Chapter 853: What a handsome young man

In a small alley.

At this time, Gu Chan was walking forward leisurely.

"Sir, please walk slowly."

A woman's voice suddenly sounded behind her.

Gu Chan stopped and looked back, only to find that it was the young lady and the maid who had caught up with them.

The two ran to Gu Chan, and the young lady panted and said, "Sir, my name is Guo Yu, and my father is the leader of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. Thank you for your help just now, otherwise I would not have escaped the clutches of that bastard today!"

"Ms. Guo, you are too polite. My real intention is not to help you. I just don't like someone disturbing me while I am listening to music." Gu Chan said with a faint smile.

In fact, she didn't want to help Guo Yu at all, she just simply couldn't stand Gao Lin's domineering behavior.

Guo Yu didn't care about it. Instead, he smiled and said, "No matter what, you helped me anyway, so I still want to thank you."

"Okay, then I accept your thanks, and we'll say goodbye here. I hope Miss Guo can protect herself well in the future and not run into him again." Gu Chan reminded kindly.

After saying that, she turned around and wanted to leave.

Guo Yu quickly reached out and pulled her sleeve and said, "Sir, don't be so anxious! I don't even know your name."

"My...my name is Xu Xian." Gu Chan said with a smile.

"Wow! What a poetic name! Mr. Xu, where do you live? When I am free one day, I will visit you with gifts." Guo Yu said with a red face.

Gu Chan was stunned when she saw what happened.

As the saying goes, a thousand words cannot compare to the blush on a girl’s face!
Guo Yu looked at her at this moment, behaving like a little girl, which instantly made her feel scared.

After all, she came to Diyue Country this time not to pick up girls, but to do something important. She really didn't want to offend any girl to avoid trouble.

Therefore, Gu Chan refused without hesitation and said, "Ms. Guo, you are too polite. It's really not necessary. It's just a small favor. You don't have to mind it."

"Mr. Xu, you..."

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving. Guo Xiaoyu, you should go home early!" Gu Chan interrupted.

Then she left quickly as if she was escaping.

Guo Yu stood there, watching her leaving from behind. His face turned even redder, and he murmured to himself, "What a handsome young man. He even rejected me with such grace. I must not let him go so easily!"

"Miss, you won't fall in love with him, will you?" the maid said with a strange laugh.

"I have already reached the age for marriage. Isn't it normal for me to fall in love with a man now? And if I get married, Gao Lin will stop thinking about me and he won't dare to harass me again!" Guo Yu said shrewdly.

The maid nodded without comment.

Guo Yu pouted and said, "What a pity, I don't know where he lives, otherwise I would definitely go find him."

"Miss! Look at what he is wearing, isn't it obvious that he came to Kyoto for business? When you go back later, ask the master to send someone to check, and then you will know where he lives," the maid reminded.

"Yes! Why didn't I think of that? Let's go, and go back to find dad." Guo Yu said happily.

After saying that, she hurried home with her maid and asked her father to find out the inn where Gu Chan was staying.

But what she didn't know was that Xu Xian was just a random name that Gu Chan had chosen to cover up her tracks. Even when she checked into the inn, she had registered under Xuan Xiao's name, so no matter how hard her father tried to find someone, he couldn't find Xu Xian. For the next three days, not only was she looking for Gu Chan, but Gao Lin was also looking for her everywhere.

On the other hand, Gu Chan had already changed back into women's clothes and was inquiring about the matter about the Higan Mountain in Kyoto. After all, the red spider lily grows on the Higan Mountain. If she wanted to get the red spider lily, she would first have to find a way to get into the Higan Mountain.

But after three days of investigation, she discovered that Kyoto Higan Mountain was indeed a forbidden area for the royal family. Usually, there were large numbers of soldiers taking turns to guard the foot of the mountain. It was difficult for ordinary people to get close, let alone enter the mountain.

Helplessly, Gu Chan could only return to the inn to rest temporarily and wait for an opportunity.

That night, when Gu Chan was having dinner with Xuan Xiao in the guest room, there was a sudden knock on the door from outside.

Xuan Xiao immediately stood up and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Feng Hao and Fang Tianyi rushed in without saying a word.

The first time he saw Gu Chan, Feng Hao said, "Great! The food is pretty good! So, you forgot about your future husband after coming to Kyoto?"

"Bah! Stop talking nonsense here. You haven't even made it into the top three yet! Wait until you fulfill our agreement." Gu Chan said disdainfully.

Feng Hao sneered, and walked to the table and sat down with Fang Tianyi.

Gu Chan stared at Xuan Xiao and said, "Go get them two sets of bowls and chopsticks."

"No need, just eat it. We have already eaten before we came here." Feng Hao waved his hand and said.

Xuan Xiao nodded, then continued to sit down and eat.

Gu Chan glanced at Fang Tianyi and said, "Why are you coming to Kyoto instead of staying in Linzhou City?"

"I'm here to take the spring exam!" said Fang Tianyi.

"How come all women from the Diyue Country can take part in the imperial examination?" Gu Chan asked.

Fang Tianyi responded affirmatively.

Gu Chan sneered and shook her head, not wanting to bother with Fang Tianyi at all.

She was not a fool, so she knew what she could get out of the exam with Fang Tianyi's little talent and intelligence. This time, the old fox Fang He specially asked her to follow Feng Hao to Beijing, probably because he wanted her to get closer to Feng Hao.

After all, Feng Hao is the eldest son of the Feng family in Xuanyue City. In the future, it is possible that he will not only inherit the Feng family's huge business, but also inherit the position of city lord from his uncle Feng Tiance.

Therefore, no matter whether Feng Hao can make it into the top three this time, his future is promising. And if his daughter can marry such a man, it will be a hundred benefits for him with no harm.

After realizing this, Gu Chan did not say it out loud, but said to Feng Hao, "Since you are going to take the spring exam, don't come to me. Go study hard and prepare for the exam. Don't waste time."

"Sure! Our rooms are on the left and right sides of your room. It's a good opportunity for us to chat with you for a while. We'll go back to study soon." Feng Hao said with a smile.

"Shame on you, you still come and bother me." Gu Chan said angrily.

Feng Hao did not argue with her and quickly changed the subject, saying, "When you were in Xinyue City, your tactics against Chen Ruzhou were really powerful! Even the city lord Leng Qianqiu was completely controlled by you. We really admire you."

"I don't know what you are talking about." Gu Chan pretended to know nothing.

"Okay Pan'er, there are only four of us here, and there are no outsiders. Walls have no ears. You can just tell us the truth. There is no need to hide it." Fang Tianyi said with a sneer.

Gu Chan stared at the two of them without saying a word, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

Xuan Xiao felt guilty and kept his head down to eat, not daring to look up and speak.
