Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, Baili Huangyi was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter, cupped his hands to Gu Liyan and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such a person in this Thousand Absolute Town. I was blind to your greatness just now, please forgive me."
Gu Liyan glanced at Xue'er, then turned to look at Baili Huangyi and said with a faint smile, "As long as you, Prince Yan, don't mind that I am also someone who dares not show my true colors, that's fine."
When Baili Huangyi saw Gu Liyan glancing at Xue'er intentionally or unintentionally, he immediately understood his meaning and then smiled and said, "Since you have spoken, I will naturally not mind."
Gu Liyan simply smiled, not wanting to get to know this Prince Yan, after all, the rules of Qianjue Mountain still applied.
Seeing that Gu Liyan ignored him, Baili Huangyi stopped talking.
Upon seeing this, Hua Gu hurriedly stood up and stepped forward, speaking ingratiatingly, "If anyone is blind to the great man, it is you, little sister! The presence of the Prince of Yan truly brings honor to my humble abode!"
Hua Gu smiled and called out to the second floor, "Ping'er, quickly tidy up the rooms upstairs so that Prince Yan can stay in the elegant residence on the second floor!"
(Qingya Residence is next to Qing'er's room, and now it is next to Xue'er's room.)
As soon as Hua Gu finished speaking, Ping'er walked out of the second-floor guest room, glanced at the Prince of Yan indifferently, and showed no emotion.
Turning his gaze to Gu Liyan on the stands, he lazily asked, "The Prince of Yan resides in Qingya Residence. I wonder where this young master should stay?"
Hearing Ping'er's voice, Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback. He turned around and looked up. Her innocent and lovely appearance made him feel inexplicably familiar.
He thought to himself: This girl isn't the one who often appears in my mind, but why... does she also seem so familiar to me?
Hua Gu smiled awkwardly, "The rooms upstairs are all full, so why don't we let this young master stay here..."
"Stay in my room!" Xue'er, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
Seeing Gu Liyan's surprised look, Xue'er smiled and said, "Let me personally entertain this young master today!"
Everyone stared at Xue'er in astonishment. Gu Liyan looked at Xue'er in confusion, "Miss Xue'er, you and I..."
"What? Young master, won't you do me the honor?" Xue'er interrupted Gu Liyan with a smile.
"Huh? I..."
Before Gu Liyan could finish speaking, Xue'er leaned forward and softly asked, "Don't you want to know who I am, Xiao Li?"
Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Xue'er to know his name. She must recognize him!
Seeing Xue'er's smiling eyes, Gu Liyan thought for a moment and nodded, "In that case, please lead the way, Miss Xue'er!"
"Young master, please come upstairs!" Xue'er smiled sweetly and led the way.
Gu Liyan thought that she was just a woman and wouldn't do anything to him. Besides, she knew him. It would be best if he could get some of his memories from before he lost his memory from her.
Without further hesitation, Gu Liyan followed.
Seeing Gu Liyan and Xue'er enter the room, Ping'er secretly smiled, but when she turned her head, she saw that Hua Gu's face was gloomy. She knew something was wrong and hurriedly ran into the room to tidy up Qingya Pavilion.
The crowd downstairs erupted in excitement when they saw Gu Liyan actually enter Xue'er's room.
"What does Miss Xue'er mean by this? Didn't you say you only sell your art and not your body? Why did you bring her into the room?"
"Are you just playing us for saying all that?"
"That's right! Even if we're not qualified to see Miss Xue'er's face, surely the Prince of Yan is? What makes that kid so special?"
The crowd was indignant, glancing at the Prince of Yan intentionally or unintentionally. Hearing their words, Baili Huangyi also frowned: Yes, he is the Prince of Yan, a supreme ruler, yet he is not even as good as an unknown nobody?
Baili Huangyi subconsciously clenched his fists tightly.
However, thinking about how Gu Liyan had just killed the assassin with a cup, the anger in his heart gradually dissipated. After all, strength is the only true measure of success.
Baili Huangyi took a deep breath, turned around and forced a smile at Hua Gu, saying, "Boss lady, I've booked all the other rooms on the second floor. You can clear them out now."
Hua Gu dared not disobey his orders, and smiled awkwardly, "Yes, yes, yes."
Xue'er led Gu Liyan into the room and quickly closed the door. Before Gu Liyan could even ask anything, Xue'er ran to the window and closed it tightly, as if afraid that their conversation would be overheard by others.
Gu Liyan awkwardly began, "Um... Miss Xue'er, for the sake of your innocence, I think it would be better if you didn't close the window..."
Xue'er smiled slightly at Gu Liyan, "My innocence doesn't matter, I'm just afraid you'll run away!"
"Run away?" Gu Liyan was both amused and exasperated. "Does Miss Xue'er think she can eat people?"
Xue'er approached Gu Liyan, her eyebrows arched as if she were smiling. "I wouldn't eat people, but I'm really scared, really scared that you'll leave again."
"Again?" Gu Liyan looked at Xue'er and said seriously, "Miss Xue'er, please tell me the truth, have we known each other for a long time?"
“It’s been a year…” Xue’er didn’t directly answer Gu Liyan’s question, but instead continued, “I’ve been in this brothel for a year now. I dare not go home, nor do I dare show my true face, for fear that the first and second madams will find out that I’m here…”
Gu Liyan looked at Xue'er without interrupting him.
"Do you know why I did this?" Xue'er's eyes reddened slightly as she looked at Gu Liyan with deep affection. "It's all to wait for news of your safety!"
Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback and was about to ask a question when Xue'er raised her hand to cover his mouth and scolded, "Let me finish!"
Gu Liyan was too scared to speak after being scolded by her, and blinked at her.
