"Wu Ya, calm down!"
Gu Gu Gu shouted, lifting his head with boundless aura. Two streams of nosebleed slowly ran down his face. "That hurts."
Thud!
"You old bastard, your hide is thick and your face is thicker than a city wall. If a few blows like that could pound you to death, the heavens would truly be smiling on us."
Granny Wuya's cane became a blur, pounding Gu Gu Gu like a whack-a-mole game. The key was that this "mole" did not dare dodge and simply took the blows head-on.
"Gu Fan entered the Path of Return."
Gu Gu Gu sniffed back his nosebleed, his feet already sunk into the soil, before finally blurting it out.
Granny Wuya's cane abruptly stopped in midair. Her eyes slowly widened in disbelief.
After a long while, Granny Wuya's furious roar rang through the air. "Gu Gu Gu! You old bastard, do you have any conscience at all?!"
"The Path of Return was the route our ancestors took back home after fighting across dimensions!"
"But it is also a dimensional labyrinth!"
"None of the younger villagers who entered it to train—whether fifty or eighty years ago—have returned to this day!"
"You've ruined Gu Fan!"
Granny Wuya was trembling with rage.
Gu Gu Gu pulled a long face. "I didn't want this either, but Gu Fan slipped in herself while Gu Beijiang and I weren't paying attention."
Gu Gu Gu looked at Granny Wuya, his eyes flickering. "Wu Ya, don't panic. Maybe this is a tremendous opportunity for Gu Fan."
"Opportunity, my ass!"
"If you hadn't confined her and kept her from seeing Liu Di, why would Gu Fan have gone to such a place?!"
Thud!
Thud!
Thud!
No one saw that the white-clothed figure on the stage had already vanished.
