"Qingze, are you... okay?"
Chu Lingxiao keenly noticed that the hand holding his sword was shaking due to overuse, and asked with concern.
Gu Qingze shook his head slightly and forced a smile. "I'm... fine. I can recover with a drink of recovery potion. I have plenty of recovery potions in my storage bag anyway, so there's no need to worry about that."
Upon hearing this, Chu Lingxiao curled his lips in dissatisfaction, as if because he didn't get the answer he wanted, and his bright golden eyes stared straight at him.
After a while, as if in compromise, he gently wrapped Qingze's hand with his own and massaged his hand and wrist carefully.
"Qingze, you know that my special ability is to be able to understand your emotions and current state."
"...So, even though I knew the answer clearly, I still asked because I hoped to hear the most honest answer from you, rather than Qingze's boastful words."
Gu Qingze lowered his eyes for a moment, then raised them again. He did not continue speaking, but instead asked, "What about Ling Xiao? Ling Xiao, are you okay?"
Chu Lingxiao was speechless for a moment: "I...I..."
Gu Qingze seemed to have anticipated the outcome. He smiled calmly, but there was a hint of helplessness in his smile.
"See, Ling Xiao can't show his vulnerable side without reservation, even in front of his most beloved person. So, we are both the same."
Chu Lingxiao's massage of his wrist suddenly increased considerably. Gu Qingze feigned a cry of pain and complained, "Lingxiao, you can't argue with me, so you're just taking personal revenge, right?"
"What do you mean by 'taking revenge'? Massage requires firm pressure. How can gentle massage be effective? Qingze, don't make empty statements and wrongly accuse a good person for no reason."
Chu Lingxiao said, and increased his strength again, and then as if he thought of something, he added:
"One more thing, I'm not doing this because I can't argue with Qingze or I feel I'm in the wrong."
"Just now, facing Qingze's question, I was just a little hesitant. Unlike Qingze, he directly told me some so-called 'white lies' and didn't tell me the truth at all."
"If we're talking about who's at fault, it should be Qingze who's at fault."
Gu Qingze shrugged and stopped arguing with Ling Xiao. He just leaned quietly on his shoulder and sighed helplessly:
"Okay, I'm indeed in the wrong, but even if I tell Ling Xiao, what's the point? This kind of thing can't be solved by medicine, and Ling Xiao can't solve it either. The only solution is a long rest."
"Ling Xiao, you and I both need a long rest now to offset our current fatigue. No amount of recovery potions can restore us."
Chu Lingxiao did not deny it, or to be more precise, he also felt that what Qingze said made sense, and he really needed a long rest.
He continued to accumulate the spiritual power in his dantian, then consumed it all, then used recovery potions to instantly fill up the spiritual power in his dantian, then consumed it all again... This cycle repeated over and over again, and his dantian could no longer bear it.
He felt that his Dantian seemed unable to withstand such a strong impact. Every time he drank recovery potions to restore his spiritual power, his Dantian felt unbearable pain, as if it was about to break.
Chu Lingxiao stretched his legs to make himself sit more comfortably, and said casually:
"Qingze, tell me, did I misjudge the intentions of the person behind this? He might not guarantee our lives."
"Perhaps... the person behind this is only responsible for luring us here, and we are of no use to his plan... We will be left to fend for ourselves here."
Gu Qingze was slightly startled when he heard this. Could it be that Ling Xiao didn't know that he was the "Son of Luck"? If he knew, he wouldn't think anything could happen here.
He originally thought that Ling Xiao knew about this... After all, Ling Xiao's bloodline awakened and he gained that ability, and before his bloodline awakened, he had already realized his own peculiarity.
After his bloodline awakened and abilities were acquired, Ling Xiao's conversations with him became smoother and there were no flaws at all.
So... it was Heaven that intentionally concealed the part related to the "Son of Luck" and also deliberately changed part of Ling Xiao's thinking so that he would not think in this direction?
Otherwise, with Ling Xiao's ability, he couldn't have thought of these...
Gu Qingze held his hand tightly. "Don't say such depressing words. We will definitely be fine. Maybe... the process will be a little tortuous and painful, but the ending will definitely be good."
Chu Lingxiao could feel the certainty in his words. It was not just a way of comforting himself, but an inexplicable confidence that came from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Qingze continued, "Besides, I'm here. As long as I'm here, even if something happens to me, I will definitely not let anything happen to Ling Xiao."
Chu Lingxiao frowned in disapproval: "We all need to be safe. If one day you are gone, I won't live alone... Hmm?"
As he was speaking, a hand covered his mouth and he could not continue speaking.
Gu Qingze leaned close to him and said seriously, "If that day ever comes, even if I'm gone, you must live on, live for yourself."
When Chu Lingxiao heard this, he became more and more dissatisfied, but his mouth was covered and he could only make "mmm" sounds.
Seeing that he was struggling more and more violently, Gu Qingze added as if to comfort him, "Of course, our Ling Xiao is so kind, I definitely won't want to leave, so that day won't come."
