"Are you Ji Muqing's friend?"

Originally, she was still curious about what kind of "henchman" would come, but when Gao Ran saw that the person who arrived a day earlier than she expected was actually Amu-the Amu who was specially left by Ji Muqing to watch her when she was "under house arrest" in Ji Muqing's courtyard, she was even more sure that this person was not Ji Muqing's confidant. There may well be a more complicated relationship between them.

So, after Gao Ran met him, he deliberately asked directly as soon as he opened his mouth.

Amu was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed unconsciously, but he still chose to remain silent and not answer.

Gao Ran waited for a long time but still didn't wait for his reply, she was not discouraged, but continued to make persistent efforts to round herself while continuing to ask: "Okay, if you don't answer, you won't answer." Then what are your specialties? This should be able to tell me, right? I mean, do you have anything that is particularly strong than ordinary people? Well, I have seen your ability to chase people, and it is indeed not inferior to Tiange. Otherwise, Ji Muqing sent you here, wouldn't it be a drag on me?"

Although Amu had never heard such a statement before, based on the comprehensive judgment of Gao Ran's tone and demeanor when she spoke, he could roughly guess what she meant by "dragging her feet".

However, he was still silent.

"If you don't answer, then I'll leave it at your confidence that you are truly unique and can really help me...... But you should always tell me your name, right?

"Although I have always seen you for a while, I have never asked your name, and the people in the other courtyard only call you 'Childe...... What is your name? I can't call you 'hey' or 'hey' in the future, can I?

"Or, do you want me to call you that in the future?—— I can first state that when you walk with me 'together' by my side in the future, if you always call me 'Childe' and I call you 'Childe', it will be more noticeable. Or do you want us to be noticeable?"

Amu was silent for a while before he whispered, "Amu." ”

"Oh...... Well, it's really as the name suggests, and it's really a piece of wood. ”

Xiao Xiao complained, but seeing that Amu still didn't change his expression at all, and his eyes didn't fluctuate at all, Gao Ran added to himself consciously and boringly:

"My name is Gao Ran, you can call me 'Gao Ran' directly in the future, you don't have to call me any 'little boy' anymore.

"You may not know it, but your attitude doesn't look like a retinue at all. When I was by Ji Muqing's side before, it wasn't like it, and now in front of me, it's even less like it. - It's not even as good as the posture you were used to when you were next to Ji Muqing.

"In this case, if you still call me 'little boy', it will make people even more suspicious. Then if you stay with me, you will not help me, but harm me. Got it?

"Okay, since you don't speak, then I'll take you by default. Now that we've agreed on the title, let's talk about something else...... I don't know, how much do you know about the relationship between me and Ji Muqing?"

Seeing that Gao Ran finally said that he was back to business, Amu replied unhurriedly: "I only know that only by protecting you can Your Majesty be good." ”

"Uh...... That's right...... However, it always makes people listen to ambiguous understandings...... I want to know, is this what Ji Muqing just told you? Or did you already know all the inside information before you told me this?"

When Amu heard this, he frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Should I know something?"

"Huh?" Gao Ran looked at Amu expressionlessly, blinked a few times dryly, and then replied slowly: "Then it depends on what kind of relationship you have with Ji Muqing." It's a pity that you won't say it. Then what I know, I can't share with you. Otherwise, wouldn't I have suffered a loss? I would never have made a loss-making transaction!"

Sure enough, being provoked by Gao Ran like this, Amu did hesitate for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything, just remained silent.

But his reaction was enough to let Gao Ran know: he was at least not absolutely loyal to Ji Muqing, and he was not loyal to him, but had other intentions - or maybe there was some agreement between them. - Looking at a person with a temperament like Amu, Gao Ran feels that this is the most likely. It's just that I don't know, what kind of agreement is there between them, and what does he want from Ji Muqing in the end?

Gao Ran felt that only by knowing the secret between them could she finally truly convince Amu to at least stand on the same side with her and help her wholeheartedly at least until she settled the matter on Yunxiang's side.

"Okay, then you think about it slowly. Anyway, the coming days will be long, and we will get along for a long time in the future. When you think about it, you're always welcome to exchange information with me.

"But let's talk about it first, if you want to know Ji Muqing's Achilles' heel from me, then you have to tell me the truth about your true identity and the true intention of why you stayed by Ji Muqing's side to listen to his dispatch. Otherwise, I have nothing to say about your curiosity. And you should know that, with my abilities, you can't really threaten me at the moment, even if you're close to me. Otherwise, you wouldn't really be willing to stay away from Ji Muqing and come to me obediently.

"You will come, it is enough to show that even if you don't know the inside story, you are very clear about the fact that I can contain Ji Muqing. Otherwise, just based on the ambiguous words he told you, how could you really listen to him send me to my side?—— unless you think that temporarily leaving Ji Muqing himself and choosing to find a breakthrough from me may help you achieve your own goals faster.

"Say, am I right?"

After speaking, Gao Ran gave Amu a very unceremonious look, and didn't care what kind of psychological reaction he would have at the moment - anyway, in the end, it would only be silence. She turned around and walked straight to the backyard, ready to lead the horse and set off directly from the back door to Yunxiang.

"Let's go, take your horse to the back door and wait for me, and we'll be on our way." ”

As the words fell, Gao Ran had already turned into the backyard and disappeared from Amu's field of vision.

——

From the first time he saw Amu, he refused to give up his horse to Gao Ran, to the nodding friendship with him in Ji Muqing's other courtyard later, and then to the day and night when he followed her to Yunxiang - even sometimes because of the poor conditions and had to spend the night in different rooms, or occasionally had to spend the night in the wild, and because of the arrival of the cold season, and they were getting closer to Yunxiang, whose temperature was much lower than that of Banana Country, they had to stay warm next to each other for the night- They got along like this for nearly a year, until they returned to the small city where Gao Ran had separated from Qiao'er.

After getting along like this, even if Gao Ran wants to hide any bad habits, he will be discovered by Amu sooner or later. And if that's the case, it's better not to pretend from the beginning. In this way, even if it is indeed a bad habit in Amu's eyes, it will not be excessively magnified once it is discovered because Gao Ran has deliberately hidden it.

In fact, from the moment Gao Ran decided to take Amu with her, she had already thought of a strategy for getting along with him in the future - she wanted to expose her true self (except for the part related to Ji Muqing) in front of him as naturally as possible, as if he were a transparent person, and act according to her own true wishes. In this way, he can see not only the strengths and weaknesses that he thinks she has, but also the strengths and bad habits that he thinks she has.

After all, for Amu, Gao Ran just decided to gamble, bet: once he subdued his heart, then he would definitely be a big help to her, not a hindrance. But she knew nothing about his true likes and dislikes.

Therefore, before roughly grasping Amu's true likes and dislikes, Gao Ran could only show him her truth as comprehensively as possible. And as for whether the advantages and disadvantages in her eyes also happen to be the advantages and disadvantages in his eyes?—— this is secondary. The most important thing is to make him quickly get used to the bad habits that he sees in front of her, rather than magnifying them too much and paying too much attention to them. - What she wants is for him to get used to her truth, especially to the bad habits that he thinks of her.

Of course, in this process, it is also an excellent opportunity for Gao Ran to take the opportunity to speculate on Amu's possible true likes and dislikes. - The more he knows her truth, and the more he gets used to hers, the more she can in turn understand his truth, and the more she knows how to use his truth skillfully.

——

After the two arrived at the small city where Qiao'er was, as soon as they entered the city, Gao Ran took Amu and went straight to Qiu Yueze's other courtyard here.

Although she knew that if Qiao'er wasn't taking care of her in her hermitage at this time, she would be staying in the medical hall that Ye Yu entrusted to her to take care of before she left.

Gao Ran remembered that Ye Jue had told her that before she left Yunxiang, she had settled Qiao'er properly: she said that someone would come here in the future to take back the medical hall she entrusted to Qiao'er. said that she only had to wait for another year or two, and then, whether or not the last person came to take over the medical center, she would be able to leave. - Let Qiao'er repay her for her teaching over the years. So, Qiao'er responded.

And when Ye Yu told her this, Gao Ran realized that Ye Yu had planned to hand over the medical hall to Qiao'er when he left. - Because it will only be Gao Ran who will come back to take back the medical hall at that time, and Gao Ran will not really accept it, so if you come and go, in the end, this medical hall will only be left to Qiao'er who wants to open a medical hall.

But before going to meet Qiao'er and solve this matter, Gao Ran still decided to go to Qiu Yueze's courtyard first, and meet the current housekeeper of the courtyard that Qiu Yueze has left there so far - the one who has influenced Qiao'er even more than her "seven".

Moreover, the reason why Ye Yu noticed her and dragged her into the water to take revenge for herself was also instigated by the "seven" —— this account, which Gao Ran still remembers.

Therefore, whether it is to settle accounts, or to prevent the inevitable troubles in the future, Gao Ran feels that it is necessary for her to meet the "seven" first, and to explore his current bottom first. It is best to find out if what he really wants now is still the same as before?—— and if he is willing to take the overall situation into account and agree to be patient for the time being, then she is not unable to benefit from him. - This is better than not only adding another potential enemy to herself, but also leaving Qiu Yueze with a hidden danger that is difficult to deal with......

Then, go see Qiao'er again.

In this way, when Gao Ran sees Qiao'er again, she can rely on all the useful information she has captured from "Seven" before to assist her to re-evaluate Qiao'er more accurately from more angles, so as not to be confused by appearances.

After all, this time, that time.

Now that she is no longer the Gao Ran she used to be, how can she ask Qiao'er to be the same as before?

It's just that she needs to confirm whether Qiao'er's change will be an obstacle or even a threat to her? If not, then no matter what Qiao'er wants, as long as Gao Ran can satisfy it, she will not be able to do what she wants, but if she has become a potential threat to Gao Ran, then she can only strike first.
