He really wanted to hear a few serious words from the mouth of this Gu, but it seemed that this was too much to ask for.

No one expected that Gu Yun would pose a serious question afterward: "Do you know what to do if you have nightmares?"

Chang Geng hesitated, once again easily believing him, he shook his head curiously, waiting expectantly for Gu Yun's answer.

Gu Yun went on: "The reason why you have a nightmare is because there are little demons strolling in the house to play tricks on you. These little demons are all afraid of filth, so from now on whenever you have nightmares, remember to put the pot at the entry of your chamber, I guarantee it will scare those things running."

Chang Geng: "..."

Chang Geng was particularly quick to believe other people's made up fibs seriously, Gu Yun immediately found enjoyment in teasing and messing with the boy, laughing energetically in the middle of the night.

Chang Geng once naively believed that his little yifu was visiting him out of concern. He now knew that this man was purely coming over to make fun of him for his own entertainment!

He turned over angrily with his back facing Gu Yun, and the two large words "Get out" were written clearly on it.

Gu Yun did not leave right away; he stayed until Chang Geng's breathing gradually became steady again, gently covered him with the blanket, then got up to leave.

Before leaving, Gu Yun went to grab the shoulder guards he took off just now. But just as he reached out, he remembered there were sayings that the reason children got disturbed in the middle of the night was due to the weakening and lacking of yang energy, thus attracting unclean spirits. It was better to place an object made of iron at the head of the bed.

Gu Yun had never believed in such nonsense superstitions from the common folk, but at this time he suddenly felt that perhaps there was some truth to them, or else how could it have been circulating for so many years?

He decided to leave the pair of iron shoulder guards where they were and walked away from Chang Geng's bedroom in just his attire.

Marshal Gu might have been the natural nemesis of ghostly and evil spirits. Chang Geng was not at all bothered by these demons and slept soundly until morning.

It was a pity that after Chang Geng woke up, his facial expression was even worse than if he didn't sleep.

He sat on the bed for a moment, his face green, and when he lifted the blanket to take a quick glance underneath, he could not help but let out a deep sigh, the sound somewhat resembling a sob. Chang Geng rolled over and hugged his head.

This was the second time.

Chang Geng could no longer deceive himself. Because this time his dream was clear and true...
