"Ling Xiao Ling Xiao, I brought you the blank talisman paper you asked for!"
Gu Qingze called out several times in succession, but Chu Lingxiao still seemed distracted. It was not until he knocked on the table that his eyes gradually regained clarity.
Chu Lingxiao had been constantly receiving content that was beyond his comprehension.
He hadn't analyzed it carefully at all.
I just took it for granted that when I saw Luo Zimo inviting Gu Qingze to practice dual cultivation, I thought that Gu Qingze also liked men.
After calming down and carefully reviewing the details these days, I found that the conclusions I reached before lacked evidence and contained many unreasonable aspects.
Maybe Gu Qingze doesn't like men at all.
Luo Zimo only liked him one-sidedly, but he quickly rejected and avoided her with a panicked expression.
And before Liu Rouyan even got close to him, he was staring at her.
He obviously likes girls.
Chu Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not impulsively tell him last time, otherwise Gu Qingze might avoid him like he avoided Luo Zimo, and then they would not even be able to be friends.
"Sorry, I was just thinking about something. Thank you, you are really a good friend of mine."
Gu Qingze felt puzzled. Although Chu Lingxiao and he had resumed their original way of getting along since that time, it seemed that every sentence he said contained the word "friend".
It’s not that it’s bad, it just feels awkward. He thinks true friends don’t need to emphasize that they are just friends.
Maybe everyone has their own ideas. Chu Lingxiao may think that adding "good friend" to every sentence will make him seem closer to him?
Gu Qingze guessed this, so he didn't correct Chu Lingxiao's words.
"You're welcome. These blank talisman papers have been piled up in the warehouse. If you don't use them, they will just become dust. It's you who made them realize their own value. Maybe they should thank you."
The reason why Gu Qingze said this was to reduce the burden on Chu Lingxiao. Chu Lingxiao had a too strong personality. If he told him that he bought these blank talisman papers specially, he would definitely write him an IOU and feel like he was in debt.
Are you kidding? The Gu family is in charge of the spiritual weapon market. The clan members are either Taoist practitioners or weapon practitioners. How could there be blank talisman paper?
I hope Chu Lingxiao won't use his intelligence to this extent, but he probably can't. After all, he is not familiar with the personnel composition of the Gu family. No matter how smart he is, he won't be able to deduce the answer without enough clues.
It's too obvious.
Gu Qingze, could you please restrain your little actions a little, or at least let me pretend I don't know.
Chu Lingxiao thought with a wry smile.
He didn't notice it before because he didn't observe carefully, but since he thought it through, in order to avoid his heart beating faster and developing unnecessary emotions towards Gu Qingze, which would cause trouble, he began to gradually observe his small movements when he spoke.
It doesn't matter if you don't observe, but once you do, you will actually gain something. He keenly discovered that whenever Gu Qingze lied, his left hand would easily clench into a fist.
Gu Qingze really thought he was a fool, but he was also stupid, and actually believed it before.
As the big boss of the spiritual weapon industry, how could the Gu family possibly have a talisman cultivator?
It is more cost-effective to directly spend money to buy ready-made talisman paper than to train a talisman practitioner.
Gu Qingze, thank you for treating me as a friend. Don't worry, I will do what a friend should do and will never overstep the line.
…………
Two years later——
Gu Qingze's cultivation level has advanced from the early stage of foundation building to the middle stage of foundation building.
As expected, just as he expected, when he reached the foundation-building stage, the improvement of his cultivation was not so rapid, but he accepted it well and was very calm about the result.
There is another fortunate thing, Chu Lingxiao's plug-in is about to arrive, and they are still good friends. He has successfully maintained the male protagonist's favorability towards him.
"Ling Xiao, do you want to come to my house tonight?"
Gu Qingze put his arm on Chu Lingxiao's shoulder and leaned close to his ear to ask him.
Chu Lingxiao nodded in agreement.
He was used to it. When he listened carefully to Gu Qingze's words, they seemed full of hints, but also as if he was just talking to a friend. At this time, he always blamed himself for thinking too much.
He had been a very competent friend in the past two years and had found the right way to get along with him. He almost thought that his previous love for Gu Qingze was a dream, as if it had never existed at all.
This is good, at least when we are friends we don’t have to worry about gains and losses.
Although he has not been able to gather spiritual power into his dantian in the past three years, he would go to the training room every day to try to practice. In addition, he studied the theoretical knowledge about cultivation every day and gained a lot.
Chu Lingxiao thought that if he was unable to practice cultivation, it would be nice for him to take up a civil service position after graduating from the academy and become an enlightenment teacher to popularize the theoretical knowledge of cultivation.
