Seeing that Gu Xun had returned to normal, Yan Dan felt relieved and replied with a smile:
"I have a friend who happened to come to visit me at this time. I hope the Imperial Master doesn't mind."
"Friends? Interesting." Gu Xun smiled playfully and asked, "Is it an old friend that His Highness Yan Dan made when he was in Yan State?"
"No." Yan Dan shook his head and said, "We only met after coming to Xianyang."
"Really..." Gu Xun murmured softly.
At this time, there were crisp footsteps outside the door. Gu Xun narrowed his eyes and looked at the door. Seeing this, Yan Lingji also looked over curiously.
A few breaths later, a familiar blue figure walked into the banquet room.
Gu Xun did not show any surprise, but quietly watched Concubine Yan walk in.
Yan Lingji twitched the corner of her mouth, her eyes suddenly narrowed into crescent moons, and she almost laughed out loud.
Good guys, the three parties are gathered together, it seems that there is still something to watch today.
Gu Xun had to glance at Yan Lingji covertly and signaled her to be more restrained.
She reluctantly let go of this opportunity to mock Gu Xun and Concubine Yan to death, and tried her best to pretend that everything was normal.
At this time, Yan Dan focused most of his attention on Concubine Yan, leaving part of his peripheral vision to pay attention to Gu Xun's expression, and happened to miss the change in Yan Lingji's expression.
Yan Dan stood up at this time, extended his hand to Concubine Yan and introduced:
"National Master, this is the friend I made after coming to Xianyang, Miss Feiyan. She was once a master of the Yin Yang family, but now she has left the sect."
Among them, the second half of the sentence that mentioned the other party's identity as a disciple of the Yin Yang family was slightly emphasized by Yan Dan, probably hinting at something in Gu Xun.
Then he introduced Concubine Yan, "Miss Feiyan, this is the Grand Master of Qin who was recently canonized by King Qin, Gu Xun, Lord Gu."
Gu Xun showed a faint smile, raised his wine glass and gestured towards Concubine Yan, and said, "Haha, long time no see...Miss Feiyan."
Concubine Yan looked at Gu Xun with her bright eyes, nodded gently, and a clear voice sounded, "It has indeed been a long time since we last seen each other. After a few months of separation, Mr. Gu has also become Gu Guoshi."
Yan Dan was really shocked at this moment.
The reason why he agreed to meet Concubine Yan at this time, and specifically in front of Gu Xun, was naturally to test some truth.
He had guessed that the two would know each other, but he didn't expect that it would be like this... a reunion after a long absence.
Could it be that these two are playing me?
Yan Dan was a little suspicious, but also felt that the two people's expressions did not seem to be fake - in a sense, they were not lying. Gu Xun and 'Fei Yan' had indeed not seen each other for a long time, almost half a year.
Now was not the time to think carefully, so Yan Dan could only put aside her speculations for the time being, laughed, and asked casually:
"Is it...possible that Miss Feiyan and the Imperial Master have known each other for a long time?"
Concubine Yan said nothing and looked at Gu Xun, waiting for his answer.
Seeing this, Gu Xun had no choice but to explain aloud, who was the one who started the conversation and said that he and Concubine Yan knew each other?
"Your Highness Yan Dan may not know, y... Miss Feiyan once stayed in Xinzheng for a period of time. At that time, she happened to be invited by Han Fei to join the Quicksand Organization he founded. That's when I met her." "But then I moved to Xianyang and lost contact with Miss Feiyan." Gu Xun said with a pretentious smile, "I didn't expect that Miss Feiyan also came to Xianyang."
Then Gu Xun deliberately asked Concubine Yan, "Speaking of which, Xianyang is the headquarters of the Yin Yang family. Since Miss Feiyan left the Yin Yang family, why did she leave Xinzheng and return to Xianyang?"
Concubine Yan's eyes flickered, and she quickly made up an excuse and said:
"Now Liusha has no time to take care of himself. If I stay in Xinzheng, not only will I not be able to rely on the power of Liusha to protect myself, but it will drag them down, so I simply left Xinzheng."
"As for Xianyang... although it is dangerous, the situation in the quicksand has made me understand that it may be difficult to find a safe place to live in the six countries of Shandong. On the contrary, there are more stable forces within the Qin State. Instead of hiding everywhere,
It’s better to go back to Xianyang.”
Concubine Yan was also very helpless. She came to Yan Dan's mansion today purely on a whim. She suddenly wanted to come and have a look, so she took action. When she came back, the god was already standing here.
Now that people are here, she can only follow Gu Xun's words and act with him.
At this time, Yan Lingji was playing with the wine glass and interjected with a half-smile:
"So, Yan Dan is another...shelter you chose after the quicksand fell?"
Yan Lingji's interruption did not surprise Yan Dan anymore. According to the information he had learned before, Yan Lingji had been with Gu Xun a long time ago, so it was not surprising that he knew Feiyan.
Concubine Yan turned to look at Yan Lingji, and first said hello in a calm and almost rhyming tone, "Ha...it turns out to be Miss Yan Lingji."
Yan Lingji didn't say anything, just looked at the other party fiercely, waiting for an answer.
Concubine Yan directly admitted this statement without hesitation and responded, "His Royal Highness Prince Dan is indeed a suitable choice. This is also the reason why I came into contact with him in the first place."
However, she still said to Yan Lingji, "What I did is just like Miss Yan Lingji giving up Tianze, the deposed prince of Baiyue, and switching to Gu Xian... Gu Guoshi."
"You..." Yan Lingji immediately became furious when she heard this.
You, a woman who acts and deceives people every day and always plays seduction, dare to mock me, who pursues true love?
Yan Lingji had such a bad temper that she couldn't even care about acting. She stood up and wanted to take action.
Fortunately, Gu Xun reached out to stop her, and at the same time reminded Concubine Yan, "Miss Feiyan, don't talk nonsense, the two are completely different."
Concubine Yan looked at Gu Xun, who was serious, with a hint of overbearing displeasure flashing in her eyes, but she did not talk about the topic again.
Yan Dan doesn't know what the connection between these three people is, but as the head of the family, he must smooth things over.
First, he laughed loudly to attract everyone's attention, and then gently persuaded:
"It's a beautiful thing that some old friends reunited today. Don't let any unhappiness happen because of a momentary slip of the tongue."
Then he said to Concubine Yan, "Miss Feiyan, please take a seat first."
Concubine Yan said nothing, nodded and sat behind the desk on the other side opposite to Gu Xun.
Of course, Yan Lingji ignored Yan Dan's peace talks, but with Gu Xun stopping her, she didn't have an attack and sat back with a cold snort.
Yan Dan continued to calm down the atmosphere and said, "Miss Yan Lingji and the Imperial Master are both talented and beautiful. They are a match made in heaven. You two will undoubtedly be a good story together."
"As for Miss Feiyan and I, we were threatened by the Yin Yang family at the same time. We are the most suitable partners. It's not about who protects the other. It's just mutual benefit."
Yan Dan's two words were able to resolve the taunting between the two women just now, but the actual effect was just average.
Concubine Yan didn't give any response, and Yan Lingji rolled her eyes and turned her head to the side, showing no intention of easing the relationship.
Gu Xun did not cooperate with Yan Dan in taking any measures to ease the atmosphere. After appeasing Yan Lingji so that she would not take action in court, he stopped moving and quietly watched the performances of Yan Dan and Yan Fei.
