Shen Ningyu wore a confident and proud expression on her face.
Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but think that this woman was beyond hope. She acted as if being married to Qian Ziang was the greatest joy in the world. She seemed to have completely disregarded what Shen Lianxue had said earlier and didn’t care that Shen Lianxue wanted nothing to do with a greedy person like Qian Ziang.
Gu Chaoyan shook her head slightly.
Dealing with such a brainless person was not worth her time.
So, Gu Chaoyan waited quietly.
Once the clan elders were ready, they all set off for the palace together.

To her credit, Shen Ningyu didn’t throw a tantrum about the arrangement. It was clear that there was a great deal of formality and etiquette in the interactions between the elders and juniors of the Shen family.
Gu Chaoyan had no objections either way.
She simply got into the carriage.
However, the moment Shen Ningyu entered, she immediately began to look at Gu Chaoyan with disdain. She prattled on about how familiar she was with court affairs, warning Gu Chaoyan not to cause any trouble in the palace and proudly mentioning her connection with Qian Ziang.
Gu Chaoyan couldn’t fathom what she was so proud of.
Fortunately, their arrival at the palace was imminent.
Otherwise, she might have been driven to annoyance.
Shen Ningyu, as an elder miss who had been pampered for a long time, had a good-natured temperament and was incredibly self-centered.
Once they disembarked from the carriage, Gu Chaoyan purposefully kept her distance from Shen Ningyu.
Shen Ningyu didn’t continue her nagging. Instead, she adopted the demeanor of Elder Miss Shen, radiating an air of pride as she walked with her head held high.
Gu Chaoyan obediently followed the clan elders.
As they approached the palace’s entrance, there was still quite a distance to cover. The two clan elders walked side by side, and it was natural for them to engage in conversation.
“Recently, the Emperor has been allowing these young members of our family into the palace quite frequently. Could it be that Chengqi Country is becoming restless again? Is there too much friction at the border?” one elder speculated.
“It’s possible. Otherwise, why would they be sending our young members into the palace so often? We all know that if Southern Mist and Chengqi cto blows, relying solely on burly soldiers and commoners won’t be enough. We’ll still need these young ones with cultivation. Any family that can produce juniors with high cultivation is likely to be given important positions. With just Lianxue and Ningyu, the Shen family should certainly be in a favorable position,” the other elder replied.
“That’s a good thing,” the first elder remarked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two elders shared a similar smile and appeared to be in good spirits.
They were the clan’s elders, and regardless of which branch’s junior succeeded, it would ultimately benefit the entire clan.
The Shen family had been in a difficult situation, and they hadn’t anticipated that the stalemate would be resolved so swiftly. Now that Ningyu was engaged to the Qian family’s young master, it was indeed a cause for celebration among the clan’s elders.
The elders of the Shen family clan were in high spirits.
As Gu Chaoyan carefully listened to their conversation, she seemed to be contemplating something.
Indeed, in this continent where spiritual energy was scarce, most people lacked the innate talent to cultivate. However, these noble families possessed cultivation because they had access to resources. These resources naturally enabled the young members of the family to cultivate.
Ordinary people didn’t have access to such resources, which is why they lacked the ability to cultivate.
This was precisely why everyone sought to maintain their status within the Southern Mist Kingdom and secure favor with the Emperor.
Well…
A clan competition was imminent, and it was considered a fair opportunity for the juniors..
