Chu Younan's original plan was for him and Su Bei to form a group, Chu Youyang and Xue Jinrong, Gu Rui and Cheng Shi. But Cheng Shi said that he had observed the stars at night and that the person who was born in Yang time and the person who escaped death twice needed to restrain each other in order to protect the lives of both of them, so he insisted that Su Bei and Cheng Shi should be in the same group with him.

Chu Younan was extremely unhappy, but Gu Rui continued, "The stars show that Prince Jin will have a calamity soon, which is a matter of life and death. To solve it, you need to restrain each other with extremely clear people and people who defy the heavens. You and Xue Jinrong just meet the requirements."

You can’t believe everything about ghosts and gods, or mysterious things, but you can’t not believe them either. As it concerns Chu Youyang’s life and death, Chu Younan has to believe it.

It was strange that he couldn't see through Gu Rui, nor could he hear his inner voice.

In his previous life, Chu Youchen finally climbed up to the big castle. In order to win over Gu Rui, he gave Concubine Mei to Gu Rui, and also gave him a hundred beauties, and promised him the position of a first-class national teacher.

Who would have thought that Gu Rui would flee overnight, taking only Concubine Mei with him.

I can't guess or see clearly, but I can only follow what he says.

The city of Fengyuan Prefecture was desolate. The sun was shining brightly, but there were few people walking on the streets, which was particularly eerie to look at.

Several people wanted to find a place to stay, but no inn in the city dared to take them in.

"The shop is full."

"Please find another place to stay."

"You guys should go back to where you came from, Fengyuan Mansion... Alas!"

Like a ghost town.

Fortunately, Gu Rui did not take the usual route. He took Cheng Shi and Su Bei, who had changed into men's clothes, over the wall and entered a yard.

The courtyard was quiet and deserted, but fortunately the courtyard had a good layout, with pavilions and towers. Gu Rui took them to the top floor on the pretext of stargazing at night.

Finally, it was quiet, and Su Bei was finally able to ask, "Gu Rui, did you travel through time?"

Gu Rui looked at her meaningfully, and then said ambiguously: "Yes and no, that's not important. What's important is, are you really going to marry Chu Younan?"

"If she doesn't marry him, then she's going to marry you?" Su Bei's eyes were full of contempt. "Can't you just be a decent person? Why do you have to keep talking dirty and wearing unkempt clothes all day long?"

Gu Rui brushed his loose black hair and shrugged deliberately, revealing his thin ribs. "Who said I didn't behave well? Have you seen me cheating on someone else's wife? Or kidnapping someone's daughter?"

Su Bei was speechless. He had never seen such a thing before.

Gu Rui continued, "Some people are like melons, very yellow on the outside, but pure and clean on the inside. But some people are like eggs, looking noble and elegant, but completely yellow on the inside! Don't you think so?"

Is it yellow inside?

Well……

Are you talking about Chu Younan?

Thinking about how he was serious in front of others but hungry at night, Su Bei actually agreed a little...

Gu Rui pressed on and said, "Why don't you try and see if I am actually pure or not!" He said as he looked at Su Bei pretending to be innocent.

"Get out!" Su Bei glared at him fiercely. No matter how he looked at him, he still felt that Chu Younan, who was white on the outside but yellow on the inside, was much better than him.

Cheng Shi looked at Gu Rui sympathetically. At the same time, he looked at Su Bei eagerly, muttering, "I'm white on the outside and on the inside too!"

It’s a pity that his voice was too soft and Su Bei didn’t hear it.

The three of them each found a corner and stayed there until night.

When the moon climbed up to the treetops, they could faintly hear the howling of ghosts and wolves outside. The three of them each found a window and looked out.

Faintly, the sound of footsteps could be heard, and faintly, black figures could be seen lining up to cross the street. However, it seemed that they were not just passing by, as if someone had bumped into the team, screamed, and then was silent.

Gu Rui was acting out of character, with his brows furrowed and he looked outside solemnly.

Su Bei felt her hair stand on end. What was the point of her coming here for this kind of thing? In front of the supernatural phenomena, she was as small and powerless as an ant.

Cheng Shi suddenly said, "Let's go take a closer look, maybe we can find some clues."

Su Bei immediately stared at him with eyes wide open. He had thought Cheng Shi was a coward, but he had never expected that he would be so courageous? You can't judge a person by his appearance!

Gu Rui withdrew his gaze, with his signature smile on his lips, then grabbed Cheng Shi's wrist, took out a dagger from somewhere, and cut Cheng Shi's finger without saying a word.

"Use the boy's blood to wipe your forehead to drive away ghosts and evil spirits!" After he said that, he signaled Cheng Shi to wipe Su Bei's forehead with his eyes.

Only then did Cheng Shi realize that this was probably his role.

"Miss Abei, I'm sorry!" Cheng Shi said as he wiped her forehead with his bloody finger.

"Women have a lot of yin energy, apply more on the ears, chin, and mouth!" Gu Rui crossed his arms and ordered, as if he was watching a show.

Cheng Shi did as he was told, squeezing out a drop of blood that wiped across Su Bei's eartips and chin, and finally fell on her lips, his fingers trembling slightly.

The lips were soft and looked so gorgeous after being stained with blood that they made his heart beat like a drum.

Su Bei was a little embarrassed, and took a step back without leaving any trace, pursing his lips unnaturally. The smell of blood was not pleasant...

The three of them walked out of the pavilion and ran carefully in the direction of the ghost soldiers. When they got closer, they heard the footsteps getting louder and the howling of ghosts and wolves were nearby.

"Are they ghost soldiers?" Su Bei looked at Gu Rui in confusion.

Gu Rui looked innocent, "I don't know anything about ghosts and gods, how would I know? How about... you go over and ask?"

As he said this, he suddenly pushed Su Bei.

Before Su Bei recovered from her surprise, she had already fallen into the group of ghost soldiers. She only felt a pain in the back of her neck, heard Cheng Shi shouting, and then she knew nothing.

The so-called ghost soldiers, carrying with them many people like Su Bei and Cheng Shi who had accidentally stumbled in, as well as people they had abducted from private homes, gradually went away.

On the deserted street, Gu Rui looked at the messy footprints on the ground, thoughtfully.

There were steady footsteps not far away, and Chu Younan's voice was as cold as water, "Gu Rui, can you see anything?"

Gu Rui turned his head, the corners of his lips still raised, "Did the prince see anything?"

"It's not the Yin soldiers passing through! These are just people pretending to be people!" Chu Younan frowned tightly, "Where is Ah Bei? Let's go find King Jin and the others to meet up and discuss a plan."

He had Xue Jinrong and Chu Youyang hide in an empty yard, so he naturally thought that Gu Rui had also come out alone. However, he did not expect that Gu Rui actually looked in the direction where the Yin soldiers left and said leisurely, "The two of them are there."

Chu Younan's eyes suddenly widened, and the corners of his peach blossom pupils turned red. He grabbed Gu Rui's collar and punched him hard.

"If anything happens to her, I will tear you into pieces!"

Gu Rui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but still smiled, "Chu Younan, in my last life, I only wanted to protect my benefactor. In this life, I decided to stand by you!"

Chu Younan was stunned immediately. Gu Rui was also reborn?

He frowned, trying hard to listen to his inner voice, but he could hear nothing.
