Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Chapter 210 Did they really elope?

Gu Yue sighed helplessly, "Fine, I won't argue with you anymore."

Gu Yue turned her head and saw Jing Shu's dazed look, and sighed deeply.

That's it, this kid is hopeless. It's obvious that Han Luo has him completely under her thumb.

"When are you going to register your marriage? That way I'll have time to prepare a gift for you... You haven't already done it, have you?!" Gu Yue asked rhetorically.

"No!" Gu Meng finally managed to interject, and quickly said, "Master and Senior Brother's joint registration hasn't been decided yet. Senior Brother said that they will hold the joint registration ceremony when Senior Brother's cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage."

"The Out-of-Body stage, it takes so long..."

Gu Yue assessed the situation in her mind for a moment, then asked Jing Shu, "What is your cultivation level now? Foundation Establishment or Golden Core?"

Jing Shu regained his senses and immediately released his cultivation.

Gu Yue's breath hitched. No, Nascent Soul stage?!

Gu Yue rubbed her face hard. "Alright, alright! We need to get this gift-giving thing on the agenda!"

"Since you're alright now, then there's nothing more for me to do." Han Luo also lost the will to continue arguing with Gu Yue.

"What do you want to do?" Gu Yue asked, puzzled.

Han Luo walked to Jing Shu's side, took Jing Shu's hand in front of everyone, slightly curled the corners of her lips, and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"It's nothing, of course, goodbye..."

In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared from the spot.

Gu Yue was somewhat confused about Han Luo's thoughts, muttering to herself, "Is this... an elopement?"

The three of them nodded in unison.

Gu Yue was even more confused, "You...they really eloped?"

Shi Chuan shook his head. "It wasn't an elopement."

"Yeah, it's not an elopement. My brother and his girlfriend just wanted some time alone together. We already knew that." Jingyou shrugged helplessly.

“They think we don’t know!” Gu Meng replied.

Gu Yue couldn't help but laugh and turned to look at Shi Chuan and Jing You.

"Shi Chuan, Jing You, what are your plans next? Do you want to come with us?"

"Of course we're going to get some experience!" Jingyou said with a grin.

This was something they had planned long ago; Jingyou couldn't stand behind Jingshu forever.

He wants to be able to stand in front of his brother and protect him in the future, so he must work even harder to cultivate now.

Gu Yue had just woken up, and Gu Meng definitely wanted to be with Gu Yue, so Jing You chose to travel with Shi Chuan.

One Nascent Soul stage cultivator and one Golden Core stage cultivator are enough to explore most secret realms.

After saying goodbye to Gu Meng and the others, Shi Chuan and Jing You also left.

Seeing that most people had left, Gu Meng offered to help Gu Yue pack her things. Just as Gu Yue was about to follow her inside, Bei Yan'an had already walked up to Gu Yue's side and gently took her hand.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yue noticed that Bei Yan'an was in a bad mood.

“Sister…” Bei Yan’an hesitated for a moment, “Am I really that bad?”

After hearing this, Gu Yue paused for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Yan An! How could you actually compare yourself to Jing Shu! Oh my~ Hahahaha! No way, how can you be so cute!"

Seeing Gu Yue laughing so happily, Bei Yan'an blushed and wanted to cover Gu Yue's mouth with his hand.

Unfortunately, before his hand could even touch Gu Yue, Gu Yue cupped his face in her hands instead.

"Jing Shu is naturally a thousand times better in Han Luo's eyes, but you are the best in my eyes too."

After saying that, Gu Yue stood on tiptoe and forcefully sealed Bei Yan'an's lips with hers.

"Cough cough!" Gu Meng leaned against the door and coughed heavily twice, which was inappropriate for the occasion.

"Mother, everything has been put into the storage bag."

Bei Yan'an's face turned completely red, but Gu Yue didn't react much. After letting go of Bei Yan'an, she took Gu Meng's hand and gave Gu Meng a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you, Meng'er! Where we go next is up to Meng'er, okay?"

Gu Meng thoroughly enjoyed being close to her mother, Xiangxiang. Looking at the spirit ship left behind by her master and the others, Gu Meng had already made up her mind.

"Then let's go there!"

……

On a hilltop not far away, Han Luo tugged at Jing Shu's face.

"Snap out of it. I promised you, and now I'm going to fulfill it. Aren't you happy?"

"So happy..." Jing Shu reached out and grasped Han Luo's hand, his eyes filled with unwavering affection. "I'm overjoyed!"

Han Luo was satisfied with the answer and rewarded Jing Shu with a kiss on the lips before pulling him away into the distance.

"You must not slack off in your cultivation, understand?"

"I know, Master."

"Should I also change my appearance? Otherwise, it would be a real problem if someone recognized me."

"Whether Master changes it or not is fine, I'll help Master deal with it."

"How about we change it to 'Jing Ran's' appearance?"

"Master, it's possible."

"Should I still call you Master?"

“Aran…”

"Yes, that's right!"

"Master! I've shrunk! Can I hide inside your clothes to travel?"

"Little Jingshu, move aside! I also want to stay inside Master's clothes!"

"You two, get back here!"

"No!"

"No!"

"Hahahaha, it's alright, let them stay there. When we get to the next place, let them choose the women's clothes they want to wear themselves."

"Master/Aran! No!"

.......

Seven days later, at the palace.

Bei Yuze sat in the imperial study, meticulously processing the memorials submitted by the court officials.

Whether in his handling of memorials or in the atmosphere around him, Bei Yuze has gradually become a qualified emperor, completely losing the vigor that a fifteen-year-old boy should have.

Looking at Bei Yuze like this, Eunuch Li felt only heartache.

The emperor was someone he had watched grow up. When the regent was still alive, the emperor still had some vitality. Now that the regent was nowhere to be found, the emperor didn't go looking for him. Instead, he seemed to have grown up overnight and was smiling less and less.

"Your Majesty, why don't you rest for a while? There are always so many memorials to read. How about I accompany you for a walk in the Imperial Garden?" Eunuch Li finally couldn't help but offer his advice.

Bei Yuze rubbed his throbbing temples. "No need, I don't want to go."

"You may all leave. I do not need any servants here."

Bei Yuze was, after all, a cultivator, and his body wasn't as fragile as Li Fu had imagined.

Li Fu hesitated for a moment, then simply bowed and withdrew, closing the door to the imperial study behind him.

A short while later, the door to the Imperial Study was opened again.

Bei Yuze frowned slightly. "Didn't I say everyone should leave?"

"Cousin, you're so powerful! You're even kicking your little sister out?" Gu Meng's slightly teasing voice came from behind.

"pat-"

The calligraphy brush in his hand fell onto the table.

Ignoring the ink-stained memorial, Bei Yuze stood up in surprise, "Little sister?!"

Gu Meng grinned and shook her index finger, "It's not just me~"

"Bei Yan'an! You actually let such a young child review memorials here!"

"Sister, no, let me explain!"

"What are you listening to! Go and review the memorials!"

“Ah, ah? Okay…”

Bei Yuze stared blankly at the woman who had pulled him out of the imperial study.

"It's so boring staying in the room, come on! I'll take you and Meng'er out to play!" Gu Yue said with a bright smile in her eyes.

“Mother, you’re mistaken! He’s my cousin!” Gu Meng corrected.

Bei Yuze suddenly laughed, as if he had never changed.

"Yes, Mother!"
