According to the report from Tiange, among the leaders of the various forces who were summoned to Beijing by Yun Zhen, the first to rush to the capital was Fu Tong, the head of the Fu family. And among the group of people she brought, Fu Wenxuan and Gao Yu were naturally listed. It's just that to Gao Ran's surprise, they actually brought Amu, who is now half paralyzed and only has an upper body that can move.

And after they came to Beijing, before they were summoned by Yun Zhen, it was natural that they would openly visit the Gao family as their in-laws, and they would live in Gao Mansion until they could leave Beijing.

Therefore, Gao Ran only needs to wait quietly in his courtyard, and Fu Wenxuan will soon come uninvited.

But thinking of Fu Wenxuan, Gao Ran naturally thought of the words he had asked her to bring to An Yujie. But after An Yujie came to Beijing, she moved into the palace alone, and the elders who came to Beijing with her lived in Yun Zhen's courtyard outside the palace. And Gao Ran has never seen Yun Zhen since he returned to Beijing, and he doesn't want to take risks rashly sneaking into the palace alone to meet An Yujie privately during this sensitive period. What's more, the reason why she deliberately waited for Yun Zhen's reaction was also to be able to firmly control the initiative in future negotiations, so she couldn't take risks easily. Therefore, until Fu Wenxuan came to live in Gaofu on his hind feet, Gao Ran still did not convey his words to An Yujie.

"It seems that before we enter the palace to see Yu'er, I have to explain this to Wen Xuan first, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

After reminding himself a little, Gao Ran didn't think much about the meeting in the future. Just patiently waited for Fu Wenxuan's uninvited.

Sure enough, although Gao Ran did not follow Gao Lan and Gao Qi to welcome the arrival of the distinguished guests, the Fu family and his party had just entered the Gao Mansion with the master's family, and while the two heads of the family were discussing important matters, Fu Wenxuan took the opportunity to shake off everyone and sneaked to Gao Ran's small courtyard by himself.

"It came sooner than I expected. Why? Why did you come alone? I thought you would bring Gao Yu and Amu with me. ”

Before Fu Wenxuan arrived, he had already heard Gao Ran's question. Knowing that she used her internal force, she sent the voice straight to his ears. But at this distance, he hadn't even seen her courtyard. He had already sensed his whereabouts from such a distance?—— at least, at such a distance, he could not detect anyone approaching.

"How did she do it?"

At least, Fu Wenxuan could be sure that Gao Randing was not able to perceive his existence from such a long distance because of his deep internal strength. Moreover, not only was she easily aware of his approach, but she had also delivered the words into his ears so accurately that she had not in the least alarmed the birds that happened to pass by him. It can be seen that her transmission into the ears is indeed only aimed at him alone, rather than vaguely generalizing to the entire area where he is - to such an extent, he will never be able to do it. He also doesn't believe that anyone can do it with deep internal strength alone.

Fu Wenxuan couldn't help but stop and stand for a while before he regained his composure. He knew that Gao Ran was "reminding" him that this was not the same as before, and before he regarded her as his friend Gao Ran, he had to clearly realize that she was very dangerous, and she could even easily take his life as long as she wanted to.

"Perhaps, she is also in this mood when she treats her classmates......" For some reason, when he personally felt this complicated feeling of having to balance his vigilance against Gao Ran and his trust in her at all times, Fu Wenxuan immediately thought of the mood that he really experienced at this moment, Gao Ran was probably experiencing such a mood all the time since she worshipped Zhao Yi as a teacher.

As far as Fu Wenxuan is concerned, he has met Zhao Yi and Gao Ran, two disciples of the Medical Valley, but Gao Ran is different, she must have also come into contact with other medical Gu disciples besides Zhao Yi. And if most of the people she has come into contact with are the same as her current cultivation, then the mood he has only experienced at this moment is afraid that Gao Ran will often have it.

He remembers Gao Ran reminding him that "sometimes, the biggest threat often comes from competition from the same kind, not from outside...... Thinking about it now, Fu Wenxuan couldn't help but wonder: Is the reason why she has such a feeling is related to her own personal experience? Is it true that to the disciples of the Medical Valley, their greatest threat is precisely their own fellow disciples? Otherwise, how could she say this? Moreover, how did the danger that faintly emanates from her body come about? And why did he have such an indescribable complicated mood at this moment just because of one of her words in his ears?

Fu Wenxuan couldn't help but suspect: Perhaps, they could survive the threat of competition with their fellow disciples in the Medical Valley—this was not easy in itself, and the skills they eventually cultivated might just be a by-product.

This kind of suspicion made Fu Wenxuan suddenly feel a little ridiculous: a few people would believe that the disciples of the Medicine Valley who were both envied and feared by the Jianghu people were all different and wonderful, but in fact they were just survival methods that they naturally cultivated in order to survive. Those skills that are not available in the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes, but in the disciples of the Medical Valley, they are only unconsciously cultivated in order to survive the competition with their peers. - Survival is their goal. Even, maybe, as long as they can survive, as for whether they can practice those skills, they don't care. Perhaps, for them, as long as the means available to them are applicable and sufficient, it is sufficient.

——This is what Fu Wenxuan observed and understood from Gao Ran. If his understanding of Gao Ran is not much different from the real her, then he has reason to believe that his suspicions are credible.

However, since Gao Ran will specifically "remind" him that he should be wary of her, it is probably because their meeting this time can no longer be as friendly as last time - not that there has been any change in their feelings, but that each other's positions may no longer be consistent.

"It seems that Ran Er should have made a decision in her heart......"

Thinking like this, Fu Wenxuan had also unconsciously walked into Gao Ran's small courtyard.

At this time, she was the only one at home, and You Song was in the academy at this time. And just as Fu Wenxuan was hesitating whether to walk directly into the open door without knocking, Gao Ran happened to come out of the house. - Perhaps, it wasn't really just a "coincidence"......

"Coming?"

Gao Ran greeted him with a light smile, and then turned to slowly walk deeper along a winding path next to the house that led to the back mountain.

Fu Wenxuan saw it and hurriedly followed.

When the two came to a small open space in the back mountain, Gao Ran sat directly on the ground against a towering tree beside him. When Fu Wenxuan saw it, he also learned from her to sit on the ground next to the big tree beside him, not caring at all that the soft soil on the ground stained his gorgeous clothes.

"You'll have to go back to see the 'guest' in a while, and you've soiled your clothes like this, isn't it?" Having said that, Gao Ran's tone was clearly just teasing, not caring.

"It's okay, it's a big deal to go back and change the clean one later. ”

"Oh—too. You came this time, but you can't leave until Yun Zhen is willing to let you go. It's fine to bring a few extra changes of clothes...... However, since you are the distinguished guests of the Gao family, even if you come empty-handed, the Gao family will not let you have no clothes to change. You are so 'thoughtful' in your preparations, do you not want to cause too much trouble to the master's family, or are you not worried about what the Gao family has prepared for you?"

Fu Wenxuan only smiled lightly and asked, "If you were me, what would you do?"

Gao Ran's eyes rolled, he chuckled, and stopped continuing the topic.

"Ran'er, give me the antidote, Amu decided to help me. ”

"Hmm...... The antidote can be given to you, but how can you be sure that he will help you, not you?"

"In the past few months, I only let him stay in the Fu family's private school in Qingli Town, and live with the children from poor families in the private school......"

"You mean, you let him see with his own eyes the desire of the children of poor families who are still struggling to survive and have no money to pay for a formal academy to change their destiny through reading?

"Hmm. I just hope that he can see with his own eyes that even in a peaceful and prosperous world like this, there are still so many poor families in Qingli Town, which is completely controlled by our Fu family, who are unable to send their children to study in the academy because they can't afford to pay for their cultivation. If there is no more support from the Fu family, then they will lose their last bit of hope for changing their fate......

"If other people in your Fu family say this to me, I won't necessarily believe it. More likely, you think that you are trying to win the hearts and minds of the people through this. But you are different, I know that what you are doing now is nothing more than trying to protect the Fu family and Gao Liwen at the same time, not really trying to capture Yunxiang. Therefore, I believe in your compassion for the poor people. I also believe that Amu, who has not been angered by the hatred that I have destroyed his belief in survival, should also be able to see the essential difference between you and the rest of the Fu family in his contact with you......"

"I asked him, if he lived for his father in the past, can he reconsider what he can do for himself and for the poor children in front of him?"

"Heh, if it weren't for the fact that I had been with you for a few months, otherwise, I would have doubted you at first glance when I heard you say this......" Speaking of this, Gao Ran suddenly closed his mouth vigilantly, and immediately felt a little afraid that he almost missed his mouth.

"Huh, what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing...... It's just that...... Suddenly remembered something more important...... "Regardless of whether Fu Wenxuan has become suspicious or not, Gao Ran does not plan to continue the topic just now. The secret that she was not a person from this world, she couldn't let Fu Wenxuan know if she died.

Fu Wenxuan also seemed to feel something, even if he did realize that Gao Ran clearly wanted to say something just now but concealed it, but since she refused to say it, it would be in vain for him to force her to ask, but he might also lose a lot because of this: no matter what secret she deliberately hidden, as long as it would not hinder him, then he didn't have to take the risk of being disgusted with Gao Ran from then on in order to satisfy his momentary curiosity. It's not worth it.

With a choice in his heart, Fu Wenxuan stopped asking interestingly, but instead asked about the "more important things" in her mouth, waiting for her reaction. He had already figured out that whether she really had something important to say afterwards, or just a perfunctory prevarication, he would cooperate and give her an appropriate response.

"Wen Xuan, I want to confirm one last time: what you really want is to protect the Fu family and Gao Liwen at the same time, not the Yun family?"

"Hmm. Why? You don't want me to be their enemy?"

"Hmm. At least for the rest of my life, I don't want you to be openly enemies. Moreover, since you all know that you want to let Amu experience the more promising side of the poor people's most real life, so as to inspire him to decide for himself: whether to make these poor people more miserable in order to satisfy Gao Liwen's selfish desires, or to do his own modest efforts while everything is still in time to prevent them from falling into more misery, and to do something for the people in time to maintain the long-term stability of Yunxiang when he can still affect the current situation.

"Since you can think of this, and you can inspire Amu to think of these things as well, then your sincerity should be the same as mine: if you can protect what you want to protect, and at the same time ensure the long-term peace and prosperity of Yunxiang, then you don't have to be the enemy of the Yun clan, right?

"You should also think that it is more beneficial to the people to choose to maintain the overall peace of the moment than to find a way to revive Yunxiang after completely defeating the Yun Clan, and then to repair the current deficiencies in a timely manner and improve Yunxiang's various defects little by little. Unless the rule of the Yun clan is no longer fundamentally suitable for the current development, the reconstruction method of completely shattering the rule that the Yun clan has maintained for hundreds of years and then re-establishing a new ruling system will only cause the people to suffer far more than they can reap from such a change.

"But obviously, it will make Yun's rule fundamentally no longer suitable for the overall improvement of the quality of life of the common people - such a new technology has not yet appeared, let alone fully spread to the real life of ordinary people. That being the case, the choice to completely destroy the Yun clan's rule and then re-establish a new order will do more harm than good at the moment! No matter which side wins in the end, it is the people who will suffer in the end.

"If your original intention is to minimize the harm to the people in addition to preserving yourself, then wouldn't it be against your original intention to overthrow the Yun clan and seize Yunxiang?
