But fortunately, the plot has just begun and the villain has not been bullying the hero for long.
According to my experience of reading novels, the protagonist is usually the son of heaven, the author's biological son. It is better to make friends with him while the offense is not too serious. If you cannot make friends with him, try not to make enemies.
After thinking it through, Gu Qingze hurried to the grove based on his memory. Since he was not familiar with the road, it was already dark when he arrived.
"It's so cold..."
Chu Lingxiao curled up his body. It was winter, and the wind was strong at night. The deep pit was the outlet for the wind. He had lost all his cultivation and his physical fitness was no different from that of an ordinary person. He was unable to withstand the cold at all. A trace of unwillingness and determination flashed in his eyes.
"If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely make Gu Qingze pay the price and..."
"How are you?"
Chu Lingxiao raised his head and saw Gu Qingze wandering on the edge of the deep pit.
"Why are you here? Hasn't your plan succeeded?"
Chu Lingxiao looked at the face of the culprit and wished he could tear out his tendons and bones and make him endure a punishment that was ten thousand times more painful than this.
If it were in the past, Gu Qingze would definitely immediately show a look of disdain and then humiliate him again.
But this time, it didn't...
This question fell on deaf ears as time went by, so long that Chu Lingxiao thought he would never respond to what he said again.
"sorry……"
What? Is he apologizing to me? Chu Lingxiao couldn't believe it. Ever since he lost all his cultivation and became a waste, almost everyone around him had completely changed their attitude towards him. They all changed their faces and received only disgusting words...
"I'll find a way to get you up there..."
After a while, a rope was stretched out from the cave.
"Try to see if you can climb up." As if he was afraid that Chu Lingxiao would be worried, Gu Qingze added, "I've tried this rope, it's very strong. I'm definitely not kidding you!"
Chu Lingxiao now had no other choice but to give it a try. It was not until he really left the deep pit that he woke up from his dream.
Gu Qingze looked at him standing there, feeling a little reluctant.
When reading the novel, the author glossed over the cold stares and bullying that the male protagonist had suffered in the past three years, and he didn't feel it in reality.
But when he saw the male protagonist standing in front of him, shivering with cold, his arms wrapped around his body in a defensive posture, looking at him with a vigilant expression, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Am I pitying him?
Gu Qingze found it somewhat funny that he had this idea. His situation was obviously so difficult that if he didn't handle it well, the male protagonist would most likely bear a grudge against him and then take revenge on him. Yet, he still had to care about this son of heaven who was destined to succeed under the author's arrangement.
What I have to do now is to be nicer to him and not let the male protagonist hate me. I have to save my life first before I can talk about other things.
He didn't think he had the talent to surpass the male protagonist who had a golden finger in cultivation. Maybe when the male protagonist became a great immortal, he would still be struggling in a certain realm of cultivation. By then, if the male protagonist wanted to take revenge on him, wouldn't it be as easy as crushing an ant?
After Gu Qingze thought it through, he immediately showed a gentle expression and casually put the coat he was wearing on Chu Lingxiao.
"I really meant what I just said."
"What?"
Chu Lingxiao didn't react for a moment.
"I truly realize my mistake and I won't do it again. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I will slowly make it up to you in the future. Please accept that..."
"unnecessary!"
Chu Lingxiao responded quickly like a frightened little animal, then took an attacking stance.
Was this another trick of his? To make me let my guard down so he could take advantage of me?
Chu Lingxiao looked at Gu Qingze with a scrutinizing look, which made Gu Qingze feel helpless.
Did a direct apology actually backfire? Will the hero think I have ulterior motives?! This won't do. I need to find a way to make amends.
It’s better to divert the male protagonist’s attention!
"Do you need me to take you home?"
Gu Qingze looked at him and smiled faintly.
Chu Lingxiao looked at him warily, feeling that his aura seemed like a different person.
Is it possession?
This thought suddenly came to him, and he quickly scanned Gu Qingze's body with his eyes, but did not notice anything unusual.
He showed a complicated expression, but he concealed it well the next second.
"There's no need for that!"
"Besides, it was because of you that I was pushed into this pit. My subsequent actions can only be considered as making amends!"
Although he said so, Chu Lingxiao did not take off the coat that did not belong to him. He glanced at Gu Qingze and left quickly.
The coat still held Gu Qingze's warmth, and Chu Lingxiao was reluctant to take it off. After all, it was the only "kindness" he had received from anyone besides his father since he had lost all his cultivation...
Although I don't know if this kindness is motivated by ulterior motives, or just malicious intent disguised as kindness...
But I still can't ignore it. This unique kindness in a crowd of malice is particularly glaring.
"Do I have any masochistic tendencies?" Chu Lingxiao looked incredulous after realizing his own thoughts.
