Chapter 184 You've finally arrived...
The vast palace was filled with a lively atmosphere, fireworks soared in the sky, red lanterns hung everywhere, and a long red carpet stretched from the main hall to the south gate entrance.
The presence of numerous Sun Wizards in the vicinity created a warm atmosphere even on the already chilly autumn night.
In the backyard of the palace, Gu Qinghan put on a wedding dress.
Cui Sanniang combed her hair with a complicated expression.
"Princess, he should be on his way. You don't need to wear your wedding dress anymore..."
Gu Qinghan sighed softly, "I do hope he doesn't come. This place is already riddled with traps. His business is just beginning to take shape; it's not worth risking his life for me..."
She had been brainwashed by the Crown Prince some time ago, and only today did she learn from Cui San Niang that her father was so despicable.
They insisted on notifying Xu Tianyi only on the last day of the wedding.
The purpose was to give the opponent no time to react, to force them to hurry on their way and deplete their strength, and to catch them off guard.
"Canghai said that he is also a Grandmaster. With three Grandmasters, including Ning Hongye, coming together, there might be a chance."
Despite the Crown Prince's best efforts to guard against it, he never expected that Cui Sanniang was the one who tipped him off.
Gu Qinghan was deeply moved and turned to look at Cui Sanniang: "But now, there are already two Grandmasters at the peak of the Grandmaster realm in the palace, as well as three Grandmasters at the early stage. They have just advanced and have a bright future ahead of them."
It would be unwise to put him in such a dangerous situation for the sake of a useless person like me.
Cui Sanniang was speechless: "If he really doesn't come, you'll be unhappy..."
Gu Qinghan's lips twitched: "I..."
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Just listen to your sister and wait. Canghai said Xu Tianyi is very confident. You should trust your man."
Gu Qinghan lowered her head: "But... I'm afraid he'll misunderstand me..."
She finally realized what was happening today.
For Xu Tianyi, his actions also carried a strong sense of betrayal.
During his seclusion, he frequently met with his father, and was even summoned by his father to attend banquets on several occasions.
With Xu Tianyi absent, I was ignorant of many things and was misled by the Crown Prince into opening up a large amount of trade. He even allowed the other side to plant people to lead their envoys to inspect the territory and understand the core of the new policy.
A great many secrets were exposed to the Crown Prince, and even the army's training methods were seen by his men.
I felt like I had done something wrong and I felt very sorry for Xu Tianyi.
But with Xu Tianyi on one side and her own father on the other, she was in a very difficult and aggrieved position.
This also led her to be afraid to tell Xu Tianyi many things, for fear of making him angry.
This gave the Crown Prince's people an opportunity, and they kept pushing their luck, using her kinship and goodwill to gradually erode Leizhou.
Using her name, they established their official authority, flaunted their power, suppressed officials, and allied with wealthy and powerful families.
In the end, she even left without saying goodbye, having been tricked into coming here, and was forced to ask Xu Tianyi to risk his life to save her.
Thinking of all this, Gu Qinghan couldn't stop her tears from falling.
She hated her own powerlessness, as well as her low level of cultivation and shallow wisdom.
That's life. In the past, although I lived in the city, everyone said that I was a princess with a noble status.
Under his mother's protection, he was not necessarily rich, but at least he had no worries about food and clothing.
His knowledge, martial arts skills, techniques, and talent are all top-notch.
But in just the past six months, she has already felt her own powerlessness.
There are people more talented than you everywhere.
Yin Ziping, a doctor with unparalleled medical skills; Ji Yingying, who is tenacious and hardworking; Wei Qing, who is clear-headed, fair, and perceptive; and Shen Miao, who is playful but can be called a master craftsman.
Compared to them, I am nothing; Ji Yingying could even do my job.
What use are social etiquette, poetry, and songs?
She was even less understanding than Yin Ziping, and she often threw tantrums, yet her cultivation level didn't improve.
Ning Hongye was already a Grandmaster, which made her feel extremely inferior, not to mention Grandmasters Yue Shan, Hu Wei, and Ji Canghai.
After witnessing so many heroes from all over the world, he felt like a puppet being manipulated.
Even if this person is one's own father.
She cried, and her tears were heartbreaking.
"Sister Cui...Am I really useless...?"
The sight of pear blossoms glistening with rain and the chill in the air made even Cui San Niang feel a pang of sympathy.
"Qinghan, why are you thinking so much? Sometimes I envy you. You have a man backing you up. Look at me, that bastard Ji Canghai is completely unreliable!"
Gu Qinghan wiped away her tears and looked up at her.
"But you're amazing too, sister. As a woman, you controlled the entire Fog Sea, while I couldn't even defend Leizhou for him..."
Cui Sanniang rolled her eyes at her: "Didn't His Highness the Crown Prince say that he was a kept man? You've provided him with so much help while he was a kept man, how can you feel useless? Canghai said that Xu Tianyi's current cultivation techniques and martial arts all come from your mother's Ice Heart Technique."
You are very important to him...
Gu Qinghan stared blankly at her: "Really... I always felt that he was very important without me... If I weren't there, he wouldn't have to take risks. He said, 'Build high walls and store up grain, and delay declaring himself king.'"
If I die, he'll still have an excuse...
What are you thinking about?
A gentle voice interrupted her.
Hearing Xu Tianyi's voice coming from inside, she felt a tremor in her heart and turned to look at her doorway in disbelief.
Cui San Niang was also startled and turned her head.
Xu Tianyi's gentle smile made Gu Qinghan clench her small hands tightly, and a feeling of grievance and guilt welled up in her heart.
"Heaven's Righteousness..."
She muttered to herself.
Xu Tianyi smiled and slowly approached.
Seeing the sweet gaze between the two, Cui Sanniang couldn't help but feel envious.
"Master Xu, the Great Shaman of the Blazing Sun and the Ji family patriarch are keeping a close eye on things..."
Xu Tianyi nodded: "Sister Cui, don't worry, I used a bewitching spell and a concealment technique, no one knows I'm here. By the way, Ji Canghai is waiting for you..."
After saying that, he pointed to the door.
Cui San Niang also felt a pang of longing, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
"That silly boy is here too..."
She quickly went out and gently closed the door.
Sure enough, it was quiet outside; all the guards seemed to be asleep.
There were even two grandmasters.
Ji Canghai raised an eyebrow at himself: "Third Sister, come quickly..."
Cui Sanniang glared at him and immediately chased after him.
. . .
inside the room.
As soon as Cui Sanniang left, Gu Qinghan could no longer suppress her emotions and threw herself into Xu Tianyi's arms.
"Tianyi...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..."
Warm tears streamed down his chest like a burst dam.
Holding him in my arms felt like holding the whole world.
All the misunderstandings vanished the moment I saw him and hugged him.
