Chapter 2210 - 2210: The Zhuo Family’s Destruction 4
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Madame Zhuo departed with a sense of disappointment.
Everyone within the Yan Family was experiencing mixed emotions. Alongside their pride, they celebrated the fact that the Yan Family now boasted an inner sect disciple from the Supreme Sect.
Observing the Yan Family’s elation, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but feel a tinge of bitterness.
If only Yan Wuji hadn’t suffered that unfortunate injury, this joy would be unadulterated.
But…
Something had indeed befallen Yan Wuji.
Perhaps Gu Chaoyan should have withheld the truth for a while longer, but she had been unwilling to let the members of the Supreme Sect arrive and deliver a sudden shock to the Yan Family.
The situation within the Yan Family was far from ideal.
It was only right to prepare them in advance. That was the responsible thing to do.
“Chaoyan, what’s on your mind?” Madame Yan inquired, her tone teasing and her demeanor quite cheerful.
Madame Yan was a blunt and forthright person, a demeanor shaped by the hardships the Yan Family had endured. Now that things were finally looking up, her straightforwardness had only intensified.
Gu Chaoyan offered a smile but chose not to respond.
Madame Yan insisted that she join them and added with a grin, “For some reason, this year has been exceptionally favorable for the Yan Family. Yan Shuang has returned, two of our own have joined the Supreme Sect, and most importantly, Chaoyan, you’ve ascended to inner sect status so swiftly. There’s something else from the Supreme Sect that you haven’t had the chance to hear yet.”
More good news?
Gu Chaoyan gazed at Madame Yan, her confusion evident.
Had something else extraordinary transpired within the Yan Family since she and Yan Wuji had entered the Supreme Sect?
In fact, Madame Yan was feeling a bit self-conscious herself.
She announced, “I’m expecting again after so many years.”
“The Yan Family has only a few children, and I only have Wuji, which has been quite a stark situation. But after all these years, we’ve been blessed with another child. How unexpected!” Madame Yan’s joy was palpable.
What every family clan desired most was a flourishing lineage, which could bring them happiness.
A subconscious smile crossed Gu Chaoyan’s face.
Madame Yan was pregnant once more!
She glanced at the slightly protruding belly. It was truly a remarkable occurrence.
Moreover…
Having a child meant they still had hope for the future.
As for Wuji…
Hopefully, this news would alleviate their sorrow.
Gu Chaoyan’s thoughts raced.
“This is truly wonderful news!” Gu Chaoyan was so overjoyed that she struggled to find the right words.
As they continued their conversation, they reached the inner chamber of the Yan Family.
During the banquet, the Yan Family had centered their attention on Gu Chaoyan, who had just returned.
Yan Shuang and Yiqiu were both present, though the Old Master of the Yan Family was absent due to other commitments.
They felt like a close-knit family.
“Chaoyan, what brings you here? Is there some issue with the Supreme Sect?” Zhao Yiqiu inquired.
Traditionally, those who went to the sect rarely had the opportunity to return a few years later. And even if they did, it was usually just for a mission. Yet, nothing significant had transpired in the Shenyou Dynasty, so the Supreme Sect hadn’t dispatched any disciples here for missions.
Hence…
Zhao Yiqiu’s concern was quite justified.
Gu Chaoyan glanced at Yan Shuang and then at Madame Yan, nodding slightly..
