Gu Yu knew what Cheng Xi meant. According to the plan, they wanted to use Devon’s energy to extend Lily’s life. Cheng Xi was afraid that they would kill Devon.
In Cheng Xi’s opinion, it was fine if she died, as long as Lily could be saved. However, Devon was the key to saving Lily now. Nothing must happen to him.
Gu Yu also began to hesitate. On one hand, he was worried about Lily, and on the other hand, he was worried about Cheng Xi. Although Devon said that he loved Cheng Xi, he was afraid that he would not care about anything at the moment of life and death. If he attacked, he might also kill her.
Yunbao didn’t dare to move when she saw that Fourth Uncle didn’t attack, but she stared fiercely at Devon to express her dissatisfaction, as if that cute face could scare him.
Devon thought that his words had frightened them. He smiled and said, “As long as you let us go, I naturally won’t touch her. Otherwise, we will die here together. ”
Yunbao couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Aunt Cheng Xi won’t be willing to die with you. We’ll bring her home to Sister Lily. You don’t remember Sister Lily at all.”
“Daughter?” Devon asked as if he’d just heard a joke. “She’s not my daughter. She’s just a monster I created with potions. She shouldn’t exist in this world. Without my potions, she’ll die quickly. Only a child with the same blood as mine is my daughter.”
After saying that, he looked at Cheng Xi affectionately and said, “When I take you away, we will have a child soon. At that time, you will forget Lily.”
“You’re dreaming. Lily is my daughter. I won’t forget her no matter what.” Cheng Xi gritted her teeth.
At this moment, Cheng Xi secretly made up her mind that if she was really unlucky enough to be taken away, she would definitely not give birth to a child. Children from such a family would suffer when they were born.
Yunbao was disgusted by Devon, but she could not deal with him for a moment.
Yunbao was so anxious that she stomped her feet.
Gu Yu also began to think of a way. He couldn’t really let Devon take Cheng Xi away. After crossing this sea, it would be a foreign country. At that time, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to capture him.
Just as he was at a loss, Gu Yu had a flash of inspiration. He held Yunbao’s small hand and said, “Listen to my thoughts.”
Yunbao quickly chanted the incantation of the mind-reading technique and listened to what Fourth Uncle was saying in his heart. After hearing it, she looked at Gu Yu in shock.
Gu Yu nodded with a smile. Then, the two of them looked at Devon in unison. He immediately grabbed Cheng Xi’s hand to ensure his safety.
Gu Yu said, “As long as you’re willing to hand over the potion to save Lily, I can let you go.”
“I don’t believe it. It’s impossible for you to give up on Cheng Xi,” Devon said unmoved.
Gu Yu smiled. “Then you’re wrong. In order to lure you out, our Gu family announced that we would give Cheng Xi 1% of the shares. To a family like ours, even 0.00% of the shares is very important. It affects the change of the largest shareholder. As long as Cheng Xi leaves the Gu family with you, we can naturally take back the shares. Lily is a good seedling who studies magic. If she stays, she can protect Yunbao in the future.”
Every word sounded reasonable. Devon was tempted. Lily was not important to him at all. As long as he could take Cheng Xi away and hand over the potion, it was fine. He was afraid that Gu Yu was lying to him.
Before he could hesitate, Cheng Xi struggled and shouted, “You can’t treat me like this. I’m Gu Teng’s best friend. If I can’t go back, she’ll be sad. I don’t want to leave with Devon!”
Cheng Xi began to get agitated. She was already on the verge of anger at Gu Yu’s words. Her reaction made Devon believe her. If they had discussed it in advance, Cheng Xi would not have such a reaction.
Devon nodded. “I’ll give you the potion as long as you let me go, but only after I get to the beach.”
Of course, Gu Yu agreed and said, “I only want the potion that can save Lily.
After you leave, I’ll announce to the public that Cheng Xi died in an accident. At that time, it’s none of my business where you go.”
Gu Yu’s expression was very casual when she said this. Devon also felt that the Gu family’s young master would not take Cheng Xi to heart. He had helped Cheng Xi only because of Gu Teng.
He pulled Cheng Xi and quickly ran to the seaside. Gu Yu and the others really did not attack again, but what Devon did not know was that Purple Eye was studying the spell in Cheng Xi’s hand and wanted to quickly separate the two of them.
As long as Purple Eye did not take the initiative to appear, Devon could not see her existence no matter what..
