After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 31: Threat

Gan Luo found it somewhat amusing to see Zhao Wuji gritting his teeth, as if he wished he could tear Xin Ruyu to pieces.

Gan Luo decided to teach Zhao Wuji a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Lin Fengmian stepped forward and asked, "Why does this young master look so unwell? Could he be ill?"

"It's because the storyteller touched his heart."

Lin Fengmian feigned sudden realization: "If that's the case, then the young master the storyteller mentioned could be......"

Before he could finish speaking, his gaze fell on Zhao Wuji.

Everyone's attention was focused on Zhao Wuji, but Gan Luo wanted to see how this son of the Grand Tutor would cope with the current situation.

Zhao Wuji stood up, feeling that they were simply going too far.

"you……"

But then, as if something was small, he turned and went outside the private room.

"If the storyteller continues to tell this story, be careful, or you might lose your head."

Zhao Wuji kept threatening him, hoping to shut him up.

Seeing his anxiety, Gan Luo fiddled with the prayer beads in his hand and said, "If you have nothing to hide, why are you so flustered?"

Zhao Wuji was furious and looked extremely upset, but Gan Luo was in a much better mood.

I thought that after I finished speaking, the gentleman wouldn't continue.

The man continued, showing no fear whatsoever.

"..."

Several crows flew overhead.

He decided that when he got back, he would find some people to demolish the teahouse.

As the man continued to ramble on, Zhao Wuji suddenly had an idea.

"Your Highness has to go to the outhouse sometimes."

Gan Luo looked up at Zhao Wuji's thoughts and found them somewhat laughable.

Gan Luo did not intend to expose him.

If this is exposed, how should the play proceed?

"Since you are here, young master, and you are going to the latrine, I cannot stop you."

Gan Luo merely turned his head and glanced at Lin Fengmian.

Lin Fengmian understood Gan Luo's intention perfectly.

They hurriedly followed.

Upon arriving here, they were surprised to see Zhao Wuji threatening the restaurant owner.

"Let me tell you, I am the son of the Grand Tutor. You'd better advise that storyteller to watch his mouth, otherwise, your restaurant could be in danger at any time..."

Zhao Wuji's eyes held a hint of coldness.

The boss was suddenly threatened, so everyone here quickly nodded in agreement.

After returning, he whispered the matter in Gan Luo's ear.

"Heh, it seems even a rabbit will bite when cornered."

In a short while, Zhao Wuji returned with a smile on his face.

Gan Luo couldn't help but say, "Young master, your trip was worthwhile. If some of the wines were not quite right in that respect, I have a prescription here. If you need it, please just let me know."

Zhao Wuji stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.

These were the words that the man was most sensitive to, and he never expected this person to actually say them…

"Thank you for your kindness, young master, but I don't need it. You just said you have a prescription here. Is it possible that you are not good in that area?"

Gan Luo laughed heartily a few times: "Young master, what are you saying? It was just a gift from an old friend. When I saw you taking so long to go to the outhouse, I thought it was you... I apologize for any offense, young master, please don't hold it against me."

"As the son of the Grand Tutor, do you not even have this much magnanimity?"

Zhao Wuji was already so angry he was about to vomit blood, but he didn't expect this person to add fuel to the fire.

Watching these two sing in unison, I felt an urge to tear them to shreds.

Xin Ruyu, however, became interested in Gan Luo.

"Young master, what is my father's surname?"

Gan Luo casually gave a surname and that was it.

Zhao Wuji must have memorized this person's name clearly, and planned to go back and tell his father.

Have your father pay a visit.

He is the only legitimate son of the family, how can he be wronged like this?

Zhao Wuji was only a threat because he was someone you couldn't afford to offend.

Since we can't afford to offend them, we can at least avoid them.

Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Gan Luo said something.

"I have other matters to attend to, so I must take my leave now."

Gan Luo then left, leaving only Zhao Wuji and Xin Ruyu behind.

As Xin Ruyu was leaving, he gently patted Zhao Wuji on the shoulder.

"Don't be too spoiled, or it will backfire."

Lin Fengmian was furious at that inexplicable remark.

Back at the Grand Tutor's residence, the Grand Tutor saw his beloved son with a furious expression.

It's understandable that I had some doubts at that moment.

"Why do you look like that all of a sudden? Tell your father, did something happen to you today?"

He then told the Grand Tutor about Xin Ruyu's summons.

He also informed the Grand Tutor about the man's situation.

How could the Grand Tutor possibly allow his son to suffer such an injustice?

The Grand Tutor made a decision: he would go to the palace that very night to report these matters to the Emperor.

There are many people in this world who look alike.

Gan Luo said this in a calm and understated manner.

She turned her gaze to Zhao Wuji and gave him a quick once-over.

"This young master, I do remember him."

Zhao Wuji was drinking tea when he suddenly heard Gan Luo say this, and he was shocked.

In Zhao Wuji's memory, the two of them had never met.

How come this young master has some impression of him now?

"Young master, there's no need to look at me like that."

Zhao Wuji quickly averted his gaze: "We two have never met before, how can you speak of us now, young master..."

"There's no need to worry about this young master."

Xin Ruyu always felt that something was wrong.

Fine, I'll go to the Princess's residence tomorrow and take a good look. That way I'll know whether this person is really the Princess.

Then a storyteller appeared on the scene, holding a musical instrument in his hand.

"Do you think that what Mr. Kyoko said today would be true?"

The people below were whispering among themselves.

This storyteller was about thirty years old, and had a rather long beard.

Then it was revealed that the gentleman was telling them something different today.

Next, the man started typing on the board while muttering to himself.

The story he told was about Gan Luo and Zhao Wuji.

The implication is that Zhao Wuji is not human.

Gan Luo's usually calm eyes flickered slightly at that moment.

Lin Fengmian stood to the side and gently touched Gan Luo's shoulder with his hand.

This scene went unnoticed by Zhao Wuji and Xin Ruyu.

Gan Luo snapped out of his reverie and said thoughtfully.

"This storyteller is spouting complete nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyu turned and glanced at Zhao Wuji.

"I don't think so. I think what you said is absolutely correct."

Zhao Wuji's face turned pale and then red as he stood there.

If I could, I'd love to find a crack in the ground and disappear right now.

It shouldn't be like this...
