I am a winner with Chinese poetry

When Gu Tianchao heard these words, his eyes, which had been calm at first, suddenly widened to the point of popping out of their sockets. An expression of disbelief appeared on his face, as if he had just heard the most absurd words in the world.

He cursed inwardly, "How dare this villain! He's the eldest son of the Gu family, and his status is so noble. How could he have sunk to the point of telling stories for fun? This is simply murderous!"

Gu Tianchao's face was tense, like a piece of thousand-year-old ice. He responded coldly and expressionlessly, "I'm really sorry, it's been so long that I've completely forgotten many of the specific details!"

"That's all right. Just tell me what you know. I believe that as a child of destiny, your memory is definitely not worse than those old women who are over 70 years old and on their deathbed, right?"

Gu Zuoyou's lips curled up slightly, revealing a half-smile, completely ignoring the other party's refusal. He crossed his arms, his eyes revealing an undeniable dominance, as if he was determined to pry some useful information out of the other party at all costs.

At this moment, Gu Tianchao's complexion was extremely colorful, changing colors instantly like a chameleon. First, it turned bright red, then turned black as ink, and then turned pale as snow, repeating this several times.

After a long moment, he finally suppressed the anger and humiliation in his heart, secretly admonishing himself: "Be patient for a while, just think of it as sleeping on straw and tasting gall, enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens. Once I get out of here, I will definitely teach this ignorant guy a lesson, and then we will settle all the new and old grudges at once! For now, it's best to suffer as little as possible..."

After figuring this out, Gu Tianchao sighed helplessly, like a deflated ball. Immediately, he transformed into a voiceless broadcasting machine, recounting the contents of the autobiography he had read years ago. For a moment, the previously silent, eerie underground river suddenly became filled with a rare sense of excitement thanks to his words.

In this way, the two of them groped forward in the darkness, one step deep and one step shallow, and they didn't know how much time had passed. Suddenly, their eyes lit up and they found an extremely strange place in front of them.

Seeing this, Gu Tianchao heaved a long sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned. He could finally stop his endless chattering. However, at this moment, his voice was already hoarse and he could hardly utter a complete word.

Recalling the torturous experience he had just had, his hatred towards Gu Yunzhou grew even stronger. He almost wanted to rush forward and tear him into pieces to relieve his hatred.

The key reason why this place was considered so strange was the flow of the underground river. Before this, the underground river had only shown an ordinary appearance, with the water level declining and a large area of ​​the riverbed exposed.

However, what was incredibly strange was the presence of an immense, deep pool! How could this be possible? Regardless of the fact that this place was located in an underground river, the current in the area they had just passed was so minimal that even an adult would only find the water barely reaching their calves.

Yet, just upstream of this underground river, a deep, abundant pool of water appeared. Setting aside the question of whether this phenomenon violated the laws of physics, this place harbored a wondrous world of mysterious energy. Just one step forward and one could sense such a profound difference. This place was, in any case, truly extraordinary.

"Gu Tianchao, come here and take a look to see if this is the place!" Gu Yunzhou did not hesitate at all. He simply moved sideways to make way, exposing Gu Tianchao in front.

Gu Tianchao had no time to care about his anger at this moment. He hurriedly took a step forward and quickly arrived at the deep pool. Then, he slowly moved around the deep pool, observing it carefully for a long time with a sharp gaze.

Finally, he hesitated slightly and said, "In my opinion, this is definitely the place. However, the contents of that autobiography are quite a long time old, so it's inevitable that some changes have occurred in the meantime. The one mentioned in the book was originally just an ordinary pond!"

As he spoke, Gu Tianchao frowned slightly, a hint of uncertainty on his face. After all, time flies. Even if it was just a pool of water at first, it's very likely that it has evolved into the deep and secluded place it is in front of him after so many years of changes.

However, Gu Yunzhou, standing by, was not discouraged. He waved his hand and said generously, "No matter whether it is or not, we might as well give it a try. We've already arrived here, so no matter what the result is, we should tell them how to get out!" Gu Yunzhou was not discouraged. At worst, if it was not the answer, they could just keep looking.

"If we want to get out, we have to go into the water first. The mechanism is underwater!" Gu Tianchao pursed his lips, at least he revealed something real.

"Let's go, sooner rather than later! I don't want to stay in this damn place for even a minute longer!" Gu Yunzhou said as he stretched his limbs vigorously, as if to shake off all the fatigue and bad luck. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked firmly at the water, took a deep breath, and prepared to jump into the water.

At this moment, however, Gu Tianchao, who had remained silent until then, suddenly darkened. He frowned, as if undergoing a fierce inner struggle. After a long moment, he gritted his teeth and slowly spoke, "I was injured earlier, and now I have no spiritual energy to protect me. If I rashly enter the water, I'm afraid my life will be in danger... So, I hope you can help me underwater."

After saying this, Gu Tianchao's face flushed crimson, and he felt deeply embarrassed. After all, he had always been so proud and arrogant, so why would he need to ask for help from someone he considered an enemy? This was a profound humiliation for him, leaving him feeling extremely conflicted and irritated.

Hearing Gu Tianchao's request, Gu Yunzhou was stunned at first, then a playful smile appeared on his lips, and he deliberately said in a long voice: "Oh, I didn't expect that the eldest young master of the Gu family would have a day to ask for help! However, considering that you are still somewhat useful, I will reluctantly agree to it. But you have to listen to me carefully, I am only responsible for taking you there, don't count on me for other things. Also, you'd better be an obedient tool and don't think about doing any tricks or playing tricks, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
