Jin realized that his words had offended Gu Liyan, so he quickly lowered his head and said, "Lord Gu, if I have said something wrong, please punish me."
Gu Liyan frowned. "If you had told me from the beginning, I think I would never have acknowledged this title of Chosen One! It's utterly absurd!"
Seeing Gu Liyan's agitated state, Jin Yi hurriedly spoke up, "Lord Gu, please forgive my ignorance. I truly do not understand what love is. However, I can see that your views on women in the world are different from ours. If you can become the chief chosen one, perhaps you can change the people of Tianfu's views on women in the world!"
Gu Liyan's face darkened. "I know perfectly well that this is wrong, something immoral, and you still want me to do it?"
Jin Yi hurriedly spoke up, "Ancient Sage, I know you want to change this world, but if you don't obtain the title of Chief Chosen One, you will never get close to the rules of changing the world!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Liyan was visibly shaken.
Yes, if he wants to change the world, he must stand at the top of the world. He has no choice but to go to Tianfu and take a gamble!
Closing his eyes, thinking of the Nine Springs Realm and An Qianbai, Gu Liyan finally made a decision. Clenching his fist, he said, "I know what I should do, but please don't tell anyone about this... including Mo Chen."
Jin Yi glanced at Gu Liyan, unsure of his thoughts, and could only nod and say, "Yes."
The sky was turning white; dawn was approaching.
Wu Wenfeng rubbed his eyes as he walked into the hall, unconsciously pouring himself a cup of black tea. He was surprised, "Huh? It's still hot?"
He immediately drank it down in one gulp, but when he looked up, he saw Gu Liyan and Jin Yi sitting on the chairs in the hall, staring at him with great interest. He immediately spat it out with a "pfft".
Wu Wenfeng spat out his black tea and coughed, "Cough cough cough, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, why aren't you two sleeping in the middle of the night, sitting here having a meeting?"
Jin Yi glanced at the composed Gu Liyan, then smiled and said to Wu Wenfeng, "Little Feng, you're joking. It's almost dawn, not the middle of the night. Besides, Gu Shengjun and I just agreed to watch the sunrise together."
"You two are smiling like foxes, you wouldn't happen to be plotting something, would you?" Wu Wenfeng frowned slightly, looking at the two with suspicion.
"So what do you think we two are plotting?" Gu Liyan asked with a smile, his eyes narrowed.
Seeing Gu Liyan's smile, Wu Wenfeng couldn't help but get goosebumps. The thought that Gu Liyan was a fox demon made him stammer, "I... I'm too lazy to guess! It's still early, I'm going back to sleep!"
Wu Wenfeng put down the cup and fled as if his feet were oiled.
"Haha, looks like this kid's gotten a bit salty!" Jin Yi said with a smile, then turned to look at Gu Liyan and said meaningfully, "Sure enough, some dishes aren't suitable for us."
Gu Liyan shook his head with a wry smile and said nothing.
Jin Yi stroked his chin and thought for a moment before speaking, "Although Xiao Feng is still young, it is clear that he has great potential and is worth nurturing."
"You mean... we can take him to Tianfu?" Gu Liyan asked, squinting.
“Logically speaking, a saintess and two attendants are the minimum configuration for the chosen one. If you really don’t want to bring Mo Chen…” Jin Yi glanced at Gu Liyan’s expression to make sure he didn’t have any emotional fluctuations, and then said, “You can bring Wu Wenfeng.”
Gu Liyan shook his head. "He is Mo Chen's younger brother. For safety's sake, it's best not to bring him along for any unknown or dangerous matters."
“Then it’s just the two of us, I’m afraid…” Jin Yi looked at Gu Liyan with some concern.
Gu Liyan shook his head, his soul trembled slightly, and his purple eyes became more resolute.
"It's not just you and me—"

As the morning light streamed into the room, Mo Chen stood by the window. He had tossed and turned all night without a good night's sleep, and now that dawn was approaching, he felt a little uneasy.
Mo Hua opened her eyes and looked at Mo Chen standing in front of the window. She got up, came up behind him, hugged his waist, and said, "Xiao Chen, you seem to have something on your mind."
Mo Chen held Mo Hua's hand, his gaze somewhat vacant, and shook his head, saying, "No, it's nothing."
"You're lying!" Mo Hua immediately denied his words.
“When you’re upset, you always watch the sunrise to calm yourself down, which helps you face difficulties.” Mo Hua let go of Mo Chen’s hand and came to his side. Looking at Mo Chen’s worried face, she sighed and said, “Although we haven’t been together for a long time, your habits haven’t changed. How could I not know?”
"I'm sorry, Hua'er, I... I didn't want to lie to you..." Mo Chen hesitated, unsure whether he should tell her the fact that he had become Gu Liyan's companion.
Seeing Mo Chen's hesitant manner, Mo Hua sighed and said, "You're hiding something from me, but I'm also hiding something from you..."
Mo Chen looked at Mo Hua in confusion. "Huh? What?"
“You know I hate demons, especially fox demons, so you didn’t mention that Gu Liyan is also a demon, and even more so a fox demon.” Mo Hua squinted as he thought about Gu Liyan’s appearance and spoke.
Mo Chen didn't say anything, he just lowered his head.
"Fox demons are amorous and promiscuous. I don't know if it was my bad luck in choosing a partner or the work of fate, but I was almost ruined by a fox demon. Since then, I have hated them to the extreme!" Mo Hua's eyes flashed with a fierce light.
“Gu Liyan, he is actually very devoted…” Mo Chen subconsciously pleaded for Gu Liyan.
Mo Hua glanced at Mo Chen, who didn't accept his explanation, and instead spoke to himself, "You don't know, An Qianshan of the Shadow Hall sent someone to invite me to the Shadow Hall. He said he captured a fox demon. I was very happy, thinking that if I could buy that fox demon and torture him to resolve my inner conflict, I would be very happy!"
