Chapter 249 Meeting an Old Friend
Looking at Gu Yan in front of her, Song Yan was filled with emotion. More than 10,000 years had passed, and he still looked like a young man, so perfect, but the distance between them had become even greater.
"I just got back," Gu Yan said.
Song Yan gazed at Gu Yan's face. She had so much to say, but she didn't know what to say. So, she just stared at Gu Yan in a daze.
Gu Yan gestured invitingly: "Let's sit down and talk."
Song Yan nodded.
With a wave of his hand, Gu Yan displayed cups and refreshments on the table. Although he had no romantic feelings for Song Yan, they were still friends. It was normal to chat with an old friend.
"How have you been these past few years?" Gu Yan asked, handing Song Yan a cup of tea.
"I...I'm doing very well..."
Song Yan picked up the tea that Gu Yan handed her and slowly began to tell her story. Her parents had passed away, and in recent years, besides making regular trips to Qingyun City, she had also traveled to other places, during which time many things had happened. She spoke slowly, and Gu Yan listened attentively beside her, occasionally interjecting with a word or two.
"I really want to go to the Cloud Sky Continent and see what the Tianyang Empire is like, but unfortunately I can't," Song Yan said regretfully.
Gu Yan looked at her and said, "You'll have your chance in the future."
For Gu Yan now, calming the raging storms and thunder of the Endless Sea would be a piece of cake. He plans to connect the three continents and build bridges between them.
"Really?" Song Yan looked at Gu Yan happily. Then, as if remembering something, she asked softly, "Then, then, when the time comes, could you... could you take me around to see the sights?"
Gu Yan smiled and said, "If there's an opportunity, yes."
Hearing this promise, Song Yan felt extremely happy. Now she didn't ask for anything else; just looking at the person in front of her and being able to talk to him made her feel incredibly happy.
"You... your name is actually Jiang Yan, right?" Song Yan suddenly said.
"You can still call me Gu Yan, it's an important name to me too," Gu Yan said. After all, that was his name in his previous life, the name given to him by his master.
By the way, has Master come out of seclusion yet?
Gu Yan thought of Qing Xuanzi.
"Could you also tell me about what has happened to you over the years?" Song Yan asked softly.
Gu Yan looked into Song Yan's eyes, and Song Yan blushed the moment their gazes met. Gu Yan looked away and began to tell her story, this time with Song Yan listening attentively. Gu Yan talked for a long time, until the sun went down, before Song Yan got up to leave. When she left, Gu Yan gave her several bottles of medicinal pills that would benefit her.
As soon as Song Yan left, Gu Yan's parents appeared.
"Son, you've really caused a lot of trouble," Li Yuan said from the side.
Gu Yan: "..."
What harm has he done? Has he done nothing wrong?
Jiang Shunhua, standing to the side, laughed and said, "Such a devoted girl, why don't you just marry her?"
"Yeah, yeah, and then marry all your cousins too, and that princess, that empress, just marry them all," Li Yuan laughed from the side.
Gu Yan said, "Father, Mother, please stop joking."
What is he? A stallion?
"By the way, Su Ningxue and those other girls have all gotten married," Jiang Shunhua suddenly said with a smile.
"Huh?" Gu Yan was a little surprised, and Su Ningxue's image immediately popped into his mind.
She got married.
"I heard she lost her memory, then met someone who looked somewhat like you, and got married. Now she seems to be living a very happy life," Jiang Shunhua said with a smile.
Gu Yan nodded and said, "That's great."
Forget him, live your own life, don't hang yourself on his tree, that's the best way. Thinking of this, a thought flashed through his mind: should he give Song Yan a forget-me-not pill or something, so she could forget him?
The thought only flashed through his mind for a moment; he couldn't do it because it would be disrespectful to Song Yan.
In any case, he cannot forcibly interfere in other people's lives or force them to make choices.
"Your Uncle Ding has prepared a big table of dishes. Come on, let's have a good meal together as a family."
As he spoke, Li Yuan put his arm around his son and wife and walked inside.
After staying in Qingyun City for a few days, Gu Yan thought of her old friends on the Miro Continent, and then she remembered that she seemed to be the King of Yue. Alas, he, the King of Yue, had not governed his country for more than 10,000 years. If she went to Yue now, would they still recognize him as their king?
Gu Yan felt slightly apologetic towards the people of Yue. After thinking for a moment, he decided to visit his old friend, the Medicine King Mu Qinghe, first.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
Mu House.
Inside the Mu residence, Mu Qinghe was organizing the medicinal herbs in the pharmacy. Suddenly, he heard a soft laugh. He looked up abruptly and, upon seeing the white-robed youth standing not far away, his expression turned to one of utter shock.
He blinked hard, making sure he wasn't seeing things, before asking, "Taibai?"
"Yes, it's me. Don't you recognize me, Brother Mu?" Gu Yan said with a light laugh.
Mu Qinghe immediately put down what he was holding, his heart pounding with excitement: "Taibai, it really is you! Am I dreaming? Weren't you on the Cloud Heaven Continent? How come you have time to come back?"
Mu Qinghe has a golden toad, but he hasn't used it in a long time.
A huge gap in status and strength can create a lot of pressure.
After learning that Gu Yan was the Peerless King of the Tianyang Empire on the Cloud Sky Continent, he rarely wrote to her. Later, Gu Yan went off to the starry sky and rarely even contacted her parents, let alone Mu Qinghe. Mu Qinghe didn't dare to disturb Gu Yan by writing letters casually, so he hasn't contacted her for about 14,000 years.
"I missed an old friend, so I came to visit. I hope you're not going to turn me away?" Gu Yan said with a smile.
Mu Qinghe's appearance surpassed even his memory, his aura unfathomable, even exuding a dignified and imposing presence that sent a chill down Mu Qinghe's spine. He could no longer fathom the extent of the young man's strength. The gap between them was beyond description, yet the other had still thought of him, which deeply moved him.
"How could I not welcome you? You're always welcome here," Mu Qinghe said with a hearty laugh.
"I've brought some good wine, would you like some?" Gu Yan smiled and raised his hand, and a large wine jar appeared in his hand.
Mu Qinghe immediately said, "Drink, of course we'll drink! Let's go outside and drink until we're completely drunk!"
"good!!"
After the two went out together, they went to a side room where they drank and chatted.
