Waking up from his dream, Gu Liyan stared blankly at the ceiling, and only then did he truly feel the emptiness in his heart.
"Awake?" The voice beside him wasn't An Qianbai's, nor Mo Han's, but Mo Chen's, who had just returned from a mission.
Gu Liyan covered his face and said nothing. Tears could be seen falling from the corners of his eyes. Seeing Gu Liyan like this, Mo Chen sighed helplessly and said earnestly:
"There are many things in this world that are beyond our control, especially fate. The more we try to change it, the further we stray from its course."
Gu Liyan sat up, put her hands together, and looked at Mo Chen, saying, "So you're not planning to pursue love anymore, is that right?"
Mo Chen choked, then awkwardly said, "Back in the day, I was quite the ladies' man. Don't forget, I even dared to pursue my own master!"
Gu Liyan sat up and glanced at him. "You not only dared to chase after him, you even dared to pursue him! But in the end, you and the child ran away together!"
Mo Chen said awkwardly, "Ahem. We're all in the same boat, so please don't criticize me!"
Gu Liyan pouted. "And in the end? You found Mo Hua?"
"Shh..." Mo Chen said in a tense and mysterious voice, "Keep your voice down."
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Chen, who seemed guilty, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"You don't know, Mo Hua is now a martyr, he's already on the list of dead people!" Mo Chen said solemnly.
“But she’s alive!” Gu Liyan said truthfully.
“She is alive, but it’s different. She’s been removed from the list. If she’s found to be alive, many people will be implicated due to mismanagement.” Mo Chen said, looking at Gu Liyan’s disdainful gaze, he coughed lightly and said, “Ahem, don’t talk about bureaucracy. The management in the Nine Springs Realm is very strict. Every position is being watched. If you make a mistake, it’s not just your superiors who will be implicated, but your subordinates will also be implicated and suppressed.”
Gu Liyan pouted, "Anyway, I didn't do anything wrong..."
"Big brother, don't you know how many times you've been criticized by the higher-ups for your willful pursuit of your so-called love?" Mo Chen rolled his eyes and said irritably.
"Huh? How come I didn't know?" Gu Liyan asked awkwardly, taken aback.
"Nonsense, I was just asked to spread good deeds for you!" Mo Chen glared at Gu Liyan.
Upon hearing Mo Chen's words, Gu Liyan seemed to realize something. "You were entrusted by someone? Who entrusted you?"
"Ahem, well..." Mo Chen hesitated to speak for a moment.
Just as Gu Liyan was about to continue questioning, the door was suddenly pushed open, and that familiar voice came:
"Tell me, who can order you around and make you do things?" Mo Han said as he walked in, his eyes narrowed.
Seeing Mo Han enter, Mo Chen said awkwardly:
"Cough cough cough, well... my throat is a little dry, I, I'll go find some water."
After saying that, Mo Chen flew away like a bird. Gu Liyan glanced at the teapot on the table next to him and narrowed his eyes slightly: Coward!
Mo Han sat in the chair and took out a packet of tea leaves, and started brewing tea.
Gu Liyan frowned as she looked at Mo Han: What is this guy trying to do? Doesn't he know how much I hate him right now?
A sweet fragrance filled the room. Looking at Mo Han's calm and composed expression, Gu Liyan really couldn't figure out what he was up to!
Splash—
Mo Han poured herself a cup of tea, and just as she picked it up to drink, she noticed Gu Liyan's sharp gaze. She couldn't help but smile and say, "What? Do you want to try my tea too?"
Gu Liyan pursed her lips and said nothing, only glaring at Mo Han, cursing him countless times in her heart.
Looking at Gu Liyan's expression, Mo Han couldn't help but tease, "I was thinking the same thing. As members of the Bai ethnic group, we are all petty, hate evil, and are always ready to take revenge. If you don't hate me, I really don't know what to do!"
Gu Liyan took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and said, "Gu Changyuan, we are now even, so please don't interfere with any of my actions from now on!"
Mo Han burst into laughter. "Alright, since that's the case, then I've come all this way for nothing! As for the location of Hua Baixian's reincarnation, I don't think there's any need to tell you!"
After saying that, Mo Han stood up and prepared to leave.
Gu Liyan was stunned: Xiao Bai's place of reincarnation? So Xiao Bai has already embarked on the cycle of reincarnation?!
"Wait a minute!" Gu Liyan hurriedly said.
Mo Han turned his head with a slight upturn of his lips, looking at Gu Liyan with a mocking expression, "What, does Lord Mo Li have something else to say?"
Gu Liyan pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Please, please tell me her whereabouts, Lord Mo Han..."
"Huh? The wind is too strong, I didn't hear what you said!" Mo Han sneered.
Gu Liyan gritted her teeth and said loudly, "I beg Lord Mo Han to consider our shared sect and tell me her whereabouts!"
"You mean Hua Baixian? She seems to be... oh dear, I can't remember right now." Mo Han said with a smug look on his face, "If only someone would let me step on her!"
Step on it?
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Han with surprise. In the Bai ethnic group, the word "Bai" meant contempt, and there was only one way to satisfy him...
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Han coldly and asked, "Do you really want to do this?"
"Heh, I used to get trampled on by others a lot to protect you. You say we're even? Are you kidding me? You'll never be able to make it up to me!" Mo Han sneered, curling her lip.
Gu Liyan took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, I understand."
He bent his knees and lay face down on the ground.
Seeing Gu Liyan's actions, Mo Han's eyes flashed with indifference. "Gu Liyan, remember this: you will never be able to repay me!"
