"That brat! How come I never noticed how rude he was before! He actually spoke ill of me in front of me!" Gu Yan said angrily.
Gu Liyan chuckled, "Haha, he just can't accept your personality because it's so different from his usual self!"
Hearing Gu Liyan laugh, Gu Yan also smiled. "Yes, even Mo Bai had that expression. The others must have been terrified..."
Gu Liyan pursed his lips and said, "Actually, strategist, you don't need to do this. You are one of the military commanders, and you don't need to lower yourself for my sake. Besides, I really don't blame you at all!"
Gu Yan carried Gu Liyan forward, each step firm and unwavering. "Then I will temporarily set aside this identity for you!"
Gu Liyan was startled and hurriedly said, "No!"
"What? You look down on me?" Gu Yan said coldly.
"No, no..." Gu Liyan stammered, "Firstly, you have a responsibility to lead the demon race, and secondly, I like women, not men..."
"Pfft, hahaha!" Gu Yan stopped and burst into laughter.
Gu Yan laughed until her stomach hurt, never expecting that Gu Liyan actually thought she had feelings for him!
"Did I... say something wrong?" Gu Liyan asked blankly.
“Little fox, little fox, you always seemed so clever, but I never expected you to be like this…” Gu Yan shook his head and stopped talking, unable to stop laughing.
Gu Liyan lay on Gu Yan's back, surprisingly not responding.
Gu Yan stopped laughing and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Why...why aren't you saying anything?"
Gu Liyan gently shook his head. "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired..."
"Then let's take a nap and rest," Gu Yan said, subconsciously slowing his pace.
Gu Liyan choked up and couldn't speak, tears streaming down her face, soaking Gu Yan's back.
Actually, what he just said was just to confirm whether Gu Yan knew the truth! The final answer couldn't be clearer...
The ancient people he knew were rigid and valued dignity and etiquette above all else. Even if they felt indebted to outsiders, he wouldn't laugh if they said such absurd things!
Gu Yan felt a warm, damp sensation on her back and thought Gu Liyan had vomited blood again, so she hurriedly asked, "Xiao Li, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
Gu Liyan finally couldn't hold back her tears and cried out, "Father, with you here, Xiao Li will be alright!"
Hearing Gu Liyan's words, Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, "You're wrong. It's because your father is here that you'll be safe!"
Gu Liyan burst into laughter through his tears, understanding the meaning of Gu Yan's words; it seemed he had already affirmed himself.
Gu Liyan obediently lay on Gu Yan's back and softly said, "Father, thank you for your affirmation!"
Gu Yan smiled and joked, "Don't be too happy yet, let's confirm your mother first!"
"My mother?" Gu Liyan looked up and asked curiously, "Father, do you have someone you like now? Who is she? Is she pretty?"
“Oh right, I shouldn’t have doubted your judgment, Father, because I am very good-looking, so Mother must be very good-looking too!” Gu Liyan asked a series of questions with great interest, and Gu Yan didn’t know which one to answer.
He said irritably, "You really are heartless! I don't even know if I'll survive this battle! I don't have time to think about women!"
Gu Liyan smiled and said, "Father, with me here, what are you worried about?"
"Yes, with you here, what am I worried about!" Gu Yan's heavy burden of suppressed emotions vanished.
Suddenly, Gu Yan felt as if his state of mind had been elevated. If he were to be held back by the difficulties at hand, he would probably achieve nothing!
Gu Yan suddenly realized that his previous decision to remain silent was a mistake. If he hadn't been so cautious, he probably would have already defeated the demons!
"Father? What's wrong?" Gu Liyan asked in confusion when Gu Yan stopped.
"I'm wondering, what would have happened if I hadn't led everyone to hide and instead fought the demons to the end?" Gu Yan frowned.
Gu Liyan spoke without hesitation, "Besides the devastation and mutual destruction, I don't think there's any other possibility."
Gu Yan sighed, "If this world weren't so resource-scarce, we wouldn't be fighting like this for so long!"
Gu Liyan also frowned. "If only I could use the Life and Death Pact to help harmonize the ecosystem of this world, then there would be no more disputes over resources."
Gu Yan was taken aback. "A life-and-death contract? Judging from the name, it's related to life and death. I must be some kind of heaven-defying magic, right?"
Gu Liyan nodded. "Yes, they say that mastering the Life and Death Contract is like mastering the cycle of life and death. However, my skill is still shallow, and I have never actually used it before."
"I see..." Gu Yan nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked with a puzzled look, "By the way, Xiao Li, I haven't asked you yet, how did you get here?"
"Me? I was sent here by Ping'er using the Reincarnation Compass." Gu Liyan smiled bitterly as he thought of that girl Ping'er.
"The Reincarnation Compass?!" Gu Yan exclaimed in surprise. "You also came here because of the Reincarnation Compass? How is that possible!"
Gu Liyan asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong?"
"I have an agreement with a mysterious man. If I help him complete a mission, I can join his organization, and then he will tell me how to ensure the eternal existence of Thousand Absolute Mountain!"
Gu Yan spoke with a solemn expression, "My mission was to come to this world and resolve the conflicts here. But the problem started the moment I arrived in this world!"
