After Gu Xizhou finished speaking, he looked at Pei Zhiyi and smiled, with a glint in his eyes. "So, benefactor, are you worried about me?"

"So what?"

Pei Zhiyi admitted it openly without hiding anything.

"I really like you, and I still like you a little bit now, otherwise I wouldn't have tried every possible means to save you from Pei Zhinian just now. But..." Pei Zhiyi took a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of Gu Xizhou's mouth. He wiped it clean and looked at this face more favorably.

"But that's all in the past. Since I've made it clear that there's no possibility between you and me, I won't keep pestering you. The only reason I still have some affection for you is entirely because of your pretty face."

As a human being, food, sex and nature are all part of his nature. Pei Zhiyi considers himself to be a very superficial person.

"Just that?"

"of course."

Pei Zhiyi felt that Gu Xizhou seemed a little disappointed, but how could he be disappointed? Wasn't he the one who couldn't give a definite answer in the first place?

"Thank you very much for telling me what I needed to know."

Pei Zhiyi touched the shackles on Gu Xizhou, and was bounced back by a very weak force the next second.

"My guess was right. I was wondering why they would let you two stay at this altar with only two dragons guarding it? It turns out they were certain you wouldn't be able to break free from these shackles."

"So how are you going to keep your promise?"

"Of course I have my own way. Why are you so anxious, Master Imperial Master?"

Pei Zhiyi still prefers to call him the National Master. After all, the title of God is too cheap.

"I'm not in a hurry, I'm just thinking that if you delay for a minute, the possibility of you becoming my companion will increase."

By then, all the other people will be tied up here.

"Don't worry about that. I don't have the time to stay here with you."

Pei Zhiyi began to circulate the power of faith in his body. The power of faith came out from his dantian, gathered in his hands, and condensed at his fingertips.

With a light touch of spiritual power on his fingertips, the shackles on Gu Xizhou melted instantly, like a pool of water, and finally disappeared.

"This is?"

Pei Zhiyi subconsciously withdrew his hand. "It's just some unique spiritual arts. Is the Imperial Master interested?"

"I'm not interested in things that don't belong to me."

The shackles disappeared, and Gu Xizhou's body felt a little weak. If he hadn't held onto the pillar beside him in time, he would have fallen down.

"You saved me again, thank you."

"Although we have different views, we are friends after all, so I will not stand by and watch you die. However, this should be the last time I save you."

Pei Zhiyi had a strong intuition that once he left here, those plain surfaces would soon be torn apart, and many of the decencies maintained on the surface would disappear.

"Then him"

Gu Xizhou glanced at Jiang Wuyang who was still unconscious next to him, touched his nose, and said a little embarrassedly, "He does have a lot of hostility towards you, but he has no choice, and he has been my partner for many years. If possible, I hope you can save him to the end."

Gu Xizhou knew that his words were somewhat shameless, but he really didn't have the energy to help him now.

"This is natural."

Pei Zhiyi used the same method to remove the shackles from Jiang Wuyang.

"The reason I saved him is not because he is your friend, nor because he is the dean of my Human Academy." Pei Zhiyi thought of Ye Ruoxi, the silly girl who kept saying that she wanted to cut off their relationship, but was still worried about him in her heart.

"From now on, whether you can walk out of here alive depends entirely on your own fate."

Pei Zhiyi disappeared on the spot. She still had very important things to do.

Gu Xizhou watched Pei Zhiyi disappear, and the next second, he stood up straight, no longer showing the weakness and bad expression he had just had.

Including, Jiang Wuyang also woke up.

"you lose."

Although Jiang Wuyang looked a little ugly, after all, he never thought he would lose, but now he has indeed lost.

"This time, I accept defeat wholeheartedly."

Jiang Wuyang brushed off the dust on his robe and walked to Gu Xizhou's side. "But you lied to her again. If she knew that what we did just now was just a self-torture trick to test whether her heart has changed, how would you end it?"

"How do you know she doesn't know?"

"What do you mean?"

Gu Xizhou chuckled, "We can set up a trap, and she can also jump in knowing it's a trap, and then use our trap to take advantage of the situation. She's not as stupid as you think, and she sees many things more clearly than you do. The reason she's willing to cooperate with us is just to put on a show in front of Pei Zhinian."

"Besides, she had already obtained information that was very important to her, so her top priority now was to do this, which is why she left so happily."

"Ah!" Jiang Wuyang hadn't expected this at all. "So, according to you, she's a fox!" Jiang Wuyang cursed, "Damn it!" "Then why did you tell her such important information?"

"It's just an equal exchange."

Gu Xizhou glanced into the distance, "We really had no way to break free from that shackle just now, but she has this method to help us out of our current predicament. So I will naturally show my sincerity. But you don't have to rush. I only told her half. The other half depends on when she can figure it out. But before that, we must complete this move first."

Jiang Wuyang: "..."

Two old foxes, each more cunning than the other.

However, Jiang Wuyang wanted to see a good show, "If she is really one step faster than you, then what you are saying now will be a slap in the face, right?"

"If she really has such insight, then I think she will have to take some paths."

Gu Xizhou thought that he didn't want their ending to end in a bad way, but as the chess player, he also had his ambitions and desires.

"Gu Xizhou, Gu Xizhou, even though I've been your partner for so many years, I still can't see through you. You were clearly melancholy a while ago, lamenting the love-hate relationship between you and Pei Zhiyi, and you were completely depressed. But now that you're here, you're plotting to lure her into the game. Every move is a calculation. When did you become so fickle?"

"Shouldn't you be happy about this change in me?"

Jiang Wuyang hesitated to speak. He was happy, but he felt something was wrong. He felt that Gu Xizhou was a little crazy.

So, could it be that he was really driven crazy by this relationship that ended in vain?
