After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

The voice spoke to itself for a long time, and only stopped after carefully evaluating Gu Qingze from all aspects.

Gu Qingze: “….”

Although Gu Qingze was very curious as to why the other party could see him so clearly even though there was a curtain between them as well, as if it was a "one-way mirror".

However, he did not spend too much time on this insignificant matter, as he knew that there were more important things to deal with at the moment.

Gu Qingze opened his mouth slightly, considered for a while, and then asked the other party carefully.

"are you alone?"

"Ah?" The other party was stunned at first, and then after he reacted, he let out a chuckle as clear as a silver bell.

"Why do you ask that?"

"Just...personal feeling?"

Gu Qingze felt puzzled when he heard her laughter, but he still answered seriously.

"Hey, little sister, don't try to impose your ideas on other monsters."

"Are you the kind of person who is so moved by your own fantasies that you think you are helping other monsters, but in fact you are just being self-moved?"

There was a hint of mockery in the other person's voice, mixed with an indescribable sense of inquiry.

Gu Qingze lowered his eyes and said no more.

He had originally hoped to obtain information in a more gentle manner and did not want to cause the chief courtesan to suffer too much pain.

But since the attempt had been fruitless and the chief courtesan obviously didn't appreciate it, there was really no need for him to waste any more words.

So, when he raised his eyes again, his gaze instantly became extremely firm, and he quickly recited the secret code that Ling Xiao had provided, which was "full of the second-year high index".

"The lock of oblivion is broken today, sleeping memories, return quickly!"

Unexpectedly, after reading it, the scene that Gu Qingze had expected did not appear.

"Pfft."

When the other party heard the secret words, he couldn't help laughing out loud without any scruples.

Gu Qingze frowned slightly when he heard the other party's laughter. If he still didn't notice anything wrong at this point, then he would really be a stupid idiot.

Just at this moment, a gentle breeze inexplicably blew into the closed room, quietly lifting the curtains separating the two.

It was at this moment that Gu Qingze finally saw the other person's face clearly.

The scene before him made Gu Qingze’s eyes widen instantly, and he looked at the monster opposite him in disbelief.

The person opposite him was actually a man, not the woman he had imagined!

The man had long white hair and an extremely handsome face. His delicate facial features looked as if they were carefully carved, and there was a faint, ambiguous smile on the corner of his mouth.

Not only that, when Gu Qingze looked at that face, he always felt extremely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"Why, are you disappointed to see it's me?"

There was a hint of nonchalant teasing in his voice.

Gu Qingze came back to his senses and frowned even more tightly. He suddenly realized that he might have fallen into a carefully designed trap.

After hearing this, he did not respond to the other party, but a trace of hard-to-conceal vigilance flashed in his eyes.

You must not panic at this time, in case the other party does not know much and is just trying to test you deliberately.

If this is the case, his panic at this moment will only put him in an unfavorable situation.

He also remembered who the monster in front of him was.

It was Yi Chen, the owner of the brothel, whom he met when he disguised himself as a strange woman and asked his brother Jinnian to introduce him to the brothel.

I originally thought that we were just a chance encounter and that we would never meet again, but I never thought...

So that's how it is....Then the inexplicable change in the madam's attitude towards him, the inexplicable pauses when she spoke, and the inexplicable words she said to him all make sense...

Because the madam was not facing the chief courtesan, who in her opinion was "a slightly more noble object", but her boss, she appeared to be extremely respectful.

Yi Chen did not show much concern about his cold attitude. He smiled lightly, completely peeled off the curtain separating them, stood up and walked straight towards Gu Qingze without hesitation.

Gu Qingze subconsciously wanted to retreat, but then he remembered their efforts over the past few days, so he decided to stay put and wait and see. If things really don't work out, he still has the Dream Pearl, and he can hide in the dream space at any time.

Yi Chen looked at Gu Qingze who was looking straight at him, the smile on his face became more intense. He lifted Gu Qingze's chin with his slender fingers, looked at the face he had transformed with the Beauty Pill, and spoke softly.

"What? You're not going to continue saying that ridiculous secret code of yours? Gu-Qing-Ze-? Are you shy?"

Gu Qingze's heart sank suddenly. Even his real name was known... It seemed that Yi Chen knew much more than he expected.

It was a foregone conclusion that he had been tricked, but he immediately calmed down. This was definitely not the time to be angry. He should first find out Yi Chen's true intentions and then make other plans.

Thinking of this, when he looked at Yi Chen, he did not show the panic of being discovered, but asked calmly.

"Since Master Yida even knows this, it seems that he deliberately lured me here. What is his purpose?"

Yi Chen looked at him who remained calm and composed in such a situation, and there was a bit more admiration in his eyes unconsciously. He took a step back, crossed his arms, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile.

"It's not cute to be so fierce, but no matter what a beauty does, it's beautiful, so I can indulge her willfulness a little."

"I admit that I did deliberately lead you here, but I didn't have any clear purpose."

Yi Chen lightly touched his graceful chin with his knuckles, seemingly thinking casually, and then the corners of his mouth curved up.

"If I have to give a purpose, it's that it's fun to do this."

"Interesting?" Gu Qingze repeated in disbelief, and then suddenly realized that he might have been fooled for the second time.

"Yeah, it's just fun."

"Don't you think it's funny to see you trying so hard to pretend to be a woman and being so cautious over the past month in order not to arouse suspicion? Even your friends keep changing their identities and giving money to my brothel in various ways?"

Yi Chen seemed to find it more and more interesting the more he talked. He opened the exquisite folding fan in his hand, used the fan to cover half of his face, and laughed wildly without any scruples.

Gu Qingze did not pay attention to his words which were meant to make him angry, but keenly captured the key information in them.

"So... you already knew from the first day I entered the brothel..."

He didn't say any more. He currently had no idea how much Yi Chen knew, and it would be unwise for him to reveal the information on his own initiative.

"My little beauty, there's no need to be so alert. After all... you are basically transparent to me now."

Yi Chen raised his eyebrows, as if in a provocation, slightly opened his lips and slowly uttered a few words.

"Sanshenghua..."

"Didn't you come to me to find more information about it?"

After hearing the word "San Sheng Hua", Gu Qingze's eyes flickered slightly, and an imperceptible crack appeared on the calmness on his face, and his breathing also quickened at that moment.

But soon, he suppressed his inner turmoil and returned to normal.

How did Yi Chen know that he was looking for the "Sanshenghua"? He hadn't even told his brother Jinnian and Su Han...!

Gu Qingze pretended to look at him with confusion, spread his hands and said.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

"Heh." Yi Chen looked at him pretending to be stupid, pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, and chuckled. There was a bit of helplessness and teasing in his laughter. "Don't you know? It seems that you don't want the information anymore?"

Gu Qingze also smiled and said, "Although I don't know what the Sanshenghua you are talking about is, I have a curious heart and I can listen to it."

"Since you're so reluctant, I won't say anything."

Yi Chen's narrow eyes were filled with teasing, and the look he gave him seemed to have a hook. Then he slowly approached Gu Qingze and patted his shoulder lightly.

The moment Gu Qingze was photographed by him, his whole body seemed to be frozen by frost, and he froze all over, but he still tried hard to remain calm and not let his inner panic show.

"Why, are you afraid that I will eat you?"

Yi Chen's tone was brisk, with a hint of teasing, and he smiled gently.

Gu Qingze ignored his teasing, just thought silently for a while, and finally decided to stop pretending.

After all, he had been discovered by Yi Chen. He knew very well that no matter whether he could obtain the information about "San Sheng Hua" or not, if Yi Chen wanted to harm him, the outcome would probably be the same whether he pretended or not.

"It's just a joke, don't be so nervous."

Yi Chen looked at Gu Qingze in silence, and a barely perceptible light suddenly flashed in his eyes, which was like a meteor in the dark night, fleeting.

Gu Qingze took a deep breath and tried to relax himself. "I won't force it. Can you tell me the information you know about Sanshenghua?"

"That's good." Yi Chen heard it and gave him a meaningful look, as if he could see through everything. "Sometimes, I can only satisfy you if you express your desires honestly."

Is this considered expressing your desire?

Gu Qingze was full of doubts, but he did not refute or argue. He just looked at him quietly.

Yi Chen ignored his gaze on him, leisurely sat back in his chair, crossed his legs, his posture elegant yet a bit lazy, and spoke slowly.

"The Sansheng Flower is said to be a mysterious flower that will only appear randomly in a certain place. It is extremely precious and has magical powers that can fulfill the wishes of the recipient..."

Gu Qingze listened to Yi Chen's story and was secretly puzzled. The version Yi Chen told was slightly different from what he had heard before, but the difference was not big, so he did not ask any further questions at this time.

"Although it was completely random, the intelligence I got showed that it appeared in the demon world Xuanyin this time. Oh, that is, the place where the demon world and the devil world meet as you know."

When Gu Qingze heard this, he was instantly filled with deep surprise, as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping his heart, causing his breathing to stagnate.

Yi Chen knew that he wanted to obtain the "Three Lives Flower", which already made him feel incredible. He did not expect that he even knew such specific details... Why on earth was this?

Yi Chen stopped talking here, took out a sparkling object from his sleeve and threw it to him.

"Take it with you, you may need it."

"What is this?" Gu Qingze asked curiously after taking the thing he threw, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Well... you can use it as an aid in the process of obtaining the 'Three Lives Flower'. When the time is right, it will naturally come in handy."

Yi Chen waved his fan casually and thought for a moment before speaking, but his words seemed to be made up on the spot.

Gu Qingze clenched the mysterious object in his hand and stared at Yi Chen, as if trying to find out more information from his expression.

However, Yi Chen just smiled and said no more.

"Since you told me all this and gave me this, there must be other conditions or requirements, right?"

Gu Qingze broke the silence, his voice was steady and calm, like the water in a deep pool, without ripples.

Yi Chen chuckled, "My little beauty, your vision is still small. I don't have any conditions or requirements for you."

Gu Qingze narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering the truth of these words in his mind, but for now, he could only accept this object of unknown purpose and make plans later.

"Then thank you Yilou..." Gu Qingze was about to express his gratitude when he heard Yi Chen add another sentence.

"If we must talk about it.....what I seek is all for the word 'fun'."

"'interest'.....?"

Gu Qingze looked at him with even more doubtful eyes, which were full of confusion and puzzlement.

"Yes, all living things are just living, without any meaning or value. If we find some fun in the process of living, life will not seem so boring."

Yi Chen showed a faint smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and then he said something that did not match his gentle expression.

"And you... are my new found joy."

Gu Qingze's expression froze, as if he had heard the word for the first time and couldn't understand its meaning, so he repeated it.

"New fun?"

"Yes, you are now like a little pet that I let grow freely. Your every move can always bring me fun."

Yi Chen glanced at him with a look of contempt and superiority, as if the person in front of him was just an "object" in his eyes, and the greatest value of that "object" was that it could bring him fresh fun.

He didn't care at all about Gu Qingze's opinion, or whether he got extremely angry after hearing his words, or just started cursing at him, or anything else.

Because in his eyes there is no difference, just like ordinary people don’t care about the inner thoughts of a “little ant”.
