Off to the side, someone who had been silent all this time suddenly stood up, quietly moved closer to them, and asked casually, "Did your meeting with the Demon King go smoothly?"
When Chu Lingxiao heard this, his eyes, as bright as gilded gold, stared straight at him and responded:
"Although the process was rather tortuous, the final result was quite...satisfactory."
He knew Su Han's intention of speaking now, so he cooperated and said it out loud.
Su Han obviously wanted to speed up the process, add fuel to the fire, and urge them to go to Xuanyin as soon as possible to find the "Three Lives Flower".
This made him even more curious, no matter what the person behind the scenes wanted to do, or what exactly was in Xuanyin.
Su Han ignored his scrutinizing gaze and simply nodded slightly: "As long as everything goes well."
Taking advantage of the topic raised by Su Han, Song Jinnian moved closer to them and asked in a somewhat coquettish tone:
"Brothers, please tell me the specific details, such as where the twists and turns are, how to enter the Xuanyin place, etc."
He Lanzhi also moved closer to them: "If you don't want to talk, there's no need to force it. Song Jinnian is just curious."
There was a hint of helping them out in his words, and he even seemed a little overly considerate.
The sense of disharmony in Gu Qingze's heart grew even stronger...
He seemed to know what was wrong. Apart from He Lanzhi's words and actions, the most incongruous point was the way he addressed him.
Senior Brother Helan has been calling him "beauty" since they first met. Although he himself does not like it, Senior Brother Helan still does his own thing and has no intention of changing.
When did the name change?
Gu Qingze thought for a moment and soon found the answer in his mind - it was before the sword-fighting competition began.
What happened at that time?
Senior Brother Helan abstained and voluntarily gave up the qualification to participate in the sword-fighting competition, and also had a quarrel with Senior Brother Lu.
Of course, he finally explained to Senior Brother Lu that he gave up because of a sudden change in the clan, his father passed away, and he had to return to the demon world urgently.
It was not long ago that I saw Senior Brother Helan again.
As for the name "Beauty", Senior Brother Helan has never used it since before the sword-fighting competition until now. Instead, he changed it to a more easily accepted name - "Junior Brother".
And in other aspects, he no longer behaves so frivolously, and is even unexpectedly much calmer and more reliable than before.
Hiss... A bold guess suddenly popped up in Gu Qingze's mind.
Could it really be what he thought?
"That's right, it's just what Qingze thought."
At first, he thought he was hallucinating, but from the tone and manner of his voice, there was no way he could have misheard it. It was Ling Xiao transmitting his spiritual power to him.
Gu Qingze originally wanted to use his spiritual power to transmit his voice to ask Ling Xiao for more details, but Ling Xiao blinked at him and signaled with his eyes.
Although it was unbelievable, he quickly understood what Ling Xiao wanted to express - let's talk alone in private.
Gu Qingze also gave him a look, indicating that he already knew.
However... since it is really as he guessed (Chu Lingxiao just verified his guess), Senior Brother Helan is... how to put it... a bit pitiful.
Of course, he felt sorry for Senior Brother Lu as well... If they were allowed to continue misunderstanding each other, their prejudices against each other would surely grow deeper, right?
This would not benefit either of them, but looking at Senior Brother Helan's current appearance, it was obvious that he had no intention of clearing up the misunderstanding.
Gu Qingze suddenly realized something, so... Ling Xiao suddenly asked him that not long ago.
It turned out that he was asking whether he should add fuel to the fire and help Senior Brothers Helan and Lu resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible.
