Chapter 373: Gloating over misfortune?
At first, Gu Guan felt a little gloating. After all, as the fan of He Zhaojun and Wen Ziduan, he naturally paid more attention to Long Feibai, the potential threat.
Before He Zhaojun came back, Wen Ziduan still needed to know about He Zhaojun's recent situation through Long Feibai. He frequently traveled between Long Mansion and the Third Prince's Mansion, and he knew Long Feibai's habits and living conditions very well.
During this year, Long Feibai spent most of his time practicing medicine and asking for prescriptions. He was proficient in the art of poison and witchcraft. After arriving in the Central Plains, he often read medical books all night long, very hard. When he put down the book, his eyes were confused, his hand on his chin, and he stared into the distance in a daze. Gu Guan knew that he was probably thinking about He Zhaojun again.
Whenever this happened, Gu Guan would stand up for his young master, jump down from the beams, and joke with him, leaving him no time to think about anything else. This happened again and again, and Gu Guan felt uncomfortable if he didn't see Long Feibai for a day.
Today, when he saw He Zhaojun calling Long Feibai "Young Master Long" so unfamiliarly, and even asking him to take out the Golden Phoenix Gu as the first sentence, Gu Guan felt inexplicably happy.
As for why he was happy, it was not because Long Feibai regained his freedom, but because no one could stand between his young master and the young lady. At least that was what Gu Guan himself felt.
Long Feibai's face turned from white to red, and then from red to white. In an instant, his entire body lost its color. In Gu Guan's words, he had not had this skin color even after he died three days ago.
"Are you really so heartless?" Long Feibai shook his head in disbelief. He reached out his hand and felt He Zhaojun's wrist to feel her pulse. "You never called me Young Master Long, but what happened?"
He frowned, feeling that He Zhaojun's pulse was steady and there was nothing wrong with her. She was even in better spirits than a year ago.
He Zhaojun retracted her wrist and decided to speak frankly: "To be honest, Young Master Long, I have lost my memory for over a year, so I can no longer remember how we met."
"However, in Lingnan, where I live, there is also a local shaman who is skilled in the art of sorcery. He discovered that I have a Gu worm in my body. It comes from the Miao border and is extremely rare. It is also harmless to my body, so he did not remove it for me. However, he also said that this Gu requires the concerted efforts of two people and long-term coexistence to achieve its maximum effect. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time and effort."
Long Feibai's face turned pale as he shook his head. "You forgot, but I won't forget. It was you who made me realize that there are so many emotions in this world. You made me understand what is the righteousness of family and country, what it means to sacrifice one's life. All of this, you don't remember?"
He Zhaojun remained noncommittal. "What if I remember? What if I don't? Young Master Long, this Golden Phoenix Gu protected me well and allowed me to reach Lingnan safely. I'll never forget your life-saving grace. As for what you mentioned, I've already repaid you. You never owe me anything."
"...Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will naturally obey you." After a while, Long Feibai stood up and his face returned to calm, as if he had never panicked or struggled from beginning to end.
He Zhaojun nodded, but to be on the safe side, she still asked, "Will removing this thing have any effect on you?"
Long Feibai smiled bitterly in his heart. In the face of some things, what does life and death matter?
"It doesn't matter anymore." Long Feibai said.
