"I admit that I did deliberately lure you here, but I didn't have any clear purpose."
Yi Chen lightly touched his graceful chin with his knuckles, seemingly thinking casually, and then the corners of his mouth curled up.
"If I had to give a purpose, it would be that it's fun."
"Interesting?" Gu Qingze repeated in disbelief, and then suddenly realized that he might have been fooled for the second time.
"Yeah, it's fun."
"Don't you think it's funny to see you trying so hard to pretend to be a woman and being so cautious for the past month to avoid arousing suspicion? Even your friends are constantly changing their identities and trying to find new ways to pay my brothel?"
Yi Chen seemed to find it more and more interesting the more he talked. He opened the exquisite folding fan in his hand, used the fan to cover half of his face, and laughed freely without any scruples.
Gu Qingze didn't pay attention to his words that were meant to make him angry, but instead keenly grasped the key information in them.
"So... you already knew from the first day I entered the brothel..."
He didn't say any more. He was not sure how much Yi Chen knew at the moment, and it would be unwise for him to reveal the information on his own initiative.
"There's no need to be so vigilant, my little beauty. After all... you're basically invisible to me now."
Yi Chen raised his eyebrows, as if he was provoking someone, opened his lips slightly, and slowly uttered a few words.
"Sanshenghua..."
"Didn't you come to me to find more information about it?"
When Gu Qingze heard the word "Sanshenghua", his eyes flickered slightly, and a barely perceptible crack appeared on the calmness on his face, and his breathing quickened at that moment.
But soon, he suppressed his inner fluctuations and returned to normal.
How on earth did Yi Chen know that he was looking for the "Three Lives Flower"? He hadn't even told his brother Jinnian or Su Han...!
Gu Qingze pretended to look at him with confusion, spread his hands and said.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Heh." Yi Chen looked at him pretending to be stupid, pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, and chuckled. There was a bit of helplessness and teasing in his laughter. "Don't you know? It seems that you don't want the information anymore?"
Gu Qingze also smiled faintly, "Although I don't know what the Sanshenghua you are talking about is, I have a curious heart and I can reluctantly listen."
"Since you're so reluctant, I won't say anything."
Yi Chen's narrow eyes were filled with teasing, and the look he gave him seemed to have a hook in it. Then he slowly approached Gu Qingze and patted his shoulder lightly.
The moment Gu Qingze was photographed by him, his whole body seemed to be frozen by frost, and he was completely stiff, but he still tried hard to remain calm and not let his inner panic show.
"Why, are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Yi Chen's tone was light and with a hint of teasing, he smiled gently.
Gu Qingze ignored his teasing, just thought silently for a while, and finally decided to stop pretending.
After all, he had been seen through by Yi Chen. He knew very well that no matter whether he could obtain the information about the "Three Lives Flower" or not, if Yi Chen wanted to harm him, the outcome would probably be the same whether he pretended or not.
"It's just a joke, don't be so nervous."
Yi Chen looked at Gu Qingze in silence, and a barely perceptible light suddenly flashed in his eyes, like a meteor in the dark night, fleeting.
Gu Qingze took a deep breath and tried to relax himself. "I won't force it. Can you tell me the information you know about Sanshenghua?"
"That's good." Yi Chen heard it and gave him a meaningful look, as if his eyes could see through everything. "Sometimes, if you express your desires honestly, I can satisfy you."
Is this considered expressing your desire?
Gu Qingze was full of doubts, but he did not refute or argue. He just looked at him quietly.
Yi Chen ignored his gaze on him, leisurely sat back in the chair, crossed his legs, his posture elegant yet a bit lazy, and slowly spoke.
"The Sansheng Flower, according to legend, is a mysterious flower that appears randomly in certain locations. It is extremely precious and possesses magical powers that can fulfill the wishes of those who receive it..."
Gu Qingze listened to Yi Chen's story and was secretly confused. The version Yi Chen told was slightly different from what he had heard before, but the difference was not big, so he did not ask any further questions at this time.
"Although it's completely random, the intelligence I received indicates that it appeared in the Demon Realm's Xuanyin this time. Oh, that's where the Demon Realm and the Demon Realm meet, as you know."
When Gu Qingze heard this, he was instantly filled with deep surprise, as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping his heart, causing his breathing to stagnate.
Yi Chen knew that he wanted to obtain the "Three Lives Flower", which already seemed incredible to him. He didn't expect that he even knew such specific details... Why was that?
Yi Chen paused here, took out a sparkling object from his sleeve and threw it to him.
"Take it with you, you'll need it."
"What is this?" Gu Qingze asked curiously after taking the thing he threw, his eyes full of inquiry.
"Well... you can use it as an aid in obtaining the 'Three Lives Flower'. When the time is right, it will naturally come into play."
Yi Chen waved his fan casually, thought for a moment, and then spoke, but his words seemed to be made up on the spur of the moment.
