This crazy woman not only took up his room but also wasted his precious time. How could he possibly give her a good look? He'd be lucky if he didn't throw her out!
Upon hearing this, Yan Muxue hurriedly got out of bed and, disregarding her weakness, staggered to Gu Changyuan's side. "I'm sorry, I'm disturbing you. Please take me to find Xiao Li."
Gu Changyuan looked at the swaying, weak Yan Muxue and sneered, "I advise you to stay here and rest instead..."
"I'm fine, all I want to do right now is see Xiao Li..." Yan Muxue interrupted Gu Changyuan as she spoke hastily.
Gu Changyuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Do you think he's someone you can just see whenever you want?"
Yan Muxue looked at Gu Changyuan in confusion, "What?"
"Xiao Li's injuries are quite serious, and he's still not out of danger. I'm telling you he's alright just to put your mind at ease; it's true he's not dead," Gu Changyuan said calmly.
Yan Muxue glanced at Gu Changyuan and muttered, "Why do you seem to care about Xiaoli at all..."
Gu Changyuan glared at Yan Muxue. "What good is your concern? Even I couldn't save him, let alone you, a mere mortal!"
"I..." Yan Muxue was about to retort that she wasn't a mortal but a half-demon, but she didn't say it. Why should she tell this arrogant and aloof man her secret?
Yan Muxue sat in the chair and glared at Gu Changyuan with annoyance.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Gu Changyuan couldn't help but smile. He picked up a teacup, poured the brewed tea into it, and handed it to Yan Muxue. "This is tea made with the Longevity Grass. Try it. It's very beneficial for mortals like you."
Yan Muxue took the tea from Gu Changyuan and was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that the tea brewed with the longevity grass would be golden.
Looking at the tea in her palm, Yan Muxue couldn't help but think of the time she and Gu Liyan gathered herbs, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Seeing Yan Muxue's sorrowful appearance, Gu Changyuan said calmly, "Hey, don't say that my Thousand Absolute Mountain has neglected you. Even other branches of Thousand Absolute Mountain might not be able to taste this! Don't let your tears fall into it and pollute this hard-won cup of tea!"
Yan Muxue wiped away her tears and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp without saying a word. As soon as the tea entered her stomach, she felt a warm current spread throughout her body, dispelling the chill and sweeping away her fatigue.
Seeing Yan Muxue's actions, Gu Changyuan shook his head helplessly, "Giving you this is such a waste!"
Yan Muxue put down her teacup, ignoring Gu Changyuan's sarcasm, and instead said thank you, "I feel much better."
Gu Changyuan glanced at Yan Muxue and sneered, "Oh right, I almost forgot to tell you. If you want to leave Qianjue Mountain now, no one will stop you."
Yan Muxue looked at Gu Changyuan in surprise. "You, you want me to leave?"
Gu Changyuan stood up, walked to the window, looked at the gradually withering flowers and plants outside, and said, "Don't think that just because no one was there at the time, you can't figure out the general situation. Xiao Li activated his bloodline power to save you, causing his bloodline to grow abnormally, which is why his master mistook him for someone else and beat him severely. In the end, all of this is because of you!"
Gu Changyuan turned his head and looked coldly at Yan Muxue, saying, "If you still have the nerve to stay, I won't say anything more."
"What?" Upon hearing Gu Changyuan's words, Yan Muxue subconsciously took two steps back. "Xiao Li, it was because of me..."
Gu Changyuan coldly said, "Do you think it's normal for him to suddenly transform into human form? Activating bloodline power even once can affect one's foundation, and in severe cases, shorten one's lifespan. You are just a mortal, you are not worthy of making him pay such a price!"
"I... I didn't know Xiao Li..." Yan Muxue's eyes immediately reddened. She really didn't know it would have such an impact. If she had known, she definitely wouldn't have let Gu Liyan risk his life to save her!
Thinking about how she had ended up throwing a tantrum because Gu Liyan didn't like it, Yan Muxue hated herself.
With a look of guilt, she said, "I'm sorry, I... I really didn't know..."
"It's too late to undo what's done. All you can do is pray that Xiao Li will wake up." Gu Changyuan looked at Yan Muxue and said coldly, "Also, you should know that the life force on your body is bad luck and death energy. In order not to affect Xiao Li, it is understandable to let you leave."
Yan Muxue's nose stung with tears, and she weakly asked, "Do I really... not get to see Xiaoli one last time?"
Gu Changyuan had his back to Yan Muxue, not wanting to see her pitiful appearance. "If you want to bring him bad luck and death, you can go ahead!"
Yan Muxue pursed her lips and nodded. "I...I understand, I..."
Yan Muxue choked back a sob, biting her lip to hold back her tears. "I'm leaving now!"
Seeing Yan Muxue leave, Gu Changyuan sighed, "Master and Uncle are really something, they always make me play the bad guy... Do I look like a bad guy?"
Gu Changyuan shook his head helplessly, walked out of the room, and headed towards the Gravity Abyss.
In the cave on the other side of the Gravity Abyss, most of the evergreen grass that had been growing there had been picked, leaving the surrounding area barren and devoid of its former vitality. Gu Liyan was in the ice coffin right in the center of the evergreen grass.
Gu Liyan lay in the ice coffin, his body buried under the longevity grass, with only his head exposed.
Gu Li stepped forward, glanced at Gu Liyan, and sighed, "Xiao Li, please wake up. That bastard Gu Yan already knows he was wrong. Wake up so you can hear him say sorry!"
As she spoke, she placed the freshly picked longevity grass on Gu Liyan's face.
Seeing that Gu Liyan was already covered with longevity grass, Gu Li muttered to himself, "Can a reincarnation array really be created with a hundred longevity grasses?"
"Not enough—"
Gu Li was startled and looked towards the cave entrance. He saw Gu Yan holding a bowl in his left hand and a magical artifact emitting a faint green light in his right hand.
