"They've already started fighting!" Gu Liyan sighed helplessly as he watched the two clashing on the field.
"Should we... should we stop them?" Gu Linlin asked worriedly, looking at the two who were already poised to fight.
In particular, she lingered on Gu Changyuan for a few extra seconds, her worry undisguised.
Gu Liyan waved his hand, "I'm afraid it's impossible to stop them. There are some grudges between them that even I can't interfere with."
As they spoke, the two people in the room suddenly changed their expressions, and a strong wind suddenly arose, causing Gu Yixian and the others to retreat.
Upon seeing this, Gu Liyan hurriedly said, "You two, step back!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Gu Yan smiled and said, "This place is too small. To avoid hurting my daughter-in-law's family, let's find another place!"
Gu Changyuan snorted coldly, "That's exactly what I meant!"
As they spoke, the two transformed into two streaks of purple light, one deep and one light, and soared into the sky.
The two figures disappeared from sight, and the next second, dark clouds filled the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the entire sky was shrouded in purple!
"This is bad! They've even used their domains! They seem really serious!" Gu Liyan was immediately filled with worry.
Rumble—
Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, as if a heavy rain was about to fall.
The two stood in the air above the clouds. Gu Changyuan looked at Gu Yan with his usual indifference, while Gu Yan, though looking old, had an air of otherworldly elegance that should not be underestimated!
"It seems you still hold a grudge against me." Gu Yan squinted and spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, but was just heard by Gu Changyuan, who was far away.
“Because I harbor hatred in my heart, that’s why I’m still alive!” Gu Changyuan said coldly.
Gu Yan squinted at Gu Changyuan, as if he had returned to hundreds of years ago—
That year, the snow and wind of Qianjue Mountain brought a biting chill for the first time...
"You have cultivated for a thousand years, and I sent you down the mountain to gain experience. I never expected this..." Gu Yan squinted at Gu Changyuan kneeling before him. "I never expected that you would fall in love with mortal women! What's even more shameful is that you fell in love with courtesans! Do you know that courtesans are the most defiled people in the world?!"
Hearing Gu Yan's words, Gu Changyuan retorted with some dissatisfaction, "Master, that's prejudice! Courtesans are people too. They also have their own way of surviving. Although it's shameful, it's something they earned through hard work!"
Gu Changyuan looked at Gu Yan without fear and said, "Besides, isn't the very purpose of your training me to experience the myriad aspects of human nature and the fleeting nature of life? If my heart is not immersed in the mortal world, how can I understand human emotions? How can I improve?"
"That's utter nonsense!" Gu Yan slammed his hand on the table and stood up, glaring at Gu Changyuan with hatred. "Your mind is not strong enough right now. If you are troubled by love at such a young age, how will your cultivation improve in the future!"
"The essence of cultivation lies in the Confucian ideal of 'Yuan Yuan Jiu Chen' (缘愿九尘), which is based on 'Yuan Yuan Jiu Chen' (缘愿九尘) and 'Yuan Yuan Jiu Chen' (愿愿九尘). It is about being fearless and undaunted, and having boundless love within the Nine Dust Realm. This is the true meaning of cultivation! How could entering the mortal world affect my intention to cultivate?" Gu Changyuan sneered.
"This is utterly foolish! You wicked disciple, have you forgotten—you are a demon! Humans and demons are different, and how long can a human live? Do you think you can last? In the end, all you will gain will be for nothing!" Gu Yan stood up and pointed at Gu Changyuan with a look of disappointment and frustration.
Gu Changyuan refused to back down at all. "Master, you have never interacted with mortals or talked about feelings, how could you understand? Besides, you don't know how good Hua'er is to me. She is different from those other women!"
Upon hearing Gu Changyuan's words, Gu Yan slammed his fist on the table in anger and stood up, shouting, "Gu Changyuan! You unfilial disciple! When did it become your place to lecture me?"
As they were talking, neither of them noticed a white fox running in from outside and hiding to the side.
Gu Changyuan said with displeasure, "Master, you can't distinguish right from wrong when you look at people from your own point of view. How can you know the coldness and warmth of human relationships and the inherent goodness of human nature? You are now extremely pedantic!"
"You bastard! When did it become your place to lecture me?" Gu Yan pointed at Gu Changyuan, his anger rising. "It seems I have to teach you a lesson today, or you'll forget who your master is!"
As he spoke, the white fox hiding to the side hurriedly ran forward, and in a flash, it transformed into a cute little boy!
He had a pair of white fox ears, nine small tails hanging down his back, and a pair of bright purple eyes looking at the two of them.
"Master, senior brother, someone just came up the mountain to fulfill a vow. Uncle-Master Gu Li isn't here. Could you go and take a look?" Gu Liyan asked, blinking.
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, Gu Yan glared at Gu Changyuan and coldly snorted, saying, "You, go to the cliff to reflect on your mistakes! You are not to come down the mountain without my permission!"
"Master, you—" Gu Changyuan stared at Gu Yan in astonishment. Sending him to the cliff to reflect on his mistakes was clearly a form of solitary confinement! He never expected Gu Yan to confine him for this matter…
Seeing that Gu Changyuan remained unmoved, she looked at him coldly and said, "Do you want me to tell her that you are a fox demon who has cultivated for a thousand years?"
Gu Yan's icy gaze made Gu Changyuan immediately lower his head, not daring to look directly at him. No matter how right he was, he couldn't win against Gu Yan!
Left with no other choice, he could only walk alone toward the precipice.
Watching Gu Changyuan's dejected figure, Gu Yan sighed, "Alas, I never thought that even his cold nature couldn't suppress his emotions and desires! What a fool!"
Upon hearing Gu Yan's words, Gu Liyan asked in confusion, "I remember Master saying that only those who are deeply in love can uphold their true feelings and focus on their one and only obsession. But Senior Brother is like that, shouldn't that be a good thing?"
