"Congratulations, Junior Brother Chu, for coming out of seclusion!"
Lu Xingchen smiled and looked at Chu Lingxiao beside Gu Qingze.
He was originally waiting for Gu Qingze to come for training as usual, but he didn't expect to see his junior brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"When did you come out of seclusion? I passed by the training room today and didn't seem to see Junior Brother Chu."
"...Yesterday, but I still wanted to continue consolidating my cultivation, so I didn't tell Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Helan in time."
Chu Lingxiao looked at Lu Xingchen embarrassedly. In fact, when he knew that Qingze wanted a kiss, he was busy preparing himself mentally and forgot to inform Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Helan.
"Oh, that's right. Since you've come out of seclusion, and there's still half a month until the Sword Contest, do you want me to notify that person and ask him to continue teaching you?"
When Lu Xingchen heard Chu Lingxiao's words, he thought of something and asked for his opinion.
"...No, I just came out of retreat, and I want to use the remaining time to rest and prepare. But I'd like to trouble Senior Brother Lu to help me tell Senior Brother Helan that I can come out smoothly."
Chu Lingxiao said seriously that although he had the assistance of the old man in his sea of consciousness, to be on the safe side, he still planned to take half a month to consolidate and rest.
He was too tired. In order to improve efficiency, he had exceeded his tasks. Now his body was under great pressure and he had to sleep for several days in a row to recover.
Today I forced myself to get up in order to tell Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Helan the good news of my breakthrough, and also to see Qingze's cultivation results.
"It's not a big deal. Actually, I don't need to pass on any message. Junior Brother Gu will be training with the fox this afternoon. Just let Junior Brother Gu pass on the message to him."
Lu Xingchen patted Gu Qingze on the shoulder. Looking at Chu Lingxiao's inquiring gaze, Gu Qingze felt inexplicably guilty.
I forgot to tell Ling Xiao yesterday that I am now training with Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Helan at the same time.
"Okay, I'll trouble you, Brother Gu."
Chu Lingxiao spoke to Gu Qingze and bowed politely to him, acting like an unfamiliar fellow apprentice.
Could it be that I forgot to tell Ling Xiao that he was angry?
Just when Gu Qingze was making random guesses, he suddenly heard Chu Lingxiao secretly transmitting a message to him using his spiritual power.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. I'm not angry. It's Senior Brother Helan who's rushing over here a hundred meters away. Foxes have better ears than humans. If we act a little more friendly in front of Senior Brother Lu, he'll just recognize us as brothers. But Senior Brother Helan is a fox who's good at exploiting emotions, so I can't guarantee he'll notice anything. So, from now on, our interactions should be more disciplined."
Gu Qingze was shocked, not only because Ling Xiao's perception was stronger than his, but also because Ling Xiao had predicted everything he was thinking.
Gu Qingze conveyed the message curiously.
"But when we were being intimate in front of him before, Senior Brother Helan didn't notice anything."
"How do you know he hasn't noticed something? Qingze might not believe me, but as my cultivation improves, I seem to be able to sense more emotions and thoughts about intelligent beings."
When Gu Qingze heard Chu Lingxiao's words, he couldn't help but think of something. It seemed that Lingxiao's mother's clan had some blood related to some ancient mythical beast. Although it was very little in Lingxiao's lineage, it was still a very terrifying ability.
