Boom! Gu Yanfei could clearly hear the sound of his own heartbeat echoing in his ears.
Chu Yi looked at the girl who was only a foot away from him, staring at the slightly blush on her cheeks, and the candied fruit in his mouth tasted sweet.
So sweet.
He felt a sweet feeling in his heart, as if the softest part of his heart was gently touched by a feather.
Inside the elegant room, there was silence and the aroma was lingering in the air.
It was not until another loud burst of fireworks "crackled" in the sky that Gu Yanfei came back to his senses and the charming atmosphere around him dissipated.
Gu Yanfei lowered his eyes as if nothing had happened, holding the talisman between two fingers and muttering something, then he raised his hand and the talisman began to burn and floated on Chu Yi's left shoulder.
The ashes from the burning talisman turned into countless white light spots lingering on his shoulders.
Countless points of light condensed into a ball of light, flashed, and then disappeared.
There was a "wound" the size of a copper coin on his originally flawless left shoulder.
A layer of dark red scab formed on the surface of the "wound".
Chu Yi reached out and touched it. He could even feel the scab under his fingers. He smiled and said, "It's very lifelike."
"That's right!" Gu Yanfei proudly raised his chin and boasted, "This 'wound' can heal gradually."
"I guarantee no one will be able to tell. Isn't that amazing?!"
She smoothly pulled up the collar of his shirt for him, her fingertips inadvertently brushing against his collarbone, feeling the warmth and smoothness beneath her fingertips.
"Awesome." Chu Yi whispered, with a hint of smile brewing in his eyes.
A faint pink color slowly appeared on the earlobe, which was as white as snow, as if it had been dyed with rouge.
At this time, another brilliant firework bloomed in the night sky. The two people sitting on the railing looked in the direction of the sound, and both pairs of eyes were illuminated by the fireworks.
After that, the night sky became quiet and returned to its former tranquility. The night was peaceful and deep.
Gu Yanfei looked up at the night sky quietly, his smile calm and peaceful.
Compared to the two hundred years in the Yaoling Realm, her previous life was as short as this firework, but she did exist after all, and she must have left her own traces.
It’s great to be back here again!
The atmosphere in the private room is tranquil.
The streets below were bustling with noise. Many people still felt unsatisfied and stood there reminiscing and discussing the event. Some talked about the fireworks, some about the lion dance, and some about juggling shows.
"A hundred plays?!" Gu Yanfei's eyes lit up, and he pulled Chu Yi up from his chair and said excitedly, "Let's go watch a hundred plays!"
She pulled Chu Yi downstairs and rushed out of the restaurant.
After watching the acrobatics, he went to watch the lion dance and the dragon lantern show. When Gu Yanfei returned to the Marquis' Mansion, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
It was Chu Yi who sent her back personally.
They were riding in the same carriage they came in, except Anle was missing. Anle had returned to the palace with the emperor more than half an hour ago.
Gu Yanfei got off the carriage and entered the marquis' mansion from the east corner gate. He slowly passed through the outer ceremonial gate and the inner ceremonial gate and walked towards the inner courtyard. He yawned all the time as he walked.
The night is dark and cool as water.
"Gu Yanfei!"
"stop!"
A few steps away, a tall and thin figure suddenly jumped out from the shadows and blocked Gu Yanfei's way.
There was no one around, only the shadows of the trees swaying in the cold wind.
The moon is full and the stars are sparse tonight. The silver moonlight shines through the gaps in the leaves onto the visitor's face, forming a cold and mottled light and shadow, which makes the other person's face look hideous.
Gu Yanfei raised her eyebrows: "It's you."
She casually played with the cat mask in her hand and glanced at Fang Mingfeng who was wearing a blue gown in front of her.
Fang Mingfeng looked at Gu Yanfei, who had two fierce cold rays flashing from his eyes, and was filled with anger.
After the incident at the Yu family, he learned that his mother was still in the Yu family's house in the capital, so he immediately rushed over and wanted to take his mother away, but was stopped by the Jinyiwei.
Even though the Yu family was convicted later, my mother was still trapped in the house and couldn't get out.
He went to ask his father to plead with the emperor. Although the Yu family was guilty, Emperor Taizu had issued an order that married daughters should not be punished.
However, instead of agreeing, his father scolded him and locked him up for five whole days.
Fang Mingfeng managed to escape with great difficulty and climbed over the wall into Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
This was the first time he came to the Marquis' Mansion, not to find Mengmeng, but to find a woman whom he hated extremely.
Fang Mingfeng clenched his fists tightly at his sides, his expression as arrogant as ever, and said coldly: "Pretending!"
"A wild girl who appeared out of nowhere pretends to be a great master."
"Even the eldest prince was coaxed."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Fang Mingfeng's words, and the anger in his heart was rising steadily.
Even the biting cold wind on a winter night could not extinguish the anger in his heart.
Gu Yanfei yawned lazily again, untied the Black Flame Whip at his waist, held it in his hand and rolled it, and said lightly: "Fang Mingfeng, did you climb over the wall in the middle of the night just to tell me this?"
How shameless and unreasonable! Fang Mingfeng was so angry that he trembled all over.
After being furious, he calmed down and sneered, "The eldest prince probably doesn't know your past yet!"
"You have done all these things by playing tricks on me. To be frank, you just want to be the eldest prince's consort."
Fang Mingfeng's eyes were like knives, and he looked at her with such sharpness that it seemed as if he wanted to pierce through Gu Yanfei.
After all, Gu Yanfei was just blinded by greed and wanted to compete with Gu Yunmeng for favor.
Fang Mingfeng took a step closer to Gu Yanfei, smiled a little coldly, and said in a superior tone: "I sent someone to Huaibei, you don't know it yet?"
He was half a head taller than her, and the moonlight cast his shadow on her, creating an invisible pressure.
The silver moonlight spread all over the ground like frost. The surrounding courtyard was dead silent, with no sound except the sound of the wind.
"..." A rare look of surprise appeared on Gu Yanfei's face.
She only knew that Fang Mingfeng went to Danyang City to kill Gu Yunmeng for her.
But I didn’t know that he actually sent people to Huaibei!
Thinking of Huaibei, Gu Yanfei's pupils gradually became colder and deeper.
As cold as frost, and as deep as the base.
Huaibei is also where her inner demons lie.
After two lifetimes, the memory of Huaibei has become very distant and vague, just like a thorn stuck in the flesh that remains there. Even if the wound has scabbed over, the thorn is still there.
Gu Yanfei pulled the corner of his mouth in self-mockery and sighed in his heart: She has so many inner demons, no wonder she hasn't reached the Nascent Soul stage after two hundred years of cultivation.
Fang Mingfeng had been staring at Gu Yanfei's face. When he saw her expression change slightly, he thought he had found her weakness and smiled solemnly: "Does the eldest prince know that you were a beggar in Huaibei?"
"Does he know that you once rolled around in the mud and fought with others for food?"
"Does he know that when you were in Huaibei, your adoptive father almost sold you to an old man as a second wife?"
As Fang Mingfeng spoke every word and sentence, Gu Yanfei's eyes became deeper and colder, with a faint blood color.
Fang Mingfeng curled his lips and smiled, with an expression of pride and confidence.
Everyone would want to bury these unbearable past events forever and not let anyone know.
"How about it? Do you want to discuss a deal?" Fang Mingfeng raised his chin slightly, put his hands behind his back, stood sideways, stood straight, with a superior attitude.
For Fang Mingfeng, if he had not been forced to do so, he would never come here to find Gu Yanfei. For him, this was already a servitude and a kneeling.
but……
He understood that finding Gu Yanfei was the most effective and direct way.
The affairs of the Yu family not only affected the Yu family, but also Shangqing, and it made Gu Yanfei famous.
Now everyone outside thinks that Gu Yanfei is a living god with supernatural powers to change weather and the clouds. Only if she comes forward to clear the name of the Yu family can she turn the tide and suppress the public anger.
Otherwise, the Yu family’s stigma cannot be cleared and the matter cannot be resolved.
Fang Mingfeng took another step closer to Gu Yanfei and said in a tone of confidence: "I can keep secret the scandals you committed in Huaibei for you."
"In exchange, you must come forward and admit that what you said the other day about borrowing the luck formation was a 'misunderstanding'."
Fang Mingfeng spoke each word powerfully and looked at Gu Yanfei with imposing manner.
"Are you done?" Gu Yanfei smiled gently.
The whole person has withdrawn from the intense emotion just now, and his emotions have returned to calm.
"You were stabbed so hard that your brain became stupid?" Gu Yanfei's eyebrows curved, like a mockery, but also like a smile, and he said "tsk", "No wonder Gu Yun'er looks down on you."
Gu Yunyan is the eternal pain in Fang Mingfeng's heart. After all, how can a relationship of more than ten years be easily abandoned in a few days? To him, Gu Yanfei's last words were like a murderous blow, as if a knife stabbed him in the most painful wound, reminding him of the knife he was stabbed by King Kang that day.
Seizing the moment when the other party was distracted, Gu Yanfei shook his wrist and swung the whip in his hand directly, making a cold sound of breaking through the air.
Fang Mingfeng's face changed, he was unable to dodge and instinctively blocked with his wrist.
“Bang!”
A whip hit his left arm hard.
The Black Flame Whip bestowed by Fengyang was specially made, and the hook at the end of the whip could be retracted and extended freely. This whip directly tore Fang Mingfeng's sleeve, leaving a glaring blood mark.
“Snap! Snap!”
Gu Yanfei was not polite at all. He shook his wrist several times and whipped Fang Mingfeng three times in a row.
Each of her whips hit Fang Mingfeng's target accurately, and each one left a bright red blood mark on his body.
"Ming Feng!"
Suddenly, a slender figure rushed out from the inner courtyard, shouting in horror: "Gu Yanfei, what are you doing!?"
Gu Yun'er was shocked and angry. She ran over quickly and stood in front of Fang Mingfeng.
Gu Yanfei smiled lightly and swung the whip again.
