Seeing Gu Liyan and Yan Muxue approaching, Hua Gu rolled her eyes at Yan Muxue and said irritably, "So you know how to come back? How many times have I told you? The people outside are all treacherous villains. You have to be careful and on guard!"

After speaking, she glanced at Gu Liyan, seemingly casually.

Gu Liyan smiled without saying a word. Yan Muxue secretly glanced at Gu Liyan and, seeing that he wasn't angry, smiled awkwardly and said, "Aunt Hua, Xiao Li is not an outsider."

Hua Gu looked at Gu Liyan with a wary expression, stepped forward and pulled Yan Muxue aside, whispering, "Silly girl, how can you attract onlookers with your ambiguous relationship with him?"

Yan Muxue's expression changed slightly, and she said seriously, "Hua Gu, I said from the beginning that I sell my art, not my body. They came to appreciate my dance because they like it, but my marriage is ultimately my own decision. They have no right to interfere!"

Upon hearing Yan Muxue's words, Hua Gu's face immediately darkened, and she waved her hand dismissively, saying, "Oh, whatever, I don't care anymore!"

Yan Muxue smiled awkwardly and said, "Aunt Hua, I'm going home with Xiao Li tomorrow, what do you think..."

Hua Gu's eyes widened. "You're leaving?"

"No, I'm just going to visit Xiao Li's father," Yan Muxue quickly explained.

Hua Gu glanced at Gu Liyan and whispered in Yan Muxue's ear, "Xue'er, listen to Hua Gu, don't easily trust guys who don't even dare to show their true faces... They must all have enemies!"

Yan Muxue smiled at Gu Liyan and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Hua, Xiao Li is very kind and has no enemies at all."

Hua Gu glared at Gu Liyan and said, "You can know a person's face but not their heart, let alone your face."

Yan Muxue couldn't help but chuckle and said to Gu Liyan, "Little Li, why don't you let Aunt Hua see what you look like?"

"Let's forget about it," Gu Liyan said with a wry smile.

"Look, he's scared now!" Hua Gu said, pointing at Gu Liyan.

“Hua Gu, Xiao Li isn’t scared, but revealing his true face will cause trouble!” Yan Muxue said.

"Oh dear, I told you he had a lot of enemies, and you still argued with me." Hua Gu pulled Yan Muxue aside. "Xue'er, don't pay attention to this kind of person in the future!"

Yan Muxue looked at Gu Liyan with a wry smile and said, "Little Li, why don't you let Aunt Hua take a look?"

Gu Liyan nodded helplessly, "Alright..."

Feng Huaxian's room on the second floor

"Then it's settled. We'll head to Thousand Absolute Mountain together tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM)," Ping'er said with a smile, her eyes narrowed.

"Okay!" Baili Huangyi nodded with a smile.

"Since we've agreed, I'll go tell Aunt Hua." Ping'er got up to leave.

“I’ll go with you! We’ll say you’re here to accompany Prince Yan on his mountain hike.” Feng Huaxian stood up and said.

Ping'er raised an eyebrow and nodded without refusing, "Okay."

Feng Huaxian and Ping'er walked out of the room and saw Wang Guozhong standing at the door like a wooden statue, while their personal maid Xiao Cui stood angrily to the side.

When Xiao Cui saw Feng Huaxian come out, she hurriedly stepped forward and pointed at Wang Guozhong, saying in annoyance, "Sister, this guy wouldn't let me in, but he let this girl in!" As she spoke, she pointed at Ping'er who was following behind Feng Huaxian.

Feng Huaxian immediately guessed that Xiao Cui and Wang Guozhong had had an unpleasant encounter, and smiled, saying, "Alright, don't hold a grudge over such a small matter... Hmm? What are those two doing?"

Feng Huaxian saw Gu Liyan and Yan Moxue chatting with Hua Gu downstairs and was about to greet them when she saw Gu Liyan slowly take off his mask.

His stunning beauty overshadowed all those who could rival him in beauty. Feng Huaxian's breath caught in her throat, and her heart skipped a beat: she never imagined that there was a man in this world more handsome than Gu Changyuan! He was truly beautiful to the extreme!

Not only was Feng Huaxian momentarily speechless, but even Hua Gu, who had seen countless beauties and outstanding young men, was captivated by Gu Liyan's flawless and exquisite face!

"Tsk tsk tsk, it has been said since ancient times that beautiful women are a source of trouble, but in Young Master Mo's opinion, it is no exaggeration to say that beautiful men are a source of trouble!" Hua Gu's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees, and she looked at Gu Liyan with an appreciative expression.

"It's just a pretty face; beauty can't represent everything." Gu Liyan smiled gently, giving people a warm and welcoming feeling.

Upon hearing this, Yan Muxue proudly raised her chin, as if to say: Look, this flawless person is my man, Yan Muxue's man!

Hua Gu walked up with a smile and took Gu Liyan's hand. "Oh dear, look at my mouth! Not only just now, but I also said so many unpleasant things before. Young Master Mo, please don't mind!"

"No, no." Gu Liyan smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed as Hua Gu held his hand.

Touching Gu Liyan's hand, Hua Gu couldn't help but think to herself: "These hands are fair and slender. If I could train him to be an excellent musician and keep him in the brothel, his looks would surely attract people from the more prosperous ancient city outside Yancheng! Then I could make a fortune!"

Seeing that Hua Gu was holding Gu Liyan's hand for a long time without letting go, and had a silly grin on her face,

Yan Muxue hurriedly went over, pulled Hua Gu aside, and said with a smile, "Hua Gu, it's getting late, you should get some rest. Xiao Li and I won't bother you any longer!"

Hua Gu completely ignored Yan Moxue's meaning, instead pushing Yan Moxue aside and staring intently at Gu Liyan, asking with concern, "Young Master Mo, are you getting used to your stay here? It's my fault for not being a good host, making you and Xue'er squeeze into one room. How about I arrange a larger room for you? It's right next to Xue'er's room—Xueyue Pavilion."
