A furious blush consumed Chu Chuyan’s cheeks Countless people had praised her beauty over the years, but most of them did it in an indirect manner This was the first time someone had so directly and passionately complimented her, and it left her a little self-conscious

Zu An decided to rein himself in for now, and the five of the for them to finish up, and the servants quickly entered with saltwater for thele their mouths hile they whisked away the plates and utensils
Zu An was puzzled at this new development Food was usually sent to his room, but today, he had been called over to the ether with the rest of the fa to be accepted by thetian suddenly spoke up “Chuyan, hoas your trip to Luling?”
Zu An was taken aback Were they going to talk business in his presence? Had they truly stopped viewing hiated the oods were intercepted by the Blackwind Stockade I swept the area with my men, but it was as if they had vanished frole trace of them,” replied Chu Chuyan
The Blackwind Stockade? Zu An fell into deep thought
Two days ago, when he met Yu Yanluo in a mountain valley outside the city, he had also sturoup of people who identified the of this matter really infuriated him Yu Yanluo had si act Truly, theshe was
Chu Zhongtian sighed deeply “That’s the unique trait of the Blackwind Stockade They are always able to sense danger and flee beforehand As soon as we dispatch an aron Mountain to seek refuge We can’t possibly dispatch an arle tih nut to crack”
He paused for a brief moment “I heard that the Blackwind Stockade assaulted the Yu clan’s convoy a while ago, and quite a few of their ether with the Yu clan to deal with this poisonous tumor”
Qin Wanru snorted “I think you’re just interested in Yu Yanluo, aren’t you?” she said coolly “The Yu clan already has enough problems to deal with How could she possibly spare the attention to help us deal with the Blackwind Stockade?”
Chu Zhongtian’s face immediately reddened He pulled his wife’s sleeves and said, “It’s not what you’re thinking Besides, the kids are still around”
Qin Wanru turned her head away, coldly ignoring her husband
A knowing sraced Zu An’s lips It seeer years Well, he could relate to that She was indeed unbelievably beautiful
Chu Chuyan broke the aard at her throat, and she continued her report “Our ar The pollution of the spirit creek e when it co In addition, the Yuan clan has found a fairly formidable runee now are not so far below ours in quality, and they’re cheaper too They have already eaten into quite a bit of our market share At this rate, even the foundations of our business ht be shaken”
Zu An processed the inforlow he’d seen coe—that was probably the work of a rune functions to items, so naturally, weapons that were inscribed with runes tended to be more powerful than ordinary ones
If only that darned acade e, I wouldn’t have been so bored out of htmoon Academy It was deemed to be the best acadeood reason, and the teachers working there were the crea about propriety and other such drivel was because he was in the Yellow class
Those in the Yellow class had barely any cultivation talent anyway, so it was less for them to learn much about subjects related to cultivation As such, they only had one or two lessons each week that touched upon general knowledge relating to cultivation
On the other hand, the other classes, especially the Sky class, were focused mainly on cultivation and had fewer lessons on other hter’s report “How in the world did the Yuan clan e to hire a runemaster? When did they find such connections?”
“They don’t have the Wu clan does The patriarch of the Wu clan is a duke as well, and they have been interested in snatching up our Chu clan’s , and it see the Yuan clan in this matter Otherwise, the Yuan clan wouldn’t have dared to challenge us openly,” replied Chu Chuyan
“Indeed! That Yuan felloas really arrogant at school today He said that he would teachthe Clans Tournament!” Chu Huanzhao had had no place in the conversation thus far, but now that a familiar name had finally popped up, she immediately leaped at the opportunity to e “The Yuan clan has gone too far! Even a servant or a dog of our Chu clan shouldn’t face such oppression froo! We’ll head over to the Yuan Estate to reason with them!”
Zu An sent Qin Wanru a veno to hide the fact that he’d taken offence at her state has already been appointed as the governor, and without a doubt, he’s looking for a reason to crack down on us” Chu Zhongtian quickly stood up to restrain his wife “We all need to calht just worsen our plight”
Zu An’s eyebrows shot up Despite the Chu clan’s glamorous exterior, it seetian stroked his wife’s back to calm her down As he did so, he turned to Zu An “Zu An, Yuan Wendong ht?”
Before Zu An could respond, Chu Huanzhao butted in, “It wasn’t just Yuan Wendong Even Hong Xingying wanted to deal with my brother-in-law too! He’s supposed to be a subordinate of our Chu clan, but that damned two-faced scoundrel chose to side with outsiders instead!”
Zu An was touched by how Chu Huanzhao was speaking up for him At the very least, she doted on hitian frowned “Hong Xingying?”
Qin Wanru spoke up “I know that child He has a huge ego, and he was really fond of your older sister previously Naturally, he doesn’t carry any goodwill toward Zu An As you know, young people tend to find it hard to rein in their e to let the ht,” Qin Wanru waved her into silence “That child is a diligent one, and his father has been loyal to us forup such ainst us”
