Compared to someone who trusted him emotionally, he might as well be a temporary companion on the same front.
Gu Danyan had her own thoughts. She and Su Yu Wan were the only ones left in the carriage. If she counted carefully, she had known Su Yu Wan much longer than the people around her.
Thus, she was able to accurately tell what Su Yuwan was thinking. Just like how she had started her life by observing her facial features, this was the reason why her path to becoming a doctor went smoothly without any problems.
When Su Yuwan found out that her eyes could see, she became even more afraid. She didn't know why Gu Meiyan had chosen her or even protected her, especially that Wan'er's voice that made her feel too intimate and disgusted with her.
On the way back to the village, Gu Danyan also discovered that the atmosphere in the town had changed. Yue Qing guided her, while Su Yuwan helped her into the restaurant, stepping onto the second floor and entering the private room. Currently, Gu Cheng, dressed in brocade clothes, was putting down his cup.
The table was filled with delicacies and all the doors and windows were closed.
Gu Cheng poured some hot water for her, "In any case, the two of you are people who once became my daughter."
"What a coincidence." However, that gaze threatened Gu Cheng to say nothing more. The latter would never offend the current Gu Danyan for the sake of a useless Su Yuwan, so he directly went straight to the point: "Since the Fallen Water Barrier is a paradise, why did you get someone to bring the water into the deep pit just now?"
"There is only a shrine because of the water." Gu Liuyan told Gu Cheng about the flow of water and the Blessed Land one by one, which made the people who were familiar with the news even more suspicious. He then boasted, "Back then, my ancestor had left a message for the imperial family to guard the water, and this water is where the Blessed Land flows."
"However, this isn't the case at the foot of the mountain …" Gu Cheng looked at Gu Daiyan's eyes with interest.
As expected, he knew a lot.
"At the foot of the mountain, the source of the water came a hundred years ago." Gu Liuyan said softly: "It's covered with snow right now, but there is a steady stream of water flowing beneath it. It falls into the water and goes to all the Blessed Land."
Gu Cheng stroked his chin in deep thought as he approached. Gu Pingyan's words were half true and half false, and he also knew that some people had once said that the world's water was completely melted by the wind and snow, resulting in them having a pilgrimage to the Sacred Heavenly Mountain. Not to mention the time when he had people protect the water and only gave it a name. Even if outsiders didn't know about it, how could Gu Cheng not know about it when he was focusing on the Yun clan?
"In my opinion, you are not a man who dreams of immortality."
"I just want to live my whole life, and immortality is just a chance." Gu Danyan held her long sleeves with precision and placed the cup behind her sleeve. Under her lips, she took a sip and gave a look to Su Yuwan, who was beside her.
Su Yu Wan did not understand and just revealed a puzzled expression.
On the opposite side, Gu Cheng had clearly seen the expression on Su Yuwan's face. He looked towards Gu Danyan and said, "Even if you say so, I still wouldn't dare to easily believe you. Moreover, what does this matter have to do with the Yun clan?"
"Since the ancestors of the Yun family knew the method of immortality, why is it that there is no one in the Yun family who can live forever?" I was just curious, that's why I'm asking you. After all, I was born in the Sky Flame and grew up in the Sky Flame, and was different from the Yun Family descendants that were sent to me after I matured. " Gu Danyan put down his sleeves and also put down the empty cup.
Gu Cheng laughed, "You're really smart. I should have held you back then."
"If it wasn't for you letting go that day and giving me up to Duan Chengxuan, I wouldn't have found so much information. It could also be considered a cycle of karma." The corner of Gu Ming Yan's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his hand. "Moreover, I only got half of the Zhu Family's sheepskin scroll, what about the other half?"
"The transaction must be fair."
"The Fallen Water Pass will create a new true shrine, but the only person who can truly live forever is me." Gu Danyan spoke up.
Gu Cheng's expression changed drastically, while Su Yuwan also opened her eyes wide and looked at Gu Daiyan.
This was completely different from what he had said a moment ago. Didn't he say that all of this was fake?
"Are you speaking the truth?" Gu Cheng knocked lightly on the table.
"If you guys want to try together, then you guys can only die. First of all, I don't care if it's just a matter of time or not, I only said that there must be live water under this shrine, and let those people bleed, just to keep their souls. We, the Yun family, have been practicing medicine for generations, and although we can't be considered great monks, we have saved people and entered hell after death. " He only continued, "Secondly, Tyrant's blood was added by the Crimson Dan Fruit back then. Although it wasn't poisoned when it was exposed to the outside world, if it accumulated over time, it would be extremely poisonous and didn't have any effect in stopping the bleeding. If you really wanted to take out your ribs and place it within the wound, you would only be able to die once the poison entered it."
Nonsense, but she had everything.
Even though Gu Cheng would not completely believe it, but after seeing how serious Gu Meiyan was narrating, combining the information he knew, it was not impossible. While he was hesitating, Gu Chuyan opened his mouth again: "Furthermore, no matter if it's Phoenix Rebirth, or putting your life on the line to die, both of you have yet to truly break away from the mortal world. How can you even touch that inhuman being?"
"Have you ever died?" Gu Cheng scoffed disdainfully, not believing him in the slightest.
"Since you dare to come and see me and also know that I, like mother, can use poison, you will naturally bring your trusted aides over. As long as you let him examine my pulse, you will know everything." Gu Danyan stretched out his wrist.
As expected, Gu Cheng called in his trusted aide. Just as he made the connection, the thirty-something year old doctor broke out in a cold sweat, carefully examining Gu Danyan: "Miss …" Isn't there anything wrong with your body? "
"Where did it come from?" Gu Cheng had carefully observed Gu Danyan because he was simply too skinny.
"But the pulse of the girl... "He should be paralyzed on the bed, unable to sit up and open his mouth …" The doctor retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted. He looked at the smile on Gu Tinyan's face and felt a chill run down his spine.
Gu Cheng frowned, his brows knitted so tightly that he could squash a fly in the middle, "What kind of trick is this?"
"Once the poison enters the bone marrow, there will be no cure for it." Gu Danyan pulled up her sleeves a little, then looked at Su Yu Wan beside her: "So, I don't have much time to protect you, so I'd better use it."
Su Yuwan did not understand and could only nod her head blankly.
As matters stood, Gu Cheng somewhat trusted Gu Panyan's words. Who would risk their life to come here and cause such a boring farce? Not to mention that Gu Meiyan was only a few steps away from death.
"Not only has the Yun clan never lived long, but the women who send them to Sky Flame will mostly die at the age of forty." While pushing everything in front of her, Gu Cheng continued to speak: "But ever since the Yun clan's secret trial appeared, their lifespan was no different from an ordinary person's, then what exactly is the trial?"
