"Xiao Feng hasn't forgotten!" Wu Wenfeng said earnestly, "Brother, I have always kept your words in mind. You said: 'When the world is drunk, I am sober; when the world is awake, I drink alone; when the world forgets, I think alone; when the world hates, I am enlightened alone!' I will spend my whole life trying to understand what you said, Brother!"

Mo Chen nodded. "It's good that you remember. Just remember never to look at things through the eyes of others. Use your own eyes and your own heart to see the world..."

Wu Wenfeng nodded, then looked at Mo Chen with some confusion and asked, "Big brother, did you have a fight with Brother Gu?"

Mo Chen was slightly taken aback. "Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters!"

"You had a fight with Brother Gu!" Wu Wenfeng plopped down in a chair. "Brother Gu waited for you for a long time yesterday, and didn't sleep all night. I overheard him talking to Brother Jin about the election, and Brother Gu got very angry, saying he wouldn't tell you..."

Wu Wenfeng was thinking about what he had vaguely heard last night.

"What? What happened to the election? Why didn't you tell me?" Mo Chen immediately became anxious.

"I didn't hear that clearly either... I was half asleep at the time, and only caught the gist of it... Anyway, there are some things they don't want you to know..." Wu Wenfeng said blankly.

Mo Chen's face darkened. Thinking about Gu Liyan's words about terminating the contract, he was furious. "Does this guy even know who the companion weapon is?!"

Mo Chen got up and decided to go and talk to Gu Liyan again to get things cleared up.

Seeing Mo Chen's unusual anger, Wu Wenfeng hurriedly said, "Hey, big brother, don't say I told you!"

...

Gu Liyan was sitting in the hall, pondering how to pass the election, when he suddenly felt a chilling killing intent wash over him, and his heart tightened for no apparent reason.

But then came Mo Chen, who arrived in a hurry with an angry expression.

Gu Liyan asked first, somewhat puzzled, "Mo Chen, why is there such a big fire?"

"Gu Liyan, what exactly do you mean?!" Mo Chen berated him directly, "I trusted you so much, yet you've hidden things from me. Where do you place me?!"

Gu Liyan was puzzled. "What are you talking about?"

"Are you still trying to hide it from me?"

"What are you talking about?" Gu Liyan frowned slightly, looking puzzled.

"You..." Before Mo Chen could continue speaking, the array outside the door fluctuated, and Gu Liyan suddenly frowned as he looked at the person who had entered.

Jin Yi, covered in blood, stepped through the gate and collapsed to the ground.

Gu Liyan's expression changed drastically. He moved swiftly to Jin Yi's side and helped him up. "Jin Yi! Are you alright?"

Jin Yi, panting heavily, grabbed Gu Liyan and said, "Lord Gu... quick, run away..."

As he spoke, Jin's head lolled to the side and he fainted.
