Apart from the Dragon Sun Saint Physique, Gu Lan once again acquired a new constitution, one that could only be forged in the postnatal stage–an Emperor-grade physique!
This bestowed upon Gu Lan imnse confidence.
"If nothing unexpected happens, that protagonist fellow should be arriving in the capital by the end of next year, right?"
Perhaps seizing the opportunity before he fully matures and eliminating him directly? However, the backlash from Destiny would undoubtedly be formidable...
After pondering for a mont, Gu Lan looked around.
"Xiaoqi? Had enough fun, it's ti for us to go ho."
...
Since Gu Lan finished expounding on the scriptures, Monk Zhi Kong bowed three tis and left. Mu Yuyan also departed from the west gate tower.
There might not be a need to worry about Master Gu anymore in the future. This guy's strength has consistently shattered my understanding...
After marrying Gu Lan, her world had been constantly overturned.
Whether it was day or night, the path of literature or martial arts!
Before returning to Gu Residence.
Liu Yexi arrived halfway and suggested, "Your Majesty, if the young master hasn't returned by the end of today's morning court, would you like to return to the palace for court?"
In a few more months, the female Emperor's pregnancy would beco apparent. Explore more stories with empire
Taking advantage of the current situation to make more public appearances could stabilize the military's morale, as well as serve as a deterrent.
This way, so ambitious courtiers wouldn't slack off and beco corrupt, just like a year ago.
Mu Yuyan thought for a mont, then nodded gently, "Yes... there are indeed quite a few troubles in the capital recently. I'll go back to the palace first to handle state affairs!"
The mastermind behind the recent rebellion at the Great Ming Enlightennt Temple was still unknown, and now there was a case involving rapists.
The female Emperor did need to return to the palace.
She already had a few suspects in mind. Even if she wasn't certain for the ti being, it was necessary to probe openly and covertly...
...
"Master, co over quickly!"
Gu Xiaoqi's voice echoed from deep within the forest.
Gu Lan strode over and saw that the place she was in was actually a conspicuous open space in the woods, scattered with various rocks.
The shapes of these rocks were diverse.
It looked like a stone forest... but in the mountains near the Great Jing Imperial City, where no one ca to admire, how could there be such a scene?
"This stone forest is sowhat extraordinary."
After observing for a while, Gu Lan concluded.
Gu Xiaoqi nodded in agreent.
"All the strange stones are connected to the underground foundation, forming a single giant rock, not a scenic view pieced together. This stone forest is more like a crafted piece of art!"
Gu Lan's divine sense penetrated the ground, slowly revealing the information.
Gu Xiaoqi asked in confusion, "Could it be so kind of formation?"
"Well... it's possible, but the capital is prosperous, and the common people don't co to the mountains. This place has been abandoned for a long ti."
Gu Lan explored the strange stones around, but found nothing unusual.
"It's probably an abandoned formation. In a few days, I'll have your brother Zhongren co and take a look. Maybe there are records in the Tianji Pavilion..."
Gu Xiaoqi nodded.
Then, she transford back to her original form and flew Gu Lan out of the stone forest.
Just as they were approaching the outskirts of the mountains.
A beautiful blue figure suddenly appeared in front!
"Sir, Dragon Clan's Ao Hanyi requests an audience!"
Ao Hanyi had been waiting here since last night when she saw Gu Lan leave the city and battle with Monk Zhi Kong.
Finally, she saw Gu Lan!
She looked at Gu Lan with anticipation, but was slightly stunned!
Because at this mont, Gu Lan had not used any disguise. His handso and jade-like appearance was revealed, standing tall like a spear, his blue clothes fluttering, untainted by worldly dust, presenting the image of a noble and extraordinary young man!
Not to ntion his unparalleled strength!
So, this is your true appearance. It's hard to imagine that such a good-looking person would actually snatch the Saint Dragon Clock and run away... Ao Hanyi stared at Gu Lan's face, and the first thought that ca to her mind was what Gu Lan did to them that night!
"Didn't I tell you not to follow ?" Gu Xiaoqi saw her first and rebuked.
The little phoenix thought that Ao Hanyi had followed her yesterday based on her own aura. If the master didn't want to see her, she would have caused trouble for the master.
"I..." Ao Hanyi opened her mouth, but she was not sure if the benefits she brought today would impress Gu Lan. She swallowed her words back.
"It's okay, Xiaoqi."
Gu Lan was quite indifferent and waved his hand.
He knew why Ao Hanyi had been persistent in finding him.
It was just a piece of information, and it wouldn't hurt to tell her... Well, as long as the Saint Dragon Clock was not ntioned, we are good friends.
"Do you want information about your aunt?" Gu Lan asked in a soft voice.
As soon as Ao Hanyi heard his tone, she knew that he must know sothing useful. Her pretty face beca a bit excited!
"Yes, yes! As long as you tell , after March, I am willing to present a thousand-year night pearl from the East Sea as a gift. If there are other gifts you want, you can ask. If you can really find my aunt, you will beco a lifelong friend of our Dragon Clan!"
She hurriedly said, fearing that Gu Lan would refuse if she spoke slowly.
Gu Lan was taken aback.
Thinking that I didn't ask for any benefits, why is this girl so eager to add chips?
Well, the specialty from the East Sea sounds good... Gu Lan smiled, his eyes bright, and he decided to remain silent for a while.
Since the Dragon Clan is willing to offer, it would be impolite not to give them face! Gu Xiaoqi, being clever, noticed the change in her master's expression.
She found it quite amusing!
"Hey! Ao Hanyi, in the next few days, I want to go out and play, but my master doesn't have a mount for travel. How about you... give my master a ride for a few days?!"
Gu Xiaoqi revealed a sly smirk.
Ao Hanyi's pretty face turned white!
She nervously looked at Gu Lan, biting her lip. If he really made such a request, she wouldn't know what to do...
Fortunately!
After hearing it, Gu Lan gave a slap on the head of Xiaoqi, causing the latter to cry out in grievance!
"Miss Hanyi, don't listen to Xiaoqi's nonsense. She's just teasing you."
Gu Lan smiled gently.
It's impossible not to take advantage of a situation, but asking for too much is inappropriate. Taking advantage of soone in a vulnerable state would truly be sordid...
Only then did Ao Hanyi breathe a sigh of relief.
"If I didn't read it wrong from the mory fragnts of that old dragon, your aunt should have jumped down the Immortal Extinction Cliff in the Yao Realm, near the Demon God City."
Gu Lan didn't play any more tricks.
Ao Hanyi nodded, her lips murmuring as she tried to rember the na Immortal Extinction Cliff.
"Why did your aunt, back then, get forced into the Yao Realm by a group of king-level Yao beasts, and she seed heavily injured?"
Gu Lan wondered.
The Dragon Clan princess back then might have been young and had a low cultivation level, but there shouldn't have been no one to protect her! Moreover, the Dragon Clan and the Flood Dragon Clan were both part of the sa dragon lineage.
The scene included not only the old dragon but also many Yao Clan mbers from the East Sea joining forces to besiege the Dragon Clan princess. How could there be a feeling of family fighting against each other?
Hearing this, Ao Hanyi's expression beca complex, and she hesitated before saying, "Actually, this matter is a disgrace for our Dragon Clan. Back then, my aunt was forced out of the East Sea because of the Deposed Crown Prince..."
The Deposed Crown Prince, who was the brother of the Dragon Clan princess. Gu Lan interrupted, "If you don't want to talk about it, it's okay. I can understand."
"In fact..."
After a mont of contemplation, Ao Hanyi's face turned slightly red, "Sir, soone of your cultivation level can be told about it. Back then, the Deposed Crown Prince was my uncle. When he found out that my aunt's physique was the Pure Profound Yin Body, which is commonly known in your human race as the innate furnace... "
