It was evident that she had advantages.
Even after he had exhausted all the benefits she provided, he would remain as cold and heartless as ever.
She was acutely aware of the kind of life she had endured alongside Lian Xue for all these years. She had no intention of repeating the same mistake.
Why had she returned to the clan? This was the reason.
Moreover, her plan extended beyond merely staying in the clan.
Her true aim was to seize the right moment to request a divorce from the Emperor.
She yearned to sever all ties with Shen Chengwang.
She aspired to chart her own path for the future.
Given Lady You’s strategy, why would she desire the purported position of a wife?
“If there’s nothing else, you may leave. Lian Xue has just returned from the palace and needs to rest. Your presence is unsettling her,” Lady You declared as she ushered him away, retreating to the inner chambers.
Shen Chengwang stood stupefied.
Could it really be true?
She had no desire for the role of a Madam.
But why?
Then what did she desire?
Could it be that he had been mistaken all along?
Wasn’t this an absurd notion?
Shen Chengwang attempted to follow her, only to be halted by the clan’s servant girls, who heeded their masters and paid no mind to him. In a fit of anger, Shen Chengwang waved his hand and departed.
Shen Lianxue regarded Lady You with admiration.
Lady You’s current demeanor exceeded her expectations; she was entirely different from the gentle woman she had been before. With this change, Shen Lianxue felt reassured about the upcoming mission.
Taking advantage of the moment, Gu Chaoyan began instructing Lady You in the art of crafting elixirs, offering guidance on the process as well as the steps to follow after creating them.
With everything in order, Gu Chaovan felt a slight sense of relief.
Sensing something amiss, Lady You questioned, “Lian Xue, are you embarking on a long journey? You seem different. There’s no need to rush. Take your time to share your thoughts with me in the future.”
Gu Chaoyan struggled to respond.
After some contemplation, she replied, “It’s nothing. I just want to ensure you leave a favorable impression on the Emperor, so I thought it best to clarify things upfront to avoid any misunderstandings.”
“Mother, don’t dwell on it. Begin practicing with the elixir; I’m going to rest,”
Gu Chaoyan stated.
Turning away, she couldn’t help but harbor some worries.
However, there was no alternative.
Once the mission concluded, she was supposed to depart.
Inside her room, Gu Chaoyan initiated the summoning of the Chaotic Space.
“Have you succeeded? Have I fulfilled my task?” Gu Chaoyan inquired straightforwardly.
After a lengthy pause, the chaotic space eventually responded, “Indeed, you have. You’ve completed your mission.”
Gu Chaoyan let out a sigh of relief.
Reflecting on how much time she had spent here, she realized there were still tasks left to complete. Furthermore, she was eager to refine her skills as swiftly as possible.
“Then, please allow me to return to the Chaotic Space for refinement,” Gu Chaoyan implored impatiently.
For a protracted moment, the chaotic space remained silent.
Subsequently, the aged voice resumed, “By accomplishing this mission, you’ll only be able to enhance your cultivation up to the Paragon Warrior realm. Are you willing to proceed with the mission?”
Having articulated this, the elderly voice appeared somewhat anxious that Gu Chaoyan might decline. Therefore, it added enticingly, “It’s not a challenging endeavor. You only need to devise a method to gain renown in Southern Mist, and the reward from the Chaotic Space will assist you in attaining the status of a Paragon Martial King. What are your thoughts?”
“You’ve already come this far; why not continue?”
