"Ping'er." Gu Changyuan sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Besides you, Hua'er, there's only Ping'er. I really can't figure this girl out."
Feng Huaxian was slightly taken aback and asked with some surprise, "Ping'er? How could you not see through that girl?"
Thinking of Ping'er, she usually works silently and doesn't care about anything else because she's young. She seems like a naive little girl.
Gu Changyuan smiled and nodded, thinking of Ping'er's shrewd eyes, and said, "That girl is quite clever. When I first came here, she took good care of me."
Feng Huaxian smiled slightly, looked Gu Changyuan up and down, and asked curiously, "Changyuan, I'm really curious about your identity and what abilities you possess. You're so mysterious!"
Gu Changyuan smiled, sipped his tea, and said nothing.
Feng Huaxian stared at him and smiled, "Just now I saw that you knew that young master Jia's identity so clearly. Are you also from Yancheng?"
Gu Changyuan chuckled. "If I were from Yancheng, could you guess my identity?"
"I bet you're from a wealthy family, someone who came out to gain experience and ended up here," Feng Huaxian said with a smile.
Gu Changyuan smiled slightly and nodded. "If you say so, then so be it."
Feng Huaxian smiled and asked, "So, you left a few days ago to return to Yancheng, regain your identity, and then made a strong comeback?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Changyuan thought of Gu Yan and Gu Li's efforts to save Gu Liyan on Thousand Absolute Mountain, as well as the emergence of that divine artifact. His hand paused slightly, and he subconsciously put down his teacup, his face becoming solemn. He remained silent.
Seeing that Gu Changyuan's expression was off, Feng Huaxian smiled awkwardly, "Did I...did I say something wrong and upset you?"
Gu Changyuan stood up, his face solemn, and said, "No, it has nothing to do with you. I just feel a little guilty thinking about how my junior brother's life is still uncertain and I ran out here."
"Your junior brother?" Feng Huaxian looked at Gu Changyuan with suspicion.
"Yes, my junior brother is seriously injured, and my master and uncle are doing everything they can to save him..." At this point, Gu Changyuan had already made up his mind. "No, I think it's better for me to go back. After all, that divine artifact cannot afford any mishap..."
Feng Huaxian was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise rising in her heart: a divine artifact?
Gu Changyuan took out a small, exquisitely packaged porcelain bottle and placed it in Feng Huaxian's hand, saying, "This is for you."
"What, what is this?" Feng Huaxian asked in confusion.
“This is a special healing medicine made at home; it’s very effective,” Gu Changyuan said.
"Healing medicine? Why are you giving me this?" Feng Huaxian asked in confusion.
"Qing'er's face was burned, wasn't it? This medicine is for treating the burns on her face." Gu Changyuan looked at Feng Huaxian and said with a doting expression, "I know you don't like dealing with those men. Once Qing'er's appearance is restored, you won't have to face these stinky men every day."
Feng Huaxian's expression changed, and she gave an awkward smile. "You're really thoughtful. This medicine... must be very expensive, right?"
“My master knows alchemy. He made this medicine. It’s not expensive, but the ingredients are a bit scarce. He only had one herb left to save my junior brother. Otherwise, he could have removed the birthmark on your face.” Gu Changyuan said without any attempt to hide his true feelings.
Feng Huaxian's face showed a hint of joy. "I'm fine. With your medicine, Qing'er's appearance will be restored."
Gu Changyuan looked at Feng Huaxian and said sincerely, "Hua'er, don't worry, if there are still herbs next year, I will definitely have my master refine them again to restore your beauty."
Feng Huaxian smiled and nodded.
"Alright, I should go back now. Remember to send it to Qing'er." Gu Changyuan said as he stood up.
"Understood, I'll send it to her in a bit," Feng Huaxian said.
Gu Changyuan looked at Feng Huaxian with reluctance and said, "Hua'er, I don't know when I will be able to come back to see you after I leave this time, so I must ask you how you feel."
Feng Huaxian smiled at Gu Changyuan and said, "I know what you want to say, and I've always been clear about your feelings for me. I'm willing to wait for you."
Upon hearing Feng Huaxian's words, Gu Changyuan excitedly grabbed her hand. "That's wonderful, Hua'er! I knew you wouldn't refuse me! Don't worry, I'll definitely come down the mountain to give you an answer within a year at the latest. I won't keep you waiting any longer!"
Feng Huaxian raised an eyebrow, having already gleaned something from Gu Changyuan's words, and nodded without changing her expression, "Alright, I'll wait for you!"
Gu Changyuan nodded with a smile, and was about to leave when Feng Huaxian hurriedly called out to him, "Changyuan, wait!"
Gu Changyuan stopped and looked at Feng Huaxian with a puzzled expression. "You didn't tell Hua Gu when you came. You should let her know when you go back, otherwise she might get angry."
Gu Changyuan's expression changed, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "No way! You don't know Hua Gu's temperament. Once Hua Gu finds out I'm not poor, she'll definitely blow up every last penny I have!"
As he spoke, Gu Changyuan pointed to the cup of tea on the table and said, "She might demand a thousand gold coins from me if I drink this cup of tea. I won't give her the chance to stay and rob me! I'd better slip away before she notices!"
Feng Huaxian covered her face and smiled, watching Gu Changyuan leave in a hurry.
However, just after Gu Changyuan left, Feng Huaxian narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes as she stared at the medicine bottle in her hand with a smirk on her lips.
"With such a miraculous medicine, and living on Thousand Absolute Mountain, it seems you are the Bai Clan Ancient Clan that my Demon Clan has been searching for for so long!"
—Qing'er's room
Qing'er sat curled up, hugging her legs, her eyes vacant and lifeless, seemingly looking at nothing.
