Chapter 8: Have all the rivals been turned gay?
Wang Qi hadn't gone far when he ran into Yang Zhen, who asked, "Old Wang, is Yan'er in her room?"
"Junior Nephew Yang, give up on Yan'er. She and Young Master Gu are a match made in heaven. Stay away from her and avoid hanging around her. She's already fed up with you," Wang Qi said bluntly.
Yang Zhen's eyes widened, but before he could speak, Wang Qi said sternly, "By the way, be more respectful to Young Master Gu in the future. He's not someone you can afford to mess with. This is for your own good."
After saying that, Wang Qi brushed past Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen was stunned for a long while. What was wrong with Elder Wang? Why did he suddenly seem like a different person? Could it be that bastard Gu Yan did something to him? Did that bastard Gu Yan even bewitch Elder Wang?
hateful!
Furious, Yang Zhen stopped looking for Song Yan and strode away to find Gu Yan.
-----
In the medicinal herb field, the young man in white was picking the brightly blooming Golden Jade Wave Flowers. He quickly picked a handful and held them in his hand.
Yang Zhen stormed in from a side path and, upon seeing Gu Yan's back, angrily shouted, "Gu Yan, you...!"
Before he could finish cursing, the boy in white suddenly turned around.
The emerald green medicinal herb field is dotted with vibrant, dew-kissed wildflowers in full bloom.
A young man in white stood amidst red flowers and green leaves, holding a cluster of bougainvillea in his hands. His young and handsome face was as pure as snow and as beautiful as the morning glow.
A gentle breeze stirred his white robes, making them flutter like clouds and mist, and his black hair danced in the wind. Golden sunlight shone upon him, as if he were enveloped in a golden halo, making him seem otherworldly.
Yang Zhen was stunned, his mind went completely blank, and he couldn't say a word.
"Good morning, Brother Yang. Is there anything I can help you with?" Gu Yan asked with a smile.
Looking at his smiling face, Yang Zhen's mind went even more blank. He stood there like a young man experiencing his first love, standing in front of the girl he liked, his cheeks burning, unable to say anything, so embarrassed and helpless that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Gu Yan: "...Brother Yang??"
Coming to his senses, Yang Zhen's face flushed red. He suddenly screamed and fled as if running away. Yang Zhen ran out of the Gu residence and into a grove of trees, banging his head against a tree until his forehead was covered in blood.
What on earth was he doing just now?
Sorcery! That guy must have practiced some kind of weird and evil sorcery!
Shameless, shameless bastard!!
How dare you try to deceive yourself? You're fucking shameless!
He absolutely, positively wants to kill that pretty boy!
Yang Zhen's head smashed into a tree, snapping it in two; the tree fell down with a crack.

After Yang Zhen left, Gu Yan ran into Su Ningxue.
"Good morning, Brother Yan! These flowers are so beautiful! Are they for me?"
A girl in an ice-blue gauze dress stood by the herb field, watching the boy emerge from it. Her eyes shone like stars as she gazed at the beautiful bouquet of flowers in his hand.
Gu Yan smiled and said, "This is for making medicine."
"Is this medicine?"
"It can be used in medicine."
Gu Yan and Su Ningxue were talking when Song Yan arrived.
"Brother Gu Yan!"
Song Yan ran over, and when she reached Su Ningxue, she met her gaze. She snorted coldly, and Su Ningxue snorted coldly back. The two of them didn't exchange a single word, but the air was thick with tension.
Gu Yan felt a headache just looking at the two of them.
"Wow, what kind of flower is this? It's so beautiful!" Song Yan said with a smile, looking at the flower in Gu Yan's hand. "Is this for me?"
"No, it's for making medicine," Gu Yan said.
"Old Wang told me that Brother Gu Yan cured his hidden danger. Brother Gu Yan, are you really an alchemist?" Song Yan looked at Gu Yan with admiration.
Gu Yan smiled and said, "I don't know."
"You just found out? You don't know Brother Yan at all, yet you dare to call yourself his fiancée. Oh, no, you and Brother Yan have already broken off your engagement," Su Ningxue said with a teasing laugh.
Su Ningxue acted as if she knew Gu Yan very well, but in reality, she didn't know much about Gu Yan's background. She only knew that Gu Yan liked alchemy. She had no idea about his alchemy skills.
"you……"
Song Yan was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, but Gu Yan immediately stood between the two of them.
"What do you mean, break off the engagement? I didn't agree, and I will never break off the engagement with Brother Gu Yan," Song Yan said angrily.
"Shameless! Refusing to break off the engagement, shameless!" Su Ningxue mocked.
Just as their conflict was about to escalate, a servant ran over, shouting, "Young master, young master, something terrible has happened! Someone said you've already broken off the engagement! This morning, as soon as we opened the door, a group of people, leading a matchmaker, rushed in to demand a marriage, surrounding the master and mistress! You'd better go and see!"
Gu Yan: "..."
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.

The Gu family's hall was packed with people.
"Brother Gu, you've watched our Qiao'er grow up. She's completely devoted to your Ayan. She said she won't marry anyone but him. She's my only daughter. If Ayan marries our Qiao'er, all my assets will go to him in the future."
A short, stout man in fine clothes tugged at Gu Yunhong's sleeve and said.
"Old Xu, you should just give up. What's your little bit of wealth compared to his? My dear in-law, come and see Hong'er's dowry list. It's twenty times more than his."
A middle-aged man with a long face pushed aside the short, stout man in fine clothes with a thick folded book, wanting Gu Yunhong to look at the dowry list in his hand.
"Ma Rulong, you shameless bastard, you're even calling us in-laws now. Is your dowry as much as mine?" A tall, thin middle-aged man came over carrying large boxes, each containing a list of dowry items.
Gu Yunhong was surrounded by people, and Han Xinyue was also surrounded by matchmakers and a group of ladies.
"Madam Gu, haven't you always liked our Xiaoyu very much? Ever since she met your Ayan, she's been lovesick. If she can't marry Ayan, I'm afraid she won't last much longer. Parents all over the world have their own hearts, please just agree!" A round-faced lady wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and said sadly.
The woman spoke with sorrow, but was rebuked by a matchmaker hired by another family:
"Go away, go find a doctor. Does someone as extraordinary as Young Master Gu need to bring good fortune to your daughter? Look at our Master Sheng's daughter, Madam Gu. She's only sixteen and already at the late stage of the Lesser Spirit Realm. Her looks and temperament are top-notch; her future is limitless!"
"We told our master that as long as Young Master Gu is willing to marry into the family..."
The moment the matchmaker mentioned "marrying into the family," it was immediately rejected by others.
"Bah! Marry into the family? Madam Gu only has one son, and you still want to marry into the family? Keep dreaming!"
"Madam, our master and mistress do not need Mr. Gu to marry into their family. As long as our young lady can marry Mr. Gu, she will not mind if Mr. Gu has three wives and four concubines in the future."
The suitors kept coming up with their own ideas, leaving Gu Yunhong and Han Xinyue feeling completely overwhelmed.
At this moment, Gu Yan arrived with Su Ningxue and Song Yan. They were all dumbfounded by the terrifying and lively scene.
