Gu Changyuan kicked the door open...
"Ah—" Feng Huaxian behind her exclaimed, covering her mouth with one hand and pointing into the room with the other.
Gu Changyuan looked closely and saw that Qing'er had a silk ribbon wrapped around her neck, and she was hanging in mid-air with her head down and her eyes closed, her life hanging in the balance.
Gu Changyuan's pupils contracted, and in a flash, he arrived in front of Qing'er. He raised his hand and with a wave, a gust of wind blew past, cutting the silk in two. He then stepped forward to catch Qing'er and gently placed her on the ground.
At this moment, Gu Changyuan saw Qing'er's face clearly. He saw that Qing'er's face was red and swollen, and she had long lost her former beauty. He almost did not recognize that this person was Qing'er.
"How could this burn be so severe?" Gu Changyuan frowned and asked, "Who could be so cruel as to do this?"
Feng Hua Xian Jiang, who had witnessed Gu Chang Yuan's skills, stepped forward and, abandoning his usual coldness, gently asked, "Chang Yuan, what you just did..."
Gu Changyuan glanced at Feng Huaxian, knowing that his skills had been exposed. "I'll explain to you later."
Gu Changyuan first carried Qing'er to the bed and laid her down. He checked her breathing before letting out a sigh of relief. "Luckily, we found her in time. She's alright."
Feng Huaxian frowned, seemingly not intending to inquire about Qing'er, but instead looked at Gu Changyuan and pressed, "Gu Changyuan, what exactly is your identity?"
Gu Changyuan knew he couldn't hide it any longer and was about to explain when Hua Gu downstairs heard the commotion and rushed upstairs, asking anxiously, "What's going on? What's going on?"
As soon as Hua Gu entered the room, she saw the broken silk lying to the side and the chair kicked over. When she saw Qing'er lying on the bed, she immediately understood. She rushed forward anxiously and said, "Oh, my Qing'er! I'll sell everything I own to help you find the murderer and let you take revenge! Why did you have to do this? You died so unjustly, what will you do if you become a wronged ghost!"
Qing'er seemed to have heard Hua Gu's voice. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that Gu Changyuan and the others were there. Her eyes immediately reddened.
She covered her face and burst into tears, sobbing, "Waaah, why did you save me in this state? Just let me die and be done with it, so people won't laugh at me!"
Holding Qing'er's hand, Hua Gu looked at her almost unrecognizable appearance and said with tears streaming down her face, "Good Qing'er, don't worry. Hua Gu promises you that we will never let the murderer get away with it. When we find him, we'll make him ugly too, and then chop him into eight pieces! Hua Gu will then find you a good family to marry into!"
Feng Huaxian frowned slightly upon hearing Hua Gu's words, but said nothing. However, seeing Gu Changyuan get up and quietly leave the room, she suspected his background and identity and followed him.
"Changyuan." Feng Huaxian called out to Gu Changyuan.
Gu Changyuan smiled awkwardly. "Hua'er, what's wrong?"
“You haven’t told me your identity yet,” Feng Huaxian said.
"Identity? Ha, what identity do I have? I'm just a servant who runs errands." Gu Changyuan chuckled. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to reveal his identity, since Thousand Absolute Mountain strictly forbade the disclosure of one's identity.
Feng Huaxian looked at Gu Changyuan with great interest. "Really? I don't think so. The skills you just showed were quite impressive."
Gu Changyuan scratched his head, unsure how to explain.
Just as Gu Changyuan was sweating profusely with anxiety, Hua Gu came out of the room, glanced at the two of them, and sighed helplessly, "I've already persuaded Qing'er to go to sleep. I really didn't expect something like this to happen. Now that Qing'er is collapsed, how are we supposed to continue our business!"
Seeing Hua Gu's worried expression, Feng Hua Xian stepped forward and said, "Hua Gu, don't worry. With my musical skills, I should be able to keep going for a while. Otherwise, I can add a few more performances every day."
“But this…” Hua Gu looked at Feng Hua Xian’s face with a conflicted expression and sighed helplessly. It wasn’t that she looked down on Feng Hua Xian, but the red birthmark on her face was truly frightening.
"Don't worry, Miss Hua, I've already thought of a solution." Feng Huaxian said with a confident smile, "Please wait for me."
After saying that, Feng Huaxian went into her room next door and closed the door.
Gu Changyuan was puzzled. He always felt that something was wrong with Feng Huaxian recently, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"Has Hua'er been sick lately?" Gu Changyuan cautiously probed.
"No, why do you ask that?" Hua Gu looked at Gu Changyuan with a puzzled expression.
“She seems quite depressed these past few days,” Gu Changyuan said.
“I’m busy collecting money and doing accounts every day, how would I know about this! But I think it might be because a lot of people have been comparing her to Qing’er lately, which has made her feel bad?” Hua Gu said.
Gu Changyuan frowned, lost in thought.
Just then, Feng Huaxian's door opened, and Gu Changyuan and Hua Gu looked at her, immediately stunned.
"Oh my, this is incredible! This is truly incredible..." Hua Gu pointed at Feng Hua Xian with a delighted expression, grinning from ear to ear.
Although the birthmark on Feng Huaxian's face was still there, it had been outlined in paint into the shape of a peony, which was now vividly and beautifully blooming.
Gu Changyuan was stunned by Feng Huaxian's appearance. She appeared before him in a stunning way, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. In an instant, all beauty paled in comparison...
"Hua Gu, I wonder if this will be of any help to you?" Feng Hua Xian smiled slightly, exuding charm.
Hua Gu beamed from ear to ear, "Of course! You look so beautiful! Absolutely gorgeous! Quick, quick, go change your clothes, we're counting on you tonight!"
After saying that, Hua Gu pulled Feng Hua Xian toward the dressing room. As they passed in front of him, Gu Changyuan smelled an alluring fragrance.
