"Hey, what's so weird about your inn?!" Mo Lihai was about to say something more when suddenly a spotted fox sable darted out.

Before Gu Liyan could react, the ferret climbed onto his shoulder and started squeaking.

Before they could react, the five men's expressions changed drastically. Li Jing, without saying a word, drew his sword and pointed it at Gu Liyan, shouting, "You audacious fiend! What are you hiding here for!"

Gu Liyan opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Su Xian'er stepped in front of him without saying a word, "Everyone! Gu Liyan is not a bad person, he is just recuperating here, please don't do this!"

Gu Liyan's lips twitched involuntarily: You silly girl, by saying this and not saying anything, you're just putting me in a more passive position!

Even so, he could not allow this group of enemies to bully Su Xian'er!

Gu Liyan stepped forward and shielded Su Xian'er behind him. "Xian'er, don't worry, they are not worthy to be my opponents!"

Su Xian'er glanced worriedly at Gu Liyan, then at the five men's fierce expressions, and hurriedly said, "It's so unfair that the five of them are targeting you! I, I'll join in too!"

As she spoke, Su Xian'er stood beside Gu Liyan without hesitation, her innocent face radiating an overwhelming sense of justice.

Gu Liyan was deeply moved.

She remains the same, unafraid of power, unafraid of life and death, and will always stand on her side.

If he dies

She was willing to follow him to the death!

Gu Liyan smiled slightly, not trying to persuade her to step back, but speaking softly enough for everyone to hear, "Don't worry, Xian'er, if they want to hurt you, they'll have to step over my dead body first! Of course, I'd rather die than give them that chance!"

Su Xian'er pursed her lips and didn't look at Gu Liyan, but looked at Li Jing and the other four with a determined expression.

No retreat, absolutely no retreat!

Don't be afraid, absolutely don't be afraid!

He saved her, and she's determined to fight alongside him to the very end!

Li Jing frowned, unable to figure out Su Xian'er's identity. Why would a human help a demon?

Just as the two sides were about to fight, the inn's door was pushed open again, and the wind and snow blew in...

"How come the weather changes so drastically!" Xiao Linzi hurriedly closed the door. "Luckily, I had the foresight to replace it with a sturdier door."

After closing the door, Xiao Linzi turned around and saw Li Jing pointing his sword at Gu Liyan and the other person. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Oh, what's all the commotion about?"

"It's you!" Li Jing looked at Xiao Linzi with a surprised expression.

"Huh? You are..." Xiao Linzi stepped forward and looked Li Jing up and down, exclaiming in surprise, "So you're Uncle Li Jing from Chentang Pass! What are you doing here?!"

“Bo Yikao, I also want to ask you, why did you run into Su Hu’s territory when you weren’t in Yongzhou? And, this, this inn is yours?!” Li Jing looked at Xiao Linzi in surprise.

Xiao Linzi Boyi Kao smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, it was indeed opened by my nephew. Please forgive me if I haven't been able to provide adequate hospitality."

"You know them?" Gu Liyan frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Linzi with surprise.

“Yes, Uncle Li Jing is a friend of my father.” Xiao Linzi said awkwardly to Gu Liyan.

“Bo Yikao, you and this demon…” Li Jing frowned, somewhat displeased.

Gu Liyan frowned slightly. This little Linzi had been hiding his identity; his real name was actually Boyi Kao?!

"Uncle, please rest assured, Gu Liyan is my benefactor and my friend. He was injured because of me, which is why he is recuperating here. He would never do anything bad to me or anyone else." As soon as Boyi Kao finished speaking, a small figure darted out.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The spotted ferret appeared out of nowhere again, ran back to its owner Mo Lishou's shoulder, and gestured wildly.

Mo Lishou pointed at Gu Liyan in shock, "You actually killed three people!"

"What?!" Bo Yikao was stunned, looking at Gu Liyan in surprise. Could this guy please stop causing him trouble?

I just praised him, and now he's caused me trouble again!

Gu Liyan's expression turned cold, and he did not deny it: "I did kill the person!"

Whoosh—

Mo Liqing took out a cyan sword, Mo Lihai took out a pipa, and Mo Lihong, who did not defend herself, took out a Hunyuan Umbrella and looked at Gu Liyan with a fierce expression.

Su Xian'er hurriedly stood in front of Gu Liyan, "Those people were killed because of me!"

Li Jing frowned slightly as he looked at Su Xian'er, who was consistently protecting Gu Liyan. "Miss, why do you protect this demon time and time again..."

"He's not a monster! He, he's my friend, Su Xian'er!" Su Xian'er said with unwavering conviction.

Upon hearing this, Gu Liyan smiled slightly, feeling a warmth in her heart.

fine

You understand me!

From this moment on, no matter how many sins I bear, no matter how many rumors and gossip I face, as long as you are still willing to trust me, even if it means going against the world, I am willing to give up everything for you!
