"So, you are Su Hu's daughter?" Li Jing looked Su Xian'er up and down, and asked with some surprise.
"Okay." Su Xian'er nodded without saying anything.
Bo Yikao smiled and looked at the group, saying, "Since this is a misunderstanding, let's shake hands and make peace."
Gu Liyan glared at him but didn't say anything, seemingly dissatisfied with his concealment of his identity.
Li Jing glanced at Gu Liyan and said, "Since the eldest young master pleads for leniency, let's let this matter rest. However, if this demon dares to harm the innocent, I won't be so polite!"
"No, he only acted to save me." Su Xian'er tried her best to defend Gu Liyan.
Seeing this, Gu Liyan couldn't help but smile secretly. He sat alone in the corner, glanced at everyone, and didn't say anything.
Bo Yikao quickly changed the subject and began talking to Li Jing, "I wonder what brings General Li to the Jizhou area this time? I wonder if I can be of any help?"
"Actually, the first reason for this trip is to broaden the horizons of my four newly arrived Mo family brothers, and the second is to personally pay a visit to the Marquis of Xibo," Li Jing said with a worried expression.
“Oh, I see. But I heard before that my father took several of his fierce generals out to search for a sage, and he hasn’t returned for a while,” Boyi Kao asked.
"Huh? Is that so? What are we going to do? My wife has been pregnant for three years and still hasn't given birth... This... Alas!"
Three years pregnant?
Gu Liyan's eyelids twitched, and Su Xian'er also stared at Li Jing with her mouth agape in surprise.
Bo Yikao frowned, not expecting the matter to be so serious. He turned to look at Gu Liyan and asked, "Brother Gu, could you please help me take a look?"
Gu Liyan was taken aback and said nothing. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and his Soul-Painting Eyes fell on Li Jing: his life energy, fortune energy, and destiny energy were all very strong, but his official energy was declining and weakening. He couldn't help but frown.
Bo Yikao noticed Gu Liyan's expression and asked anxiously, "Did you see something?"
Gu Liyan nodded. "There's no need to worry about this. I think General Li will have the answer once he gets home, but..."
Li Jing looked at Gu Liyan with a puzzled expression. "Speak freely."
"This boy will affect General Li's career and the overall situation of this dynasty's upheaval. He could bring about either prosperity or ruin. General Li will probably have to give him a good lesson in his skills," Gu Liyan said nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Li Jing questioned, "How is this possible? My child hasn't even been born yet, how could it be related to my career?"
"Hmph, if General Li doesn't believe me, he can go home and see for himself. Just don't be scared out of your wits!" Gu Liyan sneered.
"How dare you!" Li Jing slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly.
"Hey, General Li, don't be impulsive!" Bo Yikao pulled back the furious Li Jing, turned to look at the indifferent Gu Liyan and hurriedly said, "Brother Gu, you should tell General Li the truth."
Gu Liyan snorted coldly, "That's the truth. Why would I lie to you? If he doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
Bo Yikao said awkwardly, "Then you should watch your tone!"
"Hmph, a mere junior of the human race, do you expect me to use honorifics with him?" Gu Liyan curled his lips. If he weren't injured, he would have already utterly humiliated the five of them!
“This, this…” Boyi Kao was speechless for a moment.
Su Xian'er tugged at Gu Liyan's sleeve. "Gu Liyan, I think what you just said went a bit too far. General Li has already humbled himself to ask for your help. You shouldn't have been so rude to him."
Gu Liyan froze for a moment and frowned slightly. "You also think I treated him badly?"
“I think since General Li approves of you, you should respect him!” Su Xian’er said truthfully.
Gu Liyan pursed his lips, sighed, and said, "Alright, I didn't explain clearly. I just observed that his fortune is very strong, and good things will happen to him soon. However, this good fortune has also brought you bad luck, so fortune and misfortune are intertwined. This fortune is born as a misfortune! If the general doesn't believe me, you can set off back and see what your son looks like!"
Li Jing abruptly stood up. Without hesitation, he said, "Let's go! We'll rush back tonight! I want to see if you, you fox spirit, are right!"
Gu Liyan suddenly spoke up, "If the Third Young Master makes an irreparable mistake in the future, he can come here to find me."
Li Jing turned around and looked at Gu Liyan in surprise, "Third Young Master? My third son is a boy?"
Gu Liyan shrugged and said nothing.
"I'll go back and confirm it now. If you're right..." Li Jing said earnestly, "I'll come to thank you in person!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Gu Liyan opened his mouth, then smiled: This person is indeed frank.
After seeing Li Jing and the others off, Boyi Kao sighed, "You should never offend anyone in the court. If you anger the emperor, I'm afraid no one can save you."
Gu Liyan curled her lips. "What? Is your human race's leader that powerful?"
"That's not it, it's just that you'll be in a lot of trouble." Bo Yikao smiled wryly. This fox's nature was indeed not one to suffer losses. Getting Gu Liyan to bow down was truly a difficult task!
Fortunately...
Bo Yikao glanced at Su Xian'er, thinking that only she could change Gu Liyan's mind.
The next day, just as dawn broke, the wind and snow outside the window gradually stopped, and the number of guests at the inn increased considerably.
Gu Liyan sat in the corner watching Boyi Kao and Su Xian'er busy themselves. Sometimes he really didn't understand what these young masters and ladies were thinking. Experiencing life didn't have to be this fun!
Gu Liyan sighed, truly baffled.
Just as he was leisurely drinking and brooding, Su Xian'er came up to him:
"Hey! What are you still doing sitting here? Hurry up and boil some water!"
