"ah?"
Sun Haiyang was surprised that Jiuyou treated its employees so well; it seemed he had misunderstood them before.
"It still doesn't work!"
In the end, however, reason prevailed over reason, and he spoke righteously to Shen Zhao.
"I also have your cousins!"
"Then what?"
Sun Haiyang adopted a defiant attitude.
"My brothers, they deserve to have fun too!"
...
In the Imperial Palace, after the court session, Yu Xiyan sat in the Imperial Study reviewing memorials.
At this moment, Gu Jingyan rushed in to report: "Your Majesty, a major event has occurred in Chang'an City."
"What is it?" Yu Xiyan asked without looking up.
“There is an organization that claims to be the Chang’an branch of the Nine Netherworlds, openly recruiting people in Chang’an City. I have already sent the Jing’an Division and the Dongwei Court to secretly contact and investigate.”
"Nine Netherworlds?"
Yu Xiyan frowned and put down the imperial brush.
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
"It's absolutely true. The West Market and the area in front of the Divine Water Pavilion are packed with people. They're all going crazy trying to join the Nine Netherworld."
"Nonsense!"
Yu Xiyan gave a deep shout.
"Such a thing could happen right under the emperor's nose? Jiuyou's actions have always been unpredictable and elusive."
"This must be a group of swindlers from who-knows-where. Notify the Imperial Guards to arrest them all immediately."
Gu Jingyan frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, arresting people now might incite discontent among the people."
Today, thousands of people flocked into the Divine Water Pavilion. I believe we should investigate thoroughly before making a decision.
Yu Xiyan picked up her pen again and reviewed several memorials before saying indifferently, "Since you have your own ideas, why bother asking me?"
Gu Jingyan was taken aback, feeling quite uncomfortable.
It seems that my cousin has completely changed since she returned from the game.
It became utterly unfamiliar, utterly cold.
"Is there anything else?"
"I will take my leave, sir."
After Gu Jingyan left the Imperial Study, Yu Xiyan immediately threw down the imperial brush in her hand and got up to pace back and forth in the Imperial Study.
Before long, Gu Ningye entered the study. Seeing her daughter like this, she couldn't help but sigh softly. She bent down to pick up the fallen imperial brush and placed it back on the desk.
"Xiyan, what's wrong with you lately? You can tell your mother if you have something on your mind."
Yu Xiyan shook her head: "I'm sorry to have worried Mother. I'm fine. It's just that I'm a little apprehensive with the wedding approaching."
Gu Ningye: "Xiyan, are you really planning to marry Ling Yuxuan? Have you thought this through? Marriage is a lifelong commitment, so you must not act impulsively."
"Mother, you are overthinking it. I have thought it through very clearly. My senior brother went to great lengths to save me from the Demon Realm and even endured excruciating pain for me. Such a man is the one for whom my heart belongs."
"Oh well, never mind."
Gu Ningye sighed heavily.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Since you have already made your decision, I will no longer interfere. I hope you will not regret it."
After saying that, Gu Ningye turned around and prepared to leave the Imperial Study.
"Mother, can you tell me where you have been for the past day and night?"
Yu Xiyan's eyes were sinister as she walked step by step toward Gu Ningye.
