Mo Chen clenched his fists, looking at Gu Liyan with a guilty expression. "I told him before that I would stay by his side to protect him, but when I found out he wasn't Bai Di, I wavered and couldn't trust this liar! If I had known the truth and chased after him to ask him in person... wouldn't he have been better off injured?"
Looking at Mo Chen's guilty expression, Gu Yan felt as if his emotions were also touched, and felt an indescribable pain in her heart.
Just then, Gu Liyan slowly opened his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Mo Chen excitedly grabbed Gu Liyan's hand, "My lord, you're awake!"
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Chen with some confusion, "Why did you call me..." Before she could finish speaking, Gu Liyan saw Gu Yan's long black hair and was so frightened that she trembled. Only then did she realize that she was still in the Ancient Wilderness World!
Seeing Gu Liyan trembling and looking at him with fear, Gu Yan walked over and covered him with a blanket, saying, "The two energies in your body are constantly alternating and eroding your body. Right now, Xuanbing should be in control. Be careful to keep warm."
Gu Liyan looked at the blanket that Gu Yan had covered him with, and could hardly believe his eyes.
Seeing Gu Liyan staring blankly at him, Gu Yan sighed, "How are you? Are you alright?"
Gu Liyan pursed his dry lips, but before he could speak, Gu Yan got up, ran to pour a cup of tea, and handed it to him, saying, "Here, have some tea first."
Gu Liyan was stunned for a moment, his hand trembling slightly as he took the tea. He carefully sipped it, and the familiar taste made him wonder if he was dreaming.
"Don't worry, Gu Li and I will find a way to stabilize the restless energy in your body." Gu Yan said calmly, "You can stay here with me to recuperate for the next few days, and you don't need to worry about anything else."
Gu Liyan nodded and said, "I... cough cough..."
Before Gu Liyan could say anything, he started coughing.
Gu Yan frowned and said, "If you're not feeling well, don't push yourself. Talk less and rest more."
Gu Liyan nodded and lay down wearily.
Mo Chen wanted to ask something, but Gu Yan's gaze stopped him.
Gu Yan looked at Gu Liyan and said, "You should rest first. I'll have Gu Li gather some herbs to heal your wounds."
After saying that, Gu Yan pulled Mo Chen out. Gu Liyan tried to call out to the two of them, but his throat was hoarse and sore, and he couldn't say a word...
Mo Chen was pulled outside by Gu Yan, who coldly said, "You've already seen how badly he's injured. It's best to put your question on hold for a while."
Mo Chen nodded. "I understand."
“In addition, you will continue to impersonate him,” Gu Yan said after thinking for a moment.
"Huh? But didn't you say that Lord Baidi has already guessed my identity? Why do you still want me to continue lying to him?" Mo Chen asked in confusion.
"You must keep Mo Bai occupied until he finds me," Gu Yan said solemnly. "Once Gu Li and I have healed him, we will naturally let you retire gracefully!"
Mo Chen didn't know what Gu Yan was planning, but due to his status, he could only nod in agreement, "Alright."
"I will pass down the order to take you as my disciple. You will stay by my side, and I will teach you some ways to protect yourself," Gu Yan said.
Mo Chen's face lit up with joy. "Thank you, strategist."
After that, Mo Chen studied military strategy and tactics in the ancient room every day under the identity of Gu Liyan. Mo Bai came twice a few days ago, but never came again.
Instead, he would secretly run away for a few days, only returning every few days. After returning, he would lock himself in his room and not come out for a long time.
Before long, more than a month had passed.
"Cough cough..."
Mo Chen, who was reading a military treatise, heard a cough coming from the bedroom. Seeing that Gu Yan was not in the room, he got up and went in.
For some reason, Gu Yan has been preventing Mo Chen from entering the bedroom these past few days, saying that it's a critical time and nothing can go wrong.
"Cough cough..."
As soon as he entered, Mo Chen felt a chill spread through his body. He immediately asked, "Mo Li, are you alright?"
When Gu Liyan heard Mo Chen's voice in the room, he was still unable to speak for some reason.
Mo Chen walked in, looked at Gu Liyan who was still pale, and sat on the edge of the bed, asking worriedly, "Mo Li, are you alright?"
Gu Liyan shook her head, then frowned as she looked at Mo Chen wearing her clothes and mask.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to impersonate you. It was Lord Gu Yan who asked me to impersonate you in front of Mo Bai..." Mo Chen understood Gu Liyan's meaning and explained.
Gu Liyan nodded, indicating that she did not blame him.
Mo Chen suddenly remembered something and asked, "Mo Li, I've secretly read some medical books before. How about I take a look at you?"
Gu Liyan nodded again.
Mo Chen began examining the body with a grave expression, but then froze, "How... how could this be..."
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Chen with a puzzled expression.
Mo Chen suddenly stood up and turned to examine the teacup and teapot that Gu Liyan usually used. "Something's not right..."
Gu Liyan found Mo Chen's behavior strange.
Mo Chen turned his head and his gaze fell on the medicine bowl on Gu Liyan's bedside table. He noticed that there were still some medicines left, so he went over to examine it and immediately exclaimed, "Heavens! How could they give you this kind of medicine!"
Gu Liyan was taken aback, then tugged at Mo Chen, who was looking at him anxiously.
"Mo Li, you've been poisoned by Lord Gu Yan! Luckily you only ate it for a month. If you had eaten it for another month, you'd probably be a cripple forever!" Mo Chen said anxiously.
Gu Liyan was shocked, staring at Mo Chen in disbelief, her heart filled with complex emotions. "My father is an upright man; he would never harm me. I know him; he wouldn't hurt anyone!"
