"What are you going to do next, Young Master?" Yu Ning asked Yuan shortly later.
Yuan initially planned to return to Gu Ruyan, but he changed his mind when he sensed that one of Gu Ruyan's friends had returned.
"He definitely thinks I died to the Rod of Destruction, so I'll deal with Gu Ruyan later. Right now, I should save that woman before his friends catch up to her and kill her."
Yuan had activated Shadow Veil the moment he restored his body, so Gu Ruyan was unaware that he had survived the attack.
Thus, Yuan chased after the other two while Gu Ruyan reunited with his friend who had just returned.
"Gu Ruyan! What the fuck do you think you are doing, using the Rod of Destruction in this place?! Don't tell me you used it just to take care of that Golden Immortal!"
The friend immediately began lecturing Gu Ruyan the moment they reunited.
