Chapter 404: The Bet

Although he didn't know what happened, Bai Wutong already knew the seriousness of the situation, he took off the matching sword on the wall, and led Gu Wanwan out.

"I haven't taken my sword yet, what should I do?" She only cared about reminding Bai Wutong to pack up her important things, but she forgot her own things.

Her matching sword was given by Bai Wutong, and it is said that it was cast by the best swordsmith in the Xiliang Women's Country in the past, and it was also a very important thing, but she forgot to take it.

It is obviously impossible to go back and get it now, because Gu Zhenhai has already arrived with someone. There are more than a dozen people in the group, all of whom are practicing muscles and bones, and holding weapons.

These people should be the talents carefully cultivated by Gu Zhenhai, even if they are not defeated by Qingcheng, they will definitely not be too weak. Speaking of Qingcheng, he stood beside Gu Zhenhai, his eyebrows were deeply locked, and his gaze at the two of them was very complicated.

After standing still in front of the two of them, the iron blue color on Gu Zhenhai's face became even clearer. It's just that he didn't speak for a long time, glaring at Gu Wanwan with his angry gaze, as if he wanted to melt Gu Wanwan into the anger between his eyes.

"You ...... Is this leaving? It was Qingcheng who finally spoke.

"Senior brother, I'm sorry, we have to get out of here!" She said this to Qingcheng, but she was also telling Gu Zhenhai that the reason why she left was also a last resort.

When Gu Zhenhai heard this, he snorted angrily: "If you want to go, you can leave the treasures, the Tianshan Ice Silkworm and the Blood Amber will be left!" ”

He knew very well in his heart that the reason why Gu Wanwan was able to touch the ice silkworm without any scruples was entirely because the blood amber on her body gave her courage, so he not only wanted the ice silkworm, but also the blood amber.

She originally thought that Gu Zhenhai's previous request was already excessive enough, but when she heard this, she knew what the real excesses were.

"Dad, the blood amber is the thing of my Xiliang Female Country, and as for this Tianshan Ice Silkworm, I also worked hard to get it, so please forgive me for not being able to give it to you!" Although she was very depressed in her heart, she still didn't want to tear her face with Gu Zhenhai, and wanted to solve the whole thing in as peaceful a way as possible.

"Hmph, what are you from the Xiliang Women's Country? These four treasures originally belonged to the Changle Palace of the East China Sea, if it weren't for the ancestor who scattered them, how could you find them in the Xiliang Women's Kingdom? If you can find it, it's your Xiliang women's country? Isn't that ridiculous? Gu Zhenhai laughed coldly. After the previous anger, his expression at the moment was much calmer, but what was increasing unabated was his anger at what Gu Wanwan had done.

"Dad, I know that I will always be at fault when I reason with you, these treasures were indeed the things of Changle Palace, but since the ancestor has given up the treasures, it proves that he no longer wants those treasures, but wants to give people outside Changle Palace a chance to hunt for treasures. Since he has set the rule that if you find the Four Treasures, you can obtain the treasures, why can't you follow them? ”

He said that she was disobedient and even ungrateful, so what about him, wasn't he going against the will of his ancestor by doing this? She just hoped that Gu Zhenhai would be able to compare her heart with her heart after hearing these words and let them live.

Gu Zhenhai was stunned, and his gaze at Gu Wanwan was more intriguing.

"Master, in fact, Senior Sister's words are not unreasonable, why don't you think about it again?" Qingcheng whispered beside him. From the bottom of his heart, he still wanted to help his junior sister, because he had been running around with his sister for so long along the way, and seeing her search for treasures so hard, he really hoped that her wish would come true.

"What are you?" Gu Zhenhai snorted coldly, and then continued to look at Gu Wanwan, but this time, he changed his tone, "Gu Wanwan, do you know why the mermaid's tears are in Changle Palace?" Why did my master scatter the other Three Jewels, but left only the merman with tears? ”

Gu Wanwan and Bai Wutong glanced at each other, and their eyes were both stunned and incomprehensible.

Gu Zhenhai's sudden question must not be without purpose, and his purpose has always been to ask her to leave the treasure, so this answer is obviously related to the treasure.

"Because mermaid tears are the key to unlocking the treasure." Gu Wanwan replied to his gaze.

You can't be wrong with this answer! Sure enough, she saw a smile gradually spreading in Gu Zhenhai's eyes: "Yes, mermaid tears are the key to opening the treasure." Even if the world really collects the other three treasures, if it weren't for the mermaid tears in my hand, I wouldn't be able to get the treasure. At this point, you should know very well what the old man wants to express, right? ”

"Yes, you're trying to tell me that even if you collect all the Three Treasures, it's not a big deal, and as long as you don't agree with me taking the treasure, I still won't get anything." This is the genius of Master Zu! It seems to be very generous to the world, giving the world a chance to realize their wishes, but the final decision is still in the hands of the head of Changle Palace.

Whether the head of the house feels that the person who came to ask for the treasure is too ambitious and not sincere enough, or he is unwilling to hand over the treasure, or even he is in a bad mood, he can refuse the other party's request.

"If only you knew that!" Hearing Gu Wanwan's answer, Gu Zhenhai felt that this girl was not stupid, but even if she was smart, it was useless.

"So it doesn't matter if you don't want to hand over these treasures, you will never get them!" Gu Zhenhai laughed coldly, and looked at Gu Wanwan's increasingly lost expression with his smug attitude.

"Why? Daddy, why do you have to stop me? You know, I got those treasures just to restore the country, I didn't want to do bad things. Gu Wanwan's tone had softened.

Gu Zhenhai was right, she didn't have any capital to be proud of in front of him, because it was Gu Zhenhai who ultimately decided whether she could get those treasures.

If she can't get the treasures, what is the use of these treasures that she has worked so hard for? Is it just to keep it at home and enjoy it? Thinking about it this way, she felt so ridiculous.

"Who wants to get the treasure, who is not ambitious? It's useless for you to say these things. Gu Zhenhai looked at her with half-squinted eyes, his eyes disdainful.

"Do you really think I'm like those people?" Isn't it a little different? Was his previous kindness to her just to encourage her to fight for the Three Jewels and finally dedicate it to him, and he never wanted to help her from beginning to end?

She didn't know why she was still struggling with this problem, Gu Zhenhai was not her father at all, not even an "adoptive father", but she would feel uncomfortable because of his words.

Maybe she just wants to know why Gu Zhenhai is so good at acting! was able to hide from her eyes, she should just be unconvinced in her heart!

"Originally, the old man thought you were different, you were very innocent and obedient, but now it seems that you are no different from those people!" Gu Zhenhai glanced at Gu Wanwan lightly, and there was obvious disappointment in his words.

"Just because I won't let you destroy the treasure, you think I'm disobedient, don't you?" She already knew the answer, but she still couldn't help but want to ask.

"Yes!" Gu Zhenhai blurted out.

Not surprisingly, she heard the expected answer, Gu Wanwan lowered her head, didn't speak for a long time, and when she raised her head, she said something that shocked the audience: "Then if I give you all these treasures, can you reconsider it?" ”

Including Gu Zhenhai, when they heard this, their eyes widened in astonishment, and the incredulity in their eyes was very clear.

Sitting in the window facing west, I watched the sunset sink into the mountains little by little, and the light around me dimmed little by little. Time flies so fast, as if it's passing through your fingers, so fast that you don't give people a chance to hold it. But it's so slow, so slow that you can count even the sound of your heartbeat.

The night was dark, and the room was completely dark, but there was no light. Ling'er, who had been standing at the door and had not dared to squeak, finally walked into the house, and after holding the lamp, she walked towards Gu Wanwan.

"Princess, it's getting dark, and it's time for supper. If you want something to eat, Ling'er will go and tell the kitchen to make it. Ling'er asked softly beside Gu Wanwan, her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing her.

But Gu Wanwan didn't give her an answer for a long time, and she couldn't help but worry in her heart: Did the princess really hear her question?

Just when she was about to ask again, Gu Wanwan spoke up: "No need, I'm a little tired and want to rest, you go down first!" ”

"Rest?" Ling'er looked at Bai Wutong, who had not yet left, and seemed surprised, Bai Gongzi hadn't left yet, and the princess was about to rest?

It was also at this time that Gu Wanwan found out that Bai Wutong was still in her room, and she didn't say anything for a long time, she thought he was gone!

"You go down first!" Gu Wanwan said another word to Ling'er.

Ling'er retreated, but when she walked to the door, she couldn't help but glance back at the house, the princess left Bai Gongzi to say something to him! But what do you want to say? Why didn't you say it all afternoon, but waited until it was dark?

Ling'er twisted the silk in her hands with both hands, and her heart was also a mess.

The collision between Gu Wanwan and Gu Zhenhai happened this afternoon, but it was a very short incident, but now it is known to everyone in the house. It's just that everyone knows, but no one dares to say more, including her.

She still clearly remembered how heavy Gu Wanwan's face was when she came back, like this boundless night, without any starlight embellishment.

Bai Wutong's face was also so ugly, and from him, Ling'er felt the breath of extreme cold for the first time. He didn't speak, just sat in the room, as if waiting for Gu Wanwan to speak, but Gu Wanwan seemed to have forgotten his existence, his eyes kept looking out the window, looking at the sunset, and treating him as nothing.

After Ling'er left, there were only two people left in the room, but the air was silent again, and it was the quiet atmosphere where no one would make a sound, and they were deadlocked to death.

"Do you blame me in your heart?" Gu Wanwan asked.
