Chapter 127

Facing Du Gu Yan's enthusiasm, Ye Lingling, although inside she didn't know how to face it, I also didn't dare to just blurt out that delirious emotion, lest Du Gu Yan notice something.

Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan, Ning Rongrong and they chatted for a while, saying they had come to the academy to see them; after an hour, they took Du Gu Yan alone to her dormitory there.

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect's academy, the genius class also enjoyed many special privileges, one of which was the standalone villa; Du Gu Yan lived alone in a three-story small villa.

Ning Rongrong did not live alone; she shared a room with Li Li, while Zuo Yan, Yang Pojun, Ma Bao, and Zhan Yu four people lived together in another villa.

Pulling Du Gu Yan back to her little nest, Du Gu Yan couldn't hold back and directly pounced on Gu Xuan; after months apart, this close older sister's longing for Gu Xuan peaked; if it weren't for Gu Xuan being only thirteen, she would have definitely pushed him over right now.

Looking at Du Gu Yan's eyes brimming with deep tenderness, Gu Xuan himself almost couldn't hold back and draw his sword to stab, but fortunately reason overcame desire in the end.

Du Gu Yan's room was empty; at this moment she was leaning in Gu Xuan's embrace, playing with the two clusters of his forehead hair that resembled dragon whiskers, bright red.

"Little Xuan, are you really not transferring over?" Du Gu Yan murmured.

Gu Xuan helplessly shook his head and replied: "Not now; the sect already has close ties with the Tian Dou Empire, and if I also left, it would make things difficult for Uncle."

Hearing this, Du Gu Yan sighed helplessly, then said: "I heard Lingling and her family have joined the sect?"

Gu Xuan nodded; it wasn't surprising that Du Gu Yan knew this information, for although the Nine Heart Begonia Family had moved secretly, Ning Rongrong and she occasionally visited the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, so naturally she could obtain the information from Ning Fengzhi.

Seeing Gu Xuan affirm again, Du Gu Yan joyfully said: "That's wonderful; from now on we can always be together with Lingling as good friends. Let me tell you, this little Lingling is so lovable; when I'm not at the academy, you must not bully her."

As Du Gu Yan spoke, she still felt some heartache for Ye Lingling in her heart; as a close friend, her own childhood experiences were similar to Ye Lingling's—both lost close relatives in early childhood—so a natural resonance arose between them, allowing them to become close friends.

However, after hearing this, Gu Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he began to whisper sweet nothings to Du Gu Yan, while also explaining Ye Lingling's martial soul curse in full.

After a while, Du Gu Yan's heart fluttered from being coaxed by Gu Xuan, her little mouth being pecked until it became slightly red and swollen.

Seeing Du Gu Yan's state was fine, Gu Xuan then slowly said: "Yanzi, I want to discuss something with you."

Du Gu Yan leaned in Gu Xuan's embrace, playing with his hair, and nodded happily: "Go ahead."

"Didn't I also tell you about Lingling's matter? Now her martial soul curse has been lifted; in the future, after she branches out and multiplies, she will surely rise swiftly. Therefore, to avoid affecting the future status of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect in the support division, Grandfather and Uncle have both urged me to unite with Lingling, so as to guarantee the sect's position…" Gu Xuan slowly spoke.

Du Gu Yan leaned against Gu Xuan's chest, listening seriously; the first half was fine, she could understand it clearly, but what did the latter mean? Unite with Lingling?

Du Gu Yan wasn't foolish; how could she not understand the implication? After Gu Xuan and Ye Lingling unite and have a child, that child would belong to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, so in the future, no matter what, the Nine Heart Begonia would be completely bound to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.

But! But damn, what about me? I already have my marriage settled with Gu Xuan, and my older sister-in-law hasn't even used my man yet—how can this be?

What Gu Xuan doesn't know is that Du Gu Yan is a very broad-minded girl—not that she wants to share him with others—and she knows that someone as outstanding as Gu Xuan will certainly never lack beautiful women around him.

Moreover, due to his status, Gu Xuan also has to do things like arranged marriages; the best way to maintain relations between major powers is through familial ties.

Although she understood, she hadn't expected this day to come so quickly.

Seeing Du Gu Yan's expression change, Gu Xuan immediately explained: "Yanzi, don't misunderstand."

Du Gu Yan lifted her eyes and stared at Gu Xuan; after a long while, she said: "I understand your difficulties, but I hope you won't neglect Lingling because of me in the future. However, there's one thing I must make clear: your first time can only be mine, and any later younger sisters must call me sister!"

Gu Xuan, who had originally been thinking about how to persuade Du Gu Yan, froze for a moment, then suddenly understood.

Gu Xuan's heart was deeply moved; he embraced Du Gu Yan in his arms and fiercely sucked twice.

Du Gu Yan now not only possesses extraordinary talent, able to keep up with his pace, but also is so understanding and reasonable—this is what Gu Xuan most likes to see.

"Rest assured, Yanzi; if such a situation arises again in the future, you will forever hold the first place in my heart, and anyone else will have to come after you." Gu Xuan's eyes brimmed with tenderness as he sweet-talked Du Gu Yan.

However, Du Gu Yan still warned him: "I understand you, but don't rely on my words to go out and flirt; if you later casually bring back a woman, I and Lingling won't give you face."

Hearing this, Gu Xuan gave a faint smile; he originally had no intention of going out to flirt, he is lustful but with restraint.

After settling this matter, Gu Xuan left the ancient sword behind, after all, he was currently staying in Tian Dou City and it would be inconvenient to bring the ancient sword out.

And the ancient sword is destined to become the sect's guardian divine beast; for now it can stay at the Seven Treasure Academy, and when it gains strength it will go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect to guard the mountain gate.

Moreover, the ancient sword can still serve as a sparring partner for Zuo Yan, Yang Pojun, etc.; although Yang Pojun, Ma Bao, and Zhan Yu are already Soul Ancestor level, the ancient sword's strength is not weak.

Although the ancient sword is reluctant to part from Gu Xuan, it still obeys "dad" quite well, and also does fine with "mom," so it remained behind.

From then on, Du Gu Yan and Ning Rongrong and the others no longer needed to take a carriage to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect; they simply rode the ancient sword back.

Meanwhile, Gu Xuan brought Ye Lingling back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect, met Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, and settled a second engagement.

In the letter, Gu Xuan mentioned this matter; now it was settled so quickly, Gu Rong was quite pleased, while Ning Fengzhi became somewhat sentimental.

Second one! This is already the second; Gu Xuan has only been out of the mountain gate for a year, and he's already set two engagements!

Both engagements are to be held after Gu Xuan turns eighteen, but there are still a full five years until then—who knows if in those five years Gu Xuan will be able to bring back other women?

And the one reacting most strangely was Ning Rongrong; she is already twelve, and has her own understanding of male-female relations, especially since she now lives in the same academy as her sister-in-law Du Gu Yan.

Now that she knows Gu Xuan has already found her a second sister-in-law, Ning Rongrong is somewhat bewildered.

She naturally likes Gu Xuan gege, but Gu Xuan gege already has a sister-in-law Du Gu Yan; Ning Rongrong was certain Gu Xuan would not have a second woman, so she suppressed the flutter in her heart.

But imagination and reality are completely different; a few months later, Gu Xuan gege brought back a second sister-in-law and even got engaged.

Now Ning Rongrong is feeling anxious, because she also likes Gu Xuan gege, and she gets along very well with Du Gu Yan, treating her as a sister.

She feels that if Gu Xuan gege ever has a second woman, it would definitely be her, and then she and sister Du Gu Yan would get along very well, just like those women of their father could all get along nicely.

So Ning Rongrong naturally would not object to caring for Gu Xuan together with Du Gu Yan; but now, she is stunned—Gu Xuan gege again has a girlfriend.

However, the good news is that this girlfriend is a close friend of the elder sister-in-law Du Gu Yan; the bad news is that Gu Xuan gege has left again, and she hasn't yet had the chance to confess.

The simple-minded Ning Rongrong directly told Du Gu Yan her thoughts, and even had Du Gu Yan devise strategies to make Gu Xuan accept her.

Du Gu Yan had long noticed Ning Rongrong's feelings for Gu Xuan; otherwise she wouldn't have opened her mind so much, and regarding Gu Xuan's affairs she naturally would not oppose.

After all, she had already decided she would be Gu Xuan's woman; thinking of Gu Xuan's welfare is natural, and Ning Rongrong is the unique Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda—following Gu Xuan, his future power and status will only become more secure and lofty.

All things considered, Du Gu Yan actually gave Ning Rongrong strategies; all that's left is to wait for Gu Xuan's next appearance, then directly secure Ning Rongrong's Gu Xuan gege!!
