After learning what had happened from Gu Liyan, Gu Changyuan couldn't help but laugh, "That little girl is quite perceptive; she didn't come to visit while I was here."
Gu Liyan rolled her eyes and said in a condescending tone, "If my senior brother were here, he would definitely beat her to a pulp! How could I let her bully me!"
Gu Changyuan couldn't help but smile as he looked Gu Liyan up and down, saying, "You look not only frail but also like a little boy. Who else would I bully if not you?"
"Senior brother, why are you siding with that girl!" Gu Liyan said irritably, hands on his hips.
He frowned and waved his hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about her! Just thinking about that spoiled and willful brat makes me angry!"
Gu Liyan tolerated being called a liar, and even when she was injured, she didn't say anything. But what was most unbearable was that he slapped her without asking why, and even labeled her as a scoundrel, while making it seem like she was the one who was wronged!
That's absolutely outrageous!
Seeing Gu Liyan's speechless expression, Gu Changyuan covered his mouth and laughed, "Since that little girl came to our door, I guess it's either for revenge or to find out our identities. After all, there aren't many who can come down from Thousand Absolute Mountain!"
Gu Liyan nodded in agreement with Gu Changyuan's opinion.
“You haven’t leaked any information, but I think she won’t let this go. She’ll definitely come back to cause you trouble one day!” Gu Changyuan said after thinking for a moment.
"What should we do then?" Gu Liyan frowned, he didn't want to have anything to do with that brat anymore!
Gu Liyan's eyes lit up, and he said with great interest, "Why don't we take the initiative, find her, and clear out her memories of us? I think she should still be in this town."
Gu Changyuan gave Gu Liyan a strange look, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I think it's better to forget it. For safety's sake, I'll send you back tomorrow."
"Huh?" Gu Liyan exclaimed.
"Senior brother, I just came down the mountain and haven't even had a chance to do anything yet, and you're already sending me back? Can I stay for another day? Just one day!" Gu Liyan said with a pained expression.
"What do you think you can do with your leg injured like this? What can you possibly do?" Gu Changyuan glared at Gu Liyan and said irritably.
Gu Liyan pouted, looking unwilling.
Gu Changyuan spoke in a serious tone, “You are inexperienced and have no idea that humans and other demon races are watching our Thousand Absolute Mountain. Now that we have been noticed, if we do not leave but instead rashly attack, how are we any different from reckless people? Besides, you know the rules of Thousand Absolute Mountain: we must never have any entanglements with mortals!”
"But……"
But... if we're talking about entanglements, aren't yours even deeper?
Before Gu Liyan could finish speaking, Gu Changyuan interrupted him, "Alright, I've made up my mind. I'll send you up the mountain first thing tomorrow morning!"
Gu Liyan had a bitter face. Thousand Absolute Mountain was extremely boring. There wasn't even anyone to talk to. He didn't want to go back at all!
Aside from the town's festivals where he could go down the mountain to take a look from afar, he basically spent every day cultivating on the mountain. Only when he was sick or in a bad mood would Gu Yan, Gu Li, and Gu Changyuan take him down the mountain for a stroll.
Gu Liyan was really annoyed that she had to be taken back after just one trip down the mountain without having done anything.
"Hmph, it's all that brat's fault! If I see her again, I'll make sure she doesn't get away with it!" Gu Liyan said angrily, then looked at Gu Changyuan with a wronged expression. "Senior brother, why don't we stay another day?"
Seeing Gu Liyan's aggrieved expression, Gu Changyuan sighed and said earnestly, "Little Liyan, it's not that I'm forcing you to go back, but your leg injury makes it difficult for you to move around. If danger comes, you won't be able to protect yourself at all. If something happens to you, your senior brother won't be able to protect you either! If you really want to come down the mountain, it won't be too late when you transform into human form next year and roam freely in the mortal world!"
Gu Liyan pursed his lips and could only nod. "I understand, Senior Brother. I will obediently go back with you."
Gu Changyuan patted Gu Liyan's head. "That's a good boy. Now get some rest."
Nothing was said that night, and another day passed in the blink of an eye.
As dawn broke, Gu Changyuan led Gu Liyan away from the inn. As the saying goes, going up a mountain is easy, but coming down is hard. In less than an hour, Gu Changyuan had taken Gu Liyan to the top of the mountain.
Gu Liyan looked at Gu Changyuan thoughtfully, sensing that he seemed quite anxious. Before he could ask, Gu Changyuan lifted Gu Liyan off the horse and said:
"Xiao Li, I suddenly remembered that the things I bought are still at the shop and I haven't picked them up yet. We're already within the Qianjue Mountain area, so there's no danger. I'll be right back!"
Gu Liyan was speechless. Looking at Gu Changyuan's serious nonsense, he didn't hesitate to leave him there, turn around on his horse, and gallop down the mountain...
"You value romance over your junior brother!"
Gu Liyan sighed helplessly and could only limp up the mountain. Fortunately, his leg injury was no longer so painful, and he soon reached his lodging at the top of the mountain.
After walking for a while, they saw Gu Li carrying a sword and walking down the mountain. Gu Liyan hurriedly bowed and said, "Good morning, Uncle-Master."
Seeing Gu Liyan walking up the mountain from the foot of the mountain, Gu Li asked with some confusion, "Little Li, why did you come up from the foot of the mountain?"
Gu Liyan cautiously began, "It was my senior brother who saw my injured leg and took me down the mountain to relax..."
Gu Li frowned and complained, "I can't say anything about that brat Gu Changyuan taking you out, but how could he be so careless as to let you go up the mountain alone? It's outrageous, he doesn't act like a senior brother at all!"
