"...You have a fiancée, right?"
When Chu Lingxiao saw that Gu Qingze on the opposite side had not responded for a long time, he already knew the result.
"Well, I do, but I told my father that I wanted to cancel the engagement, but he told me to talk to my fiancée alone to resolve it..."
Gu Qingze had never wanted to hide this matter, and his previous thought was just to try his best not to make Ling Xiao too sad. However, when he saw Ling Xiao's wilted expression, he knew that his silence had made Ling Xiao a little sad, so when Ling Xiao asked, he quickly told him everything that had happened.
"Oh, childhood sweethearts, they decided to spend their lives together when they were only six years old."
Chu Lingxiao teased, his tone a bit sour.
He didn't have a good relationship with Gu Qingze before, and he knew nothing about what happened before he entered the academy at the age of ten. Moreover, after he entered the academy, he was tested to have a natural spiritual root. He was flattered by others during that time and became arrogant. Naturally, it was even more impossible for him to pay attention to the perennial second place.
Therefore, Chu Lingxiao only really paid attention to Gu Qingze when he was sixteen years old. At first, it was because he was bullied because he had lost all his spiritual power, and later it was because of his gentleness to him like "helping him in time of need".
After listening to Gu Qingze's story, Chu Lingxiao realized that he knew many things about the person in front of him.
Gu Qingze had been observing Chu Lingxiao's actions and reactions since he started telling the story. Seeing him being sarcastic to him, he became a little panicked. He knew that Chu Lingxiao was angry.
"Ling Xiao, Xiao Xiao, I'm sorry."
Gu Qingze took his hand and apologized to him, saying that although it was the original owner who made the engagement, he did not handle it properly afterwards, leaving hidden dangers, which was indeed his own fault.
Seeing that Chu Lingxiao still ignored him, Gu Qingze sighed and decided to risk his life. He paused for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and called out softly.
"Husband~"
Now, Chu Lingxiao, who had not been angry at first but was just pretending to be serious to listen to what tricks Gu Qingze had to coax him, could no longer hold back.
Seeing Chu Lingxiao's smile, Gu Qingze also started to smile.
"Not angry anymore?"
"I'm not angry at all, and do I look like such a petty person?"
Gu Qingze nodded in pretended agreement, but when he saw that Chu Lingxiao was about to get really angry, he quickly shook his head.
"That's more like it, but I can't become your Taoist partner for now. I have to wait until you resolve that matter."
"I want to form a Taoist partner with you in an upright manner, and be gentle when communicating with the girl about this matter. I believe Qingze can handle this matter properly."
Seeing Chu Lingxiao's serious expression and his trust in him, Gu Qingze couldn't help but go forward and hug him.
"Don't worry, I will do this as soon as possible."
Chu Lingxiao hugged him back.
"It's okay, don't worry. The Dao Companion thing is just a title. The Sword Competition is the real important thing now."
Hearing Ling Xiao being so considerate, Gu Qingze was even more moved.
"Ling Xiao, you are such a good person."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Chu Lingxiao broke free from Gu Qingze's arms and explained seriously.
"Usually this phrase is used to reject someone. If you know this, don't say it casually. Also... don't call me 'husband' anymore. It sounds weird."
"I'll do as you say."
Gu Qingze looked at Chu Lingxiao's shy look and said with a smile.
