Chapter 72

So coming to persuade Mu Wanqing tonight, besides hoping Mu Wanqing would take fewer detours, was more about hoping someone could help her share some of the pressure.

Although Mu Wanqing was somewhat confused, she could hear that Zhong Ling was thinking for her, and while moved, she became even more curious.

The conversation between the two became increasingly deep.

At this moment, Gu Hanyuan didn't know what the two were talking about in Mu Wanqing's room.

Nor did he know about the pressure in Zhong Ling's heart.

He was sneaking through the silent night.

With his current cultivation realm and lightness skills, the small Prince Zhennan's Mansion was truly like entering an empty land.

Avoiding the patrolling guards all the way, he arrived at the backyard.

The backyard was full of maidservants who didn't know martial arts, and they didn't notice anything at all.

Because he had probed Duan Yu earlier, he easily found Dao Baifeng's room.

Although Dao Baifeng and Duan Zhengchun had lived apart for many years and later moved to Yuxu Temple, the mansion still kept Dao Baifeng's room, and it was right next to Duan Zhengchun's.

If Duan Zhengchun hadn't changed rooms, it would actually have been very easy to notice the movement.

Because Gu Hanyuan had sharp ears and eyes, he heard a sound that made his face look strange as soon as he arrived outside Dao Baifeng's door.

Gu Hanyuan gently pushed open the door; the people in the room were obviously too busy to notice.

However, he didn't mean to look down on Dao Baifeng; after all, counting Duan Yu's age, it had been almost twenty years, and she had often been at odds with Duan Zhengchun and moved to Yuxu Temple.

As a result, after finally moving back for a few days, it was all annoying things.

First, Duan Zhengchun's several lovers caused a scene at Prince Zhennan's Mansion, and Duan Yu almost married Mu Wanqing.

Then at Wan Jiegu, she encountered Duan Yanqing, whom she least wanted to see.

Then there was Gan Baobao's encounter, which made her feel both gratified and lonely.

Gratified that it was more satisfying than when she sought out Duan Yanqing to take revenge on Duan Zhengchun.

And lonely at Gan Baobao's happy and satisfied appearance after she appeared.

She was also annoyed that Duan Zhengchun still had lingering feelings for Gan Baobao even like this, trying to win her back without looking back at her, the heartless man.

In addition, it was inevitable to have associations when listening to Zhong Wanchou's description at the time.

It just so happened that she met the protagonist during the day, so her mind was a bit chaotic, and in the end, she could only pretend to be dissatisfied with Zhong Ling and speak less.

Fortunately, Duan Zhengchun didn't suspect anything.

It was understandable to want to relieve loneliness at night.

After Gu Hanyuan finished watching a big show, he spoke:

"The Wang Fei is in a good mood."

The sudden voice gave Dao Baifeng a huge scare.

Gu Hanyuan looked at the tool that fell to the ground and asked curiously:

"Can the Wang Fei tell me what material this thing is made of? Pure white, smooth texture, ivory? Or rhinoceros horn?"

It could only be said that the wisdom of the working people was infinite; such things existed in that era, and they were made quite realistically.

After Dao Baifeng barely covered herself with a quilt, seeing Gu Hanyuan's gaze and hearing his words, it was obvious he had been there for quite a while. For a moment, she was simply ashamed and angry to the point of wanting to die.

"Wutian! How could you be here! Aren't you afraid I'll call for help?"

Her stern appearance still couldn't hide Dao Baifeng's fear.

"I'm actually quite curious: in this situation, am I the one afraid of being seen, or is the Wang Fei afraid of being seen?"

Gu Hanyuan was fearless.

"What is your purpose? If there's nothing, please get out!"

Dao Baifeng was indeed guilty and didn't say anything about calling for help anymore.

"I originally did have serious business to discuss with the Wang Fei, but I didn't expect to let me watch a big show first. Should it be considered a gain?"

Gu Hanyuan shook his head and smiled subtly.

"Serious business?"

Dao Baifeng didn't believe Gu Hanyuan's words; would he run into her room late at night to discuss serious business? Did he think she was a three-year-old child?

"I accidentally heard a sentence that is like a poem and not a poem, like a riddle and not a riddle: 'Outside Tianlong Temple, under the Bodhi tree, the beggar is slovenly, Guanyin has long hair.'"

Gu Hanyuan's voice seemed somewhat distant and somewhat eerie.

Hearing his words, Dao Baifeng's face changed drastically, and her originally rosy complexion instantly turned pale.

"Then I was curious for a moment and investigated, only to discover a big secret. I didn't expect Duan Zhengchun to be romantic all his life, only to end up raising a son for his enemy."

Gu Hanyuan didn't keep Dao Baifeng in suspense and directly flipped his cards.

Dao Baifeng was already somewhat dazed and had no strength to grasp the quilt tightly.

Gu Hanyuan was also somewhat amazed; even at night, it seemed to emit a white light, worthy of the name White Jade Guanyin.

"Although I don't care about Duan Zhengchun's feelings, the exposure of this matter would be very hurtful to the Wang Fei and Little Brother Duan Yu. I am not a big villain; as long as the Wang Fei agrees to my conditions, I can naturally keep it hidden."

Although Dao Baifeng intuitively felt Gu Hanyuan had no good intentions, a drowning person wouldn't care if the straw they grabbed was real.

"What are your conditions?"

Gu Hanyuan glanced at the tool on the ground and smiled playfully.

"I just hope the Wang Fei can tell me if this thing is easier to use than mine."

After hearing this, Dao Baifeng's originally eased complexion became ugly again.

"Is this your purpose?"

"This is a win-win cooperation, isn't it? What's the point of something without temperature?"

The eyes revealed on Gu Hanyuan's mask were meaningful.

"Shameless!"

Dao Baifeng's expression was resistant.

Gu Hanyuan let out a familiar evil laugh.

"Wang Fei, you wouldn't want Duan Zhengchun to know that Duan Yu isn't his biological son, would you?"

These words destroyed Dao Baifeng's heart.

The secret hidden for many years was exposed to the sun, making her like a hedgehog exposing its belly, no longer setting up defenses.

She glared at Gu Hanyuan angrily.

"You win."

Saying this, she simply lifted the quilt.

The movement in the room gradually grew, but unfortunately, Duan Zhengchun had moved away from next door and knew nothing.

"Is this how you treat Gan Baobao?"

"Not to that extent yet."

"I want the same as her. No, I want to be stronger than her."

"Are you sure, Wang Fei?"

"Wait! I take it back! Asshole!"

At this moment, Duan Zhengchun couldn't sleep because of Gan Baobao, Zhong Ling, and Mu Wanqing.

He opened the window.

Looking at the big green tree outside the courtyard reflected by the moonlight, his irritable mood actually calmed down a lot.

"This big green tree is growing really well."
