"But you can't really make me get engaged to the Gongsun family, can you?" Yan Xiyue pouted.
"What Aunt Momo means is that the engagement can be postponed or canceled!" Gu Tao said with a smile. "Am I right, Aunt Momo?"
“That’s right.” Lin Momo smiled and nodded, then said to Yan Xiyue and Meng Lingzhu, “When I came here just now, I found that many people in the crowd had caught the recent cold. We can take this opportunity to postpone the engagement.”
Yan Xiyue suddenly realized that her cold symptoms were getting worse and worse, and that this could be a reason to postpone the engagement.
Yan Xiyue's face lit up with joy, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Mo Mo, you're so smart!"
Lin Momo was also very happy to have come up with a solution to the problem.
Meanwhile, Gu Muqing was surrounded by people, who eagerly questioned her about Gu Liyan's whereabouts. Don't tell me they didn't know Gu Liyan's whereabouts; Gu Muqing herself didn't know either!
At times like this, she should just stay silent and see who can outlast whom!
"There's a rumor that Mo Li eloped with a woman, who is also his personal doctor. Is that true?"
"What private doctor? It's obvious he's being kept by Mo Li!"
"Haha, I guess Mo Li has been abandoned now, since he can't afford to support him anymore! Hahaha!"
Gu Muqing's face was gloomy. It was bad enough that they wronged Gu Liyan, but to frame him like this made her so angry that she almost hit them!
Just as she was about to unleash her fist, a surprised voice came from the crowd: "You all still care so much about Mo Li, it's making me a little jealous."
Everyone turned around in surprise and saw Mo Chen walking out of the crowd with a wine glass in his hand. Everyone quickly made way for him.
Mo Chen smiled as he approached Gu Muqing. "How about it? Your sworn brother probably doesn't dare to go out now, does he?"
Seeing Mo Chen, Gu Muqing angrily exclaimed, "Mo Chen, how dare you show your face in front of me!"
"Look at what you're saying, why wouldn't I dare to come out? I haven't deceived the public or defrauded insurance money," Mo Chen said with a smile.
"You know perfectly well that he's not that kind of person!" Gu Muqing was furious.
"Of course I know what kind of person he is. He can turn black into white and white into black! He can act life into death and death into life! If you ask me who understands him best, it is only me, Mo Chen!" Mo Chen said coldly.
The reporters hiding nearby all came out after hearing Mo Chen's words; the atmosphere here seemed to be filled with gossip...
Gu Muqing was dazzled by the flashes of the cameras around her, and for a moment she couldn't refute what Mo Chen said.
Just as she was about to back down, Gu Li, who had been watching the commotion from behind, finally couldn't help but stand up and say, "Don't use your own prejudices to judge others and say things that will cause misunderstandings."
Gu Li's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, carrying a mature and steady tone, as well as the authority of a superior.
All eyes turned to him. Gu Li had long silver hair and a wrinkle-free face, like an ageless immortal, exuding an indescribable ethereal aura. Beside Gu Li, Luo Zichen was similarly beautiful and otherworldly, like a fairy.
Meanwhile, Gu Cheng, standing behind them, respectfully poured water for Gu Li and Luo Zichen.
Mo Chen was slightly taken aback when he saw the two of them. They seemed very familiar, but he couldn't recall their names...
"Who are you?" Mo Chen frowned and couldn't help but ask.
“Heh, we are people without fate, but you are people with fate,” Gu Li said with a smile.
To a wise person, this statement has a deeper meaning.
Ignoring the astonished looks on everyone's faces, Gu Li picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then put it down with a look of disdain, saying, "People in this world are really strange. Why do they always like to drink this kind of sweet tea? Don't they know that the more bitter the tea, the more memorable it is?"
Luo Zichen smiled and said, "How many people these days can taste bitterness? They would rather choose to enjoy life than experience the full spectrum of human emotions."
"How pitiful! It seems they can't grasp the true meaning of life and death." Gu Li said earnestly, "Except for that young friend!"
Everyone was puzzled and curiously asked, "Sir, where do you come from? And who is this young friend you mentioned?"
Gu Li smiled and said, "If you want to know where it comes from, then ask where it originated. You can't say where it originated, and you can't say where it came from either!"
Gu Li was already ethereal and otherworldly, and the addition of the concept of "Tao" made everyone feel as if they had encountered a real immortal.
Master Gongsun Sheng believed in Buddhist principles and had great respect for people with an air of otherworldly wisdom. Upon hearing that a "celestial being" downstairs had described the "hundred flavors of life," he immediately rushed downstairs to come over.
As soon as he came out, everyone made way for him. Gongsun Sheng's hair was gray, but his face was not wrinkled much. This was largely due to his temperament and his understanding of Buddhist principles. The moment he saw Gu Li, he knew that this was the real master!
"Master, I am Gongsun Sheng, and I greet you with clasped hands." Gongsun Sheng respectfully bowed.
Gu Li raised an eyebrow upon seeing this person and said with some surprise, "I never thought there were people in this world with a half-life of destiny."
Gongsun Sheng, not understanding the meaning of the ancient calendar, asked in confusion, "What do you mean, senior?"
Gu Li smiled but said nothing. Gongsun Sheng immediately realized and said, "Someone, prepare a quiet room, along with some fine goods and tea. I want to have a detailed discussion with this master."
His subordinate immediately went to do so, and Gongsun Sheng invited, "Master, there are too many people here, which is not suitable for enlightenment. Please move to another place."
Gu Li smiled and nodded. "Then let's go."
Gu Cheng followed Gu Li away. Luo Zichen stood up with a smile and came to Mo Chen. She said with a smile, "As the saying goes, there are gods watching over you. Good deeds will be remembered by the gods, and bad deeds will also be remembered! Mo Chen, don't follow in their footsteps!"
