Chapter 1109: Being Robbed at Home

“What?” Hearing Yun Jianyue’s words, Yan Xuehen’s willow-like brows shot up as she glared at Zu An. “You have Chu Yan, and you’re still not satisfied? You’re actually flirting around outside?”

Not far away, Yu Yanluo’s expression was also quite something. She couldn’t help but feel that the woman’s words were subtly implying something.

However, she was equally surprised. The Demon Sect Master’s disciple was the sect’s Saintess, rumored to remain a virgin for life. How did Zu An manage to get involved with even a woman like that?

What astonished her even more was that Yun Jianyue, as the master, didn't seem to mind at all.

Is something wrong with this world?

Yun Jianyue, on the other hand, watched Zu An with a leisurely air, looking like someone who enjoyed a good show and wouldn't mind if things escalated.

Zu An’s scalp tingled. He knew that all parties were waiting for his statement. If he denied it, and it reached Hong Lei’s ears, it would undoubtedly make her feel wronged.

So, he steeled himself and said bluntly, “Hong Lei and I have been through a lot, experiencing life and death together. You could say it was mutual affection. Chu Yan knew about this back then and even suggested bringing her into the family.”

Yan Xuehen, furious, laughed instead. “You scoundrel, you’re actually planning to have multiple wives?”

Rage points from Yan Xuehen +444444444…

Yu Yanluo thought to herself, *more than just two wives*. According to her information, this guy had more than just two confidantes.

“Commendable courage. Hong Lei’s deep affection for you isn’t wasted,” Yun Jianyue nodded approvingly, then looked at Yan Xuehen with disdain. “What ‘multiple wives’? Your disciple flew off on her own when disaster struck. She already divorced him when facing the Emperor’s pressure; now they have no relationship. Of course, if she’s willing to curry favor with us later, I wouldn’t mind letting Hong Lei agree to her joining as a concubine.”

“A concubine? Dream on!” Yan Xuehen was furious. “Chu Yan is his legitimate wife, having sworn vows before heaven, earth, and parents with him. They told me about their separation; it was a mutual decision to protect the Chu family, not a true divorce.”

She didn’t like Zu An, nor did she want her disciple to be bound by love, but her not wanting it was one thing; someone else trying to snatch him was another.

If it were anyone else, she probably wouldn’t have gotten angry even with such words; she might even have been happy to go along with it.

But Yun Jianyue was different. White Jade Capital and the Demonic Sect were irreconcilable forces of good and evil. The two sects, and even the two women themselves, had fought each other for so many years that neither could afford to lose to the other.

The thought of her own disciple becoming a concubine to the other’s disciple?

Even though she had always prided herself on being calm and detached, she couldn’t help but feel intensely annoyed.

Zu An’s expression was strange. Why was she acknowledging their relationship now?

Yun Jianyue clicked her tongue. “Well, who would’ve thought? White Jade Capital, revered by the world, turns out to be a sect that snatches men. Truly an eye-opener.”

“What did you say!” Yan Xuehen’s face turned cold, and her aura instantly surged. The room, which had been comfortably warm from the underground fire for heating, immediately began to freeze over.

Yu Yanluo trembled slightly. She detested icy things, and this woman was making a mess of the room she had painstakingly designed.

At this moment, Yun Jianyue also summoned her Crescent Wheel, which floated around her. She said with a half-smile, “What, did I hit a nerve, and now you want to silence me?”

Yan Xuehen gradually regained her composure and said indifferently, “Yun Jianyue, deliberately provoking me isn’t a good idea. You are injured; in a fight to the death, you are no match for me.”

Yun Jianyue didn’t deny it. “That’s right, in my current state, I indeed can’t beat you. But what if we add my precious disciple-son-in-law?”

“Disciple-son-in-law?” Zu An was speechless, wondering what kind of ridiculous title that was.

Yan Xuehen paused, unable to resist glancing at Zu An. She had to admit that while this guy was far from her level, he was certainly capable enough to intervene in a fight between her and Yun Jianyue.

At this point, Yun Jianyue added, “What’s more, Madam Yu will help me. This is the Yu family, after all. You just cut off the internal and external aura, which is why the Yu mansion’s experts haven’t reacted yet. But how can we hide it once we start fighting? When the Yu family’s many experts arrive, you’ll probably fall here.”

Seeing herself dragged into it, Yu Yanluo retorted testily, “Your grievances have nothing to do with me. Don’t involve me.”

Although she didn’t like Yan Xuehen, she was equally annoyed by Yun Jianyue.

The woman’s half-smile and the undeniable way she treated Zu An as her disciple-son-in-law made her uncomfortable.

Of course, rationality told her that she just didn’t want to be associated with the Demonic Sect.

Yet, Yun Jianyue seemed to see through her thoughts, charmingly saying with a smile, “It’s normal for you not to help me. But when the fight starts, will you really not help Zu An?”

Yu Yanluo froze. Indeed, she couldn’t stand by and do nothing.

Then Yun Jianyue added, “Don’t worry, I’m not as overbearing as those people from White Jade Capital. Considering your affection and loyalty to little Ah Zu, I’ll let Hong Lei allow you to join the family as sisters.”

Yu Yanluo’s pretty face immediately turned crimson. “What nonsense are you spouting?”

Zu An also had a splitting headache. Yun Jianyue, being from the Demonic Sect, truly had no qualms about how she acted or spoke. She seemed to thrive on chaos.

At this point, Yan Xuehen also reacted, “How is it that your words imply you’re acting as the senior wife? Are you choosing sisters for your disciple, or for yourself?”

As soon as she said this, the entire room became noticeably quieter.

Yu Yanluo looked at Yun Jianyue with a hint of suspicion in her eyes, while Zu An was dumbfounded.

Yan Xuehen, who appeared to be a righteous fairy, turned out to be so sharp-tongued?

Those words were truly venomous.

Sure enough, a flicker of annoyance crossed Yun Jianyue’s eyes, but she reacted quickly, suppressing it and immediately saying with a smile, “So what? For our Sacred Sect, we value strength and future potential the most. We are very satisfied with Ah Zu, and I naturally consider him family. Instead of letting other men benefit, it’s better for him.”

“Ice Maiden, how about becoming sisters with me? It’s quite fun for master and disciple to be together, you know. Ordinary people shouldn’t even dream of entering the Zu family’s door. Although you’re a bit old, you still have some charm, so you barely qualify. For the sake of our years of acquaintance, I’ll open a back door for you.”

Not to mention Yu Yanluo, even Zu An was dumbfounded, wondering if what she said was true or false.

At this point, Yan Xuehen was already trembling with rage. “As expected of a demonic temptress from the Demonic Sect, speaking such shameless words so naturally!”

She could no longer hold back and directly drew her flying sword, attacking her opponent.

Yun Jianyue laughed. “What, do you want to be the elder sister? That won’t do.”

Although she was smiling, she didn’t dare to be careless in her movements. The Crescent Wheel swiftly met the attack.

Soon, the flying sword and the Crescent Wheel clashed more than a dozen times in the air. Sword energy and powerful winds surged, and the entire room, unable to withstand the exchange between two Grandmasters, quickly shattered and collapsed with a crash.

Yu Yanluo’s expression shifted slightly. Her acupuncture points had just been sealed by Yan Xuehen’s qi, making it difficult for her to dodge now.

Just then, a figure appeared beside her, shielding her with his body. The falling pillars and tiles were one thing, but the swirling forces from a Grandmaster’s fight were not so easily endured.

Zu An’s back immediately erupted in blooming streaks of blood. He then grunted, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Yu Yanluo stared blankly at the man protecting her. Seeing the blood at the corner of his mouth, she felt a pang of heartache and quickly took out her personal handkerchief to wipe it away for him.

At this moment, Yun Jianyue’s voice drifted over: “No more fighting, no more fighting.”

As a Grandmaster, she naturally perceived all the changes in the field. She and Yan Xuehen were fighting tooth and nail, only for another woman to seize the moment?

This feeling was truly unpleasant.

Yan Xuehen saw the Yu family experts rushing over in the distance and clearly had no intention of continuing the fight. Instead, she gazed deeply at Zu An. “It was you that night, after all.”

Yun Jianyue instantly turned her head, gossip flames burning brightly.

That night?

Could this Ice Maiden actually have something going on with that brat?
