Gu Liyan was unaware of the past story between Gu Li and Gu Yan, but he could tell that Gu Li liked the eldest aunt who resembled Luo Zichen, while the second aunt who resembled Li Erniang liked Gu Li. However, the eldest aunt did not seem to have any romantic feelings for Gu Li; it was just a matter of sibling affection.
As for the willful and capricious Yan Muxue, she has now become Gu Liyan's shadow, and Gu Liyan really dares not comment on her.
Gu Li led everyone to Thousand Absolutes Mountain. Upon seeing the Thousand Absolutes Mountain, which resembled a fairyland, everyone was filled with astonishment. Yan Muxue chattered incessantly in Gu Liyan's ear:
Wow! There's a deer here! Look, it's smiling at me!
"Look, look, these butterflies are so beautiful!"
"Ah! Is this a fox? It looks just like a puppy!"
Gu Liyan watched Yan Muxue walk and shout, which had already frightened most of the monsters in Qianjue Mountain. He shook his head with disgust, but did not reprimand her because of the presence of others.
Luo Zichen looked at Yan Muxue and did not criticize her either. Instead, she smiled at Gu Li and said, "I didn't expect that you were the fox spirits from Thousand Absolute Mountain that people were talking about. I was really stupid. I should have guessed it earlier."
Li Erniang still finds it hard to believe:
"Are you really fox spirits? I always thought fox spirits could take human form, yet still retain fox characteristics. I never imagined it was you..."
Gu Liyan smiled slightly and nodded, "The fox spirits that the people down the mountain are talking about are indeed me and Gu Yan."
“However, there are now two more little fox spirits, with Gu Liyan being the youngest. As for your guesses about what fox spirits look like, foxes that haven’t reached adulthood and taken human form are just like you described, such as Little Li…” Gu Li smiled as he looked at Gu Liyan.
Upon hearing this, Yan Muxue curiously approached Gu Liyan and began to scrutinize him. Gu Liyan replied irritably, "What are you looking at me for?"
Yan Muxue stroked her chin and stared at Gu Liyan. "Strange, he's just like an ordinary person. He doesn't have any fox-like features!"
"Hehe, that's just an illusion. If you don't believe me, look..." After Gu Li finished speaking, he raised his hand and shot out a beam of cyan light into Gu Liyan's body. The next second, a pair of fox ears and nine tails suddenly appeared, making him look exactly like a little fox.
Gu Liyan twitched his ears and rolled his eyes. He realized that his martial uncle really loved to sell himself!
"He, he, he, he..." Yan Muxue's eyes widened at Gu Liyan's change, and she pointed at him, speechless with surprise.
Gu Liyan flicked his tail, put his hands on his hips, and glared at Yan Muxue with annoyance. "See that, little girl? I'm a little fox spirit. You'd better show me some respect from now on!"
Everyone laughed at Gu Liyan's old-fashioned words. Yan Muxue not only laughed, but also brazenly reached out and touched Gu Liyan's ear, teasingly saying, "Oh my, you've been completely dominated by this little mortal girl, yet you still call yourself a fox spirit? You're really disgracing the fox spirits!"
Gu Liyan blushed. "I... I was just being a gentleman and didn't want to fight with you. Otherwise, how could I have been bullied by a little girl like you!"
"Good, good, you're amazing! Little fox!" Yan Muxue covered her mouth and laughed, rubbing Gu Liyan's ears with her hands. The feeling was so comfortable!
Gu Liyan glared at Yan Moxue in annoyance, pushed her hand away, and before he could complain, the clouds in the sky suddenly blocked the sun. Looking up, he thought it was going to rain, but the next second, Gu Liyan saw a colorful cloud coming towards them.
"It's Master!" Gu Liyan exclaimed. Here, the domain was filled with clouds and mist, and Gu Yan was all alone. There was no one else besides him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the colorful cloud arrived, transforming into a streak of colorful light and descending. Gu Yan appeared before everyone, dressed in neat white robes, with smooth silver hair, and a cold, handsome face.
Upon seeing Gu Yan appear before her, Luo Zichen trembled and stammered, "Ah, A Yan..."
"Big brother!" Li Erniang blurted out excitedly.
Gu Yan's gaze sharpened slightly as she looked at the two women, but she said nothing. Instead, she turned to Gu Li with an indifferent expression and coldly asked, "Did you bring them here?"
Gu Li nodded and said, "Yes, I think that matter happened fifty years ago, we should at least meet again to settle our differences, after all, we're about to..."
Before Gu Li could finish speaking, Gu Yan interrupted him coldly, "The knot in my heart is already tied; it will naturally untie itself if I don't interfere. Besides, the debt of gratitude was settled fifty years ago with Man'er's death; we are now strangers!"
Gu Yan's words made Luo Zichen tremble and stagger back a few steps, feeling deeply shocked! Li Erniang hurriedly went up to support her, looking at Gu Yan with a bitter face without saying a word.
"Gu Yan, how can you say that? We've been through so much together. Don't you miss anything about what we went through?" Gu Li said, criticizing the two of them as they were deeply hurt.
Gu Yan coldly said, "Our identities are different from others, and besides, we are now nearly nine thousand years old. There are too many things in the past. If I were to remember everything I met, wouldn't I be bothered to death by those trivial matters for the rest of my life!"
"You..." Gu Li wanted to say something, but Luo Zichen stopped him.
Luo Zichen's eyes were slightly red and moist. She gritted her teeth and choked as she looked at Gu Yan, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word.
Gu Yan didn't even glance at her, but coldly addressed Gu Li, "Today you brought them to Thousand Absolute Mountain, violating the mountain rules. You are punished by being sent to the Gravity Abyss to face the wall for ten years. Do you have any complaints?"
Ten years?!
Not only was Gu Li's eyes wide, but Gu Liyan also looked at Gu Yan in disbelief. Usually, he and Gu Changyuan were punished by being made to face the wall in seclusion, so why was Gu Li being punished today? Gu Li was a free spirit and disliked being bound by worldly constraints, so how could he willingly face the wall in seclusion! For a full ten years!
