The heavy snow in Sky Flame City seemed to be endless.
Almost all the people Gu Danyan knew were trapped in the Heaven Flame, unable to move an inch. In this huge palace, only the wine sent by Wang Mo carried a slight heat. Gu Liuyan was lost in thought as she looked at the snow-white sky outside the window.
"It's snowing so heavily that not even the people sent by Wang Mo's wine house or the people delivering goods to Misty Rain Pavilion can get us out. Yin Qiufu originally wanted to get out, but the carriage just got out of the city and was stuck in the snow, there's no way out."
Seeing that the room was still burning and the doors and windows were wide open, the ghost was startled and hurriedly closed the doors and windows.
"You are not afraid of being sick from blowing the whistle. If you fall down, it will be completely useless." Ghosts were nervous.
Gu Danyan was sitting at the table, lost in thought. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Before the ghost had even lit the brazier, he heard a few chuckles from in front of Phoenix Cry Garden. Su Yu Wan, dressed in brocade clothes and with an oil-paper umbrella wrapped in mink fur and holding a snow-white plum, had walked in.
After entering the house, Su Yuwan couldn't help but chuckle. "It's been three days and you still can't move an inch."
"Just how low do I have to use my life to walk out of Prince Jing's mansion? How deep do you think the prince's obsession with me is?" Gu Qing Yan didn't even glance at him. Her gentle words made Su Yu Wan frown. She was jealous in her heart.
It was a pity that Su Yuwan was not completely enraged and instead raised her eyebrows: "Since that's the case, I'll give you a chance to meet Brother Xuan."
Hearing the word 'opportunity', Gu Pingyan's dull eyes lit up. He quickly turned his head and looked at her: "What chance?"
"Kneel before Big Brother Xuan's study window for seven days and seven nights. If she is sincere to you, she will definitely come to your aid." Su Yu Wan gently sat down beside Gu Xuan Yan: "When I left the sect, I only knelt for two days. He resisted brother Huang and insisted on bringing me back to Sky Flame. As long as you followed suit, he would definitely be merciful."
"Will you help me with such good intentions?" Gu Daiyan's heart skipped a beat, but he was still skeptical.
"Of course there are conditions." Su Yu Wan said seriously: "If you succeed, I will find Mu Qing's fake death medicine and tell him that you kneeled down for a long time, fell into depression, and died. I will secretly send you away."
"After all of this, you're simply unable to do anything to me in secret. You want to use this sort of method to make me leave?" Gu Danyan also smiled, but she had already helped herself to the edge of the table and stood up: "But this is good too, I've been wanting to leave this place for a long time now."
"Then go." Su Yu Wan smiled helplessly.
After all, she only had her own life to live. If those children of the Yun clan who had yet to grow up lost their parents, then in the future, in this world, who could help them?
To be a doctor, to practice medicine to save others was the first step. She could not forget this.
She left the courtyard, and only took a quick glance at Lady Zhang's Qingze before heading to Duan Chengxuan's study.
On the other hand, Su Yu Wan caressed the rim of her cup and did not leave. Her eyes were filled with happiness.
Since he was the one who did it, Duan Chengxuan would never turn back. Even if she, Su Yuwan, were to go, Duan Chengxuan would never take up a rock and smash it against his own foot, saying that he was infatuated, but he was also the most heartless.
After Phantom Demon left as well, she then said softly, "Kneel before Big Brother Xuan. No matter whether this matter succeeds or not, you two will certainly grow tired of each other in the future."
Snow swirled in the air, and the cold wind was as sharp as knives.
Gu Danyan walked unhindered all the way to the front door of Duan Chengxuan's courtyard, then looked at her with a ghostly gaze. "Do you really want to go?"
"If there was a chance of survival, I would not have done so." Gu Danyan smiled bitterly.
Ghosts were silent. They had no choice but to bring her along and climb over the high walls, firmly landing in the snow. Another group of people came over, but didn't use their swords or sabers.
At this moment, Duan Chengxuan only opened the window a crack, and he raised his eyes to see Gu Daiyan silently standing there.
"If it's any of the Yun clan's matters, you can leave now." Duan Cheng Xuan lowered her head and continued to read the letter in her hand. In winter, the letter wasn't smooth, but the dark guards of his training department could come and go as they wished. It was a good opportunity to secretly divide or rope in forces.
He was in the middle of daydreaming when he raised his head again.
That slender figure had already disappeared into the snow and was kneeling in front of him. Her thoughts were a mess as she raised her hair. She slammed the table and stood up, "What are you doing!?"
"Back then, Su Yu Wan knelt down and begged you to take her away."
"Today, I'll kneel as well. I only hope that you can investigate the matter of the Yun clan and protect their lives."
Gu Danyan's voice was even softer than the wind and snow, yet it completely ignited all of the flames of fury in Duan Chengxuan's heart.
She was clearly able to escape unscathed every time, but she always put others at her heart. Just this point alone made him feel infuriated, and now, Gu Liuyan was riding on his nose to do whatever she wanted due to his love.
And now she still wanted to threaten him!
"Then kneel." He once again sat down and picked up the books beside him to read them one by one. However, he was unable to read even a single word, and his mind was filled with snowflakes, his black hair, eyes, and ears that were slightly red.
Phantom stood to the side, just for Gu Liuyan to block some of the wind and snow.
A smile appeared on her face as she said, "If you were here, he would be jealous that you were close to me."
"Kneeling in the snow like this, you'll get sick sooner or later." The ghost shook its head, unwilling to leave.
"Sickness can be cured." Gu Danyan smiled at him. Since ghost is used to believing Gu Daiyan, he would not doubt it. After hesitating for a while, he finally left under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Outside the door, Gu Zixian had hurried over after finding out about this. He looked at her quietly.
Lan frowned. "Keeping yourself alive is the most important thing right now."
"When father was implicated by the Nine Clans, she and I pretended that nothing had happened. I had thought that she was truly stone-hearted." Gu Zi Wu laughed at himself, waved his sleeves and left: "I never expected, I can't even compare to her."
"Eldest Miss is the fool. She's already the daughter of a sinner, and now she's even trying to get her husband to care about the matters of the Yun clan. She's basically crossing a river like a clay buddha." Alan followed closely behind Gu Zixian and said in a low voice, "If it's Miss, why don't we temporarily take her place and ask for some benefits?"
His footsteps paused, and Gu Zi Wu turned his head: "What should I do?"
"Since Crown Princess Jing doesn't know how to appreciate favors, then Miss should know how to appreciate them." Lan's eyes lit up, and he whispered something into Gu Zixian's ear.
"I'll do as you say." Gu Zixian patted Alain on the head and pushed her forward.
Lan quickly ran away while Gu Zixian shrunk his neck back. He then looked at the person kneeling in the snow and sneered, "What a fool."
