Chapter 35

Originally, she and Chen Chang'an had no grudges, after all, they were once betrothed.

To have come to this point, it was almost like a nightmare in her heart.

She did not want to admit that she had made the wrong choice!

Therefore, the guilt towards Chen Chang'an, from unwillingness, gradually turned into resentment!

Everyone wanted to see her humiliated, and she also wanted to prove to everyone that her choice was right, and Chen Chang'an was the one who was the fool!

Thus, Gu Qingcheng and Gu Qingshan, along with several family elders, hurriedly left the house.

...

After this period of cultivation, Chen Chang'an's cultivation had terrifyingly reached the Ninth Level of the Heavenly Martial Realm!

"Phew..." Chen Chang'an gently exhaled, then looked outside the door, "Enter."

The servant who had been waiting outside the door for a long time quickly pushed the door open and brought in a sumptuous meal.

"Master, Princess Mingyue has arrived. She said that the ruler's condition has worsened and wants you and our Fifth Master to go to the palace to help. She also brought many gifts."

As he spoke, he placed a spatial ring on the table.

Chen Chang'an narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, he was incredibly eager for resources.

Because with resources, advancing in cultivation was as simple as drinking water.

"Is the Fifth Master willing to go to the palace?" Chen Chang'an looked at the spatial ring on the table, eating while casually asking.

"The Fifth Master instructed me to have you go. This is the Fifth Master's jade slip for you."

The servant then gave Chen Chang'an a white, elongated jade, which could record text.

Chen Chang'an nodded, "Chen De, is the princess still waiting in the main hall?"

"Yes, Master."

Chen De nodded.

"Alright, then I'll go to the palace with her. I'll take the resources in this spatial ring."

Chen Chang'an said, then got up and walked towards the Chen family's main hall.

When he entered the main hall, he saw Ji Mingyue, dressed in snow-white gauze, exquisitely noble.

However, her delicate eyebrows, while exuding a spiritual aura, had a faint sorrow in her gem-like black eyes.

"Princess Mingyue."

Chen Chang'an said.

"Ah, Chang'an, you've come out of seclusion." Ji Mingyue, who had been lost in thought, seemed startled.

Seeing Chen Chang'an, she immediately brightened, moved forward gracefully, and approached with a fragrant breeze.

Then she said resentfully, "Call me Mingyue."

Chen Chang'an smiled faintly, indifferent, "Alright."

He looked at the stunningly beautiful Ji Mingyue, whose sorrowful face had a captivating charm.

If she were a few years older, she would undoubtedly be a woman who could make countless men lose their souls, but even now, her fragility made one want to cherish her.

"Why did I fall in love with Gu Qingcheng a hundred years ago and ignore this gem-like princess?"

Chen Chang'an touched his nose, speechless.

"Chang'an, can you invite the Fifth Master of the Chen family to help my father with his illness?"

Ji Mingyue looked at Chen Chang'an with anticipation.

Seeing her slightly swollen eyes, Chen Chang'an was even more speechless.

Why can't you, Ji Wentian, come to the Chen family directly?

However, he did not say this but instead said calmly,

"The Fifth Master gave me a method that might temporarily alleviate your father's pain. I'll go back to the palace with you."

"Really, that's great!"

Ji Mingyue was overjoyed, her smile instantly brightening the entire hall.

Chen Chang'an's mood also improved, so he left the Chen residence with Ji Mingyue, heading towards the palace.

On the main street of the capital city.

"Chang'an, why aren't we taking a carriage? Why are we walking?"

Ji Mingyue asked curiously.

"I don't know. The Second Master said to walk and spend more time with you."

Chen Chang'an said, speechless.

Ji Mingyue was delighted.

She didn't expect the Chen family elders to be trying to bring her and Chen Chang'an together!

Then she lowered her head, "Well... that's fine."

Chen Chang'an glanced at her and smiled, "Aren't you worried about your father's condition?"

"I... my father said that if I can spend more time alone with you, then nothing else needs to be rushed..."

By the end, Ji Mingyue's voice was like a mosquito's buzz.

Chen Chang'an was speechless. This emperor is quite something.

"Alright, don't keep your head down, watch the road."

Chen Chang'an lifted her head.

"Ah!"

Such an intimate gesture made Ji Mingyue blush.

The servants and Ji Mingyue's guards, who were following behind, all smiled knowingly.

At this moment, Chen Chang'an suddenly felt a chill, a coldness rushing to the top of his head!

It was as if he had been glanced at by a venomous snake, making him stop in his tracks.

Then Ji Mingyue "ya" and bumped into him.

Chen Chang'an instinctively held her but scanned the crowd with his eyes.

Earlier, someone's aura had swept over him, but he had caught it with his incredible sensitivity.

That person's aura was very strong!

"It's nothing."

Chen Chang'an subconsciously touched the person in his arms and said, "Let's go."

"Ah...? Oh, okay." Ji Mingyue, confused, followed Chen Chang'an, a smile involuntarily appearing on her lips.

"Who is it?"

Chen Chang'an was puzzled.

Just as he took a few steps, a luxurious figure appeared about ten zhang ahead.

His aura and posture were impossible to ignore.

It was a young man, exceptionally handsome, wearing a brocade robe that emitted a faint spiritual energy, clearly a treasure.

When Chen Chang'an focused on this person, the strong aura in the shadows instantly locked onto him, gradually coalescing.

Chen Chang'an instantly understood that the owner of this terrifying aura... was likely protecting the young man in the brocade robe!

Thinking of this, he felt a chill.

If this person was targeting him, he wasn't sure if the elders of his family could handle the powerful figure in the shadows...

Just as he was thinking, the young man in the brocade robe was gradually approaching, seemingly about to pass by.

Chen Chang'an couldn't help but size him up.

He saw a faint smile on his lips, his head held high, occasionally frowning, showing disdain and contempt for his surroundings.

This demeanor suggested that the person must come from a place rich in spiritual energy, and upon arriving here, he naturally exuded an unparalleled nobility!

"Hmph, looks like another young master from a major family playing in a small border country!"

Chen Chang'an sneered inwardly, then turned his gaze and continued walking.

But just as they were about to pass each other, the young man's originally proud gaze suddenly turned to them!

Chen Chang'an instantly felt something was wrong. He remembered the stunning beauty of the woman beside him, a magnet for trouble!

Sure enough, the young man's gaze was fixed on her, his entire being seemingly losing its soul, his eyes following Ji Mingyue's movements, trembling violently.

Given his background, he had seen countless beauties.

The women he had been with were countless.

He had originally looked down on this small border country, Dongzhou.

But here, he encountered a girl who so captivated his heart that he instantly lost his soul.

"Heaven, this trashy Great Zhou Kingdom actually has such a beauty... No wonder Jun Wujian is willing to come here!"

He muttered, dazed. Seeing Chen Chang'an and Ji Mingyue pass by, he suddenly came to his senses and blocked their path.
