The silk threads were tied to the limbs of the paper figurine, made of transparent material, light and tough, not easy to notice, if Ye Zi happened to be following Guang Xuzi right now, he would not have noticed it at all.

Ye Zi once heard that some craftsmen who have traveled far and wide have their own unique skills that will never be passed on to the outside world, and this Guang Xuzi should be the same.

Ye Zi thought for a while, without saying a word, just put away the silk paper figurine in silence, and followed in silence.

Later, Ye Zi invited Guang Xuzi to have dinner at the best restaurant in Chang'an City.

This Taoist priest didn't know how long he hadn't eaten a good meal, and his appetite was astonishingly large. After eating a large table of dishes for one person, it seemed that he was still not full.

With such a large amount of food, if you don't bluff and cheat, you probably won't be able to survive.Ye Zi looked at the old man who was feasting beside him with pity, and called the waiter in the shop to order some more food.

Knowing that this person has no real material, Ye Zi can finally follow him with confidence.

Thinking about it, since he dared to take over the job of Duke Hu, he must have already figured out how to deal with it. The only question now is what kind of plans Wen Yi and Wen Shuhou are still planning behind their backs.

Does Gu Yan know that the people from the Wen family are behind it?

Thinking of Gu Yan, Ye Zi's eyes dimmed.

He had been out for a whole day, and he didn't know if that person would be worried or anxious, and if he would send someone out to look for him.

As if noticing Ye Zi's depression, Guang Xuzi put down his chopsticks, and said with concern: "Master Ye, why are you frowning again?"

Ye Zi didn't answer.

Although Guang Xuzi is a charlatan, he has a kind face, and when he is not speaking, he has a bit of fairy air, which is not annoying, but like a kind and kind elder.

Guang Xuzi poured out a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it, and then said: "Young man, sometimes it will be counterproductive to keep things in your heart. You might as well try to say it, maybe it will be solved naturally."

Ye Zi shook his head: "It can't be solved."

Guang Xuzi asked: "Is it a matter of feelings?"

Ye Zi was startled, and raised his head: "How do you know?"

Guang Xuzi smiled and said: "For a rich and handsome young man like you, he doesn't worry about food, drink, and livelihood. Apart from love affairs, what else can make you cry so pitifully?"

Ye Zi looked away in embarrassment: "I didn't cry."

"Okay, I didn't cry, I was blinded by the sand." Guang Xuzi also poured a glass of wine into the wine glass in front of Ye Zi, and asked, "If you don't mention this, just tell me, am I right or wrong?"

Ye Zi was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

Guang Xuzi said: "What's the matter, the person you like doesn't like you?"

Ye Zi whispered, "He...should like it."

"Then why?" Guang Xuzi said, "Is it because the parents and elders don't want it? Or is it someone who took away love?"

Ye Zi shook his head: "Not at all."

Guang Xuzi took a sip of his wine and made a conclusion: "That means there is a misunderstanding between you."

Ye Zi's eyes moved slightly: "Misunderstanding?"

Guang Xuzi comforted: "Young master, if you invite Pindao to drink and eat, Pindao must return. Although Pindao is a Taoist, he also knows a little about love. You may as well tell me your troubles, and I will analyze them for you. Analysis, how?"

Ye Zi hesitated for a moment, and finally told Guang Xuzi about the matter.He concealed most of the information when he said it, so that Guang Xuzi did not notice his and Gu Yan's identities.

After hearing this, Guang Xuzi sighed, "There are so many idiots and resentment disturbed by love in the world, it's really pitiful..."

Ye Zi was silent and did not answer, Guang Xuzi said again: "Young master, I listen to you, the person you like should be sincere to you, if that is the case, why don't you ask him what he thinks?"

Ye Zi lowered her eyes: "I...I dare not."

"The so-called sorrow comes from love, and fear comes from love. If you can't get it, you want it, and if you get it, you're afraid of losing it. Like this, how can you not be disturbed by pain." Guang Xuzi shook his head and sighed, stroked his beard and said, " Young master, but Pindao thinks that instead of being so sad like you and forcing yourself to stay by that person's side, it's better to explain the matter clearly, maybe there will be a turnaround."

"Turn around?" Ye Zi was stunned, "You mean, I really misunderstood him?"

Guang Xuzi said: "Poverty Dao dare not jump to conclusions. But you also said that that person is considerate of you, and is even willing to do nothing for you. I think, if he really just treats you as another person, how can he do that?" to this extent?"

"...And, didn't you also say that during the ten years you were with him, you never saw anyone else beside him?"

Ye Zi was stunned and said, "The Taoist priest means..."

Guang Xuzi smiled and did not answer.

Ye Zi vaguely heard what he meant, and murmured, "How is it possible... this is totally unreasonable, this..."

"Common sense?" Guang Xuzi interrupted leisurely, "Young master, there are so many unreasonable things in this world, can you guarantee that you have never encountered anything that goes against common sense?"

Ye Zi was stunned.

How could he have never encountered something against common sense.It was the most unreasonable thing for him to come to this place from the present world, and then change from a human to a demon.

Wouldn't something unreasonable happen to Gu Yan?

When Gu Yan was ten years old, he was seriously ill. During his illness, he suddenly disappeared in the palace, and when he reappeared, he was holding the little grass in his hand.From then on, Gu Yan's temperament changed drastically, he put away all the brilliance of the past, and devoted himself to taking care of Ye Zi.And after Ye Zi took shape, he designed to keep Ye Zi in the palace, taking care of him in every possible way, until now.

In fact, Gu Yan's unreasonable things are even worse than Ye Zi's, but he always ignored them in the past.

Ye Zi's thoughts were confused, but Guang Xuzi didn't say much, and he asked the waiter in the shop to serve him some more pots of wine.When the wine was half drunk, Guang Xuzi's face was flushed from drinking, and his consciousness was confused.

Ye Zi had no choice but to help him back to the inn with half support and half support.

Ye Zi put Guang Xuzi back on the inn bed, the latter drank unconsciously, and refused to let Ye Zi leave, he reached out to search in his luggage.

Guang Xuzi took out a book from his bag and handed it to Ye Zi.

Ye Zi was puzzled: "What is this?"

Guang Xuzi grabbed Ye Zi, and gave him a mysterious smile drunkenly: "The magic weapon to make your love life unimpeded."

What he said was ambiguous, and Ye Zi's face turned red when he thought of something.

Ye Zi tried to refuse, but Guang Xuzi was drunk and unreasonable, insisting on stuffing the thing into his arms.Ye Zi had no choice but to take it.

Guang Xuzi fell back on the bed, still muttering to himself: "You helped me, and I will help you too. You take this thing back and have a good look at it. It will definitely make the person you love never leave you."

Ye Zi didn't want to stay with this old and unscrupulous fake Taoist anymore, so he hurried back to his room.

After returning to the bedroom, Ye Zi lowered his head to see the name of the book in his hand.

——"Monsters and Strange Collections"

Ye Zi: "..."

This old Taoist is lying again!

Ye Zi was too lazy to argue with the drunk, so he sat down and flipped through the collection of strange things in boredom.This book collected many folk tales and rumored types of fairy monsters. Ye Zi flipped through it casually, and suddenly, his eyes stopped on one of the pages.

After reading that page, he frowned slightly.

As the night darkened, the palace of Prince Rui was brightly lit.

"Have you found anyone yet?" Gu Yan's voice came out through the gauze curtain, dark and hoarse.

Si Wei knelt down in the middle of the room, silently bowing his head.

Gu Yan ordered: "Look again, he can't go far."

"Yes."

Gu Yan lay back on the bed and didn't say much, but Si Wei didn't leave.

"What else?"

Si Wei said: "The matter that the master sent his subordinates to investigate has already been found out. The subordinates have found a few people who spread evil rumors, and they have admitted that a mysterious person gave them money to spread the matter. "

Gu Yan responded, "I see."

Si Wei paused for a moment, and then said: "There is news from the residence of Duke Huguo that today the Wen family has hosted a master who knows how to catch monsters."

Gu Yan opened his eyes: "What are they going to do?"

"It is said that tomorrow, Duke Protector will recommend that expert to His Majesty, and let His Majesty issue an order to catch the raging monsters in Chang'an City." Si Wei said, "And..."

"And what?"

"...They said that the evil spirits are in Prince Rui's Mansion."

"Azi..." Gu Yan just wanted to sit up, but accidentally got hurt and coughed continuously.

Si Wei hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Master, this subordinate will definitely find the princess back. You have a fever, so don't get up."

"...Listen to me." Gu Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and he said hoarsely, "Send everyone out to find him, but don't let him come back. Take him away from here, the farther the better."

Si Wei said: "Yes, this subordinate will go now, but your medicine..."

"Let's put it down first."

When Si Wei went out, Gu Yan seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and fell back on the bed slumped, and there was no movement for a while.

After a while, a slender stem climbed up the window coffin.

Ye Zi silently pushed open the window, and quietly climbed into the house.Gu Yan was lying in the gauze tent, motionless, and there was a bowl of steaming soup on the bedside, as if he hadn't moved.

Gu Yan didn't like to be approached by others, especially when he was ill.Except for Ye Zi, no one was left in the house in the past.

Ye Zi looked at the person on the bed through the gauze curtain, not daring to approach or make a sound.

He shouldn't have come back, but he was really worried, so he changed into his original form and wandered around Prince Rui's mansion, wanting to find out about the situation.But after this inquiry, I learned from the subordinates that Gu Yan had a high fever since the afternoon and was bedridden.

How could this person always make himself into such a mess?

Ye Zi squatted beside the bed and watched him quietly. The soup beside the bed gradually cooled down, but Gu Yan had no intention of waking up.Ye Zi hesitated for a while, a white light flashed across the room, and he transformed into a human form beside the bed.

Ye Zi held her breath and carefully observed Gu Yan's appearance.The latter was still lethargic and unresponsive.

Ye Zi quietly picked up a coat from the hanger at the side and put it on, picked up the soup by the bed, and lifted the gauze curtain.

Gu Yan's complexion was even uglier than when he left in the morning, his brows were tightly frowned, Ye Zi stretched out his hand to check, the latter's forehead was hot and scorching.

Ye Zi's heart ached, she knelt by the bed and called softly, "My lord... Zicheng, wake up quickly, drink the medicine first."

Gu Yan frowned and opened his eyes.

Gu Yan turned his head to look at him, with a somewhat dazed expression: "A Zi, are you back?"

Before Ye Zi could respond, Gu Yan chuckled and said softly in a hoarse voice, "I'm so burnt out that I saw you come back."

Ye Zi's eyes suddenly turned red.
