Chapter 683: Chapter 683 A Guarantee

Listening to Zhong Niangyao’s question, Nolan Chenyu was startled inside but remained calm on the exterior, "The reason I sought to marry Han An is naturally because I liked her. She’s a very good girl, and it’s quite normal that I fell for her."

"Oh, is that so?" Zhong Niangyao nodded, "Since that’s the case, I can truly be at ease."

"Although Han An and I have now severed all ties of gratitude and duty, no matter what, she had been my disciple for many years, and I do hope that she can be happy. Therefore, I think I still need to provide her with some assurance."

Nolan Chenyu hadn’t had time to figure out what was going on when Zhong Niangyao’s next words almost made him spit blood in anger.

Zhong Niangyao turned her head to look at Nolan Deye and said, "Your Majesty, since Prince Yu just said that when he initially sought to marry Han An, it was out of genuine affection without any ulterior motives, I believe her. Even though the bonds between teacher and student are now broken, we were, after all, teacher and student for so many years. Hence, I hope to ask for a favor for her."

"Just say it, State Preceptor," Nolan Deye quickly responded, "You have contributed so much to Lai Country. As long as it does not endanger the nation, I will grant whatever you ask."

Upon hearing these words, Nolan Chenyu abruptly looked up, a hint of chagrin flashing through his eyes.

He had always known that the Father Emperor regarded the State Preceptor highly, but it wasn’t until today that he truly understood just how much the Father Emperor valued the State Preceptor.

As long as it did not threaten the country, any request could be granted. What an enormous privilege that was!

He even felt that all his brothers combined might not match the State Preceptor’s status in their Father Emperor’s heart.

Zhong Niangyao looked over at Nolan Chenyu, a radiant smile curling at the corners of her mouth, then slowly spoke, "Actually, it’s very simple. I just hope His Majesty could issue an Imperial Decree to commend Princess Consort Yu and wish Prince Yu and Princess Consort Yu a lifelong of happiness together."

Nolan Chenyu looked at Zhong Niangyao in shock, his lips moved, and his complexion turned unsightly, but he didn’t say anything. Because he still remembered the questions that Zhong Niangyao had just asked, and his responses. If he now spoke up, then all his earlier statements would amount to the crime of deceiving the Emperor.

After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s request, Nolan Deye was startled for a moment but then immediately nodded, "Good, I will issue the decree in a moment. I will ensure that the Prince and Princess Consort spend the rest of their lives together."

Zhong Niangyao nodded, "I am grateful."

Nolan Chenyu appeared ashen-faced; he had never expected the State Preceptor to make such a request. More outrageous still was the Father Emperor, who actually agreed to it.

Just moments ago, he had been considering making Han An give up the title of Princess Consort so that he could find a way to marry a lady of noble birth. But once the Father Emperor’s Imperial Decree was issued, Han An would be his Princess Consort for life.

The current Han An was no longer the State Preceptor’s disciple, and to him, no longer held much utility. However, he hadn’t actually planned to completely abandon Han An; he intended to make her a concubine. After all, she had once been the State Preceptor’s disciple, and her Divination Skill was quite remarkable.

Yet now, all his plans had been overturned. For the moment, his mind was in disarray, and he couldn’t think of any better strategy.

"All right, you may leave now," Nolan Deye waved his hand and dismissed Nolan Chenyu.

Nolan Chenyu left with his head drooping, his entire demeanor exuding a sense of defeat, as if all his spirit had dissipated and he was nothing more than a walking corpse.

Nolan Deye did not notice Nolan Chenyu’s strangeness; he was more concerned with voicing his own questions so Zhong Niangyao might answer them.

Moreover, Zhong Niangyao had already exposed some of the underhanded things Nolan Chenyu had done in secret, and now he was completely disappointed in this son of his.

After Nolan Chenyu had left, Nolan Deye sent the old eunuchs serving at his side away.

Soon, only three people were left in the Imperial Study. Nolan Deye actually wanted Lu Yichen to leave as well, but sensing the overwhelming aura emanating from him, he always felt an impulse to bow in submission.

Remembering what Zhong Niangyao had previously said about Lu Yichen’s prowess, he dared not speak out.

Nolan Deye tried to ignore Lu Yichen’s presence, but when he looked at Zhong Niangyao, he couldn’t help feeling the urge to flee.

After glancing at Nolan Deye, Zhong Niangyao said in a composed manner, "Your Majesty, if you have any questions for me, please ask now! I will be leaving here tomorrow."

"So soon," Nolan Deye blurted out involuntarily, then realizing his emotions seemed a bit agitated, he took a deep breath immediately, "State Preceptor, can you not stay a couple more days?"

Zhong Niangyao, however, shook her head, "Even if I am standing in front of you now, it doesn’t mean I should continue living here in Lai Country. From ten years ago, I have not belonged to Lai Country, nor to this world."

Nolan Deye originally wanted to say something to persuade her to stay, but he couldn’t find the words when it came down to it.

Back then, although the State Preceptor had said she was willing to sacrifice herself to heaven, it was still his fault. So, with the State Preceptor’s decision to leave, he had no way to retain her.

After a moment of contemplation, Nolan Deye finally asked, "State Preceptor, why did you choose Chen Lang?"

"Because he is the next Emperor," Zhong Niangyao did not hide anything, "He has the aura of an Emperor on him, the destined Emperor. And—"

"And what?" Nolan Deye asked eagerly.

"The Emperor’s aura on Nolan Chenlang is very strong, even stronger than yours was back then," Zhong Niangyao’s eyes shone with a dim glint, her voice growing distant, "He is the predestined Star, and when he ascends to the throne in the future, he can lead Lai Country to its greatest heights."

"What?"

Excitement and exhilaration appeared on Nolan Deye’s face, his voice trembling, "State Preceptor, are you... are you serious? Chen Lang is truly—"

If his son could truly achieve this, he would be overjoyed even if he were in the ground.

"I wouldn’t joke about such a matter," Zhong Niangyao replied with a smile, shaking her head, "Even if I hadn’t chosen him today, he would still be the one to ascend the throne in the future."
