Gu Yan watched Gu Yan’s face turn to surprise, and continued, “Moreover, as far as I know, the master seems to have handed those souls over to you.”
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Gu Yan said softly, stepping up to Gu Yan.
Thus, Gu Yan and Gu Yan’s gazes clashed completely.
Instead, Ouyang Ye picked up the teacup and intended to speak to Gu Yan, “Gu Yan, you are indeed not quite right.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan frowned, pushed Gu Yan away, looked at Ouyang Ye, and said in disbelief, “What do you mean by that?”
“The souls have been missing for a whole night. With your abilities, you should have found them quickly, but in reality,” Ouyang Ye took a sip of tea and continued, “you’ve been playing games with me, even saying that Gu Yan hid those souls. Your actions are truly enough to make me suspicious.” He then put down the teacup.
Gu Yan: “Because of this, you suspect me?”
“If you don’t want me to suspect you, then give me a reasonable explanation,” Ouyang Ye said, glancing at Gu Yan. “Let me hear if your words can convince me.”
“Hey?”
“Hey what? Speak,” Ouyang Ye said seriously, “Why haven’t you found the souls all night?”
“Just because she found them, you suspect me?” Gu Yan said despairingly.
Ouyang Ye: “I suspect her too. I don’t trust either of you.” He then glanced at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan’s heart sank, and she continued to look at Ouyang Ye with feigned calmness, saying, “Master, I am telling the truth.”
“I didn’t say you were lying,” Ouyang Ye said without looking at Gu Yan, his gaze fixed on Gu Yan’s face. “Alright, you can give me a reasonable explanation now.”
“I…”
“If you dare to conceal anything, I will kill you right now,” Ouyang Ye said coldly.
Gu Yan knew that Ouyang Ye would do as he said, so she immediately said, “This mansion is such a small place, and your subordinates don’t have such skills. I thought perhaps they were hidden outside. That’s why I went to look outside. To be honest,” she said, “I never expected this mansion to have places to hide souls.”
“Master, she is not sincere in looking,” Gu Yan said deliberately.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan immediately shot a killing gaze at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan felt nothing and calmly looked at Gu Yan with a blank expression.
Seeing this, Gu Yan glared fiercely at Gu Yan, then turned back to Ouyang Ye and said with determination, “Master, I just feel that this matter is absolutely related to Gu Yan.”
“If you talk nonsense again, I’ll rip your mouth open,” Gu Yan said intentionally.
“If you have the ability, then rip it. Even if my mouth is torn open by you, I will still speak like this,” Gu Yan said, glaring angrily at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan couldn’t be bothered to argue with Gu Yan anymore and looked at Ouyang Ye, “Master, can we go now?”
“Let’s go.” Ouyang Ye agreed and stood up.
Seeing Ouyang Ye stand up, Gu Yan quickly said, “Are you really going?”
“What else?” Ouyang Ye looked at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan: “Master, I don’t think what she said is credible.” She glanced at Gu Yan.
Normally, Gu Yan would guess that Gu Yan was backstabbing her behind her back. Who knew… Gu Yan had actually grown brave enough to speak to her directly.
Thinking about it, she could no longer tolerate it, “Not credible? Then is what you say credible?”
“You…”
“It’s the same as I said before, those souls were under your guard, and now they are lost, so it should be you who looks for them. I am helping you now, and you are unhappy,” Gu Yan interrupted, her eyes cold. “Fine, since that’s the case, I will stop then.” She then lowered her head.
Ouyang Ye asked doubtfully, “Gu Yan, what do you mean by that?”
Gu Yan intentionally threw a small tantrum, “Master, some demon souls say that I am deceiving you. Since that’s the case,” she slowly raised her eyes to look at Ouyang Ye, “I will not interfere in your affairs. Anyway, you don’t trust me, and anything I say will only be seen as a clown’s act in your eyes.”
“Gu Yan…”
“Master, I was too foolish. The day you chose Gu Yan, I should have given up on returning to your side. I’m sorry,” Gu Yan said, “for causing you trouble.”
“Gu Yan, don’t talk nonsense,” Ouyang Ye said helplessly.
Gu Yan: “Master, I am saying these words very seriously. You know,” her voice choked, “I hate being untrusted the most. I don’t care if you don’t trust me because you are my master. But now you are joining her in not trusting me, and I cannot accept that.”
“…” Ouyang Ye heard sincerity in Gu Yan’s words and sighed lightly. He shifted his gaze to Gu Yan, “This task was given to her by me, and everything she says is the truth. I know this better than you do.”
“You…”
“Since you don’t believe her, then I will allow you to come with us.”
“What?” Gu Yan was shocked, looked at Gu Yan, then at Ouyang Ye, and said earnestly, “Perhaps everything was designed by her in advance, perhaps it’s a trap.”
“Master, let’s forget it,” Gu Yan said intentionally, trying to sound dispirited.
On the contrary, Ouyang Ye didn’t even look at Gu Yan and directly shot his gaze at Gu Yan’s face, “I trust her. If you talk nonsense again, don’t blame me for being impolite to you.” His attitude turned cold.
Gu Yan saw that Ouyang Ye was not joking and became scared.
Gu Yan glanced at Gu Yan and said, “Master, you trust me.” She feigned surprise.
This time, Ouyang Ye shifted his gaze to Gu Yan’s face and said seriously, “If I didn’t trust you, I naturally wouldn’t have split the task with you. This time, as long as you haven’t lied to me, I will let you return to your former position.”
“Really?”
“When have I ever gone back on my word?” Ouyang Ye said faintly.
Gu Yan shook her head slightly.
“Since you know what kind of person I am, then go, and don’t disappoint me.”
“Yes, Master.” Gu Yan feigned happiness, deliberately glanced at Gu Yan, and turned to leave first.
Gu Yan lowered her head, daring not to say a word.
Then, Ouyang Ye walked around the table and chairs, came to Gu Yan, and said, “I said, when you follow me, you must listen to me wholeheartedly. But you, time and again, have cast aside the tasks I gave you. This is your consequence.” After speaking, he put his hands behind his back and walked away.
Gu Yan thought Ouyang Ye knew nothing, and she even felt that her little tricks behind his back would not be discovered by him.
Who knew, she was too naive. xxs壹贰
Sighing lightly, she turned and followed Ouyang Ye’s footsteps.
At the same time, the moment Ouyang Ye followed Gu Yan into the garden, he returned to the appearance of a coachman.
Gu Yan followed behind Ouyang Ye, deeply feeling Ouyang Ye’s terror.
