"Watson, what is the situation of the Jiang Kingdom's army?"

"Their current leader is Xiao Lizi, Zhang Ling's trusted confidant. He has learned of Zhang Ling's capture. He remains within our control and has not moved."

"Okay, keep an eye on their actions at all times." Duan Yu stood with his back to Watson, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Watson still hadn't left. Duan Yu frowned and asked, "Anything else?"

Watson whispered, "There's something I'm not sure about. Since you already knew Miss Qiu Shuang was lying, why didn't you expose her right then and there?"

After hearing this, Duan Yu frowned slightly, and a deep look flashed in his eyes. "Watson, you don't have to ask too much. The meaning behind some things is far more complicated than it seems on the surface." His voice was calm and low, as if hiding an unknown secret.

Meanwhile, Li Qingxuan, after observing Duan Yu's various behaviors towards Gu Yufei, came to her own conclusion. During a conversation with Gu Yufei, she softly said, "Gu Yufei, I think Duan Yu's feelings for you might be more than just protective. His attitude towards you is always different from his attitude towards others."

Gu Yufei was shocked when she heard this. Her cheeks unconsciously flushed, and there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "Qingxuan, do you really think so? But he is so cold to everyone, and I always feel that I am no exception."

Li Qingxuan gently held Gu Yufei's hand, her eyes firm. "Duan Yu's behavior in front of you shows how special he is to you. Moreover, for you, he even took the risk of affecting the military's prestige."

Gu Yufei frowned, a hint of worry in her eyes. She gently said to Li Qingxuan, "Duan Yu is an extreme egoist."

Li Qingxuan's face showed a look of surprise, as if she was surprised by this comment. She asked puzzledly, "Why do you say that?"

Gu Yufei took a deep breath and said slowly, "I've been with him for a while, and I've noticed he only considers his own interests, disregarding the feelings and needs of others. He'll do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, even at the cost of hurting others."

After a while, Gu Yufei asked again: "Can such a person really like others?"

"But, that's not right. Didn't you tell me that he is a love-brained person?" Li Qingxuan suddenly remembered.

"Oh...I don't know either."

The two fell silent.

"If he likes you, everything will be much easier." Li Qingxuan sighed.

Gu Yufei also sighed.

She was also very confused and upset.

"How about you seduce him? Your face is now that of a national goddess, so it shouldn't be difficult to get him." Li Qingxuan's eyes lit up.

"Me, me?"

"Of course it was you. Also, when you killed someone, I noticed a flash of white light in the sky. The sky is clear now, how could there be lightning suddenly? I think it might be related to the clue we are going back to."

"There was lightning when I killed someone?" Gu Yufei widened her eyes.

"It's true, believe me." Li Qingxuan recalled in detail with a firm look in her eyes.

"Have we fallen into some strange setting? How many people do we need to kill before we can go back? But to be honest, I don't have any relatives in modern times. The only person I care about is my good friend." Gu Yufei looked away with a sad tone.
