Everyone was at a loss as to what to do about Gu Shiyi's sudden action. Only Situ Yu remained abnormally calm.
"Eleven, what's wrong with you, don't be rash!"
Especially Situ Jing, he worriedly shouted at Gu Shiyi. Qian Mochen was even more so, had no idea where to put his hands, wanting to snatch the dagger from Gu Shiyi's hands. However, he was afraid that it would worsen the situation.
"Let him go!"
Gu Shiyi's voice was very cold, and her heart also suddenly hurt. Gu Shiyi's words were directed at him, and even the way she looked at him was extremely cold.
"Let him go!"
Gu Shiyi's voice came out again, at the same time, the dagger against his neck became deeper, to the point that Situ Jing could even see the wound on the dagger.
Situ Jing had a face full of disbelief that Gu Shiyi actually used her own life to threaten him, just for Situ Yu!
The dagger on Gu Shiyi's neck became tighter and tighter, and traces of blood started to appear.
With a clang, the sword in Situ Jing's hand dropped to the ground, and his two arms that were holding Situ Yu dropped down powerlessly.
Seeing that, Gu Shiyi immediately walked to Situ Yu's side, looking at him with a face full of worry. At the same time, he did not forget to look at his enemy, and glanced at Situ Jing.
This gaze once again caused Situ Jing's heart to sink into despair. The eyes he looked at Gu Shiyi with, were also filled with despair.
Situ Yu brought Gu Shiyi and left, while the underground workshop also started to show signs of collapsing, but Situ Jing's face was still as ashen as before, without any signs of moving.
Helpless, Qian Mochen could only knock him out. Putting him on his shoulder, he sprinted towards the exit.
Two hours later, looking at this unfamiliar environment and the Situ Yu beside him, Gu Shiyi actually couldn't remember why she was here. Here, was an extremely simple and crude small wooden house.
But she clearly remembered that today, she was wearing a goose yellow silk dress. She also remembered that today, she was using a dagger to point at Situ Yu's neck, but why did it seem like she was dreaming? Everything had changed, even Situ Jing was no longer there.
Gu Shiyi looked at Situ Yu who was smiling gently at him with a face full of vigilance. She was afraid that all of these changes were related to Situ Yu.
"What's going on?"
Gu Shiyi jumped down from the brick bed and opened up a distance between her and Situ Yu.
"Shiyier, I said that you are mine, and you can only be mine!"
With his hands behind his back, Situ Yu walked towards Gu Shiyi with a face full of confidence. At the same time, Gu Shiyi kept leaning towards the back.
"Master, the food is ready!"
Xiao Zhi's respectful voice suddenly sounded from outside the door, but it sounded extremely unfamiliar to Gu Shiyi.
Situ Yu directly walked to Gu Shiyi's side, and after giving her a look, he walked out of the door. After thinking about it for a while, Gu Shiyi followed him out.
Gu Shiyi looked at Xiao Zhi, but saw that Xiao Zhi acted as if he did not see her, and followed him into a small hut at the side.
Gu Shiyi was still standing at her original position, unable to understand why she was there. At the same time, she was also analyzing her current situation.
"Miss, the lord wants to invite you in for a meal!"
Xiao Zhi's voice once again appeared beside Gu Shiyi's ears, interrupting her thoughts. Gu Shiyi looked at Xiao Zhi sideways, as if he didn't know her, and she was still the same Xiao Zhi. However, her attitude had changed drastically, no longer as respectful.
"Xiao Zhi."
After Xiao Zhi finished spreading the news, she turned around and was about to leave, but she was stopped by Gu Shiyi.
Xiao Zhi stopped and turned her head, frowning with a face full of impatience.
"It's fine, continue on!"
Gu Shiyi's lips slightly opened. With just that one glance, she had already understood everything. It seemed like it wouldn't be an easy matter for her to leave this place either.
When Situ Jing woke up, Qian Mochen was already standing guard by his side. However, the moment he saw Qian Mochen, his first reaction was to smash his fist towards Qian Mochen's face.
If he had known that the red-clothed Ghost-Masked Man was Qian Mochen, he wouldn't have made that kind of plan with Gu Shiyi. He wouldn't have agreed to let Gu Shiyi take the risk, he wouldn't have watched Gu Shiyi become like this right before his eyes.
Qian Mochen was so stunned by Situ Jing's punch, blood instantly flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
"If you still haven't vented your anger, you can continue!"
Qian Mochen acted as if nothing had happened, and looked at Situ Jing with an extremely calm expression.
This matter was his fault in the first place, if not for him concealing it, how could such a result have occurred? When Gu Shiyi turned into such a state, even his heart did not feel well, let alone Situ Jing?
"Speak, who are you to me?"
From the start to end, he had always viewed Qian Mochen as his best friend and brother, and had always thought that he was only a Pavilion Master of the Thousand Star Pavilion. But until now, he was still the second Pavilion Master of the Situ Yu Red Cloaked Sect.
"If I told you that I'm not anyone's person, would you believe me?"
Qian Mochen laughed bitterly, his face full of helplessness.
"I was originally the seventeenth prince of Great Yu Kingdom, but as soon as I could remember, I was sent to the Great Xia Kingdom as a proton."
Situ Jing did not answer, but continued to narrate his story. Less than a year after he was sent to Great Xia Kingdom, he was rescued by a mysterious person, was given money, and had single-handedly established his Thousand Star Pavilion.
At the same time, the news of Great Yu Kingdom's death spread throughout the streets and alleys, and because of this, Great Xia Kingdom gave him a lot of compensation.
At this point, the seventeenth prince had completely disappeared from this world and he was only a Pavilion Master with Thousand Star Pavilion.
But five years ago, when he saw a secret related to the Great Yu Kingdom Imperial Family, he thought of ways to sneak into the Regent Palace. After obtaining his trust, he became one of the four great shadow guards by his side, named Red Leaf.
And the reason he became the second Pavilion Master of the Situ Yu's Red Cloaked Sect was also because he was imparted to the Regent s and even the reason he tampered with the explosive package's formula was also because of the Regent's intentions.
Speaking till here, what else could Situ Jing say?
If one had to blame it, they could only blame heaven's will for teasing, fate for teasing. Could it be that he and Gu Shiyi were really as Cheng Suyi had predicted at the beginning, destined to be fated without distinction?
