The First Elder refrained from divulging details and merely cautioned the Dao Child of the Demon Clan not to disturb her.
In matters concerning his sister, the Dao Child of Demon Clan remained remarkably obedient. As anticipated, unnecessary disturbances ceased, allowing Gu Chaoyan to find more comfort.
Amidst the trials, Gu Chaoyan, though enduring considerable pain, felt a deep sense of satisfaction with her progress.
A day and night elapsed.
Gu Chaoyan finally emerged from the state of intermediate exhaustion.
Her entire body throbbed as if subjected to a relentless beating.
"Clan Leader," came the concerned voice of the First Elder.
"Sister," someone immediately embraced her. "Sister, are you alright? If anything happens to you, I won't let this old man off."
"You…" The First Elder deemed the Dao Child of Demon Clan's reaction excessive.
"I am fine," Gu Chaoyan reassured quickly.
