Gu Liyan and Jin Yi walked down the street, their outfits attracting a lot of attention. Some people avoided them and took detours, while some women and men were infatuated with them.
However, after walking for a while, Gu Liyan's strength began to give out. The beautiful face under the mask turned pale, and cold sweat dripped down her cheeks and onto her collar.
Jin Yi, who was beside him, noticed that Gu Liyan's pace had slowed down. He turned around and saw that Gu Liyan's breathing was unsteady. He asked with a worried look, "Lord Gu, shall we go back?"
Gu Liyan frowned slightly, feeling extremely resentful of his own incompetence. He still wanted to go to the Shadow Hall to see if he could meet his "Little Bai," but his physical weakness prevented him from refuting Jin Yi's words, so he could only nod.
Just as the two were about to head back, a provocative voice suddenly rang out from behind them.
"Oh, isn't this Jin Yi, the top physician of Tianwei? What's this? Are you starting to grovel and become someone else's servant?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Yi turned his head and saw that the newcomer was also dressed in white, with a handsome and refined appearance but also a feminine temperament, and was looking at him with a mocking smile.
"It's you—Jin Shuang!" Jin Yi frowned slightly, and unpleasant memories in his heart erupted like a volcano!
Gu Liyan noticed Jin Yi's change, and looking at Jin Shuang's arrogant expression, he didn't seem to be a member of the Heavenly Guard, did he? This man wasn't in the crowd when Gu Liyan met Jin Xiao…
Jin Shuang walked up to him in a few steps, but instead of greeting Jin Yi again, she looked at Gu Liyan, who was dressed in white, and noticed that he and Jin Yi had a similar temperament.
However, Jin Shuang knew that Gu Liyan in front of her was not a person from Tianfu, but one of the most filthy people in this wretched mortal world!
Jin Shuang's eyes were filled with anger. In his memory, Jin Yi would never be so depraved!
He couldn't help but speak coldly, "I never expected that you would come to this mortal world and meet the young men of Qingge Hall. I really underestimated you! You actually have such charm!"
Gu Liyan frowned slightly. He was being treated like a virgin once again, which really annoyed him!
Just as I was about to say something, I heard Jin Yi speak calmly and indifferently:
"Jin Shuang, as the head of the enforcement team in this election, please consider the bigger picture and refrain from making unkind remarks that could damage the harmony with the chosen ones." Jin Yi's attitude was humble, giving the impression of being subservient.
Gu Liyan felt very uncomfortable. It wasn't that she disliked Jin Yi's tone, but rather that she felt Jin Yi shouldn't be so deferential to this rude guy.
If he weren't still recovering from his injuries and unable to teach Jin Shuang a lesson about how to behave, he probably would have already retaliated when Jin Shuang claimed to be a virgin!
(As the saying goes, a gentleman acts without words; I'm being lenient by not biting you!)
However, Jin Yi's words took on a different meaning for Jin Shuang. This was because she had been constantly scolded and disciplined by Jin Yi from childhood to adulthood!
Having finally let go of her past and now considering herself superior, how could she possibly accept his reprimand? She immediately pointed angrily at Jin Yi and coldly said:
"Jin Yi! Are you lecturing me? Don't forget that I am a sixth-rank marquis, and you are just a third-rank king! If I accuse you of insubordination, do you know what will happen to you?" Jin Shuang squinted and spoke in a vicious low voice.
A sharp glint flashed in Jin Yi's eyes, but he immediately suppressed it. He couldn't break with Jin Shuang at this moment; he had to prioritize protecting Gu Liyan...
Gu Liyan, who was standing next to Jin Shuang, was already stunned when he heard Jin Shuang's words.
Staring at Jin Shuang in astonishment, his heart was already churning with turmoil:
"He, he just described the ranks of ordinary citizens in the Nine Springs Realm... First-class citizens, second-class officials, third-class can be kings... fourth-class prime ministers, fifth-class emperors, sixth-class marquises... seventh-class arbitrators, eighth-class judges, ninth-class masters, tenth-class legends!"
Gu Liyan frowned. He realized that the hierarchy of Tianfu seemed to be based on the rules of the Nine Springs Realm!
Could it be that—
Does this mean that the Punisher has already been to this world?
But that doesn't make sense. If someone is here to punish him, why did Gu Changyuan give him the mission of creating a new world?
What exactly is going on? Could it be that Tianfu really has some unspeakable secret?
Gu Liyan gritted her teeth, suppressing her curiosity to press Jin Shuang and Jin Yi for answers. She then stepped forward and asked in a calm yet polite tone, "May I ask your name? How dare you be so rude?"
Jin Shuang was slightly taken aback, stunned by Gu Liyan's question. Was he blaming her? Or was he blaming her? Or was he blaming her?
However, upon noticing Gu Liyan's regal aura, she didn't immediately object. But upon closer inspection, the aura vanished, leaving only a strong medicinal scent, likely due to recent long-term medication use.
"Young master, you are not a member of Tianfu, so you should not meddle in Tianfu affairs! Otherwise, if you choke to death while drinking medicine, you can't blame anyone else!" Jin Shuang squinted and looked coldly at Gu Liyan, speaking without any politeness.
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, looking at Jin Shuang without saying anything. Jin Shuang subconsciously looked into Gu Liyan's purple eyes and immediately saw his own reflection. In that instant, he lost his mind and forgot his feelings. A few seconds after he was lost in thought, Gu Liyan suddenly closed his eyes and frowned.
Upon seeing this, Jin Yi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Are you alright?"
Gu Liyan shook his head, and when he opened his eyes again, sweat was seeping around them. He glanced at Jin Shuang, who had already come to her senses, and shook his head with a smile, "It's nothing."
Jin Shuang shook her head, feeling a sudden blankness in her memory, and then pointed at Gu Liyan coldly, saying, "Who exactly are you! You actually know how to use hypnosis!"
