When he left, Gu Daiyan only chose to stay by Duan Chengyu's side, and gently placed her hand on his arm.

In his heart, Duan Chengrui was perturbed. Perhaps as long as he knew a little more about Gu Daiyan, this kind of mistake would not become a double-edged sword, and his love for Gu Daiyan had long been thrown into the abyss.

On the contrary, Duan Chengxuan walked calmly by his side.

However, he knew Gu Tinyan better than anyone. It was not because she was too suspicious, but because she had too much information, and because she was always smart enough to link everything together to form a correct conclusion.

However, all love was just an intelligence to her. She could choose to agree to it, or she could overturn all rejection.

But these would be the last straw.

"I don't seem to understand what you said just now." Duan Chengyu's soft voice broke the silence.

"You don't need to understand. What I mean is, compared to these two men who only know how to talk about love, I trust simple people like you more." Gu Danyan smiled and grabbed his hand, "Someone who wants to distract me with their Overlord's Meal definitely wouldn't want to think about immortality for such a long time."

"I know how to hit people too." The corner of Duan Chengyu's mouth twitched, he could only say that back then, he was young and arrogant, and he had even done many embarrassing things with Qi Lin.

"In a bit, send me to the Hall of Mercy." Gu Danyan lightly tugged on Duan Chengyu's arm, then said, "I'll be leaving with Third Prince in a few days."

"Didn't you just distrust them?" Duan Chengyu frowned, he suddenly felt that all these years of growth was in vain.

Initially, he thought that he would at least be able to participate in the matters between them, but the truth was that Duan Chengxuan and Gu Pingyan mercilessly tossed him out of their minds and didn't have any intention of explaining in detail.

"I do trust you, but do you have the ability to help me?"

"We are no longer friends."

"Qingze is your little brother, and I'm Qingze's mother. You still need to call me aunt."

"…" Duan Chengyu obediently shut his mouth. When Gu Mingyan was smiling and teasing him, it could be because Gu Daiyan's heart was in a mess and she needed to vent, or because she was just thinking of some new idea.

And now, she was venting her dissatisfaction.

As he understood this, Duan Chengyu carefully held onto Gu Danyan: "How about I let Ruo Li follow you?"

"Are you trying to spy on me?" Gu Liuyan raised an eyebrow and slowed down her pace. She carefully grabbed hold of Duan Chengyu's hand, tiptoed, and whispered into his ear.

His voice was so soft that Duan Chengxuan couldn't hear it clearly.

However, after being stunned for a moment, Duan Chengyu's expression darkened: "You will receive your retribution."

"Before that, I had already achieved my goal." Gu Daiyan replied with a smile.

Duan Chengyu had a mournful expression and could only muster up the courage to bring Gu Daiyan away from under Duan Chengrui and Duan Chengxuan's noses. The relationship between Duan Chengyu and Gu Daiyan could be considered better since the two of them had once stood up for each other before.

But as Duan Chengxuan watched the two of them leave while talking and laughing, he stopped just like Duan Chengrui at his side. "Before Yan'er arrived, she met with the uncontrollable Imperial Concubine Hui. I remember that she loves the White Yulan Flower the most, right?"

"You think I was the one who instigated the change in her?" Duan Chengrui's face was equally cold. "If I had any concubine in the rear palace who could become my backer, then I wouldn't need to rely on my hands to climb to this place today."

Duan Chengxuan had already been drenched by the autumn rain from his sleeves, so the two eunuchs who were holding up the umbrellas for their highness didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

After pausing for a long time, Duan Chengxuan finally spoke in a soft voice, "Yan'er won't choose you."

"But you are not worthy of her. If you had any conscience at the time, she would not have been so cautious." Duan Chengrui waved the umbrella in the hands of the young eunuch behind him and directly stepped into the rain. "Imperial Uncle, our Duan Clan has never truly and purely liked a girl, so we can always taste the bitter fruit."

As a result, Duan Chengrui had never asked Gu Mingyan to wholeheartedly love him, and accompany him by his side.

The best way to love her was to let go of her and let her fulfill her heart's desire.

From start to finish, Duan Chengxuan stood on the spot and flicked away the droplets of water on his heavy sleeves.

This was also the first time that Duan Chengxuan had discovered that his comprehension was actually inferior to Duan Chenrui's.

From the very beginning, he hadn't truly discovered his lover's methods. Even Duan Cong didn't know about it. Instead, he had held onto the idea of the Sovereign King opening his own branches and spreading the leaves, allowing countless women to conceive his children.

Duan Chengyu sent Gu Danyan to the Hall of Relief, and helped her take off all those complicated earpiece headdress headgear one by one.

He took off the luxurious cloak that covered her shoulders and the playful smile on his face just now. He said in a low voice, "You clearly know that everything that Hufei told you is fake. Why did you still treat Imperial Uncle like that …"

"Not only did I make them think that I was disheartened by them, I also did not tell them that there was a way for me to regain my sight." Gu Mingyan smoothed out the heavy clothes on her body, and sat down with Duan Chengyu in one hand, "I've never betrayed anyone before. It's just that I need to obtain fairness. This fairness will make others believe me. Do you understand?"

Duan Chengyu frowned and shook his head.

As expected, speaking to someone whose heart did not want to communicate meant that he was tired.

After calming down the slight unhappiness in his heart, Gu Pingyan repeated once more, "There are many different theories on immortality, but only a few people truly know the steps, and I can be considered to be the one who knows the most. When I lean towards Duan Chengxuan or Duan Chengrui, no one on the other side will provide me with any information …"

Pa — — "Duan Chengyu slapped the table and spoke," So you can only clarify the relationship between the two sides, and show that you are simply looking for a complete secret recipe in order to live forever. They will be willing to share it with you, because only you can accurately piece it together to form a true ceremony.

Gu Liuyan heaved a sigh of relief: "That's true."

"But why didn't you tell the imperial uncle?"

"Because Duan Chengxuan is Mu Qing's love rival, I have to get away from him in exchange for the information in Mu Qing's hands." Gu Danyan quickly explained and grabbed Duan Chengyu's hand, "I will only tell you my thoughts. When you meet a ghost, you can tell him. If you promise me, you can only tell him."

"Alright." He readily agreed to it. Duan Chengyu believed in Gu Daiyan's reasoning.

"When that time comes, maybe ghosts will tell you a little secret. You just have to wait and see." Gu Liuyan suddenly laughed and patted his shoulder. He felt Duan Chengyu's body stiffen, and a person's footsteps could be heard in his ears.

Gu Liuyan heard Old mister He's voice: "I found an ancient recipe."
