Gu Changyuan slipped out of the backyard and bumped into someone as soon as he reached the alley entrance, knocking the person to the ground. "Hey, can't you watch where you're going?!"
"I'm sorry," the person said weakly, lowering their head as they prepared to leave.
Gu Changyuan was taken aback, and realizing the voice sounded familiar, he called out to him, "Hey, wait a minute!"
The person swayed as if she hadn't heard him. Gu Changyuan ran up and grabbed her, looking closely at her face before being slightly taken aback. "Yan Muxue? What are you doing here?"
Yan Muxue kept her head down and didn't say a word.
Gu Changyuan frowned. "You wouldn't have been waiting for me here on purpose, would you?"
Yan Muxue glanced at Gu Changyuan and said indifferently, "I had no idea you ran down the mountain to drink and carouse here."
“Uh…” Gu Changyuan choked and retorted, “Who, who went drinking and carousing! I was just seeing an old friend!”
Yan Muxue glared at Gu Changyuan, glanced at the brothel sign, then turned to look at Gu Changyuan again, her disdain evident in her eyes.
"Uh, I used to work here, but something came up at Qianjue Mountain, so I'm here to resign," Gu Changyuan said awkwardly. But as soon as he said it, he regretted it. Why did he have to explain so much to her?
Upon hearing the words "Thousand Absolute Mountain," Yan Muxue anxiously grabbed Gu Changyuan's hand and asked, "Did something happen to Xiao Li? How is he now? Have you saved him?"
Seeing that Yan Muxue's dirty hands had soiled his clothes, Gu Changyuan pushed her away impatiently and said with a look of disgust, "Take your hands away, don't get my clothes dirty."
Yan Muxue lowered her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get your clothes dirty. I was just anxious to know how Xiao Li was..."
"Didn't I tell you not to get involved in Qianjue Mountain's affairs? Even if you did ask, what good would it do to know how they are now? Qianjue Mountain will definitely not let you live anymore," Gu Changyuan sneered.
Yan Muxue looked worried, but Gu Changyuan didn't give her a chance to speak and continued, "Also, I'd like to remind you that you must never mention anything about Thousand Absolute Mountain to outsiders, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
Yan Muxue nodded obediently, "I, I understand."
Seeing Yan Muxue's guilty expression, Gu Changyuan coldly said, "I think I need to say it again. Putting aside your status, just looking at your impolite personality, you are not worthy to be with Xiao Li! You had better have some self-awareness!"
Hearing Gu Changyuan's words, Yan Muxue nodded dejectedly, "I...I understand..."
"Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you anymore. You'd better watch yourself!" Gu Changyuan sneered.
Yan Muxue lowered her head, watching Gu Changyuan walk further and further away. She knew that it wasn't just Gu Changyuan who was leaving, but also that fox in front of him... Gu Liyan.
There was no telling how long it had been outside the brothel when suddenly a scream came from inside. A short while later, a group of people carried Qing'er's body out—
At this time, on Thousand Absolutes Mountain
The light of the Reincarnation Compass was faintly visible in the cave, enveloping Gu Liyan, Gu Yan, and Gu Li. The ice coffin could be seen melting continuously, and Gu Yan and Gu Li aged at a visible speed, their once beautiful and ageless faces now showing signs of vicissitude.
The longevity grass covering Gu Liyan quickly turned into withered leaves and then rapidly degraded into powder. In the blink of an eye, Gu Liyan's body was enveloped in a layer of powder.
The light of the Reincarnation Compass gradually faded. Gu Yan and Gu Li simultaneously withdrew their spells. Gu Yan glanced at the now aged Gu Li and nodded, saying, "You've had a hard time, old man."
Gu Li glared at Gu Yan with annoyance and said, "If I'm an old man, then you're an old man!"
Gu Yan smiled and did not continue to argue with him. Instead, she stood up shakily and sprinkled all the prepared blood essence on Gu Liyan's body. In an instant, Gu Liyan's whole body was stained with blood, and his body was flashing with a dazzling red light.
Gu Li frowned. "Your blood might be violent. Will Xiao Li be able to handle it?"
“If Xiao Li is really my son, then he won’t be affected,” Gu Yan said, waving his hand.
"That's good." Gu Li nodded in relief, glancing at the powder and melting ice on Gu Liyan's body, which then seeped into Gu Liyan's body—
“But judging from his condition, it will probably be a while before he wakes up,” Gu Yan said. “You should go back and rest first. I’ll keep watch.”
Gu Li nodded. "Okay, I'll leave it to you."
After Gu Li left, Gu Yan went to Gu Liyan's side, took his hand and began to massage it, gently murmuring to himself, "Qianjue Mountain is still waiting for you to inherit it, wake up soon, Xiao Li..."
—It was already late at night when Gu Changyuan returned to Qianjue Mountain. He tiptoed into the courtyard, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Yan and Gu Li's rooms were not lit.
Just as I was about to go back to my room, a shout came from behind me: "Where have you been?"
Gu Changyuan's heart tightened. He turned around and saw Gu Li walking towards him with a gloomy expression. He hurriedly bowed respectfully to Gu Li and said, "Uncle-Master."
With a weary expression, Gu Li looked at Gu Changyuan's filthy body and sneered, "Well, Gu Changyuan, you're getting bolder and bolder! Not only do you not listen to your master and work hard to cultivate, but you also secretly ran down the mountain. If your master finds out, he'll definitely skin you alive!"
Gu Changyuan looked extremely anxious and said, "Uncle-Master, please keep your voice down, don't let my master hear!"
Gu Li glared at Gu Changyuan with annoyance, "Your junior brother has just recovered, so don't go looking for trouble again."
"Uncle-Master, I'm not going down the mountain to play," Gu Changyuan said with a bitter face.
