Talking about conditions right after meeting up did indeed fit Gu Danyan's personality.
On this paper, there were only a few conditions.
Firstly, when he ascended to the throne in the future, he would no longer implicate the Yun Family in any disputes. Secondly, he could not use the lives of the royal brothers as a stepping stone, and could think of ways to make the people think that the elixir of life was hidden somewhere in the ruins.
After reading the second condition, Duan Chengrui already frowned. "Then if Royal Uncle …"
"You can't kill me." Gu Liuyan shook his head: "He has done a great service, he doesn't deserve to die."
Hearing these words, both the Widow Zhu and Duan Chengrui frowned as they recalled what Duan Chengxuan had done to Gu Danyan, and they felt that they should repay him with their lives.
Gu Mingyan saw the frightening look in their eyes and the corners of his eyes curved. "I'm no longer Crown Princess Jing, but Yun Chen of the Yun clan. The relationship between Prince Jing and I is merely hostile. I don't want to put anyone to death."
"Could it be that you still remember the relationship between you and Imperial Uncle …"
"There is no connection between Yun Chen and King Jing." Gu Danyan shook his head and brushed away the dust on his clothes. He took off his veil and smiled to the kids before they rushed over, "The current Yun Chen is His Highness' advisor."
Duan Chengrui's heartstrings were thrown into disarray for no reason.
The other children quickly came over and opened their arms towards Gu Danyan, who helplessly picked up the youngest girl and held her hand with one hand while looking at their muddy bodies with the other hand, "Don't be fooling around anymore. When it's time for the Heavenly Fiery Autumn Hunt, I will prepare everything and take you out for a few days of sightseeing, okay?"
The children looked at Duan Chenrui with rather dissatisfied gazes, as if they were blaming him for taking Gu Danyan away.
Gu had no choice but to beg the widow to take the children with her, and to assure her that he would definitely return in the autumn.
As the ghosts continued to beat up Ye Chen, Gu Danyan brought Duan Chengrui slowly back to his bamboo house.
"This Yun clan is indeed a paradise. Since you have come here, could it be that you are really willing to return to the Sky Flame with me?" Duan Chengrui sized up the medicinal herbs here, as well as the people within the clan. Everything seemed to have blended and blended together, causing him to be extremely happy.
"An otherworldly place is a place for those who have experienced hardship. I am still young and vigorous, and compared to this peaceful village, I would like to see the appearance of the storm more." Gu Danyan put on the veil lightly: "I've tasted the knife, but not the desert."
"Are you really willing to return to the open and secret struggle between the Sky Flames?"
"Since I've promised you, that is what I want to do. I once heard that my mother was not dead, but she refused to see me. She must be worried about me, and if she finds out that I went back to the Sky Flame and got involved, she will definitely come to see me. " Gu Liuyan said softly. She rolled her eyes at everyone she met and smiled at them.
Duan Chengrui helplessly said, "Your thoughts aren't bad, but unfortunately, your mother ought to think that you're dead as well."
"If she thought that I died at that time, she wouldn't have let the people from the Wind Listening Pavilion escort me back then." Gu Liuyan shook his head. He was very sure about what had happened to Yun Su.
Duan Chengrui could only tell Gu Tinyan about the matter between the white-clothed gongzi and Lady Fan.
After hearing everything, Gu Danyan shook his head helplessly: "I don't know much about the martial arts world, not to mention that I haven't even taken a step outside of this place this winter, so I don't know what happened either."
"I will tell you about it in detail after we leave this place." Duan Chengrui also smiled warmly at her.
Gu Danyan nodded. When he returned to the house, he packed the luggage he had prepared long ago and called Ghost to sit in the carriage on his way back to the Sky Flame.
There were already quite a few princes that had been conferred princes and sent to various places, and there were even two princes who had been imprisoned because of matters. Currently, in the imperial court, only Duan Chengrui and Duan Chengxuan were equally matched.
As for the matters that occurred during this period, Duan Chengrui spoke with Liu Ming and Gu Liuyan.
By the time he returned to the Sky Flame, the ghost beside him had no choice but to wear a bookish green robe. As he let his hair down, it was difficult to recognize him, but even so, there was still a long scar on the side of his face.
Gu Danyan had long since changed into a man's black robe, and a long saber hung at his waist. The piece of jade that Duan Chengrui had given him was still hanging on his waist, and he wore a black bandana.
The two of them followed behind Duan Chengrui to the third prince's residence, but Duan Chengrui brought the two of them to a small building on the second floor. Looking at the interior decorations, Gu Daiyan pulled off some scarves, but he was curious: "Why is it so eye-catching?"
"To the outside world, I've already said that this building was built by a great person. The more high-profile a building is, the less likely it is to be suspicious. Moreover, this two story building is not that easy to get into." Duan Chengrui seemed to have settled this matter safely.
Gu Liuyan was not able to say anything about this. Furthermore, it was safe for her to stay upstairs or downstairs for ghosts. She could clearly see everything that was happening outside the courtyard walls, and there were no maidservants to accompany her.
After putting down the bag, Gui Gui pulled at the hair at the back of his neck. "So annoying. Why must I pretend to be a scholar? I even have to wear a scar on my face."
Gu Liuyan laughed out loud and pinched his nose: "You look so cool this way, maybe some girls would like that."
Phantom rolled his eyes at her and pulled away her scarf as well. "Look at your face. Even with a knife, you're still a sissy."
The two of them glared at each other, and then they fought back and forth like kids fighting each other.
Duan Chengrui, who had already left, was slightly dazed as he listened to what was going on inside.
This winter, Gu Liuyan seemed to be more intimate with ghosts and demons.
In the instant that Gu Danyan and Ghastly Shadow entered the mansion, Duan Chengrui intentionally let the Wind Listening Pavilion's people to know of the news.
When it was late in the night, Liu'er had secretly arrived at a house in the city. Upon hearing this news, Yun Wan's expression immediately changed, the tea in her cup spilling all over her body: "Is this true? Did he really bring Yan'Er to this place again? "
"It seems so. But right now, we are already prepared to announce the matter of Gu Cheng to the world. The evidence is almost complete. With Miss's intelligence, we will naturally discover your existence." Liu'er was also helpless.
Even though Gu Danyan could follow the vines and find their way to the Wind Listening Pavilion, his intuition was greater than his reason.
However, if she had heard that the Wind Tower had attacked Gu Cheng, she would definitely have been able to figure it out in a moment.
He couldn't hide it from her.
"No, the fact that I'm still alive will only bring her trouble." Yun Wan shook her head: "The martial arts people all know about the Lifestealer Chain, the Yun family's descendant found the secret recipe for the immortal medicine, and it was to protect the Yun family that I took it and my coffin. If only the third prince knew that I was still alive …"
Liu'er frowned. "You don't believe in the Royal Family, but by now, the Young Miss might have already told the Third Prince."
