Chapter 140 If only it were my cousin!
"You...aren't you on the Miro Continent? How did you cross the Endless Sea alone? And so quickly?" Jiang Shuo couldn't believe that a mere early-stage Spirit Venerable could cross the Endless Sea alone to reach the Jade Wave Continent.
Auntie was brought back only a little over a year ago. How long has it been since he crossed the Endless Sea?
This...this is impossible, absolutely impossible, yet he is already standing alive right in front of me.
And another thing, he's only a little over 1200 years old at most, yet he's already at the early stage of Spirit Venerable! My god! What a monster!!
Gu Yan smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't come alone. I had two companions with me. There was a little problem in the middle, and I was teleported here by a teleportation array. Anyway, it's quite a long story."
When Jiang Shuo saw Gu Yan smile, she was as pure and flawless as a goddess of the moon, and his heart suddenly pounded wildly.
That smile was just too beautiful. He looked Gu Yan up and down, and the more he looked, the more perfect he seemed. Even his hair was perfect. He... he was his cousin...
"You're my aunt's son, so you're my cousin," Jiang Shuo said, feeling a deep regret. Why wasn't she my cousin?
If only it were my cousin!!
The Tianyang royal family is very xenophobic, and all marriages are within the same clan.
It's common practice for older cousins to marry younger cousins, and younger cousins to marry older cousins. If the young man in front of her is her younger cousin, she's very likely his Daoist partner.
Gu Yan had no idea what Jiang Shuo was thinking. He bowed deeply to Jiang Shuo and said earnestly, "Greetings, cousin!"
Jiang Shuo looked into Gu Yan's emerald-like eyes, so clear, like a clear lake reflecting his own image, and his heart skipped a beat.
Why isn't it my cousin?!
Now that's great! If he goes home, Jiang Yuan, Jiang Qi, and Jiang Xue will be ecstatic. They might even start fighting over this handsome cousin.
No, a fight is absolutely inevitable.
"Cousin, no, no need to be so polite." Jiang Shuo didn't dare to look Gu Yan in the eye, but he was just too handsome. He looked away for only two seconds before he couldn't help but look at Gu Yan again.
"Cousin, how are my parents now?" Gu Yan asked the question that concerned her the most.
"Auntie is fine, just her movements are restricted. As for your father, he's still in prison." Seeing the worry on Gu Yan's face, Jiang Shuo quickly added:
"Don't worry, he's fine. Although the prison isn't a good place, your father's life isn't in danger, and Grandfather doesn't plan to kill him. Come home with me. If Grandfather and Grandmother see you, they might be so happy that they'll release your father."
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Okay."
Jiang Shuo raised his hand, and suddenly a huge golden crow appeared in the sky. The golden crow spread its wings and transformed into a huge golden magic array. The eye of the array was the huge golden crow, and the surrounding area was a totem like flames. The array was like a huge sun totem.
Gu Yan watched as a giant ship emerged from the sun totem. On the magnificent sun ship stood many guards wearing golden armor. These were all experts from the Tianyang Empire and Jiang Shuo's subordinates.
Jiang Shuo led Gu Yan onto the ship.
Everyone on the boat looked at Gu Yan with amazement.
What a handsome young man!
Who is this young man?
This is so beautiful! How can there be such a beautiful person in the world?
A beautiful woman dressed in golden armor and a red robe stepped forward and bowed to Jiang Shuo: "Your Highness Prince Jing!"
After bowing, the woman looked at Gu Yan beside her, equally astonished by Gu Yan's appearance and demeanor.
"This is my head guard, Lan Xin," Jiang Shuo said to Gu Yan with a smile.
Gu Yan looked at the woman called Lan Xin. This woman possessed a rare treasure that concealed her true cultivation level, and Gu Yan could not see through her strength.
When Lan Xin and Gu Yan met eyes, Lan Xin's heart began to pound uncontrollably.
She was also curious about the boy's identity.
"Lan Xin, this is my cousin, my aunt's son," Jiang Shuo said with a smile.
His Highness's cousin?
The son of Prince Jing's aunt, the son of the Eldest Princess?! He is the Eldest Princess's son!!
Everyone looked shocked. Wasn't he on the Miro Continent? Didn't the Emperor Emeritus not bring him here? How did he get here on his own? No, no, how did he cross the Endless Sea in such a short time?
Furthermore, the Eldest Princess eloped with Li Yuan only a little over 1,200 years ago. Even if the Eldest Princess was pregnant at that time, this young man would only be a little over 1,200 years old, yet he has already reached the early stage of the Spirit Venerable realm. What kind of freak is this?!
Everyone on the ship was shocked.
They stared at Gu Yan, their jaws practically dropping in astonishment.
With an otherworldly appearance and terrifying talent, this... this is the eldest princess's son? A monster!!
After being shocked, Lan Xin bowed to Gu Yan.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Jiang Shuo smiled and said to Gu Yan:
"Do you expect other people to see what you look like?"
He suddenly put his arm around Gu Yan's shoulder. Gu Yan was not used to such intimate behavior, but he was her cousin, and Gu Yan wanted to ask him to take her to the Tianyang Empire to see his maternal grandfather. Gu Yan could only force a smile.
Jiang Shuo put his arm around Gu Yan's shoulder and said with a smile, "Come, come, cousin, let your cousin show you around. Men, prepare a feast!"

"Father, Mother, please let me see Li Yuan!" Jiang Shunhua knelt in front of the Temple of the Sun, where she had been kneeling for a long time.
However, there was no sound coming from inside the temple.
Jiang Shunhua intended to kneel there forever, but as she knelt, a figure with an entourage approached her.
He was a handsome and dignified middle-aged man dressed in a golden robe. His appearance was somewhat similar to Jiang Shunhua's, but he was unsmiling and seemed to have nothing in the world that could move him.
His aura was as fiery and immense as the blazing sun, with golden marks occasionally appearing on his light brown skin, and a halo like the sun floating behind him.
People around him immediately bowed when they saw him.
This person is none other than Jiang Huan, the current emperor of the Tianyang Empire, who is also Jiang Shunhua's elder brother.
Jiang Huan looked at his younger sister coldly and said, "Father and Mother will not see you. You should leave!"
Jiang Shunhua glanced at her brother, remained silent, and continued kneeling.
Jiang Huan said:
"Your son has come to the Jade Wave Continent."
"What?"
Jiang Shunhua couldn't believe it.
"I can't believe it either, but Ashuo has already brought him back. Ashuo wouldn't say such things carelessly. I'm also curious how he crossed the Endless Sea."
Jiang Huan glanced at Jiang Shunhua, whose expression had changed drastically, and continued, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to your son. However, if the children want to fight, I can't interfere."
The Tianyang royal family is xenophobic, and other members of the royal family reject Gu Yan, who is only half Jiang family blood. Knowing that Gu Yan has returned with Jiang Shuo, the princesses, princes, and grandsons of the Tianyang royal family all want to give Gu Yan a hard time.
