Yan Ligu slowly opened his eyes, looked at the grief-stricken Gu Yixian, and joked, "I'm not dead yet... why are you crying..."
"Waaaaah..."
Gu Yixian cried even louder. Yan Ligu had become invisible; what difference was there between him being alive and dead?
Yan Ligu looked at Gu Yixian, whose face was streaked with tears, and slowly raised his hand to wipe them away. He gently said, "Didn't we agree... not to cry...?"
The cold hands touched her skin as if blown by the wind. Gu Yixian looked at Yan Ligu with heartache, watching his increasingly transparent body, and cried out, holding back her sobs:
"But...but you..."
Yan Ligu placed his hand on Gu Yixian's hand and gently said, "Don't be afraid, Xian'er... I... won't die... I will continue to protect you... in this life... in the next life... and... in the life after that..."
Hearing Yan Ligu's intermittent voice, Gu Yixian burst into tears, "Xiao Li, it's all my fault, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Yan Ligu looked at Gu Yixian, shook his head, and said, "Fool...it was you...who stopped the White Emperor...and helped me regain my physical body...I...should be thanking you..."
Yan Ligu's voice was weak, and Gu Yixian couldn't hear anything. Seeing Yan Ligu's lips move slightly, Gu Yixian already guessed what was going on...
His body really couldn't take it anymore!
It's as if a mere gust of wind could blow him away; it's truly heartbreaking!
Seeing Gu Yixian crying, Yan Ligu smiled helplessly and raised his hand to wipe away her tears again, only to find that his hand had disappeared!
Suddenly, he understood—
It turned out that she couldn't hear what he had just said...
It turns out, she was crying so hard because she felt sorry for herself...
What a silly girl, she hasn't changed at all after all this time!
"Hua Baixian..." Yan Ligu looked at Gu Yixian, even though she couldn't hear him at this moment, he still wanted to say these words to her:
"Xian'er, I love you... forever..."
A sudden gust of wind arose
Blowing across the rolling hills
Stroking her hair
Gu Yixian was stunned for a moment, and when she regained her senses and looked at what was in front of her, she found that the person lying in front of her had disappeared—
"Waaaaah... Xiao Li!" Gu Yixian knelt on the ground, wailing loudly...
The last words Yan Ligu said to her were carried away by the wind, their whereabouts unknown...
——
"Xian'er...I love you...forever..."
That was a call from the soul.
That was a promise from the soul.
That is a mark from the soul.
Deeply engraved in my memory
Gu Liyan slowly opened his eyes and immediately felt a powerful energy flowing through his body, supporting him.
He slowly sat up and felt the energy in his body return to normal, even surpassing his strongest state!
"What, what's going on? Why do I feel that my soul power is so strong? It even exceeds my peak strength..." Gu Liyan frowned as he examined his body, completely baffled.
"woke up……"
Just then, an old and weary voice came from beside him.
Gu Liyan was slightly startled and turned her head to look. She saw Gu Yan sitting beside her with an old face, gray hair, a hunched back, and no life.
"Master... Father?" Gu Liyan's expression changed instantly. He came to Gu Yan's side and his heart trembled when he saw Gu Yan's state.
“A teacher for a day is a father for life. I, Gu Yan, have not done a good job as your teacher, but... I will do my duty as a father!” Gu Yan smiled slightly and looked at Gu Liyan as he spoke.
“Father!” Gu Liyan’s eyes reddened slightly, and he immediately knelt down in front of Gu Yan with a thud.
Before Gu Yan could speak, Gu Liyan burst into tears, crying, "Father, what... what are you doing? What are you doing!"
Gu Liyan pressed on, wondering how he could not see what Gu Yan had done. He had actually used his own soul power to replenish Gu Yan's soul power, almost exhausting all of Gu Yan's soul power!
If things continue like this, Gu Liyan may survive, but how will Gu Yan survive?!
Gu Liyan looked at Gu Yan's wrinkled face. It was this face that had held his resentment and hatred, but now all of it had vanished!
Gu Liyan gritted his teeth and said, "Father! Are you going to trade your life for Xiaoli's? It's not worth it! Xiaoli doesn't deserve you doing this, Father!"
Gu Yan looked at Gu Liyan with a determined expression and said, "It's worth it! You are not only my disciple, but also my only child! What wouldn't be worth it for you?"
“What’s more…” Gu Yan’s hands trembled uncontrollably, “You were harmed by me, so being able to rescue you safely is the happiest thing for me!”
"But...but..." Gu Liyan lowered his head, unsure how to express the bitterness in his heart.
He couldn't protect Gu Yixian, he couldn't protect himself, and he even caused Gu Yan to suffer along with him!
Even more shameful is that he had been harboring resentment towards Gu Yan! He then physically assaulted and verbally abused his own father—
He is so unfilial!
Gu Liyan immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Father, it's my fault! I'm unfilial! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
"Child, my dear child, don't be like this, get up! Get up." Gu Yan's trembling hands helped Gu Liyan up. "It's not your fault, it's my fault as your teacher and father, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have wronged you, I shouldn't have framed you, it's all my fault!"
Gu Liyan looked at Gu Yan and said, "Father, I don't blame you. Let's escape together, leave this place, and seek revenge on the White Emperor..."
