Chapter 65: Breakthrough
"Royal sister, why did you kill me?"
Then Gan Luo heard Gan Yanling's voice again, and Gan Luo frowned.
Then Gan Yanling appeared beside Gan Luo, his eyes gouged out.
Blood seeped from the corner of Gan Yanling's mouth, and his body was riddled with arrows, making him look terrifying.
Upon witnessing this scene, Gan Luo's tears immediately fell to the ground.
“A-Ling…”
Was all of this done by Gan Luo?
Gan Luo looked at his hands and realized that they were stained with too much blood.
Lin Fengmian reappeared and repeatedly questioned Gan Luo.
Why betray me!
There was only one voice in his mind, constantly telling Gan Luo.
"Suicide! Suicide!"
Gan Luo suddenly realized something was wrong.
After all, when Gan Luo touched the corpse below, his soul traveled through it.
Gan Luo suddenly remembered that he wasn't trying to pass a level.
Perhaps the first hurdle is to confuse people's minds; what you fear most is what will come to pass.
Gan Luo had a cold expression on his face, holding a sword in his hand.
"A mere illusion dares to trap me? Wishful thinking!"
Gan Luo successfully dispelled the illusion by drawing his sword.
Looking down, Gan Luo saw the Illusion Flower beside him. He remembered that this flower could trap people in an illusion, and even if it was torn off now, it would grow back again.
Suddenly a sound was heard.
"Congratulations on passing the first level."
Lin Fengmian could tell that Gan Luo had passed a test as soon as he saw one of the imperial flags fall.
However, this first hurdle was indeed quite easy for Gan Luo.
After all, Gan Luo had nothing to fear.
"Her Highness is indeed a princess."
The hall master couldn't help but praise Gan Luo.
Gan Luo has now reached the second level, which is actually relatively easier for him.
Although Gan Luo did indeed undergo a test of his conscience in the first trial, he is still somewhat apprehensive. Perhaps in the eyes of the world, Gan Luo is fearless.
In fact, Gan Luo had things he was afraid of.
Looking back on everything that happened, Gan Luo found it all laughable.
On the other side, Zhao Wuji somehow learned that Gan Luo was ill.
Are you sure Gan Luo is sick?
“I truly heard it.”
Zhao Wuji laughed heartily a few times.
Sure enough, this cycle of revenge came back to haunt him.
"I overheard Green Bamboo, the princess's maid, telling me this when I passed by the princess's residence today."
If that's the case, then it means Gan Luo was indeed ill.
As luck would have it, Xu Jinxin arrived and overheard their conversation.
At that moment, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Gan Luo.
"My cousin has always been in good health, so how could she suddenly get sick?"
Upon hearing what Xu Jinxin said, Zhao Wuji walked up to her.
"Shouldn't you be happy that Gan Luo is sick? Have you forgotten how Gan Luo treated you before? You are too kind-hearted."
"Alas, there was only a misunderstanding between the princess and me."
Zhao Wuji put his hand directly on Xu Jinxin's shoulder.
They were still speaking softly and gently here.
"I actually think it's good that Gan Luo is dead."
Actually, Xu Jinxin was very happy, but she just wanted Zhao Wuji to feel sorry for her.
That's why I said those things on purpose.
Those around her naturally saw through Xu Jinxin's scheme perfectly.
They all felt a chill run down their spines.
If they were Zhao Wuji, they would definitely only choose the princess.
Unfortunately, Zhao Wuji was blind.
That's why I chose this person—because I'm blind.
If this person had perfectly good eyesight, they wouldn't have...
The servants around couldn't bear to watch any longer and left one by one.
However, Zhao Wuji felt that the servants were making room for them.
"You said my cousin is sick now, should I, as her younger cousin, go and see her?"
"I don't think there's any need to go see a doctor. Who knows if it's a real illness or a fake one?"
The two were being all lovey-dovey when, by sheer coincidence, the Grand Tutor returned and witnessed this scene.
He was furious at that moment and stared coldly at Xu Jinxin.
"Hugging and embracing in public is inappropriate."
"Father, it was I who hugged Jinxin, please don't blame him."
The Grand Tutor felt somewhat helpless, looking at his son who was truly incompetent.
There was such a big piece of meat in front of us, but we didn't cherish it.
Later, when that piece of fat was no longer there, they thought about going back, but unexpectedly, they couldn't go back.
If it weren't for Xu Jinxin's involvement, how could things have developed to this point?
It's because of Xu Jinxin that all these things happened...
It's too late for regrets now.
"But I just heard you say that the princess is sick, is that true?"
"Father, I don't know anything about this matter, but I only heard it from the servants in the manor."
Logically, the emperor should have known if the princess was ill.
Moreover, the emperor would send people to comfort Gan Luo, but now there has been no movement.
This suggests that the matter is likely false.
"Don't make this public for now."
Take it one step at a time and observe the situation.
"But I heard that the prince visited the princess today, but she didn't pay any attention to him."
The Grand Tutor stroked his chin, looking serious, and decided to head to the palace.
However, they stopped at the entrance of the Grand Tutor's residence.
If we just walk to the palace like this, what if the emperor asks about it...?
Right now, I should first verify whether this matter is true or false.
The Grand Tutor personally came to the Princess's residence.
The steward was astonished when he saw the Grand Tutor.
"Why would the Grand Tutor come here out of the blue?"
The steward hurriedly went and found the green bamboo and the jade bamboo.
"The Green Bamboo Girl and the Jade Bamboo Girl are really in trouble."
"What's wrong? Anyone who didn't know better would think we're dead."
The steward, panting, told Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo that the Grand Tutor had arrived.
"what?"
The Grand Tutor has arrived?
It is said that no one visits the Three Treasures Hall without a reason, so why would the Grand Tutor come here in person?
Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo came outside to greet him.
"Greetings, Grand Tutor. Is there something you need here?"
"Having heard that Her Highness the Princess is unwell, I have specially brought some tonics for her."
Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo took the medicine.
I would like to express my gratitude to the Grand Tutor here.
"I will tell Her Highness about this when I go in later. Once Her Highness has recovered, she will naturally go to the Grand Tutor's residence to thank you."
"This princess has always been in good health, so why is she suddenly sick now?"
"Grand Tutor, you may not know this, but it rained a couple of days ago. Your Highness was in a bad mood and went out in the rain, but you didn't change into dry clothes in time, which is why you caught a cold."
The Grand Tutor pretended to understand.
He kept glancing inside from time to time.
How could Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo not guess the Grand Tutor's thoughts?
"Her Highness the Princess has told us that she will not see anyone. It just so happens that the Princess is not in a good mood. We hope that the Grand Tutor can understand."
