Feng Huaxian wanted to say something, but Ping'er waved her hand to interrupt her, "Young Master Mo has nothing to do with me. I am now employed by Lord Yan, and I don't care whether he lives or dies!"
Hearing Ping'er state her position, Baili Huangyi's expression softened. He cleared his throat and said, "I am magnanimous and will forgive you this time. Let's go out first!" Baili Huangyi gave the order, and everyone headed out of the cave.
As they prepared to leave the cave, they saw a man dressed in purple standing outside, his back to them. He was tall and imposing, giving off a warm and approachable feeling...
But when everyone saw that he had fox ears and nine tails just like Gu Liyan, they all warily drew their swords...
When Feng Huaxian saw the man's back, she felt a shiver run through her body. Her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say something but didn't. Instead, she instinctively hid behind Baili Huangyi.
Upon seeing this person and realizing he wasn't Gu Liyan, Baili Huangyi swallowed hard and cautiously stepped forward, saying, "This fox spirit, may I ask who you are...?"
"Knowing full well that there are fox spirits in the mountains, you still dared to go up the mountain. You must have eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard!" Before Baili Huangyi could finish speaking, Gu Changyuan turned his head and looked at them coldly.
Upon hearing Gu Changyuan's words, Feng Huaxian instinctively took a few steps back. Gu Changyuan noticed her movement and looked in her direction, his eyes widening in surprise. He instinctively asked, "Hua'er?! What are you doing here?"
Feng Huaxian, her gaze darting away, said, "I'm sorry, you... you've mistaken me for someone else."
I once said I would wait for him, but I never imagined that after only a year, my waiting would have been abandoned...
I never expected they would meet at Thousand Desolation Mountain today. I don't know whether I should regret giving up or resent his heartlessness...
Looking at Feng Huaxian's cold attitude towards him, and then seeing her hiding behind Baili Huangyi, Gu Changyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Heh! So that's how it is... You've already found someone you can entrust your life to?"
Upon hearing Gu Changyuan's words, Feng Huaxian hurriedly shook her head and protested, "No, that's not how it is! Lord Yan and I were just..."
Gu Changyuan coldly interrupted her, "You don't need to explain to me!"
Feng Huaxian smiled bitterly at Gu Changyuan and said nothing more.
Gu Changyuan sighed bitterly and said, "No wonder Master said never to have any contact with the human race. The human race is a race that cannot accept waiting and loneliness... In just one year, you have already forgotten me?"
Upon hearing Gu Changyuan's words, Feng Huaxian trembled. "No, I really... haven't forgotten you."
Before Feng Huaxian could continue speaking, Gu Changyuan coldly said, "You don't need to explain so much to me. I already know that it's impossible for us to be together, just because you came to a place you shouldn't have come to today!"
Feng Huaxian staggered a few steps and looked at Gu Changyuan, who was as cold as ice. She knew that the Changyuan who used to smile at her was no more!
Ping'er, standing to the side, looked at Gu Changyuan and thought to herself: Strange? I feel like I've heard this guy's voice before...
Suddenly, he remembered the person who had been helping him steal the artifact, and a sense of surprise washed over him: Could it be him...?
At this moment, on the opposite bank of the gravity abyss, a white figure flashed and arrived beside Gu Changyuan. His white clothes were spotless, and his temperament was exactly the same as Gu Liyan's. This person was Gu Yan!
Gu Yan glanced coldly at everyone and spoke, finally fixing his gaze on Gu Changyuan: "Changyuan, you're too slow!"
Gu Changyuan lowered his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Master..."
Gu Yan remained silent with a cold face, her purple eyes reflecting Gu Changyuan's figure. However, when she activated her Soul Painting Eyes, she saw a faint pink aura emanating from Gu Changyuan.
He immediately snorted coldly, turned his gaze coldly to the crowd behind him, and finally fixed his gaze on Feng Huaxian, who was about the same age as Gu Changyuan, squinting as he looked her up and down.
A sharp glint flashed in Gu Yan's purple eyes as she pointed at Gu Changyuan and shouted, "Are you blind? How could you possibly be interested in such a treacherous and cunning woman?!"
Upon hearing Gu Yan speak of Feng Huaxian in this way, Gu Changyuan hurriedly said, "Master, you misunderstand. Hua'er may be blinded by wealth or power... Her character is absolutely excellent!"
Hearing Gu Changyuan vouch for her own character, Feng Huaxian felt a warmth in her heart, and her gaze towards Gu Changyuan softened considerably.
Gu Yan, enraged, retorted, "Your Soul-Painting Eyes are still not skilled enough to see through people's hearts! Do you still doubt your master's words?"
Gu Changyuan glanced at Feng Huaxian, pursed his lips, and said, "Hua'er isn't what you say, Master. I know her..."
She was so gentle, so understanding, so pure...
"Ha! Understand? Then do you understand how he committed the murder?" Gu Yan said coldly.
Feng Huaxian shuddered and looked at Gu Yan with fear in her eyes. She never expected that Gu Yan would see through her secret at a glance!
Gu Changyuan looked at Gu Yan with confusion, "Master, what are you saying? How could Hua'er, a weak woman, kill someone?"
Gu Yan sneered, "If you don't believe me, just ask him yourself!"
Gu Changyuan looked at Feng Huaxian with disbelief and asked, "Hua'er, tell my master that you have never killed anyone, right?"
Stealthily observing Gu Yan's eyes, Feng Huaxian knew he had seen right through her! However, seeing Gu Changyuan's expectant gaze, she simply couldn't muster the courage to admit that she had killed Qing'er...
