My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

What surprised Gu Lan, however, was that Lin Lu had managed to steady himself at this moment. Although he seemed a bit painful as he grumbled, his life surprisingly wasn't in great danger!

What's going on? Did that old guy just now go easy on him?

Gu Lan was puzzled. But for Lin Lu, this was also a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

"Brother Gu, I never expected it to be you looking for me!"

Lin Lu exclaimed in surprise after seeing Gu Lan's appearance. At this moment, everyone who knew them was avoiding the two of them like the plague. Unexpectedly, it was Gu Lan, whom Lin Lu had only met once, who actively sought him out.

"If I hadn't sought you, you wouldn't have encountered this disaster..." Gu Lan apologized with a smile, his gaze inadvertently shifting toward Lin Lu.

However, at this moment, the clear light in Gu Lan's eyes had not faded, and he unintentionally saw through Lin Lu's destiny and fortune!

[Destiny: Blue]

[Fate: Dependent on his sister in his early years, gentle and submissive. Later, due to his sister's death, his personality underwent a significant change, stepping onto the battlefield of the Western Region with an unresolved obsession for the rest of his life.]

!!!

This detailed explanation of destiny looked incredibly familiar?!

Wasn't it the character that had been spoiled by his wife in the previous period? Gu Lan's smile froze, and he was a bit dumbfounded!

No wonder, from the beginning, they had a good relationship. It turned out to be a character I really liked from the book... Gu Lan muttered in disbelief. He rose up due to his obsession, stepped into the battlefield of the Demon Realm, achieved the Emperor Realm step by step, became Jing Nation's famous cold-faced marshal, and even counter-attacked the demon clan...

This mythical figure from later generations.

This later-to-be powerful aid to the protagonist, the white-robed Confucian scholar.

Now, he was standing right in front of Gu Lan!

Lin Lu, later renamed Lu Qiuxian!

...

"Brother Gu?" Lin Lu wiped his somewhat embarrassed face, seeing Gu Lan staring at him in a daze, couldn't help but ask, "What is Brother Gu thinking?"

"Nothing... Let's go, first to the restaurant. This is not a place to talk," Gu Lan said softly. Then, supporting him, they walked into the original restaurant.

Old Yang had already drunk himself unconscious, lying on the table and snoring loudly.

Seeing this, Gu Lan shook his head and directly instructed the shop assistant, "Go upstairs and reserve a private room for me."

"Sure thing!" The shop assistant smiled.

When Lin Lu heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Brother Gu, there's no need to spend money on me. I can't stay here for long..."

He still wanted to try his luck elsewhere and see if he could borrow some money. Lin Lu knew that Gu Lan was wealthy. However, facing Gu Lan's clear and extremely warm-hearted gaze, combined with that ancient kindness that even worldly people felt ashamed of, he couldn't bring himself to ask for money.

He would rather go to a place with slim hopes and try again...

"Don't worry, let's talk about your sister first."

Gu Lan brought him to the private room and asked directly. This guy in front of him had no idea about the magnitude of his own destiny!

Even with just the initial blue-grade fortune, he was already stronger than himself, who had undergone a destiny-changing experience, and he was still just a mortal in terms of cultivation...

"My sister..." Lin Lu mentioned his sister, and his eyes turned red. He choked up, "My sister is now unconscious. The doctor said... If we can't buy enough Soul Grass, she may not wake up at any time..."

Since he could remember, Lin Lu had been raised by his sister. His sister had never spoken to him about anything related to his background.

She only urged him to study well and become an official in the court. When Lin Lu thought about the care his sister had given him in the past, he felt like his heart was being twisted, and tears streamed down his face.

Indeed, the obsession that becomes an enduring mystery in a man's life would inevitably lead to a significant change in personality and a destined strong emotional bond. Gu Lan sighed inwardly and asked, "How long has this illness been going on, and is there no sign of improvement during this period?"

Lin Lu shook his head, "Since this strange illness struck, my sister has been bedridden. I sold everything in our house to buy Soul Grass, brewed medicine every day, but it could only sustain her faint vitality..."

This was the most desperate situation. All the family wealth had been exhausted, yet there was still no hope in sight. This was why people who knew about it criticized his sister as a "bottomless pit" and refused to lend money.

"It's not sustainable for you to spend money like this... Take me to see her!" Unexpectedly, Gu Lan blurted out such a sentence.

Lin Lu was stunned, "I also know a bit of medicine. Maybe I can heal your sister." Gu Lan looked at him and smiled.

In fact, he wasn't just making empty promises to comfort Lin Lu.

Lu Qiuxian, as the name suggested, longed to seek immortality and Dao! This name was transformed from his unfulfilled obsession with not being able to save his sister. Since Lin Lu changed his name to this in the original work, it indicated that he might have realized that if he could have become an immortal or sought an immortal, perhaps... his sister wouldn't have died!

In Langzhou City, there were only mortal physicians.

They couldn't save his sister. But he had Daoist techniques!

Maybe he could really heal her! Just directly snatch the role of Lu Qiuxian, who would later become a strong supporter under the protagonist!

Lin Lu looked at Gu Lan with a complicated expression, nodded slowly after a long while, and said, "Thank you, Brother Gu... Then, please come with me."

Gu Lan offering his help was naturally appreciated by Lin Lu. However, the chance of curing the diseases that even the local physicians couldn't handle in Langzhou City was... very slim!

At this moment, Gu Lan went downstairs and kicked the drunken Old Yang. "Old Yang, wake up, we're leaving!"

Old Yang, in a daze, woke up and, after a moment of confusion, quickly picked up his luggage. "Young Master, are we going to the Chief Secretary now?"

"No, we're going to heal and save lives!" Gu Lan declared with determination, following Lin Lu out of the restaurant.

Old Yang remained in place for a while, completely misunderstanding Gu Lan's meaning. After realizing it, he quickly caught up with them.

In the restaurant, the remaining guests heard Gu Lan's words and shook their heads while looking at their departing figures.

"This young master doesn't believe in superstitions. Even the physicians can't cure these people. He actually wants to try?!"

"Ah! Making every possible effort!"

"Our renowned Doctor Sun is helpless, and he, an outsider, thinks he can cure that strange illness. There must be something wrong with him!"

"Sigh, it's a pity for that girl from the Lin family. I've seen her appearance before, and she's really beautiful..."

...

At this moment, beneath the Heavenly Machine Mountain!

On a flat ground built with pure white jade, many distinguished cultivators were present, looking toward the verdant Heavenly Machine Mountain and the mist-shrouded Tianji Pavilion on the mountaintop. These were important figures from various royal dynasties, forces, and even prestigious families.

Among them, the lowest cultivation level was at the Origin Realm. Their gazes were all eager!

When looked upon, two figures wearing white veils were quietly standing, also gazing toward the mountain, waiting for the right moment for Tianji Pavilion to open its gates to outside guests.

These two women were naturally Mu Yuyan and Liu Yexi.

Although wearing veils, Mu Yuyan's peerless female Emperor temperament was still irresistible. With bright eyes and white teeth, her eyebrows were as distant as the horizon, resembling an otherworldly fairy. Many male cultivators around couldn't help but secretly glance at her.

However, feeling her Sword Immortal aura, they quickly abandoned any thoughts of striking up a conversation. Time passed slowly as everyone patiently waited.

However, at this moment!

A apprentice descended from the Tianji Mountain, holding an announcement in his hands. He glanced at the distinguished figures from various forces and indifferently said, "Everyone! The Pavilion Master closed for alchemy yesterday. From now on, Tianji Pavilion will only receive ten guests on this day each month. If you can't wait, you are free to leave now!"
