Crossing the Realm of Comprehension: I Awaken the Favorability System

Gu Junlin and his wife looked at each other. Although they felt a little strange, they still promised:

"Father, don't worry, we husband and wife will definitely keep our mouths shut!"

Gu Tianyi smiled gratifiedly, looked at Gu Yanran, and said softly:

"Since you are Lin'er's wife, a father should call you...daughter-in-law."

"If you don't mind, call me father-in-law in the future."

Gu Yanran nodded slightly, and said softly:

"Father."

Gu Tianyi smiled gratifiedly, but then a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, he was stunned for a while, and said slowly:

"Daughter-in-law, do you still remember... your parents?"

Gu Yanran's expression was gloomy, she shook her head and denied:

"Yan Ran has no father or mother since childhood, how did she ever know?"

Suddenly, Gu Yanran's beautiful eyes narrowed, she raised her head slightly, and asked in a trembling tone:

"Elder-in-law, don't you...do you know my parents?"

"It's more than acquaintance."

Gu Tianyi's eyes showed nostalgia, and his tone was extremely relaxed:

"Your father is my, Gu Tianyi's... only brother who survived his life!"

As if recalling something again, Gu Tianyi let out a long sigh, and his tone became a little sad:

"This matter...it's a long story, just listen to me slowly."

Gu Tianyi stood up, turned his back to the two, and said in a low voice:

"Daughter-in-law, actually...you are not my Gu family's child."

Gu Yanran was astonished, she was stunned for a while, and asked softly:

"Elder-in-law, how do you say this?"

Gu Tianyi didn't answer, but instead asked a nonsensical question:

"Daughter-in-law, have you ever heard of... Cangyan Empire?"

Gu Yanran nodded, and replied without thinking:

"The Cangyan Empire used to be one of the three great empires in the cultivation world, with overwhelming power and countless powerful people."

"But it's a pity that there was a sudden coup 16 years ago, the Lord Cangyan was killed, the whereabouts of Prince Cangyan was unknown, and all the court ministers turned their backs."

"So, the Cangyan Empire has become the current Beihai Empire."

After finishing speaking, Gu Yanran frowned slightly, and her tone was a bit puzzled:

"Elder-in-law, why are you asking this?"

Gu Tianyi turned his head to look at Gu Yanran, and slowly revealed a...shocking secret!

"Daughter-in-law, your real identity is... the little princess of the Cangyan Empire."

"Your mother is the princess of the Cangyan Empire... Ye Wanrou."

"And your father is the subjugated prince of the Cangyan Empire... Ye Wushuang!"

"Your surname is not Gu, but Ye. Your real name is... Ye Yanran."

Gu Yanran opened her mouth slightly and froze in place. The amount of information was too much for her to accept for a while.

She has been a waste for 16 years and has no impression of her parents.

I thought that in this life, I was just a son of a concubine who had no father or mother.

But who would have thought... her true identity is actually the little princess of the Cangyan Empire?

As the head of the Gu family, it is impossible for the father-in-law to joke with a junior like her.

So, nine times out of ten, it's true!

Gu Junlin quickly held his wife's jade hand and comforted her softly.

Although he was also a little surprised by his wife's life experience, when he thought of his wife...as the heroine of destiny, he was immediately relieved.

Destiny's heroine, it's normal to have a bit of cheating.

The most urgent task at the moment is to let Madam take it easy and give her some time to accept the reality.

Not long after, Gu Yanran gradually regained her composure and asked softly:

"Eunuch, can you tell me about your parents?"

Gu Tianyi nodded slightly, with a flash of reminiscence in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Your mother, with a stunning appearance, was once recognized by the Cangyan Empire as the most beautiful princess."

"I think back then, countless heroes traveled thousands of miles to visit Cang Yan, just to smile for Princess Bo... Wanrou."

"But who would have thought that the knowledgeable, gentle and charming Princess Wanrou would have secretly expressed her heart to that Crown Prince Cangyan!"

Gu Yanran listened with gusto, suddenly thought of something, and asked:

"Then... father, what kind of person is he?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Tianyi's mouth, and his eyes showed nostalgia:

"Everyone in the world rumors that Prince Cangyan is a martial idiot who doesn't understand love between men and women."

"But who would have thought that Ye Wushuang, who devoted himself to cultivating and pursuing the pinnacle of martial arts, would have stolen the heart of Princess Wanrou early on."

Gu Yanran pursed her lips and smiled, and asked curiously:

"Elder-in-law, how did you...have an intersection with your father?"

Gu Tianyi pondered for a long time, then slowly said:

"It's a long story, the first time I met your father was 20 years ago."

"20 years ago?"

Gu Yanran murmured softly.

"That's right, to be precise, it was a place of trial 20 years ago."

"Speaking of which, your father and I don't know each other at all."

Gu Tianyi paused, and continued to speak:

"At that time, your father and I fell in love with a Zhuyan grass at the same time, and neither of us would back down."

"So... the two of us started fighting."

"Your father and I are on par in strength, and neither of us can do anything to the other."

"In the end, it was your mother who came forward and stopped us."

There was a smile on the corner of Gu Tianyi's mouth, as if he was recalling the past, and also seemed to be... cherishing the memory of an old friend.

"Later, because of that sparring, I became close friends with your father."

"Your father is loyal and has a free and easy personality. He can be regarded as a...good friend."

"but..."

Gu Yanran's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she asked softly:

"but?"

Gu Tianyi had a strange expression, and his tone became a little helpless:

"But...your father is too competitive. He has been fighting with me all day long, but every time he can't tell the difference."

"In order to make your father give up, I made a... bet."

Speaking of this, Gu Tianyi didn't say anything more, but instead gave the two meaningful glances.

"A bet? What bet?"

Gu Yanran hurriedly asked, she didn't know anything about her parents, so she naturally wanted to know more.

"This bet is about you and... Lin'er."

Gu Tianyi said mysteriously.

"Husband?"

Gu Yanran was puzzled, why did this bet have anything to do with her husband?

Gu Tianyi chuckled, and simply didn't hold back any more, and explained:

"Sixteen years ago, when your mother was pregnant, she used spiritual energy to detect and found that it was a girl."

"It just so happens that my Lin'er is a boy, so...in order to scare away your stubborn father, I made a bet with your father."

"The content of the bet is..."

"If I win, his daughter will marry Lin'er as his wife. If I lose, I will give him a few altars of drunken wine."

"I see."

Gu Junlin stroked his chin and murmured thoughtfully.

At first, he was a little puzzled, why his father let him marry a woman he had never met without warning.

It turned out that the marriage contract between the two of them had been established since childhood.

In this way, it makes sense.

Gu Junlin looked sideways at his lovely wife beside him, couldn't help pinching the tender flesh on her cheek, and jokingly said:

"Ma'am, do we count as the order of our parents... the words of a matchmaker?"
