Master Xu, who was deceived time and time again, finally learned to shut his mouth in front of Gu Yun, and deduced from this, he could understand where Yan Wang's stable and unfazed personality even when the sky falls came from.

But Chang Geng was severely shocked. He himself did indeed notify General Zhong, but it was through using Lin Yuan Pavilion's method. It was not convenient for Xu Ling to hear of it. He had prepared another set of plays to show to Master Xu. Unexpectedly, just through a few words, Gu Yun had shouldered this unlawful act for him.

Gu Yun held the Black Tiger Emblem in his hands, able to mobilize troops on all four sides during wartime, it was not uncommon for him to have a secret way of contacting the border garrisons. After listening to him, even if one was any more foolish, they would come to understand and stop any questioning. If they later met the reinforcements, Xu Ling would not be any more suspicious.

Chang Geng's wet palm suddenly broke out a layer of cold sweat.

He already knew, Chang Geng's heart trembled and sank into coldness.

Man proposes, God disposes. Even if a plan was any more perfect, it could not avoid having accidents outside of expectation. For Chang Geng, the first one was on that day when he proposed to travel to the South. Before he could have said it in a straightforward manner, Gu Yun had unexpectedly stepped out to quickly handle it.

The arrow already mounted on the string could not avoid being shot, he had to continue on and make his many arrangements with more and more discretion.

When it came to Gu Yun, the resourceful Yan Wang who had never blundered would still have momentary confusion — it was not that his brain and intellect fell short, but it was because he himself could not tell what it was that he wanted to do.

On one hand, he wanted to conceal this matter with Xu Ling as well as Gu Yun. After all, conspiracy was nothing to be prideful of, there would always exist lowly tactics behind it all. He did not want Gu Yun to see that he was the type who did not shy away from any scheme and calculation, nor did he dare to think about how Gu Yun would feel about this matter.

On the other hand, he courageously hoped that Gu Yun would be able to see through the truth clearly. It was almost the kind of mentality of acting spoiled that made one unreasonably pick a fight with people closest to them, wanting to let them know that 'I am that type of person'.

He was in a dilemma — afraid of meeting Gu Yun's limit, yet he could not help prodding for his reaction.
