Before leaving, Gu Yao glanced at the place where the thick fog was gathering.

Don't let me down.

He also has his own things to do.

Gu Yao stepped onto the crimson robe and transformed into a streak of light, heading towards the exit of the secret realm.

The system that Gu Yao had captured and used as a laborer, which had been telling lame jokes for several hours, was finally released by him out of great mercy.

When they left, even the once lively and vibrant black mist became unusually listless.

Feeling the abundant spiritual energy within his body, Gu Yao sighed softly.

I really hope I can always have such a healthy body.

Less than three months is quite a rush.

But he wasn't afraid.

With his current cultivation level, three months is more than enough!

He believed that his senior brothers and sisters would also do their best to help him!

Gu Yao exhaled a breath of stale air and headed at full speed towards the Tianqian Sect.

----

The cultivation world has been quite lively lately.

First, the ancient secret realm opened, then the Tianqian Sect closed its doors, and now the Demon Lord has disappeared in the Demon Realm.

If you were to ask which sect gained the most benefits from the ancient secret realm, everyone would think of the Tianqian Sect.

After all, before entering the secret realm, other sects had been injured to varying degrees by Shen Zhezhu's flying sword, but only the Tianqian Sect was completely unharmed.

Even within the secret realm, they are the sect that has preserved the most strength.

However, many disciples from other sects also obtained opportunities, and many of their prodigies chose to go into seclusion after returning to their sects from the secret realm.

The day after the group returned to the sect, Tianqian Sect announced its closure!

The protective formation completely enveloped the entire Tianqian Sect mountain.

The outside world is speculating about what the Tianqian Sect is planning to do.

Did they obtain some great treasure?

Or perhaps one of the sect's key figures was injured in the secret realm?

Opinions were divided, and rumors spread like wildfire.

Regardless of outside speculation, the atmosphere on Qingzhu Peak of the Tianqian Sect is exceptionally joyful.

Gu Ce dug out his treasured wine from under the plum tree on Green Bamboo Peak, patted off the dust, raised an eyebrow, and waved it in his hand. "This is wine personally brewed by Valley Master Yan. I begged him for a long time before he gave it to me. Today, you're lucky to have it."

Gu Chou didn't give him any face and directly exposed him, "Heh, you begged them for so long, and you still have the nerve to say that? When they refused, you used a diversionary tactic, using your clone to drink all the wine in their cellar, and even went on a drunken rampage, uprooting most of the medicinal herbs that Valley Master Yan had planted in the courtyard, causing the sect to lose a lot of money. In the end, you still refused to hand over the last two jars of wine. So you hid them with Xiao Yao."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yao's expression stiffened. He touched the tip of his nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed, and lowered his head, wishing he could bury it in his chest.

He remembered this incident; he had kept it a secret for his fourth senior brother because he felt sorry for him.

Gu Ce snorted lightly, "Just tell me, are you going to drink or not!"

Gu Chou smiled and closed the folding fan in his hand. "Drink, of course I'll drink!"

Ever since that time when Gu Ce, that little rascal, messed with her, Yan Ruo has never brewed wine again.

These two jars are truly "hidden gems".

Watching the two bicker, Gu Mei and Gu Huai exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and smiled helplessly.

Gu Ce ripped open the wine seal, and a refreshing aroma of wine instantly wafted out.

A look of infatuation crossed his face as he took a deep breath; the aroma of the wine seemed intoxicating.

With a flick of his wrist, five jade wine cups appeared on the table. "This medicinal wine from Qianjin Valley should be served in jade cups to preserve its flavor."

As he spoke, Gu Ce filled everyone's cups.

The five hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they all let the alcohol take over their minds, wanting to get drunk.

Thus, on Green Bamboo Peak, five people who could be considered among the top tier in the current cultivation world were drunk and staggering around in the courtyard.

No one chose to use their spiritual power to force out the alcohol.

Clinging to Gu Yao, Gu Ce cried out hoarsely, "Xiao Yao, I miss you so much! Why did you just leave like that without even contacting us?"

Speaking of this, Gu Ce felt a little aggrieved. He jumped off Gu Yao, grabbed Gu Yao's sleeve, his eyes were a little wet, but he said fiercely, "You're not allowed to leave again!"

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she instantly lost her momentum, lowered her head, and said, "If you leave again, we will really, really be very sad. Can you bear to see us sad?"

Gu Ce's voice was deep and sticky, with his unique intonation, but at this moment he was tugging at Gu Yao's sleeve very carefully, just like a little golden retriever begging its owner to come home.

Upon hearing this, the small courtyard immediately fell silent.

The other three also turned their gazes to Gu Yao, as if seeking an answer.

Gu Yao's head was spinning. Looking at the pitiful Gu Ce in front of him, and under the gazes of the others, he felt immense pressure.

But he never makes promises lightly.

For him, making a promise was an extremely serious matter.

He always keeps his promises.

Faced with Gu Ce's question, he could only remain silent.

Because he knew where his path lay.

After being disturbed like that, all four of them were sober up long ago.

Gu Ce lowered his head and released his grip on Gu Yao's sleeve.

The four of them stood in front of Gu Yao, unsure of what to say. Gu Chou patted Gu Yao on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Yao, do whatever you want to do. Your senior brothers and sisters will support you!"

Gu Mei was the first to react. She smiled slightly and stepped forward to pinch the soft flesh on both sides of Gu Yao's cheeks. "Yes, Xiao Yao has grown up so much and looks so handsome now. But your senior brothers and sisters haven't aged yet!"

So don't shoulder so much burden by yourself.

Gu Huai clenched her fists and stepped forward. "Yes, you still have us."

As long as the Tianqian Sect is in charge, it will always be Gu Yao's home!

Gu Ce, who had just been dealt a blow, was now fully recovered. He patted Gu Yao's head and patted his chest, saying, "Anyone who wants to bully you will have to step over me first!"

Gu Yao looked around, and all four nodded at him, just like how they used to hide him when the five of them got into trouble together.

He took a step back, cupped his hands, and bowed solemnly, saying, "Then thank you all for your great help!"

A gentle breeze swept away the teardrops, carrying them to the ground silently.

When he looked up again, a smile was already on his face. "It's late today, everyone should go back and rest. I'll discuss it with my senior brothers and sisters tomorrow!"

But forcing a smile always feels incredibly strained.

How could it possibly be kept secret from so many people?

Watching Gu Yao's hurried figure enter the house, the four of them exchanged glances, all with a sense of foreboding.

I have a feeling that things are about to change.

Gu Chou clenched his fist and turned to look at Gu Huai, "Second Junior Sister, what exactly did you see when you did the divination that day?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Huai's face paled, as if he had thought of something terrible. He even staggered, but Gu Mei quickly caught him.

After a long silence, she finally spoke, her clear eyes gazing at the dark sky, "I saw... Heaven and earth collapsing, all things grieving, desolation everywhere, all life extinguished!"
