Not to mention that the river had already dried up once, so being filled with miasma was truly a dangerous place. If it wasn't for the fact that she and Duan Chengxuan had been here before, they probably wouldn't have known that there was a shrine that was half destroyed.

After leaving the deep pit, the soldiers had already followed her instructions.

Mu Qing, on the other hand, frowned as he examined her pulse: "Using poison to fight poison, it's always using poison."

"Don't worry about it. Compared to that, I just want to know as soon as possible." Gu Liuyan faintly felt that this was not a simple matter.

If Gu Cheng was truly already working for Duan Chengrui now, he had long since lost the city of the new country, as well as any status and position. What was he going to rely on to coerce Duan Chengrui to keep his life?

Furthermore, it wasn't just her misconception. Duan Chengrui seemed to want to hide something from her, as he hadn't heard of any news about the border trials or Sky Fire City for a long time. The situation was still uncertain, so he couldn't make a decision.

"Mu Qing has already made a deal with the 3rd Prince. He will help you take care of your body, as long as you share the method of immortality with him in the future." Feng Jiao walked up, separating Mu Qing and Gu Liuyan without leaving a trace. He then said, "Your Highness, why don't you tell Mu Qing about this discovery one by one so that he can feel at ease."

Gu Danyan glanced at Mu Qing blandly, but she only looked at Su Yu Wan and waved her hand: "I will only tell you one person."

"Why?!" Mu Qing carefully blocked Su Yu Wan behind him.

Su Yu Wan also carefully took a step back, afraid that Gu Liu Yan would do something to her.

"Because I've said it before, I like evil women like Su Yu Wan. If I tell you directly, how can I guard against you poisoning my herbs in the future?" Gu Danyan sneered. Yue Qing, who was beside her, had already raised her hand to grab Su Yuwan. She really wanted Su Yuwan to kill Gu Danyan when she wasn't prepared for it.

The few of them had different thoughts on their minds. Feng Qing glanced at Yue Qing unhappily, but the latter remained unmoved.

Gu Danyan grabbed her wrist. When she checked her pulse, she found that her body was much weaker than before, and she had difficulty walking a few steps due to the torment of the past few days. She only laughed and said, "I won't hurt you."

"What on earth are you planning?!" Su Yu Wan growled in a low voice, but she didn't dare to disturb Feng Yue or Feng Zhu so as to avoid bringing disaster upon herself.

"If I say I will spare your life, I will spare your life for the rest of your life, no matter how much evil you do." Gu Danyan smiled as she embraced her and lightly patted her back as if she was looking at a silver quill, "All men in this world aren't good people. They only treat us like playthings. Why do you have to go against me for a mere Duan Chengxuan?"

Su Yuwan leaned against Gu Danyan's neck. She should have wanted to bite off her flesh.

At this moment, the warm embrace that was hard to come by caused her to be stunned for a moment. She only coldly said, "Don't think that I will believe you just because of this."

"I don't need your trust. I'm only giving you the guarantee to survive in front of Mu Qing." Gu Liuyan loosened his grip on the man and hid his finger behind his back with a slight tremble. She looked at him seriously: "No matter what grudge there is between us, the people outside will only treat us as tribute. It's better to cooperate than to fight against me."

Su Yu Wan gritted her teeth.

However, those feelings towards Duan Chengxuan had long been erased, and the only person she could rely on right now was Mu Qing, who had no right to speak and still harbored evil intentions. After thinking for a long time, before Gu Gouyan went back on her word, she had already said, "I can help you, but once this matter is over, you must guarantee me …"

"I've said it before, I'll let you live a good life." Gu Mingyan leaned against a tree trunk behind him and said self-deprecatingly, "You are the only one who doesn't care about the method of immortality. I can only trust you."

"What do you want me to do after you give me the life-saving talisman?" Su Yuwan was not a fool.

"As long as you tell me the news about the border trial and the Sky Flame, even if you kill Mu Qing to vent your anger, I can help."

"What if I want Duan Chengxuan's life?"

"I'll help you take it, but you'll never be able to touch my words." Gu Danyan pointed to her eyes and winked at Su Yuwan, looking at her dazed expression: "Only you know, my eyes can already see. This is not a blessed place, the mystery of longevity is not mentioned here, it's just empty talk."

"Then just now, you …"

When that time comes, the immortal method will be used to suppress the soul. The poison from the rotten herbs from earlier is useless to me, but if the poison remains in your body, something bad will happen sooner or later. If you betray me, then I'll take this life. Gu Danyan smiled lightly as she approached Su Yuwan. Their noses were almost touching, but Gu Danyan poked her chest lightly with her fingertip: "The knife in your heart at that time, you're already finished."

Su Yuwan swallowed her saliva and nodded seriously.

Soon, they reached an agreement. When they walked out side by side, Gu Pingyan returned to his dazed look from before. As a doctor, she knew what a blind man's eyes looked like and naturally wouldn't be easily found out.

Su Yu Wan's shoulders were still hunched, looking just like she did when she was at Duan Cheng Xuan's side.

Mu Qing took the opportunity to pull Su Yu Wan to her side, grabbed her shoulder and whispered: "Did she do anything to you?"

"If you want to know so much, you might as well ask me instead of her." Her fingertip was pressed against her lips as she said in a low voice: "Wan'Er, you still have to stay by my side every day. If you follow Mu Qing, I'm afraid you won't know how much you have to say."

"Don't call me so hypocritically …"

"In the absence of His Highness the third prince, his orders are everything." Feng Zhu took a step forward, separating Mu Qing from Su Yu Wan: "With Third Prince speaking up for you and your highness, you can rest assured."

Yue Qing pushed Su Yuwan to Gu Qing's side. Yue Qing chained her hands and said, "Gu Cheng will be arriving soon. Why don't you let me bring her along?"

"I told Wan-Er. I was just worried that one of you would know about it if I lost my life one day. If the rest of you knew about it, you wouldn't be able to take responsibility for it." Gu Danyan frantically grabbed Su Yu Wan's arm and pulled her to her side: "You can follow her around, but she's not allowed to leave my side."

Both Feng Jiao and Yue Qing had ugly expressions on their faces. Only Mu Qing's face was pale.

Why did Gu Liuyan choose to believe her former enemy?
