Chapter Summary
She has always focused her main energy on guarding against Huo Yan and Gu Yuzhu. As for Huo Yan, she couldn't guess whether he knew about it or not, and what attitude he had towards her. "Shall I go get you that gas mask?" As Butler Old Lin spoke, he looked at Huo Yan, waiting for Huo Yan's signal.
She has always focused her main energy on guarding against Huo Yan and Gu Yuzhu.
As for Huo Yan, she couldn't guess whether he knew about it or not, and what attitude he had towards her.
And on Gu Yuzhu's side.
She is clever, but not really that smart.
The trouble is that she seems to regard herself as her competitor and always focuses on her.
Gu Weiman had to be very careful about his words and actions.
Even if you guard against thieves for a thousand days, you will eventually get tired.
As for Butler Lin.
Although this person is old and experienced, he is also very smart.
But she thought that on the one hand, Butler Lin was not familiar with her, and on the other hand, he didn't care about her at all.
Judging from the temperament of Butler Lin, he is not a nosy person at all.
How could he care about the life or death of a girl who was nothing and worth nothing in his eyes?
Gu Weiman's brain, which had just calmed down, suddenly started buzzing.
In such a situation, it is almost impossible to think.
My brain is about to explode.
On the side, the old housekeeper supported her arm with a little strength.
Her body suddenly could no longer maintain the support it had held before, and she fell to the side.
Gu Weimian subconsciously supported himself on the rock wall beside him with his hands.
There was no time to look at Butler Lin, nor was there any time to think about whether Butler Lin did it intentionally or unintentionally.
She held on, using her last bit of strength to explain,
"The smell in this cave is so bad. It feels even stronger than last time. I feel a little dizzy."
Steward Lin asked gently,
"Is it just the smell?"
His voice was neither hurried nor slow.
"Shall I go get you that gas mask?"
As Butler Old Lin spoke, he looked at Huo Yan, waiting for Huo Yan's signal.
Huo Yan narrowed his eyes.
"Go get it."
Gu Weimian's pupils shrank and he looked at Huo Yan.
Huo Yan did it on purpose...
The two looked at each other.
Gu Weimian smiled.
"Is that okay? It won't delay the sacrifice, right?"
Butler Lin also smiled and said, "No, I'm just an idler here. I have nothing to do anyway. Being able to help Miss Huo makes me, an old guy, seem not so useless after all."
He always spoke slowly.
When he said he would get a gas mask for Gu Weiman, he just waved towards the corner.
A bodyguard in black suddenly appeared from the corner, followed the instructions of Butler Lin, turned around and quickly went to look for the mask.
Gu Weimian's face was stiff.
Not far away, Huo Yan stood in front of the ice coffin, facing her direction, looking at her quietly.
What is he thinking about?
Are you doubting her?
At this moment, she couldn't figure out what to say.
All I could do was watch as the situation spiraled out of control.
No one spoke for more than a minute.
Until the bodyguard took out the gas mask and handed it to Gu Weimian.
Gu Weimian didn't move.
It’s not that I don’t want to.
But I can't move at all.
The bodyguard whispered:
"Do you need me to bring it for you?"
Gu Weimian's fingers trembled slightly, and a stiff smile appeared on his face.
"Please."
My heart sank.
But there is no other choice.
"I'll do it." The man's low voice suddenly sounded.
Gu Weiman's body stiffened.
It was Huo Yan's voice.
In her sight, the man was walking towards her with big strides. His black phoenix eyes were blurred by the flickering firelight, making it impossible to discern the man's true emotions.
