Although Chu Lingxiao was a little dissatisfied because he was locked outside, the joy in his heart diluted all the negative emotions when he thought that he would be able to see Qingze soon.
Chu Lingxiao randomly found an inn, made some preparations, and went straight to the brothel. He was familiar with the place and soon met Gu Qingze.
Gu Qingze led Chu Lingxiao into his room, then set up several soundproofing covers and other shielding talismans, and then gave Chu Lingxiao a hug with peace of mind.
"Ling Xiao, long time no see, I really missed you so much."
Gu Qingze hugged Chu Lingxiao tightly, his voice full of longing.
Chu Lingxiao looked at Gu Qingze rubbing against his arms and said in a reserved manner.
"It hasn't been long, only three days."
Gu Qingze raised his head and pretended to be aggrieved.
"Three days is a long time. Could it be that Ling Xiao is tired of me?"
"Why did Qingze make such an expression and use such words, describing me as a bad man who abandoned his wife?"
Chu Lingxiao complained dissatisfiedly.
Then, he changed the subject and spoke in an unspeakably gentle tone.
"Besides, how could I bear to abandon you?"
As he spoke, he sighed helplessly and gently stroked Gu Qingze's hair.
Gu Qingze rested his head half-resting on his legs and smiled, his eyes sparkling like bright stars.
"Of course I know Ling Xiao is the best. I was just acting like a spoiled child just now. Can't you tell it's like a spoiled child? Ling Xiao really can't understand the meaning of my words because we haven't been apart for too long."
"How is that possible? I was just teasing you."
Chu Lingxiao played with Gu Qingze's long hair, enjoying this moment of peace.
Gu Qingze seemed to have a telepathic connection and also stopped talking, just looking at each other quietly.
It was unknown how long it took before Chu Lingxiao broke the harmonious atmosphere and his expression became serious.
"Qingze, actually I came here this time with a mission. I have something important to tell you."
Chu Lingxiao said seriously.
Gu Qingze looked at him, a hint of curiosity rising in his heart.
"What is it?"
Chu Lingxiao took a deep breath and spoke slowly.
"Do you remember what you asked Brother Jinnian to do last time? It was to get some information from the retired chief courtesan, the one who was speechless and insane."
When Gu Qingze heard this, his eyes became a little complicated. In fact, he subconsciously didn't want Ling Xiao to know too much. After all, Ling Xiao worrying about him was something he didn't want to see.
Moreover... he knew that the endings of all the former chief courtesans were not very good. If he put himself in his shoes and saw these things, he would feel vaguely uncomfortable. Ling Xiao would probably be the same as him... after all, Ling Xiao was such a kind person.
"Did Brother Jinnian tell you this?"
Gu Qingze looked at him and asked in a tone that basically confirmed it.
"More or less. I was the one who asked."
Chu Lingxiao thought for a moment, nodded, and said.
Gu Qingze slowly sat up and rubbed Chu Lingxiao's face with his hands in dissatisfaction.
Forget it, since Ling Xiao already knows, then let him know. He didn't intend to hide it from Ling Xiao deliberately.
"So, Ling Xiao came to me and told me because he got some relevant information, right?"
