Picking up the teacup on the table, which was already empty, Gu Liyan, his mouth dry, coughed softly, "Cough cough, Mo Wang, go boil some more water for me, cough cough..."
An Qianbai scurried in, and before Gu Liyan could say anything, she hid behind him, too ashamed to show her face.
Seeing An Qianbai's pitiful appearance, looking at him with a wronged expression, Gu Liyan couldn't help but smile and tease her:
"I say, just a few days ago you were acting all fearless, how come you're so scared of Mo Han now?"
An Qianbai shook her head vigorously, indicating that she had not encountered the great demon king Mo Han.
Seeing her anxious expression, Gu Liyan became puzzled. "You're so scared that you're sweating profusely. Did you see the warden?"
An Qianbai shook her head; she couldn't explain it either. So she simply looked at the doorway, her eyes filled with intense fear.
Gu Liyan shook his head and smiled wryly, but he became somewhat expectant. "I want to see who scared you like this..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure he had almost forgotten from the depths of his memory appeared before him.
Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback, staring at Hua Yuxian at the door for a long time without coming back to his senses.
"Aren't you going to greet your old friends?" Hua Yuxian smiled and reminded Gu Liyan when she saw him staring blankly.
Gu Liyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked away and politely said, "Ah, I was rude. Sister Yuxian, it's been a long time. You... have become even more beautiful."
After holding it in for a long time, Gu Liyan finally came up with a reason that could be considered polite, but this reason took on a different meaning for Hua Yuxian.
Hearing Gu Liyan praise her beauty, Hua Yuxian smiled radiantly, "I didn't expect you to start praising other people's beauty too. It seems you've changed a bit..."
Gu Liyan nodded awkwardly, perhaps implying that he now knew how to say nice things?
But An Qianbai heard it differently. It was obvious that Hua Yuxian's gaze was fixed on Gu Liyan, and she definitely liked Gu Liyan.
But none of that matters anymore. The one who truly cares is Gu Liyan, and he doesn't even try to hide his gaze from her!
An Qianbai felt uneasy watching the two chatting and laughing, and even became a little angry. She immediately picked up the teapot on the table and walked between the two of them, not forgetting to bump into Gu Liyan as she did so to vent her anger.
Gu Liyan watched as An Qianbai stormed past him, feeling somewhat confused: What's wrong with Mo Wang? Could it be that she's afraid of Hua Yuxian? Is she really that scary?
Thinking of this, Gu Liyan subconsciously looked at Hua Yuxian and saw that her chest was wounded by swords, revealing her fair skin. Gu Liyan immediately blushed and coughed lightly, hurriedly reminding her:
"Ahem, well... Sister Yuxian, I see your injuries are quite severe. Why don't you go change your clothes and heal your wounds first?"
Only then did Hua Yuxian remember the purpose of her visit. Looking at Gu Liyan's embarrassed and flushed face, she secretly chuckled to herself, her gaze unabashed, and nodded generously.
"Okay, then wait for me a moment."
Seeing Hua Yuxian leave, Gu Liyan breathed a sigh of relief, silently reminding himself, "Gu Liyan, Gu Liyan, you must be careful about your behavior and never do anything to betray Xiao Bai!"
Hua Yuxian turned and left the study. Looking at An Qianbai, who was boiling water, she narrowed her eyes and coldly transmitted her voice: "I really didn't expect you to be Gu Liyan's slave!"
Upon hearing this telepathic message, An Qianbai immediately jumped up, hurriedly stood up, and turned to look at Hua Yuxian with a wary expression.
That wary gaze now carried a hint of defiance, a stark contrast to the look in their eyes when they first met.
Hua Yuxian smiled at An Qianbai, "You didn't reveal your ulterior motives when we first met, and you even knew how to be patient. I just chatted with Gu Liyan for a few minutes, and you started to get angry. It seems you have designs on Gu Liyan."
An Qianbai, whose face had been exposed by Hua Yuxian, made no attempt to hide her feelings. She straightened her back and stared at Hua Yuxian with a defiant look on her face.
Looking at An Qianbai's appearance, Hua Yuxian couldn't help but laugh, "Hmph, you overconfident little bitch!"
In Hua Yuxian's eyes, no one except her younger sister could stand in her way of competing with Gu Liyan!
Hua Yuxian walked past An Qianbai with a cold smile. With her current status and position, An Qianbai was nothing more than a pawn that she could manipulate at will, and she didn't care to fight with her at all.
but--
"Since you like Gu Liyan, then as one of Gu Liyan's admirers, I will naturally not underestimate your existence."
An Qianbai frowned as she looked at Hua Yuxian, instinctively becoming wary.
Hua Yuxian looked at An Qianbai with a smile, sizing him up from head to toe, and couldn't help but click her tongue, "Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity, with so many restrictions on you, you probably don't even have a chance to compete with me!"
An Qianbai rolled her eyes. She didn't want to fight with her at all; as long as Gu Liyan had her in his heart, that was enough...
"Xiao Li~" Hua Yuxian called out seductively, and An Qianbai's eyelids twitched violently.
Xiao Li?!
How dare you call me "Xiao Li"!
An Qianbai clenched her fists, a fire burning inside her that she wanted to vent: Only I can call him Xiao Li! No other woman can!
Gu Liyan frowned slightly. He had never heard any woman other than An Qianbai call him "Xiao Li," but he was too embarrassed to refuse Hua Yuxian, so he could only hold back and ask:
"What does Sister Yuxian want with me?"
"I've encountered difficulties in my mission. I wonder if you could help me?" Hua Yuxian took off her tattered clothes and, feigning pain, spoke in a weak and pleading tone.
