Gu Liyan stepped forward and bowed respectfully to An Qianshan, then said with a serious expression, "I am Gu Liyan, and I am Xiaobai's beloved."
An Qianshan raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, showing no sign of weakness, "I am An Qianshan, and I am Xiao Bai's father!"
really!
Gu Liyan showed no surprise. The only person in the world who could make An Qianbai so afraid, and who had the opportunity to drug her, was probably her father...
However, Gu Liyan was really angry. He never expected that a father would treat his own daughter like this! He had arranged for his daughter to be looked down upon and despised by others, and even drugged her to control her mind.
Judging from An Qianbai's attitude, it's clear that the An Qianshan in front of him is not his father, but a monster!
How could her father treat her like this?
Gu Liyan was furious, making no attempt to conceal his murderous aura.
Sensing the murderous aura emanating from Gu Liyan, An Qianshan calmly smiled and said, "Hehe, young friend, you're full of resentment. You wouldn't happen to want to kill me, would you? I'm her father... Although I know nothing seems to have happened between you two, I can see that you genuinely care for her. You don't want her to wake up without a father... or, without a sweetheart, would you?"
Gu Liyan raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected An Qianshan to know that he and An Qianbai had never had a relationship. It seemed that An Qianshan also knew that he could help An Qianbai suppress the death energy within her body...
Seeing that Gu Liyan remained silent, An Qianshan stopped pursuing the matter and instead turned to look at An Yu, who had become an ice sculpture on the ground.
"Oh dear, this ice is truly filled with murderous intent; it's chillingly cold..."
Hearing An Qianshan's words, An Jiuling immediately stepped forward and said urgently, "Master, it was that little bastard who killed my nephew. We can't let him get away with this so easily!"
An Qianshan nodded with a smile, his gaze turning somewhat cold. "Indeed... we can't let them go so easily..."
Upon hearing An Qianshan's hostile words, Wu Wenfeng and Jin Yi's expressions changed, and they immediately drew their weapons. Just as the two were about to go up and help, they were stopped by Gu Liyan's outstretched hand.
“Ancient Saint…” Jin Yi was about to say something when Gu Liyan shook his head solemnly and said, “I’ll handle it.”
"But..." Jin Yi wanted to say something, but Gu Liyan had already walked towards An Qianshan.
“I killed him. I think you assassins should understand that if your swords don’t kill the enemy, you might become the ones who get killed!”
Gu Liyan squinted at An Qianshan, then coldly looked at the dead An Yu and calmly said, "He didn't kill my brother, so—I've come to avenge my brother!"
An Qianshan turned to look at Gu Liyan, and upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, An Qianshan began to seriously examine Gu Liyan for the first time:
That stunningly beautiful face made the heavens and earth pale in comparison. Her white robes were spotless, making her seem like an ethereal being. But in this world, could there be such a being so close to being an immortal?
"Hahahaha—"
An Qianshan laughed, a laugh that was somewhat maniacal and baffling.
Suddenly, the laughter stopped abruptly. An Qianshan turned to look at Gu Liyan and said, "I just said I won't let this go easily! Now step forward, aren't you afraid of death?"
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, "As long as we fight fair and square, unlike the dead who attacked from behind, I think no one will seek revenge if either of us dies!"
An Qianshan squinted as he looked Gu Liyan up and down, and couldn't help but smile:
"Heh, sharp-tongued and with such a confident air, all the cunning foxes in the world are like you!"
Gu Liyan's expression changed, and he had the strange feeling that he had been seen through.
"A fair and square fight, huh? Very well, then I'll see if you have the strength!" An Qianshan said.
The words had barely left his mouth when An Qianshan suddenly moved, without warning, without a ripple! He lunged at An Qianbai—
Gu Liyan's expression changed, and he immediately transformed into a white shadow and chased after her. However, An Le, who was in front of An Qianbai, did not react in time, nor did Wu Wenfeng. Jin Yi did react, but because he was thinking of protecting Gu Liyan, he was too far away from An Qianbai at the moment. He and Gu Liyan could only watch helplessly as An Qianshan easily snatched An Qianbai from An Le's hands!
"Damn it!" Gu Liyan cursed under her breath in anger. Then, she struck out with a palm towards An Qianshan, but An Qianshan chuckled and shamelessly used An Qianbai as a shield. Gu Liyan was startled and quickly stopped, thankfully without hurting An Qianbai.
But before Gu Liyan could retract her hand, An Qianshan kicked her in the chest. Gu Liyan felt as if Mount Tai had crashed down on her, as if she had hit a giant mountain in the chest. She was sent flying backward and fell to the ground, spitting blood. In an instant, she felt as if her whole body was falling apart in pain.
"Tsk tsk tsk, their strength is really weak!" An Qianshan said with a faint smile, his tone tinged with sarcasm.
With unpredictable footsteps, An Qianshan arrived in front of Gu Liyan.
Gu Liyan struggled several times but still couldn't get up from the ground, watching as An Qianshan strolled leisurely towards him...
An Qianshan couldn't help but laugh and gently said to Gu Liyan, "Kid, you can't hide it from me. Not only did you not have a relationship with Xiao Bai, but you also have no connection with the Chess Alliance, right?"
Gu Liyan's expression changed. Once An Qianshan knew this secret, he would no longer be able to rely on the methods of the Chess Alliance to act arrogantly.
"Heh, I know the answer just by looking at your expression! You're too young... no! I should say you're too confident! Don't treat everyone like fools! Otherwise, you might become a fool yourself one day!" With that, An Qianshan raised his foot and stepped on Gu Liyan's chest, ignoring Gu Liyan's pained expression, and said, "My daughter's destiny is destined to be superior to others. Even if you are her benefactor, her beloved, I cannot let you hinder her, nor me! Otherwise... I will make you die a horrible death!"
