I raised stunning young ladies, but they all wanted to possess me.

Gu Yan turned her head to look.

An elderly man with gray hair walked over.

He was wearing a dark gray robe and his back was straight.

He had a lean face and sharp eyes.

Several people followed behind him, who appeared to be elders of the Pei family.

Pei Youyi bowed slightly upon seeing the newcomer.

"Elder Clan."

The elder nodded.

Then he looked at Pei Yuran.

"Yu Ran, I heard you're going to pick out some clothes?"

Pei Yuran nodded.

"Um."

The elder of the clan smiled.

"That's rare."

"This is the first time in all these years that you've chosen your own clothes."

He looked at the Zhongshan suit.

There was a two-second silence.

Then he opened his mouth.

Do you know the origin of this garment?

Pei Yuran shook her head.

The elder clan leader spoke slowly.

"This was worn by an ancestor of the Pei family eighty years ago."

"That ancestor was one of the strongest sword immortals in the history of the Pei family."

"He wore this outfit to a state banquet once."

"At that state banquet, in front of envoys from various countries, he broke Emilia's sword in two with a single stroke."

"From then on, Emilia never dared to underestimate Great Xia again."

"This garment represents the honor of the Pei family."

He looked at Pei Yuran.

"Yu Ran, are you sure you want this young friend to wear it?"

Pei Yuran nodded.

"Sure."

The elder looked at Gu Yan.

He looked at it for a few seconds.

Then he laughed.

"Gu Yan, the jewel of the empire."

"I have long admired your name."

Gu Yan quickly bowed.

"You're too kind, Elder."

The elder nodded.

"You're the first person who's let Yu Ran choose her own clothes."

He thought about it.

"How about this?"

"You can wear this."

"But there is one condition."

Pei Yuran looked at him.

"What are the conditions?"

The elder of the clan smiled.

"Young friend Gu must agree to visit the Pei family more often in the future."

"Keep an eye on Yu Ran."

Gu Yan was stunned.

These conditions...

He looked at the clan elder.

The elder of the clan also looked at him.

There was a smile in those old eyes.

There was also a hint of cunning.

Gu Yan suddenly understood.

This old man is trying to match him up with Pei Yuran.

He opened his mouth.

I want to refuse.

But I don't know how to refuse.

Since he was going to run away anyway, refusing would only make the Pei family more vigilant and more likely to alert them.

Pei Yuran looked at him.

Those icy blue eyes were filled with expectation.

He sighed.

"it is good."

"I agree."

The elder of the clan laughed.

"Then it's settled."

He waved.

"Put these on young friend Gu."

Several servants came over.

Holding the dress, he led Gu Yan to the dressing room.

Gu Yan walked into the dressing room.

Looking at that piece of clothing, I suddenly felt a little panicked.

This outfit has such a prestigious background.

If he wears this out, won't he get beaten up?

But no way.

If you agree, you have to wear it.

He changed his clothes.

Come out.

In the hall, everyone was looking at him.

then.

Everyone was stunned.

That dark black suit looked tailor-made on him.

The tailoring perfectly accentuated his slender figure.

The shoulders are straight and the waistline is just right.

The neckline was slightly open, revealing her delicate collarbone.

His face was already handsome, but now, with the clothes framing it, he looked even more strikingly beautiful.

Standing there, he looked like a noble young man who had stepped out of a painting.

Noble, aloof, yet with a hint of morbid fragility.

That contradictory beauty is captivating.

Pei Yuran looked at him.

Those icy blue eyes lit up for a moment.

It's very bright.

Pei Youyi was also looking at him.

A complex mix of emotions flashed in his eyes.

There was amazement, reluctance to leave, and a little bit more...

Something that can't be explained.

The elder of the clan laughed heartily.

"good!"

"The Imperial Jade, truly lives up to its name!"

"This outfit is meant for you!"

Gu Yan felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

He scratched his head.

"You flatter me, Elder."

The elder waved his hand.

"No flattery, no flattery."

He looked at Pei Yuran.

"Yu Ran, where are your clothes?"

Pei Yuran didn't say anything.

She turned and walked toward another display case.

Open the cabinet door.

Take out a piece of clothing.

Gu Yan looked over.

Then he froze.

It was a cheongsam.

The background is moon white, embroidered with delicate silver patterns.

The pattern is of blooming gladiolus flowers, each one lifelike.

The neckline is a classic plain collar, and the buttons are made of white jade, which is warm and smooth.

The skirt is very fitted, outlining a perfect figure.

The slit in the skirt isn't high, but it just reveals the calves.

The entire cheongsam is classic and elegant.

But it also exudes an indescribable sexiness.

Pei Yuran took the clothes and went into the dressing room.

She came out quickly.

Gu Yan was stunned again.

Pei Yuran stood in front of him, wearing that cheongsam.

The moon-white cheongsam made her skin appear even whiter.

The tight-fitting cut perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure.

Her two full breasts made her cheongsam bulge.

Her waist was slender and delicate, easily encircled by one hand.

Beneath the hem of her skirt, a section of her fair calves was visible.

Her ankles were slender, and she wore a pair of white high heels.

Standing there, she resembled a blooming gladiolus.

Aloof and exquisitely beautiful.

It also carries a deadly allure.

Gu Yan was stunned.

He felt his heart skip a beat.

Pei Yuran looked at him.

Those icy blue eyes remained calm.

But she spoke up.

"Is it pretty?"

The sound was very soft.

It's very light.

But Gu Yan sensed a hint of nervousness in her voice.

He nodded.

"nice."

He paused for a moment.

"It's so beautiful."

Pei Yuran's lips curved into a small smile.

The arc is very small.

But Gu Yan saw it.

A sudden impulse welled up inside him.

But he held back.

No.

The elder of the clan laughed heartily.

"good!"

"A perfect match, a match made in heaven!"

"This dress was worn by one of the wives of the Pei family's ancestors."

"That lady was the most beautiful woman in the Great Xia Dynasty at that time."

"She wore this dress when she accompanied our ancestor to a state banquet."

"It amazed everyone."

He looked at the two of them.

"Today, you two will wear these two outfits to the banquet."

"It will definitely amaze the audience."

Gu Yan's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

Stunning the audience?

Wouldn't that attract more attention?

What he fears most now is attracting attention.

He opened his mouth.

"Elder, this..."

The elder waved his hand.

"rest assured."

"Masks are allowed at banquets."

"Nobody recognizes him."

"Besides, with Yu Ran around, no one will dare to touch you."

Gu Yan wanted to say something more.

Pei Yuran had already walked over and taken his hand.

"Let's go."

He paused for a moment.

"It's time to go."

Gu Yan looked at her.

She was looking at him too.

Those icy blue eyes were as calm as a deep pool.

But Gu Yan saw hope in that.

He sighed.

"it is good."

The two walked outside.

Behind.

The elder clan leader watched their retreating figures and nodded faintly.

"Okay, okay."

"Yu Ran seems quiet and reserved most of the time, but she's extraordinary when she makes a move."

Pei Youyi stood to the side.

Watching her daughter walk away, holding Gu Yan's hand.

The complex emotions in my heart intensified.

But she didn't say anything.

He simply followed silently.
