As for their life together afterward, no further questions were asked.
——
Following Luo Zichen's directions, Gu Liyan arrived at the Flower Sorrow Pool.
"I never imagined that the Flower Sorrow Pool was actually connected to that world!"
Looking around, Gu Liyan realized that the Sky City was still under the vast sky.
"I don't know where Xiao Bai is right now. I need to make sure she's safe first." With that in mind, Gu Liyan decided to investigate this Sky City.
Just then, I suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"What's your purpose in bringing me here? And what about Gu Liyan? What have you done to him?"
An Qianbai was locked in the wooden hut where Hua Baixian had once lived by Cang Mu. At this moment, Cang Mu and the others were staring at Hua Baixian intently. Seeing the unbridled gazes of those around her, An Qianbai was enraged and cursed, "You bunch of bastards!"
Tianqi smiled slightly and nodded with some satisfaction. "She really looks exactly like the Flower Goddess. Coupled with the faint aura of death around her, I think she is the reincarnation of the Flower Goddess."
Cang Mu sneered, "Gu Liyan killed my son because of this woman. I didn't expect Emperor Tianqi to still be able to laugh."
"For the sake of the Heavenly Palace's great cause, some sacrifices are inevitable, aren't they?" Tianqi said with a smile. "Moreover, this woman will become a sacrificial offering at the sacrificial ceremony tomorrow, which can be considered as avenging Young Master Yunzhi!"
Cang Mu squinted at An Qianbai, "She alone isn't enough, I want Gu Liyan to be buried with her too!"
"No, no, no, if Gu Liyan dies, the Heavenly Palace will still be a dead city. He must live!" Tianqi said with a smile.
"Are you perhaps biased towards him?" Cang Mu asked coldly.
"Favoritism? That guy disrespected me, why would I favor him? I just want to tell the Venerable Emperor Cangmu that sometimes it is more painful to make the enemy wish they were dead!"
As he spoke, Tianqi gave an evil smile and stared at An Qianbai. When An Qianbai saw those evil and terrifying eyes, she subconsciously trembled.
Tianqi lifted his foot and walked towards An Qianbai.
"What... what do you want to do?" An Qianbai's expression changed, and her voice trembled slightly.
"Our Heavenly Palace has developed a reincarnation technique that can brainwash people. I wonder what special effects it would have on the former Flower Goddess—"
Tianqi smiled and said, "Moreover, I also want to see if Gu Liyan will actually lay a hand on his beloved Flower Goddess..."
Upon hearing Tianqi's words, An Qianbai immediately understood what he was going to do: they wanted to brainwash her and use her to deal with Gu Liyan!
Gu Liyan took great care of her, and she never expected that she would end up being Gu Liyan's enemy!
"No! You can't..."
——
Gu Liyan frowned, his gaze falling on the former residence of Hua Baixian, a strange anxiety rising in his heart.
"What's wrong with me? I keep having this bad feeling?"
Just like when I parted ways with the Hundred Fairies of Flowers in my previous lives, it always makes my heart flutter...
Gu Liyan frowned, feeling unsafe in Tianfu City, and immediately returned to the ground.
"First, I'll go find An Qianshan and ask him to take charge of the Shadow Hall..." Gu Liyan made up her mind and went straight to the Shadow Hall.
Returning to the Shadow Hall, Gu Liyan still felt some fear. The darkness was still filled with the strong smell of blood, as Gu Liyan had almost died here!
As Gu Liyan walked into the Shadow Hall, he saw no guards. He was a little puzzled, but he still walked to the end.
In the main hall of the Shadow Hall, An Qianshan sat there dejectedly, a glass of scarlet red wine in front of him, but he couldn't bring himself to drink it.
Just then, footsteps came from outside the main hall, but An Qianshan paid no attention, his gaze fixed on the red wine in front of him.
Soon, the owner of the footsteps arrived at the main hall and stood at the unobstructed entrance.
An Qianshan lowered his head, sniffed the red wine in his glass, and said, "Since you're here, why don't you come in?"
Gu Liyan stepped forward from outside the hall, his white robes still spotless.
An Qianshan glanced at Gu Liyan and slowly said, "I thought you would take action immediately upon seeing Xiaobai being captured, but I misjudged you..."
Gu Liyan didn't speak when he heard An Qianshan's words. He wanted to make a move, but Gu Li slapped him unconscious!
Gu Liyan looked around and found that no one was lurking in the darkness, which reassured her.
"Hehe, don't worry, my Shadow Hall is already dead in name only. There are no more Shadow Guards under my command." An Qianshan chuckled, his voice bitter and full of helplessness.
Gu Liyan frowned slightly, and before he could ask, An Qianshan spoke up on his own:
"I dedicated my entire life to the Shadow Hall, even betraying my conscience. But I never imagined that, despite gaining both honor and power, I would still be unable to resurrect my woman, still unable to save my daughter!"
Gu Liyan looked at An Qianshan, unsure of what to say.
"My woman died saving me, and before she died, she gave birth to Xiaobai, who was born with an aura of death. I don't know how I changed after that. I became suspicious, ruthless, and killed everyone who stood in my way! And so, slowly my territory and my honor became known as the Shadow!"
Gu Liyan listened quietly to the success story of a powerful figure.
"But I discovered that my woman's spirit is still alive. I don't know why she's my enemy. She hates me and wants to destroy everything I have. How ridiculous! The woman who died for me has turned against me in the blink of an eye, and she's even seeking revenge as a spirit! Hahaha—"
An Qianshan burst into maniacal laughter, but Gu Liyan, with her sharp eyes, noticed tears welling up in his eyes…
