Lin Wan'er raised her head and looked at Gu Yuan: "Gu Yuan, you must be careful and take good care of yourself in the future. Master is gone, and Senior Sister has disappeared. Besides Daddy, you are the only one by my side."
Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment. He looked at Lin Wan'er's serious face, took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, your master is my good friend. She saved me once before. I dare not die until I have avenged her."
Lin Wan'er nodded, glanced outside and said, "I should go back now. If you need me to do anything in the future, you can come to the City Lord's Mansion to find me. Anyway, you can easily come in now with your Yuangu identity."
Speaking of this, Gu Yuan suddenly remembered and asked, "By the way, how is the princess at the City Lord's Mansion?"
Lin Wan'er frowned slightly and said, "The princess is still the same. His Highness stays there almost all day, even during meal times. Aside from the nighttime rest time when I take care of him, he never leaves her side."
Gu Yuan sneered in his heart, if he had known this would happen, he would not have done it in the first place.
"From now on, you should pay more attention to the City Lord's Mansion, especially Shui Ningye and the two people around him."
After pondering for a while, Gu Yuan reminded.
"Um?"
Lin Wan'er is not stupid, but extremely smart. She heard some other meaning in this sentence.
"What do you mean by that?"
Although she had a rough guess, Lin Wan'er still wanted to confirm it.
"You should understand what I mean. Shui Ningye is not a good person. The princess has become like this, and it is inseparable from him, Shui Ningye."
Even though Lin Wan'er had guessed something just now, she was still shocked after hearing Gu Yuan's confirmation.
"Why? What does the princess's condition have to do with Your Highness?"
Lin Wan'er asked with a serious expression.
"This is a long story, and it involves the Lin family in the imperial capital. Are you sure you want to hear it?" Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then asked.
Lin Wan'er nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Gu Yuan sat down, recalling what happened back then.
"It happened not long ago, when your master hadn't left yet..."
Gu Yuan glanced at Lin Wan'er quietly, and after finding that she was normal, he continued, "At that time, I sent people to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion to find out some information, and then inadvertently discovered the conversation between Shui Ningye and his bodyguard Ming Xing.
The general content of the conversation was that the current emperor knew that Lin Tianpo, the old man in the imperial capital, had broken through to the Spirit King realm. The emperor was very wary of him and even worried that they would shake the royal power and wanted to eliminate them as soon as possible. When Shui Ningye learned of this, he was unwilling to accept it because the position of crown prince had not yet been established and he had a gifted younger brother who might compete with him for the throne. He also happened to have learned in advance that the Lin family might assassinate them in Beastmaster City, so he set up a trap to seize the opportunity to obtain evidence of the Lin family's rebellion.
"Do you remember the notice that His Highness issued to arrest me throughout the city?" Gu Yuan looked at Lin Wan'er and asked.
"Know."
"This announcement wasn't his original intention. The reason he made such a big fuss was to tell the assassins in the dark that he and the princess were in Beastmaster City. That way, the assassins wouldn't miss the perfect opportunity and would definitely attack them. Shui Ningye, however, was so smart as to think he had made all the necessary preparations, just waiting for the trap. Who knew that something unexpected might have happened along the way? Ming Xing was injured by an assassin who was even weaker than him, and then the princess was also poisoned by the assassin with Soul Devouring Powder, which almost destroyed her spiritual veins."
"After all this happened, the princess didn't know whether she knew about Shui Ningye, the role her own brother played in it, or what, but she just fell asleep."
After saying this, Gu Yuan sighed. He really didn't know what to do with Shui Yaoyao.
"Is His Highness so scheming? He actually used me and his own sister as bait!"
Lin Wan'er's pretty face was cold. She really couldn't imagine that Shui Ningye, who usually looked gentle and elegant, would have such a face!
"Alas, you can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. Shui Ningye is a guy who is too clever for his own good. He might even be used as a gun by others." Gu Yuan sighed.
Suddenly, Lin Wan'er stood up, her face full of anxiety: "What should we do about this? Isn't it dangerous to let him stay with the princess?"
Gu Yuan said calmly, "Don't worry. Although Shui Ningye played a dirty role in this matter, I think he might have been used. He probably didn't expect things to turn out like this."
"But no matter what, isn't it all thanks to him that the princess has become like this? It's unbelievable that he is the current prince and the princess's biological brother, yet he is worse than a beast!"
Lin Wan'er said angrily.
Gu Yuan looked at Lin Wan'er helplessly and said, "Don't react so strongly. Being born in an imperial family means you have no control over anything. You and I are not like them, so how can we know about the affairs of the royal family?"
"well!"
Sighing, Lin Wan'er said anxiously, "No, I can't leave the princess there alone. I have to go back quickly in case something unexpected happens."
Gu Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "If that's the case, then fine. You go back first, and I'll go over tomorrow and talk to your father about the Lin family."
"Okay! My father is free tomorrow, so I can take you there then." Lin Wan'er said.
"Well, fine then. You can go back first. By the way, remember to practice your skills and spiritual techniques well and strive to achieve a spiritual master breakthrough as soon as possible."
"Hehe, don't worry, I will definitely break through to the Spiritual Master level before you! I'm leaving first!"
With a flash of her figure, Lin Wan'er quickly left the room.
Gu Yuan rubbed his eyebrows, his face looking a little tired.
I couldn't help but cover my chest, where I felt a burning pain.
"Spirit Masters are truly terrifying. Not only is their spiritual energy powerful to a certain degree, but their spiritual skills are also honed to an extremely abnormal level. I think the first-grade spiritual skills in that old fellow's hands are comparable to the power of my third-grade or even fourth-grade spiritual skills. It's not that the quality of my spiritual skills is inferior, but the difference is caused by the actual realm of strength."
Only after Gu Yuanzhang took a recovery pill orally did he feel better.
"Even if it's not expensive, I don't need to be discouraged. After all, I can already withstand two palm strikes from a powerful Spirit Master. And if I didn't want to see the true strength of that Blood Coffin guy, I wouldn't be unable to withstand the third palm strike. At most, I would be seriously injured."
Gu Yuan pulled up a smile. He was really unconscious after receiving two palm strikes, but it was not caused by the old man in black. Instead, he knocked himself unconscious.
Because he wanted to see what kind of strength this guy Xue Guan had and how strong he was. More importantly, he wanted to see what kind of attitude Xue Guan had towards him!
Although he was unconscious, it now seemed obvious that the blood coffin had solved the problem. Gu Yuan knew that the blood coffin could still be trusted for the time being.
"I don't know what's going on at the pawn shop. I have to go check it out."
After tidying himself up, Gu Yuan stood up and walked out of the restaurant room, then headed towards the pawnshop.
