"What a narrow road for enemies!" Just as he walked to the door of Yipin Pavilion, a carriage came over. Who else could it be but Guan Yunbai who got off the carriage?

"What a coincidence, we meet again. Thank you for your guidance today. It's better to meet by chance than to be invited. Why don't I treat you all and invite you three to a chat." Guan Yunbai was obviously in a good mood when he saw the three people.

"Who asked you to treat me (Okay)" Gu Yan rolled her eyes and was about to refuse, but Gu Can agreed without hesitation.

Guan Yunbai raised his eyebrows. This Gu Can is very different.

"I think Mr. Xiao doesn't mind." Gu Can turned and looked at Xiao Yuanjing.

"If Mr. Yunbai doesn't mind, I'd like to have a glass of wine as well." Xiao Yuanjing said with a smile.

"But he is the first disciple of Tianxuan Sect, the great hero Xiao Yuanjing." Guan Yunbai asked.

"It's down."

"I'd love to have you here. Please come in." Guan Yunbai invited them in.

Gu Yan pulled Gu Can's clothes. Gu Can patted her hand gently.

"Someone treated you to a meal, but you didn't eat a lot. That's not like you." Gu Can said in a low voice.

"He's treating us, and I'm afraid I'll get indigestion if I eat too much." Gu Yan curled her lips.

"Drunken chicken in lotus leaves, steamed sea bass, stuffed crab with wine, eight-treasure tofu, that's enough." Gu Yan was drooling at what Gu Can said.

"I know what to do." Gu Yan swallowed.

As the group entered Yipin Pavilion, they were immediately greeted by a servant with a smile. Guan Yunbai asked for a private room.

When ordering, Gu Yan was not polite at all. She ordered all the dishes she wanted and ordered three servings of each.

"What are you looking at? Don't worry, Master Yun Bai is here. Are you worried that you can't pay?" Gu Yan said to the waiter.

The waiter turned to look at Guan Yunbai in embarrassment.

"Just do as you say, young lady, and put it on my account." Guan Yunbai nodded with a smile.

"Eh."

"Eat one now and pack up the other two." Gu Yan instructed.

"Okay." The waiter responded and went down.

Gu Can looked out the window without saying anything, Xiao Yuanjing was not good at speaking, and Gu Yan didn't want to talk to Guan Yunbai. The atmosphere became silent for a while.

"I haven't asked for your names yet, young ladies." Guan Yunbai took the initiative to speak.

"I don't want to tell you." Gu Yan replied.

"It is true that I was inconsiderate today. What do you want me to do to forgive me?" Guan Yunbai was not angry.

"You are such a weird person. You should be asking for Xiaobao's forgiveness, so why are you chasing us?" Gu Yan simply couldn't understand.

"I sincerely apologize, Xiaobao has forgiven me." Guan Yunbai said.

"In that case, you don't need our forgiveness any more. We just met by chance. You and I are different. We can't understand each other. We don't get along. Why force it?"

When Guan Yunbai heard Gu Yan's question, he stood up and poured them tea.

"This young lady is right. Even though I am the Crown Prince's tutor, if I cannot truly understand the sufferings of the people, how can I teach a wise ruler who cares about the world?" Guan Yunbai looked at Gu Can.

"It is precisely because I am different from you that I want to make friends with you. You are a good mirror that can reflect my shortcomings. That's why I want the forgiveness of the two ladies and let me understand the lives of the people." Guan Yunbai was sincere and honest, and Gu Yan changed her mind about him.

"Do you really think so?" Gu Yan still didn't quite believe it.

"Of course, Yun Bai's family background is quite good. Although he has famous teachers, he is surrounded by people with ulterior motives and flattery. He often travels and finds it difficult to make friends. These two girls are clear-headed, kind and intelligent. They are exactly the famous teachers that Yun Bai can't find."

"If that's the case, you're not hopeless. If you really want to do something for the people, you must first take off your gorgeous clothes, put away your high-handed mentality, and integrate yourself with the people. Only then will you know what they need and how to truly do good for them." Gu Yan reminded.

"Thank you for your advice, young lady. Now, would you be willing to be my friend?" Guan Yunbai stood up and bowed to Gu Yan.

"You don't have to be like this. Okay, okay, my name is Gu Yan, and she is my sister Gu Can. You have a lot to learn." Seeing that the official Bai was so sincere, Gu Yan was not so angry anymore.

"Yes, Yunbai will definitely keep it in mind."

Gu Yan was no longer angry, and the two of them chatted back and forth. Soon the food came up, and it was Gu Can who ate the most. Well, I have to say, the chef's skills at Yipin Pavilion are really not exaggerated!

After having a good meal and a drink, Gu Can went downstairs and paid for two takeaway meals.

"What does Miss Gu mean?" Guan Yunbai asked.

"I'll let Mr. Yunbai spend money today. These are for my family. I came here today to thank Hero Xiao. I'm sorry to let Mr. Yunbai spend money again. I'll treat you two to tea another day." Gu Can said.

"Okay, the second lady's delicious tea is waiting over there." Guan Yunbai didn't say much.

"If you don't mind, you can take my carriage back with so many things." Guan Yunbai asked.

"Don't bother me, sir. We will just stay at Zuixianlou." Gu Can returned.

"What a coincidence? I also live in Zuixianlou." Xiao Yuanjing felt a little secretly happy.

"That's fate."

"I also live in Zuixianlou." Guan Yunbai said.

"This Zuixianlou is really a great place." Gu Can smiled.

Zuixianlou and Yipin Pavilion were only half a block apart, very close. When they returned to the inn, Gu Liang and Ji Xiaoju were already waiting for them in the lobby, holding a fat orange cat.

"Dad, Mom, let me tell you, Cancan was amazing today..." Gu Yan ran over quickly. Gu Can followed behind, smiling helplessly at Gu Liang and Ji Xiaoju.

Gu Yan vividly described what had happened before and introduced Xiao Yuanjing and Guan Yunbai to the two of them.

After greeting each other, they parted ways.

Silent night.

"Meow~!~!" A shrill cat cry disrupted the peace of Fencheng.

When Gu Can woke up, he heard a commotion outside. After washing up and changing his clothes, he walked out of the room and saw Gu Yan standing in front of a group of officials.

"What cat demon? I don't know what you are talking about. Our Xiaohua is very well-behaved and never runs around. Besides, it is so fat, how can it run?" Gu Yan said.

"The Monster Hunting Division is investigating a case. If you continue to obstruct us, don't blame me for being merciless!" The man in the lead had already drawn his sword.

"What are you making noise about?"

"I am Lin Chao from the Fencheng Monster Hunting Division. My humble opinion is to greet Master Young Master."

"No need to be so polite. What happened?" Guan Yunbai asked.

"Last night, ten people from the Li family in the east of the city were killed by having their hearts dug out. It was confirmed that it was done by a cat demon. We followed the cat demon's scent all the way here, but this girl kept trying to stop us." Lin Chao returned.

"It's impossible that Xiaohua slept with me last night. How could I not know whether it went out or not? It even eats hearts. Our Xiaohua is very picky. It hates offal the most." Gu Yan shouted.

"The cat's aura is pure, without any evil spirit. If it had eaten a human heart or killed someone last night, the Bu'a sword in my hand would have sounded the alarm long ago. Perhaps there is some misunderstanding." Xiao Yuanjing had also come out a long time ago and knew what had happened.

"Who is this?"

"He is Xiao Yuanjing, the disciple of Tianxuan Sect. Hero Xiao, you should believe what he says." Gu Yan said.

"But."

"Greetings, Lord Lin." Gu Can walked forward.

"Miss, there's no need to be so polite. What's the matter?" Lin Chao was not the unreasonable person. Since Gu Can was so polite, his attitude improved a lot.

"This is my cat. May I ask, sir, where are the bodies of the Li family members? How did you determine that it was the cat demon who did it? And how did you track it here? Could you tell me?"

"The bodies were sent to the Monster Hunting Bureau and the Coroner's Office. The traces left at the scene were indeed beyond human power. People nearby did hear the cat's cry, and there were also cat claw marks on the bodies. We found a tuft of cat hair at Li's house, and used the monster-hunting bell we asked for from the Tianxuan Sect to track it all the way." Lin Chao said.

"So that's how it is. Give me the little flower." Gu Can said to Gu Yan.

"Cancan."

"It's okay. I'll take Xiaohua to the Demon Hunting Division. The Li family was killed for no reason. The most urgent task now is to find the real murderer. Xiaohua is not the real murderer, and we should find out as soon as possible to avoid wasting time and letting the real murderer escape." Gu Can took Xiaohua from Gu Yan's hands.

"Then I'll go too." Gu Yan said.

"Then I'll go with you. This involves human lives, how can I stand idly by?" Guan Yunbai said.

"As disciples of the Tianxuan Sect, we are responsible for exorcising demons. Since this involves demons, I wonder if I can go and see those corpses." Xiao Yuanjing asked.

"Then I'd like to thank Hero Xiao first. Young Master, please." Lin Chao finally understood that both Hero Xiao and Young Master were doing this for the two girls, but there was nothing wrong with having someone help solve the case anyway.
