Jianchen stared blankly at Huang Luan, who was standing at the entrance. Then, he glanced at You Yue from the corner of his eyes and groaned inwardly. He had never thought that Huang Luan would take the initiative to come to him, especially when there was a fiancée who had been betrothed to him by his parents.
One was a woman who had deep feelings for Jianchen and had intimate relations with him in the past. The other was his fiancée who had been the talk of the town in the Kingdom of Gesun for a long time. Now that the two of them had met, Jianchen immediately felt troubled.
Ming Dong obviously realized that Jianchen was in trouble, but he didn't intend to help. He smiled wickedly at Jianchen and said, "Brother, I still have something to take care of, so I'll take my leave first." With that, Ming Dong left without any sense of loyalty. Moreover, he would look back every few steps, constantly glancing back and forth between Jian Chen, You Yue, and Huang Luan. He seemed to be taking pleasure in their misfortune.
Jianchen looked at Huang Luan who was standing at the entrance with a wry smile and asked, "Why are you here?"
Today, Huang Luan was wearing a set of tight-fitting white clothes, which perfectly outlined her devilish figure. Just her figure alone had a fatal attraction, making people have an impulse to hug her tightly in their arms.
Huang Luan's attire was very capable and not sloppy. It was completely different from the attire of the young ladies of large families. At this moment, she looked full of the demeanor of a chivalrous woman.
When Huang Luan's cold and sharp gaze fell on Jianchen, it immediately softened and became gentle. She smiled and said, "Don't you welcome me here?" Huang Luan looked at Jianchen with a gaze that couldn't be concealed.
Jianchen smiled wryly. He looked at Huang Luan with a complicated gaze and said, "Welcome, of course you're welcome. Come in and have a seat. Let me do my part as a host."
Huang Luan smiled sweetly at Jianchen before swinging the reins in her hand and striding inside.
One of the members of the Flame Mercenaries waiting at the entrance immediately took the reins and led Huang Luan's magical beast away.
Huang Luan stopped in front of Jianchen and looked lovingly at the handsome face that she yearned for day and night. Just when she was about to say something, she suddenly discovered that there was an equally beautiful girl standing beside Jianchen. Her gaze immediately landed on You Yue and she asked in confusion, "Jianchen, who is this?"
"Hello, I'm You Yue!" You Yue took the initiative to speak. She had a slight smile on her face, but her heart was filled with jealousy. She could naturally see Huang Luan's feelings for Jianchen and understood that their relationship wasn't that simple.
"You Yue? Are you the Grand Princess of the Kingdom of Gesun? "Huang Luan looked at You Yue with some surprise.
You Yue nodded slightly and smiled, "That's right, I am the Grand Princess. May I ask who this young lady is?"
Huang Luan's gaze towards You Yue immediately changed subtly. There was some undetectable jealousy in the depths of her eyes, but she didn't show it. She smiled and said, "I'm Huang Luan. I'm from the Huang family."
"So it's Miss Huang Luan. May I ask which kingdom Miss Huang Luan is from? You Yue has heard of a few Huang families. May I know if You Yue knows any of them? "You Yue said with a gentle smile.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint the Princess. Our Huang family doesn't belong to any kingdom. We've always lived deep in the mountains. We're not one of the few small families with the same name as us in the nearby kingdoms." Huang Luan said.
Seeing that the two women had the intention to compete, Jianchen immediately had a headache. He hurriedly said, "Let's not stand outside. Let's go inside and catch up."
In a splendidly decorated living room, Jianchen, You Yue, and Huang Luan sat at a large round table and chatted. Huang Luan, who had just met Jianchen, was especially happy. She kept talking to Jianchen and curiously asked about the reason why Jianchen formed the mercenary group. Jianchen answered all of Huang Luan's questions to the best of his knowledge. He did not hide anything at all.
At this moment, Huang Luan's eyes lit up as if she had thought of something important. She looked into Jianchen's eyes and said, "I almost forgot. Jianchen, there's good news I want to tell you. I've already become the disciple of the ancestor of the Huanggu clan, and he's even passed on his cultivation method, the Scripture of the Sunflower Aqua to me. It's an extremely rare Saint Tier cultivation method."
"What? A Saint Tier cultivation method? " Jianchen was slightly surprised. Although cultivation methods were not as valuable as battle skills on the Tian Yuan Continent, Saint Tier cultivation methods were still extremely valuable and rare. Even a few hermit clans did not possess a Saint Tier cultivation method.
"The Scripture of the Sunflower Aqua is a water-attributed cultivation method, and I just happen to possess water-attributed Saint Force, so it's perfect for me. Ever since I started cultivating the Scripture of the Sunflower Aqua, my strength has skyrocketed. It's several times greater than before. I've only cultivated it for a little over two months, yet I've already gone from the First Cycle to the Second Cycle. I'm even confident that I can reach the Third Cycle in half a year. If this continues, I think I'll be able to become a Heaven Saint Master in just a few years." Huang Luan's face was filled with unconcealable excitement.
Hearing Huang Luan's words, You Yue was extremely shocked. She stared at Huang Luan, who was dressed like a chivalrous woman. She could not believe that Huang Luan, who seemed to be around the same age as her, was actually an Earth Saint Master. Moreover, she cultivated a Saint Tier cultivation method that only existed in legends.
But soon after, You Yue's face darkened. She became extremely depressed. From what Huang Luan had said, she had already understood that Huang Luan's status was even higher than hers. She was probably the young miss of an extremely large clan. Not only was Huang Luan's cultivation talent greater than hers, she had already reached the Earth Saint Master realm at the same age as her. Moreover, she had an extremely powerful master who had passed down a Saint Tier cultivation method to her. Huang Luan was superior to her in every aspect. Even though she was the princess of an empire, she was not even half as good as Huang Luan.
Noticing the change in You Yue, Jianchen became slightly worried. He no longer dared to continue chatting with Huang Luan. He ordered someone to prepare a room for Huang Luan before the three of them dispersed.
After leaving the room, You Yue's mood became extremely depressed. She returned to her room alone and locked herself in there. She sat by her bed and stared blankly at the wall.
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open. Jianchen walked in with light steps. Seeing You Yue like this, he felt rather sad.
Jianchen gently closed the door and walked to You Yue's side. He looked at her with concern. He wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say to comfort You Yue.
Jianchen sighed inwardly. He was not good with flowery words. Facing such a situation, he felt somewhat helpless.
You Yue's eyes regained some vigor. She looked at Jianchen with a somewhat miserable expression. Her eyes were gradually filled with a layer of mist. In the end, they gathered into two crystal clear teardrops. They slowly flowed down her beautiful cheeks and finally fell to the ground and shattered.
Seeing You Yue actually crying, Jianchen immediately became flustered. However, before he could speak, You Yue had already opened her mouth. "Jianchen, tell me. When you told me before that you didn't want to talk about love, was it a lie? Was the reason why you didn't want to marry me because you have another girl in your heart? Is it a girl who is more outstanding than me?"
You Yue was very sad. Her tone was somewhat sobbing. In fact, in her heart, she had already fallen deeply in love with Jianchen. She could not extricate herself. Today, You Yue suddenly appeared. She did not hide her deep feelings for Jianchen. Moreover, she was more outstanding than her in all aspects. This made You Yue feel a great threat. It was as if the person she loved deeply was about to be snatched away from her.
Jianchen intimately held You Yue's hand. He held You Yue's white and tender hand tightly in his own. He said softly, "You Yue, things are not what you think. The reason why I am not in a hurry to marry you is because I can't talk about love right now. I still have a heavy burden on my shoulders. If these things are not resolved, sooner or later, it will bring disaster to the family and you."
"I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. Who knows how many times you've repeated it." You Yue sobbed.
Jianchen looked at You Yue with a complicated expression. Ever since he had known You Yue, she had always given him the impression of a calm and steady person. However, this was the first time he had seen You Yue cry so sadly. This made him feel a little hurt.
Jianchen sighed inside. He knew that there were some things that he needed to be honest with You Yue. Otherwise, he would probably break the girl's heart.
"You Yue, although on the surface I seem to be incomparably glorious, not only am I a Heaven Saint Master, but I am also the Imperial Protector of one of the eight great nations of the continent. However, do you know that my life is not easy? This is because I have many enemies outside." Jianchen was in a daze as he slowly told the story that he had buried in his mind.
You Yue's sobs gradually stopped as she stared at Jianchen.
"I've made quite a number of enemies in the Tianyuan Continent over the past few years. Although I've destroyed most of them, there are still some powerful forces that I can't touch, including the Shi Family and the Jiede Family. These two clans are both hermit clans on the Tian Yuan Continent. They are extremely powerful, and there are Saint Rulers in their clans. I have an irreconcilable enmity with these two clans, so it will only end with one of us dead. Either I die, or they live. Moreover, I'm afraid that these two clans have been searching for me all this time. Although my current location is very far from them, I know that they will find me here sooner or later. Once they find my location, even if I'm the Imperial Protector of the Qinhuang Kingdom, it will be useless. Therefore, I only want to increase my own strength now. Otherwise, when their Saint King finds me in the future, I will die without a burial place and will even implicate everyone. "
"Other than them, there is also the Sect of Dragon and Tiger that I met in the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. This Sect of Dragon and Tiger is also an incomparably powerful sect. Their old Sect Master is also a Saint Ruler and he covets my treasures. Although my identity as the Imperial Protector of the Qin Empire can temporarily deter him and prevent him from acting against me, who knows if the Saint Ruler of the Sect of Dragon and Tiger will secretly make a move against me."
Jianchen looked at You Yue with a serious expression and said, "You Yue, now you should know how much pressure I am facing. My enemies outside are all hermits who have reached the level of Saint Rulers. I am powerless against them right now. I don't even have the ability to flee. I don't even know how long I have left. "
