Because suddenly many water snakes appeared in the river, swimming quickly toward them.

Or to be more precise, it swam towards Fang Qingrong on one side.

Recalling the strange fragrance she smelled on Fang Qingrong earlier that day, Fang Qingyou realized that it was a mixture of snake-attracting powder and cosmetic scent.

These water snakes must have come from the vermilion box that Miss Zhang threw into the river. These water snakes are part of a conspiracy, which is why Miss Zhang was so afraid.

Fang Qingrong, on the other hand, probably never imagined that she was not only a pawn, but also a huge lure.

Qin Nihong, Fang Qingman, and the others used Fang Qingrong to lure these water snakes in in order to scare Fang Qingyou.

But will Fang Qingyou be afraid?

the answer is negative.

If Fang Qingyou were frightened by these water snakes, wouldn't that be letting down her grandfather's years of careful cultivation and Xiaoyaozi's earnest expectations?

Fang Qingyou wasn't afraid, but Fang Qingyun was terrified.

Realizing that the creatures swimming towards them were a group of water snakes, Fang Qingyun's face turned deathly pale, and she almost cried out in alarm.

At that moment, Fang Qingyou quickly covered Fang Qingyun's mouth and shook her head at her.

Firstly, because one cannot speak underwater, and secondly, Fang Qingyou did not want too many people to know about the water snake.

Fang Qingyun was relatively calm. Although her body was still trembling uncontrollably, she was no longer so panicked.

Or rather, she was trying to suppress her panic.

Fang Qingrong kept swimming and swimming, wondering what something was swimming towards her. When she realized it was a group of water snakes, she was terrified.

"Ah!" Fang Qingrong exclaimed in surprise, swallowing several mouthfuls of river water before quickly closing her mouth again.

Fang Qingrong struggled in terror, trying to get away from the water snakes, but her fear had made her lose her mind. She just swam around wildly, splashing water everywhere.

Seeing this, Fang Qingyou frowned. If things continued like this, Fang Qingrong would probably drown in no time.

So, Fang Qingyou swam towards Fang Qingrong, and Fang Qingyun, though frightened, followed her.

During the process, Fang Qingyou secretly crushed a pill and shoved the river water mixed with the pill toward Fang Qingrong. The water snakes that were originally heading toward her all avoided her.

At this moment, Fang Qingyou seized the opportunity to grab Fang Qingrong.

Fang Qingrong was still struggling wildly, her strength was extraordinary as if she had gone mad, and even Fang Qingyou and Fang Qingyun together had a hard time restraining her.

Therefore, Fang Qingyou did not hesitate to press Fang Qingrong's sleeping acupoint, and then together with Fang Qingyun, they brought her to the surface of the water after she calmed down.

As the three were about to leave the water, Fang Qingyou gave Fang Qingyun a look, handed Fang Qingrong over to her, and then dived back underwater.

Fang Qingyun didn't know what Fang Qingyou was going to do. She thought Fang Qingyou was drowning and wanted to save her, but she was still holding Fang Qingrong in her arms.

At this moment, she and Fang Qingrong had already swum to the surface.

Fang Qingyun gasped for breath, and before she could wipe the water off her face, Fang Qingman's feigned anxious voice rang in her ears: "Sixth Sister, how are you? Why did you and Third Sister come out? Where is Fifth Sister?"

Almost simultaneously, a gentle voice, tinged with worry, rang out: "Miss Fang, is Miss Fang still in the water?"

The sound made Fang Qingman, Fang Qingyun, and the others turn their heads, and then they saw a man in white standing on a grand but unadorned dark blue wooden boat.

Black within white, white within black, like a beautiful painting.

On the wooden boat on the blue waves, the man seemed to be surrounded by a warm light.

Like jade, like the sun, like a gentle breeze, like the bright moon.

Although the man was clearly from the mortal world, the guest had no trace of worldly dust on him, as if he were a celestial being descended from heaven.

Who else could this be but the famous young master Gu Jinyi?

For a moment, Fang Qingman, Fang Qingyun and the others were all lost in thought, unaware of how out of line they were being.

Fang Qingwei, in particular, felt as if her heart had stopped beating.

Normally, she could control her emotions, but whenever she met him, she was helpless against her own heart.

She had only seen him a handful of times, yet she had fallen deeply in love with him.

Looking at the expressions of the young ladies, Gu Jinyi still had a smile on his face, but he was very anxious inside.

He knew that Fang Qingyou had once nearly drowned, and even if she could swim, she was probably still very afraid of water.

She is dangerous!

Looking at the still water, An Fei's expression was equally anxious: "Young Master, let me go into the water to check on Miss Fang."

Gu Jinyi nodded slightly. Although An Fei was a man, Fang Qingyou's life was ultimately more important to him.

Just as An Fei was about to go into the water, he saw the surface of the water break open from below, and a slender figure emerged from it.

An Fei exclaimed excitedly, "Young Master, it's Miss Fang! Miss Fang is alright!"

Seeing that slender figure he had been longing for, Gu Jinyi's smile warmed up again, and his gentle eyes regained their bright luster.

At this moment, Gu Jinyi's boat had already reached Fang Qingyou's side.

Fang Qingyou had just swum out of the water when she heard someone say "Young Master," and her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be...

"Miss Fang." Fang Qingyou was thinking when she heard that gentle and refined voice.

Blinking, I saw Gu Jinyi, who looked like an immortal.

At that moment, Gu Jinyi leaned down and reached out his hand to her, his gentle smile warming the entire world.

"Young Master Gu." Fang Qingyou was momentarily dazzled by Gu Jinyi's warm smile and couldn't help but extend her hand to him.

Little did she know that the bright smile on her lips made his heart skip a beat.

At this moment, Gu Jinyi had already pulled Fang Qingyou onto the boat.

"Young Master Gu, what are you doing here?" Fang Qingyou asked in surprise. She had heard that Gu Jinyi never accepted invitations to banquets or events.

"I happened to be out on business today and was passing by when I heard you had fallen into the water, so I rushed over to check on you." As Gu Jinyi spoke, he calmly draped a piece of jade silk brocade over Fang Qingyou, ensuring that her disheveled state would not be seen by too many people.

He, however, dared not look her in the eye, for fear that his lie would be exposed.

Actually, he came to Yun Jinhe on purpose today. He hadn't seen Fang Qingyou for a long time, and he was very worried about her after hearing the recent rumors.

Even though he knew the truth about these things and knew that Fang Qingyou was alright, he still wanted to come and see her.

He had only intended to catch a glimpse of her from afar, but unexpectedly, she fell into the water, and he could no longer remain calm.
