Chapter 927: Show Me Some Sincerity
If it were her husband, she would be bedridden for a month.
“Sigh, don’t mention it. I almost couldn’t get up today. It hurts.”
Bu Yaolian rubbed her waist as she spoke with a bitter expression.
“You… you deserve it.”
Gu Bailu laughed and thought that Bu Yaolian was really a clown.
Su Shenfan was already halfway through the battle, and Bu Yaolian still wanted to replenish his energy.
Bu Yaolian was about to say that she would never do it again, when her nose turned cold. Damn, it was bleeding again.
“Quick, send me back to the palace.”
She grabbed Gu Bailu’s hand and shouted anxiously.
Gu Bailu hurriedly stood up. “Don’t rush. Block it first.”
“No, no, I can’t dirty the dress. This is a new dress. It’s my favorite.”
Gu Bailu had no choice but to send her back to Qinghua Palace.
When she reached the room, she found Shao Zun sitting there looking at a stack of mission orders.
Seeing Bu Yaolian being helped back, Su Shenfan frowned. “Why is your nose bleeding again? I told you to drink cooling tea.”
He walked over and patted Bu Yaolian’s back. “Okay, okay, don’t panic. You’ll be fine soon.”
“I can’t dirty this dress.” Bu Yaolian was still thinking about her dress.
“Whatever; go lie on the bed.”
He put Bu Yaolian on the bed and poured her a cup of hot tea. “Drink it.”
Then, he looked at Gu Bailu. “What you told Su Lian last time, I agree. However, I can’t tell you anything outright. I can only provide clues, and I won’t act personally.”
Gu Bailu was overjoyed. “Just clues is fine.”
“I’ll have Su Lian play it by ear and relay information to you.”
“Okay.”
Gu Bailu didn’t expect Su Shenfan to change his mind so quickly and be willing to cooperate with her.
She had only been giving it a try when she suggested it.
What made Su Shenfan switch sides?
Gu Bailu looked at Bu Yaolian on the bed, who was still drinking the tea from Su Shenfan’s hand. Was it because of this woman?
“I’ve already agreed. You have to show me some sincerity and return my Sky Splitting Mirror to me,” Su Shenfan said.
Gu Bailu thought this was asking for too much.
“I won’t stop you from putting the entire Sky Splitting Mirror together.”
Gu Bailu understood his meaning: He wanted a share of the spoils after the Sky Splitting Mirror was put together.
“Alright, I believe Shao Zun is a man of his word.”
“As long as you don’t touch my bottom line, I am definitely the most trustworthy person.”
This was clearly implying that the Rising Clouds Emperor had touched his bottom line.
Was it because he tried to use beauties to control Shao Zun?
Gu Bailu didn’t care about the reason, as long as Shao Zun agreed to cooperate.
When Feng Qingtian returned to their room that night, Gu Bailu hurriedly discussed it with him.
“Mm, it’s good if he agrees. If he also wants to combine the Sky Splitting Mirror, that’s good for us. We can cooperate for a long while yet.”
“I wonder what happened with the Rising Clouds Emperor to make Shao Zun turn on him.”
“The Rising Clouds Emperor is ambitious, but not accomplished. All he does is play dirty tricks. Su Shenfan might be cunning, but he’s honest when he does things. He looks down on the emperor; otherwise, he wouldn’t have suddenly given up on the competition that day.”
“What do you mean?”
“Su Shenfan loves beauties and money the most. As long as the beauties around him are obedient, they will be treated well. That night, the emperor had his empress and consort go on stage. The two of them were seriously injured, but he still had the mood to carry on. In the eyes of Su Shenfan, who loves beauties, this is something to be disdained.”
