Nine Lives, Nine Worlds of Tribulation

Memories are like ever-blooming stone flowers, yet only the self believes them to be eternal. Ultimately, what they bring is the ruthlessness of reincarnation; perhaps no one will wait this time.

Chapter 72 Signs of Separation

The dark dungeon reeked of dampness and decay.

Gu Liyan slowly opened his eyes, and a weak voice came from beside him, "You're awake."

Raising his head, Gu Liyan looked at Ji Fa, who was pale-faced beside him, and couldn't help but stare at him in surprise, "You, how could you..."

Gu Liyan hurriedly stepped back and looked at him warily, but the feeling he gave her was completely different from the feeling of the two people before!

Ji Fa smiled helplessly, "It seems that guy has done a lot of bad things outside."

Gu Liyan suddenly realized, "You are the real Ji Fa? Boyi Kao's younger brother?"

Ji Fa looked at Gu Liyan with surprise. "You know my older brother? Is he alright?"

Gu Liyan nodded awkwardly. "It should be alright."

Since first meeting Ji Fa, Gu Liyan had seen through his methods of sowing discord. In order not to alert the enemy, she could only temporarily separate from Xiao Linzi. If she had not been discovered yet, it meant that Boyi Kao was still safe.

"That's good, otherwise I would feel very guilty if he caused me to kill my own brother." Ji Fa said with a helpless bitter smile.

"How long have you been locked up here by him?" Gu Liyan asked, puzzled.

"It's been a few years, I can't even remember. I never imagined that after I saved him, he would do something like this..." Ji Fa sighed.

"Have you seen that person's true face? Can you tell me about that person's characteristics?" Gu Liyan asked hurriedly.

"Oh, he was dressed very elegantly, in golden armor and a blue robe, and he was quite handsome..."

Gu Liyan thought that among the demon army, only that one person was dressed so magnificently, and immediately guessed the person's identity, "It's him..."

creak—

The dungeon door was then opened, and Bu Yunrui, disguised as Ji Fa, entered with his subordinate Ying Xiao.

"Hehe, you're awake." Bu Yunrui chuckled as he looked at Gu Liyan.

"Bu Yunrui! I didn't expect it to really be you." Gu Liyan frowned as she looked at Bu Yunrui.

Bu Yunrui's eyes lit up, and he laughed excitedly, "Hahaha! You finally found out!"

After saying that, he took a step forward and his face was now Bu Yunrui's. He stood in front of Gu Liyan and said with a gentle expression, "Gu Liyan, it's been a long time!"

Gu Liyan was trembling with anger; this guy had almost fooled him!

Seeing Gu Liyan's angry gaze, Bu Yunrui chuckled, "Don't be angry. We're old friends, why don't we sit down and have a good talk?"

With that, he waved his hand, and Ying Xiao behind him brought out wine and dishes, placing them in front of Gu Liyan.

"What exactly do you want?" Gu Liyan looked at Bu Yunrui warily.

“We can be considered old friends meeting again in a foreign land, let’s sit down and have a drink together!” Bu Yunrui sat down first, smiled and looked at Ji Fa, saying, “Benefactor, come and sit with us.”

Ji Fa glanced at Bu Yunrui, then sat down timidly without saying a word, filling the three wine cups to the brim under Bu's intimidating gaze.

Bu Yunrui seemed quite satisfied with his actions, smiling as he looked at Gu Liyan, "This wine was brought from the Heavenly Palace, you'll like it."

Gu Liyan was taken aback, then slowly sat down.

The three sat quietly at a table, none of them saying a word.

Ying Xiao stood to the side like a wooden statue.

Looking at the familiar cup, Gu Liyan couldn't help but ask, "How is Emperor Tianyi?"

Bu Yunrui had just picked up his wine glass when he suddenly froze. He hadn't expected that the first person Gu Liyan would mention was the one who had betrayed the Demon Clan!

His expression was rather unpleasant, and he coldly asked, "What's your relationship with him?"

Gu Liyan picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He glanced at Bu Yunrui and said, "Just like you, a fellow drinker!"

Bu Yunrui was taken aback, but said nothing and silently drank the wine.

"He really liked the wine brewed with the spring water from Tianchi Lake, especially the special brew with added ice lotus." Gu Liyan looked at Bu Yunrui, her tone filled with nostalgia. "I never imagined that the bottle of wine you brought was—"

Bu Yunrui didn't care at all, and silently drank his wine with his head down and brows slightly furrowed.

“He doesn’t say a word when he’s thinking,” Gu Liyan said, looking at Bu Yunrui. “He just lowers his head, frowns, and drinks.”

Bu Yunrui's eyebrows suddenly twitched involuntarily.

“When his secret is exposed, his eyebrows twitch slightly,” Gu Liyan suddenly said with a smile.

Bu Yunrui put down his wine glass and looked at Gu Liyan with displeasure.

"I've also heard that the position of the Demon Clan's Holy Son is hereditary!" Gu Liyan finally revealed the key point.

Snap—

Bu Yunrui finally couldn't sit still any longer and suddenly stood up and said, "Gu Liyan, do you know that the person I hate the most is that old bastard Tianyi!"

"But that doesn't change the fact that he's your father! Nor does it change the fact that you've always lived in his shadow, and all your actions are imitations of your father!"

Gu Liyan looked at Bu Yunrui with a serious expression and said, "I have not mentioned to anyone that the Heavenly Emperor is a demon, because he is a great father! As for you, you are not worthy of the title of Holy Son of the Demon Clan, neither in terms of loyalty nor righteousness!"

"Shut up!" Bu Yunrui suddenly reached out and grabbed Gu Liyan. "Gu Liyan, why do you always provoke me? Do you think I wouldn't dare to kill you!"

“Uh…you, of course you dare…heh, after all, you were abandoned by everyone…” Gu Liyan gritted her teeth, struggling to breathe as she spoke each word clearly.

Thud—

Bu Yunrui threw Gu Liyan to the ground. "Gu Liyan, you're really smart. You want me to kill you and end your life! I won't grant your wish! However, I advise you not to try to provoke me again! I want to cooperate with you now, and together we will rule this world! As long as you agree to submit to me, I will give you the power and status of being second only to the emperor!"
