Gu Liyan lay on the ground, staring blankly at the ceiling. His body had gradually recovered from the attack of the forbidden lightning, and the numbness had subsided. However, he was filled with doubts and had no idea what had happened.
Yan Muxue sat in front of him, staring intently at Gu Liyan with a smile on her face.
Gu Liyan glanced at Yan Muxue. "Why are you staring at me? And why are you smiling so sinisterly? What kind of bad idea are you plotting?"
Yan Muxue smiled and said shyly, "How could I dare! I just didn't expect that you would be so beautiful in human form!"
As she spoke, Yan Muxue pinched Gu Liyan's cheek. "Look at this, it feels really good. Am I dreaming?"
"Hey, do you want to know if you're dreaming about pinching your own face?" Gu Liyan said irritably, swatting her hand away and rubbing his own cheek.
"No, I was checking if your face was real. This is the first time I've ever seen someone grow up so fast in the blink of an eye!" Yan Muxue said with a grin. "How did you do that? Can you teach me? I want to grow up faster too!"
Gu Liyan rolled her eyes, sat up, and said irritably, "If I knew a way to grow up faster, I would have grown up long ago and wouldn't have had to wait until now."
Yan Muxue's eyes darted around, and she suddenly grabbed Gu Liyan's arm and said, "Now that you're all grown up, you kissed me and hugged me before, so it's time for you to take responsibility for me!"
Gu Liyan was startled and pulled his arm back, glaring at Yan Muxue. "Take responsibility? Take responsibility for what? The reason we kissed was just an accident! Also, I never hugged you. You hugged me on your own initiative. It has nothing to do with me!" Gu Liyan hurriedly denied it. He didn't want to have anything to do with Yan Muxue.
Yan Muxue snorted angrily and grabbed Gu Liyan's arm again, saying, "Hmph, I don't care, I'm sticking with you!"
Yan Muxue's eyes darted around, and she grinned mischievously. "How about this? Even if you don't take responsibility for me, I'll take responsibility for you! In short, you can't abandon me!"
"When did I say I was abandoning you? No, I am a dignified nine-tailed fox, what responsibility do I have for a mortal like you?" Gu Liyan glared at Yan Moxue.
Yan Muxue clung tightly to Gu Liyan's arm, pouting, "I don't care! You've hugged me, you've kissed me, and you're the one who brought me up the mountain, so you have to protect me!"
"It was my uncle who brought you up the mountain! It has nothing to do with me!" Gu Liyan said irritably, then pushed Yan Muxue away.
Yan Muxue cried out "Ouch!" and stumbled to the ground, her eyes reddening with grievance. She stood up and glared fiercely at Gu Liyan, stamping her foot angrily. "Gu Liyan, are you not going to take responsibility for me?"
"I..." Gu Liyan felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at her aggrieved expression, but then he thought of Hua Baixian, and he steeled himself and nodded, saying, "That's right! We're not even friends, so what's the point of talking about taking responsibility?"
"you……"
Upon hearing Gu Liyan's words, Yan Muxue's eyes immediately welled up with tears, which streamed down her face. She pointed at Gu Liyan and cursed, "You bastard! Waaaaah—"
After saying that, she glared at Gu Liyan, wiped away her tears, turned around, and ran out.
Gu Liyan saw Yan Muxue cover her face and run out the door. He wanted to call her back, but stopped at the door. "Why would I chase after her? I don't like her anyway..."
After saying this, Gu Liyan suddenly felt his heart beating faster for no reason, and his expression changed instantly. "How could this be? I, how could I have done this to her..."
Gu Liyan shook his head: How could I possibly like her? I only love Xiao Bai! I can't like her!
Splash—
The wind and rain outside the window did not stop; on the contrary, they grew more and more intense, as if urging Gu Liyan on.
Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Gu Liyan still felt uneasy. "It's raining so hard outside, and it's so dark. Yan Muxue will definitely be scared. If she catches a cold, I'll be the one in trouble in the end..."
Gu Liyan thought for a moment, "I'll still try to win her back, and then tell her that I already have someone I like and that I can't like her."
Having made up his mind, Gu Liyan was about to chase after Yan Moxue when he suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching the ancestral hall.
Gu Liyan thought that there was no one else besides Gu Yan who possessed such a powerful aura in Qianjue Mountain!
Gu Liyan beamed with joy. "Father has arrived! That's wonderful! Now I can tell him that I am his son!"
Gu Liyan went out to greet him with a look of excitement.
Gu Yan watched as a figure in white emerged from the ancestral hall. When he saw the person clearly, he was suddenly stunned. Then, his whole body was filled with murderous intent, and his figure was like a bolt of lightning, instantly arriving in front of Gu Liyan.
Gu Liyan felt a blur before her eyes, and a figure appeared in front of her. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Gu Yan.
"division……"
Before Gu Liyan could speak, Gu Yan pointed his sword at him and shouted, "White Emperor! I never expected you to dare come to the ancestral hall!"
Gu Liyan felt a ringing in his ears. Before he could react, a cold blade pierced his chest, and blood immediately began to spread, staining his white clothes crimson.
Gu Liyan stared wide-eyed at Gu Yan, who was filled with rage. His lips moved slightly as he was about to say something, but before he could speak, Gu Yan shouted and with a forceful thrust, plunged the entire blade into Gu Liyan's chest.
"Ah... Pfft—" Gu Liyan groaned, spitting out a mouthful of blood mist. His chest heaved as he looked at Gu Yan with a look of astonishment and terror.
Seeing Gu Liyan severely injured, Gu Yan showed no mercy and shouted again, forcefully pushing him into the ancestral hall. Gu Liyan was in great pain, but he was powerless to resist and had no chance to speak.
