Duan Cheng Xuan had mercilessly taken her child away, and this matter might be something that she would remember for the rest of her life.

However, staying in the past had never been Gu Liuyan's style. She should suppress her fear and directly face Duan Chengxuan's wide and warm palm, which had fallen onto his abdomen. She wanted to firmly press down on his hand when he withdrew it out of guilt.

"Do you feel anything?" Gu Liuyan pressed the back of his hand, leaning forward slightly: "I'm teaching him how to beat, I'm teaching him how to come to this world, this is also my right and duty."

Separated by two layers of cloth, Duan Chengxuan felt his scalp go numb.

He had killed countless people, ending their lives and bringing them back to the underworld, but he was still afraid of the children who were coming. It was almost hard to imagine.

"But if something happens to you, I'll still choose you." Duan Chengxuan retracted his hand and held her ice-cold hand. "You don't have to comfort me because of my fault."

"You can sleep in your room after you're ready to run away." With a cold expression, Gu Liuyan pushed him out of the door and slammed it shut.

The bundle at his feet rolled twice before finally stopping at Duan Chengxuan's feet.

He raised his hand and bent down to pick up the bundle in the end, then walked over to the neighboring room while instructing his subordinates, "I've asked for information about Navy Tide and have them deliver it to my room one by one."

"Is it your room or your wife's room?" The guard asked carefully.

"My room." Biting the words a little too hard, Duan Chengxuan walked into the room next door and calmly closed the door.

A few of his subordinates looked at each other, not knowing if the two of them were really arguing or not.

For several days in a row, Duan Chengxuan and Gu Liuyan had never appeared under the same roof at the same time. Even if they coincidentally bumped into each other, it would only be when Gu Liuyan returned to the house with a dark expression.

However, Duan Chengxuan's subordinates were constantly coming over, and they were sending messages from all over the place.

Today, Duan Chengxuan only looked at the report in his hand and didn't expect that the Void Stage Elder's actions would be so quick. Lai Xuan had only just given the command position to the Void Stage Elder, but this Void Stage Elder had already raised her own name to rebel and became the king, using the name of Yanjiang as her name and wanted to become enemies with Gu Cheng and Ai Yan at the same time.

Gu Sheng's letter to Gu Daiyan also mentioned that he was the one who had informed the two cities that the alliance had been formed, and she hoped that Gu Mingyan would be able to help him come up with a plan.

Even the paper and bamboo tubes were thrown into the water. Duan Chengxuan's face was as dark as it could be. "Since when did these military machines have to bother her with important matters?!"

The subordinate before him carefully took a step back, not daring to approach.

While Duan Chengxuan was still thinking about how to balance the various matters, the open door had already been knocked. Gu Danyan, who was wearing a bamboo green robe, stood by the door and raised his eyebrows, "Is it Gu Sheng who asked for my help, or Lai Xuan?"

"It's Gu Sheng." Duan Chengxuan raised his hand and had someone move the chair and cushion for her to sit on.

"Looks like they've already formed an alliance. Help me send a letter, get him to prepare for Gu Cheng to discover him. Next, we should move forward to pressure him so that he won't think of using the remaining time to think of any defensive maps. The key is to clearly understand what Gu Cheng wants, and only the right medicine will be able to topple him." Gu Liuyan sat down and got someone to pour her a cup of warm water.

"Gu Cheng really wants a lot of things." Duan Cheng Xuan was finally able to sized her up in broad daylight.

"Then there should also be a priority. Moreover, based on what you said before, if the person who poisoned the underground waters was not Ai Yan, then Gu Cheng's ambition would have been a little too big." Gu Danyan raised an eyebrow, "In the midst of war, one can reasonably kill people. If Gu Cheng's goal was this, as long as he still had some skills left in the Navy Tide Imperial Hall, the few great powers might not be in a state of chaos, and would soon become his tools for eternal life."

"He doesn't know the details." Duan Chengxuan frowned.

However, Gu Danyan shook his finger: "Not necessarily. Just like how you can't confirm it, has anyone investigated the Yun Ancestor's stone tablet? I don't know why someone would find Blackwater Town."

Nothing is watertight.

"If that's the case, you're using your military assistance in exchange for Gu Cheng's information." Duan Cheng Xuan opened up the next bamboo tube.

"He hurt my mother, so I naturally won't let him go." Gu Danyan put down the empty cup.

"Tomorrow your school is going to open, these things …"

"You read out important information in my room every day, and now you want me to ignore it?" Gu Danyan's eyebrows raised. His hand that was holding the handrail also turned slightly pale: "You purposely made me show weakness."

"Since you know of it, why did you still come over?" The corners of Duan Chengxuan's mouth raised with a smile, and he finally put down the thing in his hand for the time being.

Gu Liuyan was very angry at this. These days, she could only listen to the sounds coming from next door, but it only made her more restless. Now, she could only restrain her anger: "If you want to come, then come. I won't give in."

"I won't give in either." Duan Chengxuan had a gloomy expression. "Go open your academy."

Gu Liuyan bit her lips and was about to ask angrily, when a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, causing her to sit down calmly. She poured herself another cup of hot tea and said softly: "I haven't slept well recently, and my bed is also very cold."

Duan Cheng Xuan was indifferent.

Clenching his fingers, Gu Liuyan cleared his throat: "I'm actually quite worried about the three emperors …"

"I'll accompany you." Duan Chengxuan continued to look at the scroll in his hand.

"I'm a little bored. I'll teach you a little more tomorrow. It would be best if you could get along with the kids." Shaking the warm water in her hand, Gu Mingyan propped herself up on the armrest as she watched Duan Ling Tian raise her head with interest.

The latter knocked on the table with her fingers. "What else do you want to know?"

"I want to know what you want to do to secretly help Navy Tide and get involved with the Empress." Gu Daiyan quickly asked.

That pair of deep eyes looked straight ahead, as if his mind was wandering in the sky. His lips moved, but he did not make a single sound, and only after a moment did he coldly sweep his gaze over Gu Daiyan: "Why can't you be ugly?"

"What are you talking about!" Gu Liuyan smashed his cup and left in a fit of anger.

The man didn't pursue her. Instead, he sat down at the table with a dejected expression.

In his eyes, there were quite a number of men who coveted Tsing Yan, but their goals were different.

On the scroll in his hand, there was a note saying that Duan Guowei had sent someone to the Third Prince's mansion. It seemed like she was looking for traces of Gu Danyan. She had thought that Gu Danyan had stayed in the Third Prince's mansion, but she hadn't killed him yet.

"I've seen my elder brother's princes, none of them are promising." He cursed out in a low voice, threw the scroll in his hand into the water, and stroked his forehead with a headache.

Why were they targeting his women one by one!
