Gu Qingluan sneered. “Fifth Prince, it seems that you…”

“All of you get out!” Qitian Yu suddenly shouted.

Gu Zhixin was taken aback, realizing that the “all of you” included himself.

Of course, the Fifth Prince didn’t want anyone to witness him kneeling before an ordinary person. It was too humiliating.

“Alright, alright, I’ll leave immediately!”

Gu Qingluan didn’t stop them this time, casually waving her hand to signal the servants to escort the bound individuals outside.

Once the hall was empty, only Gu Qingluan and Qitian Yu remained. The latter knelt down with a grim expression to apologize.

If Gu Qingluan could, she would have killed him directly. However, if they died here today, she would definitely raise suspicions.

She dreaded the intervention of the revered ones who ruled over the royal family.

If the Fifth Prince were to be offended, even if he became angry once more, he wouldn’t be able to summon a revered ent.i.ty to handle her.

However, if the Fifth Prince were to perish, the situation would change drastically.

The royal family would undoubtedly seek justice for the Fifth Prince, and most likely, they would call upon a revered one.

For now, Gu Qingluan didn’t want to confront such a powerful adversary head-on.

She glanced at Qitian Yu and sneered, “Fifth Prince, you are truly adaptable, truly impressive.”

Qitian Yu’s face tightened as he asked, “Is that enough?”

“Fifth Prince, you may leave. 1 won’t be escorting you out.” Gu Qingluan calmly smiled as if she didn’t notice his intimidating gaze.

Qitian Yu quickly stood up, forcefully brushed his sleeve, and turned to leave.

“Fifth Prince, wait!”

Qitian Yu abruptly halted his steps. “What else do you want, Gu Qingluan? You better know your limits.”

“You came here to beg me to save w.a.n.g Shi, right? I can give you a chance.”

Qitian Yu watched her warily. “What trick do you plan to play now?”

“I’ll ask you a question, do you want to save her?”

“What are your conditions?” Qitian Yu wasn’t foolish. He knew she wouldn’t save her easily.

“It’s simple, as long as you can afford the price.”

“How much?”

“One million taels of gold.”

Qitian Yu knew she would make an outrageous demand, but he didn’t expect her to be so ruthless. He couldn’t believe it and asked, “What did you say?”

Gu Qingluan repeated it calmly.

Qitian Yu’s brows furrowed tightly. “That price is too high. Can’t it be cheaper?”

“The elixirs from the Island of No Return hold immeasurable value. In exchange for a Universe Stabilizer, the Gu family was willing to offer eighteen hundred Xuanling Crystal Hearts. Are you suggesting that you cannot afford a mere one million taels of gold? Is it that you are incapable of affording it, or do you consider w.a.n.g Shi’s life to be worth less than one million taels?”

Knowing that bargaining was futile, Qitian Yu fell silent. “I will convey your request to the Gu family.”

“Then, I’ll trouble you to do so, Fifth Prince. Today, at the Rooster Hour, deliver it here, and don’t be late.”

Qitian Yu walked out of the main hall, and Gu Zhixin hurriedly approached him.

“Fifth Prince, let’s leave first before discussing further.”

He didn’t dare to ask too much, fearing to provoke Qitian Yu.

Qitian Yu’s expression was grim as water.

He could see through Gu Zhixin’s thoughts. He absolutely couldn’t let others think that he had just kneeled before Gu Qingluan begging for mercy!

So he said, “She agreed to save w.a.n.g Shi.”

“What did you say?” Gu Zhixin was extremely surprised.

“In a display of logic and emotion, this prince articulated his thoughts at length, ultimately persuading her to rescue w.a.n.g Shi.”

“Really?”

“Of course, why would I lie to you? She does have some feelings for this prince, but she feels embarra.s.sed to admit it in front of you all.”

Gu Zhixin didn’t doubt his words. It was well known that Gu Qingluan used to have affection for the Fifth Prince.

Perhaps it was just a momentary disagreement. Women were like that. Men would say sweet words and coax them in private, and their anger would dissipate.

“That’s great! When can Mr. Liu go to the Gu Residence to treat my sister-in-law?”

“You need to prepare one million taels of gold first. Deliver it here today at the Rooster Hour, and don’t be late.”

“One million taels of gold? How can that audacious girl ask for such a price!”

Qitian Yu’s expression turned even worse. “It’s just one million taels. It’s not easy for others to obtain something from the Island of No Return. If it weren’t for me, with your relationship with Gu Qingluan, would she agree to save w.a.n.g Shi? Know your place!”

Gu Zhixin felt like he had been scolded.

“You’re right! You’re right! Fifth Prince, it’s all thanks to you this time. The Gu family will forever remember this favor.”

Seeing that his objective had been achieved, Qitian Yu’s expression finally eased a bit. “As long as you understand. The matter is settled. This prince will leave now. Keep in mind what can and cannot be said, Second Master Gu.”

Gu Zhixin nodded. “Fifth Prince, rest a.s.sured. I won’t utter a word that shouldn’t be spoken.”

Qi Tianyu nodded and stepped over the tall threshold. Suddenly, as if tripped by something, his body uncontrollably fell forward.. He tried to exert force to save himself, but he couldn’t muster any strength!
