"We should go back now. The Gu family must be in complete chaos," Jiang Yu reminded them.

Gu Siye stood up, feeling his whole body brimming with power, as if he had been fully revived.

"I feel very dizzy."

"What's wrong? Logically speaking, you should be feeling better after absorbing the essence of these flowers, plants and trees. Have you not fully absorbed it yet? Let me help you."

Although Li Zhiyi had doubts, he took the initiative to help Gu Siye walk towards the car.

Gu Siye leaned all his strength onto Li Zhiyi. If Li Zhiyi hadn't practiced martial arts, he wouldn't have been able to withstand such a great force.

"Let me help you." Jiang Yu also pulled Gu Siye from the side, and Gu Siye secretly competed with Jiang Yu.

"Why is it getting heavier and heavier? Gu Siye, put some effort into it!"

"good."

The three of them struggled to get into the car, with Jiang Yu driving and Li Zhiyi and Gu Siye sitting in the back. This time, Li Zhiyi didn't use magic to make the car fly because she needed to conserve her energy. She knew that a tough battle was coming soon!

The area at the foot of the mountain is sparsely populated, and the car drove smoothly on the highway.

"My head hurts so much..."

Li Zhiyi reached out and touched Gu Siye's forehead: "Where does it hurt? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

"I feel uncomfortable everywhere. Rub my chest for me. I can't breathe..." Gu Siye enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by her.

Li Zhiyi thought that it was his first time using the Rejuvenation Technique to save someone, and that something had gone wrong. While thinking about it, he rubbed Gu Siye's chest with his hand.

She didn't realize at all that Gu Siye was practically clinging to her.

Jiang Yu drove silently. Some things he couldn't understand before were now clear. He couldn't bear to watch the young master Gu's childish behavior, so he slammed on the brakes and drove straight to the Gu family villa.

The news of Gu Siye's poisoning has already been communicated to Old Master Gu, who fainted due to his heart condition.

Gu Zhenting also rushed back anxiously, so when the three of them returned to the Gu family hall, a large number of people had already gathered there, including Gu Nianzhi.

The moment Gu Nianzhi saw her brother and sister-in-law, she burst into tears: "Waaah, sister-in-law, is my brother alright? I was so scared!"

She thought she would never see her brother again.

However, there was another man beside Gu Nianzhi this time. The man's face looked somewhat familiar. Li Zhi thought for a long time before he remembered that this was the second young master of the fish clan.

He's a member of the fish race, so I don't know how he managed to leave the surface of the sea, but there are many people here now, so this is clearly not the time to talk about these things.

Li Zhi, not seeing Grandpa Gu, asked, "Where's Grandpa?"

Butler Zhou reminded him, "The old man is in the bedroom."

Grandpa Gu fainted last night after hearing that his grandson had been poisoned, but he has now woken up after a night of treatment by doctors.

Gu Siye looked at his grandfather lying on the bed, but he didn't look well, as if all his energy had been drained. "Grandpa, I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Good child, I'm glad you're alright. You can all go out now. I have something to say to the girl."

Everyone left the old man's room and went to the hall.

Grandpa Gu took out an envelope from the drawer, inside which were the Gu family's shares, representing 20% ​​of his own: "Girl, Grandpa will give this to you."

Li Zhiyi declined, saying, "No, Grandpa, I can't accept this."

“Girl, don’t worry. Whether you marry my eldest grandson or not, this is a gift from your grandfather. I know I don’t have long to live. My biggest regret now is that I can’t see your master again. Your master was really a good man. If it weren’t for his help back then, there would be no Gu family.”

It's clear that Grandpa Gu is a grateful person, and Li Zhiyi is also eager to find his master as soon as possible.

"Grandpa, I won't let anything happen to you. I have a feeling that my master will be found soon after you take this pill." Because Master Xuan has already promised to help her.

Grandpa Gu knew this pill was a good thing, possibly a limited edition, and at his advanced age, he didn't want to waste such a good thing.

"Girl, keep this pill. Grandpa doesn't need it anymore."

"Grandpa, please eat. If you don't eat, it means you don't consider me your granddaughter-in-law." Li Zhiyi could only say this to save Grandpa Gu, because she could see that Grandpa Gu's lifespan was nearing its end, and he could leave at any time if he gave up hope of living.

However, this pill can extend his life by three months. Although three months is not long, it is enough for her to find her grandfather. She hopes that Grandpa Gu will not have any regrets and can personally reminisce with his master.

Grandpa Gu realized what she had said and, moved to tears, said, "Okay, Grandpa will eat. Grandpa will wait until the day I can drink your wedding wine."

When Jiang Yu left the Gu family, Gu Siye saw him off. When they reached the door, Jiang Yu turned back and said, "Young Master Gu, I hope you really like her."

"Young Master Jiang, isn't that obvious? Do you think I, Gu Siye, would be coerced into marrying her?"

Jiang Yu knew that Gu Siye was rumored to be uninterested in women and extremely cold-hearted! He must really like her to be going to such lengths to get her attention.

That evening, Li Zhiyi had just gone to his bedroom when he heard a knock on the door.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong with Grandpa?"

No, I was looking for you.

Seeing that he wanted to come inside, Li Zhiyi was a little nervous, but she knew that hiding wouldn't solve anything, so she could only let him in.

"do you like me?"

His words were so direct that Li Zhiyi was completely unprepared, but having experienced life and death, she seemed to know that she liked the man in front of her.

She remained silent and did not answer. She had originally thought that silence meant consent, but someone else did not think so.

He approached Li Zhiyi step by step, making Li Zhiyi nervous. He gripped the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands: "What do you want to do?"

"do you like me?"

Li Zhi swallowed hard, completely unable to bear his overbearing manner, and stammered, "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Gu Siye knew she was shy, so he hugged her tightly and asked, "I want to propose to you. Will you?"

"I don't want to. Get out of this room now. Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"

Gu Siye was surprised that she was unwilling to marry him. Did she still like that young master Jiang? His emotions churned, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, he grabbed the back of her head and kissed her fiercely. However, his nibbling on her lips softened involuntarily, with a tenderness as if she were a precious treasure.
