Seeing Gu Li's gloomy face, Gu Liyan hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Master, that's your uncle! How could you..." Gu Liyan wanted to say something more, but Gu Yan turned around and glared at him, so he didn't dare to speak for a moment.

Gu Yan coldly looked at Gu Liyan, "Do you even have the right to speak here! You secretly ran down the mountain without reporting it, and you can't escape the crime of your martial uncle leading people up the mountain!"

Gu Liyan was so frightened by Gu Yan that she trembled all over and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Gu Li frowned and pointed at Gu Yan, cursing, "Gu Yan, that's enough! This was my idea and has nothing to do with Xiao Li. If you want to settle a personal score, come at me!"

Gu Yan glared coldly at Gu Liyan, then turned to Gu Li and sneered, "Hmph, I wouldn't stoop to settling a personal score with you. The rules were set by you and me together. You broke the rules today, so why are you blaming me? Are you a sore loser, afraid of losing face?"

“You…” Gu Li was so angry that he was practically fuming.

Gu Yan snorted and continued, "Hmph, also, Gu Liyan is my disciple, how I teach him is my business! Don't think I don't know you secretly taught him your self-created sword technique..."

Staring at Gu Liyan, he coldly said, "If you really feel that your master can't teach you anything, then you can leave the mountain on your own!"

Gu Liyan lowered his head and dared not speak; it was naturally impossible for him to leave the mountain.

"You..." Gu Li was so angry that he wanted to argue with him, but Luo Zichen stepped forward and said, "Ayan, don't blame A Li. Whether it was the past or the present, it's all my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

Gu Yan glanced at Luo Zichen, remained silent for a few seconds, then shook his head, his tone softening. "What good is blaming you? People who are gone can never come back. We all understand that. Since Man'er has left you forever, and left us forever, let's end all our gratitude with her!"

Luo Zichen smiled bitterly. "I know you're resentful and blame me for not taking good care of her. I admit it's all my fault; I didn't step in to stop it in time..."

Gu Yan frowned and said coldly, "Let's not talk about the past! Just remember, Thousand Absolute Mountain has no contact with mortals, and mortals are not allowed to climb the mountain! You'd better get off the mountain as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Gu Yan turned her back, not wanting to look at any of them anymore.

Luo Zichen hurriedly spoke up, "Ayan, my second sister and I don't have much time left. Now that we've finally reunited, you won't even give us a chance to apologize?"

Gu Yan stopped and sneered, "Ha, how ridiculous! What do your mortal affairs have to do with me? If apologies were enough... would you be able to bring Man'er back?"

The cold, heartless words from the ancient text brought tears to Luo Zichen's eyes, leaving her choked with sobs and unable to speak. Li Erniang comforted her, "This has nothing to do with your elder sister; it's my fault for not informing you..."

"Enough! I don't want to hear about the past anymore. You all need to disappear from my sight immediately!" Gu Yan said coldly.

Luo Zichen and the other dared not speak again. Yan Muxue couldn't stand it anymore and pointed at Gu Yan, scolding, "It's clearly you who failed to save your woman, why blame my eldest and second grandmothers? If you ask me, it's your own incompetence!"

Gu Yan shuddered and felt a sudden, inexplicable pain in his heart. He turned his head and looked coldly at Yan Muxue, "Say it again if you dare!"

"I..." Yan Muxue was so frightened that she shrank to the side and hid behind Gu Liyan, pushing Gu Liyan out.

Gu Liyan looked completely innocent. "Why did you push me out here?! I can't beat my master!"

Gu Yan looked coldly at Gu Liyan. "What? You agree with her point of view too?"

"I……"

Can I say I'm not familiar with this brat?

Before Gu Liyan could finish speaking, Yan Muxue urged, "Hurry up and say something for me! Do you still want to marry me?"

Upon hearing Yan Muxue's words, Gu Liyan felt a chill run down his spine and thought to himself: It's over!

Gu Yan moved swiftly and appeared in front of Gu Liyan. "She said you're marrying her? What's going on?"

"I, I, I..." Gu Liyan was too anxious to speak.

Yan Moxue immediately offered a helpful suggestion:

"This guy flirted with me, saying he'd take responsibility for me and marry me!"

Gu Liyan cursed inwardly: When did I ever say that?!

Before he could even open his mouth to explain, he felt a blur before his eyes and was sent flying backward. He crashed into a tree and fell heavily to the ground, completely disoriented. He lay there groaning in pain, his body feeling like it was falling apart, unable to move.

Yan Muxue was terrified. She had barely finished speaking when Gu Liyan was sent flying in front of her, crashing heavily to the ground with a thud...

Luo Zichen and Li Erniang were both dumbfounded, their legs went weak and they staggered in fright.

Gu Li pointed at Gu Yan and yelled, "Gu Yan, are you crazy? That's your disciple! How could you be so cruel!"

"You know this is my disciple? Then why are you teaching him things you shouldn't be teaching him?" Gu Yan sneered.

"You won't teach me yourself, and you won't let me teach you either? What kind of teacher are you!" Gu Li was furious.

"Then it's none of your business!" Gu Yan coldly looked at Gu Liyan lying on the ground and said, "His life and death, as well as his marriage, are matters for me to decide! You have no right to meddle!"

Gu Li wanted to say something more, but Gu Liyan limped to his feet and said weakly, "That's right, my marriage... is decided by my master... If my master doesn't agree, I... I won't marry her..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yan looked at Gu Liyan, whose face was pale and covered in cold sweat, and felt a pang of heartache for him, but she did not say anything to inquire about his injuries.

Yan Muxue trembled with fear and burst into tears, "Waaaaah, I won't marry him! Grandma, Grandma, let's go home! I'm so scared... Waaaaah..."

Yan Muxue threw herself into Luo Zichen's arms, sobbing as she poured out her heart. Luo Zichen silently shed tears without saying a word, while Li Erniang shook her head helplessly, "Alright, elder sister, let's go."
