"I only fight with Yama, not death."

Gu Liuyan only cupped her hands slightly. Since she had found someone from the Yun clan, she dared to open her mouth: "My name is Gu Liuyan, a descendant of the Yun clan. My grandfather's name is Yun Qingyang, I hope senior can help me pass the message."

Hearing this, the old man only narrowed his eyes slightly. After looking around, he didn't see that she had a keepsake on her body.

"You didn't bring anything. This old man can't help you get the information. It's better to go back early and prepare everything before you come."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Liuyan felt a force pushing her away. It wasn't fast, but when she stopped, she did stagger a few steps. The people from the martial arts world saw this and started laughing.

"I thought she was a powerful little girl, but she couldn't even take one of Old Devil Bai's attacks."

"This girl really doesn't know her place. Does she really think that this Octagon Tower is easy to enter?"

The jeers from the side rang out, but Gu Pingyan only brushed off the dust on his body and continued to walk towards the Octagon Tower. The old man called Old Devil Bai once again appeared in front of her and blocked her path, this time with a hint of anger: "Miss, please don't pester me. Next time, this old man won't be polite."

"Go and tell Yun Qingyang that his granddaughter is waiting for her here. If he doesn't come, I will no longer recognize him. I will also not let him learn medical skills and burn all the books he left for me." She spoke softly, afraid that others would listen. On the surface, she sat down cross-legged like a scoundrel, pouting her lips.

Old Devil Bai was speechless for a moment. He thought that he should still send people there.

If this was truly Yun Qingyang's granddaughter, then she was the current Crown Princess, one who was arrogant and domineering. Her background was strong, and she couldn't be offended.

She crossed her legs and sat down, but there was no rest on the octagonal tower's martial stage.

The challenger would be considered the winner here, and the challenger would be the winner at the very end. The time limit was only seven days. Seven days later, even if one was lucky enough to stand on the stage, it would still be considered as one's win.

It was only the first day, but the real people did not go up. Those who came up were all people from the martial arts world who wanted to show their abilities.

After all, the martial arts world was a place where people gathered. If one traveled alone, they could find a good sect. If there were sects, they could naturally establish their might. However, blood was unavoidable.

This was the first time Gu Liuyan saw someone's arm being chopped into a bloody mess. When that person fell down, she quickly kneeled on the ground and covered her wound with a cloth. She looked at the person on the stage in disbelief: "Isn't this only the end?"

"You're really stupid. Naturally, there are ruthless people on the stage."

After saying that, the person on the platform wanted to make a move, but old man Bai directly threw him out. He only stroked his beard and said, "This young lady, you cannot offend her."

Gu Danyan only tore his coat and applied some hemostatic medicine on his arm before wrapping it up.

A group of people finally came and thanked Gu Danyan before carrying them away.

Gu Danyan wiped off the blood on his face and returned to the place where he had sat cross-legged earlier. His body was still covered with blood.

"You're not going to change?"

"I've spent all my silver. If he doesn't come soon, I'll starve to death." Gu Danyan rubbed the tip of his nose.

This girl was pretty and delicate, how could she be so unreasonable?

Old Devil Bai could only laugh and order his men to hurry over to report.

When the sun had set and night fell, no one came to the stage or the Octagon Tower. Old Devil Bai gave her a big biscuit, and after Gu Daiyan finished eating, he took the courage to ask for two more. After finishing the meal, he lay down on the ground to sleep, but he still remembered to wear his veil to prevent himself from losing face.

Old Devil Bai scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks as he watched. It was late into the night and it was late at night.

Only then did a carriage with the Yun clan's lanterns appear from the mountain path. Yun Qingyang could see the people sleeping soundly on the ground, but he could see the exhaustion in her eyes, as well as the chills, and only ordered the lass next to him to carry them up the carriage.

"This really is your granddaughter." Old Devil Bai clicked his tongue.

"Isn't that dignified?" Yun Qingyang only chuckled a few times before climbing up the carriage as well.

Old Devil Bai shook his head. He didn't seem to see how dignified and virtuous this girl was.

The next morning, when he woke up, he turned around and saw two little kids and a few little girls whispering in her medicine box. When he saw that she had woken up, he retreated for a long time before kneeling down and shouting in unison: "Crown Princess Jing!"

However, before she could get off the bed, a group of children rushed up and pressed her down on the bed: "The lord said that you are his benefactor, and he doesn't care about your body at all. He wants you to lie in bed for a few days before letting you go."

"Old master, are you referring to my grandfather, Yun Qingyang?" Gu Daiyan pointed at himself.

The few children hurriedly nodded their heads, and after a while, they brought the soup over for her to consume.

She had been taking care of them until they finished their food before leaving. She was rather curious as these kids kept saying that she was their benefactor, and that she had been wronged. If it really wasn't possible, then she shouldn't leave.

After the children had all left, Yun Qingyang came in alone and looked at her pitifully. "Grandfather knows all about the wounds on your body."

"Those were all done by the mirage …"

"But someone took the blood from your heart, I don't even know how much it hurts." Yun Qingyang's face darkened. She only allowed Gu Ming to make a noise before she continued, "You were originally the last generation of our Yun clan to marry the emperor. When I found out that you liked King Jing, I thought he would treat you well no matter what, given our background.

"Grandfather, this matter was caused by my own hands, no wonder it was done by others."

Gu Qingyang's eyes moistened slightly. The Yun Qingyang in her memory had always been kind to her, allowing her to do as she pleased. Yun Qingyang would always let her do as she pleased, and would only stop her when she started making trouble.

As for the rest of her medical skills, they were filled with words of concern to her grandfather. She had carefully memorized them, and only then did she expend all her energy to read all the books.

Yun Qingyang had discovered that her once arrogant granddaughter had changed.

"I've made you suffer. Now that you've come here, it's time for me to tell you the truth." Yun Qingyang sighed softly. When she raised her head, he looked at Gu Meiyan with a serious expression: "The Navy Tide Palace has changed. We can't stand on the heart of this matter anymore and decided to live in seclusion, so I made a deal with the current emperor to extend his longevity. The price is that you are to marry the imperial family as a proton."

Gu Danyan's heart tightened. He finally knew why the Emperor valued the Yun clan so much.

Who wouldn't want to sit on the throne for a few more days?

"But, now that you've been bullied by the royal family, why not just stay here and do other things …"

"You can't. If I don't go back, when the Duke of Jing gains power in the future, he'll slaughter everyone in the Yun clan." Gu Liuyan suddenly raised his head, and a terrifying cold light flashed in his eyes.
