"My Queen, what brings you here?"
Chu Kuangren looked at Gu Linglong and smiled faintly.
"I've stepped down as the Qingyun Ruler."
Gu Linglong's very first words left Chu Kuangren a little startled. Then he frowned and asked, "Did they force you?"
Chu Kuangren's tone turned somewhat cold.
The whole world was his enemy now, and Gu Linglong was his wife. It was not impossible that the people of the Qingyun Dynasty would seize the opportunity to force her to abdicate. After all, plenty of people had their eyes on the throne.
"No, I abdicated of my own accord."
Gu Linglong smiled faintly. "I wanted to come and be with you."
"I see. Why don't you stay, then? You can live in the Mystic Heaven Sect from now on. How does being the Sect Leader's wife sound? It might not sound as imposing as Her Majesty the Empress, but it shouldn't be too far behind."
Chu Kuangren stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"But will there be a future?" Gu Linglong asked. Like everyone else, she felt that the Mystic Heaven Sect was probably in grave danger this time.
"Of course. Never mind all the storms raging outside, or how hard they say life is for the Mystic Heaven Sect. Let me tell you, I've been eating well and sleeping soundly these past few days. Can a little trouble really overturn the heavens?"
Chu Kuangren smiled, confidence in his eyes.
"Heh." Gu Linglong could not help chuckling either. "Who knows how furious those Daoist Traditions would be if they heard you say that."
Chu Kuangren chatted and laughed with Gu Linglong.
He was certainly enjoying his leisure here.
Outside, however, just as he had said, the world really had been turned upside down.
