The girl's fair face was bathed in soft sunlight, and a gentle breeze stirred the stray hairs on her forehead.

Such a beauty made Gu Silang forget his questions.

If it weren't for the groans and screams of the people below that woke Gu Silang, he probably would have remained in a daze for even longer.

With his reason returning, Gu Silang asked, "Miss Wen, are you here to save face?"

It was indeed rude of Number 100 to say that Chu Yun wanted to teach him a lesson.

Gu Silang just couldn't understand how Chu Yun knew the exact location of room number one hundred.

Thinking this, I asked the question.

After hearing this, Chu Yun smiled gently, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. I know exactly what every person who comes up the mountain looks like and where they live."

“But with your strength, young lady, you don’t need to take these people seriously at all.” Gu Silang said, puzzled.

Chu Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and her tone was rather profound, "Those who think too highly of themselves will only fall from grace. I will not underestimate anyone, even if they are just an ordinary person, who may bring unexpected joy."

After listening, Gu Silang seemed to be deep in thought. Compared with Chu Yun, he did have many shortcomings, and his temperament alone still needed to be tempered.

"Besides, there are quite a few people who hide their strength and lie low, and isn't Young Master Gu one of them?" Chu Yun said with a smile.

One sentence left Gu Silang frozen in place, staring blankly, unable to utter a single word.

"And another thing, Young Master Gu, I don't care what Number One Hundred says about me. At least he said it to my face, so it's not like he's attacking me behind my back. But do you think those people who came down the mountain a couple of days ago because they were sick were sick? It was all because Number One Hundred was causing trouble behind my back, attacking me with dirty tricks. It's despicable! Today, I'm just giving him a taste of his own medicine, letting him experience the bitterness and frustration of having no one to talk to." Chu Yun leaned forward, startling Gu Silang so much that he lost control and fell backward onto the roof.

"I hate it when people scheme against me or deceive me. Anyone who tries to play tricks on me or stir up trouble will be exposed."

With her last words, Chu Yun stomped her feet and landed lightly on the ground like a fluttering butterfly. She left without looking back, her red dress swaying like a lotus in full bloom in summer, waving in ripples.

Gu Silang stared at Chu Yun's departing figure, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

He always felt that the woman in front of him was like a fog; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see her clearly or grasp her.

She knew far more than he imagined.

Gu Silang sat there on the roof until his calves went numb from being pressed down.

He withdrew his disappointed gaze, propped himself up to stand, looked down, and stood frozen in place.

"Brother!"

Gu Silang called out softly.

The man in blue standing outside the courtyard slightly lifted his eyelids, his eyes filled with indifference, and his words were equally chilling: "Get down!"

Gu Silang, like a cat seeing a tiger, immediately jumped down and hurriedly went to Gu Huaizhi's side, stammering, "Brother."

No one answered. Gu Silang watched helplessly as Gu Huaizhi turned and left, not even giving him a glance.

He dragged his numb and aching legs, following behind Gu Huaizhi.

*

As soon as Gu Huaizhi entered the courtyard, he exuded a chill, with the pitiful Gu Silang following behind him.

Not only was Xiao Lin taken aback, but Xiao Qi'an also paused in his movements.

"Huaizhi, what's wrong?" Xiao Qi'an asked.

Gu Huaizhi sat down next to Xiao Qi'an, snorted coldly upon hearing this, and looked at Gu Silang, "Then we'll have to ask him."

His voice was extremely cold, with an air of accusation, showing no respect whatsoever to Gu Silang.

Today, Xiao Qi'an, in order to welcome Gu Huaizhi, instructed that a banquet be held tonight. All the servants in the courtyard were busy with their tasks, which conveniently provided an opportunity for Gu Huaizhi to make trouble.

“Huaizhi, let’s talk this out. Silang is still young, there’s no need to be so harsh,” Xiao Qi’an advised.

Gu Huaizhi sneered, "He's not a child anymore! He's grown up and forgotten all the rules we taught him! Not only has he learned to climb people's rooftops, but he also has no sense of caution in front of outsiders."

The words of criticism were truly harsh to hear, and Gu Silang blushed, whispering in protest, "I didn't mean to."

"Fine! I'd like to hear what you have to say," Gu Huaizhi said angrily.

"I have never forgotten what my brother entrusted to me. What I said and did today was also to win over allies..." Gu Silang recounted everything that happened with Chu Yun.

Gu Huaizhi and Xiao Qi'an exchanged a glance, something flashing quickly in their eyes.

“Miss Wen is very smart and perceptive, and her martial arts are better than mine. I just want to get closer to her to prepare for the martial arts tournament.” Gu Silang subtly spoke well of Chu Yun. He knew his brother’s personality; after this incident, he wouldn’t give Chu Yun a good look. For some reason, Gu Silang didn’t want his brother to have any prejudice against Chu Yun.

"I don't think she's too smart, but you're too stupid! Her martial arts are better than yours, but the medicine I gave you was enough to suppress your internal energy without anyone noticing. But what about you? When you used your lightness skill in front of her, did you hide it even a little? I think you've been blinded by her beauty! You've lost all your vigilance!" Gu Huaizhi said coldly.

Gu Silang was taken aback.

He was indeed shocked by Chu Yun's actions at the time, and for a moment he forgot to be vigilant. After going up to the house, he was stunned by Chu Yun's words one after another. Even after he returned with Gu Huaizhi in a daze, he still couldn't figure out how Chu Yun knew that he was hiding his strength.

Now that Gu Huaizhi has said that, he finally understands.

"Go back and reflect on your actions. You can only come out again when you realize your mistake." Gu Huaizhi made the final decision. Gu Silang, having done something wrong, dared not argue and walked away with his head down.

Xiao Lin hurriedly caught up, then turned to Xiao Qi'an and Gu Huaizhi and said, "I'll go back with Si Lang. Brother, Brother Gu, you two take your time chatting."

Just kidding. His brother and Gu Huaizhi together are enough to drive a man crazy with their words, and they also value rules very much. With Gu Silang gone, he's the only one left to be exploited and suffer. He can't stand it, so naturally he'll have to find a way to escape.

Xiao Qi'an and Gu Huaizhi were both extremely shrewd and knew exactly what Xiao Lin was thinking, but they didn't expose him because they had more important things to discuss, and keeping Xiao Lin around would only cause trouble.

"Qi'an, what brings you here?" Gu Huaizhi was traveling and seeking medical treatment, and his location was not far from Xiaoyue City, otherwise he wouldn't have arrived so quickly.

He happened to see Gu Silang competing on the way, and he was getting very close to a strange woman, which delayed him, but he did not forget the purpose of his trip.

"Huaizhi, take a look at this." Xiao Qi'an handed the teacup beside him to Gu Huaizhi, which contained a little brown liquid.

Gu Huaizhi examined it carefully for a while, then gently sniffed it. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and suddenly looked up at Xiao Qi'an, exclaiming, "Where did you get this?"
