In Xue Liao's view, having a Ruler-level expert resurrect him must have come at an enormous cost—one enough to bankrupt countless powerful experts.
Though he was overjoyed to be alive again, he would still feel deeply guilty if his friend had suffered such great losses because of it.
"I... didn't pay any price..."
Gu Yong wore a bitter smile.
He truly had not paid any price, but some things were difficult to explain. After hesitating for a moment, he finally told him.
Xue Liao was his best brother and had been involved in this matter as well. If he said nothing, he truly would not know how to explain it.
"So that's how it is..."
After hearing the explanation, Xue Liao finally understood. He laughed heartily. "You should go see her! After all these years, she is still devoted to you. Such a good woman is rare beneath the heavens. Once you miss her, no matter how great your achievements become in this life and the next, you will still brood over it, and it will become an eternal demon in your heart!"
"This..."
Gu Yong froze at those words, his face full of confusion.
He could hear from his friend's tone that this was a sincere blessing, not empty politeness.
"You needn't worry about me. I liked her too, but after walking through life and death, I completely understood and let go. I know that some love cannot be forced. Even if I truly ended up with her, she would suffer, I would suffer, and you would suffer even more! Rather than the three of us suffering together, it would be better for everyone to be happy. If the two of you can be together, you will be happy, and I will be very happy too!"
Xue Liao said.
