"So that's how it is."
Gu Danyan raised his eyebrows and poured himself another cup of warm water.
It was not true love, but there were many benefits to be added to the blood relatives. The old man must have found out about Aizi's ambition and the relationship with Princess Aldan, so he took the risk to come here. On the other hand, he only dared to trust Aizi because she was the only descendant of his daughter.
After all, from what he had heard just now, he seemed to love his daughter a lot.
"Since Ai Yan has been living in Jiang Yan for a long time, he naturally knows that my clan has done a lot of things for the emperor in secret. Now that Ai Qi is willing to come out and help me block the hidden arrows, I came over to ask a question." As Elder Xu spoke, she placed the jade pendant that Ai Qi had once worn onto the table and gently pushed it forward. "Do you want my Jiang Yan's homeland to be devoured, or do you want it to be rebuilt for me?"
"What choice does Jiang Yan have today?" Gu Liuyan laughed: "Speaking of my grudge with Ai Qi, I don't want to swear that I will protect you." The fact is, even if a thousand of your family members were turned into human piles by Ai Yan, I wouldn't even bat an eye. "
"You and Ai Qi describe it very differently."
Both of the Void Stage Elders' hands returned to their sleeves, but there was a strange smile on their faces.
"Of course it's different. When she's useful, I would naturally greet her with a smile and agree to everything. But now that she's trapped in prison and unable to take care of herself, why would I waste another person's life just for her?" Gu Mingyan lightly coughed a few times. The warm water entered her throat, making him feel a lot more comfortable.
After being silent for a long time, Gu Danyan even took a small bite of the pastries.
After staring at each other for a long time, the old man's face finally changed. "Little girl, since you had an agreement with Ai Qi, you can't go back on your words now …"
"I promised to help her, but now that you want to borrow the power of your granddaughter, it was not an agreement between us." Gu Danyan put down the pastries and splashed the remaining half cup of warm water on the ground with a smile, "My words are like spilled water, when will I break my promise?"
"Just how are you willing to help?" The Void Elder frowned.
"It's better to beg than to beg." Gu Liuyan pressed the cup against the stone table with a smack as her eyes turned cold: "If you think Ai Yan isn't worthy, then you should take advantage of this chaotic world and defeat him. If you think the world is going to change, then why don't you personally push him down? It's not my turn to interfere."
The girl in front of him clearly had soft facial features. She looked really charming.
He was more upright and valiant than any man he had ever seen. His pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to have an extra sharpness to them, and he enunciated each word powerfully: "If you only wait for others to save you from being carried away, you'll only be grabbing onto a piece of wood."
Floating Wood?
The old man clenched his fists tightly, the people who had been immersed in power for decades had all been smoothed out, but now that the chaotic world had forced him to stand out for his family, his eyes shined even brighter with Gu Jinlong's words, but he still remained cautious: "My family only has thousands, and that Ai Yan …"
"If you want to do it, the heavens and the earth will be yours." If you are afraid, you can piss your pants in broad daylight. With such hesitation, Senior, where did you get the courage and boldness to ask for a thousand gold from me? " Gu Danyan sneered coldly. The coldness in his eyes had completely faded and was filled with contempt. His sleeves slid across the Void Stage Elder's eyes, leaving only the opened curtain to confuse his eyes.
"It is difficult for a single person to shake the heavens and earth. However, don't forget that the person you want to shake is only a small person."
With these words, Gu Danyan stepped onto the gravel path and walked quickly towards the Gu Sheng courtyard. He didn't waste any time, nor did he play any love cards, and he didn't even ask Gu Shenwei to rebel.
Yue Qing looked at the man in front of her, who was dressed in luxurious clothing, with a woman's bun in his hair, and a woman's voice as gentle as water. She looked at the man in front of her, dressed in luxurious clothing, with a woman's bun in his hair, and a woman's voice as gentle as water.
"I don't know about cooperation. I only know about benefits and expenses." Gu Liuyan's eyes were cold: "If I had to save his clan with the lives of ten thousand people, it would be no different from not knowing the seriousness of the situation. If he rebelled by himself, it would be a matter of course, the cycle of life and death, even if a thousand people died under Ai Yan's sword, would be a retribution for not saying a word to their ancestors."
"Then where are you going now?" Yue Qing subconsciously rubbed her neck, feeling the cold that even she, the assassin, was slightly afraid.
"Let's go to the Ancient Ascension Sect and see how many timid and cowardly clans like Elder Xu still exists. I will naturally list them all and slaughter them in the future. Otherwise, these villains will only repeat the same mistake a hundred years from now." Gu Shenwei suddenly sneered, his footsteps becoming even faster.
As for Yue Qing, she carefully followed him, her heart at a loss for words.
In these past few years, she had collected quite a few of Gu Danyan's movements and actions for Duan Chengrui. From the moment she was blinded by jealousy to the gradually maturing situation, she increasingly felt that Gu Liuyan did not have the ability to make people believe in her, but rather that she had struck their weak points multiple times. Her back was never bent, and she knew how to be careful, and she also knew how to give up on the big picture.
After walking a few steps, they had yet to reach Gu Sheng's courtyard when Gu Danyan stopped again. He turned around and looked at her, "Yue Qing."
"I'm here." This was the first time she called him by his name, and Yue Qing always maintained a dignified and cold face.
"You tried to kill me several times before, but in the past two years, you've grown even calmer." Gu Danyan stood in front of her, sizing her up: "And now that I'm engaged to him, you don't want to kill me?"
"Your Highness, why do you say that? I naturally do not dare to use you to anger the third prince." Yue Qing looked embarrassed.
"I hope you will treat him the same as before." Gu Daiyan smiled helplessly, not caring that Yue Qingming did not understand the meaning behind those words. She only took a few steps forward and saw a familiar figure. She immediately waved at Yue Qing, "Go and pack up my things."
Yue Qing nodded silently, and saw that Duan Chengxuan was not far away. She took another glance at Gu Daiyan before she left.
She didn't know what Gu Danyan's words meant, but she was curious as to how this woman would explain it to Duan Chengxuan.
Hidden behind a pillar, Duan Chengxuan only raised his eyes and didn't expose her. He only walked forward and embraced her in a place where it was possible for someone to pass by at any time, then lowered his head to look at her eyes that were still filled with coldness. "What you said just now was truly exciting."
I and Void Elder had only spoken a few words, you have heard everything." "Gu Mingyan originally wanted to call him uncle. But now that she thought about it, someone as stubborn as Duan Chengxuan who had already decided not to hurt her, she would only be shamelessly taught a lesson by a man. When the time comes, she would be the one to lose face.
"If I didn't listen, how could I have fallen in love with you?" Duan Chengxuan's fingertip held tightly onto her back. "Before I get angry from embarrassment, tell me what to do next."
