Yi Chen quietly watched Gu Qingze's back as he left. His eyes were as deep as an endless pool, and he didn't know where his thoughts drifted to.
With a slight movement of his mind, the entire palace was instantly shrouded in a layer of mysterious power, in a completely closed state, as if completely isolated from the noisy world outside.
At this moment, the almost crazy look that appeared on his face when he faced Gu Qingze just now was gone, and his face returned to an expressionless look.
The expression was cold as ice, even to the point of being indifferent and daunting.
Yi Chen gently waved the exquisite folding fan in his hand, and the patterns on the fan appeared faintly.
Thinking of what had just happened, he couldn't help but snort in disdain, his voice full of contempt.
"Thanks a lot."
A ray of light like the cold moon in late autumn and a cold and distant voice came from nowhere.
The sound seemed to carry a hint of chill, as if it could ruthlessly lower the temperature around it by a few degrees, making people feel as if they were in a cold cave.
Yi Chen's originally irritable mood suddenly calmed down like a flame extinguished by cold water because of the appearance of this voice.
He said this half jokingly, half seriously.
"If it weren't for you, I would have wiped them all out from the very first day of their plan. I wouldn't have remained indifferent until now."
“........”
The voice was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
"You kept it until now...just because of your bad taste, right?"
Yi Chen retorted, looking as if he was "right even if he was not right" even though his thoughts were seen through.
"The fact that they obtained this information so easily will only make them doubt the information itself. What I'm doing now undoubtedly increases its credibility, doesn't it?"
"Don't you think the image I created for myself as a 'fun person' who only wants to have fun and is a little mentally disturbed is perfect?"
Yi Chen put away the opened folding fan, then gently tapped the table with the handle of the fan, making a crisp sound. The sound was particularly clear in the silent space.
"This perfectly resolves all those suspicious parts from before... You should be praising me."
"Don't be so righteous. Isn't there a reason why you want to see women's clothing?"
"If you simply didn't want to arouse suspicion and wanted to portray that image, you wouldn't have postponed it for a month. You could have called him over from the first day he arrived. The effect would have been the same."
"I remember I reminded you that the sooner you tell them, the better...?"
Yi Chen curled his lips, knowing that he was in the wrong, and stopped quibbling.
"Yes, I did it on purpose, but I didn't forget what you asked me to do. It's reasonable to have some fun and reward myself, right?"
"I'm just not satisfied. I'm not satisfied with why you asked me to personally hand over such an important thing to them, and even provide them with information about the 'Three Lives Flower' and guide them into the game step by step."
There was actually a subtle hint of grievance in Yi Chen's words, which was like moonlight obscured by dark clouds, vague and elusive.
"Why give them that? Wouldn't it be better to just put them in danger and a dead end, and let them experience a near-death experience?"
The voice did not fluctuate at all due to the cruelty in his words. It remained as calm as a windless lake, and just narrated calmly.
"You'll find out."
"Also, do your job well and don't overstep the boundaries. I can allow you to complain occasionally, but if I hear you questioning my ideas again, I will kill you first."
There was no threat in that voice, only a calm narration, as if stating an obvious fact.
However, it is this plain tone that makes people shudder, as if it can penetrate the bone marrow and reach the depths of the soul.
"Okay, okay, I got it. I won't ask you about your ideas. I'll just execute them well. But..."
Yi Chen waved his hand indifferently, his handsome face showing no fear. Halfway through his speech, he suddenly changed the subject.
"If I could die in your hands, I wouldn't lose anything."
"Okay, then I'll kill you now. Your usefulness isn't irreplaceable anyway."
The voice heard it and said it without hesitation, and was about to take action. The air was suddenly filled with a tense atmosphere.
Yi Chen unfolded his folding fan, covered half of his face with it, and chuckled. There was a certain uninhibited and free-spiritedness in his laughter.
"I was just feeling sorry, but it's a pity that I can't be killed by you right now."
"After all... I still have a reason to live, so I can't die for now."
As Yi Chen spoke, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something secret and important, but that gleam of light disappeared quickly, so fast that it was difficult to capture.
"...When that day comes, you will realize your heart's desire."
Although the voice said something that seemed comforting, the certainty in its tone was as if it was narrating a fact that could have been realized in the first place and was beyond doubt.

After Gu Qingze returned to the brothel, he checked again to see if there was anything he had missed, then leaned against the wall with peace of mind, waiting quietly for Ling Xiao to take him back.
Chu Lingxiao seemed to be in a good mood and came early because he came to pick him up.
Although Yi Chen, the owner of the flower building, seemed to know everything, the other monsters in the flower building still knew nothing about it.
Anyway, this is the last day, so Gu Qingze did not act too recklessly and still maintained the necessary caution and low profile.
It might be because Ling Xiao had handled similar procedures for Chenluo before, and had accumulated experience and became more proficient, so he was quite efficient and fast when handling the procedures this time.
After completing the formalities smoothly, the two naturally held hands and prepared to leave the brothel.
Before leaving, Gu Qingze looked back thoughtfully at the overall appearance of the flower building.
"Why? Are you reluctant to leave?"
Chu Lingxiao looked at him looking at the brothel and teased him dissatisfiedly, holding his hand tighter, as if he was afraid that he would suddenly run back.
"No, I just want to remember this appearance clearly and avoid it when I see a similar one, so as to avoid running into it by accident in the future." Gu Qingze hurriedly explained.
"That's pretty good." Chu Lingxiao nodded with satisfaction, his lips curled up.
The two of them held each other's hands and gradually moved away from the brothel.
However, after leaving, they did not immediately return to Jinnian's brother's house, but found an inn.
There, they restored everything to its original state, rested for a night, and then went back.
