"But this is an incomplete ancient recipe." Since she was blind, she could only list out the recipes one by one. Duan Chengyu, who was with Qi Rou and knew of many things, frowned as he said, "These medicinal ingredients are all very expensive. Although they aren't particularly hard to buy, they won't be available in more than two or three months."

After all, these medicinal herbs were scattered all over the world.

"This is only a portion of it. According to the missing parts, there should be three or four medicinal ingredients remaining. If I can find it within half a year, it is not impossible to find it." He Jin sighed heavily. "But I'm afraid you won't be able to wait that long."

"I don't need to wait that long either." Gu Danyan swirled the cup in his hand and then said, "I came here today hoping that you would help me with the acupuncture. I can't continue to lose my sight."

"But your eyes …"

"My way." Gu Danyan raised the corner of his mouth: "As long as you are willing to do this for me in secret, I will personally tell you the way. However, Fourth Prince, you should leave first."

After being ordered to leave, Duan Chengyu was indifferent as well, but he was curious as to why Gu Liuyan wanted him to tell only Spirits and Demons, and what was that little secret?

Duan Chengrui waited in the mansion for three days, but he was informed that Gu Tinyan was staying in the Hall of Reparation and would not leave her house.

As for Duan Chengyu's group, they openly protected him, and even Ruo Li, the person they trusted the most, was sent over to protect him.

Duan Chengxuan had sent Hong Xiao to the temporary residence of Prince Zong Ping to inquire about this matter, but he was only told that everything that had happened during these three days was merely an agreement between Duan Chengyu and Gu Daiyan as friends.

"Your Highness, do you want me to bring my men and break through?" Hong Xiao stomped his feet anxiously.

"No need, I'll go personally." Duan Chengxuan didn't expect that one day, his most trusted nephew would keep his mouth shut. It just so happened that Gu Daiyan had this ability to stop Yu'er's mouth.

He brought his men and stood in front of the Hall of Relief. He thought that they would have a war of words, but Gu Pingyan, dressed in black, had already walked out of the room with He Jin. He Jin looked at the man in front of him and told Gu Daiyan, "King Jing is here to see you."

"Eh?" Gu Liuyan's expression looked bad. She tilted her head and thought for a moment before asking: "You need something from me?"

"Just to confirm your thoughts and feelings." Duan Chengxuan walked up and took the cloak from Hong Xiao. He placed it on her shoulders and said, "Let's proceed according to the original plan."

Gu Danyan's pupils slightly constricted. She only smiled lightly as she held onto Duan Chengxuan's hand that was tying her cloak. "First do your own thing, then come and find me."

After putting the cloak back into Duan Chengxuan's hands, Gu Daiyan continued to grasp He Jin and said, "Could I trouble you to send someone to the Third Prince's Mansion to deliver a letter?"

Red veins could be seen in Hong Xiao's eyes as Chengshan, who was behind him, stopped him with an expressionless face.

Duan Chengxuan put away the cloak with a dark expression and sneered. "You're really a woman with a water personality."

"Same here." Gu Danyan looked in his direction and sneered.

When Duan Chengrui sent his men over, Duan Chengxuan was currently angrily leading his men away.

Duan Chengrui retrieved Gu Danyan as he wished. He felt that between the two of them, Gu Danyan would always choose to believe him.

However, upon returning to Prince Jing's mansion, Hong Xiao took the cloak from Duan Chengxuan's hands and was indignant. "Prince, she isn't worth it for you to treat her like that. You've done too many things for her, but she …"

"Our plan has not changed from beginning to end." Duan Chengxuan painfully rubbed the center of his brows, then said in a low voice, "I was the one who wavered my resolve midway."

Hong Xiao was still at a loss. Cheng Shan took the cloak from him and said, "Your Highness can now return the cloak to you accurately."

Accurate...

However, the latter had already revealed the same satisfied smile she had when she was together with Gu Mingyan. The angry expression she had earlier now only contained her confidence as she said, "The plan is as usual, she will go and resolve the matter of eternal life, while I will go and resolve the matter at the border. Moreover, I seem to know the purpose of her asking me to help Lai Xuan."

"What?" Hong Xiao asked curiously.

"The art of immortality and a lost jigsaw puzzle." Duan Chengxuan propped his chin up with one hand and carefully recalled the words that Gu Danyan had spoken to him back then, then he softly said, "Navy Tide has three or four Blessed Lands, and among them, the Heavenly Mountain Mountain and Fallen Water Pass were discovered and used by people, while Erdan also has three or four Blessed Lands. At that time, I sent people to guard Tyrant's shrine, but no one has been able to go over, while Emperor Erdan protected the rest of the Blessed Lands.

What he had thought to be a war had now changed its nature, and everything was now easy to analyze.

"That's why there are definitely people on Ayane's side who have access to the steps, but at the same time, the information everyone has on them is mixed …" As Hong Xiao spoke, his voice also gradually became softer.

"Therefore, the rumors in the Three Kingdoms are different. However, if all the clues can be collected, then a complete and fake method of immortality will be pieced together." Duan Chengxuan smiled. "Collect everything, tell the world that the true method of immortality is concealed within, then follow the wrong steps within it; no matter what, they will fail. But like this, the people of the three nations, and even the people of the entire land, will discover that this is a huge scam."

Find all the clues, just to make all the people believe.

By the time everyone believed that this would be the real method, Gu Mingyan would use actual action to prove that all of this was just a scam.

Then the true purpose could be achieved, and the kings and emperors of the nations fighting for it would put away their fangs and blades.

"Since that's the case, we'll set off for the border crossing tomorrow." Duan Chengxuan made up his mind.

"Then that prince will follow the third …" Hong Xiao was suddenly worried.

"As long as I pull away from Yan'Er, she can obtain Duan Chengrui's trust." Duan Chengxuan quickly walked past Hong Xiao and added, "I believe her as well."

At this moment, Gu Danyan, who was in the room, changed into those expensive clothes again. He held the ball of fur in his hand and listened to the rustling sounds of the maidservants, and heard the sound of Duan Chengrui walking over to him.

"Let's go to the water gate." Duan Chengrui held her hand.

Gu Danyan obediently followed him and got up. She placed the ball of fur on the bed and said, "I think we should give the ball of fur to Qi Rou to raise. But since the ball of fur has its own nest, let someone carry it to her."

"What about Ah Zi and Ping Chuan?" Duan Chengrui held her ice-cold hand, feeling uneasy about the matter of Huaifei from beginning to end.

"I can't let them leave. I don't want my mother to know what I've done." As Gu Danyan spoke, he followed Duan Chengrui and left the Third Prince's estate.

As for Yue Qing, she carefully examined the nest of the ball of fur before stuffing it into the cotton bag. She didn't notice that underneath the snow-white fur, there was another color that looked out of place.
