After receiving Gu Yan's confirmation, Gu Changyuan shook his head in disappointment. "So, even if Xiao Li isn't your biological son, you still intend to groom him to be the next clan leader..."
Gu Changyuan smiled bitterly. "If that's the case, even if I study and cultivate diligently, I will always just be a pawn in your hands."
Just as Gu Yan was about to speak, a figure suddenly rushed towards her from the crowd.
He flashed to Gu Yan's side and struck him with a palm without hesitation, sending him flying.
Gu Changyuan was startled, never expecting his master to be so easily defeated, knocked to the ground! Regaining his composure, he was stunned when he saw the newcomer's appearance: "Ping'er?!"
Ping'er dusted off her hands, pointed at Gu Yan lying on the ground, and said with a grin, "Get up quickly! Stop playing the victim. A fox who has cultivated for nearly eight thousand years could never be seriously injured by me!"
Gu Yan stood up straight, unharmed, and looked at Ping'er, his eyes bulging with anger, and said, "You brat, you actually launched a sneak attack!"
Ping'er chuckled, "Hehe, who told you to just use a magic array to trap me like that!"

Ping'er noticed Gu Changyuan's confusion and rolled her eyes. "Your disciple isn't all that great! He can't even recognize a Dragon-Trapping Formation. But, I suppose you added a Judgment Rune to the Dragon-Trapping Formation to erase his memory?"
Gu Yan curled his lip and said, "If I hadn't done it this way, how could I have gotten this woman to tell the truth? And how could this woman have told the truth?"
Gu Changyuan then understood that the magic array wasn't meant to erase Feng Huaxian's memories, but rather to force her to reveal the truth!
"Old fox! Let's make a bet!" Ping'er said with a grin, revealing a row of small tiger teeth.
Gu Yan looked at Ping'er warily. "A bet?"
“That’s right! Let’s settle this with one punch! If I win, you tell me the incantation to activate the artifact!” Ping’er said impatiently.
"I knew you were after the divine artifact!" Gu Yan sneered. "What if I win?"
Ping'er squinted and thought for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she said with a grin...
"If you win, I'll tell you when darkness will fall!"
