As for how Gu Linglong got entangled when Rong Yuan was in Tai'an City, Gu Lingzhi naturally knew a thing or two. I wanted to ignore them and leave directly, but seeing Rong Yuan's anxious look, my heart suddenly moved, and I felt that this might be a good opportunity.

The face under the mask showed a sly smile, but his voice carried a faint anger: "What is the misunderstanding? I am a woman of unknown origin, maybe it is really a spy sent by some country, does the third prince really have no purpose in getting so close to me?"

There really is, the purpose is to marry people home.

"I ......"

"Needless to say, the third prince and the second miss of the Gu family should be old acquaintances, and I won't delay you to catch up with the old days, so I'll go back to the inn first." ”

After saying this, Gu Lingzhi wanted to leave. Rong Yuan gave him an annoyed look while trying to keep up: "I think the most important thing for the third prince now is to pick all the peach blossoms on his body." Lest another woman suddenly appear one day and choreograph me. ”

Dropping this sentence, Gu Lingzhi quickly left the martial arts arena as if he was angry. Leaving Rong Yuan there with an imperceptible smirk on his face.

What did Lingzhi mean by what he said just now? There seemed to be a faint sour smell in the air. Could it be ...... Is this vinegar? Can he understand it...... Gu Lingzhi already started to care about him?

Because of this idea, Rong Yuan didn't let the expedition catch up with him for the first time. Instead, he looked straight and turned to Gu Linglong. Narrowed his eyes slightly. Lingzhi is right, if you want to pursue her without hindrance, you must first pick the peach blossoms on your body.

Rong Yuan was trying to pick peach blossoms on this side, but Gu Lingzhi on the other side did not return to the inn after leaving the City of the Brave. Instead, he went out of the city, burrowed into the inheritance space in a no-man's land, quickly changed the clothes on his body, took off the mask that he had been wearing for nearly two months, and restored Gu Lingzhi's identity. This is what comes out of the inheritance space. Unhurried, return to the capital.

After paying the entrance fee, Gu Lingzhi slowly walked to the Gu family's residence in the capital.

As one of the four major families, the Gu family naturally has its own industry in the capital. But Gu Lingzhi never went once.

Coming to the trading house with the Gu family's plaque, Gu Lingzhi identified himself and sat in the hall waiting for Gu Rong and them to come back.

Before Gu Rong and the others came back, they ran into Lin Yue'e first. Seeing Gu Lingzhi, Lin Yue's eyes obviously flashed a trace of emptiness, and then stepped forward with a loving smile and said, "Lingzhi, you can be regarded as back." I heard that you lost news since you left Wunian City, and I was still worried about your safety, so you appeared. Something hasn't happened after disappearing for so long?"

Looking at the fake smile on Lin Yue's face, Gu Lingzhi was bored for a while, but he still had to follow the play, with an apologetic look on his face: "It's Lingzhi who is not good, which makes my mother worried." I accidentally encountered a group of robbers on the road and was injured. This delayed the journey, and I hope my mother will not blame. ”

"Ah, are you injured?" Hearing this, Lin Yue'e made a surprised appearance and took Gu Lingzhi's hand with a distressed expression.

"Where's the injury? You kid too, how good it is to go back to Tai'an City, you have to be so anxious to improve your strength and suffer, right?"

But there was some confusion in my heart, thinking that Gu Lingzhi was still alive now, was saved by the mysterious person behind her, right? Looking at Gu Lingzhi's attitude towards her, the people she sent out should not be exposed......

At the same time, Gu Rong and Gu Linglong also happened to come back from the City of the Brave. Both of them did not look very good.

Seeing Gu Lingzhi sitting in the hall, Gu Linglong couldn't help but vent to her when she was angry with Rong Yuan.

"Yo, who am I? Didn't you say that you went back to the capital early to improve your strength? Why have we all been in the capital for a few days before we saw you? Sister, where did you go to improve your strength? Could it be...... I just didn't want to go home, so I said that on purpose, right?"

After speaking, a pair of eyes looked at her sneeringly. His eyes were still a little red, and he thought he had cried not long ago.

After listening to Gu Linglong's words, Gu Rong's face became even more ugly, and he turned to Gu Lingzhi for a moment of questioning: "Lingzhi, I thought you were more sensible, so you would believe what you said, and I thought that you really came back to improve your strength." But I've been in the capital for a few days, but I haven't heard any news of you, so where have you been during this time?"

"Daddy. Gu Lingzhi took a deep breath and let himself look aggrieved.

"I didn't lie to you. ”

"Didn't lie to Daddy?" Gu Linglong snorted coldly: "I didn't lie to you, why did you only appear now?" Don't tell me that you are going to do a mercenary mission." We can go to the Mercenary Alliance to check, you don't ...... at all"

"Linglong!" Lin Yue'e saw that Gu Linglong was unrelenting, so she had to stop her. Lest Gu Lingzhi tell Gu Rong the reason why he couldn't return to the capital later, he would be disgusted with Gu Linglong's attitude.

"There's a reason your sister is showing up now. ”

"What is the reason?" Gu Linglong sneered: "Could it be that there are still people who don't allow her to come?"

Seeing this, Lin Yue'e sighed deliberately, with a distressed face: "Your sister was injured when she encountered a robber on her way to the capital, so she delayed coming back for so long." ”

"Did you meet a robber?" Hearing this, Gu Rongcai looked at Gu Lingzhi carefully, frowned and asked, "Are you injured?"

Hearing this, Gu Lingzhi lowered his head, tried his best to look weak, and said softly: "Thank you Daddy for your concern, it's out of the way." ”

"Heh, I think my sister is in good shape, there is no sign of injury at all, it shouldn't be an excuse for fear that my father will know that you lied to him. ”

At this moment, Gu Lingzhi wanted to be grateful to the person who attacked her that night, so that she could have enough excuses to block Gu Linglong's mouth.

With an aggrieved look, Gu Lingzhi opened his calf like that, revealing a wound that had not yet fully healed and sent it to Lin Yue.

"Mother, this wound almost cut off my calf. It took a full month to raise it. There are also a few wounds of various sizes on your body, do you want to take a look at them together?"

Gu Linglong, who originally thought that Gu Lingzhi was making excuses, had to keep her mouth shut after seeing the hideous scar on Gu Lingzhi's calf.

Gu Rong also saw the scar, thinking that what Gu Lingzhi said was true, his face softened slightly, and he went back to the room after appeasing Gu Lingzhi. The anger he received from Rong Yuan before made him have no mind to care about anything else.

Waiting for Gu Rong to leave, Gu Linglong no longer had any worries, looked at Gu Lingzhi's calves that had been covered by the long skirt, and smiled: "After slashing such a heavy sword, you can't cut off your calf, you are really fateful." ”
