The horse carriage jolted as Sky Flame City was left far behind.

The ghost had just boarded the carriage when he said in a low voice, "It seems that the Second Prince is going to the residence of the Assistant Minister of Revenue. I'm afraid that he is going to push the poison onto the Prince's head."

"That's right." Gu Liuyan nodded with a smile.

Qing Dai, who was carrying a bag by her side, did not forget to ask Gu Daiyan, "Miss, I have already arranged all the booklets we passed through along the way. These scholars should be able to contact them."

"You don't simply want to go to the Heavenly Mountain to offer your sacrifices?" When the demons and ghosts saw the densely packed names and names on the booklet, they were even more puzzled.

"I've indeed always wanted to go to the Heavenly Mountain to pay respects, but this time, I intentionally took advantage of Duan Chengxuan's pampering to leave, so he wouldn't be able to let me go. Besides, I can also take a look at the abilities of these scholars. Gu Danyan said softly as he read through some of the details in the book.

The two of them looked at each other and did not speak any further.

After a while, Gu Daiyan closed the book and asked ghost, "Have you found Mother's coffin?"

"Not yet, but if you're not wrong, then if the man in white is going against you, then he should be fine. It's just that a strange thing happened this morning." The ghost rubbed his head and suddenly took out an aged talisman from his pocket. "Two walls of the Soul Suppressing Pavilion at the foot of the Yin Mountain have collapsed. These talismans are wrapped in wooden boxes and written with a string of words in blood."

"What word?" Gu Danyan looked at the talisman paper and his expression changed.

"Blood shall be repaid in blood." The ghost lightly said.

Gu Daiyan's face was sullen. The way this man dressed in white spoke was very similar to the Zhu siblings' Mirage style.

"The incantation looks like a corner of an iron bell, but this Soul Suppressing Orb is likely built by the Emperor. However, the Yun clan's paper talismans are inside the walls, so it's hard to avoid this feeling of curiosity: Has anyone seen through the secrets of this incantation?"

"The Prime Minister has sought out many people, but none of them could see what he was trying to say. However, the Emperor became furious and hurriedly called for the prince to enter the palace before you left." As the ghost spoke, he saw Gu Danyan frown and add, "This matter, the Prince was not involved in it at all, and it was also not done by the Prime Minister."

Then this matter was done by the so called man in white.

Earlier, she had sent Spiritfount to investigate the appearance of the people she had met in the fishing village. The Ghost indicated that they were none other than the man dressed in white who had attempted to assassinate Yue Shan City.

However, she did not know their motive. She only knew that the Second Prince was about to recruit the Assistant Minister of the Department of Revenue, and that the fight between the princes would only grow more and more intense. She had long left such a troublesome place, yet she was able to wholeheartedly choose the best candidate for the Third Prince.

All along the way, Gu Daiyan was afraid that Duan Chengxuan would send people to protect him in the dark, so she went to meet the scholars in a battle of wits.

The mountain was always cold, and Yun Qingyang's tombstone was right at the foot of the mountain.

As they passed by Crooked Sun Town, a few woodcutter martial artists reminded them to prepare more clothes before letting them up the mountain.

He didn't bring any ghost or blue dai with him. Gu Daiyan intentionally left him alone to see if the man in white had been following him all this time.

She was also dressed in white and carried a box of food. As she walked into the forest of cedar trees, there was still no sound from her surroundings. Only the snow underneath her feet had become much deeper.

She left the house early in the morning, but it wasn't until it was late in the morning that she found the ruins of a mountain.

She took a deep breath and her face became red from the cold wind. Step by step, she walked around the ruins of the palace and finally found the few tombstones beneath the cliff.

"Finally found it." After holding her knees and taking a few breaths, she finally arrived in front of the tombstones.

But when she looked at the names on the tombstones, she frowned. She knelt in the snow and looked at each and every one of them, but she still did not see the name Yun Qingyang.

Just as she was astonished, a refined male voice was heard. "He isn't dead. Naturally, his tombstone isn't here."

Gu Danyan turned around abruptly. The man was still dressed in white, and his back was facing her as he stood in the snow.

"Ever since Yue Shan City, you've been following me."

"You're very smart." The man in white smiled lightly. Amidst the snow-white sky, there was a very obvious iron bell hanging from his waist.

Gu Danyan stood up and looked at him, "You did it too obviously. I've never seen you in the Yun family, and my grandfather never mentioned you."

"Didn't you ask where your mother's coffin had gone?" The man in white finally stopped laughing.

"I'd like to know what exactly you do?" After Gu Daiyan had finished speaking, a small knife left its sheath and slipped into her sleeve. She then silently took a few steps forward.

"I'm just working for someone else." The man in white slowly turned around, allowing Gu Meiyan to clearly see his delicate face. At the same time, Gu Danyan saw the bone fan in his hand and subconsciously retracted the knife.

"Do you want to tell me something or give me something now?" Gu Danyan raised his chin.

"I did come to tell you something." The man in white smiled and held her wrist as he said softly, "Yun Qingyang is now very safe. He secretly had some contact with the Yun family. When they said he was dead, they actually wanted him to do something more important."

"What about my mother's coffin?" Gu Liuyan let him hold her.

The man in white smiled and let go of her wrist. "Well preserved. These are just their plans to avenge your mother."

"It's Gu Cheng?" When he wasn't expecting it, the knife in his hand had already landed firmly on his neck, "In the end, although Yun Su is my mother, Gu Cheng is also my biological father."

Bewildered, the man in white lightly tapped her dagger with his fingertip, bringing with him a few drops of blood, "You have adopted a thief as your father. How could Madam Yun mou have taken a fancy to someone as devoid of conscience as Gu Cheng?"

Gu Danyan widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief: "Where did you hear that!"

"What Gu Cheng wants is the imperial family's guilt towards your Yun clan, and what he wants is your medical skills as a descendant of the Yun clan. If he really was your father, then he wouldn't have easily pushed you to Duan Chengxuan, who already has a lover!"

"Crunch."

The knife in his hand was broken into two halves right at the moment the man in white frowned.

She opened her mouth to ask something, but the man had already covered her mouth and nose with a piece of cloth.

Before passing out, she absentmindedly heard the man's voice. "When you leave the estate, I will come and find you."
