Chapter 240 Is he going to fight his mother for the child?
Empress Shu Lan immediately grasped Gu Yan's hand: "No, you don't need to apologize. It's all my fault. I overreacted back then. I should be the one apologizing to you. Young Master Gu, no, Mr. Gu, can you forgive me?"
Empress Shu Lan seemed to have returned to her teenage years, the days when her heart was fluttering with first love, gazing at the young man before her with the tenderness of a young girl in love.
Gu Yan: "..."
Oh dear, what's going on now?
Should he not have come here?
Mu Yue watched anxiously from the side. "Mother, you haven't really fallen for Gu Yan, have you? No, no, absolutely not!" The thought of Gu Yan becoming his stepfather sent a surge of urgency through him, making him want to die.
This kind of thing must never happen.
So, he forcefully separated Gu Yan from his mother. Mu Yue said, "Mother, Gu Yan and I have some things to discuss, we'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he pulled Gu Yan away.
"What is it that we have to discuss now?" Empress Shulan asked from behind.
Mu Yue didn't answer her mother, and pulled Gu Yan away from there as quickly as possible.

Inside Mu Yue's palace.
The silver-haired, blue-eyed wolf prince and the black-haired, blue-eyed boy in white sat around a jade table. The boy in white held a wine cup in his hand and was slowly sipping the wine. Opposite him, the wolf prince had his arms crossed and was silently watching the boy in front of him.
"Mu Yue, why are you staring at me like that?" Gu Yan said with a smile.
"You don't want to be my stepfather, do you?" Mu Yue suddenly asked.
"puff--"
Gu Yan was so startled by his words that she spat out the wine in her mouth.
stepfather?
Gu Yan's lips twitched: "How could you have such a horrifying thought? I have no evil intentions towards your mother at all. Didn't I tell you that before? It was all a misunderstanding."
"But my mother seems to have impure thoughts about you now, what should we do?" Mu Yue stared intently at Gu Yan's face. He regretted letting Gu Yan appear in front of his mother. That face—women have absolutely no resistance to that face. Was his mother already infatuated with him?
Is he trying to take the child from his mother?
Wait, what do you mean by kidnapping people?
He's a man, and Gu Yan is a man too. What kind of nonsense are they thinking about?
Mu Yue shook her head, trying hard to shake those thoughts out of her mind.
"Anyway, there's no way I could have anything happen between me and your mother, so you can rest assured about that," Gu Yan said earnestly.
"That would be for the best," Mu Yue said, then stared intently at Gu Yan. "With your looks, how many romantic entanglements have you had since you were a child?"
Gu Yan: "Huh?"
"Don't tell me you don't! You must have a bunch of women, right?" Mu Yue said, his mood becoming irritable at the thought.
"What do you mean, a bunch of women? Where do I have a bunch of women? Where did you hear this rumor from?" Gu Yan said.
"Not a bunch of women? Or a bunch of men?" Mu Yue pressed aggressively.
Gu Yan's lips twitched: "You really know how to say something shocking!"
"So, does it exist or not?" Mu Yue asked.
"You're overthinking it. I cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness; I don't feel emotions," Gu Yan said quite seriously.
This was the first time Mu Yue had heard the term "Ruthless Path." He asked with a mixture of confusion and curiosity, "Ruthless Path? What is that? I've never heard of such a technique."
"The Path of Ruthlessness isn't a cultivation technique; it's a kind of... it's just a kind of path. Anyway, once you choose the Path of Ruthlessness, you can no longer have thoughts of love or affection." Gu Yan distorted the facts, figuring Mu Yue wouldn't understand anyway, so she just fooled him.
"What will happen if it moves?" Mu Yue asked.
"At best, you'll become a cripple; at worst, you'll explode and die," Gu Yan said with utmost seriousness.
Mu Yue: "...Is it really that serious? I don't believe it. How can such a cultivation technique exist in this world? What if you meet someone you like? Wouldn't all this cultivation be for nothing? What kind of evil cultivation technique is this?"
Gu Yan looked at him and said, "I've already said it's not a cultivation technique. Sigh, there's no point in explaining it to you. Anyway, I'm destined to be immune to love and romance in this life. I won't fall in love with anyone, and I hope no one will fall in love with me."
After hearing this, Mu Yue fell silent for a moment, then lowered his gaze, revealing an expression of utter disappointment.
Does he not want anyone to fall in love with him, nor does he want anyone to fall in love with him?
This means that I will never have a chance.
Wait, what is he thinking about now? What opportunity?
He's a man, a man, and Gu Yan is also a man. What is he thinking?
Mu Yue, have you lost your mind?
Gu Yan poured himself another glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and said to Mu Yue, "Thank you for the wine. I'll be going now. Let's drink again next time."
After saying that, Gu Yan disappeared in front of Mu Yue.
Mu Yue spread her divine sense outwards and found no trace of Gu Yan anywhere.

Deep in the mountains, on a cliff, a white figure suddenly appeared.
The white figure was a young man dressed in white. He looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his appearance was absolutely stunning and impeccable, and his temperament was extraordinary.
This young man was none other than Gu Yan, who had just left the Baiyue Palace.
Standing atop the mountain, Gu Yan suddenly said, "Senior, please show yourself."
The moonlight was soft and warm, and there was clearly no one else around except him. Who was he talking to?
Suddenly, a soft laugh rang out.
A tall figure appeared in the night, a handsome man with white hair and purple eyes. He stood beside the white-clad youth. His skin was slightly pale, and he exuded an ancient and terrifyingly powerful aura. His beautiful purple eyes looked at the youth, and he asked with some curiosity:
How did you find me?
"Wasn't it a senior who intentionally revealed a trace of his aura?" Gu Yan retorted.
Dugu Meng burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, little guy, you were able to detect me just by letting out a trace of your aura. You are indeed very perceptive."
"Senior, you have such a twisted sense of humor, coming all this way to eavesdrop," Gu Yan said to Dugu Meng.
"I wasn't eavesdropping. I just happened to be taking a walk here and saw you again." Dugu Meng said with a smile. For a God Emperor, the Yunlan Realm was too small. With a casual step, he could travel from the Yulan Continent to the Yuntian Continent. Even taking a walk here made him feel that the place was too cramped.
"Ruthless Dao, you were so serious when you were fooling that little wolf, did Qing Xuanzi teach you that?" Dugu Meng asked with a smile.
Gu Yan: "..."
There really is a God Emperor here, which is not good.
He can probably tell what I'm doing.
"Senior, don't you instruct your brother every day? How come you have time to take a walk here?" Gu Yan changed the subject.
"That kid's slow. Even if you give him a hint, it takes him a long time to understand. Oh, if only you were my offspring." Dugu Meng looked at Gu Yan and sighed again.
On the way to the Cloud Realm, Gu Yan asked Dugu Meng a lot of questions about cultivation. His ability to apply what he learned to other situations greatly pleased and astonished Dugu Meng. He actually knew that a genius like Gu Yan was one of a kind. Gu Duxun wasn't really stupid, but compared to him, he was incredibly stupid.
Then Dugu Meng felt jealous again.
