Chapter 231 That’s Wu Lie

Not to mention Xiang Ye, even Gu Qingquan was a little surprised when he heard Wu Lie's words.

She knew the duties of the Dark Guard Battalion. The Emperor's orders were to follow her secretly and protect her, but that did not include helping her win the dagger.

After a moment, Gu Qingquan understood and asked, "Do you also think that I shouldn't show up in public?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction on Qingjue's face.

Wu Lie's face under the mask was silent for a while, and he only said, "A dagger is not worth the girl's presence."

He can help her.

He wanted to help her.

Gu Qingquan still felt that he thought he shouldn't show up in public, and a sense of resentment arose in his heart. He glanced at the half mask on his face and his clothes, and said,

"Your status as Lord Wu is something you shouldn't be seen in public. Please leave. If someone recognizes you, it might attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives."

After Gu Qingquan finished speaking, he turned around and ignored Wu Lie.

He didn't know how long it was, until the breath behind him disappeared, and then Gu Qingquan realized that his words might have been too harsh.

Although the Dark Guard has a mission not to be exposed to the public, as long as they are human, how can they not yearn for the light?

What's more, when he said he would help her get the dagger, his tone was serious and he really meant it.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingquan couldn't help secretly regretting that he shouldn't have said that just now, and his thoughts about the dagger faded away.

Xiangye was about to persuade her to leave. After all, it was just a dagger. Even if it was rare, it might be found in the treasury of the imperial palace.

My girl and the emperor have been friends since childhood.

I was about to speak, but just as I said "girl", I heard another male voice behind me.

"Girl, you are polite. I will go to Lu Chengyuan."

When Gu Qingquan turned her head, she saw a man in a silver brocade robe smiling at her gently. If it weren't for the obvious bloody wound on his cheek, he could be called a gentleman.

However, when Gu Qingquan met this man's gaze, his expression turned cold.

Even though it was just a distant glance just now, the look this person gave her was too familiar, not to mention the fresh wound on his body.

Although the wound was small, it was not brave to show up with such a face.

Although Lu Chengyuan changed his clothes on purpose, he knew that he didn't look good. But it was rare to meet a woman who made him fall in love with her at first sight, so how could he let her go?

A wound on a woman's face is ugly, but a wound on a man's face is glorious.

Although he didn't know who had ambushed him in the restaurant just now, he didn't mind doing it if it could earn the beauty's "sympathy".

"I was really rude when we met in the wine shop just now. I didn't expect something unexpected to happen and I didn't have time to go downstairs to apologize to the girl."

As Lu Chengyuan spoke, he bowed politely to Gu Qingquan, and after making all the necessary gestures, he took the opportunity to speak.

"You seem to be interested in the prizes of this competition. As a token of my gratitude, I am willing to fetch this dagger for you."

Xiangye: ...

Why is this another person who wants to send a dagger to the Empress?

Gu Qingquan looked at Lu Chengyuan in front of him, but his expression remained unchanged, still showing a cold and distant look.

Faced with such a sincere farewell from a man, other women would probably try to be as tactful as possible even if they were unwilling to accept it. However, Gu Qingquan has never been a person who would be tactful, especially towards a man who obviously has ulterior motives.

"Where do you get the confidence to think you are qualified to work for me?"

Yes.

To do things.

In Gu Qingquan's eyes, the man in front of her was not even qualified to run errands for her, let alone get the dagger "for her".

If she didn't want to cause trouble, she could kick this person back to the end of the street from the middle of the street.

"Get out of my sight right now, or you'll get more than just a small cut today."

There was no trace of arrogance in her tone. Her cold voice seemed to be talking about a trivial matter, but it made Lu Chengyuan's heart skip a beat.

This development seems different from what you expected?

Gu Qingquan was too lazy to pay attention to this man. She had never been one of those weak women who would subconsciously rely on men when faced with problems. But today, she took the dagger herself!

He was about to step forward to attack, but just as he took a step forward, he saw a tall and sharp figure suddenly flying in from outside the arena.

The man was dressed in dark blue brocade clothes, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his feet made almost no sound when he landed on the stage. He had a pair of cold eyes with a sharp edge after being calmed down. He just stood quietly on the stage, but gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

When the man tilted his head slightly, his slightly sharp edges set off his cold and handsome face, and he stood silently in the direction of Gu Qingquan without any concealment.

Without saying a word, Gu Qingquan recognized the other person.

That's Wu Lie.
