Cindy was frightened by Amos's words.
However, Duan Chengxuan took the pastry and rubbed her head heavily. "Where did your elder sister go?"
"He said he went to the other side." Amo smiled as he returned to Qing Dai's side, picking up the leftover egg drop soup.
Qing Dai panicked, not knowing who the Young Miss went to meet. If she were to be run into by Duan Chengxuan, what would she do?
Just as he was vexed over what to do, Duan Cheng Xuan had already stood up and walked over to the other side.
Looking at the ball of flesh, Fairy Qingmei let out a long sigh. "You really are a ghost."
"Are you praising me?" Amo blinked his eyes in confusion. Only the young girl looked worriedly at the inn across the street, not knowing if it was a blessing or a curse.
When Duan Cheng Xuan found the room that Gu Liu Yan was in, she heard Gu Liu Yan's light laughter coming from inside.
In that case, you can settle in the Heaven Flame." There was a hint of a smile in Gu Danyan's voice, as if he was writing something. After a while, he continued, "However, you must be careful within the Heaven Flame. Do not expose your identity and bring about a fatal disaster.
"Alright."
"Brother!" The Scarlet Scorpion interrupted Zhu Yan and looked at him helplessly. "Did you forget that she had many tricks up his sleeve? We came to find her to help us hide, not to let her keep us in Sky Flame! "
Gu Danyan raised his head and looked at her. The Scarlet Scorpion must have been this cautious because he had tricked it before.
"The world is so big, where can you escape to? If you can stay in Sky Flame and take back all the venom you sold, you can still leave a chance for survival in this Navy Tide." Gu Liuyan could only explain.
The Scarlet Scorpion clenched its fist and exchanged a glance with Zhu Yan, "There's so much poison, how are we going to recover it …"
"As long as you sell the antidote, you guys can bring the poison here. I will dispel the poison one by one and then take them to the Hall of Relief." Only then did Gu Danyan take off his veil, thinking about what else he would bring back for Mo later.
"It's easy to say, but you've done it so openly. Don't tell me that the Emperor won't …"
"If you know what's wrong, then correct it. Besides, the Yun Family has helped the royal family for so many years, the biggest influence you guys have is the Sunset Water Stronghold. As long as I don't say anything, no one will know." Gu Danyan sighed again.
Just as he was wondering why Zhu Yan didn't open his mouth, he saw him staring at the door in a daze.
Could it be that someone was eavesdropping outside the door?
Thinking of this, Gu Liuyan raised his eyebrows and asked while half-supporting his face: "Zhu Yan, what do you think?"
"I think so. Merely, this Yin Gou is only your servant girl. We do not have any guarantees." Zhu Yan nodded at Gu Liuyan, then he glanced at the door and continued: "What else can you give us?"
"About you …"
"Regarding your reputation in the martial arts world, we can't do anything about it." Zhu Yan interrupted her.
Gu Liuyan understood. Zhu Yan seemed to know who the people outside were.
She didn't seem to care much about Qing's comments on the martial arts world.
As he said this, he gave a few more simple details. He also gave a letter to the Zhu siblings in order for them to gain Yin Gou's trust and hand over two thousand taels of silver to them.
"Could it be that you took it out from Prince Jing's estate?" The Scarlet Scorpion looked at Gu Daiyan warily.
"That's not it. I earned them myself." Gu Daiyan slowly stood up and left his veil to them.
Without any warning, she pushed open the door, only to see Duan Chengxuan and a ghost by the door.
Their gazes met, causing Gu Daiyan to be slightly shocked. After that, he brushed past Duan Chengxuan and followed him step by step until they arrived at the market. Only then did Gu Daiyan carefully pick out some things that children loved to play with and carry them in his arms.
It wasn't until they had walked into the Hundred Flavors Tower that Duan Cheng Xuan finally opened her mouth behind them. "Just now, someone bullied that little girl."
"Who?" Gu Danyan's tone suddenly rose. He turned his head around to ask and his eyes were filled with anger: "Mo is just a little girl."
"Now that I think about it, she's Meng Xu's adopted sister." Duan Chengxuan's eyes slightly narrowed. Even in such a public place like this, he was still able to embrace her, yet he whispered into her ear, "You even contacted Mirage, what exactly do you want to do?"
Gu Danyan's head immediately started to hurt. If the mirage hadn't appeared, Duan Chengxuan would only think that she liked a cute child like A'Mo.
Now that he had arrived, it instead caused Duan Chengxuan to doubt his intentions.
"What else can I do?" Gu Daiyan broke free from his embrace, bit her lips, and her eyes reddened. She continued to mutter to herself, "You could kill me with a move of your fingers. No one would avenge me. You can rest assured."
As she said this, she continued to carry the items upstairs, as if she thought that these things could make him happy.
Duan Chengxuan stood on the spot, his mind in complete chaos.
Gu Liuyan was indeed cunning, but she remembered that she did not like eating sweet food. She even told a little girl that the ghost behind her did not say a word, but would occasionally glance at the stairs: "Prince, I think that Princess would like for you to accompany her more."
"What?" Duan Chengxuan looked over with a cold expression.
"Princess has always been very lonely. I think she definitely likes this cute little girl." Phantom scratched his head, confessing his thoughts.
Was she lonely?
"This King sees that she is always so crafty." As he spoke, Duan Chengxuan continued to walk up the stairs as he watched Ah Mo sit in Gu Liu Yan's embrace and play with all kinds of toys.
Duan Chengxuan sat beside her without making a sound, and when he saw the pure smile on Gu Xuan's face, the suspicion in his heart was greatly dispelled, but he only missed a trace of malice in Gu Danyan's eyes.
The Zhu siblings left after they had disguised themselves in the opposite inn.
Zhu Yan looked at the end of the letter in his hand and lowered his head slightly. "This Gu Mingyan, just what does he want to do?"
"What's wrong?" The Scarlet Scorpion also came over.
After reading the last paragraph, the Scarlet Scorpion opened its eyes wide and snatched the letter back: "She simply doesn't care about her life!"
Zhu Yan stared blankly at the bustling city, his face completely gloomy. "She wants to pull down those ministers and lend us our hand."
"Brother, this is too risky." The scorpion widened its eyes in disbelief. "If we use our poison on those ministers, we'll use our Zhu Family's lives …"
"She wants to borrow the Mirage's name, and wants us to place the poison on those ministers." Zhu Yan's face was gloomy.
This woman was fundamentally different from what Su Yuwan had wanted to do back then.
