My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

At Zhe Liang's words, a smile graced his lips.

A glint reappeared in his eyes as he glanced toward the direction of the imperial city, bowing respectfully.

"Master, I will not disappoint you."

Zhe Liang murmured softly, then turned to Zhongren beside him, and to Gu Xiaoqi, who feigned an air of maturity.

"Both of you, too, must cultivate diligently."

"As we venture to the Underworld, our paths shall cross again at the pinnacle!"

Leaving behind a promise of reunion at the peak.

After embracing them briefly, Zhe Liang descended the teahouse alone.

Seeing this, Black Abyss followed suit.

"We bid farewell."

Fierce Fire cast a glance at Gu Xiaoqi, brimming with reverence and reluctance.

If he could escort a descendant of the ancient gods to ascend to the Demon Realm, the rewards would be beyond imagination!

But even if he were beaten to death, he wouldn't dare to broach the subject.

The people around Gu Lan had learned about it from other dynasties before coming to the Jing Nation.

That descendant of the ancient gods was named Gu Xiaoqi.

Whether it was in terms of bloodline purity or relations, she was closely linked to Gu Lan.

So, in the end, he left with a sense of self-awareness.

"I always feel those two envoys' gazes are rather peculiar."

"But just now, Zhe Liang's words suddenly gained such elegance, did he learn from the master? ...We shall see if he becomes more formidable when we meet at the pinnacle."

Gu Xiaoqi raised a small fist toward the direction Zhe Liang departed, punching with determination.

She lifted her chin, her eyes showing a rare longing.

Zhongren remained silent, only gazing resolutely in the direction Zhe Liang had left.

...

"At this moment, I am in the courtyard of Gu Mansion."

In the evening, as he emerged from the Meditation Hall, Gu Lan silently recited.

In an instant, his figure vanished from the spot.@@novelbin@@

"The sun is shining, the scenery is beautiful, Old Yang I rise early and sleep well, my body grows stronger with each passing day..."

In the evening breeze, Old Yang had just finished a set of Eight Section Brocade, and his spirit instantly rejuvenated.

Every morning and evening, without fail, Old Yang practiced the Eight Section Brocade.

Turning around, a figure caught his eye.

Old Yang's face lit up instantly, stepping forward to greet.

"Young Master, you've returned!"

"Old Yang, you seem to grow younger with each passing day!"

Gu Lan approached familiarly, patting Old Yang's shoulder.

At the same time, with this pat, he infused Old Yang with a stream of true qi.

To invigorate his meridians and regulate his body.

"Thanks to the peerless martial arts you've imparted to me, I practice diligently every day, yielding such effects."

Old Yang felt even more spirited, immediately demonstrating the starting posture of the Eight Section Brocade with his hands.

He raised an eyebrow, looking at Gu Lan, as if to say, "Come and praise this old man of mine."

"The Eight Section Brocade indeed has the effect of strengthening the body, but the results you've achieved are all thanks to your own efforts, Old Yang."

"Oh, by the way, Old Yang, do you know where the guest brought back by Lady Shangguan is staying today?"

"Oh, Young Master is looking for that person, well, he's staying in that... that room!"

Upon hearing his young master's praise, Old Yang couldn't stop grinning, then pointed out the room where Chen Feng was staying.

"Then, Old Yang, you keep practicing, I'll go meet him."

Gu Lan nodded at his words, heading towards the room.

In Gu Mansion, there were many ordinary people like Old Yang, so Gu Lan wouldn't frequently resort to manipulation within Gu Mansion.

Of course, when necessary, he would still use it.

Divination!

[Chen Feng]

[Destiny: Red - 100-100...]

Sure enough... Gu Lan smiled knowingly, gently knocking on the door.

At the same time, he glanced at the roof.

There, a graceful figure sat cross-legged in meditation, dressed in a black gown.

It was Shangguan Yuyang.

She was practicing on the rooftop, having just told herself to meet Chen Feng... Isn't that blatant eavesdropping?

Who would practice meditation on the rooftop?

Gu Lan shook his head, resigned to her antics.

She still harbored suspicions about herself; after all, Chen Feng could see through anyone, and she definitely wanted to know what he was up to...

But that was fine.

Gu Lan hadn't entirely let her guard down, maintaining a delicate balance of cooperation over the past six months.

"Please come in!"

At that moment, upon hearing the knock, Chen Feng immediately stood up excitedly.

As the words left his mouth, he realized he shouldn't be too excited.

He needed to be rational, calm, and maintain the demeanor of Destiny Boy...

Chen Feng took a deep breath, and straightened his attire, then, upon recognizing the other's ethereal and otherworldly presence, he bowed ninety degrees in respect.

"I am Chen Feng, paying my respects to Senior Prince Jingyang!"

This answer he obtained from a kitchen lady in Gu Mansion after sacrificing his looks.

This was Prince Jingyang's residence.

And the transcendent figure he was about to meet was none other than the master of this mansion.

Having journeyed from a fishing village in the East Sea, he had heard countless tales of Prince Jingyang's legends.

From the Empress's favorite to the revered figure of the Jing Nation, enshrined in the Tianji Pavilion; such a legendary life was the aspiration of countless individuals... He just hadn't expected that the one he would meet would be this person!

Chen Feng raised his head and glanced lightly at Gu Lan.

In an instant, there was a sense of illusion... It seemed as if all the opportunities that had slipped away from him were returning!

The senior was indeed his great opportunity, something he should have realized long ago... Chen Feng was ecstatic.

With just that fleeting glance earlier, Gu Lan's transcendent and ethereal demeanor had already won him over.

On the rooftop, Shangguan Yuyang sensed the situation inside the room.

Although Chen Feng exuded a powerful and mysterious Destiny, not weakening even in front of the envoys of the Three Realms.

But in front of Gu Lan, Chen Feng seemed like nothing more than an ordinary loser, even quite humble and eager to please... The gap was too wide; perhaps Destiny was just about having good luck!

Gu Lan looked up at the rooftop but didn't expose Shangguan's perception.

He turned to Chen Feng and began to ask questions.

"Are you Chen Feng?"

"Yes, senior."

"You were born in a small fishing village in the East Sea, orphaned at a young age, raised by the kindness of others, and looked down upon by your peers from a young age, is that correct?"

"Yes!"

"Your parents also left you a few things to turn misfortune into fortune, did they not?"

"Um... Yes!"

With each affirmation from Chen Feng, his surprise grew!

Even knowing such hidden matters...

It showed how much the senior valued him!

Even delving into his past experiences with such precision!

Chen Feng's eyes sparkled with conviction; the senior was indeed the great opportunity destined for him!

"Very well, you've done well."

"From the East Sea village to the capital of the Jing Nation, you must have endured a lot of hardships along the way, haven't you?" Gu Lan asked lightly.

At this question, Chen Feng instantly felt bitter, immediately recounting the tragic encounters and strokes of luck he had experienced along the way.

Many of them were small details not mentioned in the original text, but each was more absurd than the last.

Even Gu Lan couldn't help but sigh upon hearing them; if it weren't for being the protagonist, anyone experiencing such trials along the way would have died a hundred deaths by now, right?

Only with such Destiny could one thrive in the Six Realms even with mediocre talent.

Gu Lan recalled the timeline...

Forget it, the timeline had long been messed up.

By the timeline, Chen Feng should have ascended to the Immortal Realm by now, suffering in the Blissful Immortal Palace... Well, fortunately, he had indirectly rescued him.

"Senior, please accept me as your disciple!"

Chen Feng suddenly performed a grand ceremony for the apprentice.

This sudden move caught Gu Lan off guard.

Even the woman on the eaves was stunned!

Wasn't this guy just tearfully recounting his painful experiences a moment ago? How did the narrative suddenly switch to wanting to apprentice and learn?

And he even wanted to apprentice under the prestigious Tianji Pavilion's honored master right off the bat.

Destiny Boy, could you please retrieve your dignity?
