Chapter 26: His aptitude is so-so. He is twenty years old this year and only a first-grade one. He has not even achieved a breakthrough in transcendence.
Fu Huaian thought about it and felt that what Her Majesty said made sense.
"Your Majesty, since that's the case, the marriage is off. You know, my Master's wife is already married…"
Ji Nan Yuan was puzzled, her eyes blinking gently.
"Master's wife?"
Fu Huaian looked at her and nodded.
Ji Nan Yuan's expression was strange as she scanned the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke softly.
"But I saw you an hour ago. You said Jin Yu is your Master's wife, do you think that's appropriate?"
Shen Jinyu was stunned, then her whole body trembled, and her face instantly turned completely red!
"Your Majesty, you… how could you do that!"
Shen Jinyu wished she could dig a hole and hide immediately. Was this something that could be seen!?
She complained in her heart, Her Majesty is too much!
Fu Huaian's old face also turned red.
Ji Nan Yuan secretly laughed in her heart, looking at the two of them, truly the world is degenerating…
"Your Majesty, actually, Jin Yu and I are truly in love. I was just joking when I said she was my Master's wife…"
Fu Huaian decided to struggle a bit.
Ji Nan Yuan was noncommittal and looked at Shen Jinyu.
"You should go home quickly."
After Ji Nan Yuan finished speaking, her figure flickered and she disappeared in an instant.
Shen Jinyu lowered her head, so embarrassed that tears almost fell.
Seeing Ji Nan Yuan leave at this moment, she angrily twisted the soft flesh on Fu Huaian's waist.
"I told you it wasn't appropriate in broad daylight in the wilderness, but you insisted! Qinghuan is also too much!"
What could Fu Huaian do? He could only endure it.
After this incident, his and his Master's wife's impression on Her Majesty's mind was probably quite worrying…
Fu Huaian had no choice but to step forward and hug Shen Jinyu, coaxing her for a long while before her mood calmed down a bit.
The two quickly left and returned to the forest where Pei Qinghuan was.
When the two appeared before them.
The gazes of the three of them all turned towards them, and Shen Jinyu, whose face had been somewhat calm, became flustered again.
Next time, she would never allow it!
Xu Qingyao looked at her nose and then at her heart, pretending not to understand anything.
Pei Qinghuan and Qin Fengwu's expressions were calm, secretly muttering to themselves, did it take that long?
Fu Huaian took two steps forward and looked at Pei Qinghuan.
"Master, Her Majesty just came. I met her."
Pei Qinghuan was stunned and asked in confusion:
"Why did she want to see you?"
Fu Huaian's face was awkward as he thought for a moment.
"Perhaps it was a coincidence meeting Master's wife. Master, what is Her Majesty's Realm?"
Pei Qinghuan thought for a moment and said:
"At least she should be in the Tai Xu Realm. When she seized the throne back then, her strength was at least at Transcendent Perfection. She saw you just now, but I didn't detect her, which would require at least the Tai Xu Realm."
Fu Huaian sighed inwardly, not expecting this Empress to be so formidable.
The group did not stay in the forest and began to resume their journey.
One day later.
The sun was setting in the west.
The group entered Ying City in Jiangzhou.
Shen Jinyu looked at this familiar magnificent city, her heart filled with complex emotions.
First, she had run away from her marriage, and then she was witnessed by Her Majesty doing such an embarrassing thing. Now that she was back, she felt that all the refinement and knowledge she had accumulated over twenty years had been lost…
Shen Jinyu sighed and softly led the way. The group arrived at the gate of the Shen Family, the Great Yan's foremost Family!
As a top aristocratic Family, the Shen Family's vermilion gate was wide and majestic. The two characters 'Shen Mansion' on the plaque were strong and neat, exuding an overwhelming sense of heritage and nobility.
At this moment, a middle-aged scholar was quietly standing in front of the gate.
He had a gentle smile on his face, a refined demeanor, and his plain green robe with wide sleeves gently swayed.
Shen Jinyu's face showed some unnaturalness as she lowered her head and moved with light steps to stand before him.
"Second Brother."
Shen Yuan smiled and did not blame his sister for secretly running away from the mansion to avoid her marriage, although it was difficult to explain to the Prince of Nanjin.
But if his own sister was unwilling, difficult to explain didn't mean impossible to explain.
The Shen Family even dared to show some displeasure to Her Majesty, so what was a Prince of Nanjin?
Dynasties change, one sings while another takes the stage, but the Shen Family has stood for a thousand years, its profound heritage unimaginable.
Moreover, recently he heard that the Prince of Nanjin's mischievous son was seriously injured by someone…
That marriage would definitely not happen. It was originally a spur-of-the-moment suggestion from Her Majesty, and Shen Yuan also felt that Jin Yu was indeed getting old, so he went with the flow to see if it could work out.
It was only in the communication stage and not completely settled. Now that the Young Master had this incident, the Shen Family naturally pushed back the marriage.
Shen Yuan had long resided in Ying City, managing Family affairs, while Shen Jinyu's elder brother, Shen Changxi, was currently the Grand Secretary in the capital.
Shen Yuan glanced at the people behind Shen Jinyu, his gaze lingering on Pei Qinghuan.
"Greetings, Taiyi Sword Master."
Pei Qinghuan nodded lightly. She had seen Shen Yuan with her father when she was young.
At that time, he was still a young scholar in his prime, but now he had shed all his sharpness and had a very gentle and mellow demeanor.
"Greetings, Family Head Shen."
Xu Qingyao blinked her big eyes, watching quietly. The Shen Family's great name, though Medicine God Valley was a mountain sect in Nanzhou, was often mentioned.
They should not be regarded as an ordinary Mortal Family.
Shen Yuan led the group through the Shen Family's gate, passing through corridors and buildings, until they arrived at a large clear lake where colorful carp swam happily.
Everyone sat in the pavilion by the lake.
Fu Huaian sat down and scanned the surroundings, nodding slightly. To have such a large lake within the Shen Family mansion in the city, this alone showed a glimpse of the Shen Family's financial and political power.
Other families, even if they had the financial means, would not dare to be so ostentatious.
Inside the pavilion, Shen Jinyu felt a little more at ease in her heart. It seemed her actions had not caused much resentment within the Family, and her second brother still cared for her.
Shen Yuan looked at Fu Huaian and smiled:
"Is this Young Master a Disciple of the Taiyi Sword Pool?"
Fu Huaian smiled and nodded.
"Yes, my Master is a Sword Master."
Fu Huaian had only been in the Taiyi Sword Pool for two and a half years, and Pei Qinghuan was still being secretive, so few outsiders knew of Fu Huaian's existence.
Shen Yuan looked at Pei Qinghuan in surprise.
"The matter of Pei Sword Master taking a Disciple is truly unheard of. Even as an ordinary person, I vaguely sensed that this Young Master is no Mortal. It seems Pei Sword Master has taken a Disciple with excellent Aptitude."
Pei Qinghuan was happier to hear someone praise her precious Disciple than to hear praise for herself.
"His Aptitude is so-so. He's twenty this year, only at First Grade, and hasn't even broken through to Transcendent Perfection."
Pei Qinghuan's words seemed understated, but the pride was evident.
Shen Yuan's expression became more serious, and his regard for Fu Huaian increased sharply!
Twenty years old and First Grade?
This was a rare Genius even on the mountain!
Normally, reaching the peak First Grade Realm of Jianghu martial artists before fifty years old meant a high probability of breaking through to Transcendent Perfection.
Fu Huaian's talent, even from Shen Yuan's perspective, was something he had never seen in his life.
It seemed that although the old Sword Master had undergone Tribulation and turned to ashes, with Fu Huaian, the Taiyi Sword Pool would not decline rapidly.
If he knew that Fu Huaian had only cultivated on the mountain for two and a half years, and had previously been blindly practicing martial arts on his own.
Even with Shen Yuan's composure, he would be greatly astonished!
Shen Jinyu's expression remained calm, but inwardly she was extremely satisfied. Huai'an was indeed the most outstanding.
