Chapter 2685: We Have the Upper Hand
“What makes you say that, master?” Qiu Honglei was confused. After what happened earlier, she didn’t harbor any hopes.
Yan Xuehen appeared to be unfazed by the mundane, and for many years, she had been uninterested in romantic relationships. On top of that, she was Chu Chuyan’s master. It was unthinkable for there to be anything between her and Zu An.
“Think about it. You were there for ten minutes, but it felt like an instant to you. No one else could have affected your senses under Ah Zu’s watch. Only he himself is capable of that.” Yun Jianyue’s eyes flickered with a brilliant light.
“Does Ah Zu wield such an ability?” Qiu Honglei was baffled. She had been unconscious for so long that she had no idea what abilities Ah Zu currently wielded.
“He has mentioned many times that he’s the god of this world, and that there’s nothing he’s incapable of.” Yun Jianyue started getting excited halfway through her sentence as if she had discovered uncharted territory.
“Master, you’re saying...” Qiu Honglei quickly guessed what her master was driving at.
“Indeed. Why would Ah Zu warp your senses if they were innocent? Thinking back, it felt unnatural how distant they seemed,” Yun Jianyue sneered.
“Sect Master Yan is cold-natured; she avoids physical contact with men. Ah Zu is a gentleman, so it would make sense for him to observe propriety,” Qiu Honglei pointed out.
“What poison did that fellow feed you to make you think that he’s a gentleman?” Yun Jianyue huffed. “Besides, it’s not as if he's never hugged that ice sculpture before. Do they need to maintain such a distance between each other?”
“They hugged before?” Qiu Honglei was stunned.
“Of course! He hugged me with one hand and her with the other.” Yun Jianyue had a dangerous look in her eyes. Why didn’t I think about that earlier? If he dares to lay his hands on me, there’s no reason he wouldn’t dare lay his hands on that ice sculpture!
She had been too convinced that nothing could happen between him and that ice sculpture beforer, but that fellow’s flirting skills surpassed common sense. He could very well have his way of dealing with Yan Xuehen.
