Chapter 2099: Defenses Penetrated

“How could we possibly allow that?!” Before the white-robed elder even said anything, everyone else already tried to prevent that with shocked expressions.

Are you kidding right now? Do you know what kind of person Yan Xuehen is? Even Zhao Han admired her greatly in the past, and who knows how people yearn for her day and night!

She's normally an unreachable goddess who wouldn’t let any man touch even a corner of her clothes, and yet you actually want to stay alone in a room with her while she's unconscious? Keep dreaming!

Whether it was for Yan Xuehen’s safety or the sect’s reputation, there was no way they would permit something like that.

Zu An was also really annoyed when he heard them continuously tell him to ‘stop dreaming’. These were Xuehen and Chuyan’s fellow sect members, so he didn’t want the situation to become too awkward. He could only remain patient and explain, “Sect Master Yan is Chuyan’s master, and also my… ahem, senior. Could it be that you all think that I would do something disrespectful to her?”

No matter how thick-skinned he was, he still couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed after saying that.

“Be that as it may, we still don’t feel at ease with a man in the same room as the sect master. You didn’t agree to us keeping junior sister Qi at her side either, which is really suspicious,” the white-robed elder said, starting to become fretful. If it weren’t because he was worried about Yan Xuehen’s safety and still carried a glimmer of hope, perhaps he would have already sent this guy flying a long time ago.

Zu An said in a serious voice, “The method I am using is a secret method that can only be passed down to a single generation. Outsiders cannot see it.”

Elder Qi asked, “Could it be that you are afraid that our glorious White Jade Sect would try to steal your method?”

The surroundings became noisy again. They all said that the White Jade Sect was a sect that had existed for thousands of years and had countless techniques of the highest level, and hat they definitely wouldn’t covet some other group’s random techniques.

While the argument was getting noisier and noisier, a young disciple suddenly stepped forward, saying, “I trust the regent. He definitely wishes to save the sect master and won’t do anything disrespectful to her.”

Zu An followed the source of the voice and saw that it was actually Lou Wucheng. He had previously been Li Changsheng’s personal disciple, someone who was of the same status as Chuyan. They had publicly been known as two stunning talents, but after Li Changsheng’s death, he'd suffered too much of a mental setback. Now, he had already become a bit dispirited and wasn’t as motivated as before.

“Brother Lou, you're only speaking up as a guarantee for him because he saved you, right?” another disciple retorted with a sneer.

“I vouch for him with a clear conscience!” Lou Wucheng snapped, getting a bit annoyed. In the past, this person had treated him with great respect, but now that his master had passed, the other person had started going against him because his master was still alive.

The younger disciples split into two sides and argued noisily. In the end, Zu An became impatient and said, “Enough! Just let her come in with me.”

He didn’t dare to tarry any longer, or else Yan Xuehen would really be in danger.

The White Jade Sect’s people all sighed in relief when they heard him agree. He made all of them feel too much pressure, and if he really decided to act up, the consequences would be severe. Now that he had taken a step back, it was perfect for everyone.

Zu An carried Yan Xuehen and walked toward her residence. The middle-aged daoist nun was about to follow him in when the white-robed elder secretly said through ki transmission, “Junior sister Qi, if he tries anything strange, you need to immediately alert us. We'll rush in to help you.”

With the other side’s cultivation, there was no way junior sister Qi could face him. However, the White Jade Sect was a powerful sect that had existed for over a thousand years, and had countless powerful individuals. When all of them worked together, they didn’t need to fear him.

Elder Qi voiced her understanding, then quickly followed behind Zu An.

Zu An carried Yan Xuehen into the room and saw that the layout inside was quite simple. There was only a chair, a spiritual jade bed, and a shelf full of jade strips. It seemed she normally frequently read through all kinds of techniques and skills. Apart from that, there were several vases with spiritual flowers within. They weren’t brightly colored, but rather elegant and refined, just like her personality. Other than the fragrance of flowers, there was also a faint delicate fragrance that really refreshed the mind.

When she saw Zu An carry Yan Xuehen to the bed, the middle-aged daoist nun’s brows rose. She almost couldn't hold herself back from sounding the alarm. Fortunately, Zu An gently placed her on the bed and got up to leave. He didn’t do anything disrespectful, and walked toward Elder Qi instead.

Elder Qi sighed in relief, but at the same time, she found it a bit strange. She asked, “Didn’t you say that you had a way to treat Sect Master Yan? Why aren’t you starting?”

“I’ll start after dealing with you, of course,” Zu An said with a grin.

The middle-aged daoist nun sensed that something was off and was about to press down on the jade talisman she held, when everything in front of her darkened and she fainted. The last thought in her head was shock. She was a respected elder, for better or for worse, so why couldn't she even stop a single strike from him?

After knocking Elder Qi out, Zu An returned to the bed. This bed was probably the only valuable piece of ‘furniture’ in the room. It was made entirely from spiritual jade, so that even when sleeping, the resting individual would still absorb the world’s natural ki for cultivation. He undid Yan Xuehen's clothes, and the entire room seemed to brighten a bit. Even the beautiful spiritual jade bed seemed to pale in comparison.

Unfortunately, right now, Zu An wasn’t in the mood to enjoy the beautiful sight; instead, he took her tightly into his own embrace. He pressed one hand down on the center of her chest, and the other on her fair and smooth back, to understand her current condition better. He quickly sent primordial ki into her body to help her with the clashing energies within her. Only once the chaotic energies within her calmed down a bit could he start to repair her damaged arteries.

This time, Yan Xuehen’s injuries were especially severe, to the extent that not even the best divine physicians of the world would be able to heal her. Fortunately, not only did he have his primordial ki, he had also learned the Unshakable Daoist Manual and could change his ki to be of the same source as Yan Xuehen’s. That way, the berserk ki inside of her body wouldn’t produce an intense backlash.

He quickly focused his attention and began the treatment.

All of the White Jade Sect’s higher ups were gathered outside, and many of them nervously paced back and forth.

“Elder, do you think Sect Master Yan can be treated?” someone couldn't help but ask the white-robed elder.

“The regent sounded really confident, so he should be able to, right…” the white-robed elder said uncertainly. After all, he had examined the state of Yan Xuehen’s body. Even if she was saved miraculously somehow, she would most likely turn into a cripple. Even though the regent was really strong, he wasn’t omnipotent.

“I wonder just how he'll save her,” another elder said, his expression full of worry.

The white-robed elder gave him a look. He knew that in the past, this man had really tried to chase after Yan Xuehen, but over the years, as his cultivation and age increased, he eventually accepted reality. And yet, how could the passionate time of his youth be so easily forgotten?

He replied, “Don’t worry, junior sister Qi is watching inside. If she doesn’t alert us, that means the regent didn’t treat the sect master with disrespect.”

When he realized that he'd been seen through, the elder’s face turned red, and so he retreated.

Everyone present looked at the residence in front of them nervously.

Meanwhile, inside, Yan Xuehen was also gradually waking up. When she noticed that she was completely naked and that there was a strange feeling coming from her, her entire body immediately went rigid. She was about to prepare for a fight when Zu An said from beside her, “You just experienced cultivation deviation, so don’t use your ki.”

When she heard that familiar sound, Yan Xuehen sighed in relief. She turned around and gave him a look. Her entire body was already covered in a layer of pink. She murmured, “You… How could you…”

“Hey, big sis, can you please not let your emotions run wild again? Just now, you gave me such a huge surprise that I was left with no other method to save you but this one,” Zu An said with a sigh. To be honest, he had almost been sucked dry by White and Dark Jing Teng on the way here, so at first, he really hadn’t considered this method.

Yan Xuehen gradually recalled what happened. With her cultivation, she naturally knew how dangerous it was. She sighed and said, “I really didn’t expect to have already developed such a serious inner demon. It’s honestly all your fault…”

Zu An was speechless, asking, “Didn’t I help you get rid of it?”

Yan Xuehen was dumbstruck. However, she suddenly frowned and said, “Chuyan has just gone missing, and yet we're doing something like this. I really am a shameless and bad master…”

When he saw a tear slide down her perfect cheek, Zu An was startled and hurriedly consoled her, saying, “All of this is my fault. You absolutely can't blame yourself! Otherwise, you really might die if you develop another inner demon!”

“If I die, then at least everything will be over,” Yan Xuehen said, feeling alarmed when she sensed his movements. She lowered her head and bit down on him before asking, “Why aren’t you affected by any inner demons at all?”

Zu An didn’t really understand it either. A while later, he said, “It might be because I’m already trash?”

Yan Xuehen was speechless. She felt as if even her teeth were aching a bit from her anger, exclaiming, “You womanizer! You’re probably really proud of yourself, thinking that you’ve obtained both master and disciple, huh? Why would you get an inner demon then?”

Zu An felt wronged and cried out, “It’s clearly your cultivation technique that’s weird. Why do you have to cultivate something that goes so harshly against human nature?!”

“I was going to fully devote myself to cultivation to begin with. At the time, I figured that it wouldn’t matter much even if I abandoned my emotions and desires. Besides, the Unshakable Daoist Manual has faster cultivation speed than other techniques,” Yan Xuehen said, giving him a look. “How could I have known that eventually, I would meet a guy like you?”

Zu An was actually a bit proud of himself. He couldn't help but move a bit closer, asking, “Was it so bad to meet me?”

Yan Xuehen’s body trembled. She instinctively clutched her own mouth before she suddenly remembered something important. “Right, I remember that when I was unconscious, the sect’s people seemed to have rushed over. You didn’t kill any of them, did you?”

“No way! How could I touch any of your people? They’re all waiting outside,” Zu An replied.

Yan Xuehen sighed when she heard the first half, but she went rigid when she heard the latter half. She was speechless.
