After speaking, Gu Jian activated his spiritual power.

A moment later, the intense spiritual energy dried the clothes on his body.

Lin Shiyu was surprised and said, "Mr. Zimei, not only is your writing outstanding, but you are also a cultivator."

Gu Jian smiled slightly and said, "As a scholar, it is very necessary to learn some martial arts for self-defense."

"Um."

Lin Shiyu nodded with a light laugh, gazing at Gu Jian's handsome face and extraordinary demeanor with a touch of infatuation.

After a moment, Lin Shiyu asked again, "Where is Mr. Zimei from? With such great talent, how come I've never heard of him before?"

Gu Jian thought to himself, "Is she trying to find out my background?"

He smiled slightly and made up a story, saying, "I am a recluse from Nanyang, and I have been studying Confucianism and Taoism with my grandfather since I was a child."

"Over the years, I have achieved some success. So I came down the mountain specifically to gain more experience."

"oh?"

Lin Shiyu was immediately surprised and said, "Sir, you are very talented. Your grandfather must have been extraordinary."

Gu Jian smiled and said, "Your Majesty flatters me. My grandfather is indeed a man of great literary talent, but he has always been low-key and has been living in seclusion for decades."

"Um."

Lin Shiyu nodded slightly, becoming even more curious about Gu Jian.

She continued chatting with Gu Jian while drinking.

A moment later, her alluring face flushed red and she was slightly tipsy.

She glanced at Gu Jian with her alluring eyes, a hint of shyness in her eyes, and then said softly, "Mr. Zimei, there is something I've always been too embarrassed to ask."

Gu Jian was surprised and said, "Queen Shiyu, please speak freely."

Lin Shiyu nodded gently, looking at Gu Jian. A blush rose on her stunningly beautiful face, and her heart suddenly started racing. But she still spoke, asking, "Mr. Zimei, are you married?"
