At this time, her eyes narrowed slightly, like a cunning cat.
Yun Heng's eyes darkened a bit.
"I don't want you as my apprentice."
Yun Heng still said the same thing.
But from his eyes, what she felt was another unexplainable emotion.
He wasn't saying that he didn't want her as his apprentice.
Gu Changan could feel the vague meaning of his words.
The warmth from his palm on her wrist made her feel like ants were slowly biting her arm.
It was embarrassing, in front of Yun Heng, she was so emotionally affected by his words and deeds. At that time, she felt that the warmth in Yun Heng's palm was very similar to what she felt when he wiped her face over and over again before she died.
Gu Changan took a deep breath and asked: "Since you don't want me as your apprentice, why did the Imperial Master send you fake certificates to help me last time? You have no reason to do this, right?"
And it was done, so why didn't you tell her directly?
What's there to cover up?
She couldn't help but think of Yun Heng's mercy on her.
It's a pity that she woke up too late in her previous life, and she didn't have time to ask. What was Yun Heng thinking at that time? Was it because of the friendship between master and apprentice, that he didn't want her to die, or because of something else?
How could Yun Heng's thoughts about Gu Changan be explained clearly by two words, master and disciple?
He looked into Gu Changan's eyes and asked, "If I don't want to be your master, then our eight years of getting along will be nothing?"
How could eight years of being together be erased so easily?
But Gu Changan was shocked that Yun Heng would say such a thing. He was silent for a moment and asked: "I will never forget these eight years, but if we are not master and disciple, what kind of relationship do we have?"
In the final analysis, it comes down to the word entanglement.
relation.
Gu Changan had been Yun Heng's apprentice for eight years. She couldn't think of any other possibility between the two, and she didn't dare to think of it.
"Then what do you hope for?" Yun Heng looked at Gu Changan, his eyes full of inquiry.
Gu Changan was silent for a long time. Facing Yun Heng's question, she felt like she couldn't say anything.
She really couldn't imagine what the relationship between the two was.
If we are not masters and disciples, should we be friends?
She couldn't treat Yun Heng as a friend.
In such a tangled situation, her mind was like a shooting star, and a name that had been silent for a long time emerged in her heart. It was Gu Changan's favorite nickname in the past.
But thinking about it at this juncture, she felt embarrassed and couldn't believe it.
The breeze blew outside the window, blowing away her panic. Her whole body became tense, and suddenly Yun Heng let go of her wrist.
Just as he was about to raise his hand, he seemed to have already twirled the tattered hair on the side of her face. Was he trying to lift it behind her ears?
Gu Changan was speechless. Before his mind could react, his body subconsciously stepped back, avoiding Yun Heng's hand.
She could no longer be in the same room with Yun Heng and wanted to escape frantically.
Not daring to say a word, Gu Changan blocked her face and rushed out of the box.
Yun Heng did not stop her, but said: "Don't see Su Zixuan again."
I don’t know if Gu Changan heard it or not, but the box soon became quiet.
Yun Heng glanced down at his hands, then clenched his fists, his voice seemed to be drowned in the wind, "It seems I still pushed too hard..."
But the undercurrent suppressed in his chest was already impacting the valve, and the cracks in the valve indicated that this wanton wave was about to be released.
It's really an undercurrent.
He came out of Yong'an Building, and his men were already waiting. When he saw him, he said: "All the people who assassinated Young Master Su have been executed, and the scene has been dealt with. Sir, do you have any further instructions?"
Yun Heng was not in a good mood right now, so he didn't want to hold back on what he was doing, and said: "Since King Xiao and Gu Yuan are so bold, let's go bold and hang all the corpses at the city gate."
His hand was stunned for a moment, "This..." Seeing Yun Heng's eyes, he stopped in time.
Don't say what you shouldn't say.
Su Zixuan was sent back by the people from the Imperial Preceptor's Office. He was probably a little dazed. When he saw Su Heng, he couldn't quite come to his senses.
Su Heng had already heard about the attack on Su Zixuan on Zhuque Street. Now that he saw Su Zixuan safe and sound, his heart finally calmed down.
He thanked the person who sent Su Zixuan back: "Thank you to the Imperial Preceptor's Office for coming to the rescue again this time. Our Su family will definitely remember it in our hearts."
The man didn't say anything and nodded: "You're welcome."
After sending the people from the Imperial Master's Office away, Su Heng had time to say to Su Zixuan: "Are you okay? You were frightened today. I didn't expect that Gu Yuan was so arrogant that he dared to do something on the street. You'd better not go out these days.
, just stay at home."
Su Zixuan responded with a strange expression on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking, "I understand."
He probably doesn't want to go out now.
Looking at Su Zixuan's look, Su Heng also guessed that he was tired when he was assassinated, and said: "If you are tired, go back and rest."
Su Zixuan nodded and left.
It was as if there was a veil covering his heart, and he felt a little lost, but he couldn't figure out why.
Why did he feel depressed all the time when he heard someone from the Imperial Prefect's Office say that Yun Heng went to make an appointment for him, and he couldn't understand the emotions in his heart.
This was also the first time he encountered this situation. He spent a long time alone in the side room thinking hard.
Finally, he suddenly slapped his head and said, "It must be because I let go of Chang'an pigeons, so I feel so uncomfortable!"
Moreover, even if he lets go, he still needs to trouble Yun Heng to go to the appointment and explain the reason for him.
No, when the martial arts competition is over, he has to come to Yun Heng in person to express his gratitude.
Su Zixuan convinced himself in this way.
When he thought about it, he suddenly became enlightened and stopped worrying about those things. As for the land deed in his hand, he would just wait until the martial arts competition was over to return it.
The assassination on Zhuque Street quickly caused a sensation throughout the capital.
But how did it cause such a sensation in Beijing?
The patrol camp that captured the assassins hung all the corpses at the city gate as a warning.
Now it aroused heated discussion in the whole city. The good people surrounded the city gate of the person who hung the corpse. The news was quickly spread to the Gu family.
In the Gu family's study room, after Gu Yuan heard about the city gate, he almost got angry and walked over, "Are you sure those hanging above are all our people?"
The man in black nodded, "My subordinates see it as absolutely true, and there is absolutely nothing false about it."
Gu Yuan took a breath and confirmed: "What about Su Zixuan, is he dead?"
"The Su family... there is no news of the death of the eldest young master." The man in black hesitated for a moment before he dared to answer.
Gu Yuan's eyes were dark. Before he could react, there was a knock on the door of the study room, "Oh no, Mr. Hou, His Highness Prince Xiao is here! He will be in the study room soon!"
It's true that misfortunes never come singly. Gu Yuan now feels like he's about to ascend to heaven.
