Gu Sui took out two pills from his pocket and handed them to Liu, promising longevity and nourishment.
"Oh, you are quite thoughtful."
Liu watched as Gu entered the study, quickly finding a jade bottle to store the pills, eager to get home and consume them, as if afraid of losing them.
Why would he have the time to come to the palace to see that seemingly lofty person?
Emperor Dong had learned to joke; it truly amused him.
Ying Zheng remarked, "I don't deny," recalling how Gu had casually spoken ill of Ying Zheng while teaching those orphans. Somehow, it had reached Ying Zheng's ears, and he often used it to tease Gu.
One might say the speaker was unintentional, while the listener could be either intentional or not. It all depended on how Gu perceived it.
Perhaps it was indeed from Street Bridge City; I was just about to inquire about my own thoughts.
The butcher, Azure Dragon King, Wuyou Emperor, Sima General—these were formidable warriors. The King of the Light Path and Phantom Goddess might also be involved with the madman An Su Su. It hardly seemed like a trap, but who could say for certain how bold the Nine Nether Sect truly was?
Gu slowly gestured in the air, forming a character that resembled "Yang," causing Ying Zheng to instantly understand his meaning.
Thus, I hope I can—Bu Luo seems to suggest that I am not overthinking this. Even if it's bait or a trap, as long as I can obtain something from Zhu Xian Mountain, I feel there’s no way I could lose.
But then again, perhaps the Nine Nether Sect thinks similarly and is forcing me to exchange children. Can Emperor Dong handle such a trade? I don't deny that the empire can bear it.
Ying Zheng picked up the memorial from his leg and stared at it for a long while, lifting it and putting it down repeatedly. Initially, he looked towards Gu and said solemnly, "I hope to defeat that butcher. Ying Zhan will create conditions for me to overcome Zhu Xian Mountain."
For the empire, this could perhaps buy several decades of time, enough for more disciples of the Heart Sect to step onto the battlefield and become a decisive force in that war.
Did Emperor Dong wish to win the initial victory? Or rather,
Sometimes, there are things that must be pursued, not just for the sake of reputation, but more so for a kind of deterrence. Weapons must be displayed to instill fear; don't you think?
Gu smiled and stepped back, while Liu came out to greet him.
"Can you go to Street Bridge City? Old Servant knows you can definitely defeat those pretentious fellows. Old Servant wishes you victory there, Ma Cheng."
Well, do not underestimate the heroes of Tiandong. In that era, no one was willing to be slaughtered like fish on a chopping board; they were all clever rabbits hiding in their burrows. That time forced those old Rabbit Spirits to jump out themselves, and we shall see if they can hold their ground.
Feeling Gu's warm gaze, Liu suddenly felt a chill pass through him. He closed his mouth and escorted Gu out of the palace.
Just as Liu turned around, he seemed to think of something. But when he turned back again, Gu had vanished without a trace. Liu muttered to himself, "Those Great Masters are truly impressive."
Just as Liu thought, Gu's A Distant Paradise had made significant progress. In just one step, he returned to Imperial Capital Mountain, achieving what Jianghu Warriors referred to as shrinking space into inches—a perfect mastery over time and space.
He knew that Ye You had just brewed tea with leaves dried days ago. At this moment, he rushed over to taste it again. Every time we met, he never left the tea behind.
There is sweetness in bitterness; it's indescribable and wonderful.
After finishing the pot of tea, they decided to take a trip to Street Bridge City, a place for the Easterners to witness the power of the Heart Sect.
Listening to Gu's words, Yoyo, who was catching butterflies nearby, jumped onto Gu's shoulder and stretched out her little leg, as if saying, "Charge ahead!"
"Why can't I grow up?"
Yoyo had always been like this. From the moment the two met until now, she still looked exactly the same as she did at first—never changed, never altered.
Yoyo stuck out her tongue and licked Gu's cheek before leaning against his neck and falling into a deep sleep. Gu felt that recently, Yoyo had been sleeping more and more.
"Did I ask for it again? I don't deny it. Be careful."
Han Yu walked over and poured some tea leaves for Ye You. It was clear that their relationship was quite good; Han Yu had never fought over anything. Gu felt as if he owed Han Yu something.
Keke was focused on her heart.
Bu Luo and Han Yu had never asked for much. For her, a life like Yan Dong's was enough.
