As night fell, Gu Liyan and Gu Yixian, both unable to sleep, lay awake, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Gu Liyan sighed, and Gu Yixian couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Li, are you asleep?"
Gu Liyan blinked in the darkness, smiled slightly, and said without thinking, "Go to sleep."
Hearing Gu Liyan's words, Gu Yixian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Pfft... What? You little fox, do you really think I'm stupid? If I were asleep, how could I still be talking?"
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, turned over and pulled Gu Yixian into his arms, whispering in her ear, "Yiyi, what happened this afternoon must have frightened you, right?"
Gu Yixian raised her hand to stroke Gu Liyan's face and sighed, "It's not that I'm frightened, but I think that although Gu Shuangshuang is despicable, she doesn't deserve to be sentenced to death..."
Gu Liyan nodded slightly. "I think so too..."
With a helpless sigh, she said, "Rui Xin's methods have really gone too far. She's different from the person I used to know; she's become exceptionally ruthless. Sometimes I don't even know how to face her anymore..."
Hearing Gu Liyan's words, Gu Yixian hurriedly covered Gu Liyan's mouth and said, "Speak softly, maybe she can hear you!"
Gu Liyan couldn't help but chuckle. "No way, someone in her position wouldn't listen to our bedtime stories! What I'm curious about is, Yiyi, you used to seem fearless, but I didn't expect you to be afraid of her coming?!"
Gu Yixian sneered, "Hmph, a wise person knows when to yield. I, Gu Yixian, am not stupid. That Rui Xin is so powerful she's practically inhuman, clearly a monster! How can I not be careful? What if one day she turns against you?"
Gu Liyan smiled and hugged Gu Yixian tighter. "Even if we become enemies, I will always put your safety first. What are you worried about?"
"You're really talking without thinking. I'm pregnant now, and we can't afford to offend that monster. It's for the sake of our child."
Gu Liyan nodded. "Alright, alright, I understand. It's rare for my wife to be so thoughtful. I'll do whatever you say."
Gu Yixian smiled sweetly, nestled in Gu Liyan's arms, and softly said, "Xiao Li, if the child is born, could you teach him martial arts, regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl? I want him to have the ability to protect himself and not be bullied!"
"Yes! Of course you should teach him. Not only martial arts, but also medicine. You will personally teach him! If he doesn't listen to you, I'll deal with him!" Gu Liyan said with a smile, giving Gu Yixian a kiss on the cheek affectionately.
Gu Yixian blushed deeply and hid in Gu Liyan's arms without saying a word.
Just then, Rui Xin, lying on her bed in the next room, stared coldly at the ceiling, but she heard the ambiguous words being spoken next door very clearly!
Only her gaze grew increasingly cold...
——
The next morning, early in the morning, Gu Liyan and Gu Yixian walked out of their room with smiles on their faces, only to see Rui Xin also come out of her room at the same time.
Seeing the two of them so inseparable, Rui Xin smiled and walked over to greet them, "Good morning, big brother and sister. Why are you up so early today? Are you getting ready to go out?"
The two exchanged glances, and Gu Liyan spoke first, "Your sister Yiyi and I discussed it last night and decided to go back to the wooden house in the forest. It's quiet there and will allow your sister Yiyi to rest and recuperate peacefully. We're just about to say hello to Yiyi's father, then come and tell him and you, and then we'll head back together."
Rui Xin smiled slightly, already guessing Gu Liyan's thoughts, but nodded calmly and looked at the two of them with a smile, saying, "That's right. The scourge of Bai Di has been dealt with, and even the Gu family is no longer a threat. I'm afraid no one in the Gu family will dare to touch you two."
As she spoke, Rui Xin glanced at Gu Yixian and said calmly, "Since that's the case, Rui Xin should go back now. We'll meet up with Big Brother and Flower Goddess Sister again next time."
Gu Liyan smiled and nodded, "Alright, the Nine Springs Realm is busy with official business, and I imagine you can't get away either. It would be better to go back as soon as possible."
Rui Xin smiled and looked at Gu Liyan with an ambiguous expression, saying, "If big brother could go back and help me manage Jiu Quan, that would be a wonderful thing!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yixian was about to say something when Gu Liyan patted her hand, causing her to immediately hold back. She then glanced at Rui Xin without saying anything.
Gu Liyan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said politely, "I'm truly sorry, but my strength has not yet recovered. I'm afraid that even if I go back now, I won't be qualified to assist you. It won't be too late to go back and help you manage the affairs of the Nine Springs once I've recovered my strength."
Rui Xin smiled and gave Gu Liyan a deep look. Completely ignoring Gu Yixian beside him, she threw herself into Gu Liyan's arms, a blissful expression on her face, and said:
"Then, Ruixin will wait for big brother in the Netherworld!"
As he spoke, he waved to Gu Yixian with a smile, then turned around and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
After Rui Xin disappeared, Gu Liyan let out a sigh of relief. "She's gone..."
Gu Yixian wrinkled her nose slightly. "Hmph, your idea really worked! It really got her away!"
Hearing the displeasure in Gu Yixian's words, he cautiously asked, "Yiyi, do you... not want Ruixin to leave?"
"What do you mean, 'don't want to?!' Of course, it would be best if she left!" Gu Yixian said loudly to Gu Liyan, hands on her hips.
"Then why are you still angry?" Gu Liyan couldn't help but smile, reaching out to put his arm around Gu Yixian's waist.
"Hmph!" Gu Yixian snorted coldly, glared at Gu Liyan, and said nothing.
This fox, while it is indeed exceptionally clever, is also undeniably blockheaded!
