Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

but……

There was one thing that really puzzled her.

"When did you find out I wasn't Qingyu?"

From start to finish.

The young man before her showed no surprise whatsoever at her true identity.

It was as if they had expected it all along.

The boy slowly stood up.

He brushed away the light dust from the hem of his clothes and said calmly.

"Well."

"You disguised yourself very well; there were almost no flaws."

"But... there's that missing bit of that 'telepathic' feeling, you understand?"

"So I sensed something was wrong from the moment we boarded the ship."

People.

If you look at it with a skeptical eye.

That would leave flaws everywhere.

Shock gradually appeared in Gu Beihan's originally cold and beautiful eyes.

and so.

Was everything that just happened just a game that the boy in front of me was playing with?

Thinking about what I've done.

Even the usually calm and aloof Gu Beihan couldn't hold back anymore.

"pity."

"Ok?"

Gu Beihan's expression calmed down in an instant.

The longsword in his hand, as sharp as autumn water and startled as a swan, suddenly emitted a clear and melodious ringing sound.

The sound waves spread outwards.

In an instant, the entire lake seemed to resonate with the same feeling.

The buzzing sound continued.

It seems to have a direct and profound impact on people's hearts.

Gu Beihan said quietly.

"Young Master Su."

You don't think I'd fall in the same place twice, do you?

She didn't know why the Rejuvenating Powder had no effect on the young man in front of her.

But Her Highness did not overlook this possibility.

after all.

Her last failure stemmed from her inability to administer the drug.

this time.

All the previous arrangements were just a facade.

The real purpose was to lay the groundwork for this "Requiem"!

Requiem.

Forbidden techniques of the immortal sects.

It can communicate with the power of heaven and earth and imprison the soul of those who enter the formation.

Moreover, its power lies in the fact that by the time you become aware of its presence, the Requiem has already been playing in your ears a thousand times over.

There was no time to resist!

If it weren't for the purpose of secretly setting up this formation.

She wouldn't have spent so long dealing with Su Qing.

Also, also...

Forget it.

Just don’t mention it!

Gu Beihan didn't waste any more words.

The clear, resonant sound of a lone sword echoed in waves.

The formation is complete.

She looked at the boy.

I hoped to see a hint of surprise and fear on the face of this boy who was always calm and composed, seemingly always confident.

However she was disappointed.

Su Qing crossed her arms.

Leaning quietly against the deck.

There was not a trace of fear on that face that could definitely be called a top-tier handsome young man.

The boy's lips.

Instead, he wore a sarcastic smile.

The immediate crisis.

In his eyes, it seemed to be completely insignificant!

Gu Beihan's heart skipped a beat.

But how is this possible?

The Requiem is a forbidden technique.

The problem lies in the fact that those within the formation cannot break free on their own, regardless of their strength.

This formation can even trap Master!

Why isn't he afraid?

Why shouldn't he be afraid?!

The young man said quietly.

I feel sorry for you.

Varied……

pity?

Gu Beihan's mind wavered for a moment.

They quickly regained their resolve.

No.

impossible.

He's just bluffing.

Full power!

The sword's cry propelled the silent, undulating waves to spread outwards.

moment.

It was as if countless threads were sweeping towards Su Qing in the very center.

Just as I was about to meet the boy.

in the air.

Suddenly, a melodious zither tune rang out.

The sound of the zither was clear and melodious, as if it came from beyond the heavens.

The strength of a requiem lies in its resonance.

But the resonance in that zither music far surpassed the sound of Gu Beihan's sword!

moment.

Gu Beihan thought the Requiem was unbreakable, but it was easily and completely suppressed by the music!

When those menacing soul-suppressing threads landed on the boy, they simply turned into a gentle breeze.

It wasn't even enough to lift a corner of Su Qing's clothes.

Gu Beihan finally revealed an expression of undisguised astonishment.

This is……

A graceful figure walked across the water.

Her hair was as black as ink, as thick as a waterfall.

Her waist-length hair gently swept across the lotus leaves.

It was imbued with the fragrance of grass and trees.

The white skirt hem resembled clouds reflected in clear water under a clear sky, light and graceful.

The newcomer was carrying an ancient, black guqin (a seven-stringed zither).

Step by step.

Walking slowly.

He truly resembles the god of the Luo River!

Upon seeing that face so strikingly similar to his own, Gu Beihan finally couldn't help but murmur.

"Qingyu..."

Gu Qingyu loosened her grip.

The guqin disappeared from her hands.

"Did you break the Requiem?"

Luo Shen slowly stood beside Su Qing. The little girl who had always followed behind her like a little shadow had unknowingly changed completely.

She nodded her chin and said.

"Yes."

"Sister, you're wrong."

The two of them stood together.

Gu Beihan knew exactly what was going on.

It turns out from the very beginning.

He had already fallen into the trap the moment he approached Qingyu.

But why?

Gu Beihan didn't understand, and his eyes wavered slightly.

"I am your older sister."

"Instead of helping me, you're plotting against me?"

"elder sister."
