Chapter 321: Force Him to Reveal the Truth

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Feng Tianlan remained unfazed and said, “Baseless rumors. He can be hailed as the most handsome man in the world, so he shouldn’t look too bad. Perhaps what you saw wasn’t his true appearance. As for hidden illnesses… I believe, since he has a son, it’s unlikely he has any hidden illnesses or peculiarities. His aversion to women might be because he had some unpleasant experiences.” Unable to detect any flaws on his face, Gu Qingluan turned her eyes and probed, “Are you close to him? Why do 1 feel like you’re defending him?”

“Since you’ve done me a favor, I’ll speak frankly when you ask.”

Haha!

What’s he saying? Is he talking nonsense?

Gu Qingluan still found him mysterious.

She didn’t believe it was impossible to make him reveal the truth!

“So, according to you, did 1 misunderstand him? You seem to know a lot about him. Are you close to him?”

“We’re just from the same sect,” Feng Tianlan replied calmly.

The same sect?

Isn’t it more like the same man?

On the surface, she pretended not to know and asked, “I see, so do you happen to know the identity of the woman who gave birth to the Royal Highness Lan’s son?”

Feng Tianlan replied, “I don’t.”

“I’ve met her!” Gu Qingluan chuckled, “Not only do I know, but we’re also close. She’s planning to choose a good man from her suitors to marry and raise her child.”

Feng Tianlan’s eyes gleamed with a dangerous glint. “Suitors?”

Gu Qingluan nodded. “Yes, indeed. Over the years, many men have been infatuated with her. She initially intended to raise her child on her own without marrying. But recently, it seems that the Royal Highness Lan has been pestering her. She finds it troublesome and thinks it’s better to get married. Since you and the Royal Highness Lan are from the same sect, you should understand his temper. Do you think the Royal Highness Lan would go berserk if he found out about this?”

Feng Tianlan squinted his phoenix eyes, his tone ominously cold. “He won’t go mad, but he’ll kill that audacious man.”

Tsk, he sounded quite domineering.

Gu Qingluan coldly chuckled inside. “You can continue acting all you want. Let’s see who’s the better actor!”

She pretended to heave a sigh of relief. “Oh, that’s fine then. After all, there are plenty of men out there. Men with two legs are everywhere. The Royal Highness Lan can’t possibly kill all the men in the world, right? Thank you, Brother Feng. I’ll convey your words to my friend.”

Ha!

Was she really planning to marry just any man?

Feng Tianlan said sternly, “I advise you to discourage her from this misguided idea.”

Gu Qingluan furrowed her brow and closely observed the man before her. “Brother, you’re not being fair. My friend has a child, but she hasn’t tied the knot. What’s wrong with her wanting to get married?”

“If she’s going to marry, why not marry the Royal Highness Lan? He happens to be the child’s father, isn’t that the right thing to do? I believe Yuanxi wouldn’t want a stepfather.”

“That might not be the case. Even if Yuanxi isn’t thrilled about it, I think he’d still comprehend and back my friend,” Gu Qingluan said with a raised eyebrow and a smile. “You can stay here and take a break. I’ll go look for my friend and encourage her to make a move. Time is ticking, and she shouldn’t let any more of it slip away as she’s not getting any younger.”

She stood up and brushed off non-existent dust from her robe.

This was her spatial artifact, and if she left, he wouldn’t be able to leave this place.

Thinking that he’d be trapped here while she went off to marry some random man, Feng Tianlan couldn’t sit still.

“Hold on!”

With her back facing him, Gu Qingluan wore a mischievous smile in her eyes and continued walking without pausing.

Feng Tianlan sternly shouted, “Gu Qingluan, stop right there!”

At the same time, Gu Qingluan’s figure disappeared.

Feng Tianlan chased after her and reached the outside of the wooden house. “Master, what’s wrong with you?” Jingyu looked at him in astonishment.

It was the first time he had seen his master act like this!
