If his own father were to catch him and drag him back, he knew he wouldn't be killed, but Gu Lianhua would pay a terrible price.
Therefore, after Gu Lianhua's injuries had mostly healed, and before the main force from Wentian Mansion could arrive, they first found a way to deal with the people tailing them.
Of course, "dealing with them" didn't mean killing them.
Instead, they injured their pursuers, leaving them powerless to continue the chase.
By then, the secret pursuers had been replaced by experts from Wentian Mansion. The Mansion's Ten Thousand Catty Strategy was formidable, and after the exchange, Dongfang Wujiu and Gu Lianhua were once again seriously injured.
Fortunately, they still managed to subdue their trackers, and the two finally escaped from right under Wentian Mansion's nose.
After everything they had been through, they both felt they were inseparable.
Nor did they want to be.
