"Qianyan, Madam, listen to my excuses! No, no, let me explain!"

Gu Yun broke out in a cold sweat, cursing Su Wanyin, that quirky brat, eight hundred times in his mind.

She just recognized him as her elder brother, and today she comes to Heartbreak Peak to sow discord. This girl is clearly doing it on purpose!

"An explanation? Very well, I'll go to the front hall today and listen to how you two siblings reminisce about the past."

Mo Qianyan snorted coldly, pushed Gu Yun aside with a flick of her sleeve, and transformed into a streak of cold light, heading straight for the main hall of Hanyue Palace.

Gu Yun stood there, wanting to cry but unable to.

"Father, what are you daydreaming about? Mother's murderous aura just now...did she go to kill someone?"

Gu Chengfeng approached, carrying the black sword.

"Attack someone? She was going to attack your father, me!"

Gu Yun slapped her son on the forehead.

"What are you all standing there for? Come with me to the front hall to save the day!"

Hanyue Palace, the main hall for welcoming guests.

The atmosphere inside the main hall was extremely eerie.

Mo Qianyan sat high in the main seat, dressed in white that was as pure as snow, exuding an imposing aura without being angry.

The icy sword intent of the half-Nascent Soul cultivator circulated within the hall, suppressing the Cold Moon Palace disciples standing on both sides, who dared not even breathe.

In the guest seat, Su Wanyin wore a light gold dress and possessed unparalleled beauty.

She was holding a cup of spiritual tea, a seemingly obedient but actually cunning smile playing on her lips.

"Wan Yin greets the Ice and Snow Sword Master."

Su Wanyin rose gracefully and gave a curt bow.

"You're too kind, Fairy Su."

Mo Qianyan's tone was indifferent.

"I heard that Fairy Su has come today to find her relatives?"

Su Wanyin blinked her bright, lively eyes and said with a smile.

"Yes, yesterday, my brother personally acknowledged Wanyin as his sister at Broken Soul Gorge. He said that if Wanyin is ever wronged in the future, she can come to Cold Moon Palace for his support. Sister-in-law, you won't blame my brother for making this decision on his own, will you?"

The way she called out "Sister-in-law" was clear and melodious.

But to Mo Qianyan's ears, it sounded grating no matter how she listened.

"Yesterday? Broken Soul Gorge?"

Mo Qianyan's eyes sharpened instantly.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the main hall.

Gu Yun braced himself and strode in with Gu Chengfeng.

As soon as Gu Yun entered the room, she felt two pairs of eyes piercing her like sharp swords.

One was icy cold, the other was full of mockery.

"Ahem, Qianyan, we have guests here."

Gu Yunqian coughed twice.

Su Wanyin immediately stood up and went to greet him like a cheerful sparrow.

"Big brother! You've finally arrived! Wan Yin has brought you the finest Fire Mulberry Wine from the Golden Sun Sect today as a token of her respect."

As she spoke, she deliberately tugged at Gu Yun's sleeve affectionately in front of Mo Qianyan.

"hiss."

Gu Yun gasped, feeling the supreme, detached sword intent emanating from the main seat lock onto the top of his head.

Without any hesitation, he pulled back his sleeve, glared at Su Wanyin, and transmitted his voice through gritted teeth.

"You brat! Are you deliberately trying to make me sleep on the threshold of the main hall tonight?!"

Su Wanyin playfully stuck out her tongue and replied.

"Don't worry, brother. Wanyin knows what she's doing and will make sure your wife is happy."

Afterwards, Su Wanyin stopped teasing.

He turned around, his expression extremely solemn, and bowed deeply to Mo Qianyan.

"Sister-in-law, please calm down. Wanyin came here today not to cause trouble, but specifically to thank you and clarify yesterday's misunderstanding."

Mo Qianyan raised an eyebrow, her coldness softening slightly: "Clarify what?"

Su Wanyin took a deep breath and said loudly, "Yesterday at Broken Soul Gorge, Wanyin had some misunderstandings about my elder brother because of the kindness I received thirty-one years ago."

"Wanyin originally thought that her elder brother had been wronged in Hanyue Palace, or even coerced by her sister-in-law. So Wanyin overestimated herself and wanted to take her elder brother away."

Upon hearing this, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

Gu Chengfeng stared wide-eyed, thinking to himself that this woman was really bold to say such things in front of his mother.

However, Su Wanyin changed the subject, looking at Gu Yun with eyes full of admiration.

"But my older brother scolded me harshly in front of me, waking me up!"

"My elder brother said that my sister-in-law is the only love of his life. He not only didn't suffer any grievances in the Cold Moon Palace, but was also proud of it. He said that he is a complete henpecked husband, and in order not to make my sister-in-law misunderstand or be jealous, he would rather wear a mask and play the villain than acknowledge me!"

Su Wanyin looked directly at Mo Qianyan and said sincerely, "Sister-in-law, to have a peerless expert who can tear apart a Golden Core demon with his bare hands willingly and proudly utter the words 'henpecked,' I feel nothing but admiration and envy. My brother's deep affection for you is enough to move any female cultivator in the world. This 'sister-in-law' from me comes from the bottom of my heart."

Inside the main hall, you could hear a pin drop.

Gu Yun stood there, his old face slightly flushed.

Although he did say those words, it was still somewhat shameful to have them repeated in public like that.

And in the main seat.

Mo Qianyan's previously tense face was now completely stunned.

She looked at Gu Yun, and the frost in her eyes seemed to melt away instantly, as if it had met the warm spring sun.

Instead, she felt an undeniable blush and a great sense of satisfaction.

That arrogant and unruly man who crushed the top talents on the Hidden Dragon List was actually asserting his dominance for her so confidently, even at the cost of infamy.

What woman could resist such extreme favoritism and a sense of security?

Mo Qianyan took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the wildly upturned corners of her mouth, and tried her best to maintain the dignity of the palace master.

"cough."

She cleared her throat, and the icy sword intent emanating from her body completely dissipated.

Her tone softened considerably: "Since Gu Yun has acknowledged you as her sister, then I will accept the title of sister-in-law. Someone, bring a seat for Fairy Su."

A potentially chaotic scene that could have erupted at the Supreme Heartless Peak was defused by Su Wanyin's few words of high emotional intelligence.

They even fed Mo Qianyan a big mouthful of candy instead.

Gu Yun breathed a long sigh of relief and secretly gave Su Wanyin a thumbs up.

This girl has really found her way in life.

After everyone was seated, the atmosphere finally became harmonious.

Once the atmosphere inside the main hall eases, it becomes warm and relaxed.

Su Wanyin presented Mo Qianyan with the Jin Yang Sect's top-grade Fire Mulberry Wine and many rare spiritual materials, calling her "sister-in-law" repeatedly, making Mo Qianyan unable to suppress her smile.

Gu Yun sat to the side, drinking tea and watching the two sisters-in-law chat happily, feeling very comfortable.

That's more like it. Why should a family fight and kill each other? It's much better to be harmonious and peaceful.

However, when Mo Qianyan caught a glimpse of Gu Yun's carefree and smug expression, as if everything was peaceful, her pride resurfaced.

Mo Qianyan put down her teacup, her beautiful face hardening slightly as she adopted the authority of the Palace Master of Hanyue Palace, and abruptly began to reprimand:

"You, you're never serious! You hold the prestigious position of Grand Elder of my Cold Moon Palace, receiving the sect's top salary, yet you idle away your days away. You're either making a fire and roasting meat in the back mountain, or playing with the dog and beating your son all over the yard. Where is even a trace of the dignity of an elder? What kind of behavior is this!"

This statement came out.

Gu Chengfeng, who had just picked up his teacup in the main hall, almost spat out his tea. He quickly covered his mouth, his face turning red, and his shoulders trembling.

Su Wanyin, who was sitting in the guest seat, was also stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She quickly covered her lips with her sleeve, her eyes crinkling as she looked at the couple.

The female disciples of Hanyue Palace standing on both sides lowered their heads in unison, their shoulders shaking wildly, clearly trying their best to suppress their laughter.

The usually ruthless Elder Gu was scolded like a meddlesome apprentice in front of the Palace Master.

This scene is truly a once-in-a-century spectacle.

Gu Yunyun's hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air, and she was suddenly stunned.

He instinctively wanted to retort, but then his mind raced.

Hey, Qianyan is right!

"yes."

Gu Yun touched his chin.

Looking back on the past six months, I've fought my way from the Cave of Ten Thousand Bones to the Gorge of Broken Souls, and from the Valley of Falling Stars to the Forest of Ghost Cries.

He fights by relying on the abnormal physical body of the "Great Wilderness Body" to withstand attacks, and kills by relying on the devouring power of the "Thirteen Pearls of the Purple Mansion" to absorb them.

The weapon was a black sword.

The moves are the most primitive: swinging, smashing, biting, and tearing!

This fighting style is simple, brutal, and extremely effective, leaving all sorts of powerful and formidable opponents begging for mercy.

But this demeanor makes him look like an uncivilized ancient savage, not at all like a sage cultivator.

Back in the Cangyuan Secret Realm, Qianyan casually conjured up array runes to isolate her aura; how graceful she was!

I, a dignified old monster, even have to borrow a fire from my wife.

If this gets out, what will become of the Grand Elder's prestige?

Gu Yun muttered to himself.
