The man was wearing a black mask inlaid with golden patterns. The mask covered his entire face and the part above his nose, revealing a pointed chin and a sexy thin mouth, as well as a pair of dark and deep eyes. He looked towards Gu Lingyue's feet with a shocked expression on his face.

Moreover, he spoke in a noticeably low voice, probably because he didn't want to disturb the people in the ancestral hall.

Gu Lingyue knew the visitor was no ordinary person, and she immediately became extremely alert. However, her expression remained unchanged, and she lowered her voice coldly, saying, "Your Excellency is not sleeping so late at night and actually comes to visit the roof of the ancient mansion. I am also a little curious about your intentions. I wonder if you can satisfy my curiosity?"

The masked man felt a little disappointed when he saw that Gu Lingyue didn't seem to recognize him.

However, when he heard her say this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a low laugh escaped from the depths of his throat, "What a clever girl."

Gu Lingyue raised her lips provocatively, "What a bold and reckless thief."

"Thief?" the black masked man asked with his lips curled.

"If he's not a thief, could he be a flower thief?"

As she spoke, Gu Lingyue looked at the man.

She could tell at a glance that although he tried his best to keep his posture upright, his body looked a little thin and weak.

Gu Lingyue sneered, "If you really want to pick flowers, then please change the place, preferably to a brothel. The girls there will definitely be happy to offer their souls to a shameless lunatic like you."

When the man heard this, a hint of pampering and helplessness flashed in his eyes, but it was too fast and Gu Lingyue didn't notice it.

He was afraid that Gu Lingyue would say something to anger him again, so he quickly said, "I heard that Miss Gu can detoxify, so I came here specifically to ask Miss Gu for a favor."

Hearing the man say this, Gu Lingyue looked at him with a curious expression.

The original owner had no medical skills at all, and she had just traveled through time and space, and only today when she saved Tang and Gu Chenrui did she reveal that she had medical skills.

But at that time, apart from Wenxiu, only Qiutong, Yunshu and Chen Da knew that she had medical skills. The housekeeper of Prince Jing's Mansion who was waiting outside probably also guessed that she had medical skills.

Wenxiu and Qiutong probably wouldn't tell anyone else about their medical skills without my consent. The only ones left were Yunshu, the housekeeper of Prince Jing's Mansion, and Chen Da.

Among these three people, she was more inclined to believe that Yun Shu and Wang An had told others about her medical skills.

Yun Shu and Wang An are both Prince Jing's men, so the person they told must be Prince Jing.

As if he had guessed what Gu Lingyue was thinking, the masked man said, "Many people know that the Third Young Master of the Gu Mansion was bitten by a snake in the academy. When he was at the clinic, the doctor said there was no hope, but the Third Young Master of the Gu Mansion is still fine. So I came here to see which expert cured the Third Young Master of the poison.

After seeing Miss Gu, I guessed that Miss Gu must be that master."

Although Gu Lingyue didn't believe what the masked man said, there was some truth in what he said, but it didn't rule out the possibility that he was from Prince Jing's Mansion.

"Ancestor, what did you say? Speak louder. I can't hear you."

Just when Gu Lingyue was about to say something, Liu in the ancestral hall suddenly asked.

When Gu Lingyue saw that Liu had regained her senses and heard her ask this question, she knew that what they said had alarmed Liu and the others. If they continued to pester here, they would sooner or later be discovered by Liu and her son.

Gu Lingyue looked at the masked man, glared at him, and signaled him to be quiet. Then she continued to pinch her throat, trying two things at once. While paying attention to the masked man's movements, she said to the inside: "Now, don't talk. I want to ask your son a question."

"Ancestor, if you ask, I will definitely not tell a lie." Gu Chenyun was afraid that he would be taken to the underworld by the ancestors of the Gu family, so he said anxiously.

"Hmph!" Gu Lingyue snorted coldly, "Why did you let someone catch a snake to bite Rui'er? He is a descendant of my Gu family."

When Gu Chenyun heard the ancestors of the Gu family say that Gu Chenrui was a descendant of the Gu family, he couldn't help but defend himself: "Gu Chenrui is not a descendant of the Gu family. My mother said that he is a bastard born from a man she stole from."

He spoke so quickly that Liu had no time to stop him.

"Do you want to come down and keep me company?" Gu Lingyue was very angry when she heard Gu Chenyun call Gu Chenrui a bastard, but he hadn't given her the answer she wanted yet, so she let him jump around for a while.

The masked man found Gu Lingyue's mischievous appearance a little funny. He didn't expect that she had such a cute side.

This made him hope that she would give him such a surprise again.

Gu Chenyun trembled with fear and said quickly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

"Why don't you speak quickly?" Gu Lingyue scolded him.

"It wasn't me. I didn't ask someone to catch the snake and bite him. It was Shen Junbo. The snake is his." Gu Chenyun said hurriedly.

"why?"

Gu Chenyun knew what the Gu family ancestor meant, and he said with a guilty conscience, "Shen Junbo said that Gu Lingyue wanted to marry his cousin, but his cousin looked down on her. She was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

But Gu Chenrui heard this, so he went to the teacher and said that Shen Junbo's casual discussion of the royal family's affairs was a disrespect to the royal family. As a result, Shen Junbo was punished by the teacher to copy books, and finally..."

The more Gu Chenyun spoke, the lower his voice became, and finally it was completely silent.

But Gu Lingyue knew that Gu Chenyun must have been involved as well, and he and Shen Junbo had always been in cahoots with each other.

What she didn't expect was that this incident was caused by herself.

Also, that little bastard Shen Junbo actually said that the original owner was a toad wanting to eat swan meat?

Oh! A swan? He doesn't deserve it! I will make sure he can't even become a duck.

Gu Lingyue firmly refused to admit that Shen Junbo was talking about her. After all, only the original owner, who was so stupid, could like that villain Long Jun.

The masked man also heard what Gu Chenyun said. His face darkened under the mask, and a chilling murderous aura emanated from his body.

It seems that she needs to move faster, otherwise, anyone can bully her.

Gu Lingyue also felt the hostility emanating from the masked man behind her. She turned her head to look at him, and the man immediately restrained his hostility and returned to his cold appearance.

But there was a flash of grievance in his eyes. Was I wrong?

Maybe she was seeing things, but now she realized that the mask on his face seemed to have been seen somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.

My current memory is somewhat confused with the original owner's memory. The original owner should have seen it, but she didn't remember it clearly, so I have a vague impression but can't remember it.

However, she was now certain that this person was not her enemy for the time being.

After figuring it out, Gu Lingyue thought of her own space.

Her space can only be upgraded by saving people and obtaining treasures, both of which are indispensable. This person seemed to say that he came to her knowing that she would be detoxified, which means that he or his people were poisoned and wanted her to be detoxified.

Although she didn't know whether this person was a good person or a bad person, she never cared about whether the person was good or bad when saving people, as long as they were someone she liked.

"You want me to detoxify you?" Gu Lingyue said in a low voice with certainty.

The masked man nodded.

Gu Lingyue bent down and turned off the projector. She no longer paid attention to the mother and son in the ancestral hall. Instead, she put the tiles back in their place, picked up her projector, and looked at the masked man with a roll of her eyes. "You can ask me to agree, but it depends on your sincerity."

As she spoke, she glanced at the soles of her feet.

The masked man understood immediately and said with a smile, "I'll let you know my sincerity."

After saying that, he turned and flew to another rooftop, disappearing into the night.

Gu Lingyue put the projector into the space, curled her lips, and walked back to her yard along the same path.
