Gao Ran knew that Amu had already given her the closest hint to the truth within the scope he could reveal: the Tiange branch of the small countries between Yunxiang and Jiaoguo was not completely under Qiu Yueze's orders, and it might even be mixed with the spies planted by Gao Liwen.

But these have touched the bottom line that Amu must defend, and Gao Ran is naturally interested in not asking more. As for the truth that needs to be known, but it is not easy to get it out of Amu's mouth directly, Gao Ran has no choice but to take advantage of Amu's absence tomorrow to privately order "Seven", who is now close by her side, and Gao Xi, who is lurking near her, to let them go separately to investigate privately, and then summarize their respective returns, and then make the next decision. - By the way, I also let Gao Xi inform Qiu Yueze of this matter in time. - But Gao Xi's actions can't let "Seven" know.

For a moment, Gao Ran suddenly had a hunch: he only felt that he was about to enter what might be the darkest and most chaotic path at the moment. If she can survive this period, then she will be able to usher in the peaceful and comfortable life she has longed for for a long time, and may even be able to live the rest of her life comfortably as she wishes, but if she can't survive, then she is also mentally prepared: she has decided to accompany "freedom" until the last moment of her life, and never leave. - Even if she dies, she will die by her own hands.

After making some calculations in his heart, Gao Ran asked Amu to go to sleep early in the next room, and he would split up with her tomorrow morning: Gao Ran wanted to go to bed with "Seven" went to see Qiao'er together, and Amu was responsible for contacting Gao Liwen and informing him of the matter they discussed tonight; in addition, Gao Ran also specially instructed Amu to inform Gao Liwen of the deadline she could wait, if the deadline did not wait for any clear reply from Gao Liwen, then she would default that he had made up his mind to be her enemy, if that was the case, then she would not let go of the first thing she would not let go, that is, Amu who was close by.

Gao Ran believes that even if Gao Liwen doesn't care about Amu's life or death, since he will bother to leave a bloodline that only belongs to him and protect him to grow up safely to this day, then presumably he will not give up Amu so easily. Otherwise, wouldn't all these years of hard work be in vain?

Gao Ran always had a feeling: Gao Liwen bothered to keep Amu and cultivate him so far, he must not just want to cultivate a right hand for himself who will be absolutely loyal to him. He must have some more secret intentions that only someone like Amu who is directly related to him can help him achieve them. Otherwise, why did he have to risk his reputation, leave himself a "wild seed", and still cultivate him so carefully to grow up?

——After getting along day and night along the way, Gao Ran found that with Amu's ability, even if he was compared to any candidate in the Heavenly Pavilion who was expected to compete for the next pavilion master, he was not inferior. He has the potential to not only be in charge of himself, but also to lead a large force of considerable size. And such ability and vision that should not be underestimated are obviously something that he has been exposed to since he was a child, and has accumulated and developed over the years.

Gao Ran also had a lot of doubts because of this: if time could be turned back, if she didn't have to support Ji Muqing, and didn't suddenly intervene - not only gave Ji Muqing some support from Tiange and Medical Valley, but also affected the support bias of the Dong family, then now, even if Ji Muqing can still ascend to the throne, will he already be a puppet emperor in Amu's hands?

Gao Ran thought about it many times, but every time he felt that if she hadn't been involved in it, or if Fu Wenxuan had indeed taken her away as he wished, then it was really impossible to say which force would have become a puppet controlled by Ji Muqing now. - At least, Gao Liwen would have specially sent Amu to Ji Muqing's side to support him in seizing the throne, most of which was for this purpose, and Tiange, if it weren't for her restraints, I am afraid that he would not have treated Ji Muqing who had not yet become a climate so restrained.

But then again, if this is the case, especially if she fails to deal with the matter that Yigu asked her to do, then the revenge between the banana country and Yigu will affect her sooner or later......

"Alas, it seems that no matter how you try to do it all over again, you can't avoid it after all, and I'm afraid that the more you try to avoid it, the more troublesome it will become......"

I don't know whether it's to appease myself, or to remind myself not to escape easily, in short, every time I think about "if I can do it all over again", in the end, Gao Ran will always unconsciously say such a sentence to himself, and then he can calmly return to the present from the fugue and live in the present......

——

Early the next morning, Gao Ran took Amu and "Seven" out together. But once out of the gate, Amu left alone—and whether he could get rid of the people Seven might send to spy on him was up to him.

However, if he didn't even have this ability, then he would not be qualified to continue to stay by Gao Ran's side - not to mention, from today onwards, due to the agreement reached with "Seven", in the future, "Seven" will personally accompany Gao Ran until he goes to the capital with her and meets Qiu Yueze.

In this way, this time to let Amu act freely, even if he has the ability to persuade Gao Liwen, even if it only depends on whether he can successfully transmit the message to Gao Liwen without being tracked down by "Seven", it is enough to test: Is Amu still qualified to continue to stay by Gao Ran's side, and can still convince "Seven" to work with him temporarily?

After all, the more self-proclaimed people are, the higher their morale tends to be, and they will easily not be convinced. Therefore, if you want the two people next to you to cooperate tacitly in the future, then Gao Ran must first allow them to use their own way to obtain the other party's sincere recognition: at least they cannot be worse than the other party, and they must also have advantages that the other party does not have, so that the other party can see their irreplaceability, so that they can temporarily balance the other party.

Because of this, it was a calm morning, but for the three of them, it was not calm at all......

After the three of them separated and set off separately, Gao Ran followed the path of "Seven" and went straight to Ye Yu's medical hall. They almost pinched the spot - just in time for Qiao'er to open his doors.

In fact, since Ye Yu left, Qiao'er has renovated this medical hall inside and outside according to her own preferences, making it look more like a "serious" and "normal" medical hall, and making it easier for people to find it.

Therefore, when Gao Ran really saw this medical hall with his own eyes for the first time, it was no longer what it was when Ye Yu was there, but it seemed to have become a rather coincidental preference. And Gao Ran, because of her understanding of Ye Yu herself, makes it possible for her to see at a glance even if she doesn't have a special explanation of "seven": The current appearance of the medical hall is definitely not its original appearance, and it is definitely not Ye Yu's preference, but the preference.

"Seven, before you talk to Qiao'er alone, I want to talk to her a few words. ”

Listening to Gao Ran's instructions, "Seven" nodded his head, deliberately slowed down his pace, and gradually distanced himself from Gao Ran unconsciously, allowing Gao Ran to walk in front of Qiao'er first. But at the same time, he also allowed Qiao'er to see him from a distance not far behind Gao Ran - that distance was not only convenient for them to chat privately, but also convenient for him to step forward and interject at any time. With such a distance, even if he didn't specifically step forward, his sense of presence was enough to affect Qiao'er's possible reaction when dealing with Gao Ran.

But before Gao Ran spoke, Qiao'er didn't immediately recognize Gao Ran, who was still dressed as a man at the moment. She only felt that this "not ugly" son, who was really rare in appearance, looked a little familiar. I am also puzzled by the attitude of "Seven" towards "him". From time to time, he glanced at "Seven", who had never approached not far away, and on the other hand, he took the initiative to ask Gao Ran with a little doubt: "This little boy, do you have something to do with me?"

"Qiao'er, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you don't recognize me?"

Although she had begun to enter the period of voice change, and her appearance had changed a little, Gao Ran's familiar tone of voice immediately evoked Qiao'er's relevant memories, and she exclaimed with certainty: "Miss!"

Immediately after, Qiao'er hurriedly asked, "Miss, are you back, when did you come back?" Oh, I really miss you, Miss ......."

Saying that, Gao Ran was hugged by Qiao'er for a long time - in this world, I am afraid that only Gao Xi and Qiao'er will be so presumptuous and intimate with her. It's just that, compared to Qiao'er, Gao Xi is still quite restrained, especially after she confessed that she didn't like to have too close physical contact with others, Gao Xi became more restrained.

In the face of this sudden "attack", Gao Ran could only grit her teeth and endure it, patiently waiting for Qiao'er's enthusiasm to begin to retreat, and then speak to her to let go - with her understanding of Qiao'er in the past, it would be futile to speak to her when she was emotional.

"Qiao'er, can you let me go?" I have something to tell you...... it was easy to wait until Qiao'er's excitement began to subside, and then Gao Ran opened his mouth and whispered to her.

Gao Ran's always cold response made Qiao'er's emotions subside quickly, and also invisibly made her unconsciously restrain some of her original overly intimate attitudes and mannerisms. Although Gao Ran has always been calm with her, Qiao'er has already realized that the young lady she hasn't seen for many years seems to be more difficult to get close to now than before.

"Miss, what do you want to say?I, I'll listen......" As she spoke, Qiao'er's tone became softer and softer. She finally began to regret her abrupt gesture with some hindsight. Thinking about treating Gao Ran like this is indeed a bit presumptuous. The more I thought about it, the more empty my heart became.

"Hehe, don't be nervous. ”

Saying that, Gao Ran finally took the initiative to touch Qiao'er and patted her arm gently, but then withdrew his hand again and no longer had any contact with her.

She continued: "Qiao'er, I came to tell you that this medical hall will be yours from now on. In addition, the hermitage I asked you to maintain is also given to you. Now that the world is getting more and more peaceful, maybe in the future, you will really need to take refuge there. ”

"What? really? Really? Miss, will this medical center really be given to me in the future?" Who thought, Qiao'er only listened to the first half of the sentence, but she ignored Gao Ran's reminder of the second half of the sentence.

"Hmm. It's true. ”

Gao Ran sensed that Qiao'er didn't seem to care about her disposition of the hermitage, but she didn't plan to remind Qiao'er again—"it was reserved for her possible refuge in the future"—this critical purpose. In Gao Ran's opinion, since it is something she no longer intends to want, since she has already opened her mouth, whether the other party attaches importance to it or not, it is no longer related to her, and she is too lazy to pay attention to the idle things that are no longer related to her.

However, even though it is just a simple explanation, it is enough for Gao Ran to have a rough re-understanding of today's Qiao'er: first of all, Qiao'er's impression of her is still stuck when they were separated, and Qiao'er seems to be still as determined as she was back then, and now they are still "one", so they will ignore the "refuge" she specially instructed......;

"Alas-" Gao Ran sighed a little helplessly, and then said to Qiao'er with a light smile: "Qiao'er, 'Seven' he also has something to tell you...... I'll go away and let you talk for a while, and we'll talk when you're done. ”

"Oh......" Qiao'er whispered a little reservedly and a little embarrassed.

She obviously didn't know how to deal with this Gao Ran, who was a little unfamiliar to her. After the joy brought to her by the good news just now passed, she suddenly became inexplicably embarrassed in the face of Gao Ran in front of her.

Gao Ran didn't care about Qiao'er's reaction, only turned around and glanced at "Seven" behind him, and motioned for him to come over with his eyes. Then, at the same time that "Seven" walked towards Qiao'er, she went straight into the medical hall and began to visit the specific appearance of the medical hall transformed by Qiao'er.
