"Gu Liyan, Yin Yang, Xuan Qing'er, I was wrong, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have listened to Lord Cangmu and violated the Heavenly Rules, and I shouldn't have attacked Lord Yin Yang. I'm so sorry..."
Leng Shaohan closed his paper fan, staring at Gu Liyan's retreating figure with astonishment. He thought to himself, "To be able to make someone with a demonic heart abandon the demonic path with his seductive arts, just who is this guy? He shouldn't be just an ordinary demon with the bloodline of a nine-tailed fox..."
Gu Liyan slowly closed his eyes. "It's good that you know you're wrong. I hope you recognize your true feelings and stay true to your path..."
Gu Liyan spoke earnestly, "As for your destroyed physical body, I will find you a suitable new one. May this body rest in peace as soon as possible!"
"yes"
"From now on, you will follow me." Gu Liyan turned around and said nothing more, thus ending the matter of Yisheng with acceptance.
——
After parting ways with Gu Liyan and the others, Cui Ming returned to the Sword Pavilion alone.
Unexpectedly, he discovered that Ippei and Muxiu were no longer there, and that all the hidden soldiers in Jian Ge had been moved away!
The place is deserted.
The scene was cold and desolate.
All that remains is the Buddha statue in the shrine that cannot be moved.
Cui Ming habitually sat in front of the Buddha, but at this moment his mind was completely unable to focus on the Buddha statue.
Staring blankly at the Buddha statue that resembled a giant, Cui Ming smiled bitterly and said to himself:
"Ha, how could I be so stupid? I should have asked my benefactor what he really meant when we parted ways..."
Sighs echoed in the Buddhist hall, then suddenly a question arose from within—
"I don't know what I said to you back then, but you're still so fixated on this?"
Cui Ming was startled. He looked around but couldn't find the person. Just then, the voice spoke again:
Look up!
Cui Ming looked up and saw Gu Liyan sitting on the Buddha statue's shoulder, smiling at him, but...
Those fox ears and fox tail were really showing off so arrogantly!
While it may appear more aesthetically pleasing, however…
Is it really okay to swagger around like this?
“You, you are… my benefactor!” Cui Ming pointed at Gu Liyan in astonishment.
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, "It's been so long since I've reverted to my original form that I almost forgot I'm a fox!"
Cui Ming was speechless for a moment, then, seeing Gu Liyan's current position, he hurriedly shouted:
"Oh dear! My benefactor, why are you climbing on the Buddha statue's shoulders? This is extremely disrespectful!"
Gu Liyan blinked and leaped down, landing in front of him. "Is something wrong? Did you set a trap there?"
"..." Upon hearing this, Cui Ming didn't know how to explain, so he simply changed the subject, "My benefactor, why did you suddenly visit my humble abode?"
"Of course I'll help you solve your problems," Gu Liyan said righteously.
"You've forgotten it yourself, so how can you help me answer it?"
Cui Ming has given up on himself.
"If I set the question, then I think... I'm testing myself! So I also want to know how I would give the correct answer!" Gu Liyan said confidently.
Cui Ming raised his head and looked at the Buddha statue, saying, "My benefactor gave me the Heavenly Sword and told me that if one day you can see Buddha in your eyes and have Buddha in your heart, all your problems will be solved..."
Gu Liyan looked up at the Buddha statue, thinking about what Cui Ming had just said, and suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, this problem is not difficult, there is a solution!"
Cui Ming looked at Gu Liyan with delight, "What's the answer?"
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, the Imperial Heaven Sword appeared in his hand.
“This is…” Cui Ming looked at him in confusion.
Gu Liyan's lips curled slightly upwards, and suddenly he leaped up, slashing his sword at the Buddha statue—
Cui Ming's eyes widened.
"No--"
Boom...
The Buddha statue instantly shattered into countless fragments and collapsed with a deafening roar!
Cui Ming froze on the spot, trembling and unable to speak.
Gu Liyan laughed heartily, turned his head, and said with a smile:
"To remember a Buddha at first sight is to have Buddha in your eyes! To have unwavering devotion and never forget is to have Buddha in your heart! This is my answer!"
