Nangong Mo suddenly abandoned the portrait he had always valued, leaving Gu Qiusha utterly baffled.

This... keeping another man’s portrait at home "as a keepsake," is that appropriate?

Gu Yuzhi’s face darkened: "Mr. Bo truly acts with reckless abandon, freely attending other people’s weddings and then leaving as he pleases, asking for a painting only to reject it. Do you think only your time is precious, and everyone else’s is worthless?"

"Brother, don’t say that..." Gu Qiusha said with a headache, trying to mediate, "Mr. Bo, please don’t misunderstand..."

Nangong Mo coldly snorted: "My time is precious; I have no time to bicker with ants."

After speaking, he glanced in Gu Jingyan’s direction, his gaze deepened slightly, and after pausing for a few seconds, a playful smile appeared at the corner of his lips. He casually picked up a wine glass, took a sip, and walked into the crowd at the banquet.

Gu Yuzhi frowned and looked at Gu Jingyan: "How did you end up with this guy? Did he bring you back?"

Gu Jingyan mumbled an "um," his gaze following where Nangong Mo had previously looked. Only to see Zuzi standing by Mr. Gu, instructing the servant on something before gracefully walking over.

Amidst the bright red festive background, Zuzi remained in her pristine gauze dress, as ethereal as a fairy.

Gu Jingyan’s vision blurred for a moment, as if scenes from his dream were resurfacing. He heard a warm, gentle female voice calling him "Brother..." and reaching out for an embrace.

"Brother..." Gu Qiusha shouted happily, interrupting his reverie, "Brother, Zuzi convinced Mr. Gu to go home and rest first. The banquet is too noisy; I’m worried he can’t handle it. Luckily, he listened to Zuzi. Even if he doesn’t go to the hospital, going home for the family doctor to attend to him is reassuring, right?"

It turned out Gu Qiusha was discussing with Zuzi and Gu Yuzhi on how to settle the recently sick Mr. Gu.

Gu Jingyan lowered his head, suppressing the dream he couldn’t share with others, and Nangong Mo’s earlier words echoed in his ears:

"Who exactly are you? Why not give it a try and find out?"

"What, are you afraid? Scared to die?"

"This matter ultimately requires willingness; you can’t force it."

"Come find me when you’ve made up your mind. I’ll take you to see the truth you’re seeking."

This secret dream, someone in this world had glimpsed it and even suggested that the dream could become reality!

Who could resist such temptation?

Even knowing Nangong Mo is not a good person, even aware this might be a deceptive trap, would he regret not trying for a lifetime?

His mind was a battleground of conflicting thoughts.

Then he heard Chen Long reporting to Zuzi: "Miss Zuzi, we’ve discovered that Nangong Mo did not run into Mr. Bao after leaving the banquet tonight. Instead, on his way home, he coincidentally met Mr. Gu at the museum entrance and then brought him back. It was rash of me to suspect him earlier..."

Gu Jingyan frowned deeply, not remembering how he ended up at the Imperial Capital Museum during the wedding banquet.

The museum was exhibiting relics unearthed from "Fu Xi’s Tomb," and he got so engrossed he lost track of time, only realizing he missed tonight’s wedding banquet when he left at closing.

Indeed, he stumbled upon Nangong Mo at the entrance.

But the things Nangong Mo said to him were far from a coincidence!

Nangong Mo knew about his curiosity and concern for Fu Xi’s identity, even proposed to take him to see the real Nuwa’s Tomb!

Heaven knows he hasn’t fully processed that shock.

He had the privilege of participating in archaeological explorations at both Fu Xi Palace and Pangu Tomb sites right from the start.

If Nuwa’s Tomb also comes to light, he’ll practically witness all the most crucial relics from the Empire’s ancient era firsthand.

It’s merely an archaeological expedition to Nuwa’s Tomb, and verifying the truth of the fairy in his dreams... It’s not like he’s going to die, what is there to fear?

His confidence suddenly surged, and Gu Jingyan took a deep breath, preparing to walk towards Nangong Mo.

Ready to tell him, he agreed.

Willing to go on the adventure to the tomb together with him!
