The pungent smell of medicine filled the entire Gu family's old house. Gu Linlin covered her mouth and ran out of the room with a disgusted expression.
Finally, unable to hold back any longer, she asked, "Ugh... what's that smell? It's so awful! Where is it coming from?"
At this moment, Gu San Niang also came out following the scent. What's even more exaggerated is that she came out holding her breath, and couldn't help but gasp for air as she said, "My goodness! Where did this awful smell come from? I can hardly breathe!"
"This smell... it seems to be coming from Gu Yixian's room!" Gu Qingqing frowned and turned her gaze to Gu Yixian's house, looking at the black gas floating out of Gu Yixian's room as she spoke.
With a look of disgust, Gu San Niang couldn't help but say, "Why is it Gu Yixian again? Does she treat this house as her private alchemy furnace? It's truly incomprehensible!"
"We have to find a way to get rid of her!" Gu Qingqing said, frowning.
"Don't worry, don't worry, Master has already gone into the city to ask the immortals for help. Someone will be able to deal with that fox spirit soon. Once that fox spirit is gone, let's see how Gu Yixian will have the face to stay!" Gu Sanniang said with a wicked smile.
Just then, Gu Linlin, who had just been suffocated by the stench, came up behind the two of them and overheard Gu San Niang's words. Her expression immediately changed and she was terrified: "Father, why did he go to seek help from an immortal? What if the enlightened master who came hurts Gu Liyan and something bad happens to him? What will we do then!"
Gu Linlin looked anxiously at Gu Yixian and Gu Liyan's room. Ever since she schemed to frame Gu Liyan, she had developed new feelings for him...
Just as everyone was discussing, Gu Yixian walked out of the room with an impatient look on her face. Looking at the crowd gathered at her door, she couldn't help but say impatiently, "So that's why it's so noisy outside! It's you all! I think the sun rose in the west today. Why are you all coming here to pay your respects?"
The crowd immediately began to angrily criticize Gu Yixian's sharp and sarcastic attitude.
"Gu Yixian, is your nose not working properly? Use your nose to smell properly... cough cough! What is this smell?!" Gu Qingqing pointed at Gu Yixian's room and said angrily.
Gu Yixian rolled her eyes. "I, Gu Yixian, am naturally fond of the smell of medicine. I'm afraid only you mortals can't stand it! But looking at your ignorant appearance, it's no wonder you can't stand it. It's really your stupidity. If you know it smells bad, why do you still smell it? Do you all expect me to personally plug your noses?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed immediately, and they were so angry at Gu Yixian that they were speechless.
Seeing that no one spoke up to refute her, Gu Yixian couldn't help but laugh and said, "What? No excuses now? What an ignorant and foolish bunch of humans!"
"you……"
Gu Qingqing was about to explode in anger when she was stopped by Gu San Niang. Seeing Gu Yixian's smug expression, she whispered to Gu Qingqing, "Forget it, Qingqing, we can't beat her. She'll be in for a beating when Master comes back!"
Gu Qingqing looked at Gu San Niang with a puzzled expression. The latter nodded with a smile involuntarily. Gu Yixian, who had not heard the two of them talking, frowned slightly and ignored them. Instead, she went straight back to her room—there was still a medicinal meal for Gu Liyan simmering in the pot!
Upon seeing Gu Yixian return, Gu Liyan asked curiously, "What did they want with you?"
Gu Yixian wrinkled her nose. "What else could I be doing? Looking for trouble! It's not the first time!"
Seeing that Gu Yixian didn't seem very happy, Gu Liyan took her hand and said, "Yiyi, these past few days at the Gu family, I've felt that everyone seems to have malice towards you and me. I've thought about it, and for the sake of our child, I'm going to take you away and find a place where there are no arguments, no troubles, only you and me, to spend the rest of our lives together! Yiyi, are you willing to come with me?"
Looking at Gu Liyan's sincere gaze, Gu Yixian was genuinely moved for a moment!
Away from the conflicts of the Gu family, and living a carefree life with the one she loves, this is exactly what she wants to do most right now!
But……
For Gu Yixian, she still can't easily let go of the Gu family now; there are many things she can't bear to part with...
For example, the secret of that key...
My original plan was to use my pregnancy as an excuse to return safely to the Gu family and investigate the secret of the key...
Gu Liyan looked at Gu Yixian and saw that the joy in her eyes gradually turned into confusion, then into disappointment, and finally into despair.
Why?
Why is she confused?
Why the disappointment?
Why the despair?
It's just like it used to be...
"I'm sorry, Xiao Li, I can't go with you yet. I need to fulfill my master's and my mother's last wishes..."
Upon hearing Gu Yixian's words, Gu Liyan let out a long sigh.
Sure enough, she gave the same answer as before...
Gu Liyan pursed his lips and smiled slightly, looking at Gu Yixian with a doting expression, and said, "That's right, I was too hasty. Now that you are pregnant, it's not too late for the three of us to go together after you give birth!"
Gu Yixian smiled and nodded upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, as these were exactly what she wanted to explain to him.
Sure enough, Gu Liyan understands her best! He can even understand her feelings with just a glance.
Just now, Gu Yixian was worried about what to do if Gu Liyan disregarded her. Should she abandon her master's and mother's last wishes and follow Gu Liyan, or...?
