To act willfully before one's friends and relatives, and to maintain manners in front of outsiders.

Even if her eyes were blind, her fingertips would brush across the table at most twice before she would steadily lift the cup, and then wait until the Zhu siblings told them everything that had happened on the sheepskin scroll before she finally cleared her throat and said, "The words of your ancestors are not empty, but with just that, the method of immortality is still rare."

"You seem to have already guessed it to the point where it's pretty close to the truth. How could Gu Cheng not consider you as his target?" Red Scorpion took the lead and said in a dissatisfied tone, "The reason why Big Brother and I have brought our people here is because we hope that you can be careful. Now that we are talking nonsense outside, your Yun clan's flesh and blood are the key to immortality."

"People become idiots when they eat people." She did not even lean her back against the back of the chair. The pain from her lower body was still tolerable, and the slight pain allowed her to think about many things: "You guys seem to care about the authenticity of this matter too?"

Only now did Duan Chengxuan raise his head and shoot a cold glance at the two siblings.

"Of course we care. If what the sheepskin scroll says is true, then our father did not die in vain." The Scarlet Scorpion's eyes were red. Zhu Yan, who was beside her, simply patted her shoulder. He looked at the black scar on her neck and said, "Your body doesn't look too good."

"Ping Chuan." Gu Danyan called out in a low voice.

"What orders do you have, Miss?" Ping Chuan revealed the bone fan in his hand. His eyes, however, were looking at Zhu Yan with a hint of warning.

"Have someone take good care of the two of them. Before the immortal matters are resolved, there is no need to release them." Gu Danyan put down the cup in his hand, and before the two of them could explain themselves, he said, "If you guys didn't come looking for me because of this matter, I can trust you guys, but regarding this matter, people's desires are limited. In order to prevent you guys from going down the wrong path, it's not worth it."

"So, you want to put us under house arrest for our own good?" The Scarlet Scorpion slapped the table and stood up.

"Who told your brother to care about my health? Either he covets my beauty, or he thinks my Yun clan's flesh is dry or not. Choose one?" Gu Daiyan also opened his mouth.

Duan Chengxuan, who was beside them, almost choked to death from a mouthful of tea. When he raised his head, he saw Zhu Yan grabbing onto the Scarlet Scorpion's arm with an ashen expression.

"So, are you after Yan'er's beauty or …"

Before Duan Chengxuan could even finish speaking, Gu Pingyan firmly held onto his hand on the armrest with all his strength and said, "Don't think that I can't find you just because I can't see you."

Duan Chengxuan chose to remain silent, then he held Gu Liuyan's hand and pressed down on her palm in hopes that she would temporarily be able to pass the topic to him. The latter obviously relaxed his shoulders as he lazily leaned on her, waiting for Duan Chengxuan to speak.

"You should know better than if we accept your good intentions that when you ask that question, your purpose is not simple enough. "Before this, it is also Yan'Er's duty to be the leader to calm you down." As Duan Chengxuan spoke like this, his other hand lightly closed Gu Danyan's wide sleeves, then pulled her up. "Let's go see him. Mother has already given him a name."

Gu Liuyan rarely got off the bed, but even though she was in Duan Chengxuan's embrace, she was still subconsciously looking at the ground. Although she couldn't see anything, her fingers were still tightly clamped on his arm. "No need to walk so slowly."

"Then I'll carry you over?" Duan Chengxuan slowed down his steps, and when he arrived at the doorstep, he said, "Lift your foot."

Gu Danyan raised her foot carefully and let out a sigh of relief when she crossed the threshold. She was not used to the darkness at all.

Duan Chengxuan didn't notice the Zhu siblings' current appearances, so he directly left with Gu Danyan.

Meanwhile, Pingchuan sent someone to send the two to the courtyard of the magistrate court to take care of them. The Scarlet Scorpion struggled the entire time, but Zhu Yan's face remained livid from beginning to end. "This woman …"

"Miss is wary of everyone, you just happened to give her a reason to be suspicious." Ping Chuan didn't doubt Zhu Yan's ambition in the least, but the bone fan in his hand closed with a 'pah' sound. He followed closely behind Zhu Yan, "A small clan like you all care so much about this sort of thing. Who knows how many other people are eyeing this outside like a tiger?"

In the border region, the martial arts people had gathered here to investigate.

As for those who held high positions, they were also unwilling to spend all their money just to get it.

Not to mention the emperors of the other kingdoms were eyeing it covetously.

Even the things they needed and the methods they used were hard to find. However, countless people had their heads broken because of this, and only the poor people who lived without a name tomorrow could see the dirt under their feet.

Ping Chuan didn't understand why they were so persistent, but he instead saw Gu Pingyan carefully carrying the small child into his embrace under Duan Chengxuan's urging. She nervously moved her two arms, afraid that she would bump into the small child.

Zhu Yan also looked at the child in Gu Tinyan's arms in shock. "That is …"

"Miss's child." Ping Chuan walked beside Zhu Yan, blocking his vision without leaving a trace. He then said, "Compared to immortal medicine, it's better to think of your future lover and children."

Zhu Yan looked away, lowering his head in silence.

The little guy was mumbling something, and from time to time, he would smack his lips. His small hands would even touch Gu Danyan's chin, making Gu Danyan laugh: "If I saw it, I would definitely be very happy."

"Right." Duan Chengxuan walked to the side of Gu Meiyan and put one hand around her waist, while the other hand held onto the back of her hand as he lightly dragged her child along. "Mother said that the word 'Yi' is not bad."

"Yizhi?" Gu Daiyan waved her arm in surprise: "What a nice name! Mother is indeed a knowledgeable person."

Duan Chengxuan's gaze was fixated on Gu Danyan's body, and he retracted a lot of his arm before he said, "Wait until autumn, then we'll leave. At that time, your eyes might be able to see something."

"Then let's leave Yi Zizai in Er Dan. This place is very safe, and Qing Qing is still very young. It wouldn't be bad if we can return to Navy Tide after a few years …" Gu Daiyan explained in detail about his future plans.

However, under such a stable lifestyle, there were various forces that were ready to make their move. They were hoping to obtain immortality from the outside war.

The withered leaves and the chill suddenly rose up. The autumn rain fell on the ground with a pitter patter, smashing the fallen leaves to the ground.

However, those black veined patterns were hidden underneath her clothes. She stood under the eaves and hugged Yi Ze, reluctantly kissing him on the forehead, but could only vaguely see the color of her skin. She whispered: "Yi Ze, can you let Grandma accompany you every day in the future?"

"If you don't want to go, then stay here." Duan Chengxuan was currently hugging her in his embrace, and tied her cloak from behind.

"Even if I don't want to, this matter should come to an end."

She must have come to this world to resolve this matter from the very beginning.
