Jing Zifu?
Chen Yan was surprised.
Before this, she had never associated Sui Changyun with Jing Zifu. She didn't expect that the person Sui Changyun liked was Jing Zifu.
"I heard that she is engaged, and her fiancé seems to be Yi Linghuan."
Sui Changyun said, "Your Highness, I always thought I would become your imperial consort. So when I realized I had feelings for Jing Zifu, I began to deliberately keep my distance from her to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. Moreover, she has been engaged since childhood, so at that time I thought there was no possibility between us..."
Chen Yan asked directly: "Does she like you?"
These words made Sui Changyun fall into silence. His androgynous face added a touch of melancholy and loneliness, and he pursed his lips slightly.
"I don't know."
"Chang Yun, I may not be able to help you with matters of the heart." Chen Yan said seriously. She could not give the right advice.
"Yeah, I understand." Sui Changyun nodded. He just wanted her promise.
A promise that didn't require him to be her royal husband.
Sui Changyun thought of something else, "Your Highness, I heard a conversation between several elders from Chengyun Palace. They said that the owner of Sky Island is very likely a member of the Tianzhou Dynasty."
Chen Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "Then let Uncle Zeng and the others contact the Sky Island Master first, test the waters, and then make plans."
As a newly emerged force in the Changming Realm, the Tianzhou forces are participating in the Changming event for the first time, so they have the opportunity to meet with the owner of Sky Island in advance and negotiate.
Sui Changyun nodded, looked at Chen Yan and said, "The young group competition will be held in a few days. If I face you, then..."
"No need to show mercy on purpose." Chen Yan said calmly, "Don't let others notice anything is wrong."
"good."
After the two finished chatting, Chen Yan separated from Sui Changyun.
Chen Yan did not return to No. 9 Courtyard immediately, but walked around the area to familiarize himself with the geographical environment.
As she walked, many disciples from other factions came over, wanting to make friends with her. These people were attracted by Chen Yan's beauty, temperament, and status, and wanted to take this opportunity to get to know her.
However, Chen Yan did not show much interest in their hospitality, and only responded politely to others' enthusiasm.
She walked to the corner and ran into a young man head-on. Just as the young man was about to rush towards her at an extremely fast speed, Chen Yan dodged him by turning sideways in an instant.
Unexpectedly, the boy quickly hid behind her, as if he was avoiding some scary person. At the same time, calls came from all around.
"Young Master!"
"Young Master, please come out quickly!"
Chen Yan looked up and found that many disciples of the Dongfang family were searching for someone. Judging from their anxious expressions and uneasy demeanor, the matter seemed to be very urgent.
She turned around and looked at the boy hiding behind her.
"Please, let me hide here for a while, don't let them find me!" The boy stuck close to her back, his eyes constantly observing the movements around him.
Chen Yan said expressionlessly: "You'd better find some other place to hide. I don't have time to accompany you."
After she finished speaking, she was about to take a step out of the corner, but the young man grabbed her sleeve tightly, "Don't go, I can give you a lot of money, as long as you do me this favor! Do you need spirit stones? I can give you a full 300,000 high-grade spirit stones, how about it?!"
Chen Yan paused slightly and turned to stare at him.
The young man, Dongfang Xin, trembled all over when he was stared at by her.
"Can."
Chen Yan said lightly.
Then, she pulled her sleeve out of his hand, and seeing that the Dongfang family disciples were about to search this place, she quickly raised her hand and grabbed Dongfang Xin's collar, and with a move of her body, she disappeared on the spot.
"I just saw the young master, why did he disappear? Where is he?"
"Are you dazzled?"
"We must find the young master before dark! If anything happens to the young master, we can't afford it!"
…
Chen Yan brought Dongfang Xin to a remote place where there were no members of the Dongfang family.
When Chen Yan's hand loosened his collar, Dongfang Xin fell to the ground, his face pale with fear. He looked at Chen Yan with panic in his eyes, "You, who are you?"
Chen Yan looked at his frightened expression, frowned slightly, and felt extremely puzzled.
She said, "It doesn't matter who I am. I have already taken you away from those people. You should fulfill your promise and give me 300,000 high-grade spirit stones."
Dongfang Xin finally came to his senses, took a deep breath, stood up with forced calmness, patted the dust off his body, and coughed heavily a few times.
"You should be very strong, right? If you are willing to protect me for two hours, I will give you another million high-grade spirit stones. How about that?"
Chen Yan: “…”
Did she meet the stupid son of the landlord?
However, she had no time for him.
Chen Yan raised her eyes and said, "Give me three hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones first."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Xin transferred the 300,000 high-grade spirit stones in the storage space to Chen Yan without any hesitation.
Dongfang Xin raised his eyebrows and asked, "How about it? Are you willing to protect me?"
"No."
Chen Yan left this sentence and was about to leave.
Dongfang Xin became anxious upon seeing this and rushed forward to try to grab Chen Yan.
Chen Yan cleverly avoided his hand, leaving him empty-handed.
Dongfang Xin frowned and asked in confusion, "Why are you unwilling? Is it because I gave you too few spirit stones? I can add more spirit stones!"
"You can find someone else." Chen Yan turned to look at him.
Dongfang Xin couldn't help but feel dissatisfied and disappointed when he heard this. In his life, few people would refuse his request so resolutely. Moreover, he had already asked twice, and she still refused without hesitation.
He crossed his arms, looking somewhat arrogant and conceited, and then said confidently, "Two million high-grade spirit stones."
Chen Yan raised her foot and continued walking forward.
Seeing this, Dongfang Xin gritted his teeth and chased after him, saying, "Three million!"
"Four million!"
"Five million!"
"I want to see the Sky Tree up close!"
Hearing this, Chen Yan stopped and turned to stare at him for a few seconds, "Outsiders are not allowed to approach the Sky Tree."
The Sky Tree is a giant tree growing in the center of Sky Island.
It towers into the clouds, with lush branches and leaves, as if connecting the passage between heaven and earth. It is the symbol of Sky Island and a sacred object in the hearts of the islanders.
As the sacred object of Sky Island, the Sky Tree is not allowed to be approached by outsiders.
So people can only watch from afar and feel its sacredness.
Dongfang Xindao said, "Don't you want to know the secret of the Sky Tree? It is said that in the beginning there was only one Sky Tree and no island. It was only as time passed that the Sky Tree became the Sky Island. Moreover, this Sky Tree also has time..."
