I am an incredibly handsome man, and my fiancée refuses to call off the engagement even at the cost

Gu Yan retracted her Wind and Thunder Wings and landed at the highest point of the ship. Beautiful maids, dancers, and musicians all looked over, their eyes fixed on Gu Yan, revealing expressions of amazement.

Dugu Xun waved his hand, dismissing all of them.

"Thank you for your help, Senior Dugu!" Gu Yan cupped her hands in thanks to Dugu Xun.

Dugu Xun looked him up and down, his purple eyes smiling. "Du Fu? When did Zirong change his name?"

Gu Yan gave a wry smile: "I can't exactly reveal my family background, can I?"

Dugu Xun walked down with a smile: "How did you get involved with Yu Ji?"

"I just washed my face by the river, and she saw me, so she started bothering me," Gu Yan said, his tone quite innocent.

Dugu Xun burst into laughter: "The lecherous Li Bai being teased and flirted with by a woman, hahahahahaha, interesting, interesting, hahahahahaha..."

Gu Yan froze, looking awkwardly at Dugu Xun in front of him: "Senior, how did you know?" He hadn't seen him since he last met him in his hometown. How did he know that he was Li Bai?

A playful glint flashed in Dugu Xun's purple eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Guess."

Gu Yan: "..."

Is this guy still tracking and monitoring me?

Seeing Gu Yan's bewildered expression, Dugu Xun seemed even more pleased.

He stared at Gu Yan intently for a long time, his sharp gaze, as if trying to see right through her, gradually made Gu Yan's expression stiffen.

What's this guy trying to do?

Dugu Xun didn't do anything; he simply said, "Eighteen years old, late-stage Spirit King Realm cultivation. If this gets out, the entire Yunlan Realm will treat you like a monster. Countless old guys will crawl out, grab you, torture you severely, extract your soul and refine your spirit, all to force you to reveal your secrets."

Gu Yan felt a chill run down his spine. If that scene were to occur, he would have no choice but to release Umir. At worst, they would both die.

He looked at Dugu Xun and asked, "What about Senior Dugu?"

Dugu Xun gazed at his flawless face and said with a smile, "I am also very interested in Zi Rong's secret, but I'm afraid that torturing such a beauty like Zi Rong and extracting her soul would incur divine retribution, so let's forget about it." Dugu Xun turned and took a few steps, then turned back to look at Gu Yan and smiled.

Gu Yan: "..."

Should he be happy to hear him say that?

Dugu Xun sat back down in his seat and looked at Gu Yan seriously, saying, "Don't mention your real age to anyone in the future."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yan bowed to him and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Dugu."

Gu Yan was a little curious that Dugu Xun didn't suspect that she had possessed someone else's body. Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn't heard anyone mention the art of possession since coming to Yunlan Realm. Could it be that the spiritual masters here don't know how to possess others?

"Please sit down!" Dugu Xun smiled and gestured for him to sit.

Gu Yan then sat down at a jade table to his left.

"I've heard rumors that you kidnapped Tan Yue and used her to replenish your energy for two months. Is that true? Do you need me to send you a few beautiful cauldrons?" Dugu Xun teased Gu Yan.

Gu Yan immediately explained, "Of course it's fake. How could I possibly practice any kind of sexual cultivation technique? It was Tan Yue who insisted that I slept with his wife, so I just taught him a lesson."

Dugu Xun smiled and said, "Didn't you admit it in front of everyone?"

Admit it? Admit what?

Gu Yan remembered what he had said and quickly said, "I was so angry that I spoke without thinking, and who knew everyone would take it seriously. I'm really innocent. I have nothing to do with his wife, his son, his daughter-in-law, or his granddaughter."

Dugu Xun asked curiously, "Then what did you do with Tan Yue for two months?"

Gu Yan: "...I...I only took a little bit of his essence blood."

After Gu Yan finished speaking, she noticed that Dugu Xun's gaze had changed, so she immediately asked herself to explain, "Senior, it's not what you think. I just felt that his physique was special, so I did some research on it. It wasn't that kind of research. I've never practiced any kind of cultivation method, nor have I practiced any kind of blood-fiend blood-refining evil and wicked techniques."

"I'm a respectable person!!"

Dugu Xun laughed and picked up a cup of wine: "Kidnapping people for blood, a decent person, alright, you're a decent person, hahahaha..."

Gu Yan: "Senior..."

He wanted to explain a few more words, but Dugu Xun interrupted him: "Senior? That's too formal."

"Then what should I call you? Mr. Dugu?"

Dugu Xun stared at him with dissatisfaction.

Gu Yan: "The head of the Dugu family?"

Dugu Xun was still staring at him, looking dissatisfied.

Gu Yan forced a smile. So what should she call out?

Dugu Xun looked at him, chuckled, and said, "I'm only a little over a thousand years older than you, so just call me... call me elder brother!"

Brother?

Gu Yan's eye twitched. What... what does this mean?

"What? Zirong, do you think I'm not worthy of being your elder brother?" Dugu Xun's expression turned cold, and a sharp glint flashed in his deep purple eyes. He released the aura of a late-stage Spirit Emperor, and the atmosphere here changed instantly.

Gu Yan didn't want to upset him over a form of address. This guy was over a thousand years old, while Gu Yan's two lifetimes combined were only a little over six hundred. He was indeed older than Gu Yan, so being called "brother" was fine. It wouldn't hurt him to call him that anyway.

"Brother, you misunderstand. Zirong is just a little flattered," Gu Yan said.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Xun immediately burst into laughter: "It is my honor to be Zirong's elder brother. Men, bring more wine and begin the feast!"

Dugu Xun clapped his hands, and the beautiful dancers and maids who had just left entered. The musicians also filed in and began to play their music again, and the beautiful dancers began to dance to the tunes. The maids carried fine wine and delicacies and placed them on the jade table in front of Gu Yan and Dugu Xun.

"Please, young master!"

The charming maidservant offered her a drink, and upon glancing at Gu Yan's exceptionally handsome face, her cheeks flushed and her heart pounded wildly.

When Dugu Xun invited guests to drink and make merry, it was normal for the maids to offer them drinks and serve them. When they saw Gu Yan, who was as beautiful as an immortal, they all acted very attentive.

Gu Yan simply smiled at them, which made the maids blush with embarrassment.

Dugu Xun saw all this and said with a smile, "Zirong is really popular. You've only just arrived, and they've already forgotten about me, their host."

Upon hearing this, the maids were all chilled to the bone, thinking that their overly attentive attitude had displeased Dugu Xun. In fact, Dugu Xun was indeed a little annoyed. These vile women dared to seduce Zi Rong right in front of him and even dared to touch her inappropriately. Even he had restrained himself and kept to his dignity, yet they had actually made a move on him.

The maids turned pale and immediately knelt down, while Gu Yan's expression froze.

Dugu Xun laughed and said, "What are you all doing? I was just saying it casually, and you all knelt down to beg for forgiveness. Anyone who didn't know better would think I was some kind of fierce and evil demon."

Gu Yan: "..."

Aren't you one? You demon of the zither! Aren't you the one being described?
