Nine Lives, Nine Worlds of Tribulation

Memories are like ever-blooming stone flowers, yet only the self believes them to be eternal. Ultimately, what they bring is the ruthlessness of reincarnation; perhaps no one will wait this time.

Chapter 465 A New Path

"Hehe, so it really is a boy! You're so handsome! I bet your father and mother must have been beautiful too!" Hua Qingwu looked at Gu Liyan with envy, then took his hand, "How about we..."

"Cough cough!" Gu Yan suddenly coughed.

Gu Liyan subconsciously pulled her hand back, as if she could feel Gu Yan's sharp gaze sweeping over her.

Gu Yan walked over, looking at him with a disappointed expression, and said, "Son, how many times have I told you that men and women should not touch each other? You should know proper etiquette!"

Gu Liyan lowered his head and said in an apologetic tone, "Yes, I understand, Father."

"Father?!" Hua Qingwu looked at Gu Liyan in astonishment. "He's your father?!"

Gu Liyan hurriedly nodded, glanced at Gu Yan, whose gloomy face inexplicably showed dissatisfaction, and immediately Gu Liyan dared not speak, for fear of angering Gu Yan.

Hua Qingwu sized up Gu Yan, "He's only about 50% good-looking, not even as good-looking as that little Yin Yang! How could he have given birth to such a beautiful young master?"

"I..." Gu Yan was speechless for a moment.

Hua Qingwu glared at Gu Yan and said, "Alright, alright, let's talk about you. How did you get into my Hua residence? And what do you want here?"

The group looked at each other, but no one answered.

Seeing Gu Liyan and the others hesitate, Hua Qingwu said impatiently, "Stop hiding your true intentions! Just say it!"

"We..." Gu Yan was about to speak when Gu Liyan hurriedly interjected, "We're actually here to find someone!"

"Looking for someone?" Hua Qingwu looked at Gu Liyan with suspicion. "I know everyone in the Heavenly Palace. I don't know who you're looking for."

“This…” Gu Yan looked at Gu Liyan, hoping he could give a “satisfactory answer”.

Of course, Gu Liyan did not disappoint everyone and immediately replied, "We are going to find Tianxuan."

"Tianxuan?!" Hua Qingwu was somewhat surprised. She looked at Gu Liyan, her eyes darting around, before finally deciding, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll take you to find him!"

After saying that, she walked ahead and led the way, and Gu Liyan and the others had no choice but to follow behind her.

Gu Yan looked at Gu Liyan and transmitted her voice, "Little Li, who is this Tianxuan you mentioned?"

"He could be considered a patriarch of the Heavenly Palace, I suppose," Gu Liyan said somewhat uncertainly.

"Do you know him?" Gu Yan asked, frowning.

Gu Liyan nodded slightly. "We had some interaction in the future."

"If we can communicate with her, then we'll go. If not, we can leave immediately." Gu Yan transmitted his voice, glancing at Hua Qingwu intentionally or unintentionally. "She shouldn't be too difficult to deal with."

"No!" Gu Liyan hurriedly replied, "She is not an ordinary person, we cannot be reckless."

“She…” Gu Yan paused, somewhat surprised, and subconsciously pointed at Hua Qingwu.

Noticing the ancient language, Hua Qingwu turned to look at him and asked, "Why are you pointing at me?"

“I…” Gu Yu was speechless.

"Father meant that you look a lot like my mother, Aunt!" Gu Liyan interjected, trying to smooth things over.

"Your mother? She must be very beautiful, right?" Hearing Gu Liyan's words, Hua Qingwu was inexplicably happy.

Gu Liyan nodded. "Yes, that's right. Speaking of which, Aunt, you and my mother really do look about 70% alike."

Hua Qingwu was even happier. "Otherwise, why would you call me aunt! Nephew!"

Gu Liyan simply smiled and did not refute.

Gu Yan watched the two of them praising each other's beauty with a speechless expression. To be honest, he didn't even know what his future wife, Gu Liyan's mother, looked like!

As they were talking, Hua Qingwu had already led them to Tianxuan's residence.

Gu Liyan looked up at the three characters on the plaque above the door and thought to himself, "Just as I thought!"

"Tianxuan Pavilion?" Gu Yan murmured softly as he looked at the plaque above the door.

"Alright, Tianxuan is staying here. You can go in now." Hua Qingwu glanced at everyone's expressions, seemingly casually.

Sure enough, Gu Liyan and the others were unsure whether they should go in.

Just as Hua Qingwu was about to speak, a figure suddenly walked out of Tianxuan Pavilion.

Everyone looked at the man, dressed in a black and white casual outfit, with two black and white swords at his waist, and a silver streak mixed in with his black hair. He was—

"Yin Yang! What are you doing here?" Hua Qingwu greeted her with a smile.

Yin Yang walked out of Tianxuan Pavilion, raised his head, and his handsome face was like that of a refined young master. Yin Yang smiled and said softly, "Just a peaceful day. Auntie got up very early today."

"It's all because a few guys disturbed my sweet dreams!" Hua Qingwu said irritably, glancing at Gu Yan intentionally or unintentionally.

"Oh?" Yin Yang looked at Gu Liyan and the others—

The moment Gu Liyan heard Hua Qingwu call Yin Yang's name, he was terrified. When he saw Yin Yang's face, he was completely stunned!

The person in front of me is just a smaller version of the Yin-Yang one I know; their eyebrows and eyes are clearly the same person!

Seeing Gu Liyan staring at him with wide eyes, Yin Yang had countless questions in his mind.

Seeing Yin Yang gazing at Gu Liyan, Hua Qingwu whispered in Yin Yang's ear, "Isn't this little guy very handsome? Don't you feel your heart flutter?"

Yin Yang snapped out of her daze, smiled, and said, "Auntie, are you trying to play matchmaker again?"

Hua Qingwu, hands on her hips, said, "I'm very serious, okay! In a few years you'll be an adult, and our Celestial Clan is short of people. You should consider it!"

Yin Yang just smiled and said, "Auntie should be the one to consider it. I think that mature and steady-looking uncle in white isn't bad either!"
