Luck

In her previous life, Gu Yunzhen, who was originally an outsider, was most likely involved in the jealousy between two men. In the chaos, the Moon Pavilion collapsed and Gu Yunzhen fell into the flowerbed. Half of her face was scratched by countless spikes and was covered in scars.

And not only was Gu Yunrong safe and sound, but she had also received an imperial decree to marry Kang Wang.

Gu Yanfei sighed silently and thought to herself, ‘Gu Yunrong is indeed a lucky girl!’

In her previous life, she had lived a muddled life. She was angry at fate for being unfair to her and did not understand why everyone favored Gu Yunrong.

After cultivating in the Bright Spirit Realm for 200 years, Gu Yanfei gradually comprehended some laws about the various small worlds. For example, every small world had a “Destiny’s Child”.

Gu Yunrong was the person the heavens of this small world favored the most. She had gathered the greatest amount of providence.

To put it nicely, Gu Yunrong was a lucky koi. Every problem of hers could be resolved with the help of a noble.

To put it bluntly, when she was in danger, someone always took the fall for her.

Gu Yanfei turned to look at Gu Yunzhen and held her hand. Gu Yunzhen thought that Gu Yanfei was uneasy and held her hand comfortingly.

In her previous life, Gu Yunzhen had shielded Gu Yunrong from disaster.

In this life, the person who shielded Gu Yunrong from disaster became Fang Mingfeng.

Gu Yanfei’s pupils dilated. At this moment, she felt enlightened and a strange feeling surrounded her.

It was as if a voice in the dark was telling her that her guess was right.

A bright smile appeared on Gu Yanfei’s lips and her free left hand quietly kept her purse.

Outside the small building, more and more people heard the commotion and came over, surrounding the parterre area in three layers.

Gu Yanfei shook Gu Yunzhen’s hand and smiled. “Big Sister, let’s go back.” Since her goal had been achieved, she did not intend to stay any longer.

Gu Yunzhen nodded, her heart indescribably complicated. She watched helplessly as the disheveled Gu Yunrong was forcefully pulled away by Kang Wang.

Everything had happened so quickly since the fight between the three of them. Before she could react, it had reached a point of no return.

Gu Yunzhen went downstairs with Gu Yanfei without a word. After leaving the Moonlight Tower, she turned left.

The sisters left hand in hand, completely unaware that an excited gaze was following them from the third floor of the small building.

“Young Master, could the ‘fire’ on the pavilion have something to do with Miss Gu?”

Xiao Shi spoke excitedly in a rough drake voice.

His eyes darted around. One moment, he was looking at Gu Yanfei, the next moment, he was looking at Fang Mingfeng, and the very next moment, he was craning his neck to look at the empty Moon Pavilion. The talisman ash on the roof of the pavilion had long been blown away by the wind, leaving no traces.

On the beauty couch beside him was a handsome young master in white. A strand of black hair on his forehead gently caressed the red mole at the corner of his eye as he leaned back in a lazy and relaxed posture.

“What do you think?” He casually played with the small and exquisite tea bowl between his long and beautiful fingers that were even fairer than white porcelain. A section of his wrist was revealed in his wide cuff and he looked like he was carved from flawless jade. His lines were beautiful and exquisite.

Xiao Shi rubbed his nose and recalled every detail of the “fire”. Just now, he was making tea for his master when he realized that there was smoke rising outside the window. Only then did he stick his head out to take a look…

“That smoke was very strange, young master. It came and went quickly. I looked carefully but there was only smoke, no fire.”

“Besides, I don’t smell either kerosene or anything burning.”

“Most likely… No, it must have something to do with Miss Gu!”

At the thought of everything that had happened in Danyang City, Xiao Shi said with certainty and high spirits.

Chu Yi pursed his thin lips in a half-smile and put down the tea bowl. His wide cuffs slipped off, making him look even thinner.

Xiao Shi’s intuition told him that his master seemed to know something. He leaned over and asked curiously, “Young Master, did you see something?”

“A talisman,” Chu Yi said as he touched the empty red silk pouch in his sleeve with his right hand.

“Young Master, why didn’t you call me?” The little boy widened his eyes. He felt that his master was too mean to have made him miss the most important scene.

The noisy and excited voice entered his ears. Chu Yi’s gaze passed through the window on the third floor and accurately landed on the beautiful figure who had just stepped onto the stone bridge.

Outside the building, the autumn wind blew. The wind blew away the clouds in the sky and wrinkled the surface of the Emerald Lake below. It also blew off the petals of the branches, forming a scattered rain of flowers that looked picturesque.

Gu Yanfei stopped at the entrance of the water pavilion and casually brushed off a petal on her shoulder.

She seemed to sense something, for she turned her head and glanced casually behind her. There were not many people near the water pavilion, only a dozen or so gathered in groups of two or three. Among them, only a few faces looked familiar.

“Second Sister?” Seeing Gu Yanfei stop, Gu Yunzhen looked at her in confusion.

Gu Yanfei smiled sweetly. “I’m fine. I’m just a little hungry.”

In a bamboo shed not far away, a young man pointed excitedly at Gu Yanfei, who was at the entrance of the water pavilion. With his other hand, he patted the young master in green who was taller than him and said in a trembling voice, “She’s back… Cousin, look, the beauty is back!”

The young master in green stared at Gu Yanfei. At this moment, the other people around him seemed to have become a backdrop, and his eyes were focused only on Gu Yanfei.

The young girl in her prime had bright eyes and white teeth. Her eyes were clear, and her entire body was bathed in golden sunlight. Her outline was clear, and her simple and elegant snow-green clothes made her look ethereal and otherworldly. She was like a goddess in paradise, cold and beautiful, without a trace of smoke.

His eyes lit up just by looking at her like that. She was like a pear blossom in the snow, filling the room with moonlight.

After watching the sisters enter the water pavilion, the young master in green snapped out of his daze and his eyes lit up.

When he first arrived at Prince Jing’s mansion this morning, he was stunned by the peerless beauty who was traveling with the Eldest Miss Gu. However, he was unable to talk to her at that time.

Just now, he and his cousin had searched the vicinity but could not find her. They thought that she had left.

Fortunately, the beauty was still here!

The young man in green perked up and smoothed his sleeves and robe. Then he gestured to his cousin and urged, “Let’s go!”

The cousins each picked up a red and blue tray and walked side by side into the water pavilion.

At this moment, the water pavilion was very deserted and there were only seven or eight people.

They walked towards Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen, who were sitting by the window.

Li Zhulang, who was dressed in a sky-blue robe, opened the fan in his hand and smiled at the sisters. He asked in a friendly manner, “The princess has set up a bet for today’s competition and everyone has already placed their bets. Do you two ladies want to play?”

As he spoke, his gaze naturally shifted to Gu Yanfei on the other side of the table. He couldn’t help but hold his breath, and his heart pounded like a drum. Even if he tried to hide it, he couldn’t hide the amazement on his face.
