Gasp!

　　The color drained from Ye Qin’s face. He had asked that question to confirm his suspicion but he never expected this woman to have really come from the First City.

　　“Luan’er, this is the disaster you’ve brought!” Ye Qin shot Ye Luan an icy glare and his intonation no longer carried his usual loving nature.

　　Ye Luan’s expression changed greatly. She also never expected the little sl*t Gu Lan to have connections to a member of the First City.

　　Regardless, Ye Luan does not really see Gu Ruoyun as Xia Linyu’s sister.

　　After all, Xia Linyu had told her that he had come from a small family! More importantly, the two of them does not share the same surname. How could Gu Ruoyun possibly be his elder sister?

　　“Imperial Father, is it wrong for Sir Xia and I to love each other?” Ye Luan still refused to hand Xia Linyu over. She then bit her lips and turned her eyes towards Gu Ruoyun, “I don’t know why you’re protecting Gu Lan and would try to separate Sir Xia and me for her sake! We love each other so why can’t we be together? You’re tearing a loving couple apart, aren’t you afraid of gossip?”

　　“Young Lady,” Ye Qin sighed exasperatedly and turned towards Gu Ruoyun, “You’re a cultivator from the First City and the Dragon Moon Empire’s Princess is certainly not fit for someone of Sir Xia’s position. However, these two young ones are madly in love. Please, Young Lady, fulfill their wishes.”

　　At that moment, the ruckus in the Imperial Palace had attracted a crowd of curious citizens.

　　When the onlookers heard these words, they began to pity Ye Luan and they even viewed Gu Ruoyun’s attempt to separate the happy couple with contempt! However, no matter how angry they were, no one dared to show it.

　　If she could casually speak of destroying the Dragon Moon Empire, what about them, the average citizen?

　　“My little brother would never have such bad taste.” Gu Ruoyun glanced at the pale-faced Ye Luan. “He would not have fallen for this woman.”

　　Ye Luan was enraged by this insult. Gu Ruoyun’s words were the biggest humiliation to her.

　　That was because she does not believe that she was any worse off than that sl*t, Gu Lan.

　　What had Gu Ruoyun meant by that? What was she getting at by saying that Ye Luan does not match up to Xia Linyu’s tastes?

　　When Ye Qin heard this, he laughed and said, “Young Lady, We shall send someone to bring Sir Xia over. Whether he loves Luan’er or not, let him say it himself. If the two of them truly love each other, We ask that you let them go, Lady Gu.”

　　Gu Ruoyun nodded, “Alright. If Yu’er really has fallen for her, I will respect Yu’er’s decision. My only fear is that he’s under someone’s control and is not himself.”

　　Gu Ruoyun stared at Ye Luan for a very long time as she said this.

　　Ye Luan’s expression changed but she soon recovered. Her face curled into a cold smile.

　　No one can lift the Absolute Hypnotic Charm that Master has given me. Even if this woman is from the First City, she would be helpless in the face of the Absolute Hypnotic Charm.

　　Since that’s the case, why not let that woman, Gu Lan, reconcile herself with her loss and make her understand that Xia Linyu isn’t fit for just anyone!

　　“Men, bring Sir Xia over.”

　　Ye Qin’s eyes darkened as he commanded coldly.

　　A man joined his fists immediately upon receiving the order and quickly headed towards the rear palace.

　　Not too long after that, a guard quickly led a handsome and delicate-looking youth towards them. He soon appeared before everyone’s eyes.

　　Gu Lan stared at Xia Linyu who arrived with the guard. Her eyes reddened and she nearly burst into tears. She could only stare unblinkingly at the features that she had yearned for day and night.
