Chen Xuan stood up.
A simple thing, yet it took so many days to decide.
"Then I’ll rely on Brother Xuan to take care of this little lady in the future."
The dust settled, and Gu Pengyou felt much better.
Besides... she didn’t expect it to be so simple.
...
Chen Xuan left Ancient Moon Studio but didn’t rush back.
Instead, he strolled along the street.
"There are so few people."
Looking at the shops on the street, they were deserted, with hardly anyone in sight.
Well, after such a long period of excitent during the September Festival, it’s ti to quiet down.
Murran, Chen Xuan stopped in his tracks.
He looked at the people in front of him.
What a coincidence, he didn’t expect Qin Hong to return to September City today.
Beside him was Gu Yun, but Jing Shishu was not present. As for the others, he didn’t recognize them, but all were of the Dao Realm.
"What a coincidence!"
"Indeed, quite the coincidence!"
The two laughed together.
"Shall we have a chat?"
Qin Hong suggested.
"Here?"
Chatting on the street? What the heck.
"Your Highness, there’s a tavern not far from here that belongs to . Shall we go there?"
Gu Yun quickly spoke up.
Qin Hong didn’t say anything but looked at Chen Xuan.
"Alright."
Seeing him agree, Qin Hong then said to Gu Yun, "Lead the way then!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Gu Yun replied respectfully, glancing at Chen Xuan, appearing quite composed, seemingly not regarding Qin Hong as a prince of Great Yu.
The group arrived at Gu Yun’s private tavern.
However, at this mont, only Chen Xuan and Qin Hong were in the private room.
On the square table, a few jars of wine and two exquisitely carved white jade cups.
But neither of them spoke first.
Chen Xuan, however, started drinking by himself.
"Do you want to go to the Imperial City?"
After a while, Qin Hong spoke.
"I’m from a small place; the Imperial City is too big, and the waters are too deep. It doesn’t really suit , but thank you, Your Highness."
Chen Xuan said calmly.
In fact, he had a rough idea of his intentions just now.
He was telling the truth; at least for now, he had no plans to go to the Imperial City.
Besides... he didn’t want to get involved in the prince’s struggles.
If he’s not careful... it could be disastrous.
"But marrying the Imperial Sister is not so easy."
In his eyes, Chen Xuan seed a bit arrogant, but it was understandable given his extraordinary talent.
If it were him, he might not even asure up.
"We’ll see. For now, I just want to focus on cultivating and aim to reach a higher Dao Realm as soon as possible."
In the end, power is about one’s strength.
Once you’re strong, everything falls into place.
After all, this is a world where might makes right.
"Fine! It’s up to you then."
Qin Hong didn’t persuade further, today was just a test, and Qin Ying was his Little Sister Qin after all.
Even if in the future... he doesn’t help him.. he shouldn’t beco an enemy either.
"Haha."
Chen Xuan chuckled, talking to smart people is sotis just this simple.
"By the way, I know the Imperial Sister gave you a place for the Emplacent of Bones; I still have two spots. If you want them, let know anyti; I’ll keep them for you."
Wow!
Even Chen Xuan was a bit surprised looking at him.
He hadn’t even agreed, and yet was offered such a benefit, this....
Really generous.
As expected of a prince of Great Yu.
"If I need them, I won’t be shy."
"Good!"
"Hahaha..."
The two of them laughed heartily together.
Back at August Inn, Qin Hong t Qin Ying but didn’t stay long, then left September City with the others.
He had been away from the Imperial City for quite so ti, and given the significant military achievents this ti, he needed to report to his father imdiately.
So... he was eager to return.
...
"He left?"
Chen Xuan ca to Qin Ying’s room.
"Yes!"
Qin Ying stood up to pour him tea and softly asked, "The Imperial Brother should have said sothing to you, right?"
Although Qin Hong didn’t say much earlier, she knew that her imperial brother really wanted to win over Chen Xuan.
"Yes, I happened to run into him earlier, and we chatted a bit."
Chen Xuan nodded, then lifted the tea, gently blew on it, and took a small sip.
"You didn’t agree."
Qin Ying could tell from his expression, and during the conversation at the entrance to the Demon Realm where Qin Hong spoke of this matter, she already guessed the outco.
After all, she understood Chen Xuan’s character—just a bit too clever.
"You guessed it right."
Chen Xuan chuckled, then patted the seat beside him, "Co and sit!"
Qin Ying obediently sat next to him.
After all, the two had mutual feelings, only hindered by Emperor Yu in between.
"But your imperial brother is quite generous, leaving two spots at the Emplacent of Bones, always holding them open!"
"The Imperial Brother has always been like that, courteous and never stingy."
"Of course, you don’t need to consider , think according to your own thoughts."
Qin Ying’s words touched Chen Xuan deeply.
Considering that he was her real brother and their relationship had always been good, to say such things showed his importance in her heart.
For a mont, he couldn’t help but hold her hands.
Grasping them in his own.
Stroking them.
Swoosh!
Qin Ying’s fair face turned red, and she slightly lowered her head.
At that mont, she wasn’t the Princess of Great Yu, just a woman.
"Don’t worry, it won’t be long; once I’m strong enough, I’ll et with Emperor Yu."
"I’m so outstanding, he shouldn’t have a reason to refuse!"
Chen Xuan was very confident.
Qin Ying raised her head, giving him a sideways glance, "You really have a thick skin."
But in her heart, she felt extrely happy.
"Oh, right!"
Qin Ying suddenly rembered sothing.
"What is it?"
Chen Xuan asked with curiosity.
