Gu Chaoyan spoke candidly in front of Di Hongyun, regretting his impulsive actions. He had acted recklessly, and had it not been for the intervention of the Head of the Undead Race, they would have been in grave danger. While it was true that Di Hongyun bore some responsibility, he remained oblivious to the gravity of his mistake, which was deeply unsettling.

Di Hongyun was a constant presence by Gu Chaoyan’s side. If he didn’t wish to continue this companions.h.i.+p in the future, he could always return to his former life. His loyalty was unwavering, and there would always be those who would stand up for him.

However…

If he intended to journey alongside her in the future, things could not stay the same. Beyond the inconvenience he caused her, what concerned Gu Chaoyan the most was the potential peril he might face. If Gu Chaoyan were to take responsibility for him, she needed to be absolutely clear with him.

“Do you still wish to remain at my side in the days to come, or would you prefer to stay with Senior Brother Lv Zhengyang and the others? If you find it disagreeable, you are welcome to remain by Senior Brother Lv Zhengyang’s side. If you are committed to staying with me, you must comprehend the circ.u.mstances we face. It may be harsh, but it’s the reality. At times, you must make a choice,” Gu Chaoyan told him firmly.

Di Hongyun differed from the Head of the Undead Race. The Head of the

Undead Race had acquired wisdom through numerous experiences, but Di Hongyun had been sheltered by his Senior Brothers and the Supreme Sect, leaving him somewhat naive about the true nature of their predicament.

In truth, Gu Chaoyan herself was often perplexed. There were moments when she questioned whether having Di Hongyun by her side was a mistake.

Today, she intended to give him the autonomy to make that choice for himself.

Upon hearing Gu Chaoyan’s words, Di Hongyun appeared shocked and then concerned. He responded, “Junior Sister, I wish to remain with you.”

When it came to following his Junior Sister, Di Hongyun’s emotions were a tangled web.

Initially, he had been eager to do so, motivated by a profound debt of grat.i.tude. His Junior Sister had once rescued him from members of the Grand Unity Door, and he believed that following her was his way of repaying that kindness. His intention was to be of a.s.sistance to her.

However, as time pa.s.sed, Di Hongyun came to realize that his Junior Sister didn’t actually require his help. She consistently looked after him and seemed entirely self-sufficient.

Yet, despite this, he still harbored a strong desire to remain at her side. The reasons behind this perplexed him.

Upon careful reflection, he surmised that it was because he felt a sense of authenticity when he was with his Junior Sister. Not only did he feel that she was genuine, but he also felt more true to himself.

For instance, in moments like this one, where he had made a mistake, Junior Sister would likely become angry, reprimand him, and perhaps even suggest that he shouldn’t accompany her. However, when she was with Senior Brother Zhengyang, such scenarios rarely occurred. She had never held him accountable for his errors.

Or perhaps, having Junior Sister around imbued many aspects of life with meaning.

In any case, he realized he needed time to process certain things, such as

Junior Sister’s occasional aloofness and her choices. Nevertheless, he remained resolute in his determination to work for her.

“I want to stay with you. Regarding what transpired today, I will reflect on my actions,” Di Hongyun declared firmly.

Gu Chaoyan nodded in response..
