In Tingxiang Yard, the night was as dark as ink with sparse stars.

Gu Yunxi felt restless in the room.

In just a few days, she was bombarded with all kinds of bad news.

Emperor Jingxiao, Empress Qian, and the Master all died. Now Yunyao's mother was also dead.

As for her two best friends, one's whereabouts were unknown, and the other, a fool, became an Emperor.

Gu Yunxi wondered what was wrong with the world.

Now the situation was chaotic. Gu Di staged a comeback with his men. He pretended to be the Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot and incited Duke Min to kill the new Emperor, Huanan Xin.

No matter whether this initiative could be successful, it was difficult to say whether Gu Di would follow Huanan Xin to kick down the ladder and kill Min Rui and his son in terms of his cruelty.

In any case, Min Rui and his son were Yunyao's only living family members, so Gu Yunxi would not allow them to be hurt.

She thought about it in the room and finally decided to take a risk. She would seek the opportunity to meet Duke Min and tell him the real identity of this "Master Leng".

As soon as she opened the door, the "guards" under the corridor were alerted. Their ferocious eyes closely followed the girl and they said in a stiff way,

"What do you want? Get back! You can't go out without the permission of the Master."

Gu Yunxi rolled her eyes with her hands on her hips. She was impatient,

"How dare you yell at me? I'm the one your Master loves the most. The moon is beautiful tonight, and the room is too stuffy. I just want to go out and look around the luxurious house of Duke. Can't I?"

"It's good for you to have an aesthetic mood. If you want to enjoy the moon, I would like to accompany you."

With the cold-spring-like sound, Gu Di slowly stepped into the yard. His dark long coat rose and fell in the night, which was natural and unrestrained.

Her heart did a somersault and Gu Yunxi couldn't help but frown. She said "no" indifferently and was about to close the door.

Gu Di jumped over the porch with a light unnoticeable pace. He stamped his right foot, just preventing the door from closing.

Gu Yunxi was angry and widened her almond-like eyes. She could have predicted what would happen then according to the unbridled expression written on the man's face.

Moreover, she could predict that this temperamental man would never show any gentleness and patience like Master Leng.

In the past, she was the rank-fourth close guard with a broadsword. She feared no one, but now her Kungfu...

Gu Di looked at the slender door seam and sneered,

"Well, do you think you can stop me with a wooden door?"

He did lose patience and broke through the door with a wave.

Gu Yunxi was scared. She stepped back and her body was full of sweat. Her face changed from red to earthy ash.

"Who, who allows you in--"

"You're kidding. Am I wrong to go into my own bedroom? I have made it clear to Min Rui that you are my family member and that naturally you should share a room and a bed with me."

The outer corner of his eyes showed teasing. He asserted eloquently.

Gu Yunxi was angry to girt her teeth and shouted,

"No way. Get out..."

Without finishing her words, her delicate body was pulled to the man by internal strength so that her forehead hit a solid chest.

"Let me go. What do you want to do—"

Her chin was pinched hard by two fingers, and she was painful. She stopped struggling. Her eyes were red with endless anger.

Gu Di's raising phoenix eyes showed the cold haze. He raised her jaw with fingertips, forcing her to look at him,

"I should ask what you want to do. Just now in the mourning hall, why did you ogle Min Rui? You were trying to tell him my identity. Now you're looking for an opportunity to go out and tell him that I am not the real Leng Qingtang, right?"

He guessed correctly!

"I didn't. No. Let me go!"

Enduring the pain of her skin, the girl made a fierce resistance and roared,

"At this time you and I have the same purpose, dealing with Huanan Xin. Why should I have extradition? Let me go. You hurt me..."

"Answer my question truthfully, and I'll let you go!"

"Just ask!"

Gu Yunxi gazed at his cold eyes.

Who knew what tricks the demon wanted to play?

Gu Di looked directly at her cold but pretty face, and the darkness in his eyes instantly became deep, with light flowing inside.

He gave an evil smile and whispered near her neckline. He blew the warm ambiguous air over her cheek,

"You should evaluate my behavior as Commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot. Am I good?"

"Well... You want to know this."

Gu Yunxi smiled coldly,

"To be honest, it's speciosity. And now...there's not much left of your 'look' now."

She glared at the man's scarred left face, and her eyes became sharp. She clearly felt the force that restrained her jaw, suddenly scattered invisibly.

The man became an ice-covered sculpture. He was motionless, scattering a chill.

"Speciosity? Well, I'll let you know right now that I'm better than him in everything, okay?"

In a flash, her chest was cool, and then the pain was strong.

Gu Yunxi bowed her head in amazement. It turned out that he tore up her clothes.

His movements were so rough that his five sharp fingertips left four blood marks directly on her delicate white skin.

Gu Yunxi was painful and ashamed. She screamed and covered her chest in time.

"You're a beast!"

As she swore, a dark figure knocked her down. She fell on her back into the soft brocade quilt.

Gu Di's face became red and his black eyes were dyed with a touch of red, finally having warmth. He locked that pair of soft peaks under his body and pleasant excitement came out of his blurred eye.

Gu Yunxi's face changed dramatically, and she bit him.

Gu Di felt pain and frowned, but refused to easily let go of her. He slowly bowed down, seeming to taste the blood in the air. He leisurely said,

"Don't pretend to be chaste and pure. Do you think I do not know that Leng Qingtang did not buy a ferry ticket but got on the boat first? It's a pity..."

His cold fingers touched her flawless skin,

If I had known so, I would have had you in Mount Yin."

With a blink, Gu Yunxi suddenly asked,

"Then do you know how strong Master Leng is?"

"Which aspect?" The man was confused.

Just over the head, the girl and faced directly the excited man. Her eyes were cold, and only her expression was full of poison and temptation,

"You want to pretend to be Master Leng well, so naturally it includes bedroom fun. I don't mind teaching you by myself."

Gu Di was in a state of consternation. He was trying to pull off the girl's bellyband, but stopped.

Gu Yunxi laughed unbridledly. She grasped the man's loose clothes and forced him to approach her. Her legs stretched out in bed like a lady of easy virtue,

"Why are you so polite? Come and kiss me. Let me tell you how he kissed me. Don't be afraid. Come on!"

"That's enough. Shut up—"

With a reproach, Gu Di jumped out of bed, deliberately staying away from the girl in bed.

"Well, don't you always think of yourself as Master Leng? In that case, if you want me, you should always imitate him to possess me like that, right?"

Gu Yunxi slowly got up and smiled coldly and demonically. Her upper body was covered by a thin red pocket, which looked more porcelain and inviting.

Gu Di looked at her infatuatedly, and could only hear her wild laughter.

Gradually, he became weak, angry, and miserable. Finally, the tall man fell off.

Gu Yunxi put on the clothes and stopped laughing. She said,

"Gu Di, you are really deplorable. Obviously, you can be yourself, but you want to imitate your brother. Master Leng is dead, and he has been extricated. How about you? You fall into hell, and you can only live under his shadow for the rest of your life. Hahaha!"

Watching the man stagger and escape, Gu Yunxi collapsed on the bed. It looked like she just ended a fierce and dangerous battle and she had no more extra energy.

It was risky just now.

Gu Yunxi lost her Kungfu. In order to protect her innocence, she took advantage of the extreme nature of Gu Di, who was conceited and arrogant. She decisively retreated in order to advance.

However, this approach was risky.

If he hadn't been fooled in time, he would have been in a frenzy. Then the result would have been different.

Recalling the thrill of the intellectual struggle, the girl couldn't help but be sad at this quiet moment. She clenched the quilt corner and cried,

"Master, Master Leng..."

—

Leng Qingtang sat at the bow of the ship, looking out at the brightest star in the sky.

Yu Xuanji sat beside him with a wine pot,

"What are you thinking about, Brother He?"

Hearing this, Leng Qingtang turned his head and smiled,

"You're here. Why are you drinking? Your back has just recovered?"

Yu Xuanji placed a pair of wine glasses on the deck and filled them with wine. He handed over a glass,

"I haven't had a drink with you for a long time. Come on, this wine celebrates lucky survivors from a holocaust."

Leng Qingtang didn't refuse, "Cheers."

"Cheers."

After drinking a glass of wine, Leng Qingtang played with his glass. From his voice, he seemed to have regrets,

"We will get to Wei Sea soon."

Yu Xuanji poured wine for him and smiled coldly,

"Yeah. We will get what we should have back."

In a moment of silence, Leng Qingtang suddenly raised his head,

"Xiu, I don't want to be the emperor now..."

"What are you talking about?"

Yu Xuanji's tone was evocated with irrevocable strength,

"No, Da Yi originally belongs to you, Brother He. You have done nothing wrong. I believe you will definitely become a good emperor!"

Leng Qingtang's phoenix eyes revealed secrets and he said,

"These days I have been thinking and found that Huanan Jiyan's words were quite reasonable. Among Huanan Ze, Huanan Xin, and me, we can't get rid of the relationship of the Huanan family. Removing the enemy is likely to hurt those who have helped me and cared about me."

"In that case, as long as someone can benefit society and people, there's no difference when someone from the Huanan family becomes the emperor, right?"

Yu Xuanji didn't respond and swallowed a glass of wine. He sighed and threw the wine glass into the sea.
