"Brother Wu, it's so late and you haven't slept yet. Are you thinking about something?" Gu Yunru walked forward in small steps and saw him putting a box on the table with a solemn expression. It was unknown what he was thinking about.

"What is this?" Gu Yunru frowned in confusion. Seeing that he seemed to want to say something but hesitated, she slowly sat aside and waited for him to speak.

"This is a letter I'm going to send to the Lord of Tao City. I don't know if this time I can go back the same way as before."

"In the past?" Gu Yunru looked at him with increasing confusion. Wu Liang changed the subject. Looking at Gu Yunru who came so late, he grabbed her hand and said, "You will always stay with me, right?" Gu Yunru felt numb all over as if she had been electrocuted. For a moment, she didn't know what to say in response to him. She just stayed there for about half a cup of tea before slowly retracting her hand.

"Brother Wu, I think you misunderstood. I just saw that you haven't rested yet so late. The old doctor has already drawn a route map to Taocheng. I heard that you have a good personal relationship with the old city lord, but the old city lord is not a member of the Zoroastrianism. Why is he willing to..."

Everyone knew clearly what kind of organization Zoroastrianism was. Of course, some of it was fabricated by the imperial court, which classified it as a cult. Gu Yunru understood when the conflict between these people started.

"He just has a good personal relationship with the old doctor, not with me. Besides, the members of Zoroastrianism are scattered, and I must unite them." Wu Liang seems to have a lot of ambitions, but it is all for Zoroastrianism.

"Then you should rest early. I'll leave first." Gu Yunru was going to say goodbye to him, but she couldn't bear to say it when she saw his look, because this matter might be more or less related to them. If she left without saying a word, it would definitely make Wu Liang suspicious.

"Yun Ru."

"Huh?" Gu Yunru was stunned for a moment, then stood up. Seeing the doubt in his eyes, Wu Liang stood up and said, "I made this myself. The shape may not be beautiful enough, but I think it suits your temperament."

It turned out that he was holding a hairpin made of peach wood, which was carved in a very fresh and beautiful style. Although it was not embellished with jewels and diamonds, it still showed its ingenuity. I didn't expect that Wu Liang was also a small carpenter.

"It's so beautiful! Is this for me?" Gu Yunru was moved at the first sight. She walked forward and weighed it in her hand. It weighed several ounces. If she tied up all her hair and pinned this unique hairpin, it would be just the right weight.

"Let me help you put it on." As he said that, he used his slender hands to pin the hairpin on her bun. Gu Yunru felt that the atmosphere was always a little weird. After a while, she saw him leaning down and wanting to kiss her lips. She was startled and turned around quickly, her heart pounding.

"Brother Wu, what are you doing? I think you have misunderstood. I will return the hairpin to you..." After saying that, she couldn't wait to take off the peach wood hairpin, threw it on the table, turned around and ran away. Only Wu Liang was left standing there, staring at her actions in a daze.

"Zan'er, Zhan'er, can you tell me Yunru's feelings?" Wu Liang talked to himself in the air, holding the peach wood hairpin, but some complicated emotions surged in his heart.

Gu Yunru ran back to the room, quickly closed the door, looked a little sad, and sighed softly.

"Why did you come back just now?" A magnetic, slightly hoarse voice sounded behind him. Rong Zhen was resting with his eyes closed. He heard the movement at the door and reacted quickly.

"I... I was wondering if we should follow him to Tao City, but your illness must be treated by the old doctor. Otherwise, there is really no way to cure the poison in your body."

Gu Yunru thought about it and although their purpose of joining the Zoroastrianism was just to use the old doctor's medical skills to cure Rong Zhen's poison, it was still a bit unfair to Wu Liang, but if a person does not take care of himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth, so this was also something he could not help.

"Yunru, I don't want to receive treatment anymore. How about we go back to Da Qi? The old doctor said that I still have three years to live. During these three years, we should be together all the time and never be apart." Rong Zhen's words made Gu Yunru's mood plummet. She hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his hand with a serious look.

"You can't think like that. I will never be separated from you at any time. Can't we face all the problems together?" Gu Yunru held his hand tightly.

The next morning, the team set out for Taocheng. Han Sushe, wearing a green cloth shirt and a melon-shaped hat, had lively features as he led the horse forward. Wu Liang was absent-minded the whole way, looking at Shu'er beside him and said, "I always feel that the relationship between them seems to be more than that between siblings."

"Of course, because they are not brother and sister at all."

Seeing that he was still kept in the dark, Shu'er couldn't help but smile jokingly, but these words were like a thunderclap, which made him stand there in a daze.

"What did you say? They are not siblings at all!" Wu Liang thought about how he gave her a peach wood hairpin carved by himself last night to show his love, but she refused it. This meant that she actually had someone else in her heart! "Of course."

Shu'er showed a hidden smile, which meant that everything was implied. In fact, a stranger could tell what kind of relationship they had.

They arrived at an inn and took a short rest. The atmosphere became strange. Gu Yunru called Wu Liang many times, but Wu Liang seemed to pretend not to hear her and ignored her.

"I'll go upstairs and rest for a while. Call me when you're on your way." Wu Liang said this to everyone. After saying this, he went upstairs without even taking his bag. Gu Yunru wanted to catch up with him with her bag, but she was unexpectedly one step late. She saw him directly close the door and refused her entry.

"Brother Wu, what's wrong with you? This bag contains your valuables, take it in."

Gu Yunru stubbornly knocked on the door, only to see Wu Liang suddenly open the door, which startled Gu Yunru. She shrank her neck back and pulled her lips awkwardly.

"Your bag." Gu Yunru handed the bag forward, and something fell from her hand. She looked down and found it was the bright peach wood hairpin. They both bent down to pick it up at the same time, and their hands touched each other.

"I'll give you this as a gift. You don't have to go to Taocheng anymore. I know you don't really want to join Zoroastrianism."

"Ah?" Gu Yunru subconsciously opened her lips, mistaking it for an auditory hallucination.
