The spiritual butterflies fluttered and directly led us to a hot spring bathing resort, which was a well - known hot spring bathing center in Gangliao City.
"Lanlan, do you believe me if I say a man and a woman come to this kind of place to talk about work?" Bai Qi looked up at the resplendent facade and asked blankly.
"Are you kidding me? Who would come to a hot spring bathing hotel like this to talk about work? A man and a woman?"
Bai Linger always spoke directly and liked to hit people where it hurt.
"They clearly have an affair. Lanlan, dump Lord Liu San. I don't see what's good about him."
"You have the nerve to talk about Gu Yuan. The person you like is even more unreliable than Gu Yuan, but you still go after him."
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute..."
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute either..."
The two of them bickered with each other and were almost about to fight at the hotel entrance.
I really regretted bringing them along. I might as well have come out to investigate by myself.
"Stop arguing, you two. Bai Qi, go and ask which room Gu Yuan and the others are in. If there's a room next to theirs, book it. Linger and I will go up first to take a look."
After I finished speaking, Bai Linger couldn't wait to pull me into the back alley of the outdoor hot spring. She stole a set of cleaning staff's clothes for me to change into.
This way, we could enter and exit the hotel rooms legitimately.
Linger and I followed the spiritual butterflies all the way to the hot spring bamboo house in the back alley. There was a hot spring below, and above was a bamboo - plank house built with bamboo. White mist lingered around the bamboo houses and bamboo bridges, giving a feeling of a small bridge over flowing water in the early morning.
The spiritual butterflies fluttered along the bamboo bridge. Linger and I followed closely behind, quickly crossing the winding bamboo bridge, and stopped near a small bamboo building.
We didn't dare to get too close. After all, the two people inside were immortals. If we got too close, they might notice us.
The bamboo building had poor sound insulation. Even though we were standing quite far away, we could still hear the woman's unrestrained moans from inside the room.
There was no need to think too much. The situation inside must be intense.
"They're so blatant about having an affair. Can't they set up a barrier? Aren't they afraid of disturbing the guests next door?" Bai Linger seemed even angrier than me.
I didn't believe that the man inside was Gu Yuan. There must be a misunderstanding. He said he only loved me, and I believed that he only loved me. He would never do anything to betray me.
The wanton moans kept coming, and I couldn't bear it any longer. I turned around and was about to leave, but Bai Linger stopped me.
"Aren't you going to expose this couple of scumbags? How long do you want to keep running away?"
"I don't know if the woman inside is Dan Zhu, but the man definitely isn't Gu Yuan. Let's go." I grabbed Bai Linger's hand and was about to turn around and leave, but Bai Linger didn't listen to me.
"If you're too afraid to face it, I'll expose them for you."
After saying that, she walked straight in and kicked open the door of the room.
One second, there were all kinds of moans in the room. The next second, they suddenly stopped, and then came the sounds of fighting and the shattering of tables and chairs.
Bai Linger was standing up for me. At this moment, it seemed a bit cowardly of me not to go in.
I had no choice but to brace myself and go in. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Dan Zhu, disheveled, fighting with Bai Linger.
Seeing me come in, Dan Zhu got even angrier. She kicked Bai Linger hard in the chest and sent her flying far away.
Bai Linger knelt on one knee. It seemed like she wasn't satisfied with the fight and wanted to go up again, but I pulled her back.
"Enough. That's it. Stop fighting."
"The man is still inside. I must drag him out." Bai Linger was about to step forward again, but I quickly held her down.
"You can't beat her. Don't ask for trouble." I said.
"But I can't just watch you being wronged. I'm going to see if it's Lord Liu San inside." Bai Linger whipped out her whip.
One second, Dan Zhu was still furious. After hearing Bai Linger's words, she suddenly stopped being angry. She covered her body with a white gauze dress and gave a charming smile.
"Yes, it's Gu Yuan. So what?"
"You're lying. Gu Yuan would never do such a thing. Moreover, the men in his family have always only been devoted to one woman, and that's me. So it definitely isn't him." I would never allow her to slander Gu Yuan here.
"Really? Do you really think so in your heart? If you didn't have any doubts in your heart, would you have let this girl barge in?"
"Believe it or not. Let's go." I grabbed Bai Linger and was about to leave.
"Stop. Do you think you can just leave after smashing things?" Dan Zhu said coldly while sitting beside the window of the small bamboo building.
I didn't look back and just replied, "Don't worry. I will take responsibility for what I should."
"Hehe, really? Your responsibility was to exchange for Man Yue's life, but you couldn't bear it. If it weren't for Gu Yuan continuously infusing spiritual energy into you all this time, you would have died long ago."
Dan Zhu lay on the windowsill with great interest. Her charming appearance was completely different from her identity as an immortal.
"Do you know how he infused spiritual energy into you? Just like he was with me just now. He infused spiritual energy into me in order to replace you, hehe..."
After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth and giggled shyly. Then, with a wave of her white gauze, she disappeared.
Seeing the tears welling up in my eyes, Bai Linger knew that she had been too reckless.
"Sorry, Lanlan. I was too impulsive."
I shook my head slightly, and my body trembled a little.
"I absolutely don't believe that the man inside was Gu Yuan."
Gu Yuan said that if I had any questions, I should ask him face - to - face and not be influenced by others.
Just then, Bai Qi also came up.
"Cancel the room. The fight is over." Bai Linger said to Bai Qi.
"Actually, I didn't book a room. I walked around. There's no trace of Gu Yuan here at all. So Gu Yuan never came."
"If it's not Lord Liu San, then who is the man inside?" Bai Linger asked.
"We haven't found out yet. As long as it's not Gu Yuan, it doesn't matter who it is."
"Lanlan, sorry. Linger and I misled you."
Bai Qi would never lie to me. I knew it couldn't be Gu Yuan.
I smiled at them to show that I was okay. Just as I let out a sigh of relief,
Suddenly, I felt dizzy and my vision blurred. My body went weak, and I fell down.
"Lanlan..."
...
When I woke up, I was lying in my own bed at home. Gu Yuan was sitting beside me, looking at me seriously.
I knew he must have already known what happened today. To be honest, it was impossible not to be nervous.
I sat up from the bed. Gu Yuan didn't say a word or get angry. Instead, he got up and put a pillow behind my back to make me more comfortable.
"Why did I faint?" I asked Gu Yuan weakly.
I had never seen such an expression on Gu Yuan's face before. It was a serious look with a hint of worry.
I suddenly had a bad feeling. Did something happen to my body?
