Last night it rained heavily, today it's just drizzling.
Gu Liyan stood at the door for a long time, holding a red umbrella, gazing at the sky city, which seemed to attract countless heroes to bow down at every moment.
As the clouds parted, a ray of sunlight pierced through the gloom and shone upon the earth, making the figure of the white-clad youth radiant.
At this moment, there was a noise in Leng Shaohan's room. Pushing open the door, a young man dressed in white walked out, holding a paper fan and smiling. He immediately saw Gu Liyan standing at the door and greeted him with a smile:
"I didn't expect that there are so many people who toss and turn and can't sleep."
Gu Liyan knew it was him, turned around and smiled slightly at him, "So you can't wait any longer, wanting to make a name for yourself?"
"In this life, you either remain unknown or make a name for yourself! People like you and me, burdened with heavy responsibilities, will inevitably have to do something great to make a name for ourselves sooner or later!" Leng Shaohan raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Besides, isn't our goal to stand out from the crowd?"
Gu Liyan's lips curled up slightly. "I thought that by observing for a day, I could discover a shortcut to Sky City and learn some clues about it. It's just a pity that no one has touched that world..."
"It seems we have no choice but to go up and find out what's going on."
Clenching his fists, Gu Liyan had already made up his mind.
"I've said before that I will do everything I can to help you, as long as you can fulfill our agreement." Leng Shaohan opened his paper fan and squinted, like another fox.
Before Gu Liyan could say anything, a figure suddenly leaped down from the tree and appeared in front of the two. Without even looking, it was clear that the newcomer was Mo Chen.
"Now that we've decided, let's go and give it a try!"
Looking at Mo Chen, who seemed rather impatient, Gu Liyan couldn't help but smile. He had never imagined such a meteoric rise, but now that he had someone to rely on and someone he wanted to protect, he had nothing to fear anymore!
The three people who had been traveling together headed towards the sky city—
At this moment, Yin Yang and Xuan Qing'er were guarding the door of Wu Wenfeng's room.
"Yin Yang." Xuan Qing'er looked at Yin Yang's indifferent profile and subconsciously called out softly.
Yin Yang turned to look at her, and asked in confusion, "What?"
"Oh, no, it's nothing. It's just that I feel like I've been a burden to you all these years, so..." Xuan Qing'er said apologetically.
Yin Yang looked at Xuan Qing'er with a calm expression:
What are you trying to say?
Xuan Qing'er was caught off guard, not expecting Yin Yang to ask her so directly.
"I, I actually—"
Before Xuan Qing'er could speak, Wu Wenfeng's door was pushed open, and Wu Wenfeng rushed out, shouting urgently:
"Ahhh—Oh no! Oh no! I overslept! My older brother is missing!" Wu Wenfeng ran out while putting on his shoes. "I practiced my Lingfeng lightness skill day and night, but I still messed up at the crucial moment! How could my older brother abandon me like this!"
Before Wu Wenfeng could take a few steps, Yin Yang blocked his way and said, "Mo Chen and the others didn't tell you not to go, so they sent me to block the door and stop you."
Xuan Qing'er looked embarrassed, not expecting Yin Yang to tell the truth so directly.
Wu Wenfeng's eyes widened. "What?! Why won't you let me go? Why can't I go? What did I do wrong?!"
"They said it's because they're too young and not suitable to go," Yin Yang said.
Upon hearing Yin Yang's words, Wu Wenfeng felt as if he had been struck by a critical hit.
"And also because of our strength!" Yin Yang added earnestly.
Wu Wenfeng's face darkened – there's no love left, absolutely no love left!
Wu Wenfeng wanted to refute the explanation of Yin and Yang, but among them, he was the youngest and the weakest, so he had no say at all...
Wu Wenfeng sighed, raised his head to look at the Sky City above the sky, and softly spoke:
"I hope my older brother and the others can return safely."
Yin Yang followed his gaze, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
—On the observation platform, many people were already watching over Hero Road early in the morning.
However, the road to heroism is littered with the graves of heroes, where countless heroes have fallen.
An Qianshan arrived at the observation platform, only to find An Qianbai already sitting there for an unknown amount of time. Seeing An Qianbai's expectant gaze, An Qianshan finally felt relieved and calmly began to speak:
“Xiao Bai, I went to call you early this morning, but you didn’t respond. I thought you weren’t going to come. Now that I see you here, I’m relieved.”
"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Father. But I'm all grown up now and I don't need your guidance anymore. Please don't treat me like a child." An Qianbai replied calmly, without even looking up as the loser fell in the sky.
Instead of being angry, An Qianshan spoke with a look of satisfaction:
"As long as you see the true nature of this world, your father would be willing to lose anything!"
Upon hearing this, An Qianbai turned to look at An Qianshan, pointed to the fallen figure in the sky, and spoke:
"The essence of the world? In your eyes, is the world only about the survival of the strong and the death of the weak?" An Qianbai asked with sharp, cold eyes. "Also, you said you can lose as much as you want, including your Shadow Hall?"
An Qianshan was taken aback. He felt a sudden fear in An Qianbai's sharp eyes. Forcibly suppressing his fear, An Qianshan spoke gently:
"No matter how you refuse, if anything happens to me, the Shadow Hall will ultimately be handed over to you. Everything I've done is to ensure you are qualified to inherit the Shadow Hall. If you truly care about your own gains and losses, then become stronger and make me fear you!"
