Gu Liyan gripped the jade flute, its long lament, tightly in his hand; his palms were now covered in sweat.
He seems to have killed countless people in his life to protect Hua Baixian, so a few more wouldn't matter to him now.
Da-da-da
Hearing the heavy footsteps approaching, Gu Liyan's heart trembled. This was the moment when he should make a choice. If he lost this opportunity, the fate of Hua Baixian would be the same as that of An Qianbai in this life!
If that's the case, Gu Liyan will probably spend the rest of her life in self-reproach...
Gu Liyan subconsciously gripped the jade flute Chang Shang, gritted her teeth, and resolutely raised her hand, flying towards the person who was about to appear in her field of vision.
The jade flute, Long Sorrow, spun and shot out like a sharp sword blade slicing through the sky, leaving a perfect arc in the heavens. Gu Liyan turned her head away, not daring to look at the innocent person she was about to kill...
The expected scream did not come out; instead, there was a "splat" sound of flesh being ripped apart, so piercing that Gu Liyan subconsciously frowned. He knew that his move had definitely pierced through the person's body and would certainly be a fatal blow!
"Gu Liyan... what... are you doing..."
A familiar voice reached his ears, and Gu Liyan froze. He subconsciously looked up and saw a huge blood hole in the chest of the man in front of him, from which hot blood was gushing out, staining his white clothes a bright red. Looking up at the mask, Gu Liyan recognized it all too well!
Leng Shaohan was clearly just stalling for time for himself!
"Shao, Shao Han... How could it be you?!" Gu Liyan stared blankly at Leng Shao Han, feeling as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.
Leng Shaohan clutched the wound on his chest, trying to stop the bleeding, but the wound was too large and it was no use. In just a few breaths, Leng Shaohan began to feel dizzy.
With a thud, Leng Shaohan fell straight to the ground, howling in pain, "Gu Liyan, you damned fox, are you trying to kill me?!"
Seeing this, Gu Liyan hurriedly ran forward and helped Leng Shaohan up. "Shaohan, I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was you..."
As she spoke, Gu Liyan continuously transferred her life energy to Leng Shaohan. Whether it was because she had consumed too much energy before or because her life energy was being depleted too quickly within the Heavenly Palace, only a small portion of Gu Liyan's life energy flowed into Leng Shaohan's body. Seeing that more and more blood was flowing from Leng Shaohan's wound, Gu Liyan became so anxious that her hands trembled and her eyes turned red.
Leng Shaohan stared blankly at Gu Liyan, his earnest eyes focused intently on his wound, as if afraid something might happen to him. Thinking of the concern for the opposite sex revealed in that stunningly beautiful face beneath the mask, Leng Shaohan suddenly found it amusing: So even a fox can be turned gay!
Seeing Leng Shaohan staring at him with a carefree grin, Gu Liyan hurriedly shouted, "Leng Shaohan, are you crazy?! At a time like this, aren't you going to find some medicine for yourself? Didn't you say you're the most skilled doctor in the world? Hurry up, hurry up and find a way to save yourself!"
Looking at Gu Liyan's panicked expression, Leng Shaohan shook his head with a wry smile. His hoarse voice reached Gu Liyan's ears: "Gu Liyan, I haven't told you... I've used up all my savings to save you... I have no more elixirs left to use on myself..."
Upon hearing this, Gu Liyan trembled, his chest heaving. It was impossible to tell whether he was angry or sad, as his head was lowered and his expression was completely hidden.
Leng Shaohan sighed and spoke softly:
"After gathering nectar from a hundred flowers to make honey, for whom is the toil and for whom the sweetness... Gu Liyan... After meeting you, I finally understand... the meaning of this sentence..."
Gu Liyan's heart trembled violently. She raised her head to look at Leng Shaohan, her eyes filled with sincerity and guilt, and softly said, "Leng Shaohan, I... I'm sorry."
Leng Shaohan looked at Gu Liyan, whose eyes were sparkling with tears. This instantly dispelled Leng Shaohan's previous resentment, and he couldn't help but look into Gu Liyan's purple eyes and tease him with a smile:
"My God! Gu Liyan, I really didn't expect... that the fox known as the most cunning would actually shed tears..."
Gu Liyan pursed his lips and choked out, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."
How could he make such a basic mistake? Why did he attack without even seeing the person clearly? His reason was completely clouded by impulse; it was truly unintentional!
At this moment, Gu Liyan hated his own recklessness, but at this point, there was nothing he could do but apologize!
Gu Liyan's eyes reddened slightly as she looked at the wound on Leng Shaohan's chest. If only it could be healed, if only she could start over, if only...
Damn it, why is there no "what if" in this world?
If that's the case, won't he lose more friends? Just like Xiao Linzi and Shen Wei before...
Just as Gu Liyan was blaming herself, Leng Shaohan gently said, "Well, it's alright. Everyone has to come to an end someday..."
Gu Liyan looked at Leng Shaohan's dim eyes, opened her mouth as if to say something, but didn't know how to start.
In that instant, he wanted to tell him about the Nine Springs Realm, he wanted Leng Shaohan to become a member of the Nine Springs Realm as well, but doing so might expose the Nine Springs Realm to Tianqi...
Seemingly sensing Gu Liyan's hesitation, Leng Shaohan sighed and said, "Gu Liyan, please raise your head, okay? A real man... shouldn't keep his head down..."
Gu Liyan looked up at Leng Shaohan with a surprised expression.
Don't look down.
