Tian Yuan

Chapter 2568 Sister, Take Care

This is Gongsun Nan's secluded residence, so Chen Qingyuan naturally cannot barge in directly. Although he was pleasantly surprised, his behavior was impolite.

At the entrance to Shengzhang Pavilion is an oval-shaped door with a soft, light-colored hue.

Thick fog enveloped the area around the door.

Today, Chen Qingyuan was dressed in purple, exuding nobility and elegance. An Xiruo remained unchanged, dressed in blood-red robes, her face veiled, her stunning beauty captivating yet retaining a cool and aloof air.

"Sister, I'm back."

Chen Qingyuan stood outside the door, revealing his true appearance.

The sound, like a silk thread, penetrated the entrance and reached the depths of Shengzhang Pavilion.

Gongsun Nan, who was meditating, was dressed in dark clothes.

Upon hearing this sound, she suddenly opened her eyes, her face showing surprise and disbelief.

The word "sister" was like an incredibly sharp blade, easily piercing through Gongsun Nan's psychological defenses, leaving her trembling and unable to calm down.

Gongsun Nan immediately looked towards the entrance and indeed saw the heroic and valiant Chen Qingyuan. It was not an illusion, but a fact.

"He's back."

Upon seeing Chen Qingyuan, Gongsun Nan's eyes welled up with tears.

After many years apart, she thought she would never see Chen Qingyuan again in her life. After all, Chen Qingyuan's career had risen higher and higher, and no one knew how long he would wander outside.

After a few breaths, Gongsun Nan quickly adjusted her mindset, wiped away the tears in her eyes, and strode towards the door.

They continued on their journey while simultaneously breaking various restrictions.

The thick fog dissipated, and there were no more obstacles.

Chen Qingyuan and An Xiruo both looked straight ahead and could see Gongsun Nan walking quickly towards them.

Upon reaching the door, Gongsun Nan prepared to bow.

The two people before her were beings standing at the very pinnacle of the world. Even though she knew Chen Qingyuan was not a man who could forget emotions, she still had to be mindful of her boundaries.

However, when she tried to bow, she found that her body was bound by a gentle force and she could not move.

"sister."

After gazing intently at the person before him, Chen Qingyuan did not adopt the arrogant demeanor of a Dao-proving monarch, but instead treated himself as a junior and bowed deeply.

Although An Xiruo remained silent, her actions were consistent and her attitude sincere.

"useless."

Gongsun Nan was flattered.

In previous years, the Azure Emperor's fame shook the heavens and the earth. Gongsun Nan sensed a familiar aura from it and had discussed the matter in detail with Sect Master Lin Changsheng. He was overjoyed, as it was highly likely that Chen Qingyuan was behind it.

At this very moment, two great emperors have personally arrived here and are bowing to him. He is shaken and filled with awe and fear.

In Gongsun Nan's view, her relationship with Chen Qingyuan wasn't quite that deep, like that of siblings. However, because of this form of address, Chen Qingyuan always treated her with great respect and never overstepped his bounds.

Furthermore, if it weren't for his connection with Chen Qingyuan, Gongsun Nan would never have reached the heights he has today.

"Your Excellencies need not do this; I cannot accept such treatment!"

The emperor's mind is unpredictable; how could Gongsun Nan dare to treat him casually?

Chen Qingyuan smiled and said, "Sister, you're being too polite. If even you can't handle it, then there are probably very few people in this world who can."

An Xiruo always respected Chen Qingyuan's friends and relatives, restrained her imperial authority, and remained silent with a smile.

These words were like a gentle spring rain, falling into Gongsun Nan's heart. The pattering water droplets touched the surface of the water, creating countless ripples that made her tremble and her eyes flicker.

"Sister, won't you invite us in for a bit?"

Then, Chen Qingyuan pointed to the location of the elegant residence.

Gongsun Nan's movements were slightly stiff as he stepped aside to greet him respectfully: "Please come in."

Enter and take a seat.

When distinguished guests arrive, Gongsun Nan naturally wants to entertain them wholeheartedly. She wanted to pour tea and water, but Chen Qingyuan stopped her: "Sister, we're family, there's no need to be so polite."

Gongsun Nan wanted to say something, but worried about saying the wrong thing, so he hesitated and said, "I..."

Although Chen Qingyuan was once a revered figure and the reincarnation of an ancient war god, Gongsun Nan, after some internal struggle, was able to control her emotions to some extent. As long as Chen Qingyuan's temperament remained unchanged, the two could still address each other as brother and sister.

Now that Chen Qingyuan has ascended the throne, Gongsun Nan is unable to remain calm and composed. He is very reserved and nervous, with mixed feelings in his heart.

For ordinary people, the emperor is of extraordinary significance.

This not only symbolizes a surge in strength, but also a change in power and status.

The reverence for the emperor is deeply imprinted in the souls of people.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult for Gongsun Nan to get himself back in shape in a short period of time; it is simply unrealistic.

"Sister, I brought you some medicinal herbs. You can study them when you have some free time."

Chen Qingyuan could see his sister's restraint. He maintained his smile on the surface, but sighed inwardly.

After saying that, he took out a Sumeru Ring and gently placed it on the table.

He casually removed the sealing restrictions from the ring.

Gongsun Nan was at a loss for words and quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you."

For the next half hour, Chen Qingyuan talked about some interesting things from the past.

As they chatted about light and pleasant topics, Gongsun Nan's tense nerves gradually relaxed. However, she still couldn't remain casual.

"Sister, please take care of yourself."

After they had finished talking, Chen Qingyuan said goodbye.

"You too."

Gongsun Nan sincerely hopes that Chen Qingyuan is doing well.

After Chen Qingyuan left, she was alone in Shengzhang Pavilion again.

Gazing at the distant scenery, she couldn't help but recall events from long ago. She had received guidance from the Sword Immortal Chang Geng and traveled to the Qing Sect, becoming a guest elder.

Later, Qingzong went through many ups and downs, but she stayed by his side and never had the thought of leaving.

As the Azure Sect prospered, her status naturally rose accordingly. Today, even the sect leader and the Sword Immortal Chang Geng treat her with great respect.

Although this was the result of her hard work and perseverance, without Chen Qingyuan's address of "elder sister," she would never have reached such a height; she would have been lucky to even obtain the title of an inner sect elder.

Her alchemy and medicine-making skills were not innate, but rather the result of extensive training by Qingzong and Chen Qingyuan.

"Qingyuan, you must stay safe."

In her heart, she always regarded Chen Qingyuan as family, and even as her only family in the world.

She wasn't deliberately distancing herself; it was just that Chen Qingyuan was in such a high position that she could never see his back, no matter how hard she tried. The more she cherished him, the more afraid she was of making mistakes, so she was very cautious and had to think carefully about every word she said and every action she took.

Chen Qingyuan understood Gongsun Nan's thoughts and didn't think that their sibling relationship had come to an end.

"Tomorrow, I will host a banquet for you all at Yuntai."

Chen Qingyuan had already discussed this matter with Lin Changsheng remotely, and since there were no problems, the message was relayed to the ears of the sect's higher-ups.

At that moment, all the high-ranking members of the sects who held a certain position heard Chen Qingyuan's voice.

This sound was not concealed by any spell, and anyone familiar with Chen Qingyuan could guess it.

The top leadership was immediately abuzz with excitement.
