"No need, it's totally unnecessary..."
After hearing Lu Xingchen's words, Gu Qingze became even more confused.
"Why do you say that?"
"Actually, Junior Sister Yaqin and I have only known each other for less than a week, and that stinky fox used some special means... Junior Sister Yaqin definitely doesn't want to continue in order to avoid trouble..."
Ah this? ! !
Why did Gu Qingze understand every word, but couldn't understand it when it was put together as a sentence?
Is that what he meant?
"Brother, you... and Junior Sister Yaqin... have only been together for a week... so soon?"
Gu Qingze spoke incoherently.
"It's because that stinky fox said I couldn't find a Taoist partner, so of course I had to prove it to him."
"But you haven't gotten to know each other, and you're just being angry... Senior Brother Lu, do you really like Junior Sister Yaqin?"
As Gu Qingze was talking, he realized a problem: Does Lu Xingchen really like Junior Sister Yaqin?
Is it because of anger and because I like her, or is it simply because of anger?
If he let down a girl who loved him just out of anger, then Gu Qingze felt that Senior Brother Helan was right to destroy it.
"I... don't like it."
Lu Xingchen said after hesitating for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw Gu Qingze looking at him as if he was a "scumbag".
"Junior brother, listen to my explanation. Things are not what you think."
"Tell me about it."
Gu Qingze asked curiously, is there a turning point?
"I wonder if Junior Brother knows about the contracted Taoist partner?"
What is this?
Could it be possible that Taoist partners could also make contracts like beastmasters?
When Gu Qingze looked at Lu Xingchen again, in addition to "scumbag", he also looked at him as "pervert".
Lu Xingchen was now certain that his junior brother really didn't know the meaning of this word.
"A contracted Daoist couple is a partnership-like relationship between two people. It's just a title, not a marriage."
"Brother, do you mean Junior Sister Yaqin doesn't like you either?"
Gu Qingze stated his conclusion uncertainly.
Lu Xingchen nodded.
"So Senior Brother Lu is simply angry about what Senior Brother Helan said and wants to become a Taoist couple with Junior Sister Yaqin?"
Although it sounds outrageous, at least it doesn't disappoint others.
"That's not the case. I was just saying that out of anger. This is a decision I made after careful consideration."
Lu Xingchen said seriously.
"Because of the influence of that stinky fox, most of the disciples of Qingyun Sect think I'm gay. The best way to clarify this isn't to explain it, but to dispel the rumors with facts. And I also want to help Junior Sister Yaqin..."
"What do you mean?"
"Junior Sister Yaqin's parents are both mortals. Their greatest wish is to see their daughter get married and have someone to rely on. Recently, her parents are dying, and Junior Sister Yaqin can only do this to fulfill their last wish. In two years, she and I will end our Taoist partnership."
"Since Junior Sister Yaqin was only here to fulfill her parents' final wish, she shouldn't care about those rumors. Why would she be scared away by Senior Brother Helan's words?"
Gu Qingze grasped the key point and looked at Lu Xingchen in confusion.
"Because that fox harassed her every day, interrupted her cultivation, and said some perverted words. Junior Sister Yaqin is timid to begin with, and now she has to deal with such a thing..."
