She couldn't tell for a moment who was lying or telling the truth.

Duan Chengrui and Duan Chengxuan both seemed to lack interest in the art of immortality, and a smart person would never deliberately bring up this sensitive topic in front of her. Duan Chengrui instead said with incomparable seriousness, ”Moreover, only you know of this method.

”And then when I'm immortal?” Gu Xuan Yan suddenly laughed softly.

”Do what you want.”

Duan Chengrui's words were sincere without the slightest flaw, and even she found it difficult to differentiate between the truth and the falsehood.

”How laughable. If you really only wanted Young Miss to be happy, why would you need to forcefully pull her away from Prince Jing?” Ping Chuan stepped forward and pulled Gu Mingyan up. ”What if Miss wants to do something in the future, that thing is to be with Prince Jing?”

”That's the only thing I can't give in to.” Duan Chengrui wiped the smile off his face, and made a gesture with his hand behind his back. Feng Zhu had already led the people inside, but stared at the hand that was grabbing Gu Daiyan, and said in a low voice: ”Even if Your Highness is the one who brought us here, we will definitely not be lenient.”

”The reason.” When Gu Danyan heard this, he pulled Pingchuan to his side and spoke in a low voice.

”Because he is not worthy of you. What he has done, and even what he has done today, is not worthy of you at all. ” Duan Chengrui's eyes were piercing cold as his fingertips clenched tightly. ”You should be worthy of the best.”

This reason made Gu Danyan unable to refute his words.

Behind him, Feng Xianfeng only slightly raised his eyebrows, knowing that all of this was within his expectations.

There had never been any peace between the Third Prince and the Jing King, and even if they had to fight each other in the imperial court, it was only a normal thing for the imperial family. However, when Gu Mingyan returned to Duan Chengxuan's side, Duan Chengrui had changed as well.

Ping Chuan found the situation even more unreasonable and did not believe that this was truly what Duan Chengrui was thinking.

Unfortunately, before he opened his mouth, the familiar blade had already pressed down on his chest. The woman in front of him had a heavy expression, but the shadow in her hands was already long unsheathed, and her red lips were slightly parted. Her words caused Pingchuan to tremble with fear: ”Pingchuan is someone by my mother's side, he cannot be hurt, nor can he be let go.”

”Your Highness, what are you doing?” Feng Lian walked to Duan Chenrui's side and carefully looked at Gu Danyan's eyes.

Could she really not see?

”Ping Chuan was loyal to me, so I couldn't bear to do it.” He raised his head and said in a low voice: ”I once told you about the clouds, but you did not tell anyone else. You agreed to all the things I asked you to do, not to mention the clothes and pastries you prepared for me back then.

”Miss!” Ping Chuan opened his eyes wide, but what he got in return was the thick layer of clouds in front of his chest.

Duan Chengrui remained calm towards this.

Others only knew Gu Danyan didn't know what he was thinking, but now it seemed that these small matters would always be remembered by Gu Danyan.

”Ping Chuan, I remember saying that I will live well.” Gu Mingyan retracted her hand, listening to the messy footsteps resounding in her ears. Even if she couldn't see it, she knew that Feng Lian and his men had already subdued Pingchuan.
