After leaving Gu Yan's room, Gu Liyan looked enlightened, while Gu Yan sat in the room, looking at the sand table with a worried expression.
Gu Li, who was passing by Gu Yan's room, saw Gu Liyan walking out excitedly and wondered, "What's wrong with this kid? He's actually so happy during class today?"
Gu Liyan also saw Gu Li and respectfully greeted him, "Greetings, Uncle-Master."
"Ah? Ah, okay." Gu Li nodded subconsciously and greeted him.
Gu Liyan left excitedly, while Gu Li walked into the room with a blank look on his face. He asked Gu Yan, who was sitting there in a daze, "What's wrong with Mo Bai? Why does he look so excited?"
Gu Yan snapped out of her daze and glanced at Gu Li. "Ah, you're here. I just agreed to officially accept Mo Bai as my disciple!"
"Huh?" Gu Li looked at Gu Yan with surprise. "Didn't that person tell you that you can't have any ties with anyone in this world?"
Gu Yan pointed to the strategic points planned on the sand table and sighed, "He brought this on himself!"
Unexpectedly, a single bet resulted in losing his own spot as an apprentice...
After leaving Gu Yan, Gu Liyan went straight to inquire about the whereabouts of the group of warriors who had returned with her, and finally found the warrior wearing golden armor from before.
The golden-armored warrior, who was resting, saw Gu Liyan walking towards him and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, standing there helplessly.
Only when Gu Liyan arrived did he realize what was happening. He hurriedly and respectfully knelt on one knee and nervously said, "Greetings, Lord White Emperor!"
Gu Liyan glanced at him and then said, "No need for formalities, please get up."
"Yes!" The golden-armored warrior stood up, head bowed, not daring to look at Gu Liyan even once.
“The strategist Gu Yan has given me a mission, and I would like you to come with me,” Gu Liyan said, sizing up the golden-armored warrior.
The golden-armored warrior was stunned, looking at Gu Liyan with a look of fear. Could it be that he was using the mission as an excuse to interrogate him?
Rumor has it that the White Emperor not only possesses unparalleled beauty, but is also a warlike and ruthless king, cold and heartless, which is why he remains without a queen. Although the White Emperor has achieved numerous military exploits, he has a violent temper. Just thinking about his previous disrespectful behavior in front of others sent chills down the golden-armored warrior's spine! What if he were in a bad mood and stabbed him...?
Cold sweat dripped down the golden-armored warrior's back.
Seeing the golden-armored warrior's troubled and unwilling expression, Gu Liyan pursed her lips and said, "Actually, I can go by myself. You don't have to force yourself."
The golden-armored warrior looked up in surprise and saw a helpless expression flash in Gu Liyan's eyes.
Gu Liyan smiled and said nothing more, then turned and left.
Watching Gu Liyan leave alone, I couldn't help but think of how this great and proud White Emperor always went on missions alone. He must really hate being rejected.
Thinking of this, the golden-armored warrior involuntarily followed...
Gu Liyan, who was walking in front, heard the footsteps of the golden-armored warriors following behind and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
As the two passed the jade wall with inscriptions at the entrance, Gu Liyan stopped and looked up, staring intently at the words on the wall once again.
Seeing Gu Liyan's serious expression, the golden-armored warrior behind him didn't interrupt. However, as Gu Liyan remained motionless for a long time, the golden-armored warrior grew uneasy, fearing that Gu Liyan would remember his previous rude behavior and kill him to silence him...
Just as the golden-armored warrior was feeling uneasy, Gu Liyan blinked at the words on the jade wall and asked without turning her head, "Golden Armor, do you know where the wilderness mentioned here is?"
The golden-armored warrior was startled, but seeing that Gu Liyan's attitude was gentle and he showed no anger, he immediately said, "I know, I know! It was in the wasteland a thousand miles away from where you, Lord White Emperor, met."
Gu Liyan stroked his chin, raised his head, and continued staring at the jade disc. "Since you know, then take me to the wilderness."
"Ah?!" The golden-armored warrior was startled, his face covered in cold sweat as he hurriedly said, "Lord White Emperor, that wilderness has been occupied by the demons, and it's teeming with demons!"
"Don't worry, we're just looking around from the outside; we won't go inside," Gu Liyan said nonchalantly.
Hearing Gu Liyan say this, the golden-armored warrior had no way to refute it.
Gu Liyan went to explore the wilderness for two reasons: first, Gu Yan wanted him to investigate the changes in the Demon Realm's terrain again; second, Gu Liyan discovered that the words on the jade disc mentioned the wilderness many times, giving him a sense of mission that he had to go there...
Having just discussed academic issues with Gu Yan, I have a general understanding of the current world situation and feel an urge to stop the demons' cruel actions.
Seeing Gu Liyan's determined attitude, the golden-armored warrior swallowed hard and nodded with a look of resignation, "Alright! I'll take you there!"
After leaving the waterfall and escaping the sight of the patrolling eagles, the two headed towards the wilderness.
—The sandstorm raged fiercely, often blinding us and obscuring the path ahead. The sand beneath our feet was of varying depths, and we never knew when we might step into a hole.
Gu Liyan frowned and said, "How can there be people in a desert without life? Golden Armor, are you leading us the wrong way?"
The golden-armored warrior wiped the sweat from his face and said, "That's right, Lord White Emperor. Before the demons invaded, this was a deserted village. Now, because of water pollution, the villagers are all gone, and it has become like this."
Upon hearing this, Gu Liyan clenched her fists inwardly, recalling the information about this world she had obtained from Gu Yan:
This world is divided into three factions: the Demon Clan, the Celestial Clan, and the Monster Clan. The Demon Clan, in its quest to seize world resources, indiscriminately slaughtered the Celestial and Monster Clans. However, even under these circumstances, the Celestial Clan harbored resentment towards the Monster Clan and refused to cooperate. Ultimately, the Celestial Clan suffered a crushing defeat and faced annihilation, fleeing to the Heavenly Palace beyond the outer heavens.
