When the old man sitting on the chair heard the word "old dog", a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but for some reason, he just snorted coldly but did not make any move.
Gu Yuan looked at the old man's reaction, smiled, and continued, "Alas, I, Gu Yuan, have lived for seventeen years. I have thought of many ways to die, such as starving to death, being killed as a stepping stone on the road of cultivation, etc., but I never thought that my life would end for this reason.
I'm a little unwilling to accept this, but there's nothing I can do. It's because I'm not as strong as others!"
The smile on Gu Yuan's face gradually turned bitter, and he continued, "I still remember the first time we met. At that time, I was not familiar with you yet, and you took Xueyan away from me. That girl can be said to be my first friend. Oh, and Gu Shang, but Gu Shang doesn't count. In fact, I always regard her as a junior. So Xueyan can be said to be my first true friend, but, as soon as you came, you took her away. But I think you should know each other, otherwise she wouldn't go with you, so my affairs in the Beast Taming City are over. After that, I came to Giant Stone City to practice on my own, and that's when I met the little witch. By the way, the little witch is Xiao Ba. This girl has a lively personality, so I still like to call her the little witch. To be honest, I didn't expect to meet you again. Is this fate? After spending these days together, I actually found that you are really good to me. I like this feeling very much, because I feel like I have made a few new friends. Especially you, a powerful Spiritual Emperor, actually took the initiative to recognize me, a wild boy with the cultivation level of a Spiritual Master, as your brother. I never expected it.
The old man sitting at the table raised his eyebrows, frowned deeply, snorted, picked up a cup of tea, and said nothing.
"And, you know what? When I first saw your face, I really didn't expect that you, who took the initiative to acknowledge me as your brother, would be such a beautiful girl. I'm really ashamed of myself!"
Gu Yuan smiled bitterly, then said, "Also, I gave you the seventh-grade elixir, the Purple Nether Spirit Pill. I don't know if this elixir can actually heal your injuries, but I hope it will be of some use. When you wake up, remember to heal your own injuries first!"
Gu Yuan stood up with difficulty so that he could see Chi Yuer's face.
"Actually, you're very good to me, and I really enjoy this feeling. But I don't know why, but you seem to know me a little bit. I even had the thought that you might know me. But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that's impossible. Haha! Well, that's probably it. In a word, I, Gu Yuan, don't regret knowing you. You saved me before, and today, I'll just consider it as my return to you. In the next life, we can still be friends."
"Boy, are you done?" The old man seemed a little impatient.
Gu Yuan did not respond, but a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
He clenched his fists tightly, exhaled, and then slowly turned around.
"Senior, before I die, can I have one more request?"
Gu Yuan slowly moved towards the old man.
The old man sat on the chair, staring at the teacup in his hand, without even looking at Gu Yuan, and asked, "What's your request?"
"After I die, let her go. I want you to swear to heaven."
"Impossible. I keep my word. If I say I will release her, I will release her. Of course, you don't have to believe me."
"you!"
Gu Yuan was speechless for a moment.
Yes, what can you do if you don’t believe it?
"Haha, it's all my fault for being too weak. If I were a Spirit Emperor now, how could he dare to speak to me like that?"
"In that case, then I would like to ask Senior..."
"Come with me!"
Suddenly, Gu Yuan's face became ferocious, and the spiritual energy in his body suddenly rioted. At the same time, his body was instantly covered by red flames, and his body began to expand rapidly at this time.
"You want to self-destruct?" The old man's face changed drastically and he asked in a lost voice.
"Hahaha! Old dog, I hope you can keep your promise. To tell you the truth, the person lying on the bed is from the Holy Sect, the largest sect in the Central Region. They have countless Spirit Emperors and Spirit Lords. If you dare to hurt her, you won't be able to escape their pursuit even if you run to the ends of the earth!"
"Imprisonment!"
Gu Yuan shouted loudly, and the system's restraining power directly descended upon the old man.
What shocked the old man even more was that after Gu Yuan shouted the word "confinement", he clearly felt that he was directly imprisoned. At that moment, his spiritual energy stopped flowing. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough to stun the old man.
"How did he do that?"
The old man was originally just surprised by Gu Yuan's determination to self-destruct, but he didn't expect Gu Yuan to be able to do it to this extent.
"You idiot, don't you know what the consequences of self-destruction are?"
The old man laughed out of anger, stretched out his hand and touched Gu Yuan's lower abdomen, and couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, even if you blow yourself up, what can you hurt me? If you really die, I will be finished! Stop it!"
Gu Yuan was stunned by the old man's words.
"What is it, miss?"
The old man hit Gu Yuan's lower abdomen hard, and his whole body was like a balloon. It deflated before reaching the critical point and quickly returned to its original state.
"puff……"
Gu Yuan, who had already started to burn himself, was stopped, but he still couldn't avoid the damage to his body just now.
A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and Gu Yuan's face became even paler.
"Fuck you, are you really going to die? Is self-destruction really that fun?"
The old man slapped Gu Yuan on the head and started cursing.
"Forehead……"
Gu Yuan stared at the old man blankly, not knowing what was going on.
"I'm the young lady's bodyguard. What the hell do you want to do? Would I hurt my own young lady?"
The old man's face turned pale and red as he pointed at Chi Yuer on the bed and called her "Miss".
"Miss...?"
The corners of Gu Yuan's mouth twitched, and he was stunned for a moment.
Are they acquaintances? Not enemies?
"What are you looking at? I was just testing you. How could it be such a coincidence that a Spiritual Master would pass by here and want to kill a little Spiritual Master like you? What kind of powerful Spiritual Master would break into a room with the aura of a Spiritual Emperor? Don't you think before you act?" The old man seemed very dissatisfied with Gu Yuan and continued to scold him.
"Hehe, so you are not the enemy? You won't kill us?" Gu Yuan scratched his head. This was the only thing he knew now.
"What else? I killed my own daughter? Wouldn't the clan leader skin me alive? How would he explain to my daughter if I killed her? Wouldn't he kill me too?" the old man cursed.
