"See! This is what a weakling looks like!"
Gu Liyan seemed to be speaking to others, and also wanted to say it to Mo Chen, but only he knew that he was actually saying it to himself!
If it were me, not a literary giant, who failed today; if it were me, not someone else, kneeling at your feet...
What right does he have to return to the underworld?
What right do I have to pursue my obsessions anymore?
“Strength… I need to become stronger…” Gu Liyan raised his head, looked at the crowd prostrate on the ground around him, exhaled a breath of cold air, then looked up at the dark sky and smiled, saying, “In this world… only the strong can be the center of attention…”
Why not me—Gu Liyan?
Gu Liyan laughed maniacally, standing proudly amidst the wind and snow...
But there was no one to share that loneliness and desolation with...
Crystalline tears slid down his cheeks, and then he collapsed to the ground.
In that instant, Gu Liyan felt herself fall into a warm embrace. She looked up at the person holding her and shook her head slightly.
The newcomer was a woman with red hair, wearing a red veil, a hot figure, and a seductive look in her eyes.
Yi Ge frowned as he looked at Gu Liyan in his arms and couldn't help but mock, "I thought it was some great master who appeared, but who knew it would be you, this useless little guy! Such a powerful range of Yi energy is really a waste of your talent!"
Gu Liyan looked at her with a puzzled expression, feeling the unusual warmth emanating from her, and suddenly smiled...
Mo Chen stared in astonishment at Gu Liyan inside the contract space, only to see Gu Liyan snuggle into Yi Ge's arms and say in a coquettish tone, "So warm..."
Yi Ge paused, looked at Gu Liyan in her arms, and suddenly smiled, "Really? You really are still a child!"
Gu Liyan slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Yi Ge scooped up Gu Liyan in his arms, showing no displeasure whatsoever, and instead smiled as he said, "Considering you're not a bad person, I'll reluctantly forgive your mistake of recklessly using Yi Neng!"
As he spoke, Yi Ge waved his hand, and the surrounding wind and snow seemed to dissipate as if from clouds and mist. At the same time, the frost on Wen Hao's body also faded away, and a warmth neutralized Gu Liyan's chill.
Bai Chen's limbs, which had been frozen stiff, returned to normal. He raised his head and looked at Yi Ge, who was holding Gu Liyan on the arena. He immediately knelt down and respectfully said, "Bai Chen greets Senior Yi Zhe."
Yi Ge coldly looked at Bai Chen, "So it was you who wrote to Qingge Hall, asking them to contact my Yizhe Alliance and tell me that there were Yizhe here?"
Bai Chen broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Yi Ge's indifferent voice...
He couldn't guess what Yi Ge was thinking at that moment. If it was right, it would naturally benefit him; however, if it was wrong... he and Gu Liyan would probably both suffer as a result...
Looking at Bai Chen's tense expression, Yi Ge suddenly sneered, "You're very good. You've endured for so long to achieve your goal. If the Yi Zhe Alliance didn't only accept people who possess Yi Zhe skills, I think many seniors would have thought of taking you in."
Bai Chen was overjoyed, but before he could speak, he heard Yi Ge coldly say, "However, the worst thing you could have done was to underestimate the Yi Zhe Alliance!"
Bai Chen froze, then looked up at Yi Ge, his crimson eyes blazing with passion.
"You shouldn't have used a player, even an unknown one!" Yi Ge said coldly, his eyes narrowed. "Therefore, you must pay the price for your actions!"
Upon hearing Yi Ge's words, Bai Chen broke out in a cold sweat. He had planned everything meticulously, thinking he had a way out and could be free, but he never expected that all of this would be ruined by his own selfishness...
But even so, he had no regrets. He was tired of being a puppet, a caged bird, tired of the flattery, the clamor and the ruthlessness of this world...
Bai Chen closed his eyes; he was truly exhausted…
"Don't kill Brother Bai Chen!" Wen Hexuan suddenly rushed out of the crowd and stood in front of Bai Chen.
Yi Ge's gaze fell on Wen Hexuan. His youthful face and innocent eyes made one feel a pang of pity.
“Xiao Wen…” Bai Chen opened his eyes and stared blankly at Wen Hexuan.
Wen Hexuan turned to look at Bai Chen, his eyes slightly red, and choked back tears as he said, "Brother Bai, I... I know I'm timid, and I know I'm not qualified... If I had Wenhao's powerful background and Gu Liyan's strength, I would definitely tear off that red ribbon without hesitation! I would definitely tell you without hesitation that I like Brother Bai!"
Bai Chen stared blankly at Wen Hexuan. Although he knew that Wen Hexuan had feelings for him, he never expected that he would be so affectionate towards him...
"I know I can't protect Brother Bai, I'm not even of any use... But, isn't there a rule among the strategists? A sincere plea can be exchanged for death! Senior, I sincerely beg you, I'm willing to die in Brother Bai's place! Please spare him!"
Bai Chen stared at Wen Hexuan in astonishment, wanting to refuse, but found herself frozen in place, unable to move! Turning her gaze to Yi Ge on the stage, she immediately understood why—it was all her doing!
Yi Ge squinted at Wen Hexuan. "You say you've given your heart, but is that really true? You're just being one-sided! The person you're protecting with your life doesn't care about you! He cares about this little guy in my arms! Oh, right, maybe after you die for him, he'll be with this little guy in my arms forever! Even so, are you still willing to die for him?"
A flicker of hatred flashed in Wen Hexuan's eyes, but he concealed it perfectly. He clenched his fists, the hatred in his eyes fading, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly as he said, "So-called love isn't about forcing us to be together. As long as he's happy, that's enough... I... don't care..."
