If it was an ordinary situation, he would choose to help with Gu Qingze, but just from the incomplete memory fragments of the monster, he could tell that it was a big conspiracy, so he didn't want Gu Qingze to get involved.

To be honest, when his mental power entered the monster's sea of ​​consciousness, he vaguely felt a black mental power that seemed to have a tracker, madly trying to attack his mental power.

Because of Lingyouyu and the old man in the sea of ​​consciousness, he was safe.

Although it was just a small episode, Chu Lingxiao still felt the danger, so he didn't want... or to be more precise, he didn't allow Gu Qingze to do those unnecessary things.

Although Gu Qingze didn't understand why Chu Lingxiao reminded him like this, he also realized that the matter might be more serious than he expected, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Ling Xiao, please rest assured. I have a clear understanding of my own capabilities and will not joke with my life." Gu Qingze's voice was full of determination.

Chu Lingxiao raised his eyes, looking serious, "Really? Then swear to the Heavenly Dao."

"Ah? It can't be that cruel..." Gu Qingze asked with some confusion and surprise when he saw that Chu Lingxiao didn't seem to be joking at all.

This is not something that ordinary people say casually. For cultivators, the oath made to the way of heaven has the effect of a contract. Once violated, they may not be able to improve their cultivation at all in this lifetime.

"Qingze, what is there to be afraid of? As long as you don't do it, no matter how great the punishment or price is, it will be the same as nothing."

Chu Lingxiao's serious words made Gu Qingze feel inexplicably familiar. Lingxiao's current appearance reminded him of the scene of him and Senior Brother Lin Yu competing in the sword-fighting competition.

Seeing that Gu Qingze's pupils shrank slightly after hearing what he said, and not only did he not say anything, but he also acted as if he was thinking, Chu Lingxiao began to reflect on himself.

Could it be that his tone just now was too fierce and frightened Qingze? This was not what he expected to see.

Chu Lingxiao was just too concerned and worried about Gu Qingze, so his tone was a little tougher. He didn't really want to see Gu Qingze scared and helpless.

Thinking of this, Chu Lingxiao forced himself to smile and slowed down his tone.

"Qingze, what I mean is..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Qingze.

"It doesn't matter. I know what Ling Xiao means. Ling Xiao is right. As long as I don't do it, the punishment and the price are unimportant. I swear to the heavens right now."

After Gu Qingze finished speaking, he was about to make a "swear" gesture when he was stopped by Chu Lingxiao.

After all, he was still soft-hearted and didn't want to do anything so drastic. What's more, if Gu Qingze couldn't resist his instinctive impulse and did it, then his actions would harm him.

"Forget it, I believe Qingze." Chu Lingxiao's voice was full of tenderness.

"Eh? Really? Ling Xiao is indeed the best." Gu Qingze, who didn't know Chu Lingxiao's inner thoughts,

Hearing Chu Lingxiao's words, her eyes lit up and she stared at him expectantly, looking like a puppy wanting to get the affirmation of its owner.

Chu Lingxiao's heart beat wildly at his cute look, and he softened his tone unconsciously.

"Of course, I trust Qingze, but just in case, let's make a pinky promise." As he said that, he stretched out his little finger and shook it.

"Okay, pinky promise." Gu Qingze was struck by his "childish" behavior, but still cooperated and stretched out his little finger to hook it with his.

"Pin promise" and "swearing to heaven" mentioned by Chu Lingxiao earlier are two completely different things.

The promise made in a "pink hook" is purely based on the "contractual spirit" of both parties and is maintained by their own morality. If it is not fulfilled, the most you will get is dissatisfaction from the other party, and there will be no other punishment.

"Swearing an oath to Heaven" depends on the protection of Heaven, and if it is not fulfilled, one will really be punished by Heaven.

Gu Qingze obviously noticed this subtle change, and a warm feeling unconsciously welled up in his heart. Ling Xiao is such a good person, and he is very soft-hearted.

"Now that we've made a promise, can Ling Xiao continue? After all, this is information Ling Xiao worked hard to obtain, and I really want to hear it."

".....Yeah." Chu Lingxiao lowered his eyes and responded reluctantly.

Then, he slowly leaned close to Gu Qingze's ear and whispered softly as if he was saying a "whisper".

Gu Qingze's ears turned red from the warm breath coming from his ears, but he did not dodge. Instead, he moved closer and listened carefully to Chu Lingxiao's words.

As time went by, he was so shocked by Chu Lingxiao's words that he didn't care about the warm breath beside his ear. His pupils constricted and he frowned slightly.

Even after Chu Lingxiao finished speaking and left his ear, he still had a stunned expression.

"That's why I repeatedly emphasized before telling Qingze that you should never do anything stupid after knowing this."

Chu Lingxiao was not surprised by his reaction at all. Instead, he sighed and felt helpless.

"This has formed a perfect closed loop. I don't believe that there are no noble forces from the demon world involved. It involves such a big thing, I don't want you to get involved."

Then, in an almost pleading tone, he added, "Just think of it as being for me, okay?"

Gu Qingze finally calmed down at this time, and looking at Chu Lingxiao's extreme lack of security, he hugged him.

"Ling Xiao, it must be hard for you to receive such painful memories. Thank you for your hard work."
