Gu Chaoyan grinned.
Initially, she had been concerned that the young dragonman, who had a somewhat contentious relations.h.i.+p with the white deer, would continue causing trouble. The white deer was known for its mischievous nature, and she had feared that their pairing would lead to constant chaos. However, to her surprise, they had actually gotten along much better than she had antic.i.p.ated. How could she not be thrilled?
In this moment, Gu Chaoyan finally felt like she had truly returned to this continent, instead of feeling the lingering discomfort of Southern Mist in her heart.
“It seems like they’re getting along quite well, so I can breathe easy,” Gu Chaoyan remarked.
Di Hongyun’s expression took on a peculiar twist.
He couldn’t help but think that his junior sister was being overly optimistic.
Did she genuinely believe that these two companions were getting along well?
The reality was that they were currently exhausted and had finally found a moment of respite in sleep. If they were to wake up, it would likely be chaos all over again.
“Little Junior Sister, take care,” Di Hongyun had initially intended to say more, but he decided to remain silent instead.
There wasn’t much else to do except let his Little Junior Sister enjoy a brief period of tranquility. It could be seen as the calm before the storm.
Meanwhile…
Yan Zhengchu rushed to the scene.
He had been around for the past few days, but Gu Chaoyan had been deeply engrossed in her cultivation and had declined to meet with him. He had been growing increasingly anxious, believing that he would have to wait for an extended period to see her. However, today, someone arrived. Seeing him, Gu Chaoyan felt a wave of relief wash over her.
The Shenyou Dynasty was effectively saved.
“You’re finally out,” Yan Zhengchu exclaimed emotionally as he entered.
“Please tell me what’s happening.”
“Well, that Paragon Martial G.o.d expert doesn’t appear to be in a rush to attack the Shenyou Dynasty. However, these aristocratic families have been facing constant difficulties during this period. The Zhang Family’s members are taking turns visiting these aristocratic households. They are either creating troubles tor them or making direct demands. These n.o.ble families are enduring unbearable hards.h.i.+ps, but they are powerless against the Zhang Family.”
“As for the imperial family, they are currently in a pa.s.sive observation mode. However, I am well aware that even though the imperial family remains unaffected for now, their turn will come sooner or later. Right now, they are merely watching and trying to protect themselves. Once these aristocratic families are weakened or disappear, that person will engulf the imperial family.”
“If we don’t return soon, I fear these families won’t be able to hold on much longer.”
“The Zhang Family has become a vile force, causing the most trouble,” Yan Zhengchu explained the situation.
In his perspective…
It was acceptable for a few aristocratic families to suffer, but it was unthinkable for all of them to face troubles. Apart from the royal family, the Shenyou Dynasty relied on these n.o.ble houses for support.
Yan Zhengchu had been preparing for years to become the emperor of the Shenyou Dynasty. It would be a terrible waste if the dynasty were destroyed before he had the opportunity to take the throne.
That’s why he was determined to protect these aristocratic families.
Gu Chaoyan looked at Yan Zhengchu and remarked, “You’re more astute than the royal family.”
It wasn’t surprising that after injuring Yan Wuji, Yan Zhengchu had a.s.sessed the situation and refrained from attacking the Yan Clan. Instead, he attempted to make amends.
Such a person displayed intelligence in knowing what actions to take and what to avoid.
“Let’s go. We should head back to the Shenyou Dynasty together. Besides dealing with that Paragon Martial G.o.d expert, it’s in your best interest to secure the imperial power..”
