Just as he was about to reach out, Gu Liyan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze meeting those eyes with a hint of coldness. "What are you doing?"
An Qianbai was so frightened that she quickly backed away, blushing as she shrank to the side.
Gu Liyan frowned slightly and ignored An Qianbai. However, having just woken up, he inexplicably felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he were being pricked by needles.
An Qianbai looked at Gu Liyan's pale face with concern, but felt powerless to help or even utter a word of concern.
"I healed you out of pity and to take advantage of you, not because I acknowledged you. You'd better recognize your place and know how to respect yourself!" Gu Liyan said coldly.
An Qianbai was slightly taken aback. Looking at Gu Liyan's threatening gaze, she pursed her lips and could only obediently nod.
Deep down, she knew that if someone could speak of sympathy and exploitation without any reservations, how could that person be a bad person?
An Qianbai smiled slightly, secretly observing his emotional changes. Even his icy indifference didn't bother her at all.
Looking into An Qianbai's burning gaze, Gu Liyan felt as if he had punched cotton. It seemed that no matter what he said, this girl would listen to him and would not refute him at all.
Ah, indeed she couldn't refute anything; she was completely unable to speak.
Gu Liyan sighed. Mo Han was really cunning, bringing this woman to his side. What a scheme!
Just as Gu Liyan was about to stand up, An Qianbai hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
Gu Liyan wanted to pour a glass of water, but An Qianbai immediately took it from him and did it for him;
Gu Liyan browsed the books on the bookshelf, and An Qianbai quickly categorized and arranged all the books in front of him...
“You…” Gu Liyan pointed at An Qianbai, speechless. The latter blinked her big, watery eyes at Gu Liyan…
Is this the kind of care Mo Han was talking about? Turning him into a useless piece of trash?!
Gu Liyan took a deep breath, pointed at An Qianbai, and shouted, "You! Go to sleep right now! This book is confidential; you can't look at it!"
An Qianbai blinked and happily went to bed! Gu Liyan's lips twitched involuntarily when he saw this. Why did he have to give this woman a chance to get treatment?
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Shaking his head, Gu Liyan focused his attention on the ancient manuals. Although the books here did not record the history of the myriad worlds, they did record the methods and techniques of martial arts cultivation in different worlds. All the techniques that had ever appeared were recorded.
It was deliberately placed here, presumably for reference in order to quickly recover or directly improve one's cultivation level...
Gu Liyan skimmed through the text, discarding a large number of sword techniques, saber techniques, and fist techniques. He found very few that satisfied him, and none that were both satisfactory and suitable for him!
"Smack—"
The last martial arts manual was thrown into the corner, and Gu Liyan was furious. "Is there not a single decent martial arts technique in this vast world? All we have are some fancy and useless things!"
Gu Liyan said indignantly, "How can something like this surpass Mo Han!"
Hearing Gu Liyan's emotional outburst, An Qianbai hurriedly sat up and looked at Gu Liyan. His face was still deathly pale, and his body was trembling slightly with anxiety and anger.
An Qianbai looked at Gu Liyan with heartache, disregarding his previous orders, she got up and came to his side, taking his hand...
The warmth of her hand was palpable. Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback, his anger instantly subsiding. He turned to look at An Qianbai, whose eyes held a multitude of emotions that moved him deeply. But overall, all the feelings Gu Liyan saw could be summed up in two words—adoration!
Gu Liyan's heart trembled violently, filled with suspicion and resistance: What exactly does Mo Han want by sending her to my side? Could it be that he wants me to fall in love with someone else and give up An Qianbai...?
Thinking about this, Gu Liyan's thoughts gradually became clear: Yes, it was I who proposed changing someone's fate, which caused Mo Han to lose his lover and friends... It's understandable that he schemed against me like this!
Gu Liyan raised his head, looked at An Qianbai, and coldly asked, "You like me?"
Hearing Gu Liyan's words, An Qianbai's heart pounded, and she couldn't contain her excitement: "Xiao Li, he recognized me? That's wonderful! That's wonderful, he recognized me..."
Seeing An Qianbai's excited and joyful eyes, Gu Liyan knew her answer! Then he slowly raised his hand...
Snap—
Thump—
An Qianbai fell to the ground, sitting there in disbelief, looking up at Gu Liyan—
The burning pain on her face told her that Gu Liyan's slap was real!
He actually...
He hit himself?!
Tears welled up in An Qianbai's eyes, and even though she didn't speak, she felt suffocated...
Gu Liyan watched as tears streamed down her face, his gaze flickering slightly, but he perfectly concealed his emotions. "Stop playing the victim. I already know what Mo Han is thinking. You want me to like you? Don't even dream about it!"
His icy tone was sharp and pierced An Qianbai's heart. She wanted to explain, but she had no chance to do so!
An Qianbai stood up and gave Gu Liyan a deep look. That look contained no resentment, no admiration, it was like the gaze of a stranger, devoid of any emotion.
Meeting those eyes, Gu Liyan was slightly taken aback, sensing that something was amiss.
An Qianbai smiled faintly, turned her head and walked towards the door. Gu Liyan was about to remind her that there was a restriction outside the door, but then he thought that she was sent by Mo Han and should have a way to get in and out.
The words stuck in his throat, and his hand, raised in mid-air, finally fell...
