Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 241 Blind Gu Ping

Gu Yuan knew he couldn't stop everyone's enthusiasm for eating fish, and besides, these fish were originally raised by that cruel woman, so they deserved to be eaten.

So he took the initiative to go back to his small courtyard to get the tools and seasonings needed for grilling fish, and also took the tonics he was carrying back to put away.

Before leaving, Su Yue repeatedly reminded him to come back quickly.

After confirming that no one was around, Su Yue carefully took out a small packet of marinating ingredients from her personal space.

Just as she was cleaning the fish, Gu Yuan rushed back.

By this time, the fire was lit, and the fish was placed on the rack to be grilled.

As time ticked by, the enticing aroma of the grilled fish quickly filled the air.

The rich aroma seemed to have a magical power, drawing the three people's eyes to the golden-brown, crispy, and glistening fish, their mouths watering so much they were practically drooling.

However, they were completely unaware that at that very moment, a person was lying quietly in that secluded pavilion.

Inside that elegant pavilion lay a man who was feeling extremely bored from being confined indoors all day.

This person was not only depressed, but also had poor eyesight, so he could only come to this pavilion to bask in the warm sun.

On ordinary days, when people come here to sunbathe, they rarely see even a single person.

However, today was different. He had only been lying down for a short while when he was suddenly awakened from his daze by an alluring fragrance.

Gu Ping slowly sat up straight, his nostrils twitching slightly as he tried to pinpoint the exact source of the fragrance.

He quickly realized that the fragrance was very close by.

Moreover, judging from the faint sounds coming from the surroundings, it seemed that three people were active not far away.

Thinking of this, Gu Ping sighed inwardly: Well, since someone has already arrived here, I should leave first to avoid disturbing their peace.

They were also afraid that if it turned out to be Gu Chuan, he would turn around and accuse them again.

So he slowly stood up, stretched out his hands and carefully felt his way forward, preparing to walk out of the pavilion.

Just then, Su Yue's ears twitched, and she keenly caught the faint sound of someone moving around.

Her heart tightened, wondering if the servants in the manor had already noticed her grilling fish and were about to report it to Lord Gu.

Thinking of this, she didn't have time to think further and immediately ran towards the direction from which the footsteps came, shouting, "Who is it? Come out quickly!"

Gu Ping's heart tightened, and he realized something was wrong; he had been discovered so quickly.

A thought flashed through his mind: I absolutely mustn't be discovered!

In his panic, Gu Ping didn't care whether he could see the road clearly and started running forward.

Due to blurred vision, he nearly crashed into the railing in front of him, stumbled, and was about to plunge headfirst into the icy water.

At this critical moment, a figure rushed over like lightning.

It turned out to be Su Yue. With quick reflexes, she reached out and grabbed Gu Ping's arm, pulling him back from the brink of drowning.

Once Gu Ping had regained his footing, Su Yue finally had a chance to examine the person in front of her closely.

The man's face bore a resemblance to Gu Yuanjing's, but his skin was exceptionally fair, which gave him a slightly effeminate air.

"Why are you running?" Su Yue asked as she helped the person up.

However, when faced with Su Yue's questioning, Gu Ping lowered his head and remained silent.

So Su Yue raised her voice and asked again, "I'm asking you a question! Why are you running away?"

At this moment, Su Yue had already guessed the identity of this person; he must be Gu Yuan's second brother.

After all, those eyes were just too conspicuous.

Hearing that the voice of the person asking the question was not Gu Chuan's, but an unfamiliar voice, Gu Ping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After a brief moment of shock, he quickly came to his senses and made up an excuse on the spot, saying, "I...I didn't run away. I just suddenly remembered that I hadn't had time to take my medicine, so I walked a little faster."

After saying this, Gu Ping secretly prayed that this reason would get him away with it.

Upon hearing this, Su Yue frowned slightly, clearly not entirely believing Gu Ping's explanation.

But then she rolled her eyes and came up with a plan, saying, "Alright! If that's the case, then forget it."

However, now that you've discovered we've been grilling fish from the water here, if we let you leave, there's no guarantee you won't report us to someone else.

Therefore, to prevent this from happening, you must stay and eat these fish with us. Only after we've finished eating can I let you go without worry.

Su Yue pondered to herself, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Maybe I can take this opportunity to win over Gu Yuan's second brother."

After all, grilled fish is more fun to eat with friends.

Gu Ping explained sincerely, "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone! And to tell you the truth, my eyesight isn't very good. Even if I was there, I couldn't see who it was at all."

However, before Gu Ping could finish speaking, Su Yue interrupted him without hesitation and said firmly, "That won't do! Since you've already heard my voice, you have to eat this fish before you're allowed to leave."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Yue gave Gu Ping no chance to explain further. She reached out and pulled him directly behind the pavilion.

Upon arriving at the location, Su Yue quickly looked around and soon found a relatively flat large rock.

She gently nudged Gu Ping, gesturing for him to sit down.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yue picked out a piece of tender fish meat with almost no bones from the plate in her hand.

He handed it to Gu Ping, gently urging, "Eat it quickly, this piece of meat has no fish bones at all."

Seeing this, Gu Yuan, who was standing to the side, quickly pulled Su Yue aside and pointed in the direction of Gu Ping, looking puzzled as if asking why he had brought this person over.

Su Yue did not answer Gu Yuan's silent question.

She first pointed at Gu Ping, then at Gu Yuan herself, and finally slowly extended two fingers.

After completing these actions, Su Yue ignored Gu Yuan, who looked somewhat nervous, and turned her attention back to the remaining half of the fish in her hand.

She skillfully cut the fish in half and handed one half to Gu Yuan.

Su Yue and Dali then began eating another fish.
