Chapter 255 - Chapter 255: 255 Asura Fields (2/2)
These people obviously read too many novels.
Regardless, Pei Qianlan’s fame has already resonated throughout Great Zhou.
Many young women regard her as an idol.
Cheng Qingyu is one of them, so when she heard that the blue-clothed woman claimed her last name was Pei, she excitedly yelled out.
Pei Qianlan was somewhat embarrassed when her identity was directly exposed, but luckily her face was hidden behind a veil, so no one could see her flushed face.
“Brother Gu is not in the Divine City at the moment,” Cheng Tianxin quickly changed the topic to save her.
Pei Qianlan asked, “Then where has he gone?”
“I am not sure, he did not tell me,” Cheng Tianxin replied.
“Oh.”
Pei Qianlan was a bit disappointed.
Half a year ago, Gu Yang had practically tricked her into that secret realm, then claimed he had some business to take care of and left them all behind, setting out on his own.
Ten days ago, she finally broke into the Divine Power Realm and forcefully opened the exit, leaving the secret realm.
On her way to the Divine City, in order to ensure her safety, she purchased a donkey rather than flying. She rode this donkey all the way to the Divine City.
Along the way, she heard many rumors about Gu Yang.
The most troubling to her were the scandals about him, Princess Chang, and the queen. In particular, the rumor that Gu Yang murdered the emperor for the queen.
Pei Qianlan knew that he was fully capable of such actions.
She had also heard that Gu Yang had left the Divine City, but she was at a loss as to where to look for him and decided to go to the Divine City to inquire.
“Miss Pei,” Cheng Tianxin hesitated for a moment with the address, but he still went with the term ‘Miss’, “Brother Gu has offended many people in the Divine City.”
“Given your close relationship with Brother Gu, I’m afraid those people may pose a threat to you. The literary institute would be a safer place to go. Brother Gu has a strong relationship with Principal Zhou, so he might know Brother Gu’s current whereabouts.”
His words were very tactful.
In reality, in the Divine City, the only one who can be considered an enemy of Gu Yang is the Lord of the State.
To the Lord of the State, Gu Yang, being a regicide is an inevitable target for eradication.
The Lord of the State would naturally not target a woman who has just broken into the Divine Power Realm, but his subordinates might not be so scrupulous.
And in the Divine City, only the Empress Dowager and literary institute can protect Pei Qianlan.
Pei Qianlan said, “Thank you for the reminder, Dean.”
Pei Qianlan is a sensible person. She bid farewell to Cheng Tianxin on the spot and headed to the literary institute.
Cheng Qingyu volunteered to guide her there.
To avoid alarming those at the front entrance, Cheng Tianxin arranged a carriage for her to leave from the back door.
“Sister Pei, how did you meet Brother Gu?”
“How did you achieve Divine Power so quickly? Everyone is saying that Brother Gu gave you an elixir, is it true?”
Along the way, Cheng Qingyu chirped non-stop with questions.
Pei Qianlan was also quite fond of this vivacious and beautiful girl who made herself at home, and the two chatted the entire way.
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of the literary institute.
Suddenly, the carriage came to a halt.
The carriage driver reported, “Miss, the carriage can’t get past.”
Unable to pass?
Pei Qianlan and Cheng Qingyu pushed open the carriage window, looking forward, they saw an extremely luxurious carriage blocking the way.
Cheng Qingyu was surprised, “It’s Princess Chang’s carriage!”
Then, a condescending voice sounded, “I heard someone was pretending to be Gu Yang’s wife, in this world, there are truly some shameless women.”
This was undisguised public provocation!
At this point, it was school dismissal time, there were many people at the entrance of the Institute who recognized Princess Chang’s carriage.
This carriage had been parked here for quite some time, which had puzzled onlookers. But now, upon hearing Princess Chang’s words, they were all stunned.
Pei Qianlan was almost furious, but she refused to lose her composure in front of a potential rival, speaking coldly, “Gu Yang and I have already pledged ourselves to each other for eternity. It’s hardly the place of any hussy to interfere.”
At this, the crowd slowly began to realize what was happening and it instantly caused an uproar.
Princess Chang was having a public showdown with another woman out of jealousy.
This was truly the sight that people most enjoyed watching.
“How absurd. He has never mentioned having a wife to me. It appears you are deluding yourself, daydreaming.”
“Ha! There is much you do not know. For instance, Gu Yang has several wives. If you wish to join us, you will have to be the fifth, and in future, you will have to pour tea and bow for me.”
The moment these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
These were harsh words, how could Princess Chang possibly tolerate them?
Boom!
A strong surge of mana erupted skyward, Princess Chang furiously replying, “You insolent woman, how dare you insult me like this?”
On the other side, Pei Qianlan did not back down. A steady stream of sword intent defused the suppression, replying, “What, can’t take it? You’re so jealous, how could Gu Yang fancy you?”
