Ping'er nodded and ran off.
The candlelight in the top-tier room was very dim, seemingly intentionally so.
Gu Yan sipped his tea, watching Feng Huaxian, who was sitting not far from him, wearing a veil.
"What would you like to hear, young master?"
Gu Yan squinted at Feng Huaxian, his tone suddenly turning icy: "I don't want to hear it, I just want to see your face."

Gu Changyuan was instantly enraged, pointing at Gu Yan, "It was you! You're the one who ruined her like this, aren't you?! You brought about this marriage between heaven and earth and helped her achieve the Dao, but you've corrupted a pure heart! You, you don't deserve to be my master!"
