I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Let’s not talk about the few people returning to the Shenyin Sect for now.

When those monks returned here and saw that the other monks were not there, they also flew back. However, they did not go into the Medicine Valley, but waited for orders in a nearby market town.

It is said that those demons transformed themselves into traveling merchants, chatting and laughing all the way, just like ordinary mortals, and went straight to the next town. They wanted to buy some goods and give a few instructions to those monks before they could go to the Medicine Valley from the mountain road.

After hearing what Xu Guizhi said, Gu Lan realized Tianmo Guqi's intention, but he was not very scared.

At least she felt that Tianmo Guqi would not touch her for the time being. Besides, she had told him that she knew why he was born. If Tianmo Guqi did not get the answer, how could he kill her?

If the demon Gu Qi didn't kill her, her chances of escaping or being rescued would be greater. Gu Lan felt that so many great people in the world of cultivation would not stand by and watch their disciples being injured like this. They must be thinking of countermeasures.

Thinking of this, I felt at peace in my heart, and comforted myself to do the things at hand first, and then make other plans.

So Gu Lan still pulled the cart on the mountain road with his head lowered.

But she was really tired, so tired that her donkey hooves were trembling, and she cursed the demon Gu Qi countless times in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Tianmo Guqi was not far away, picking herbs with Daisy and others. As if he had a telepathic connection, he glanced at Gu Lan who was pulling the cart. Gu Lan called out to him, as if trying to please him.

Tianmo Guqi smiled, seeing that Gu Lan was working hard and was in a good mood. He sent a message to her: I can remove the curse for you in the evening, but you must not appear in front of everyone, remember this.

Gu Lan was so happy that his legs stopped shaking from pulling the cart. He felt stronger and ran more briskly.

The donkey driver saw that the little grey donkey just glanced at Gu Qi and then it became as light as a swallow, extremely excited, and its steps became much lighter. He couldn't help but admire it.

It is amazing that a man is so handsome that he can even confuse animals.

He just smiled at the donkey, and the donkey ran away very fast!

Great!

The donkey driver also wanted to try it, so he grinned at the donkey.

But Gu Lan was just feeling happy when suddenly a thin, dark face with big yellow teeth appeared in front of him. He was so scared that he staggered and almost overturned the car.

The donkey driver snorted, feeling very dissatisfied. But seeing how close Chu Daisy and Gu Qi were, and then looking at himself, a lonely man with only a donkey, he felt lost and lost all his energy in driving the donkey. He followed Gu Lan dejectedly.

In the evening, Gu Lan finally came back.

Tianmo Guqi was sitting in the yard drinking tea.

This medicinal valley produces tea. Mountain folks often pick tea leaves in spring and make tea. Some of them are sold and some are drunk by themselves. Gu Qi has a good relationship with people here. Mountain folks often give him tea, and there are even girls who come to see him in the name of giving him tea.

Her eyes were affectionate and full of tenderness, but Tianmo Guqi ignored them all and paid no attention to them. He only paid more attention to Daisy.

Gu Lan walked into the yard with tired steps, looked at him leisurely drinking tea with a sad look, and cried out softly.

What it means is: You promised to remove the curse from me?

Tianmo Guqi knew the meaning of her cry. He looked over and raised his hand, and a black-green light hit Gu Lan.

Gu Lan's body shape changed and returned to its original state.

But before he could stand firmly, he fell to the ground, his legs and hands shaking and aching.

"Indeed, even the landlords in the old society didn't order people around like you." Gu Lan complained.

"Who were the landlords in the old society?" Tianmo Guqi caught the words in Gu Lan's words and didn't quite understand. Seeing Gu Lan sitting on the ground, he flicked his fingertips and pushed a cup of herbal tea over.

After a busy day, Gu Lan only drank the stream water. She was so thirsty that her throat was smoking. Seeing him push a cup of tea flying in the air, she leaned over to catch it and drank it in one gulp.

Not satisfied with the drink, Gu Lan got up, sat opposite Tianmo Guqi, poured another cup of tea in front of him, drank it up in one gulp, and was about to pour again, but was held down by Tianmo Guqi.

Gu Lan smiled, decided to quit while she was ahead, and put down the teacup in her hand. Tianmo Guqi had been in a much better mood in the past two days, and would occasionally talk to Gu Lan.

Seeing that he was smiling slightly, Gu Lan knew that he was in a better mood today, so she took advantage of the situation to try to get close to him and find a way to make a living.

Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry about those details. I think this is a really good place to live. Look at how beautiful the scenery is here. Chickens and dogs are walking on the small roads. The villagers are humble and polite to each other. Everyone works from sunrise to sunset. Isn't it leisurely and comfortable? I think there is no better place than this."

Seeing that she was praising this place to the sky, Tianmo Guqi looked at her sideways. He knew that she had something else in her words, so he followed up with the question, "What do you want to say?"

Seeing the fish taking the bait, Gu Lan remained calm and said, "This is what I want to say. You who live here don't look like a demon at all, except for the past few days..."

Gu Lan hesitated to speak. When he first came, he was still emotionally unstable. In the past few days, he really hadn't gone crazy again. He had become so normal that it was a little hard to get used to.

"Do you want me to live here in seclusion, not caring about worldly affairs, and leading a carefree life?"

Tianmo Guqi didn't want to beat around the bush with her, so he spoke directly.

Seeing that his words were exposed, Gu Lan admitted generously: "Yes, and isn't that what you are doing? You set up a barrier here, not only isolating the outside world, but also changing the time here.

Gu Lan had seen this for the past few days and had figured out something. Now that Tianmo Guqi had started the conversation, Gu Lan followed suit and said it out.

"Although everyone lives a normal life, no one notices the passage of time, nor does anyone realize that they will not age. Everyone seems to have forgotten the time. I don't know how you did it, but I know that you protected this place and regarded it as your spiritual paradise."

Tianmo Guqi was not surprised that Gu Lan would discover the secret here, but what surprised him was that with Gu Lan's intelligence, couldn't she imagine what the consequences would be when she exposed the secret here?

Or is she not afraid at all?

"Do you know that after you tell me the secret of this place, I will not let you live?"

Gu Lan curled her lips, "In fact, if I don't tell you, you won't let us go. I'm telling you so frankly now, just to make you think about it, how about you take everyone away? Stop asking about the affairs of the demon clan, wouldn't it be less troublesome and laborious? Besides, you are so capable, you must have the ability to move mountains and fill the sea, and move this place to another place, and live a carefree life. Then you let the two of us go, I promise that Xu Guizhi and I will not tell your secret to anyone"

"Huh, so this is your purpose." Tianmo Guqi saw through the situation and saw the real intention behind Gu Lan.

Since Gu Lan had said it, she was not afraid that Tianmo Guqi would see her intentions, and there was no need for her to hide it. Anyone with a brain would know that she wanted to run away, and Tianmo Guqi was not a fool.

He had known the little thoughts in her mind these days, and even Gu Lan could feel that he was just like Tom the cat, teasing her, Jerry the little mouse.

"You knew my intention all along, didn't you?"
