But... can you not reject me this time?
Everyone looks down on you, yet you are the one who strives the hardest."
Gu An felt the rough and somewhat thick palm, momentarily feeling as if it weighed a thousand catties.
"I....." Gu An wanted to speak.
But he was pushed to the door by the other party, then the door was opened and he was sent out: "Hurry up and leave, or you'll be discovered."
The door closed gently at the end.
Gu An looked at the door, holding the Spirit Stone in his hand, silent.
He had come to apologize, to reconcile.
He wanted to tell the other party about Zuo Youyan's whims back then, tell them that in all these years, he actually missed her.
After his cultivation improved, he really wanted to come back to see her, but he was afraid of being targeted.
In the end, as the words reached his lips, Gu An simply could not bring himself to say them.
Especially those nine thousand Spirit Stones...
He was not Zuo Youyan.
Who was he to deserve this?
