A thousand longings become memories
A song of parting sorrow, a cup of grief
The knot of longing is tied up, and every strand is imbued with her essence...
Gu Liyan slightly raised his head and stared blankly at An Qianbai's carefully styled hair in the mirror.
If we could stay together forever, then there would be no longing between us.
If we could stay together forever, we would be free from the pain of longing.
At this moment, even gazing into each other's eyes becomes so precious—
After arranging Gu Liyan's long hair into a bun, An Qianbai smiled, put down the comb, and said:
"Although I can't see your face, Lord Mo Li, I think this hairstyle suits you very well. I wonder if you like it?"
Gu Liyan didn't have time to look at himself in the mirror, but turned to An Qianbai and said:
"You can do anything you want with your own hands. There's nothing to doubt. Xiao Bai, you should be more confident."
Looking into Gu Liyan's burning gaze, An Qianbai's smile gradually faded, and she responded in a calm tone:
"Thank you for your praise and guidance, but I just feel that many people could do it better than me. After all... I'm not Lord Mo Li's personal maid!"
Gu Liyan didn't hear the sarcasm in An Qianbai's tone. Instead, he stared at An Qianbai for a long time, his eyes seemingly sparkling with stars, as if he wanted to keep this beautiful woman in his starry sky!
"Xiao Bai, as your friend, I have a piece of advice for you: don't participate in tomorrow's election. Even if it's your father's order, you have the right to refuse! So..."
Before Gu Liyan could finish speaking, An Qianbai sneered, "So?"
An Qianbai chuckled and looked at Gu Liyan with a mocking tone, "So, Lord Mo Li, are you ordering me around? Do you think you, a stranger I've only met once, have the right to order me around, or does my father, who provides me with a life of luxury, have the right?"
Gu Liyan choked, swallowing all the words in his mouth. Her gaze was too cold, making him dare not get any closer to her.
"Lord Mo Li, I helped you only because I didn't want to owe you a favor. You'd better re-evaluate yourself. You have no right to point fingers at me, much less order me around!" An Qianbai pushed away Gu Liyan's hand, her expression as cold as ever.
"Lord Mo Li, you can forget about the friendship you crave. We're even now, so please leave!"
Hearing An Qianbai's cold words, Gu Liyan stiffened slightly and nodded:
"You're right, we...we can't be friends..."
As Gu Liyan uttered those words, his heart ached so badly he felt like he was suffocating. He looked up and gazed deeply at An Qianbai, meeting her icy eyes. The pain was unbearable...
He wanted to escape, to escape to a place where she couldn't see him, hoping that the pain would lessen.
Gu Liyan's gaze dimmed, the brilliance from before gone.
"I'm sorry, I overestimated myself!"
An Qianbai was slightly taken aback when she heard Gu Liyan's words. Was the person in front of her, who bowed his head and looked humble, really the chosen one?
Aren't all chosen ones like Bu Yunzhi—arrogant, domineering, and unrestrained?
Why……
She thought he was going to say something flattering or threatening, but to her surprise, Gu Liyan was completely uninterested and had no intention of forcing her.
Instead, he sincerely apologized to himself. Wasn't he just like those people?
An Qianbai simply couldn't understand him, nor could she see through him.
“I can’t be your friend, but… as Gu Liyan’s friend, I must remind you that I don’t want his beloved woman… to be drawn into the vortex of conspiracy…” Gu Liyan stood at the window, gazing at An Qianbai as he spoke gently.
An Qianbai stared blankly at Gu Liyan. For a fleeting moment, she seemed to sense that Gu Liyan cared about her.
An Qianbai pursed her lips and snorted coldly, "You'd better mind your own business! You might not even survive tomorrow's election, and as for me, it's none of your concern!"
Hearing An Qianbai's words, Gu Liyan smiled instead of getting angry, "I will be careful and take good care of myself, Xiaobai..."
After saying that, Gu Liyan turned around without hesitation, jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the night.
An Qianbai was slightly taken aback. In that instant, she seemed to realize something, and hurriedly went to the window to look at the white-clad youth who had already disappeared into the night, murmuring to herself:
"Why...why does he always call me Xiao Bai?"
——
At the moment dawn breaks, all things begin to awaken, brimming with the breath of life.
At that moment, a colossal sky city descended from the heavens, situated directly above the imperial city, instantly becoming part of the unified world!
Everyone was stunned by the enormous and magnificent sky city, and they all had different opinions about it.
"Is this the Sky City that leads to the Land of Abundance?"
"The chosen one has the qualification to ascend to the Sky City. Once they get there, it's like ascending to heaven in one step!"
"I really wonder who will be the chosen one this year and pass the three trials of Tianfu. It's so exciting."
Several familiar figures in the crowd gazed at the Sky City. Wu Wenfeng tilted his head, scrutinizing the uniquely styled Sky City with utmost seriousness, and asked with curiosity, "Does Tianfu still build cities? Why does the Sky City that descended from Tianfu this year seem so different from those of the past!"
Leng Shaohan snapped his fan shut and gently tapped Wu Wenfeng's head. "You blockhead! You're not just different, you're practically two different people! You even exude an aura that even the demon capital finds repulsive..."
