Chapter 9: The Bride Who Ran Away from Her Wedding
Song Yan then realized just how many people were after her fiancé, and how many were hoping she would break off the engagement.
Although Su Ningxue had always known that Gu Yan was liked by many people, she hadn't expected to have so many competitors!
Someone shouted, "Young Master Gu is here!" and everyone's eyes immediately turned to Gu Yan. Then, they rushed towards Gu Yan with great joy.
"Young Master Gu!!"
The sight of this ferocious beast startled Gu Yan, who immediately turned and fled.
"Brother Gu Yan!"
"Brother Yan!"
Song Yan and Su Ningxue also fled with him.

In the backyard garden, Gu Yan, Song Yan, and Su Ningxue hid in a secluded corner.
Just as they arrived, a pretty young girl climbed over the wall and came in.
The pretty young girl wore an apricot-red gauze dress, her hair was styled in two buns, adorned with butterfly beads, and she had delicate eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips, and white teeth.
After climbing over the wall, she completely ignored Song Yan and Su Ningxue, and excitedly called out to Gu Yan, "Brother Yan!"
"Linglong?" Gu Yan looked at her; this was the daughter of the city lord of Qingyun City.
"Brother Yan, I heard you broke off your engagement, so I came to find you right away. My father is preparing my dowry, and he'll be here soon. Brother Yan, we can finally be together!"
The girl named Linglong excitedly tried to pounce on Gu Yan, but Song Yan and Su Ningxue immediately stepped in front of her without saying a word.
"Get away from me!"
"Don't touch Brother Yan!"
The three women glared at each other, seemingly about to fight, when another person scaled the wall. This was another beautiful young woman, dressed in purple, with delicate features. She also showed excitement upon seeing Gu Yan.
"Ayan, I've finally found you! I heard you called off your engagement, that's wonderful, that's wonderful!"
The woman in purple had barely arrived when she saw a woman in yellow leap down from the eaves and head straight for Gu Yan:
"Gu Lang!"
Then one after another, young girls poured out from all directions and rushed towards Gu Yan, making the place very lively!
"What do you want to do?"
"Stay away from Gu Yan!"
"Who are you? Get out of my way!"
"I'm Gu Yan's fiancée!"
"What fiancée? Didn't you break off the engagement?"
"You bitch, get out of here!"
A group of girls frantically crowded around Gu Yan, making the situation even more terrifying than before. Gu Yan was so frightened that she ran away and instantly disappeared from the spot.
"Huh? Where's Brother Gu Yan?"
"Where's Ayan?"
"Where did you go?"
As soon as he disappeared, the young girls scattered to look for him.

In a forest outside Qingyun City, a young man dressed in white suddenly appeared in front of a large tree. He was none other than Gu Yan, who had fled to the outskirts of the city.
"OMG!"
Gu Yan wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
Women are terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!
Gu Yan sat down on the rock, and after a while, Su Ningxue came looking for her.
"Brother Yan!"
Su Ningxue descended from the sky and landed next to Gu Yan, asking, "Brother Yan, are you alright?" A cute little two-tailed fox was perched on her shoulder; it was her spirit pet, and it was this spirit fox that had followed Gu Yan's scent and helped Su Ningxue find this place.
Gu Yan forced a smile: "I'm alright."
Su Ningxue wasn't too surprised that Gu Yan had come, but she hadn't expected Song Yan to do the same. Song Yan descended from the sky on a griffin and landed there.
"Brother Gu Yan—"
"Brother Gu Yan, are you alright? Did you get scared just now? Those guys were awful, they all tried to touch you inappropriately," Song Yan said angrily.
Gu Yan looked at her and thought to herself: Didn't you also try to touch me inappropriately?
Just then, Gu Yan sensed an aura rapidly approaching. He looked towards the horizon and saw a long red rainbow hurtling towards him. The rainbow flew overhead, and a woman in a red wedding dress appeared in his field of vision.
The woman in the red wedding dress wore a golden hair crown with jeweled tassels, and her forehead was decorated with a floral design. Her features were cold and noble, and in terms of beauty, she surpassed Song Yan and Su Ningxue by three points. It would not be an exaggeration to call her an absolute beauty.
Her red wedding dress was extremely gorgeous, embroidered with phoenix totems and adorned with many precious gold, jade, gemstones, pearls and emeralds.
The wind blew her red wedding dress, and her long shawl fluttered in the air. She landed in front of Gu Yan like a fairy princess. When she looked at Gu Yan, the coldness on her face turned into tender affection.
"Ah Yan, it's been a long time!" the woman said softly. She became shy and bashful as soon as she met Gu Yan's gaze. Coupled with her bridal attire today, she was truly charming and beautiful.
Is this guy here to steal Gu Yan's brother Yan too?
Song Yan and Su Ningxue were shocked. This woman was not only more beautiful than them, but her cultivation was also far superior to theirs. The aura emanating from her was extremely strong, just like the Heavenly Spirit Realm experts in their family.
The Spirit Realm is equivalent to Qi Refining Levels 1 to 6, the Lesser Spirit Realm is equivalent to Qi Refining Levels 7 to 13, the Greater Spirit Realm is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage, the Earth Spirit Realm is equivalent to the Core Formation stage, and the Heavenly Spirit Realm is equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage.
Who is she?
"Sister Yujing, what's wrong...?"
Gu Yan looked at Chen Yujing's wedding dress, and Chen Yujing smiled and said, "I heard you broke off the engagement, so I ran away to find you."
What?
Run away from the wedding!!
Gu Yan's lips twitched slightly, while Su Ningxue and Song Yan stared at Chen Yujing in shock.
Yu Jing?
Wait a minute, could she be Chen Yujing, the so-called number one beauty of the Ruohe Empire? Chen Yujing is the apple of the eye of the Zhennan King of the Ruohe Empire. Not only does she possess stunning beauty, but she is also a peerless genius who has cultivated to the Heavenly Spirit Realm in less than a hundred years.
She's actually my rival in love?!
Su Ningxue and Song Yan both stared wide-eyed.
Suddenly, Chen Yujing's shy expression changed, her gaze turning cold as she looked into the distance. Then, sensing who was chasing after her, she immediately showed panic:
"Oh no, it's him! He's come after us personally! Ah Yan, come with me right now!"
Chen Yujing grabbed Gu Yan's hand, wanting him to run away with her. But Gu Yan wasn't about to be so easily fooled. He pulled his hand away and asked, "Who? Who's chasing us?"
Just then, a terrifying spiritual pressure swept across the sky and earth like a tsunami, causing the entire space to shake violently. Gu Yan, Chen Yujing, Song Yan, and Su Ningxue all felt their hearts pound under this spiritual pressure.
Gu Yan frowned, thinking to herself: This pressure! Late stage of Void Refinement?
This spiritual pressure is equivalent to the late stage of the Void Refinement realm, which would place him here as a Spirit Emperor. The person pursuing Chen Yujing is actually a Spirit Emperor?
The sky suddenly changed color, and a figure appeared high in the sky. It was a man dressed in a red wedding robe. The man looked to be no older than twenty-eight, but of course, his actual age was definitely more than that.
The man was tall with deep eyes like pools and eyebrows like distant mountains. His handsome appearance had an eerie quality to it, especially his white hair and deep purple eyes, which made him look like a legendary demon in human form, exuding a bewitching and sinister aura.
