In the square, Gu Liyan was tied to the center of the stands, his body covered in whip marks, his stunningly beautiful face deathly pale.
When people saw his handsome appearance again, they felt no goodwill towards him, only anger!
"Tell me, what poison did you give us? Where is the antidote!" a confident man in the audience shouted.
Gu Liyan slightly raised his head and glanced at the person, recognizing him as Da Huang, whom he had met when he first entered the royal city—a member of the Wang family! Gu Liyan chose to remain silent; he knew this was all a conspiracy by Wang Meng and Wang Qi—
Seeing that Gu Liyan remained silent, Huo Tong, who was standing to the side, took a whip and lashed Gu Liyan hard. "Speak! Where is the antidote!"
Gu Liyan groaned in pain, gritting her teeth and refusing to utter a word. Huo Tong became even angrier seeing Gu Liyan endure the pain, and increased the pressure on her hand.
Gu Liyan was in excruciating pain, cold sweat pouring down his face. Each lash of the whip left a bloody welt, and within moments, he was covered in blood again. Already suffering from severe blood loss, he nearly fainted on the spot.

"Stop!" Mo Han's voice echoed throughout the square.
Gu Liyan watched as Mo Han squeezed through the crowd and headed towards him, a look of joy spreading across his face.
Huo Tong had already lost his mind. What did it matter if Mo Han told him to stop? Only if Gu Liyan died would his body truly belong to him! Therefore, Gu Liyan must die today!
"Didn't you hear me tell you to stop?!" Mo Han's voice was like thunder as she rushed onto the stage and kicked Huo Tong to the ground.
Everyone was so frightened that they involuntarily took a step back.
Huo Tong fell to the ground, furious and trying to fight back, but Mo Han kicked him without hesitation, sending him crashing off the stage.
"Who do you think you are, daring to stand up there and question me!" Mo Han's eyes reddened as he watched from afar as everyone except himself tormented Gu Liyan, wishing he could tear Huo Tong to pieces!
Everyone looked at Mo Han in horror; Mo Han's reputation instilled fear in them.
Mo Han turned to look at Gu Liyan, who was covered in blood. Huo Tong was even more ruthless than when he had pretended to beat Gu Liyan before. You could vaguely see the horrifying sight of Gu Liyan's flesh turned inside out.
Mo Han looked at Gu Liyan with heartache and stepped forward to untie the ropes for him, when an inappropriate voice rang out, "Commander Mo, you're so biased towards your junior brother, are you perhaps colluding with him?"
