Chapter 2735: Chapter 2735: Do You Understand What I Mean?
Considering Gong Cheng’s lively nature, if he returns to the capital, stays with his parents as a minor official, and does the same thing every day, he’d probably go crazy, wouldn’t he?
But it’s different at Huayan Peak. There, Gong Cheng can do so much more.
Moreover, he even has the chance to go to Wulong Mountain. By then, if Gong Jian also enters Wulong Mountain, the two brothers will not only have each other to rely on but can also strive to create their own world together.
"I... I..."
Lady Gong stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.
What could she say? She could eloquently express before the Empress that she’s only thinking of her child, just wanting Cheng’er to marry and have children, leaving a son and daughter for the Gong family.
But in front of Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue, she couldn’t say that. Although not impossible, she knew these two would not listen to her complaints.
"Prince Zhan, Prince An Yang, isn’t this... I’m just worried, Cheng’er is getting older, it’s about time he should find a wife, he..."
"He knows well enough about his own life’s major issues," Qian Jiyun directly interrupted Lady Gong’s words.
In his view, Gong Cheng is still quite young, not yet at the point where he must marry and have children. When he arrives at Wulong Mountain, can’t he find a woman he truly likes?
"Lady Gong."
An Jiuyue rested her chin in one hand, smiling as she looked at her.
"At Wulong Mountain, men in their forties and fifties who haven’t married or had children are dime a dozen, do you know why?" she asked softly.
"Wh... why?"
Lady Gong followed up An Jiuyue’s words with a question.
How could she know why? She hadn’t been to Wulong Mountain.
"Because those who enter Wulong Mountain have extended lifespans. Their forties and fifties are little different from seventeen or eighteen in the Daqing Kingdom, so why should they rush to marry?
Finding a wife who truly draws the eye is not an easy task. At Wulong Mountain, nobody would settle for less by hastily marrying a woman they have never met.
Lady Gong, do you understand the meaning behind my words?"
An Jiuyue asked her, hinting at something deeper, and she had been so obvious about it. Surely, Lady Gong couldn’t still be oblivious?
"Huh?"
Lady Gong stared blankly at An Jiuyue.
Yet, she truly didn’t understand. What did everything at Wulong Mountain have to do with her or her son?
"But Cheng’er is at Huayan Peak. He’ll have to come back eventually. If he waits until he’s much older, which girl would want to marry him then?"
An Jiuyue: "..."
Was everything she had just said akin to playing music to a cow?
"Lady Gong, you..."
"Prince Zhan, Lord Prince An Yang, your presence truly honors us, and I apologize for not welcoming you sooner." Before she could say more, Lord Gong’s voice came from outside. Turning their heads, they saw Lord Gong stride in with a displeased expression.
Could he look pleased? He had heard Prince An Yang’s words outside moments ago. He believed that anyone with sense could understand the implications of Prince An Yang’s words.
The implication was that in the future, his lively and straightforward son would have a great opportunity to follow Prince An Yang to Wulong Mountain.
Wulong Mountain is not like Huayan Peak, where one must return to the planes after reaching a certain cultivation level. Wulong Mountain is a place where one can stay indefinitely. How could one not seize such a great opportunity?
