Gu Liyan knew that Mo Chen didn't intend for her to get involved in the matter of the dragon's resentment, but when Gu Liyan saw the anxious look on Qingge's face, her heart softened. "As the saying goes, natural disasters and man-made calamities, all resentment must have a source. As long as we find the source and resolve it, everything should be fine..."
Although he said he could solve it, his expression remained completely relaxed.
Qingge knew that Gu Liyan intended to help her, and a relieved smile appeared on her face. "In that case, I will go and have Qingyang send people to investigate the dragon descendants who are still alive from back then and resolve this matter."
Gu Liyan nodded in understanding and said, "Okay, I'll go back to my room and wait for you to come back before we discuss this matter."
Seeing that Gu Liyan didn't seem to blame her at all, Qingge finally smiled, nodded, and left.
“Actually, you can go with her. After all, you can’t trust Qingyang anymore. It would be terrible if you fell into a trap,” Mo Chen said.
“With us keeping an eye on him, he’ll be fine. We can talk to him when Qingyang slips up on his own.” Gu Liyan thought for a moment and said, “My soul has told me to go back. When Qingge comes back, tell him to wait for me.”
Mo Chen nodded. "Okay."
Mo Chen suddenly remembered something and looked at Gu Liyan with a suspicious expression. "By the way, is your injury alright?"
Gu Liyan nodded. "It's all over now."
Mo Chen shook his head. "His strength isn't that great, but his recovery is fast."
Gu Liyan retorted irritably, "But I've beaten you before!"
"Please, I deliberately admitted defeat!"
"That's still a win for me!"
"Okay, okay, whatever you say!"

Meanwhile, the General's Mansion was in complete chaos. Long Wei, covered in dark black dragon scales and with crimson eyes, had already turned the mansion into a bloodbath.
Hearing the screams coming from not far away, Li Hao trembled. Thinking that it might be where Xiao Lü was being held, he secretly ran over.
Long Wei used the iron chain to cleave anyone who approached her in two. Now, the chain was covered in blood, and the sound it made was terrifying.
Yang Qi was not dead yet. The other end of the chain was tied around his neck. As Long Wei moved, he was dragged on the ground and tumbled along behind.
"Save me...save me..." Yang Qi sobbed, looking at his terrified subordinate in the distance. "Whoever can save me, I'll give them ten thousand taels of silver!"
The servants, who had been terrified, rushed towards Long Wei as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline upon hearing Yang Qi's words.
Long Wei glanced at the crowd, raised the iron chain in her hand and swept it out. Before she could get close to the group, a powerful sword aura shot out, instantly cutting the person who rushed up in half at the waist, leaving a bloody scene.
Yang Qi was stunned, and the people who hadn't even rushed up were also stunned.
Seeing the group of people standing there dumbfounded and stiff, Long Wei pulled on the iron chain and walked towards the door.
Li Hao arrived at that moment and his face lit up with joy when he saw Long Wei's back. "Little Green Girl!"
Long Wei was startled, paused, and turned to look at Li Hao. The moment Li Hao saw Long Wei, his face stiffened. "You, you're not Xiao Lü..."
Long Wei's lips curled slightly upward, her voice devoid of emotion, chillingly cold and hoarse, "What a fine young man! It's a pity that you are so fond of him, yet you have no ability to protect the one you love!"
Hearing Long Wei's words, Li Hao got goosebumps all over.
Long Wei tilted his head, a ferocious smile spreading across his face as he looked at Li Hao. "Young man, do you want to kill me?"
Li Hao trembled all over, his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground. His hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably and the sword fell to the ground.
Long Wei's gaze sharpened, and when she saw the sword on the ground, her expression changed drastically. She was extremely angry, yet also somewhat fearful. After thinking for a moment, she dragged Li Hao away hastily.
The sound of the chains grew fainter and fainter until it could no longer be heard. Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Li Hao stood there for a moment, then picked up the sword from the ground, somewhat puzzled: Did she leave because she saw this sword?
Footsteps approached from a distance. Li Hao didn't linger any longer, grabbed his sword, and left. He had to tell Gu Liyan and the others about this.
Gu Liyan returned to his room, and another Gu Liyan spoke with a solemn expression, "Lan Ying seems to have received a mission to lead troops to launch a surprise attack on Shuyi Kingdom, and plans to invite you to go."
Gu Liyan frowned and said, "Once the Dragon's Grievance is unleashed, the Mighty Dragon Kingdom will suffer continuous natural disasters. Let alone launching a sneak attack on others, even self-defense will be a problem. If she comes again today, just refuse her."
Another Gu Liyan nodded. "I didn't bring you back because I was worried about her, but it seems that Li Erniang is getting impatient."
Gu Liyan frowned and said, "Although I promised her, it can only be done when I have time. You don't need to be polite with her. The injury was caused by him, so it is only right to help him. Just let her wait. And it's time for you to regain your sight."
The other Gu Liyan smiled and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking. Since you already know, then go find that kid Li Hao."
"Li Hao?" Gu Liyan looked at her other self in confusion. "You are a soul being, so you could see the difference in Li Hao's soul?"
"No, I didn't see it. I just felt that the power dormant deep within his soul was gradually awakening. This time, Long Yuan should be able to help you."
Gu Liyan nodded. "Okay, I'll go find him right now!"
——
Li Hao left the general's mansion, intending to go to the east city to find Li Erniang, but as he walked, he suddenly found that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and soon he was covered in sweat.
"What kind of weather is this?"
"It's so hot! I need to go home and escape the heat!"
