Gu Ruoyun walked to the stone table and gently stroked the teacup on the table. He suddenly turned around and looked behind him.

That was the bush where Su Yan was. 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

The sound of Gu Ruoyun’s footsteps was getting closer and closer but Su Yan did not struggle at all. She waited quietly.

Liu Runyan was a little surprised but he still tightened his grip on her. At the same time, his breathing slowed down a lot.

Gu Ruoyun’s hand was about to touch the grass when a voice came from the other side.

He immediately turned around and walked away.

As soon as Liu Runyan relaxed, he turned his head and met a pair of eyes.

His body stiffened and he called out in a low voice, “Uncle.”

That person’s entire body was covered in a layer of cloth. However, from the sound of his voice, he should be an old man. He said, “Runyan, you’ve had enough fun. You should come back with me.”

Liu Runyan frowned and slowly released Su Yan.

Su Yan moved her aching body. She did not cry out for help as they imagined.

The two of them looked at each other and flew away.

They did not expect to be punched on the ground the moment they stepped out.

Su Yan silently lit candles for them. She did not struggle just now because she knew that Gu Ruoyun had already discovered her.

She had the inner guards by her side. Liu Runyan’s actions were all under their noses. It could be said that if he had made any dangerous moves just now, he would have been beheaded in the next second.

Gu Ruoyun glanced at Su Yan from head to toe. After confirming that she was alright, he pointed his sword at Liu Runyan and said, “I didn’t think that you would have the guts to come and throw your life away.”

He mercilessly swung his sword at him. This time, he did not show any mercy as he aimed it at his heart.

The old man at the side pounced on his body and blocked the sword for him.

Liu Runyan touched the blood on his body and shouted, “Uncle.”

Liu Runyan’s hands trembled as he watched him spit out blood continuously.

Gu Ruoyun looked at him coldly. He wanted to move forward but was stopped by Su Yan.

She also did not react in time.

With this, Liu Runyan left with the old man.

A cloud of smoke rose and Liu Runyan’s voice faded into the air, “Gu Ruoyun, I don’t owe you anymore.”

Gu Ruoyun did not chase after him, but Su Yan was lost in thought.

Gu Ruoyun asked unhappily, “What are you thinking about?”

Su Yan replied, “I just feel that that man looks a little familiar.”

Especially that pair of eyes, she felt like she had seen them somewhere before, but she could not remember.

Gu Ruoyun pressed her head down and said, “Don’t think about it if you can’t remember. You’re not smart. You’d better use it sparingly.”

Su Yan slapped him away in annoyance.

This person had made her angry the moment he returned.

Gu Ruoyun was not angry either. Someone happened to call for him and said that the emperor had something to discuss.

He followed the eunuch to the imperial study.

Su Yan touched the ball of paper in her hand. It was given to her by Liu Runyan. She opened it and saw that there were only a few names on it. It looked like the names of traditional Chinese medicine.

She was not very clear about traditional Chinese medicine either. She thought of asking a traditional Chinese medicine doctor about it and soon threw the matter to the back of her mind.

When Gu Ruoyun returned, it was already nighttime. Nalan Cui was standing beside him with a downcast look on his face.

Su Yan saw him and thought that Gu Ruoyun had taught him a lesson, she felt a little guilty. The incident on that day was rather sudden and she had yet to tell Gu Ruoyun about him.

She immediately wanted to remedy the situation and pulled Nalan Cui behind her to protect him.

Gu Ruoyun looked at her as if she was trying to reason with him. He raised his brows and asked, “What are you trying to do?”

Su Yan replied directly, “The task that you’ve assigned to Cui this time is too heavy. How could he possibly finish reading such a huge pile of books in such a short time? It makes sense that he could not complete it.”

She used her exaggerated hand gestures to finish her sentence before she exhaled and said, “So, you can’t blame him.”

Gu Ruoyun glanced at Nalan Cui and asked, “Is that what he told you?”
