"Just like how you loved Su Yuwan, I also like his unrestrained freedom. When I look at you as if you were looking forward to it, I will always catch up to you, but I never harmed you in the slightest, nor did I even use my hands to harm you." Gu Danyan caressed the wooden cat with a gentle expression: "I know, he really treats me well."
"How many times have you seen it?" For some reason, Duan Cheng Xuan abruptly stood up.
Gu Danyan was shocked. He subconsciously took a step back and stood on the bow of the ship.
Neither of them could hear the boatman's warning.
"So what? As long as there's something about him that appeals to me, he is unique in my eyes. "But I, Gu Liuyan, am not the least bit attractive in your eyes. You don't even care about me." Gu Liuyan self-deprecatingly lifted the corner of his mouth. His wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, and his hair was in disarray.
Duan Cheng Xuan was actually speechless for a moment.
He didn't know why, but the deepest impression he had wasn't that he was practicing the sword with Su Yu Wan. Instead, it was on the mountain outside Sky Flame City that he had pulled her up from the pit.
He raised his head and saw that Gu Danyan's back was already covered with lanterns.
"Today is just right. Why don't you give it a try and see how I feel in the prince's heart?"
She laughed softly and fell back to the boatman's cry of surprise, a smile on her face.
Look at her, jumping again.
This time, it was still a gamble.
When the cold water entered his nose and throat, it felt like he was on fire. His body felt like it was being overturned and his body was stiff. He subconsciously wanted to go through with it, but the light was even further away.
She had bet her life twice. Perhaps this time, she would die at his hands.
But in the next moment, even more splashes erupted in front of him. Duan Chengxuan's face was practically within reach, and the hand that was on Gu Daiyan's waist increased its strength.
When the two of them breathed in the fresh air, Gu Pingyan, who had only coughed twice, couldn't hold back his laughter as he held onto Duan Cheng Xuan's shoulder.
"Lady! Young master! "Hurry up and come up!"
The boatman was quite frightened by the two's actions and quickly thought of a way to pull them out of the water.
He did not care about his appearance and his hair was all over his face. Before Duan Chengxuan could get angry, she suddenly covered his mouth, and after a long time of silence, he said with a low laugh, "So the one who is stupid is you, have you really recognized yourself?"
"What?" Duan Cheng Xuan looked at her in confusion.
Gu Danyan crawled to his side and looked at her with his big eyes: "Can you say that you really don't like me at all? Everything that happened before was fake. "
It was fake.
Duan Chengxuan wanted to blurt out these words, but the suffocating feeling these three words gave him was even more terrifying than before.
He simply smiled as he moved closer to Gu Danyan, grabbed her neck, and gave her a heavy kiss. Gu Danyan also hooked her onto his shoulder, deepening the kiss.
There was no time to ponder whether or not these feelings were real.
It was only when the two of them separated that Gu Danyan pushed her away and stood up. He rubbed his lips and sat back on the boat. He smiled and said: "I look more like your concubine."
Duan Chengxuan seemed to never know what she was thinking, as he only stood up. "I only lied to you because of Su Yuwan."
"I only threw myself into your arms for the sake of my future status." Gu Liuyan just smiled and turned around.
Their eyes met, and even if they had any feelings for each other, it would not be pure.
"I must go and get the lotus seed soup. If not, Silver Ear and Red Jujube will be missing a companion." As Gu Liuyan said this, he tidied up his clothes and hair before sitting down and continuing to eat.
It was as if nothing had happened.
However, in the next few days, even Chengshan discovered that they were acting the same as before, like old husbands and wives.
"Is this really a fake? I really can't see it. " Gu Danyan strangely held the small vase in her hands. The patterns on the vase were obviously very detailed.
"The real item is in the palace."
"Oh." Gu Danyan only put down the vase in his hand and faced the person in front of him again: "I have Glazed Light Wood here, do you know if there are similar buyers nearby?"
"Ephemeral wood? I've never heard of it. "
Hearing this, Gu Pingyan just smiled and didn't say anything. He only bought some jade bottles and wooden boxes before leaving.
"What is the nature of this glowing wood?" Cheng Shan felt that he had learnt quite a lot along the way.
"It seems like this item can only be bought on the black market, and it's also strange. Earlier, I smelled the scent of this item on the Scarlet Scorpion's body, and I wondered if I could find them." Gu Danyan had been buying more and more things along the way. Cheng Shan had already sent many things back to Sky Flame's medicine store.
"After finding them?" Cheng Shan continued to ask.
"Of course it's to return my little Lian, and help them along the way." Gu Liuyan chuckled: "Speaking of the mirage's tragedy, it's really our Yun ancestors' fault. As long as we can get along peacefully, helping them is not bad."
After leaving the small infirmary, Gu Daiyan did not reveal her plan. She just continued eating and drinking in the restaurant and ordered some good specialties.
"How long are you going to walk around? If this continues, you will fall before you even reach the Hundred Grass Cliff. " They had already wandered around for a few days. Gu Liuyan had even made medicine in the inn and would study the prescriptions on the carriage. They would only get skinnier as a result.
"I did not take any detours. I was only trying my best to solve all the problems I encountered." Gu Liuyan didn't forget to glare at Duan Chenxuan when she was eating. "I won't forget about the incident at the Hundred Herb Cliff. I'll head out after I get the lotus seed soup."
Chengshan seemed to understand the meaning behind Gu Mingyan's words.
The lotus seed soup seemed like an excuse, but in reality, Gu Pingyan's goal was only the mirage itself.
But Chengshan didn't understand why she was looking for her enemy.
However, Duan Chengxuan only frowned. At the same time that he understood Gu Pingyan's meaning, he didn't forget to say, "Your life still belongs to me."
"Then you have to properly protect me this time." Gu Danyan chuckled.
On the night they landed, while Gu Daiyan was still sleeping, Duan Chenxuan was awakened by the sound coming from the corridor. As expected, Zhu Yan and the Scarlet Scorpion rushed in as expected, following the thought of taking care of Mingyan.
The long blade in Zhu Yan's hand fiercely resisted Duan Chengxuan's attack. The Scarlet Scorpion took advantage of the large number of people to arrive beside Gu Daiyan. Before it could grab her, a man whose entire body was wrapped in black had already swung her away.
"You're finally here." Gu Liuyan had already sat on the edge of the bed and smiled at her when she saw that the ghost had caught the Scarlet Scorpion.
