When Song Yu'er saw Han Xuan, she cried heartbrokenly, grabbing his arm and constantly asking where he had been.
Gu Qianying watched from the side, frowning.
She knew Song Yu'er had fallen in love with "Li Feng."
But she hadn't expected Song Yu'er to be so deeply devoted to "Li Feng."
If her foolish god-sister knew that Li Feng was actually Han Xuan, she didn't know what she would do.
Thinking of this, Gu Qianying glanced at Han Xuan.
Han Xuan understood her meaning from Gu Qianying's gaze.
"Yu'er, your body cannot tolerate too much fatigue right now. Let's go back first. After a couple of days, once I've made the necessary arrangements, I will come to your home to propose."
"Really? Li Feng, you're really going to marry me?"
Hearing that Li Feng wanted to marry her, Song Yu'er was overjoyed.
She was a person who was "not entirely pure."
She had willingly been with Li Feng.
While with Li Feng, she had also prepared herself to be abandoned by "Li Feng."
She had fallen in love with Li Feng, but she herself was no longer pure.
If Li Feng eventually abandoned her, she wouldn't blame him; she would understand him.
But she never expected that Li Feng would actually want to marry her.
Her heart felt as sweet as if it had been filled with honey.
"Silly girl, of course, I will marry you. Not only will I marry you, but I also promise you that in this lifetime, you will be the only one for me."
As he said this, Li Feng glanced at Gu Qianying, who was standing behind Song Yu'er.
He had revealed his 'sincerity.'
He knew that Gu Qianying could see through him.
Upon hearing his words.
Gu Qianying's eyes narrowed slightly.
Lost in thought.
As Han Xuan led Song Yu'er away.
Gu Qianying glanced at Lu Zhu.
Lu Zhu understood and immediately called over two maids with decent martial arts skills, instructing them to follow Song Yu'er back.
The maid who had been by Song Yu'er's side earlier had quietly disappeared after Song Yu'er came to see Gu Qianying.
A moment later, when the room was empty, she knelt at Gu Qianying's feet.
She recounted everything that had happened at the Song family.
"Mm, I understand. You may go."
After the young maid left, Lu Zhu entered with pastries and tea.
She also closed the door behind her.
She poured Gu Qianying a cup of hot tea and thoughtfully pushed the pastries closer to Gu Qianying.
"Miss, the eldest young master of the Han family is too cunning. He cannot be trusted."
Lu Zhu had been following Gu Qianying for a long time and had also come from the Gu Manor.
When they were alone, Lu Zhu often referred to Gu Qianying as "Eldest Young Lady."
"Yu'er was poisoned too deeply. Even though the poison has been resolved now, her body is already..."
Before she could finish.
Lu Zhu immediately sprang into action.
"Miss, your subordinate understands."
"But you mentioned earlier that Madam Song might confine Song Pan Yang. Miss, should we send someone to rescue Madam Song?"
Gu Qianying picked up a pastry and put it in her mouth. "Madam Song is Song Pan Yang's mother. Song Pan Yang won't truly do anything to Madam Song. What we need to do now is head to Han Yu Manor to rescue Baili Jingxuan. You all prepare yourselves. Tonight, we depart."
After swallowing the pastry, Gu Qianying took a sip of the tea Lu Zhu offered.
"Also..."
Just then, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open by someone.
The person stumbled in and lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.
Lu Zhu, with her high alertness, drew her sword to investigate.
Gu Qianying remained in place.
When Lu Zhu used the hilt of her sword to nudge the person on the ground,
Her eyes widened in shock: "Miss, it's... it's Gao Tian Shou."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianying also walked over.
Lu Zhu sheathed her sword and immediately crouched down, intending to help Gao Tian Shou up, but she found that Gao Tian Shou had fainted.
Moreover, he was covered in wounds.
When Gu Qianying reached him.
Her expression turned grave: "Help him onto the bed."
Lu Zhu nodded and called out for help from outside: "Someone!"
Two young maids and Lu Zhu helped carry Gao Tian Shou to the bed.
Gu Qianying stood before him, raising her palm and channeling her demonic power to heal Gao Tian Shou's wounds.
Gao Tian Shou was covered in injuries, his robes stained with blood.
His face was very pale, and he was currently unconscious.
As time passed,
Gao Tian Shou's wounds gradually healed.
His complexion also improved significantly.
A moment later.
Gu Qianying withdrew her hand, and Gao Tian Shou slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was Gu Qianying's exceptionally beautiful face.
"Master..."
His voice was hoarse, as if he were swallowing shards of glass.
"What happened?"
"How did you get injured? Where are Baili Su and my son?"
Upon seeing Gao Tian Shou injured, Gu Qianying had a bad premonition.
Gao Tian Shou was the one guarding Baili Su and her son, protecting them.
Now that Gao Tian Shou had returned injured, it meant that her son and Baili Su must have encountered something.
While healing Gao Tian Shou, she had already instructed Lu Zhu to take people to the residence to check.
Everyone in the residence was dead, and the ground was covered in corpses.
However, Lu Zhu had not found Baili Su and her son.
"Replying to Master, the young heir is safe. Master need not worry. It's just... Young Master Baili, he..."
Gao Tian Shou got up from the bed and knelt at Gu Qianying's feet to report.
He recounted everything that had happened to Gu Qianying without omission.
Gu Qianying frowned and first instructed Lu Zhu to go to the place Gao Tian Shou mentioned and bring back little Yi Hao.
Following that, she thought of Baili Su.
Little Yi Hao was brought back by Lu Zhu, his eyes red as he hugged Gu Qianying's neck.
He recounted the scenes of murder he had witnessed.
He told Gu Qianying: "Mother, Uncle Baili has gone mad. He's so terrifying. He killed so many people."
Thinking of Baili Su's murderous rampage, little Yi Hao trembled with fear.
"Don't be afraid, Mother won't let you leave Mother's side again. Don't be afraid, Mother will protect you."
Gu Qianying hugged little Yi Hao, stroking his little head to comfort him.
Little Yi Hao, who had returned to Gu Qianying's side, finally felt at ease.
And under Gu Qianying's soothing, he gradually fell asleep.
Gu Qianying carried little Yi Hao to the bed and covered him with a blanket.
Then, she walked out of the inner chamber.
She asked Lu Zhu to find her a simple robe.
"Lu Zhu, send people to Han Yu Manor first to rescue Baili Jingxuan. I will go to the Ten Thousand Layered Hell to find the Dream Devourer."
This was Gu Qianying's decision at the moment.
Baili Su's whereabouts were unknown.
Only the Dream Devourer could find Baili Su.
Baili Jingxuan was being held by Han Chenglin, and they had to rescue him now.
However, she also had to act quickly regarding Baili Su.
From Gao Tian Shou's account, she learned that Baili Su's abnormal behavior was definitely due to being possessed by the Demon Lord Ghost Venerable again.
To make the Demon Lord Ghost Venerable disappear from Baili Su's body.
The Dream Devourer was what she needed to find now.
Gu Qianying, who remained calm in the face of adversity, knew how she should proceed.
"Yes, Miss. But Miss, Ten Thousand Layered Hell is very dangerous. If you go alone, your subordinate is very worried about you. Why don't you let your subordinate accompany you?"
Lu Zhu was worried about Gu Qianying going alone.
"No, the longer Baili Jingxuan stays in Han Chenglin's hands, the greater the danger. You must send people to rescue him first!"
"But, Master, you alone..."
Lu Zhu was still very concerned about Gu Qianying's safety.
"I will be fine. Xuan Ling Nü and Gao Ze, these two can accompany me."
Having been with Lu Zhu for so many years, Gu Qianying had long regarded Lu Zhu as her sister.
Her tone when speaking to her was naturally not as cold and harsh.
"Then... Miss... you must be careful."
Lu Zhu couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she followed Gu Qianying's wishes.
Just as Lu Zhu and Gu Qianying were about to part ways.
A male figure walked in from outside the door.
"I will go rescue him!"
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Gu Qianying's eyes widened in shock.
Lu Zhu beside her was also startled.
