As he stepped down the stairs, the coldness in his eyes had yet to fade.

Duan Chengxuan drank tea from half of his body as he used his cleaner hands to hold hers. "You seem to be even more bold than before."

"Isn't that what you want?" Gu Liuyan did not withdraw his hand. Instead, he reached into his sleeve and pulled out the semi-wet note. There was a blurry word underneath: "I'm saying why mother never wrote to me. Instead, it was all delivered to your hands."

"When did you know?" Duan Cheng Xuan was helpless and could only lead her to the side of the boat.

"Don't forget who asked me to deliver my clothes last night, and yet you shamelessly pulled on me." Speaking of which, Gu Liuyan laughed as well, looking at him, "I have enmity with both Gu Cheng and Ai Yan. If you have any letters from your mother, you should know that Su Yuwan and Gu Cheng have reached an agreement privately. What you're selling is my mother's information."

"Indeed, when I first saw Gu Zixian and Chang Yiqin working together, I didn't expect that Su Yuwan and Xiao Hai would have some interactions." Duan Chengxuan nodded in understanding with a cold and indifferent expression. "Whatever you say, it's all my fault."

"Have you accepted your mistakes as a habit?" Gu Danyan looked at him strangely.

"No matter what, it's better to admit your wrongs in front of you first." Duan Chengxuan's tone carried a few traces of flattery, and just as Gu Liuyan was slightly relaxed, she was hugged by a crowd and spoke with a much deeper voice, "I didn't know that you like to tease girls."

Gu Danyan was startled, but he was not afraid: "Young Master did not allow me to tease, and the lady also did not allow me to tease?"

"No." Duan Chengxuan's tone was overbearing, but the strength in his hands did not lessen. "When do you plan on making me act against Su Yu Wan?"

"Endure it for now. If you want to comfort Mistress' spirit in heaven, then torture her well. You can't let her take advantage of you on such a simple matter." Gu Liuyan followed suit and leaned into Duan Chenxuan's embrace, as she had long since become accustomed to these actions. "I do miss Qingze a bit. It's been a long time since we last met, I wonder how he's been in Tianyan."

"The Queen Mother and royal brother like it very much, so of course they wouldn't mistreat it." Duan Chengxuan simply led them into the room. "My days passed quickly, and I'm afraid it'll be autumn again in a few more days. Let me see how my legs are doing."

After allowing him to bring her back to her room, Gu Danyan's legs had become much better. The lines had long since disappeared, but they would sometimes hurt a little when the poison invaded them. Coupled with the fact that Duan Chengxuan had been nourishing him for so long, he wouldn't be able to walk much further than before.

Duan Chengxuan personally rubbed it, and his eyes became even colder. "I can't get fat."

Gu Danyan almost couldn't hold it in and hit him. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm not fat, and I don't sleep much …"

Duan Chengxuan looked over coldly, but she didn't say anything.

"Even if doctors ask people to eat slower, you still can't learn, so stick your nose into other people's business." Duan Chengxuan lightly patted her leg and said in a low voice, "Go to my room and have a good night's sleep tonight. In another two days, you'll arrive at Black Water Town."

"Be careful that Gu Cheng still has spies in Navy Tide. Otherwise, how would he know that we're going to the Water Pass and take the water route to Blackwater Town?" Gu Danyan nodded his head in agreement and stood up along the bed. He adjusted the wrinkles on his body and said, "Now, I just need to follow you into the room, and they will all think of us."

"Do you think I look like a gentleman?" Duan Cheng Xuan raised his hand to help her organize them. These things that she had never known before were now known to Gu Mingyan because she wasn't familiar with them. She said in a deep voice, "You don't seem like a good girl either."

"In that case, it's a perfect match." Gu Daiyan simply dropped her arms and let him do whatever he wanted. She added: "You did this for Su Yuwan?"

Duan Chengxuan was slightly dissatisfied with this name. "She's different from you, she's more inclined to be served and dressed up beautifully whenever. He's unlike you, who can't even bear to use a peach wood hairpin when you tie up your hair and leave."

"These are just worldly possessions. Even without them, I can still be admired." Gu Danyan spread her hands casually and looked at her clothes. She said that Cheng Shan and Duan Chengxuan had personally picked these clothes, but in her eyes, they were no different from other clothes.

Duan Chengxuan didn't dare agree with her decision, but he didn't have any intentions of beating her up, and after asking Cheng Shan to look after her, he would deal with the proper matters.

The woman that Gu Cheng had sent had a strong and vigorous build. Ah Zi had said that she was a wild girl that he had picked up on the way here, but this woman had claimed to be born in the Northern Desert and had travelled through many countries. His personality was quite natural, unlike the other girls who had bewitched people's hearts, and it was just like what Duan Chengxuan had thought, where none of them dared approach him.

Ah Zi was good at verbal skills, being able to imitate human voices was the best.

Now that Ah Zi had changed her appearance, wearing the veil, with the corners of her eyes red, one could still vaguely see the red mark under the veil. She pretended to have quarreled with Duan Chengxuan and stood alone at the stern of the boat, weeping softly.

The woman pretended not to notice as she bowed. "Your Highness."

Zi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, but didn't say anything.

The woman didn't leave. Instead, she took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her eyes. She gently said, "Women are pure, but men always hate women who are bullied. If Your Highness really isn't hurt, why don't you explain yourself better than quarrel?"

She looked like a big sister next door.

Ah Zi's eyes rolled about, then she directly opened her mouth in accordance to Duan Cheng Xuan's instructions. "I didn't …"

There were about seventy to eighty percent resemblance to this voice and there were only two people here. The woman gave a hearty laugh and said, "I'm just a wild girl. If Your Highness doesn't mind, it's fine if you speak to me."

Ah Zi immediately feigned vigilance as she coldly stared at her. "You don't look like an ordinary woman. Now you're trying to trick me."

The smile on the woman's face grew wider. She thought to herself that this Gu Liuyan was indeed quite smart.

But so what if she was smart? The dagger in her wide sleeve was already at her waist: "Your Highness, this time, I came only to ask for the prescription. Once the prescription is obtained, I will still use it on you."

This voice sounded somewhat bewitching. Only now did Ah Zi feel that something was wrong, but it was already too late.

The woman grabbed her arm and whispered, "You are very smart. Master is always unwilling to give it up. Thinking about the past ten years, I will certainly not treat you unfairly."

A'Zi opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"In the end, Gu Cheng is still thinking about Yan'er's intelligence." Duan Chengxuan's voice sounded from afar.

Before the woman could respond, the dagger in her hand flew towards Ah Zi's neck. Fortunately, Cheng Shan was quick enough to grab the girl off the boat. The girl smacked her lips and jumped off the back of the boat.

"It's night. The water is so fast that I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up." Duan Chengxuan raised his hand to stop everyone. He looked at the unconscious Ah Zi and thought for a moment before replying, "Send it over to Yan'Er."

If something were to happen to Ah Zi, Gu Danyan would have to make a ruckus with him again.
