"You're back."
He replied lightly, and Gu Shang did not show any unusual reaction. Then he turned his gaze to Lin Wan'er again.
Han Ji glanced at Gu Yuan, then at Gu Shang, and was shocked beyond words.
"Master, what's your reaction? He called you by your name, and yet you reacted so calmly."
"Hey, little girl, you're here too?"
Looking at Han Ji beside Gu Shang, Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"Hmph! What are you doing here?" Han Ji snorted, looking dissatisfied.
"Why can't I come? Didn't you see your master didn't say anything?"
"Master is too lazy to pay attention to you!"
"Alright, alright, I don't want to bother with you. Go, go play somewhere else. I have something to discuss with your master."
Gu Yuan waved his hands and pushed Han Ji out.
"Master, look at him! He just loves to bully his disciples!"
Gu Shang looked at Gu Yuan helplessly and said, "I told you not to be so presumptuous. He is my disciple."
"Well, I really have something urgent to discuss with you!" Gu Yuan shrugged and said.
"Okay, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Gu Shang sat down and said.
"Hmm, that's it... Eh? What is this?"
Gu Yuan looked at the person on the bed, and suddenly looked at Gu Shang strangely.
"How did you get her here? What's going on?"
"Hmm? You know him?"
"Of course, Lin Wan'er, I've met her before."
Gu Yuan sat down next to Gu Shang, just like he was at home, completely ignoring Han Ji's pale face.
"She has an extremely cold ice body. Some time ago, I happened to encounter an explosion of coldness in her body and she almost died, so I brought her back."
Gu Shang omitted the matter of nightmares and ghosts. Such matters were of great importance, so it was better for others not to know about them.
"Extremely cold ice body? Holy shit, is it so incredible?"
Gu Yuan asked in shock. He was no longer the Xiaobai from before.
He was very aware of this physical abnormality.
"So I brought her back."
Gu Shang said as a matter of course.
"Um...yes, it would be better if you could teach her so as not to waste her energy."
Gu Yuan could see that Gu Shang was thinking of cherishing talent.
He knew that strong people were like this.
"Her family doesn't know yet." Gu Shang suddenly said.
“Cough cough cough…”
Gu Yuan was suddenly choked by this sentence. Was the feeling directly abducted?
"What are you thinking about? She was still sleeping when I arrived. I just brought her back. She didn't resist, which means she agreed." Gu Shang continued, as if she knew what Gu Yuan was thinking.
Gu Yuan's face was filled with black lines. What's the reason?
Han Ji also looked at Gu Shang strangely. For the first time, she realized that her master was a little...
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's get down to business."
Gu Yuan's expression suddenly became serious.
"You know that His Highness and the Princess are in the City Lord's Mansion, right?"
"Haven't you known this a long time ago? You brought that little girl to my place of entertainment, causing her brother to chase you the whole time. Have you been running away during this time?"
Gu Shang nodded and said with a smile.
"Uh...that's not the point."
Looking at the frustrated Gu Yuan, Han Ji chuckled.
Rolling his eyes at Han Ji, Gu Yuan continued, "I accidentally learned through some channels the reason why His Highness came to Beastmaster City. He used the princess as bait to lure people to attack them. The previous pursuit of me was just a name. His main purpose was to spread the news that he was in Beastmaster City!"
"Oh, and then?"
"Do you know who wants to attack them? Someone from the Lin family! The Lin family where General Lin Tianpo belongs to!"
"Well, go on."
"Then they used the princess as bait, hoping to trick the Lin family into attacking them. Then they set up an ambush, seized evidence of the Lin family's assassination, and ultimately wiped out the Lin family."
"What does it have to do with you and me?" Gu Shang asked calmly without any change on her face.
"What the hell? You should at least give me some reaction..."
Gu Yuan was anxious and said, "So Shui Yaoyao is in danger! How can we wipe out the Lin family without any substantial evidence? So this time Shui Yaoyao will definitely be hurt, or even die!"
"What does this have to do with you and me?" Gu Shang asked again.
"I……"
Yes, it really was none of his business, but... Gu Yuan didn't want Shui Yaoyao to get hurt.
"That's right, what does it have to do with us whether the princess is injured or not? We are just businessmen." Han Ji echoed from the side.
"Hey, you don't have to be so heartless, right? Shui Yaoyao and I have met once, and she is my friend. I can't just watch her fall into danger, right?"
Gu Yuan slapped the table and said helplessly.
"I think you want to be a hero and save the beauty, right?" Han Ji sneered.
"What do kids know? Go wherever it's cool."
"Okay, so you want to get involved in this mess?"
Gu Shang explained Gu Yuan's meaning in one sentence.
"Uh, yes!"
"I'm telling you, don't meddle in other people's business. You know how deep the water is here. This prince is really cruel. He doesn't even care about his own safety. After all, for someone who doesn't even care about his own sister's life, putting himself in danger is nothing."
Gu Shang shook her head, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her words. She hated people who would do anything for profit the most.
"See, you can't stand it anymore, right? Let's help Shui Yaoyao. This silly girl is probably still in the dark." Gu Yuan coaxed.
"No, I don't want to get involved in this kind of thing."
