Gu Yixian looked in the direction of the wooden house, where thick smoke billowed, completely engulfed by flames—
Gu Yixian sighed and said:
"My master had no children. Apart from the man she loved and waited for her whole life, and me, her nominal disciple, all she left behind was that wooden house and books that were incomprehensible and unfathomable!"
Gu Liyan looked toward the firelight. Although the view was hazy, he could feel the intense heat emanating from the direction of the wooden house.
Is it already beyond redemption...?
Gu Liyan clenched his fists instinctively; that place still held all of Gu Yixian's childhood memories! And he was powerless to protect it…
Gu Yixian turned her head, suddenly took Gu Liyan's wrist, leaned on Gu Liyan's shoulder, and said softly:
"My master... lived there her whole life, loved her whole life, waited her whole life, longed her whole life, and hated her whole life! But in the end, the person she wanted to spend her life with was gone, and the person she wanted revenge on never came back..."
Gu Liyan pursed his lips but didn't speak. Only Gu Yixian spoke softly:
“I think that place holds her hatred and resentment. If the flames can burn away that hatred and resentment, then let the wooden house be destroyed as it may…”
Upon hearing this, Gu Liyan embraced Gu Yixian and softly said, "Yiyi, don't worry, I will give you a home that belongs to both of us, and we will never be separated..."
Gu Yixian smiled slightly, her face full of happiness, and said, "As long as I can be with you, I don't care where we eat or where we live!"
Gu Liyan smiled slightly and said nothing. Just as he subconsciously looked around, he suddenly sensed a temperature that was neither human nor beast in the forest, and his expression immediately changed.
"Yiyi! Quick, let's get out of here!" Gu Liyan said hurriedly.
"What?" Seeing Gu Liyan's tense expression, Gu Yixian immediately realized, "Has your enemy arrived?"
Gu Liyan didn't have time to explain, and without saying a word, he grabbed Gu Yixian and started running.
Watching Gu Liyan avoid the obstacle in front of him, Gu Yixian was surprised. Could it be that Gu Liyan's eyes had recovered?!
Just as she was about to look up into Gu Liyan's eyes, Gu Liyan suddenly pulled her into his arms and covered her eyes with his hands.
"Xiao Li, you..."
"Don't look..." Gu Liyan said through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, Gu Yixian's nose twitched; she could actually smell a bloody odor emanating from Gu Liyan...
Feeling the sound of the wind beside her ear, Gu Yixian asked with a doubtful look, "Xiao Li, your eyes are healed, right?"
Gu Liyan gritted his teeth. If Gu Yixian could see Gu Liyan at this moment, she would definitely see two lines of bloody tears streaming down Gu Liyan's face.
Not hearing Gu Liyan's reply, Gu Yixian asked anxiously, "Little Li?"
Gu Liyan gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell you when we get to a safe place."
Gu Yixian nodded without the slightest doubt.
Gu Liyan ran all the way to the cave where the two of them first met.
Gu Liyan put Gu Yixian down. "Alright, it's safe here now."
Hearing Gu Liyan's words, Gu Yixian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "You've been running for so long, Xiao Li, you should rest for a bit... Ah—"
When Gu Yixian turned around and saw Gu Liyan, she couldn't help but exclaim in shock. Two lines of bloody tears were left on his handsome but pale face, the blood color was extremely glaring!
"Xiao Li, are your eyes alright? Does it hurt?" Gu Yixian looked distressed and took out a handkerchief to wipe away the blood and tears on his face.
Although Gu Liyan could see what was in front of him, his vision was shrouded in a crimson mist, mixed with intense heat and burning pain...
Moreover, due to the strenuous exercise he had just undergone, the toxins in his body had also become active—
Gu Liyan felt as if every part of his body was being gnawed at by ants, and the pain was unbearable!
Even so, looking at Gu Yixian in front of him, Gu Liyan simply smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
His voice was hoarse and low, filled with weariness.
Hearing Gu Liyan's voice, Gu Yixian subconsciously grasped his hand, only to find it cold and trembling.
Immediately, tears streamed down Gu Yixian's face, her eyes reddening instantly. "You lied to me again..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yixian suddenly gasped for breath. The stunningly beautiful face in front of her was right in front of her, and the mouth of that face was actually kissing her lips!
"Huff huff huff..." Gu Liyan released Gu Yixian, who began to breathe heavily, her beautiful face as red as a ripe apple.
Gu Yixian lowered her head shyly and said, "Xiao Li, why are you doing such a lewd thing at a time like this! It's so embarrassing..."
After speaking for a while, Gu Yixian did not hear Gu Liyan's reply. She subconsciously looked up and saw that Gu Liyan was looking at her with tears streaming down his face!
"Xiao Li, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Liyan's throat bobbed slightly. He wiped away his tears and smiled, saying, "I'm just too happy..."
Gu Yixian looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“I can finally see you…” Gu Liyan’s gaze froze for a moment before he spoke.
As she spoke, she smiled slightly, raised her hand, and gently stroked Gu Yixian's face, saying with a look of doting affection, "Yiyi, do you know... you're so beautiful..."
Gu Yixian smiled slightly, "Compared to you, I'm nothing!"
Upon hearing Gu Yixian's words, Gu Liyan pulled her into a tight embrace. His body trembled, his voice choked with emotion, and his hands shook violently.
