Seventeen: Retreat as Advance

  Seventeen: Retreat as Advance

  Gu Ling Han glanced in the direction where Luo Tian was hiding, a flash of murderous intent flickered in his eyes, but Luo Tian still saw it.

  Luo Tian met Gu Ling Han for the first time today, and he thought he had not offended him in any way. Moreover, Luo Tian was still using the fake name "Kong Xi", and he had no connection with Gu Ling Han at all.

  So Luo Tian was very puzzled as to why Gu Ling Han's eyes would have a murderous intent.

  Gu Ling Han said to Gu Hua Jun, "I'll give you three more days to consider. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, you know what the consequences will be!"

  After finishing speaking, Gu Ling Han left.

  Gu Huajun's eyebrows were furrowed, as if she was worried about something.

  Luotian couldn't help but walk forward, yet didn't dare get too close, and simply accompanied Gu Huajun in silence for a while.

  Gu Huajun knew that Luo Tian was not far behind him, but he didn't turn his head back. Instead, he used a voice transmission to say to Luo Tian: "Stay away from Gu Linghan, he's someone you'll never be able to beat, a scumbag."

  Luo Tian hastily agreed and then asked: Aren't you going to see Old Madam? She misses you.

  Gu Huajun couldn't help but laugh: Think of me? You mean think of killing me, right?

  Luotian really can't understand their relationship, it looks simple but is actually complicated to the point of being incomprehensible.

  After thinking for a while, Luo Tian decided to mind his own business and not interfere with other people's affairs.

  Gu Huajun walked away into the distance, saying to Luo Tian: "There are forty-eight mechanisms set up in Gu Jixue's study. You can try to figure them out and then go in; it won't be too late."

  Forty-eight passes? Luo Tian was stunned. How could he possibly make it through? That night, if not for Xi Kong, he might not have even made it past the first pass.

  Luò Tiān suddenly lost his spirit.

  If Xikong were here, Luo Tian believed he would definitely be able to get through these forty-eight mechanisms.

  Gu Hua Jun actually wanted to help Luo Tian figure out these mechanisms, but unfortunately he was now struggling to save himself and couldn't care about Luo Tian anymore.

  Luo Tian returned to the courtyard of the eighth lady just in time to see Gu Ji Xue walking out of the bedroom, his face still carrying a hint of sadness, but to Luo Tian it seemed fake.

  "Prime Minister, Kong Xi has a matter to request, I wonder if you would be willing to listen to my humble words?" Luo Tian intercepted Gu Ji Xue who was about to leave.

  Gu Ji Xue saw Luo Tian and couldn't help but think of the fact that he had missed the opportunity to rescue his concubine earlier because of his interrogation, so his tone was very unfriendly. "Speak."

  Luo Tian said, "Kong Xi's learning is shallow and he cannot cure my wife's illness. Moreover, it's too late to rescue the Eighth Lady. I know I am guilty and unworthy of this great position, so I request to leave the Prime Minister's residence."

  Upon hearing this, Gu Jixue became somewhat anxious. Judging from Luo Tian's ability to recognize the Ink Poison Powder, it was clear that he was a talented individual. Gu Jixue loved talent as much as his own life and would absolutely not allow Luo Tian to leave.

  Gu Ji Xue said, "Gong Daifu is serious, it's me who has hindered Gong Daifu's medical treatment. I hereby appoint Gong Daifu as the imperial physician of the prime minister's mansion, from today on, except for me, Gong Daifu doesn't need to listen to anyone else."

  One move to retreat and advance, Luo Tian did not expect that he really got what he wanted, so he also didn't decline, "Kong Xi was grateful and vowed not to disappoint the Prime Minister's kindness."

  Luo Tian was overjoyed, he could finally leave that other courtyard behind.

  In a daze, Luo Tian felt that he was one step closer to the truth.
