Pei Mianman already began her demonstration after speaking.
She was born beautiful. Together with the gracefulness of this technique, she didnât seem like she was displaying a martial art at all, but as if she was dancing.
This truly was a splendid and wonderful performance, as if a goddess appeared in the world of mortals.
Zu An couldnât help but release a sigh. What the heck was I even watching before? Those ancient costume dramas have nothing on this! Those court dancers all look so stupid in comparison.
I guess itâs still mainly because those drama dance performances werenât that amazing, or else everyoneâs eyes would be glued to their screens.
Zu Anâs eyes also followed Pei Mianmanâs movements back and forth. He felt as if his own heart was jumping along with her dance.
Pei Mianman demonstrated the technique while explaining the technique. When she saw his dumbfounded expression when she was done, she became a bit angry. âIâm done. How much of it do you remember?â
You have successfully trolled Pei Mianman for +233 Rage!
âI remembered all of it,â replied Zu An subconsciously.
âAll of it?â Pei Mianmanâs brows immediately furrowed. She only said that she would only show it once back then out of a moment of anger. How could anyone have learned it from just a single look? She only had a rough idea of this technique after seeing it displayed in front of her three times back then.â
âYup.â Zu An wiped the corners of his mouth to check for drool. Thank god I didnât drool and embarrass myself.
As for the Entangling Feathersilk Art, he really wasnât lying.
After eating those Marrow Cleansing Pills, his brain felt incredibly sharp, his memory and other parts also extremely great. He would already more or less learn it after seeing it once regardless of what he was studying.
Sigh, if I had this type of ability in my last life, then I couldâve just picked whatever Tsinghua University or Peking University to enroll into!
âThen show it back to me!â Pei Mianman sneered. No wonder so many people hate this guy. No one likes boasting men.
âKay.â
Zu An began to recall her movements. He quickly displayed the âEntangling Feathersilk Artâ back to her.
When he went through a larger half of this skill, Zu An suddenly released an âaiyaâ cry.
Pei Mianman was completely shocked when she saw him perform the Entangling Feathersilk Art without any mistakes. When she saw him stop, she finally released a breath of relief. I guess this guy still forgot some parts in the end.
But reaching this point in such a short amount of time was already quite exceptional.
She was just about to offer him some words of praise when she suddenly heard him say, âI shouldâve said that I donât remember all of it so that you can teach me while holding my hand. That would be a perfectly legitimate reason for skinship! Is it too late now to say that I donât remember everything?â
Pei Mianman: ââ¦â¦â
Zu An chuckled in embarrassment when he saw her face go cold. He didnât dare go too far after what happened just now.
He performed the rest of the technique right away.
âWhat do you think? Did I get any parts wrong?â Zu An asked in a hurry.
Pei Mianmanâs red lips moved slightly, but she didnât say anything for a long time.
Then, she finally exhaled. âThere are no mistakes.â
No only was there no mistake, it was simply perfect. She couldnât find a single flaw no matter how picky she tried to be.
This fella was actually this talented!
Pei Mianman was completely shocked. No wonder that proud and arrogant Chuyan chose him as her husband! She must have known that he was an unpolished gem from the start.
As for the academyâs yellow class evaluation, thatâs probably due to the Chu clanâs involvement behind the scenes.
Chuyan is normally fresh and pure, who would have thought that she is actually this two-faced!
You got me completely fooled!
âWhatâs wrong?â Zu An couldnât help but ask when he saw her changing expressions.
âAre you working together with Chuyan to deceive me?!â Black flames suddenly rushed out from Pei Mianmanâs entire body. A ring of black flames surrounded the two of them, as if she was going to burn him to ashes a second later.
Zu Anâs expression changed at once when he felt the terrifying heat. His entire body immediately went taut in preparation against the other partyâs possible attack. He swallowed his saliva and said, âHow am I deceiving you?â
âThe two of you are showing the rest of the world how much the Chu clan dislikes you, deceiving me to the point where I foolishly even cooperated with you. Is Chu Chuyan laughing from behind the scenes?â Pei Mianmanâs willowy brows shot up vertically. Her eyes didnât carry any feigned fierceness, but rather true killing intent.
âItâs not like you didnât see for yourself how I am treated in the estate! That Qin Wanru was criticizing me so much she almost chased me out! How did I deceive you?â Zu An had an innocent look on his face. He didnât know why she would suddenly get so angry.
âYou told me you wanted me to help you pursue Chu Chuyan, that youâll help me look for her account book, but your relationship doesnât seem to be that bad!â Pei Mianman still didnât dispel her doubts.
âThe two of us really werenât that close in the beginning! My title as the young master only exists in name, she doesnât treat me like a real husband at all. It was just that after that dungeon experience, Shi Kun and his experts chased us all over the place. Our relationship only made a turn for the better after going through all of this. But even so, we are still far from a real husband and wife!â
âIs that true?â Only after hearing him say these things did Pei Mianman relax.
âOf course it is!â Zu An carefully moved her hand away from him. âBut this best friend of hers doesnât seem to have done much? You said you would help me get Chuyan, but I didnât even see any effort! I figured itâll be faster if I just did things myself.â
âDo you really have the nerve to say this? Then what about that account book you agreed to find for me? You didnât find a thing!â Pei Mianman said hatefully.
Zu An chuckled in embarrassment. âBut you couldâve at least done something. Also, my status in the Chu clan is really too low, I donât have access to that stuff at all.â
Pei Mianman harrumphed. Her eyes suddenly turned to the side.
âHm? Your swordâs not bad.â
She was a bit surprised when she saw the Taiâe Sword stab into the ground like tofu.
When she was just about to examine it, Zu An was worried that she might find out about something. He said in a hurry, âUm⦠arenât you worried about the elemental fluctuations drawing attention in this Chu estate?â
The first time they met was in Chu Chuyanâs room. Pei Mianman didnât even use her black flames in that life and death struggle precisely out of fear of alarming the clanâs experts.
But the situation suddenly escalated to that point, so there was no way they wouldnât alarm anyone.
Sure enough, Pei Mianmanâs expression changed. âItâs all your fault!â
After shooting him a glare, she disappeared into the night with a tap of her toes.
When he thought about the anger and ambiguity behind her look before she left, a gentle smile couldnât help but appear on Zu Anâs face.
Why in the world did I suddenly kiss her?
Itâs even more strange that she didnât even show much of a reaction⦠no, her reaction was pretty bigâ¦
When Chu clanâs commander Yue Shan rushed over with a group of guards, they saw that Zu An was currently looking at a mirror. He hurriedly asked, âYoung master, did an enemy intrude here?â
âNope.â Zu An said in a carefree manner.
The guards looked around for a long time, but they indeed didnât find anything. When they were just about to leave, Yue Shan finally couldnât help but ask, âYoung master, why do you keep looking in the mirror?â
The other guards shared his confusion. Why is a man like you staring into a mirror so late into the night? So awkward.
âI am trying to figure out if I really am too handsome. Otherwise, why would so many girls end up liking me?â Zu An subconsciously replied.
It was first Shang Liuyu, Chu Chuyan, and then Qiu Honglei and Pei Mianman. All of them ran over with all types of items and skills as soon as they learned that he was being targeted by Chen Xuan.
How could he not feel cocky about his face?
Yue Shan: ââ¦â¦â
All of the guards: ââ¦â¦â
Sorry for disturbing you, weâre out of here.
Why do I suddenly feel like throwing up?
Those guards all left with strange expressions.
When he saw the string of Rage points come in, Zu An thought to himself that these people really were petty. This was purely jealousy.
â¦
Early the next morning when Zu An was still fast asleep, he was suddenly woken up by the doorâs pounding sounds.
âWho is it?!â
Zu An was full of morning grumpiness. Which idiot is pounding on my door so early in the morning?
He turned his body, about to ignore it. Suddenly, the entrance was kicked open.
âLazy ass brother-in-law, the sunâs already shining on your butt. Wake up already!â Chu Huanzhaoâs unique tender but unruly voice sounded.
When he looked at the broken door bolt, Zu Anâs face darkened. âGirl, would it hurt you to be a bit more lady-like? Iâm really worried that no one will want to marry you in the future.â
âItâs none of your business even if no one wants to marry me!â When Chu Huanzhao saw that he was still wrapped within his sheets, she couldnât help but say, âHurry and get up already! Iâm going to pull off the covers if you still donât get up!â
Her hands were already reaching into his covers while speaking.
Zu An was given a fright, saying in panic, âIâm not wearing anything! If you want to remove the covers then go for it!â
âPervert!â Chu Huanzhao instantly pulled back her hands as if she had been shocked by electricity.
Zu An became speechless. Iâm the one sleeping peacefully here and youâre barging into my room, so how am I the pervert here?!
âWhy arenât you going to school today?â Chu Huanzhaoâs face was a bit red. She turned around and asked.
âWho told you?â Zu An was a bit shocked.
âBig sis told me.â Chu Huanzhao harrumphed. She ran over right away for confirmation when her older sister told her Zu An wasnât going to school today, that she didnât have to wait for him.
âYeah, I have some important matters to take care of today.â He couldnât fall asleep again after being disturbed like this. Zu An got up and began to put on some clothes.
âTsk, what kind of important matters could you possibly have?â When she heard the sounds of him putting on clothes, Chu Huanzhaoâs little face became more and more red. At the same time, she began to wonder what her brother-in-law looked like without clothes on.
She was horrified as soon as this thought appeared in her mind. She began to spit pah pah pah!
âWhat the heck are you doing?â Zu An asked with curiosity.
âNothing! If youâre not going then whatever, Iâll go by myself!â Chu Huanzhao immediately ran away guiltily as if he might find out what she was thinking if she stayed even a second longer.
Zu An was baffled. Why did this girl suddenly get so flustered? He really couldnât figure out the thoughts of young girls.
Soon afterwards, Chu Chuyan contacted him that the silver was already being prepared, so he could start making plans.
Zu An thought to himself for a bit. Me and that Wang Yuanlong only met once. I should grab Chu Yucheng too as a middle-man. The two of them already have a good relationship.
Chu clanâs third branch was also incharge of Chu clanâs salt business, so she didnât have any objections to this either.
Soon afterwards, Chu Yucheng contacted Wang Yuanlong. By noon, the three of them already met in Immortal Abode.
Wang Yuanlong couldnât help but sigh with praise when he saw Qiu Honglei behind the beaded curtains. âI really respect Brother Zu⦠Otherwise, I would have never gotten the chance to admire lady Qiuâs beautiful zither sound from up close.â
Zu An said with a hearty laugh, âYouâre overpraising me, I donât really have any other skills, I just happen to be good with girls, haha~â
