"Waaaah... Senior Brother..." Gu Liyan's tears fell drop by drop. He felt that he hadn't seen Gu Changyuan so gentle in a very, very long time!
Gu Changyuan smiled wryly, "Alright, junior brother, stop crying! I'll apply the medicine again, and once you're better, I'll take you down the mountain to play!"
Gu Liyan raised her head and looked timidly at Gu Changyuan. "Really? Really?"
Seeing Gu Liyan's adorable, bewildered expression, Gu Changyuan couldn't help but chuckle, "Really, really!"
Gu Liyan looked at her tail, pouted, and said aggrievedly, "I don't know how to hide my tail yet..."
"What are you afraid of? Your senior brother is here! Your tail and ears will all disappear!" Gu Changyuan affectionately rubbed Gu Liyan's head. "Get some rest. Your senior brother will come to wake you up first thing tomorrow morning."
Gu Liyan smiled and nodded, feeling warm inside.
...At night, in the dim light, Gu Liyan was wide awake, still harboring some doubts:
What is happening? Is it a dream? Why does the pain in my leg feel so real...?
Gu Liyan looked puzzled and grew increasingly anxious. Just then, he heard arguing outside the door:
"Don't think you can order me around just because you have some ability! Let me tell you, Gu Yan, even if you are the clan leader and have the right to make decisions, I, Gu Li, will not agree to give up Qian Jue!" Gu Li said angrily.
Gu Yan wasn't angry. He said calmly, "I know you'll refuse, but this isn't just for the sake of our Bai clan, Gu family, but also for all the demon races in this world..."
"Get lost! I'm not as great as you!" Before Gu Yan could finish speaking, Gu Li pointed at Gu Yan and cursed him.

Gu Liyan looked down and realized he had stepped on a tree branch, and cursed inwardly.
"Who!" Gu Yan's face darkened, and he shouted.
Gu Liyan's face was pale, and he dared not step forward. Gu Yan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Little Li, was it you!"
Gu Liyan pursed his lips, about to speak, when that voice rang out from behind the railing in front of him, "It's me!"
Gu Changyuan came out and looked at Gu Yan and Gu Li. Gu Yan and Gu Li frowned and said nothing.
"Master, Uncle-Master." Gu Changyuan bowed respectfully, then frowned and looked at Gu Yan, saying, "I heard what you said. Master, why did you abandon the Bai Clan of Qianjue Mountain to develop in another world? Isn't Qianjue Mountain our home?"
“This matter has nothing to do with you, and you have no right to interfere,” Gu Yan said coldly.
Gu Changyuan gritted his teeth and said, "I am the next successor of Thousand Absolute Mountain. Is it a bit too much for Master to say that it has nothing to do with me?"
Gu Yan narrowed his eyes and Gu Changyuan spoke coldly, "I've already said, Changyuan, this is not something you can interfere with!"
“But, Master—” Gu Changyuan wanted to say something, but Gu Li waved his hand and said, “Changyuan, listen to your master. Besides, we are just planning, we have not made up our minds to abandon Thousand Absolute Mountain.”
Gu Changyuan looked at Gu Li, then nodded and relented.
Hiding in the shadows, Gu Liyan swallowed hard: Could this be the reason for the gradual decline of Thousand Absolute Mountain...?
