imagination run wild when a guard suddenly called out to him respectfully from the entrance, saying, “Sir Zu, this subordinate has something to report.”

“Come in,” Zu An replied absentmindedly.

A guard dressed in an Armed Escort Army uniform walked in. He kneeled down on the ground respectfully.

“Is there something you need?” Zu An asked.

“It is related to King Yan. He seems to…” the guard began.

When he saw how the subordinate was hesitating, Zu An became a bit curious. He walked over to support the guard to his feet while saying, “Don’t be scared. You can just tell me.”

The guard suddenly raised his head and blew a puff of black smoke in his face. At the same time, a dagger appeared in his hand, moving toward Zu An’s body. However, as soon as he raised his hand, he felt a stinging pain. Zu An had gripped his wrist and aimed it at his own neck instead!

The move should have dislocated his joint at the very least, but the guard’s hand suddenly became as limp as a loach, breaking free from his restriction at a strange angle. Then, he dashed to one side.

He was about to say something when Zu An suddenly appeared in front of him like a relentless shadow, a hand clamping down on his shoulder. He immediately felt a wave of pressure that prevented him from mustering even the slightest bit of strength again.

“It hurts, it hurts! It’s me! I was just playing a joke on you!” a melodious voice cried out, clearly that of a woman.

Zu An reached out to touch her face, then tore off the mask covering it, revealing a lovable and annoyed face. She was clearly an extremely mysterious person, someone with many sides, and yet she had a dignified and elegant face. However, she was tearing up a bit, clearly from pain.

“Tang Tian’er?” Zu An exclaimed. He frowned when he saw her face, but he still didn’t let her go.

“Young master, it’s been a long time, so I just wanted to play a prank. Is there a need for you to be this mean?” Tang Tian’er replied playfully.

“Hah,” Zu An sneered. “Is an a.s.sa.s.sination attempt a joke?”

When she saw that he was still displeased, Tang Tian’er started to panic. She cried out, “That smoke didn’t have any poison, and that dagger was actually made of paper. You can go and check if you don’t believe me!”

Zu An flung her away and sat back down. He said indifferently, “If that hadn’t been the case, you would already be dead.”

He had already felt that something was off from the very beginning, which was why he held back. Otherwise, even though he wouldn’t have killed the ‘a.s.sa.s.sin’ on the spot, he would definitely have broken their arms and legs before slowly carrying out an interrogation.

“It’s just because I haven’t seen you in too long! I wanted to raise your vigilance a bit…” Tang Tian’er said as she ran over in a familiar manner to help him ma.s.sage his arms and legs.

“It’s easy for you to take your games too far that way,” Zu An said seriously, “Not everyone can immediately tell the difference like me, and other people might not show mercy.”

“Come on, I would only do that kind of thing with you, okay? There’s no way I’d do that with other people.” Tang Tian’er harrumphed.

“How did you get in?” Zu An asked curiously. The security in the area was extremely tight, after all.

After such a major event had happened on Violet Mountain, and especially after factoring in the presence of King Yan and the Guerilla Warfare and Armed Escort Armies, there were layers upon layers of guards in the area.

“For someone like me who’s good at disguising myself, the more people there are, the more openings I have to exploit!” Tang Tian’er said, feeling quite pleased with herself. “I took such a huge risk to find you precisely because I heard that you’d returned. I couldn't hold back my yearning, you know?”

Zu An calmly said, “Tell me what you really want from me.”

“I really did miss you…” Tang Tian’er said with a wronged expression.

“I’m leaving if you don’t speak,” Zu An said, unmoved. He got up and prepared to leave as he spoke.

“Wait, wait, wait!” Tang Tian’er quickly protested, then asked, “Is that blasted emperor dead?”

“That’s a court secret. No comment,” Zu An replied. He knew that the Hub of Freedom had an inextricable relations.h.i.+p with the people of the previous dynasty. Tang Tian’er had likely come to find him precisely because of that.

Tang Tian’er grumbled, “I helped you so much and even risked my purity to save you, but you’re abandoning me amid the chaos… You’re not even willing to tell me such a small thing…”

Zu An thought back to how she had hidden him in her bathtub to avoid soldiers before. He reflexively looked at her underbelly. He seemed to recall in that location a certain…

Tang Tian’er’s face turned red when she saw his gaze and protested, “Scoundrel.”

Zu An immediately felt a headache coming on. He said, “Alright, the emperor is already dead. He died in the secret dungeon and even his corpse is gone.”

Either way, the news would be widespread sooner or later. It would be better to get a favor from her with it.

“Young master is the best! I knew you wouldn’t be so heartless!” Tang Tian’er exclaimed. She enthusiastically hugged him and gave him a kiss. Her eyes were beaming.

“How does the young master want me to thank you?” she asked while lightly pecking his earlobe. She even mischievously blew some hot air. Her voice was as sweet as honey. Together with that smile that was even sweeter than her voice, it really was enough to make any man rock-hard.

However, Zu An remained extremely calm as he said, “Miss Tang, there’s no need for you to do that. Friends should help each other out, so there’s no need for you to use your usual tricks.”

Big Manman’s Kiss of the G.o.ddess had just been way too formidable, making him humiliate himself countless times. There was no way he could have any untoward thoughts right now.

Tang Tian’er was stunned. A hint of admiration appeared in her eyes. She got up and bowed respectfully, saying, “The young master really is a gentleman and leaves Tang’er full of admiration. Actually, the young master has misunderstood. I only do this to the young master; no one else can even touch a single finger of mine. But since the young master doesn’t seem to like it, I’ll be more mindful in the future.”
