The sunlight shone on the open space of Cangjian Peak, reflecting two young figures.
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao came here to train and compete as usual.
However, today's scene is different - a handsome man suddenly appears.
The man, dressed in white, stood tall and slender. His steps were light, as if he had stepped out of a painting. The hem of his white robe swayed gently in the breeze, exuding a sense of elegance and agility. His movements were graceful and calm, each one flowing naturally, as if he had become one with the world.
The man walked towards them with a smile, a hint of mystery in his eyes. He coughed lightly, attracting the attention of Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao.
"My two young friends, I see that you look unfamiliar to me. I don't think I have seen you before at Cangjian Peak. Could it be that you are Qiu Shuang's new disciples?" Murong Jin's voice was clear and pleasant, and it sounded like he was just simply curious.
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao looked at each other, exchanged glances, and after hesitating for a moment, they decided to answer truthfully.
"That's right. We are Master's new disciples. May I know who you are, senior?" Chu Lingxiao asked tentatively.
Murong Jin smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone: "My name is Murong Jin. It's normal that you don't know me since you're new here."
Gu Qingze studied Murong Jin carefully, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He wondered, who was this Murong Jin? What was his purpose at Hidden Sword Peak?
Chu Lingxiao seemed to see through Gu Qingze's thoughts. He took a step forward and said loudly, "I wonder what brings you to Cangjian Peak?"
Murong Jin seemed to have just remembered something. He gently waved his folding fan and replied with a smile, "I came here to look for your master, but it seems she's not here. Do you know where she is now?"
Gu Qingze shook his head and told the truth: "We rarely see Master, and it's even harder to tell where he is."
Murong Jin did not show any sign of anxiety, but instead leaned leisurely against a large rock.
"Qiu Shuang is always like this, so unpredictable." He complained helplessly, but his tone revealed a kind of intimacy and pampering.
Gu Qingze was keenly aware of this, and his doubts grew even more intense. He asked uncertainly, "I wonder why Senior Murong is looking for Master?"
"Nothing else, I just missed her, so I came to see her." Murong Jin's answer was simple and direct.
This simple answer made Gu Qingze even more suspicious.
What is the relationship between Ye Qiu Shuang and Murong Jin?
Are they siblings or distant relatives? But how can we explain their different surnames?
Were they a Daoist couple? But Ye Qiu Shuang practiced the ruthless Dao, so how could there be a Daoist couple?
A series of questions swirled in Gu Qingze's mind. Just as he was thinking, Murong Jin took out a sealed box from his storage bag and gently handed it to Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao.
"Please give this box to her. Remember, you must let her open it herself, otherwise I will not be responsible if anything unexpected happens." His tone was gentle, but with an irresistible majesty.
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of caution in the other's eyes. They hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to take the box.
"Then I'll have to trouble you two young friends." Murong Jin watched them take the box and smiled with relief.
Then, he turned and left, leaving behind a dashing figure. Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao looked at the direction where he went away, and a strange feeling welled up in their hearts.
