Chapter 2692: It’d Be Rude Not to Return the Favor
Zu An’s heart skipped a beat, but he maintained a straight face. “Why do you ask?”
“Your relationship with Sect Master Yun seems to transcend that of ordinary friends.” Pei Mianman couldn’t tell him that it was Chu Chuyan’s conjecture.
“We've braved life and death situations in dungeons together. We’re bound to be closer than friends,” Zu An replied with a chuckle. “Don’t think nonsense and focus on the Red Spider Lilies. Let’s see if they can resonate with your Paramita Butterfly.”
He had already gotten numb to the grilling. At this rate, he could get PTSD from this. I have to find a way to resolve this matter as soon as possible, or else it’ll remain a huge landmine.
His composed attitude made Pei Mianman wonder if Chu Chuyan had been overthinking things. But she suppressed her doubt, walked into the field of Red Spider Lilies, and examined the flowers close up.
Zu An quietly left the area so that she could focus on her cultivation.
He returned to the Oblivion Bridge to accompany Chuyan. They chatted for a while before he finally asked, “Chuyan, did Manman say something to you earlier?”
“It was just some usual talk between close friends.” Chu Chuyan blinked. “What’s wrong? Did you do something wrong?”
“Of course not...” Zu An replied sheepishly. Maybe I should start revealing the truth about Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue, or else I might go crazy at this rate! His only concern was that the damage to Yan Xuehen would be far greater than to Yun Jianyue.
Yun Jianyue would be embarrassed, but Yan Xuehen would take the brunt of the blow and be condemned by the world. There was no way Yan Xuehen would be able to withstand the shame.
Haa, this is the downside of building up a good guy persona.
Chu Chuyan noticed Zu An’s unnatural attitude but didn’t expose him. Instead, she began chatting with him about other subjects.
