"...Nana, you misunderstood. Ling Xiao and I are not here for a honeymoon. We are here to complete a mission."
Gu Qingze originally wanted to call Shangguan Nana "Princess", but when he thought about how she didn't like him calling her that, he swallowed the words back.
"Complete the mission? Qianyao Nation didn't issue the mission to Qingyun City? I remember that my father only sent a message for help to Qingyun Sect two months ago."
Shangguan Nana was a little confused for a moment.
"We are here to complete that mission."
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao handed the jade tokens on their waists to Shangguan Nana for inspection. After repeated verification, Shangguan Nana confirmed that they were the people sent by Qingyun Sect to assist.
After returning the jade token to them, Shangguan Nana's expression became even more complicated.
"You guys have entered Qingyun Sect? I didn't expect that after not seeing you for six years, you've become so powerful."
Gu Qingze originally wanted to comfort her, but he stopped in the end. Comforting from a bystander's perspective is always useless.
He and Ling Xiao are both cultivators and have a long life ahead of them, but Shangguan Nana is just an ordinary person. For them, six years is just a blink of an eye, but for Shangguan Nana, it is not the case. Six years have occupied most of her life.
Therefore, it can better reflect the deep affection of Shangguan Nana in the original novel. In order to wait for the male protagonist, she ignored all objections and waited for twelve years, but in the end she only waited for a disappointing ending. Although she found the person who loved her later, the male protagonist had already consumed most of her life.
"Well, since you're here to complete the mission, why don't you follow me to a quiet place and I'll tell you what I know."
After a while, Shangguan Nana seemed to come out of her emotions and brought the conversation back to the main topic.
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao looked at each other and nodded.
In the teahouse private room——
Looking at the steaming tea on the table, Shangguan Nana took a sip first, then looked at the two people sitting opposite her.
"If I'm not mistaken, the only information you've received is that a mysterious spirit beast is causing chaos and disrupting people's lives."
Shangguan Nana put down the teacup in her hand and continued.
"Actually, there's more to the story. It's just that my father deliberately concealed a part of it when he issued the mission to Qingyun Sect. He plans to explain it in detail once the reinforcements arrive."
"Is there something else going on?" Chu Lingxiao couldn't help but frown upon hearing this. What if the Qianyao Kingdom royal family concealed information when announcing the mission, causing the Qingyun Sect to misjudge the mission's difficulty...
As if she could see what Chu Lingxiao was thinking, Shangguan Nana smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, it's just some unimportant information. The mission won't become more difficult."
Hearing this, Chu Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief, while Gu Qingze calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"So, Nana, can you explain it to us now? If you keep hiding it, it will be bad if something goes wrong."
"Of course, since I just said that, that's what I meant to tell you."
Shangguan Nana recalled for a moment and spoke slowly.
"The scroll says there's a mysterious spirit beast causing trouble. But it's not actually a mysterious spirit beast. We all know who it is. At least the royal family members know who it is, but... they can't tell it."
"It cannot be said? Why can't it be said?"
"Maybe it's because... I feel indebted to it."
