"So mother, why did you bring me here …"

Gu Danyan came back to his senses.

This place has been recorded in the Yun clan's records as a sacred land, and normally, only those who marry into the Imperial Family or the Patriarch can come here. Originally, I should have brought you here a long time ago, but Duan Cong was worried about Duan Cheng Xuan and thought that you loved him. Yun Xiao placed the wooden box behind the broken stone slab.

Gu Liuyan nodded.

Although Duan Cong had always been indulgent towards Duan Cheng Xuan, in her heart, she was sure that Duan Cheng Xuan, who was with Su Yu Wan, would do anything for the sake of what she wanted.

"In that case, if I wasn't with you, you wouldn't even tell me about it."

Duan Chengxuan pulled her into his embrace, then waited until they left the cave before he softly whispered into her ear, "Those words didn't appear in any of the ancient texts."

"Those are the words of my homeland, my true homeland." He purposely bit down on the last three words a little too hard. Without waiting for Yun Su to pack up and leave, Gu Pingyan had already raised his hand to press on the back of Duan Cheng Xuan's neck, imprinting a kiss on his cold lips: "You are the second person to know about this."

Duan Chengxuan was slightly stunned. He still wanted to deepen the kiss, but he had already heard Yun Dian's voice, so he could only let go of her and continue asking in a low voice. "Who's the first one?"

"Grandfather." Gu Danyan pointed to his nose and continued, "Mother and father will never know. You taught me these words, right?"

As expected, this Gu Liuyan was not like the Gu Liuyan from before.

Duan Chengxuan had never believed in the stories of ghosts and gods, but now that he saw Gu Danyan affectionately run over to Yun Wan's side, he couldn't help but laugh as he muttered to himself, "It was indeed taught by me."

"What I said was correct, right? These words were what I saw in the books of Prince Jing's estate." Gu Danyan blinked at him and continued, "After I leave, I will be loyal to you. King Jing, shouldn't you fulfill my wish?"

"Of course." Duan Cheng Xuan withdrew the smile on her face.

Yun Que didn't know if the two of them treated these serious matters as entertainment or if it really was a game. He only lightly patted Gu Liuyan's arm: "You're becoming more and more mischievous now. I haven't taught you a lesson about Ai Xu …"

The rest of the journey seemed to have been recited by Yun Su.

When they returned to Blackwater Town, Gu Danyan didn't even know what those words meant. She just translated the modern script and handed it to the Feng Shui master from Wind Listening Pavilion.

A few days later, a mountain fire was set on the mountain, which continued to burn for three whole days.

Yun Dian also disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a letter to Sky Flame to report to Duan Cong.

Gu Liuyan woke up and was still awake. She was thinking about how she would have to go to the border to deal with Su Yu Wan in the next few days when the man next to her held her head and whispered in her ear: "Sleep a little longer."

Gu Mingyan leaned against her soft pillow, half-squinting, and grabbed the material on his shoulder. "What happened?"

Duan Chengxuan's soft laughter entered his ears, following that, the bedding on his body was lifted up as he said, "Gu Cheng's men snuck in. They probably know that a lot of things were burned in that mountain, so it's not in vain for Auntie to bury a few jin of heavenly lightning."

"No wonder you want to take advantage of the thunderstorm." Gu Liuyan was slightly dazed from being pampered by her, and he leaned into Duan Cheng Xuan's embrace. "When the news spreads out that the immortal medicinal formula has been lost, there will definitely be people who will believe it."

Duan Chengxuan looked at her helplessly.

Before this person could wake up, he already had one plan after another running through his mind.

However, the sound of her steady breathing entered his ears, and Duan Chengxuan relaxed before quietly slipping off the bed. The people outside the door had already been subdued, and their mouths were stuffed with all sorts of things without being able to make any sound.

"We can't capture all of them. Put them back. Tell Gu Cheng that as long as he dares to do anything for Su Yuwan, he doesn't need their heads or the throne." Duan Chengxuan was wearing thin inner clothes, but his killing intent shocked the few assassins so much that they were slightly afraid.

"Prepare the carriage. We'll leave in two hours."

After throwing down those words, Duan Chengxuan turned around and closed the door.

Cheng Shan thought for a moment and instructed them, "Quickly prepare them. Send these back with the message. Also, this elixir of life will explode along with the mountain. Don't even think about it."

These last words were clearly meant for the assassins.

When Duan Chengxuan returned to his room, he saw that Gu Danyan was still sleeping soundly, so he thought of tormenting others. Besides his chest and abdomen, he had examined almost everything else carefully, but he did not find any additional wounds.

He raised his head and looked into Gu Danyan's clear eyes: "Damn scoundrel."

"I really want to be a hooligan." Duan Chengxuan sat on the edge of the bed and held Gu Danyan's hand …

"Rogue!" Gu Danyan retracted his hand and cursed in a low voice, then turned his body with his back facing Gu Shenwei.

Duan Cheng Xuan endured the hardships. Since Gu Qing Yan was unwilling, he naturally wouldn't force her.

The two of them exchanged a few words in the room, then got up to wash up and eat breakfast. Gu Pingyan had been forced by Duan Chengxuan to eat slowly these past few days, so he wasn't slow either. He was the only one who was forced to be fed in front of his servants.

Just as he finished eating, Gu Daiyan was about to go out for a walk when he saw the Lady Boss knock her pipe on the counter and say: "Miss, you're leaving today. Could you do me a favor?"

"What kind of help?" Gu Mingyan turned her head to the side. She knew that this slightly plump Lady Boss was a fierce character. Even Yun Wan had said that she killed people without blinking her eyes when she was young. She was a true bandit from the desert.

"Master's poison isn't that satisfying. Please leave me some good stuff. I will definitely cook dishes for you." The Lady Boss giggled, showing her white teeth. The employees beside her ran to the backyard in fright.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you first?" Gu Liuyan took over Duan Chengxuan's bowl and asked back, "Since this Black Water Town belongs to me in the future and we even need to train death soldiers, we can't let someone die here first."

The Lady Boss slightly narrowed her eyes. She was truly a bit angry when she saw a few faint yellow paper bags fall on the table. "Since mother found you, I can help you. However, if I see that you placed the wrong plate, your life would be gone."

"Little girl, you don't have the ability." The Lady Boss sneered and put away those small paper bags.

"I'm sorry, this paper packet is poisonous." Gu Danyan put down the bowl in his hands, carefully wiped his fingertips with the handkerchief, and then used the silver needle to touch the bowl he had held, turning it into a light purple color.

The Lady Boss's expression immediately changed.

Gu Danyan, on the other hand, took the antidote calmly and smashed the empty jade bottle on the ground, "I kill, but I also don't allow people to kill. If you want to kill now, then you should be prepared to be killed."

"I don't want this poison." The Lady Boss swallowed her saliva. In the end, she was still afraid.

The next moment, another paper packet landed in her hands, "This is the antidote for the poison. First, you need to cure yourself, and then use this poison. If you don't have enough, ask me for it.

"Yes." The Lady Boss was dissatisfied, but she was still afraid that Gu Tinyan would really kill her.
