The next morning.
After taking control of Long Zaitian, Gu Yan headed to visit a certain original female supporting character whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
Jianghai Hospital.
In a private ward.
Wang Yulan was waiting for the results of her final medical checkup of the day. If everything was fine, she would be able to check out and leave the hospital today.
As she waited, the door to the ward was pushed open.
"Tao Ying, why are you here again... huh?!"
Wang Yulan instinctively thought it was Tao Ying again, trying to persuade her to join the Peach Blossom Society.
But to her surprise, it was someone she hadn't expected to see.
"Good morning, Sister Yulan. How's your health lately?"
Gu Yan pushed the door open and walked in, carrying a basket of fruit.
He placed the fruit on a table beside the bed and then sat down in the visitor's chair, his face bright with a smile.
Wang Yulan had thought that after so long without seeing Gu Yan, she wouldn't feel so drawn to him anymore.
But to her surprise, when she saw him again, she still felt extremely nervous and flustered.
She quickly hid under the covers, only revealing her blushing face. Her hands clutched the blanket as she nervously glanced at Gu Yan and nodded, "Mm-hmm."
Oh no, why am I so nervous?
Gu Yan managed to visit me once with great difficulty, so I should talk more.
However, I must look very haggard right now. I wonder if I look very ugly...
Gu Yan smiled slightly upon seeing this and took out a report, placing it beside the bed: "It's good that there's nothing wrong. I already checked the report before I came."
"It's good that you're fine. I've already seen the report before coming here."
"Sister Yulan, your body has fully recovered and you can be discharged. Congratulations."
With that, Gu Yan's face showed a hint of apology. "I'm sorry I haven't come to see you before. I've been too busy, and I couldn't find the time until today."
So that's how it is. You're all so busy yet still come to visit me.
Wang Yulan was deeply touched. She quickly shook her head. "No! It's fine! I don't mind at all! In fact, I should be the one thanking you, Gu Yan!"
"You're just a student of my mother, yet you arranged for my hospitalization and even paid for my medical expenses..."
As she spoke, her voice grew softer, but when she mentioned the medical fees, she looked at Gu Yan with great seriousness. "I will definitely repay you for the medical fees! You've helped me so much, and if I still let you pay for the fees, I wouldn't know how to face you. Please give me some time, and I will definitely repay you!"
Gu Yan's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and his expression also appropriately revealed a touch of emotion.
He shook his head. "It's fine, Sister Yulan. I'm really touched that you would say that, but..."
Gu Yan took a deep breath and smiled sincerely. "Your mother was my mentor. I'm doing this not for you, Sister Yulan, but to repay my teacher. So please, don't feel any burden."
"But... this..."
Wang Yulan was a bit anxious because she suspected that Gu Yan might be the mysterious person who paid for her mother's medical expenses.
If that were the case, she really wouldn't know how to repay Gu Yan.
But before she could ask, the next moment, a figure pushed the door open, accompanied by a lively voice.
"Good morning, Sister Yulan~ I'm here to see you~"
"Oh, and who's this guy?"
Tao Ying, dressed in a pink overcoat, walked in. Today, she had come to give Wang Yulan one last chance.
If Wang Yulan still refused to join the Peach Blossom Society, then she would have to resort to the Society's most common tactic.
However, as soon as she entered, she saw Wang Yulan hiding under the covers, and beside her stood a man she hadn't seen before.
Huh? This guy is really handsome... Could he be Wang Yulan's boyfriend? I've never heard her mention him before.
Tao Ying walked over without showing any change in expression. It's fine; I'm currently playing the role of a lively and energetic person.
"Tao Ying, you're here..."
Wang Yulan was a bit hesitant to introduce Tao Ying to Gu Yan, as the latter often spoke nonsense and seemed a bit like a scammer.
Tao Ying nodded and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Yes, but I didn't expect someone to arrive before me."
I only came so early because I was in a hurry to see Wang Yulan.
But someone arrived even earlier than me? Could he really be Wang Yulan's boyfriend?
Or is it someone from another faction who also has their eyes on Wang Yulan?
Tao Ying subtly sensed Gu Yan's presence and found that she couldn't detect any aura from him.
Immediately, she relaxed her guard. After all, she was a martial artist at the initial stage of innate cultivation, and she didn't believe that someone of Gu Yan's age could have a higher cultivation level than hers.
Gu Yan glanced at Tao Ying and immediately received information about her in his mind.
The granddaughter of the master of the Peach Blossom Society - Tao Ying, possesses early innate cultivation. In the original work, to facilitate Wang Yulan's joining of the Peach Blossom Society, her mother was killed one night through a scheme, causing Wang Yulan to lose her loved one and choose to join the Peach Blossom Society in order to grow stronger and find the culprit.
Oh, so it's already reached this point in the plot. No wonder I've been waiting for so long.
Gu Yan inwardly smiled and then looked at Tao Ying. "Are you a friend of Sister Yulan, Miss Tao Ying?"
"Sister Yulan?"
"Yes, aren't you two in a romantic relationship?"
Tao Ying was a bit surprised. Siblings? But no matter how you look at it, their auras don't seem like siblings.
"No... Gu Yan is a student of my mother. We've received a lot of help from him.
"We could be considered siblings."
Wang Yulan quickly explained, afraid that Gu Yan would be upset if Tao Ying thought they were a couple.
Afterward, she cautiously glanced at Gu Yan, relieved to see that he didn't react.
Tao Ying nodded. "Oh, I see. That's fine then!"
Then, she looked at Gu Yan with interest. "Hey, handsome guy, you're really good-looking! Would you like to date me?"
Hehe, to be honest, it's been a long time since I've met such a handsome guy. He looks very strong; if I could absorb his yang energy, maybe my cultivation would improve even further!
Wang Yulan was startled when she heard this. She was about to refuse, but then she scolded herself for being an idiot.
What right do I have to refuse on Gu Yan's behalf?
Thinking of this, she nervously looked at Gu Yan, afraid that he might actually agree.
Fortunately, Gu Yan shook his head. "I decline."
Wang Yulan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief and gave a mental thumbs up. Well done, Gu Yan, you resisted the temptation of beauty!!
However, Tao Ying loved nothing more than these seemingly upright men. "Why, handsome guy? My figure is great, and I know how to be cute and coquettish with you~"
As she spoke, she reached out to hug Gu Yan's arm.
But unexpectedly,
Bang! A crisp sound echoed in the ward.
Gu Yan slapped away Tao Ying's outstretched hand and looked at her with a kind expression. "I'm sorry, Miss Tao, but I'm already married."
"And furthermore..."
Gu Yan's expression gradually turned cold, his smile devoid of warmth. "I dislike women who are so frivolous."

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining.

"By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
