Gu Yan glanced at Gu Liyan and said, "Then you should know that Xiao Li is a pure-blooded nine-tailed fox, not someone that an ordinary person can aspire to!"

Upon hearing Gu Yan's words, Yan Muxue immediately released Gu Liyan's hand and lowered her head humbly...

Seeing Yan Muxue release his hand, Gu Liyan was about to speak when he saw her release his hand. "Father!"

Gu Yan glared coldly at Gu Liyan, "If you don't listen to me this time, then don't acknowledge me as your father!"

Gu Liyan trembled upon hearing this, never expecting Gu Yan to refuse so righteously.

Yan Muxue's eyes reddened slightly. She tugged at Gu Liyan's sleeve and forced a smile, saying, "Never mind, Liyan, even if we can't be lovers, we can still..."

Yan Muxue choked back tears as she spoke, "We can be friends! Don't let me cause a rift between you and your father..."

Gu Liyan looked at Gu Yan's indifferent face, then at Yan Muxue who couldn't stop her tears, gritted her teeth, stepped forward and knelt directly in front of Gu Yan. "Father, I have no way to repay your kindness in raising me, but I have promised Xue'er that I will never let go of her hand in this lifetime..."

Gu Yan stared wide-eyed at Gu Liyan, immediately understanding what he wanted to say, and hurriedly interrupted him, "Gu Liyan, how dare you!"

Gu Liyan gritted his teeth and said, "Your unfilial son cannot make a choice between the two, so Xiao Li can only..."

"Shut up!" Gu Yan was so angry that he trembled all over. He flipped his hand and Jiu Chen transformed into a long whip, which struck Gu Liyan hard.

A spurt of blood splattered on Yan Moxue's face, and Yan Moxue turned pale with fright as she watched Gu Liyan's back being whipped raw and torn open.

"Uh..." Gu Liyan groaned, gritted his teeth, and endured the pain to say, word by word, "I can only leave with Xue'er and never return to Qianjue!"

Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, Gu Yan's hand holding the long spear fell limply to his side.

With trembling fingers pointing at Gu Liyan's nose, Gu Yan roared with all his might, "Get out!"

Gu Liyan was so shocked that his blood and qi surged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Yan Muxue hurriedly stepped forward to support Gu Liyan, "Little Li..."

Gu Liyan shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

Seeing them supporting each other only fueled Gu Yan's rage. "Get out! Get out of here now! Never come back! Never!"

Gu Liyan glanced at Gu Yan, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "Father... Fox Fairy, I will bless you with happiness and good health for the rest of my life... Please take care!"

Gu Yan turned her head, tears welling up in her eyes, and said, "Let's go!"

Gu Liyan stood up and said shakily, "Xue'er, let's go..."
