This Mo Bai is completely made up on the spot!
"No..." Mo Chen was about to explain for Gu Liyan when Gu Liyan spoke up at the right moment, "That's how it is!"
Mo Chen's eyes widened as he saw Gu Liyan glance at Mo Bai, smile slightly, and not offer any rebuttal.
Mo Chen's lips twitched involuntarily; he really couldn't understand what was going on with these two!
Gu Yan frowned, noticing their gazes. He squinted at Mo Bai, then looked at Gu Liyan, noticing that he was still soaked from the rain and had ice on him. He then coldly said, "No matter what, let's find a place to stay first."
The group walked for an unknown amount of time before finally discovering a fairly large forest entrance in a deserted area.
"Let's rest here for a while," Gu Yan said.
After speaking, he turned around and looked back. He saw Mo Chen supporting the weak Gu Liyan as they slowly followed behind the group. Just as he was about to say something, Gu Li stepped forward and asked, "It's so dark. Who knows what might happen if we go into the forest? I'm afraid..."
Gu Yan's gaze remained fixed on the unhurried Gu Liyan and his companion. He wrinkled his nose and said calmly, "Don't worry, we'll stay here."
"But..." Gu Li wanted to say something, but Gu Yan lifted her foot and walked towards Gu Liyan and Mo Chen.
Seeing this, Mo Bai, who was not far away, hurriedly followed. Noticing that the two of them were acting strangely, Gu Li also followed...
Gu Liyan was covered in sweat and breathing heavily. His body was still soaked. At this moment, he was powerless and relied all his strength on Mo Chen.
Seeing that Gu Liyan was so weak, Mo Chen hurriedly said, "Mo Li, we rested up ahead, let's sit here and rest for a while too."
Gu Liyan nodded and was about to sit down when he heard Gu Yan shout, "What right do you have to sit down!"
Gu Liyan was so frightened that she froze on the spot, afraid to move. For a moment, everyone looked at Gu Yan and Gu Liyan.
Gu Yan approached Gu Liyan and said coldly, "Don't think that just because Mo Bai is defending you, you can gain my trust. You have to prove to everyone that you are trustworthy, right?"
Gu Liyan opened her mouth to explain, but saw Mo Bai walking over angrily, and hurriedly said, "Tell me, what do I have to do for you to believe me?"
Mo Bai approached Gu Liyan, glared at him to signal him not to speak, and then looked at Gu Yan and said irritably, "Xiao Li is weak and has difficulty moving around. You can talk to him after he recovers!"
"Hmph, are we going to wait until he recovers before running away again, and then reveal our whereabouts?" Gu Yan coldly snorted.
"Gu Yan, why don't you trust Xiao Li at all? He is..."
Mo Bai was about to retort when Gu Liyan hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Strategist Gu Yan is right. For someone who has run away, they must pay a price to regain trust! I'm fine, I can prove it to him!"
Mo Bai frowned and said, "But you already..."
Mo Bai was about to say, "You've already given enough," but Gu Liyan interrupted him again, "At least, you should let Strategist Gu Yan know my sincerity, right?"
Gu Liyan gave a bitter smile.
Seeing Gu Liyan's determined look, Mo Bai shook off Gu Liyan's hand and said irritably, "You bastard, I really shouldn't have bothered with you!"
Gu Liyan simply smiled and said nothing.
“I will personally verify his credibility!” Gu Yan squinted at Gu Liyan and said coldly, “Now you will come into the forest with me. If I meet with misfortune in there, it will prove that you are a traitor! If I come out safely, it will prove your innocence!”
Mo Bai immediately spoke up, "No! I believe in your skills, Gu Yan. Unless a thousand troops can trap you, have you considered that if Xiao Li is in danger, he doesn't even have the ability to protect himself right now!"
Gu Li glanced at Gu Liyan and agreed with Mo Bai's idea, saying, "Yes, Gu Yan, look at him now, he can't even stand steadily. If there is any real danger, he probably won't be able to protect himself!"
"Hmph, don't worry, I will naturally protect him before a conclusion is reached! If he's worried about his identity being exposed, he can simply not go in with me!" Gu Yan sneered.
He then looked coldly at Gu Liyan and said, "Little fox, if you want to prove your innocence, come in with me. If you're afraid, or want to admit you're a demon, get out of here right now! And don't ever show your face in front of me again, or I'll make you vanish into thin air!"
Gu Liyan trembled, feeling a chill run through her body. She pursed her lips, her voice trembling slightly, "I... I'm not afraid of death, I'm only afraid that you won't... won't trust me. I'll go with you, into the forest!"
"Look how trembled he is! And he says he's not afraid of death!"
"Yeah, what a coward!"
The little demons around Gu Liyan were buzzing with discussion after hearing what he said.
Gu Liyan was indeed trembling violently, because he felt that the world was nothing but coldness...
Gu Yan frowned, turned to the group of little demons, and snapped, "Shut up!"
The little demons were so frightened by the ancient words that they immediately shut their mouths.
Gu Yan frowned as he looked at Gu Liyan's pale face and said, "There's no time to lose, come with me into the mountains!"
After saying that, he turned and walked ahead without even glancing at Gu Liyan.
Gu Liyan gritted her teeth and was about to follow when Mo Chen stopped her, "Wait, Mo Li!"
Gu Liyan looked at Mo Chen with a puzzled expression. "Mo Chen?"
Mo Chen knew that Gu Liyan had been wronged by Gu Yan, and he also knew about Gu Liyan's current physical condition. He couldn't bear it and said, "Mo Li... listen to me, don't push yourself!"
