Chapter 2307: Return 1

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Observing the Emperor’s attitude, Gu Chaoyan deduced that he would ensure Lady You’s safety for several years, protecting her from any potential harm by the Shen Family.

A few years down the road.

As long as Lady You cultivated diligently using the pills she had concocted, no one in Nanlan would dare to threaten her.

This brought a sense of relief to Gu Chaoyan.

“I genuinely appreciate your kindness on behalf of my mother,” Gu Chaoyan expressed her gratitude sincerely.

“You’ve made a significant contribution, so it’s only fitting for me to extend this protection. You may depart. Leave the rest to me,” Emperor Southern Mist stated plainly.

Gu Chaoyan bowed and departed.

Watching her leave, Emperor Southern Mist smiled thoughtfully.

Initially, he had felt a sense of regret. It was unfortunate that Shen Lianxue was a woman, as it complicated matters. However, her victorious return had changed his perspective. Observing the people of Southern Mist, he couldn’t help but feel relieved that both Shen Lianxue and her mother were women. This situation made it necessary for the royal family to protect them.

This situation suited him well.

As for Chengqi…

Chengqi had lost one warrior-cultivated general, with the other two now in his custody. All that remained was a single general with warrior-level cultivation on Chengqi’s side. Currently, Southern Mist and Chengqi stood on equal footing.

However, with enough patience, Chengqi would eventually meet his demise at Emperor Southern Mist’s hands.

Lady You could consistently refine pills on a set schedule. With the availability of pills, there was no need to worry about Southern Mist’s lack of growth or the absence of capable generals.

The thought of this dispelled most of the gloominess from Emperor Southern Mist’s face, replacing it with a smile. He turned to the imperial eunuch beside him and demanded, “What are you still doing here? Didn’t you hear what I said earlier? Hurry and make the necessary arrangements.”

The imperial eunuch was momentarily stunned but quickly comprehended. He nodded and bowed, responding, “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll handle it promptly and efficiently.”

Emperor Southern Mist nodded in approval.

Gu Chaoyan exited the court and made her way to the Shen family’s clan.

In the Shen clan, representatives from various branches, both major and minor, had assembled to welcome Shen Lianxue. Most of them were eager to establish a presence in front of Shen Lianxue, anticipating the remarkable future benefits that might come their way.

Gu Chaoyan courteously greeted them before seeking out Lady You.

Lady You was in the midst of organizing her belongings.

Upon seeing her return, Lady You inquired gently, “How did it go?”

“The King has agreed,” Gu Chaoyan responded. However, as she spoke, she cast a worried glance at Lady You. Eventually, she withdrew her gaze and continued, “Mother, there’s something I need to inform you about. Master has summoned me for an important matter, and I’m afraid I won’t be back for a few days. Once you’ve left the Shen Family, focus on pill-making and cultivation. If anything arises…”

“Use this to contact me if needed.” Gu Chaoyan hesitated but ultimately extended a fragment of her divine consciousness to Lady You.

“Alright.” Although Lady You couldn’t hide her reluctance, she refrained from asking her to stay.

She understood all too well..
