The White Horse Temple was still the same as before.

Back then, Xiao Chen's master was still a monk sweeping the ground. Although he had been taken care of by the temple's master because he was loved by the imperial concubine, Xiao Chen only replied half-heartedly, ”I like sweeping the floor. I want to know what I will find out in the future.”

Back then, Gu Daiyan was the only one who approached him, but she didn't ask him why he was only willing to sweep the floor every day.

However, he cleaned the courtyard every day, and was even more serious than the ceremonial Buddha. Today, when he saw Gu Daiyan again, she was already the aloof Princess Erdan. Her face did not change, but her body became thinner and thinner, especially the strange scars on her wrist.

However, Gu Mingyan named her Dao. ”I like to sweep the ground with Emptiness Realm.”

As she said that, Gu Danyan left Yue Qing and smiled, saying that she was blind and could not see anything. She then grabbed his arm to make him understand.

”Since that's the case, then Virtual Dust is willing to point the way for Benefactor.” Xu Que expressionlessly raised her hand.

”That's right, Your Highness, I ask you to resolve this matter on your own, my identity is not appropriate.” Gu Danyan casually waved his hand, and even though it was in the opposite direction, Duan Chengrui knew that he was being asked.

He had also heard of this Master Xu. She had been a monk at the White Horse Temple ever since she was young, but she had always been a monk sweeping the ground.

Gu Liuyan had come to this place before, and they had only met once, so it was not inappropriate for them to meet each other.

”Oh right, little master Xu Chen is a spendthrift after all. It's not convenient to do all sorts of things. You should let the maidservants take care of me in the morning and night.” Gu Liuyan raised his hand as he spoke, as if he was trying to find the direction Duan Chengrui was in.

The latter helplessly stepped forward and grasped her wrist, only to hear her whisper out, ”The hereditary Imperial Jade Seal is in the empress dowager's hands. The guards here are weak, so I'll give you a chance.”

With that, Gu Daiyan gently pushed the person in front of her away.

Yue Qing, who was one of the strongest martial artists nearby, had already heard what Gu Danyan said clearly. She clenched her fists and believed that someone like Gu Danyan would not speak the truth. How could the Imperial Jade Seal be in this kind of place?

Duan Chengrui, however, raised his hand and stopped Yue Qing from moving forward. His voice was still soft as he pulled Gu Mingyan to his side, ”I don't understand what you mean.”

The cold glint in his eyes seemed to want to swallow up all of Gu Daiyan.

Gu Liuyan could choose to not fall in love with him, and she could also choose Duan Cheng Xuan.

Yet, he couldn't be trusted or toyed with, and he could take care of Duan Chengxuan for him.

He only stumbled a few steps and almost threw himself into the man's arms. He only stabilized his body and raised his head, making it seem as if he was looking up at the sky, but that faint voice of his still remembered, ”You have obtained the Imperial Jade Seal, so everything is reasonable now. I presume that there's an imperial edict beside you that, after destroying him, you can immediately ascend to the throne.”

Duan Cong was severely ill. Since the empress dowager had died at the White Horse Temple and the imperial edict was no more, he could truly ascend to the heavens in one step.

”Where did you learn that?” Duan Chengrui asked in a low voice.

”Duan Chengxuan told me about the successor, the Imperial Jade Seal, but didn't mention anything about the Imperial Decree. I guessed this myself.” Gu Danyan grasped the front of his shirt and said in a deep voice: ”I don't trust you guys, but you have already taken me to the Fallen Water Barrier. Since you have expressed your sincerity, I will naturally give you an equal reward.”
