#931 - It's better to be sad than dead

An hour later, after dinner, Wei Changtian took Yang Liushi and Gu Pan'er out.

The three of them took a carriage out of the city and headed straight for the Tiangou Army camp in the night.

Until this time, Yang Liushi and Gu Pan'er still didn't know what they were going to do, but the former had already vaguely guessed a little, and whispered to Wei Changtian:

"Husband, are you planning to send Sister Pan'er back first?"

Wei Changtian shook his head unmoved: "Pan'er, you have never cultivated. This time you are going to fight, and there will definitely be many people staring at you in the open and in the dark."

"And I may not be able to protect you at all times, so... you should understand what I mean, right."

"..."

The words were not finished, but the meaning was very clear.

Wei Changtian felt that taking Gu Pan'er was a burden and easy to be threatened, so he planned to send her away in advance.

Of course, Gu Pan'er understood the stakes, so after a moment of愣, she couldn't say anything, just bit her lip gently.

She definitely didn't want to leave Wei Changtian.

But who told her that she couldn't do anything, and staying would only be a burden to Young Master Wei...

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, Young Master..."

"That's right."

Wei Changtian smiled: "I'll send someone to send you to Xin Feng first, and then you can live there for the time being. When things are over here, we'll go back to Great Shu together."

"By the way, do you still have any relatives in Linchuan?"

"If you do, tell me now, and I can have someone take them away together."

"No, my parents passed away a few years ago."

Gu Pan'er's voice was very small: "Several older brothers in the family have also started their own families and no longer care about me..."

"Okay."

Wei Changtian sighed softly: "Alas, I know you don't want to leave, but fighting is not a child's play, and there's nothing I can do about it."

"And it probably won't be too long, half a month at the shortest, a month or so at the longest, and Great Qian should be finished."

"I'll have Zhang San leave you a pair of mother-and-child jade. If you need anything, just ask the guards to send me a message."

"Yes, I understand..."

Gu Pan'er was not such an ignorant little woman. Even though she was reluctant in her heart, she understood that she should not cause trouble for Wei Changtian, so she nodded obediently.

"I'm fine with anything, as long as the Young Master and Madam are safe and sound, I'll be satisfied."

"..."

Just like that, after about a quarter of an hour, Gu Pan'er, escorted by a team of Tiangou Army, headed straight for Xin Feng.

Perhaps because there was no "substantial" relationship between her and Wei Changtian, and there was no status, she didn't say any "intimate" words until she left.

She just said goodbye quietly, and finally took a deep look at Wei Changtian, and then got into the carriage.

Wei Changtian stood there and watched the carriage disappear into the night, before turning his head and saying to Yang Liushi:

"Let's go, let's go back."

"Well, Husband, why don't you look sad at all?"

Yang Liushi followed Wei Changtian into the carriage and joked with a smile: "When you parted with Sister Qingwan and Sister Qin'er before, you had to tell them for a long time."

"What's there to say."

Curling his lips, Wei Changtian said truthfully: "Besides, how can Gu Pan'er compare with Wan'er and the others? I've only known her for five days, and I can't talk about deep feelings."

"Huh?"

Her eyes widened slightly, and it could be seen that Yang Liushi was very surprised by Wei Changtian's "frankness."

In fact, she had long felt that Wei Changtian didn't care much about Gu Pan'er, but the former personally expressed his attitude when buying a house this morning, so she had never asked in detail.

Now Yang Liushi can just take this opportunity to ask clearly.

"Then why did Husband say that this morning?"

Looking at Wei Changtian, she asked doubtfully: "Since Husband has no intention for Miss Gu, why say such misleading words?"

"I only said that she can open a music house in Shu Prefecture. You guys are the ones who misunderstood."

Wei Changtian rolled his eyes, first unresponsibly cleared his relationship, and then continued to explain:

"She showed her face last night, and Guankong and Lin Zhi will definitely trouble her in the future."

"Also, the fact that I redeemed her will not be concealed, and it is estimated that it will be known to everyone sooner or later."

"Therefore, if she is still in Linchuan, or even Great Qian, she will definitely die a violent death one day."

"Since she can risk her life to save me, then I will do my best to save her life, that's all."

"...Then Husband didn't explain it clearly this morning."

Yang Liushi blamed: "It made Miss Gu happy for nothing."

"Explain it clearly?"

Wei Changtian shook his head: "If I explained it clearly, would she be willing to leave?"

"That's true... It's just that in this way, Miss Gu will definitely be sad when she knows the truth."

Yang Liushi sighed: "I also came from a brothel, and I know how difficult it is for a brothel woman to find a lover who doesn't dislike her."

"Sad is better than dead."

Wei Changtian didn't have any guilt, just sighed casually.

"Sad is always better than death."

"..."

Helplessly glancing at Wei Changtian, Yang Liushi didn't say anything more.

Now she already understood that Wei Changtian just wanted to repay Gu Pan'er a favor, which might also be mixed with some sympathy and pity, but there should be almost no love between men and women.

Although in this way, she would have one less "love rival" to compete for favor, Yang Liushi didn't feel happy, and even felt a little sad for Gu Pan'er in her heart.

But Gu Pan'er's matter was just a small matter after all, and besides, the person had already left, so she quickly stopped thinking about it and changed the subject in a low voice.

"Husband, you haven't told me why you became enemies with that Guankong."

"This matter..."

Wei Changtian turned his head to look at the night outside the window and smiled bitterly: "I also want to know."

"But he can't trouble us for no reason."

Yang Liushi frowned and analyzed: "And if you think about it carefully, he should have been planning for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to steal the gold hairpin from the house in Shu Prefecture City."

"Husband, could this Guankong be an elder of someone you offended before?"

"It shouldn't be."

Shaking his head, Wei Changtian actually had a guess about Guankong's purpose, but he didn't tell Yang Liushi.

After all, it's better not to let too many people know about the Son of Heaven and the plundering of luck.

"Okay, forget about him. By the way, I suddenly remembered something."

"What's the matter?"

"It's the demon king of Changliu Mountain..."

"Yes, what does Husband want to ask?"

"I want to ask... is she pretty?"

"..."

Yang Liushi: "???"
