Gu Yue knew that he had countless flaws from the very beginning.

Gu Xu had many doubts and tests, and he couldn't be blamed for being too vigilant. On the contrary, Gu Yue felt that this was the quality that a male protagonist should have.

The changes in "Gu Dashi" are so obvious.

...He would not completely break down and confess everything just because of the true feelings just revealed!

"As for me..." Gu Yue put his hand on his head.

The child's hair was not yet grown up, and was simply tied up neatly. It became loose when Gu Yue rubbed it.

"I'm Gu Dashi! Why do you ask such a question?" Gu Yue smiled, but his smile was a little weak.

"Forget it." Gu Xu's face turned cold, he took his hand away and tied his hair again.

"I won't hurt you." Gu Yue propped his elbows on his knees and leaned over to look at his expression. "I will treat you well."

"Why?" Gu Xu asked vaguely while holding the end of the hairpin in his mouth.

"Because you... are my family." Gu Yue replied.

"Isn't it Shi San too?" Gu Xu glanced at him.

The hairpin is circled, half-retracted, locked and inserted, and flexibly tied into a bun.

"It's a little different." Gu Yue said.

Shi San glanced over here and walked away.

Gu Xu wanted to ask how it was different, but stopped talking.

Why is he asking this?

Useless question.

"Okay." Gu Xu ended the topic, "You don't have to doubt Li Taohua."

"Huh? Why?" Gu Yue was confused.

"Because he is one of us." said Gu Xu.

"What?!" Gu Yue was shocked.

He suddenly remembered the day when he brought Gu Xu to Liuli Town and met Li Taohua.

At that time, Gu Xu said... "This Taohua Pavilion owner and I had some communication, and he was the one who told me that you wanted to sell me to a brothel."

Yes! How could he forget?

But it was not right. He did not think about it carefully at that time. Did Gu Xu and Li Taohua also know each other in the original text?

Then why was Gu Xu sold to a brothel by Gu Dashi? Was that Gu Xu's strategy?

Gu Xu saw that he was lost in thought again and stood up.

"Are you really sure that he is one of us?" Gu Yue couldn't help but speculate on the conspiracy theory.

Gu Xu reached out and pulled him up. Gu Yue brushed off the dust on his pants and looked around.

The overwhelming sense of being watched had dissipated when he first began to doubt. Perhaps he was under too much pressure and too nervous, so he had some kind of hallucination.

On the surface, nothing seemed unusual, but the matter of Yuning Mansion still put a lot of pressure on him. Without any back-up plan, after Gu Xu was exposed, his only fate was to be killed so that he could fully control Gu Xu.

Gu Yue could feel the knife hanging clearly above his head.

The pressure is too great.

Gu Yue touched his forehead.

Anyway...

"Yeah." Gu Xu responded.

"One hundred percent? No doubt at all?" Gu Yue pressed. He really couldn't ignore the disharmony and weirdness everywhere. It all deviated too much from the original plot.

"...Yes, sure. Do you need more help? If they are recommended by Li Taohua, you can use them with confidence." Gu Xu asked back.

Gu Yue...of course he trusts Gu Xu unconditionally!

"Wait a minute, I need to stroke it again." Gu Yue raised his hand.

"What do you want to stroke? It's almost dusk, let's go back." Gu Xu stretched out a hand.

Gu Yue placed his raised palm on Gu Xu's. He felt a strange sensation when holding that hand, as if his chest was filled with something, sore and swollen, overflowing.

"When did you and Li Taohua meet?" Gu Yue asked as the two of them walked towards home.

"Three days before I planned to kill you." Gu Xu replied.

"Then why are you so sure that he is one of us? Do you have any evidence?" Gu Yue was very confused.

"He is in cahoots with those people from the martial arts gym." Gu Xu replied, "That's why they came to me."

So he is from Wumen?!

The logic seems to have formed a closed loop. Regardless of whether Li Taohua in the original text informed the prince or knew nothing about it, at least now, Li Taohua seems to be the introducer between Gu Xu and Wumen.

But why was Li Taohua able to discover Gu Xu's unusualness in this world line? Was it because of the young man who looked very much like Gu Xu, or because he already had some clues?

This plays a crucial role in Gu Yue's judgment of Li Taohua's true camp.

"What is your identity that makes them think so highly of you?" Gu Yue asked, "I don't think Afeng and the others are allies with you, but more like superiors and subordinates."

Gu Xu hesitated for a moment.

Gu Yue's performance today made him feel satisfied. Although he was not completely honest, it made Gu Xu willing to reveal some insignificant things to him.

"They are indeed my subordinates. It is said that they are from a certain organization left by my parents and are my men." Gu Xu smiled, "Wu Men."

Gu Yue was so happy that he couldn't even express it in words.

The male protagonist was honest with him!

Progress of the century!

"Afeng and the others are not called Afeng, but have the surname Wu. The entire martial arts hall is their property." said Gu Xu.

"I understand." Gu Yue couldn't hide his smile at all, and it was all on his face. "Can you completely control them?"

"No." Gu Xu said.

This is the truth.

Wumen is a huge organization. Gu Xu has no strong support behind him, so he does not have full control over the people of Wumen.

But with Fengyun, Yanhuo and the four others and the several teams they lead behind them, it is enough for now.

"However, we can completely trust the people around us." Gu Xu squeezed Gu Yue's hand. He saw that Gu Yue's face became serious again.

"What is their purpose? You..." Gu Yue got stuck halfway through his question. Will Gu Xu tell him?

"What are your plans? What are you going to do?" Gu Yue still asked.

"I can't say yet." Gu Xu smiled.

"Okay, I know." Gu Yue nodded.

He didn't have such a strong obsession that he had to know everything now, because he himself was hiding something.

Maybe it’s a good thing that Gu Xu didn’t say anything.

Ah! I’m off topic again.

The most urgent task is... Li Taohua? It doesn't matter. No matter whose spy he is, he can't find any evidence against their family for the time being, and can't do anything.

Let’s think about making money.

Gu Yue opened the door of his house and entered the yard, and Shi San followed him in.

There were piles of chicken feathers in the yard. Gu Yue contacted someone to collect them every ten days, and he could earn 200 copper coins. In the cage on one side were some lively little roosters, all of which were castrated.

The pepper vine was planted in the corner of the yard. Gu Yue made a fertilizer can according to his memories of the present life and buried it in the soil. Some leftovers from killing chickens were dissolved in it. The pepper vines grew seed-bearing vines and looked green.

At this rate, it should be able to produce seeds soon.

Gu Yue was a little absent-minded.

He didn't notice that he had been standing next to the pepper rack in a daze for a long time until Gu Xu came over and called him.

"what happened?"

"Let's go to Tongshan." Gu Yue said.
