Chapter 156 Gu Yan the Liar
"Yan'er, I called you here because I have something to ask you," Jiang Shunhua said with a smile.
"Mother, please tell me."
"Do you know Princess Mingyue of His Majesty Tianxing?" Jiang Shunhua asked.
Gu Yan said, "Princess Mingyue? I saw her once during the last coronation ceremony."
"Just that one time?" Jiang Huan asked.
Gu Yan lied without changing her expression: "Yes, just that one time."
If he admits it, he'll be in big trouble.
"Are you sure?" Emperor Tianxing stared intently at Gu Yan.
"I'm sure," Gu Yan said.
"Jiang Yan, a true man should be responsible for his actions. Do you dare to confront my daughter?"
"certainly."
Emperor Tianxing stared at Gu Yan for a long time, then roared, "What a shameless scoundrel!! Truly all show and no substance!"
Jiang Shunhua, Jiang Huan, and Li Yuan looked at Emperor Tianxing, their eyes immediately turning cold.
How dare this guy talk like that?
Empress Tianxing said, "That day you fell from mid-air and landed right in my daughter's bath. My daughter and her maid saw it all clearly."
"That's not true. I did accidentally fall into a palace that day because of the teleportation array, but I fell into the garden. Then I was chased and after escaping, I met my third cousin. From beginning to end, I never saw Princess Mingyue," Gu Yan said.
"you……"
Emperor Tianxing was furious, but Gu Yan refused to admit it, so there was nothing he could do.
So he angrily left with his men.
After he left, Jiang Shunhua pulled Gu Yan to sit down, while Li Yuan and Jiang Huan stared intently at Gu Yan.
"Yan'er, is what they said true?" Jiang Shunhua asked.
"No," Gu Yan said.
Jiang Shunhua: "..."
She looked at her son, then chased away her husband and brother, before asking Gu Yan again, "I'll ask you one more time, is it true?"
Gu Yan lowered her head and remained silent.
Jiang Shunhua: Oh my, it's really true.
"So, you really did look at that girl..." Jiang Shunhua said in a low voice.
"Mother, I don't like her, and I don't want to marry her. So let's pretend this never happened, and you can't say anything like that," Gu Yan said earnestly.
Jiang Shunhua would never do anything to her son. He has already said he doesn't like her, so why would she force him to marry someone he doesn't like?
"We are ultimately in the wrong," Jiang Shunhua said.
"My son will find a way to make it up to Princess Mingyue in the future, but it's absolutely impossible for me to marry her," Gu Yan said.
The Yunlan Realm has an open atmosphere and does not require women to be chaste and strong. There are many female spirit masters who are also romantic and passionate.
Princess Mingyue didn't seem like the type to act like she was going to die just because a man saw her body; she was simply using some excuse to cling to him. However, he did feel somewhat guilty, but he couldn't let her compensate him with herself.
He won't admit it, he'd rather die than admit it.
"If you don't want to marry Princess Mingyue, what about your older cousins?" Jiang Shunhua asked with a smile.
Unable to win over Gu Yan, Jiang Yuan and her accomplices turned their attention to their aunt, Jiang Shunhua. Jiang Shunhua was well aware of their intentions; according to the traditions of the Tianyang royal family, choosing one of her nieces to marry her son was a perfectly reasonable matter.
"Mother, your son is focused on the Dao and doesn't want to discuss matters of personal feelings," Gu Yan said.
"Alright, alright," Jiang Shunhua sighed.
She looked at her son in front of her, feeling helpless.
To be honest, Gu Yan is still quite young in her eyes, but his strength has increased too rapidly. He's already at the early stage of the Spirit Venerable realm, and it's already very difficult to have offspring at that level, so it's even more difficult for him to continue improving his strength.
Jiang Shunhua and Li Yuan have tried for so many years, but they only have one child, Gu Yan. They want to have a second child, but they haven't been able to conceive.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shunhua was incredibly envious of her brother. His reproductive ability was simply miraculous. Their father and mother only had one son and one daughter; had he mutated?

Rows of enormous bookshelves were filled with neatly arranged ancient books. A young man dressed in white stood in front of one of the bookshelves, reaching out to take a book from it. This was the library within the Lieyang Palace, a library that housed a vast collection of books.
These books encompassed a wide range of subjects, including literature, poetry, historical records, cultivation techniques, alchemy formulas, and esoteric arts, filling the palace rooms with them.
Just as Gu Yan picked up a book, a girl in red jumped out from the side.
"Cousin!!"
Jiang Miao, who looks like a thirteen-year-old girl, has her hair styled in two buns, wears a red-gold lock, and has a pair of light gold-amber eyes that sparkle brightly. Her smile is radiant, revealing her pearly white teeth.
Gu Yan took a step back, forcing a smile:
"Cousin Miaomiao."
"What a coincidence!" Jiang Miao said with a smile. She took a step forward, looked at Gu Yan's handsome face, her heart pounding, and showed a shy expression.
"Yes." Gu Yan took another step back without revealing her feelings.
Jiang Miao immediately stepped forward: "Cousin Yan, what book are you reading?"
"The prescription," Gu Yan said.
"You like making medicine, huh?"
"fine."
"I also really enjoy alchemy, but I'm not very good at it and I always end up blowing up the furnace. Could you teach me?" Jiang Miao said with a smile.
"I'm not very skilled at alchemy. There are ninth-grade alchemists in this palace. Wouldn't it be better if you had them teach you?" Gu Yan said.
"I don't want to, I want you to teach me." Jiang Miao smiled and grabbed Gu Yan's hand.
Gu Yan: "..."
"Miaomiao, that's not right of you. How can you make things difficult for Cousin Yan?"
Jiang Qi, dressed in a light green palace gown and carrying a palace fan, walked over with a smile. The smile vanished the moment Jiang Miao saw her.
"Cousin Yan, don't pay any attention to her. This girl is used to being willful and always makes unreasonable demands," Jiang Qi said.
"You're the one being willful! I was just joking with Cousin Yan, and you actually spoke ill of me in front of him!" Jiang Miao glared angrily at her sister.
When did I say anything bad about you?
"You just said that."
As Jiang Miao and Jiang Qi were arguing, they realized that Gu Yan was gone.
"Huh? Where's my cousin?"
"Where did Cousin Yan go?"
The two women looked around but couldn't find Gu Yan. While they were bickering, Gu Yan quietly slipped away.
He slipped down from the eleventh floor of the library to the fifth floor, where he saw Jiang Yuan. Upon seeing her, he immediately flew out of the window. After leaving the library, Gu Yan landed on a rainbow bridge. After walking a few steps, Jiang Kong and Jiang Ye appeared in the distance.
"Cousin Ayan—"
Jiang Kong waved excitedly.
Without hesitation, Gu Yan turned and transformed into a long rainbow, flying towards the direction of the Temple of the Sun. As soon as Gu Yan returned to the Temple of the Sun and stepped into her study, she saw Jiang Shuo sitting behind his large desk, holding a pen and smiling at her.
Gu Yan's face darkened.
