"Yes." The ghost painfully covered his face with his hands. "But it was indeed my own wish, especially this face."
"What's there to hide? If you follow me out, no one will call you pretty boy." Gu Danyan directly threw the black cloth down from the second floor.
The ghost raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything in the end. He used an appearance that was even more cute than A'Mo to finish the meal.
"How old are you?" Gu Danyan asked as he finished his food.
"Twenty-four." Phantom Shadow glanced at Gu Danyan strangely. He had a nagging feeling that Gu Danyan's eating speed was really fast and unstoppable.
Gu Liuyan was slightly astonished. He didn't expect the other party to be even older than him.
"Since I was a child, I have followed by his side, but did not participate in the war. I should have been able to do this for twenty years, and I can still return once or twice a year." Phantom seemed to know her sentiments, as he explained them one by one.
"I can't tell." Qing Dai shook her head helplessly.
He only continued to fiddle around with the dishes on the plate and hastily settled the issue. He thought that he could return to the house, but after Gu Daiyan left Hundred Flavors Tower, he went straight to the Hall of Rewards and collected a large bag of medicinal herbs before slowly returning to the medicine house.
In the already quiet night, ghosts put down their things and couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, won't you ask me about your matters?"
"That's his problem, not mine." Gu Dai Yan sorted out the herbs in detail, while Qing Di organized everything in a practiced manner, "Gui Gui, take out all the herbs over there and put them on another table."
Phantom nodded.
For several days, Gu Danyan did not leave his house, and he did not care about external matters. He only wanted to cure the mirage's poison as he busied himself day and night, sleeping six hours a day was already the most.
The Emperor Board had already been posted in Sky Flame City, indicating that this year's top scholar would be able to recruit quite a few talents.
The war between the princes was in full swing, and the Second Prince was now showing off his abilities. Suddenly, he brought up the matter of exterminating bandits and managing the river, and even a few of the younger princes joined in as well, afraid that the Emperor would not see through them.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Gu Mingyan.
Once again, he was thrown to the ground by a ghost, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Gu Liuyan was sweating profusely as he lay in the middle of the yard, feeling helpless: "Why are you so powerful? It's as if the knife changed patterns in your hand."
"I've already practiced martial arts for more than ten years, so naturally I'm different."
He pulled her up from the ground helplessly.
After getting along for a few days, he knew that Gu Danyan didn't care about etiquette, and she didn't complain no matter how he punched. Besides, Gu Danyan knew how to take care of his body, which made him feel like this teaching martial arts was not bad.
That simple knife fell into the hands of ghosts and ghosts, just like the flapping butterfly wings.
Gu Danyan sat on the steps and drank a lot of water. When he turned around, he saw the knife in the ghost's hand falling into his other hand. He smiled proudly and threw the sheath into Gu Daiyan's arms.
"You have to wear this knife on your body every day to nurture your emotions."
Gu Daiyan was surprised, but he still tied the scabbard around his waist, "You don't look like someone who was raised by the Prince, but you actually believe that you have feelings for the saber."
"Why can't I have feelings?" As the ghost spoke, the smile on his face vanished without a trace. Looking at the warm weather, he could not help but ask, "But Your Royal Highness, do you have any other arrangements for the next few days?"
"There's no arrangement. The mirage's poison already has an idea." Gu Danyan looked at him curiously.
"Then is Your Highness willing to train in footwork? This is also something that the prince instructed me to do before I left. "
Phantom Demon suddenly walked in front of her and knelt on one knee. "You have to follow me and run in the mountain forest. You have to leave the city for three days."
"Sure." The thing that Gu Danyan was least afraid of was a challenge.
Both of them took a good rest for the night, and the next day, they left in a hurry with only some dry rations and water bags. Gu Daiyan had three small knives at his waist, one for the lotus seed soup, the other for the game, and the last one for self-defense.
Arriving at the mountain outside of the Sky Flame, they were not surprised to meet the herb refiner who had come up early in the morning to pick the herbs.
Facing so many people, Gu Danyan was still worried: "It's quite dangerous at night on the mountain, and there are still people on the mountain from time to time. You'd better be careful when you try to test me."
"Your Highness Princess, don't worry." After Phantom Demon finished speaking, he had already disappeared.
Gu Ming carefully sniffed the air for a bit and knew that the ghost trial had already begun. He hastily bade farewell to the medicine farmers and walked on this trackless mountain with some difficulty.
She did not see any ghosts until nightfall.
After hesitating for a while, she went to the riverside to catch a few small fishes. Then, she lit up a fire on her own and set out a clean place to sit. After she cooked the food, a long sword steadily landed at her feet.
"Your highness, we can't be careless."
"Is that so?" The corner of Gu Mingyan's mouth twitched. She pulled out the long sword and threw it to the side, then crooked her fingers at the tree trunk, "Just nice, come down and eat."
The ghost hid in the darkness and realized that Gu Daiyan had not found out where he was.
However, the increasingly thick smell in his nose caused him to obediently land beside Gu Liuyan: "Your Highness, you're cheating."
"There is nothing to be afraid of, and what's more, the things I learned were all for self-defense."
Gu Danyan handed the antidote to him and the roasted fish without any seasonings.
He rubbed the tip of his nose, but the ghost still accepted it obediently. He felt that Gu Daiyan was rather mysterious: "You ran for a day, can you still hold on?"
"Naturally." Gu Liuyan was just rubbing his sore calves. He should still be able to hold on.
"Actually, you don't need to work so hard. The prince will definitely not let you get hurt again."
Gu Danyan paused for a moment, and his gaze fell on the ghost: "In your eyes, is everything the right thing to do, your highness?"
"Yes, even though he would do the wrong thing, I think what he did was right." Phantom nodded seriously.
Gu Xuan Yan suddenly smiled, "Because you only saw him. When the exam is over, I'll take you to see Meng Xu. But you have to keep this a secret from the Prince. Can you do it?"
"No." After what had happened, Ghosts had already memorized that he had to speak the truth in front of her.
"Then aren't you curious to leave Duan Chengxuan? What else is there outside?" Gu Liuyan fiddled with the fire and asked her: "Have you seen the lives of the civilians? I can even let you enjoy it as long as you keep this as our secret. "
To a person like Phantom, whose personal freedom had been restricted, this was undoubtedly the song of a mermaid.
"I'll do my best." Phantom hung his head.
