Gu Linlin groggily opened her eyes, heard a sound at the door, and looked around to see that it was just getting light. She wondered, "Who went out so early?"

Thinking it over, he put on his coat and went outside. But he saw Gu Yixian carrying a bamboo basket and luggage, leaving in that blood-stained clothes…

"Third Sister? Third Sister!" Gu Linlin hurriedly chased after her, grabbing Gu Yixian's arm. "Third Sister, where are you going?"

Gu Yixian's gaze was icy as she glanced at Gu Linlin, her voice hoarse, "Wait for him..."

he?

Gu Linlin naturally knew who Gu Yixian meant by "him".

"If you're not waiting for him at home, where are you going to wait for him?" Gu Linlin asked anxiously.

She was also worried about Gu Liyan not returning, but she had fully understood that some things cannot be obtained by force. Moreover, Gu Yixian was, after all, her sister, and her appearance was truly pitiful.

"Go home...go home and wait for him..."

Thinking of Gu Liyan, a smile suddenly appeared on Gu Yixian's stiff face.

"Isn't this your home?" Gu Linlin asked anxiously.

"This isn't his home! This isn't his house!" Gu Yixian suddenly exclaimed angrily. "This isn't his home!"

Seeing Gu Yixian's emotional fluctuations, Gu Linlin quickly comforted her, saying, "Okay, okay, I understand. I'll tell Father where you're going."

Gu Yixian stood there without speaking, while Gu Linlin hurriedly turned and went to tell Gu Changge. But as soon as Gu Linlin left, Gu Yixian turned and left with a cold expression. She wanted to go back to the wooden house to wait for him; only there was their home!

At this moment, Gu Liyan—

"I know the situation is urgent, but I really can't leave!" Mo Yan said anxiously, holding the Nine Springs Token.

“Now that he’s awake, he’ll be fine. You should know what’s more important!” Mo Han’s voice came from the Nine Springs Token, cold and ruthless, leaving no room for argument.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan flew into a rage and reprimanded him in a low voice, "Gu Changyuan, he is still your junior brother! Have you forgotten the bond between you?!"

"Hmph, if I knew he was the culprit, I wouldn't have paid him any attention!" Mo Han said angrily.

"You—" Mo Yan was furious.

"Stop talking nonsense, this is an order! Come back immediately!"

After saying that, the Nine Springs Decree fell silent.

Gu Yan sighed. Gu Liyan hadn't even regained his mobility yet, and Mo Han was already in a hurry to recall him. It was truly difficult to have both options...

Just then, Gu Liyan's voice suddenly rang out, "Father, is that... Senior Brother..."

Gu Yan turned her head, looked at the cute little white fox who was looking up at her, nodded, and walked forward. "Oh, it's him..."

"Senior brother... hasn't he forgiven me yet?" Gu Liyan asked, her voice low.

Gu Yan opened his mouth and said, "Don't worry, he just can't accept it right now."

Gu Liyan lowered his head. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't given Master that idea when I was young, this wouldn't have happened..."

That day, Gu Liyan overheard their conversation and learned the reason for their feud. He immediately realized that the whole thing started because of him.

He proposed a plan to change people's hearts to Gu Yan.

He changed Gu Changyuan's fate.

It turns out that everything...

It's all his fault!

He couldn't bear to watch Gu Yan suffer the punishment in his place, so he gritted his teeth and rushed into the magic array to endure the Nine Heavens Thunder—

Seeing Gu Liyan's disappointed expression, Mo Yan comforted her, "Don't worry, Xiao Li. Your senior brother doesn't hold grudges. Once you've recovered and returned to the Nine Springs Realm, you can explain to him. He might forget about it and forgive you then."

Gu Liyan nodded and smiled, "That's right, my senior brother loves me the most, he won't hate me!"

Although that's what they say, but...

Gu Liyan naturally understood this very well.

Would Gu Changyuan not hate him?

He's hated this for hundreds of years!

In the end, I realized I had hated the wrong person.

How could I not hate it?

Gu Yan smiled and nodded, "Yes, your senior brother dotes on you the most."

Gu Liyan looked at Gu Yan and suddenly asked, "Father, I just heard that my senior brother summoned you back. Has something strange happened in the Nine Springs Realm again?"

Gu Yan's expression changed slightly. "You heard everything? It's alright, you don't need to worry about this."

Gu Liyan frowned, his eyes filled with worry. "My senior brother has just become the acting world lord. There must be many people who don't obey his orders. Father, you should go back and help him!"

Gu Yan pursed her lips. Just as Gu Liyan had said, Gu Changyuan had indeed encountered trouble, which was why he wanted to return to her. But…

"Xiao Li, you haven't regained your mobility yet, and you can't transform into human form. We can't afford to make any more mistakes during this critical time!" Gu Yan said worriedly.

Gu Liyan shook his head. "I'm fine. As long as you cover the cave with vines, no one will find it."

Gu Yan hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Alright then... I'll change your dressing again and hide the cave entrance for you. I'll come back in a few days and change your dressing again."

Gu Liyan nodded.

After tending to Gu Liyan's wounds, Gu Yan looked at him with concern and said, "I will return soon. You should rest well."

Gu Liyan nodded. "Understood."

After Gu Yan left, only Gu Liyan remained in the cold cave.

"Yiyi...you must hate me for abandoning you again..." Thinking of his sudden departure, Gu Liyan couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart. He had broken his promise to Gu Yixian once again—

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye. Although Gu Liyan has regained her mobility, Gu Yan has not returned even once during this period.
