After Gu Yan finished speaking, Gu Liyan hurriedly said, "Father, don't worry, I will listen to my senior brother."
Gu Changyuan glared at Gu Liyan but said nothing.
Gu Yan looked at Gu Changyuan and said, "Keep a close eye on your junior brother, don't let him go down the mountain and cause trouble!"
"Yes, Master." Gu Changyuan nodded.
Without saying anything more, Gu Yan turned and left. The two men breathed a sigh of relief after Gu Yan entered the room opposite and closed the door.
Gu Liyan scratched his head, muttering in confusion, "Why did Father say I caused trouble? How could I cause trouble? It's my senior brother's personality that makes him prone to getting into trouble..."
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Liyan caught a glimpse of Gu Changyuan glaring at her with a cold expression, and immediately shut her mouth.
Gu Changyuan glared at Gu Liyan and said irritably, "You said you wouldn't cause trouble, but your cleverness was discovered by Master, wasn't it?"
Gu Liyan blinked. "I never expected Father to have such good hearing!"
"You really are audacious! Master is right, we absolutely cannot let you go down the mountain. If we let you go down the mountain, who knows what kind of trouble you'll cause!" Gu Changyuan said irritably.
“I never caused trouble when I went down the mountain before, and I won’t now either. But it’s a pity, I’m afraid I won’t have the chance now,” Gu Liyan said with a bitter face.
"You still have the nerve to say that? Come here, take a look at yourself in the mirror!" Gu Changyuan pulled out a mirror from somewhere and handed it to Gu Liyan.
Gu Liyan looked at himself in the mirror. His handsome appearance was extraordinary, and his smile was even more stunning. He couldn't help but laugh and say to Gu Changyuan, "Senior brother, I didn't expect you to be so narcissistic that you actually carry a mirror with you!"
Gu Changyuan snatched the mirror away in annoyance. "Who said anything about that! Look at yourself now!"
"You look so handsome! There's nothing dirty on your face!" Gu Liyan blinked and said cutely, touching his face as he did so.
"You are handsome! But do you know how much trouble you would cause if you went down the mountain looking like this?" Gu Changyuan scolded.
"Trouble?" Gu Liyan looked bewildered. "Senior brother, you know me. I'm so cute, innocent, and kind. I would never cause trouble!"
"You, I..." Gu Changyuan was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Gu Liyan chuckled mischievously and said, "Senior brother, don't be angry. I was just joking with you! Of course I know what you and Father mean. You're both worried that a beautiful woman will bring me trouble, right? I understand!"
“Although we are not women, our handsome appearance will still attract attention and affect the original fortune of others,” Gu Liyan said.
Gu Changyuan glared at Gu Liyan. "You know that much!"
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, "Father and Senior Brother, your worries are unnecessary. I just need to wear a mask when I go down the mountain..."
Gu Liyan suddenly froze, a memory flashing through her mind of herself wearing a mask. She trembled, utterly shocked: That was me? How could I…
"Xiao Li?"
Gu Liyan was distracted and didn't hear Gu Changyuan calling her.
"Xiao Li, what's wrong?" Gu Changyuan asked anxiously when he saw Gu Liyan's pale face. "Has your injury flared up again? Say something!"
Gu Liyan snapped out of her daze and, seeing Gu Changyuan's anxious expression, hurriedly waved her hand, "No, Senior Brother, I'm fine..."
Startled, Gu Changyuan hurriedly stepped forward to help Gu Liyan sit down, saying, "Come on, sit down quickly."
Seeing the cold sweat on Gu Liyan's face, Gu Changyuan asked with concern, "Is your condition not getting better? I'll go tell Master right away..."
"Wait, Senior Brother!" Gu Liyan stopped Gu Changyuan, who was about to leave. "I'm really fine. I just remembered something and got distracted."
Gu Changyuan asked in confusion, "What is it?"
Gu Liyan shook his head. "It's nothing, just some things I've forgotten."
"Huh?" Gu Changyuan was stunned. Seeing Gu Liyan's worried expression, he asked with suspicion, "What exactly happened?"
Seeing Gu Changyuan staring at him, Gu Liyan sighed helplessly and explained, "Alas, senior brother, to be honest, I've forgotten all my memories before I was injured. I only remember things from my childhood... Not only that, but there are also many things I've never done before in my mind. My memories are a bit confused now..." Gu Liyan frowned.
"So... you don't remember who injured you?" Gu Changyuan looked at Gu Liyan with a surprised expression.
He thought to himself: No wonder my relationship with my master seems to be as good as ever.
Gu Liyan nodded. "Yes, Master won't tell me. Senior brother, do you know who seriously injured me?"
Gu Changyuan thought to himself: Since Master didn't mention it to Xiao Li, it means he doesn't want Xiao Li to know...
Seeing Gu Liyan's curious expression, Gu Changyuan shook his head. "I don't know either. But since you can't remember, it's not necessarily a bad thing. It'll prevent you from impulsively going to seek revenge."
Gu Liyan curled his lips. "My magical power is weak. How could I be so foolish as to try and break a rock with an egg?"
"You still know your magic power is low!" Gu Changyuan said, both amused and exasperated.
"That's it! Maybe I'll remember it once my magic power increases!" Gu Liyan suddenly thought of something and said excitedly, "Great! In that case, I'll cultivate diligently and recover my memories as soon as possible!"
Gu Changyuan thought to himself: If you really knew the truth, I wonder if you would still be able to do it!
Gu Liyan, unaware of Gu Changyuan's thoughts, had already gone off to focus on cultivation.
— In the blink of an eye, nearly a year has passed, and great changes have taken place both on and at the foot of Thousand Absolutes Mountain.
Qianjue Mountain
A chilling aura spread from the summit of Qianjue Mountain, enveloping most of the mountain and instantly covering the lush forest with a thin layer of ice.
