CHAPTER 498: 498: YOUR BROTHER IS ACTUALLY GU QING

"Old Prince Gu sure knows how to play his cards right, mentoring and sponsoring you to become an Earl! He even arranged for you to marry that rascal. Your career is soaring, but your life must be quite eventful too!"

The man spoke as if he were dropping a bombshell.

Daring to jest about Elder Prince Gu.

Even daring to tease Li Yan’s marriage.

Truly commendable courage.

"It depends on the perspective. To my eyes, everything is good."

Li Yan spoke lightly.

Without any emotional fluctuation.

Ultimately, it depends on whose eyes you place these matters.

Different perspectives lead to different interpretations.

This is normal!

"Haha, if you truly think it’s good, then it is!"

The man shrugged, not feeling anything special about it.

His voice steady, he continued, "But fate likes to play tricks! Initially, you were my trainee! Now, you’ve become my brother-in-law!"

...

His words hung in the air.

Carried through the atmosphere to the driver and a deputy in the jeep, straining to hear the conversation outside.

They clearly captured that sentence.

But they were completely thunderstruck by it, inside and out.

Unable to utter a word...

Brother-in-law...

That means the lady’s brother...

Is Gu Wangjue’s eldest son...

This...

The two instantly lost their voices, coincidentally turning back to look at Gu Tong, who was massaging her temples!

It resembles!

They do resemble indeed...

Nose, eyes, mouth...

Practically carved from the same mold...

"Wait..."

An abrupt voice came from the deputy.

He couldn’t help thinking of something...

The Earl used to be his trainee...

Could it be, he is...

"Madam, your brother is actually Gu Qing..."

The deputy was already using the respectful "you" form.

Clearly, Gu Qing’s identity was extraordinary.

"Gu Qing, could it be that War God..." The driver inhaled sharply, the hair on his body already standing.

This Gu Qing surely was a legendary figure too!

Moreover, he was consistently talked about!

It’s rumored that this Gu Qing hailed from the Royal Family.

From an early age, he aspired to become a trainee.

At age six, he had already joined the Specialty Pavilion Academy in the children’s trainee team.

At thirteen, he underwent training at the Royal Academy!

By twenty, he became a special instructor at the Royal Academy.

And simultaneously participated in and executed missions, earning multiple honors!

At twenty-four, he returned to the local Pavilion Academy.

A year later, he was transferred.

However...

The location where Gu Qing was dispatched remained unknown!

To this day, it remains a mystery!

Some speculate.

Gu Qing had always been executing secret missions!

Hence, there was no trace of news!

However...

The actual truth no longer seemed to matter!

Because Gu Qing passed through five barriers, slayed six generals!

He had already thoroughly conquered external voices with his mighty skills, physical capabilities, artifact technique, and command ability!

Making people dare not doubt!

Actually...

Upon reflection.

When the Earl first displayed his capabilities!

In those days at the Pavilion Academy, some even called him little Gu Qing.

Many envisioned, in the future, he would also follow Gu Qing’s path...

However, as time passed to today.

Li Yan, through his efforts, completely shed the title of little Gu Qing!

Yet, fate, as it turns out, is incredibly ingenious...

Not a single family, yet entering through one family’s door.

The strong had already gathered into one family.

...

The other two in the car were lost in thought.

Gu Tong obviously was not as interested as they were...

In her mind, all she thought about was her unusual, eccentric, and hard-to-figure-out older brother...

Why did he stop the car...
