There are too many villains, so it's reasonable for the heroine to fall for him!

Hearing the word "holy son", the empress suddenly became nervous for some reason and said quickly: "Let...let him wait outside for a while. Elder Ran Yue and I have something to discuss."

Leng Xi looked puzzled.

Why did the empress lose her composure today?

But she still nodded and said, "Yes."

After that, she turned around and left.

The empress breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately looked at Ran Yue in embarrassment and asked, "If...if it is true as you said, Gu Yun has that intention towards me."

"Then should I not accept him as my apprentice, and should I persuade him to give up such an idea?"

Ran Yue smiled playfully and said, "You don't like Gu Yun?"

The empress frowned and said seriously, "Of course I like children, but I am the favorite of an elder, and... it's not that kind of love."

Ran Yue laughed and immediately said, "If you like it, then you can get married. What do you care about the kind of love it is?"

"Yueyao, in addition to practicing the skills, a cultivator must also cultivate his mind. Why not take this opportunity to experience what is called love between men and women?"

"You said you are so old, and you don't even want to contact a man at ordinary times. It will definitely not work for a long time."

"I think Gu Yun is quite suitable."

The empress's face was hot.

Although she had a good impression of Gu Yun, she had never thought about it in this direction.

After hesitating for a long time, she still said: "No, no, this... is not decent."

"A great Empress Taichu, attacking a young male inner disciple, it will be laughed at if it gets out."

Ran Yue sighed, and said with regret: "You accepted him as your last disciple, and now you are closed, who knows what you two are doing?"

The Empress' eyes widened immediately, looking at her best friend in disbelief.

It was the first time she heard that a last disciple could be explained in this way?

"Is your Yaochi a legitimate sect?"

The Empress's face turned red, and her jade neck also turned pink.

She looked at her best friend in front of her with some anger, usually like to instill some improper knowledge into her.

It was just nonsense.

"I just think of Gu Yun as a good junior, nothing else, you are not allowed to talk nonsense in the future."

"Besides, what you said just now is all your guess. Gu Yun may not really...really have any special thoughts about me."

Ran Yue curled her lips and felt bored, so she stopped talking.

After a while, when the empress calmed down a little, she sent a message to Leng Xi, saying: "Let the Holy Son in!"

After a while, Leng Xi came from the outer door with a suave figure.

The man was Gu Yun. He came to the empress and bowed respectfully and said: "Disciple Gu Yun, see the empress."

The empress was slightly stunned.

Gu Yun was wearing a beige coat with some light golden patterns on his clothes.

He had a jade face and tied hair, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and he was extraordinary.

What a peerless gentleman!

The empress's heart was slightly moved, and then she recalled the dirty words her best friend had said to her just now.

Suddenly, she felt guilty and flustered, and quickly avoided Gu Yun's gaze, saying in a somewhat incomprehensible way: "You... are here, OK... do you... have anything to do?"

Gu Yun looked at the empress with a confused look on his face, and asked: "Empress, didn't you... ask me to come?"

Ran Yue next to him also chuckled and quickly covered her face with her sleeves.

I didn't expect it would be so fun to see my best friend embarrassed.

It's the first time I've seen Yue Yao so nervous after knowing her for so long.

The empress also realized that she had lost her composure, and immediately glared at Ran Yue angrily, then took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

Then she returned to the cold and majestic empress of the past, saying: "Well, it was indeed me who asked you to come."

"It's like this, I see that you are gifted, smart, and most importantly, you have a good character, so I want to accept you... as my disciple!"

"I wonder what the Holy Son thinks?"

Ran Yue next to him almost laughed out loud.

Accepted Gu Yun?

Yueyao, Yueyao, why did you say what was in your heart?

However, Gu Yun did not notice anything wrong with the empress. He was just surprised to hear that the empress wanted to accept him as a disciple.

There was no such a place in the original book!

But he soon figured it out. He probably took away the luck of the protagonist Ye Bufan.

So all his opportunities belonged to him.

Gu Yun thought seriously. If he could become the empress's disciple, wouldn't he be able to invest openly and trigger rewards?

Why not?

So, Gu Yun immediately said happily: "Disciple is willing!"

Seeing his excited face, the empress became more guilty and suspicious.

Gu Yun... seems to be a little too happy, does he really like me?

Without waiting for her reaction, Gu Yun immediately took out a holy spiritual fruit from the space ring, the Qingti Dao Fruit!

He said: "Master, since you have become my disciple, it would be a bit unreasonable for me not to honor you with something."

"I heard that when Master was young, he traveled all over the wilderness to find the Qingti Dao Fruit, and even went deep into dangerous places."

"But in the end, he still couldn't find it. After knowing this, I immediately asked my family to help find it. I just found one not long ago."

"I was just thinking about how to give it to you. I didn't expect you to accept me as your disciple today. Then I will honor you as your disciple."

As he said, Gu Yun held the small box of Qingti Dao Fruit in both hands and handed it to the empress.

The empress was also stunned.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of apprenticeship, she hadn't taught Gu Yun anything yet, and Gu Yun gave her this precious thing.

Ran Yue next to him couldn't stand it anymore and blurted out.

"Boy, you even asked about what Yueyao wanted when she was young. You care too much about her!"

After saying that, she was so excited that she slapped the table and looked at the empress and said, "Yueyao, it's confirmed. I said this boy likes..."

Before she could finish her words, the empress glared at her and released a terrifying pressure in an instant.

Ran Yue felt stuffy in the chest and couldn't speak.

Gu Yun, who was standing next to her, was also implicated. He tensed up all over and felt like a mountain was pressing down on him.

He was suspicious. What was going on?

The empress was too unstable. How could she turn against him so easily?
