Liu Ying mistakenly thought that Chen Changli could not bear the invasion of the flute sound, and a smug smile flashed across her eyes, but it was fleeting and could not be captured.

She continued to play the flute, as if she wanted to seize this opportunity to make Chen Changli regret being arrogant in front of her.

Chen Changli's eyelids twitched as he saw her playing more and more vigorously. Then he stared at her calmly and said earnestly, "Your flute playing is not as good as Yanran's."

"Yanran?" Liu Ying's pupils shrank in shock, and then she stared at Chen Changli in disbelief.

"You know her?" Chen Changli was more surprised than her.

Liu Ying's expression darkened. "She is the saint of the Gu tribe. I have met her once, but unfortunately that was five years ago. The Gu tribe was destroyed five years ago, and she disappeared."

Holding the jade flute in her hand, Liu Ying's eyes turned red and her voice was unusually cold: "How do you know her? Have you seen her?"

"Didn't Ye Yun tell you?" Chen Changli pretended to be surprised.

Liu Ying's expression changed slightly: "What does this have to do with Ye Yun?"

Chen Changli sighed: "Where is Yanran? Ye Yun knows it very well. I thought he would tell you about Yanran, but I didn't expect you to know nothing."

Seeing his face full of sympathy, as if he was lamenting that he was deceived by Ye Yun, Liu Ying was furious: "Stop pretending here."

Taking a deep breath and then suppressing it, Liu Ying said firmly: "Yanran is the saint of the Gu tribe. When the Gu tribe is destroyed, she will be destroyed along with the Gu tribe. How can she have a chance to survive?"

Chen Changli listened to her seriously and instantly decided that no matter how he explained, she would not listen to him.

"Since you know that I am going to save my child, do you know who the Eighth Prince brought back before that?"

He asked in a very calm tone, as if this was a trivial matter and Liu Ying should know it very clearly.

Liu Ying frowned. The Eighth Prince asked Tu Zhizhi to bring back a pair of grandparents and grandchildren, but she was not interested in the identities of this pair of grandparents and grandchildren because she put all her thoughts on Chen Changli.

"The Eighth Prince asked Tu Zhizhi to bring back a pair of grandparents and grandchildren, but so what? You are the most important. I only pay attention to you and care about you, and I don't care about others."

Liu Ying didn't want Chen Changli to misunderstand Ye Yun, so she simply took all the responsibility on herself.

Chen Changli understood her thoughts after hearing this and said with a smile on his face, "So you know this. Now you can go find out their identities. I believe you will get a surprise."

A sarcastic smile flashed across Liu Ying's lips: "This is the cage I built specifically for you. Now, apart from taking out the Phoenix Gu, no matter how good your martial arts skills are or how eloquent you are, you can't get out of here."

"Including you?" Chen Changli couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this.

Liu Ying didn't want to admit it, but she was indeed imprisoned here with Chen Changli.

She bit her lip and said unhappily, "If it weren't for you, how could I have resorted to such a desperate measure?"

Chen Changli's expression remained motionless, but his eyes were cold, making him exude a deep chill, which made Liu Ying feel ashamed. "This is all because of you. If you want to blame someone, you should blame yourself."

Chen Changli closed his eyes, as if to hide the ridicule in his eyes, but when he thought of Liu Ying's ridiculous perception, he immediately opened his eyes and said coldly: "Everything I said is true. If you don't take it seriously, you will only starve to death here with me."

"Do you think I will believe it?" Liu Ying felt that he would not cry until he saw the coffin, so she took out a palm-sized gourd from her arms and poured out the poisonous insects in the gourd.

Chen Changli saw this familiar Gu worm and spoke again: "I have seen a Gu worm similar to this one on a person before, so the method you want to use has already been used on me."

Liu Ying showed sarcasm: "How is that possible? Chen Changli, we haven't seen each other for more than a year. Why do you like to lie so much?"

"That's not right. You and I haven't met very often, so it's possible that I don't know that you're a liar."

She seemed surprised when she said this. She couldn't help looking Chen Changli up and down. After a long while, she said, "The old emperor probably knows that you are a liar, so he doesn't want to use you."

"Tsk tsk, I think the old emperor is smart, otherwise, with your lying nature, he would have been fooled by you."

Liu Ying's words were full of disparaging meaning, but Chen Changli didn't care. He only frowned slightly, but his tone was still gentle: "Do you believe me? It all depends on your thoughts. I can only give you a suggestion at most."

After he finished speaking, he sat down and closed his eyes to rest, leaving Liu Ying to fiddle with the insect. She then used the sound of the flute to drive the insect towards Chen Changli.

She thought that Chen Changli would be terrified because of the presence of the poisonous insect, but she didn't expect that as soon as he closed his eyes, he would treat her as a clay puppet and did not show any unusual emotional fluctuations.

"When the poisonous insects devour your flesh and blood, causing you great pain, I don't believe you will still be as calm as you are now."

Seeing the poisonous insect crawling onto Chen Changli's body, Liu Ying stopped playing and said in an extremely cold tone.

She seemed certain that Chen Changli was just pretending and that she could use the poisonous insect to control him.

Chen Changli still had his eyes closed, as if he didn't hear what she said.

Liu Ying hated Chen Changli so much, but she believed in her own strength very much. She just held back her anger and waited patiently for Chen Changli to wail in pain.

However, after a cup of tea, a quarter of an hour, and two quarters of an hour passed, Chen Changli was just like a clay puppet, nothing happened, making her look like a clown.

"How is this possible?" Liu Ying was filled with intense surprise and instantly screamed, "This is impossible, it's fake, everything in front of me is fake."

She looked quite excited, then rushed towards Chen Changli and looked him up and down.

There was no sweat on his forehead, and no bulging veins, so it was possible that Chen Changli was not pretending to be patient; he was really fine.

"That's the King of Gu, second only to Phoenix Gu. How come you're not hurt at all?"

Liu Ying couldn't believe what she saw. She couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hands and wailed.

"You are enduring it, right? You must be forcing yourself to endure it. Chen Changli, you are really amazing! I was almost fooled by you."

Listening to her broken words, Chen Changli opened his eyes and said with rare sympathy: "Is the truth so hard for you to accept?"

"What kind of fact is this? Pah." Liu Ying spat at him unceremoniously.

Chen Changli wiped his face and said calmly: "I am the fact, and my performance at this moment is the evidence. If you can't accept it, then starve to death here with me."

Liu Ying was deeply shocked. She collapsed to the ground, her pupils dilated, and her pale face instantly turned blue. "This is fake, Chen Changli, you are a disgusting liar."
