Hua Qingwu stomped her feet in anger, but she could only run to find Yin Yang. However, she hadn't run far when she saw Gu Liyan walk in.
Hua Qingwu excitedly greeted him, "Young Master, you're back! What did you talk about with that Yin Yang kid?"
Gu Liyan politely said, "Greetings, senior. Yin Yang and I just exchanged a few words of insights. He has gained some understanding and is currently in seclusion to cultivate."
"Secluded cultivation?!" Hua Qingwu blinked, her face immediately lighting up with joy. "Great! With Yin Yang gone, I can take his place!"
Gu Liyan looked at Hua Qingwu with suspicion, wondering what she meant by "substitute".
"Come with me!" Hua Qingwu said, pulling Gu Liyan into the Tianxuan Pavilion.
Hua Qingwu hadn't gone far when she ran in with Gu Liyan. When Tianxuan saw Gu Liyan, he looked him over warily and asked in confusion, "Who is this person?"
Gu Yan spoke first, "This is my son, Xiao Li."
"Oh!" Tianxuan seemed relieved upon hearing this, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, he exclaimed loudly, "So you're already engaged!"
Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, glanced at Gu Liyan, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "Yes."
Hua Qingwu glanced at Gu Yan intentionally or unintentionally without saying anything, but the smile on her face gradually faded.
Tianxuan said to Hua Qingwu, "Didn't I tell you to tell Yin Yang? Why did you run back?"
Hua Qingwu pouted and said irritably, "Yin Yang is in seclusion, he doesn't have time!"
"What kind of attitude is this?!" Tianxuan was about to explode in anger when Gu Yan hurriedly interjected, "Don't worry, Miss Qingwu can lead the way!"
Tianxuan thought to himself: It's not that I don't trust you, but that I don't trust Hua Qingwu, that girl who likes to cause trouble!
Hua Qingwu said irritably, "If you won't let me go, I'd rather stay here in peace and quiet!" After saying that, she prepared to head back home.
"Stop!" Tianxuan said irritably.
"What?" Hua Qingwu pouted and turned around.
"Go and lead the way for them, and remember that you can't go to those two forbidden areas..." Tianxuan instructed solemnly.
"Ugh, I know, stop nagging!" Hua Qingwu said impatiently, then called to Gu Liyan and the others, "Alright, you guys come with me!"
Watching Hua Qingwu happily tiptoe away, Tianxuan frowned, then immediately realized, "Oh dear, I fell for that girl's trick again! Really..."
However, considering that Gu Yan was already married and had grown children, he felt relieved and thought, "Fine, I'll let her be willful this time!"
—Just left Tianxuan Pavilion
Hua Qingwu could no longer hide her joy and exhilaration. She spun around excitedly and exclaimed, "This is fantastic! I can finally go out and play! I don't have to stay in the Hua residence every day anymore!"
Gu Yan smiled slightly as he looked at Hua Qingwu. In his eyes, Hua Qingwu was like a red dragonfly that had landed on the tip of his heart...
Seeing the smile on Gu Yan's face and the direction he was looking, Gu Liyan leaned closer and whispered, "Father, do you think... she will become my mother?"
Gu Yan blurted out without thinking, "If I could become your mother, that would be wonderful!"
Gu Liyan smiled slyly and said, "Then go ahead and pursue her!"
Gu Yan nodded without hesitation, but then realized something was amiss. He looked up at Gu Liyan and saw that behind Gu Liyan, Gu Li and Mo Chen were both eavesdropping on their conversation. Gu Yan's face flushed red, and he glared at them angrily, "Can you guys not be so blatant about eavesdropping? Don't you know I get shy too...?"
The three of them burst into laughter.
Hearing their laughter, Hua Qingwu turned her head in confusion. "What are you talking about that's making you so happy? Can you tell me?"
The four of them, including Gu Yan, all turned their heads away. Gu Li pointed to a tree not far away and said, "Wow, the environment here is really nice."
"Hmm, look how green this grass is!" Mo Chen nodded blankly.
With his eyes closed, Gu Liyan said with utterly insincere emotion, "The air is so fresh!"
Hua Qingwu looked at them blankly and said, "The air quality in the Heavenly Palace is the same as in your mortal realm. Aren't the trees and grass green too? Is there any difference?"
"Hehe, girl, you don't understand. As the saying goes, even the best scenery and beautiful mountains can't compare to a good person! Isn't that right, Gu Yan!" Gu Li winked intentionally or unintentionally.
"Ahem, we should hurry up and find Mo Bai and the others." Gu Yan quickly changed the subject.
"Hahaha!" The three of them burst into laughter again.
"What are they laughing at?" Hua Qingwu came to Gu Yan's side and asked close to his ear.
"This..." Gu Yan blushed even more when he smelled the fragrance on Hua Qingwu's body, and the three people next to him laughed even louder.
Hua Qingwu was completely confused, so she moved closer to Gu Yan and whispered, "Tell me secretly, and I won't tell anyone!"
Gu Yan stammered, "He...they thought I...I like you!"
Hua Qingwu was taken aback. She looked up at Gu Yan, whose handsome face was now completely red. Hua Qingwu burst out laughing. "You like me? They really dare to think that way!"
Gu Yan scratched his head awkwardly and subconsciously asked, "No, is it not allowed?"
Hua Qingwu was stunned and looked at him with some surprise. Compared to Gu Liyan's gentle beauty, Gu Yan's face, which was so close to hers, seemed more heroic and gave people a sense of security.
For some reason, Hua Qingwu blushed. Feeling her face burning, she quickly turned her head and said, "I... I'll take you to see other places."
