Then he looked at Nie Hengzhou and said, "Are you used to eating something less spicy?"

Seeing that she finally saw him, Nie Hengzhou said happily, "Not bad."

Then he added apologetically, "These two junior brothers and sisters are the most noisy. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

"Well, actually, I also like to be lively, but I didn't have a good reputation in Donglin Country before."

Nie Hengzhou remembered that today he asked his servant to inquire about Gu Liyue.

The news brought back by the servants was: some good-for-nothing, some ugly, some relying on the title of the Third Prince's fiancée to act recklessly. None of the outside world's comments about her were good.

But every word Nie Hengzhou used to describe her did not fit her at all.

He recalled how the Gu family treated her at the engagement party last time. He could imagine how sad she must have been when she couldn't practice cultivation.

He knew very well how these noble families would treat someone who could not contribute to the family.

Gu Liyue didn't understand why Nie Hengzhou suddenly became depressed.

"Hengzhou, what's wrong?" Gu Liyue's clear voice seemed to break a spell, allowing Nie Hengzhou to get rid of his bad mood.

His icy face melted quickly like thin ice in the sun, and he smiled faintly, "I just remembered something."

Aunt Yu was watching from the side and felt that Mr. Nie seemed to have special feelings for the young lady!

Fu Qingyun bumped into You Tingchu who was teasing Xiaoxuan, and signaled him with her eyes to look at her senior brother.

You Tingchu took a look and happened to see the eldest brother smiling. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. Yes, the eldest brother was indeed smiling.

He thought he had seen it wrong. He had never seen the senior brother smile since he entered Qingxuan Academy. What happened tonight? Could it be that the senior brother's advancement had unlocked an expression he hadn't had before?

"Sixth Junior Sister, you saw it too, didn't you? Senior Brother is smiling!" He lowered his voice and asked, "Is it because he advanced?"

Fu Qingyun looked at him as if he were an idiot.

She had a strange thought in her mind: her senior brother couldn't be abducted so soon!

She walked over to Gu Liyue, trying to hold her hand, and said, "Liyue, let's go eat some food. Senior Brother bought it from the restaurant, and it tastes great."

Gu Liyue calmly avoided her hand and said, "Okay, it's almost done anyway."

After saying that, he walked straight to the table and sat down.

She still doesn't like people she's not familiar with touching her, but she doesn't mind chatting with them.

At this time, Xiaoxuan played with You Tingchu and Fu Qingyun for a while, but felt bored, so he stood alone on the tree and ignored them.

Several people sat down around the table. No one had much interest in the dishes, but they were still quite interested in the jar of wine.

In the end times, Gu Liyue also drank alcohol, but there was not much wine at that time. She only drank a sip or two to keep warm or to give herself courage.

She knew this body had never drunk alcohol before, and she had only had two sips. She didn't dare get drunk in front of these people.

Seeing You Tingchu and Fu Qingyun drinking one glass after another, it was obvious that they had a good alcohol tolerance. Nie Hengzhou only poured two glasses.

After finishing a jar of wine, the two drunk ones were not drunk, but Gu Liyue's face was flushed. She realized that she might be a little drunk, and she didn't dare to speak, worried that she would reveal everything as soon as she opened her mouth.

She didn't know what the people here thought of time travelers like her, so she didn't dare to take the risk.

Seeing that her face was flushed and she was silent, Nie Hengzhou stood up and said goodbye to his fellow junior brothers and sisters.

After Nie Hengzhou left, Gu Liyue still didn't dare to speak. Aunt Yu saw her sitting blankly in the yard and said to her, "Miss, go back to your room and sleep."

Gu Liyue came back to her senses and said, "Okay, I'll go to sleep first."

After she entered the room, she entered the space again, drank some spiritual spring water and came out, feeling much more awake.

She had originally planned to use the night to make pills, but since she was not in good condition and was worried about wasting spiritual herbs, she had no choice but to rest.

After thinking about locking the door, she entered the space again. She planned to stay in the space all night, sleep, and then make the elixir. She couldn't waste time.

The next day, Gu Liyue walked out of the room in high spirits.

Aunt Yu heard the door open and came with a tray, saying, "Miss, I made some porridge this morning. You can have some to warm your stomach."

Gu Liyue knew that Aunt Yu must have made the porridge because she saw that she drank alcohol last night, but she didn't know that she had actually spent three or four days in the space.

"Okay, Aunt Yu, you drink too." Gu Liyue took a sip. The porridge tasted like chicken soup, soft and melted in the mouth. "It's delicious."

Aunt Yu said, "I've drunk it. If you like it, drink more."

After drinking the porridge, the two of them packed up and went out. Before leaving, Aunt Yu checked the formation plate and added some spirit stones.

The two of them walked leisurely towards the teahouse.

As I walked, I heard people on the street talking about enrollment. I heard that a notice had been posted in the square and they had started accepting applications.

Gu Liyue told Aunt Yu that after going to the teahouse, they would go to the square to take a look, and Aunt Yu agreed.

When they arrived at the teahouse, they went up to the second floor and entered a private room. They saw Gu Zhen and the second and third elders of the Gu family were all there. It seemed that they were very anxious!

Gu Liyue nodded at them, then found a chair and sat down. She pulled Aunt Yu to sit down as well.

Seeing that she had no intention of speaking, Gu Zhen asked, "Liyue, you didn't even call out to your grandfather when you saw him?"

Gu Liyue heard his condescending tone and replied, "I'm no longer a member of the Gu family. Why call me grandfather? Has Patriarch Gu forgotten again?"

Gu Zhen originally wanted to use his authority as an elder to suppress her, but she didn't buy it and even used words to irritate him. However, when he thought about the purpose of today's meeting, he had to calm down his anger and soften his attitude: "Liyue, I heard that you can practice?"

The Second Elder asked with interest, "Did you cure the poison in your Dantian? How did you do it?"

Gu Liyue was grateful to the Second Elder for helping her diagnose the reason why she couldn't practice, so she looked at him and said, "Yes, it's solved."

The second elder still looked at him with a questioning look.

The Third Elder asked anxiously, "What kind of detoxification pill did you use?"

As soon as Gu Liyue saw him, she remembered the time when he laughed at her for having the strange fire but not being able to refine pills, and the look on his face when he saw her, as if he wanted to catch him and beat him up.

It was because he could refine pills but didn't have the strange fire, while his previous self couldn't refine pills but had the strange fire.

Gu Liyue said indifferently: "I don't know!"

She didn't know what they wanted to do, and since they didn't tell her directly, she had to sit there patiently.

Gu Zhen carefully observed her and realized that he couldn't tell her cultivation level. He knew she must be using a magic weapon to conceal her cultivation level. He had always known that if Gu Liyue could cultivate, she would most likely be a genius.

He felt a little regretful that he had abandoned Gu Liyue in order to protect Gu Yaoyao. Now, Gu Yaoyao's cultivation was...
