"Isn't it an illusion?"
Gu Qingze had a guess before, and this guess had been confirmed by Chu Lingxiao. However, it was only a partial clue about Senior Brother Helan and Senior Brother Lu.
In Gu Qingze's eyes, Senior Brother Helan's character is somewhat unreliable and erratic.
Thinking of this, Gu Qingze put his head close to Chu Lingxiao, as if to act like a spoiled child: "Lingxiao, I want to listen, tell me about it."
Chu Lingxiao did not tell him immediately because of his coquettishness, but raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile:
"Want to hear it? Then Qingze, you must keep it a secret, and you can't let Senior Brother Helan and others find out, otherwise I won't tell you."
Gu Qingze nodded almost without thinking, and even gestured to his mouth with his hand, indicating that he would definitely keep his mouth shut.
In fact, even without Ling Xiao's reminder, he would not have revealed a word. After all, this would be a disguised exposure of Ling Xiao's ability, and it would also be an immoral act.
Chu Lingxiao finally felt relieved and slowly moved closer to him. Their skins were tightly pressed against each other without any gap, and their bodies were pressed against each other intimately.
Gu Qingze swallowed subconsciously. He was already in a hot spring and the surroundings were warm. With Ling Xiao standing so close to him, he felt inexplicably hotter and even his mouth became a little dry.
Could it be that Ling Xiao had taken away the oxygen around him? Otherwise, why would he feel a little short of breath?
While Gu Qingze was lost in thought, Chu Lingxiao's lips had already reached his earlobe and just stopped.
"Qingze, which part do you want to hear... Well, forget it, I'll start from the beginning."
Chu Lingxiao narrated the story in great detail, telling him bit by bit all the information he had obtained about Senior Brother Helan through his own abilities, and presented it from the most objective perspective possible without adding too much personal emotion.
Gu Qingze also listened very carefully. Gradually, he was immersed in it and didn't even feel the heat around him.
After Ling Xiao finished speaking, she first kissed him lightly on the ear and then slowly moved away a little, but the distance was still not far. Ling Xiao's face was very close, and she only needed to move a little closer to kiss him.
When Gu Qingze came to his senses, his cheeks were instantly flushed. The kiss seemed to carry a trace of electricity, which instantly spread throughout his body, and even the rhythm of his heartbeat was completely disordered.
He finally knew the reason for the inexplicable heat, but even though he already knew it, he still coughed lightly, trying to divert his attention to prevent the desire in his heart from becoming stronger.
After all... Ling Xiao is still injured, and it would not be good for him to do strenuous exercise at this time.
He repeatedly warned himself in his heart.
Fortunately, Gu Qingze's method of diverting his attention was quite effective, and soon, his mind was no longer filled with those beautiful things.
"Ling Xiao, is this all the information you know about Senior Brother Helan?"
"Well, Senior Brother Helan has a high level of cultivation, and he's from the fox demon clan, so he's more sensitive to emotional matters... Furthermore, I wasn't actively acquiring information, but rather passively receiving it. Therefore, the information I've obtained is limited to this."
"But these are enough to roughly piece together the context of what happened through this information."
Chu Lingxiao nodded and answered seriously, but there seemed to be a bit of loss in his eyes. He had been deliberately teasing her for a long time, so why did Qingze calm down so quickly?
Gu Qingze lowered his head, looking thoughtful. After a long while, he raised his head with a firm expression. He patted his shoulder and said,
"Ling Xiao, Senior Brother Helan has helped us so much, we should also help him a little. At the very least... we should resolve the misunderstanding between him and Senior Brother Lu. As for whether Senior Brother Lu accepts his feelings, that is another matter."
Chu Lingxiao was surprised when he heard this. "That's right, Qingze. I thought that with your slow nature, it would be difficult for you to detect his feelings for Senior Brother Lu from this information."
"I never thought... After three days of absence, one should look at you with new eyes. Qingze, you are no longer the same person who viewed everything as friendship and brotherhood."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingze blushed and turned his face away awkwardly. "Well... isn't this Teacher Ling Xiao's good teaching... And Teacher Ling Xiao has hinted at it to that extent. If I still treat it as a friendship or brotherhood, I'd be a fool."
Chu Lingxiao took the opportunity to move closer to him, and while he turned his face away out of embarrassment, he gently kissed his cheek.
After he finally reacted, it was as if his brain had crashed, and his expression remained unchanged. I couldn't help but chuckle.
Gu Qingze's face became redder and redder, and he wanted to cough again to divert his attention and stop his face from continuing to turn red. He even suspected that if he continued like this, his brain might not be able to think at all.
"Ahem, ahem, Ling Xiao, what about you?"
Chu Lingxiao was a little confused by the incoherent words. He tilted his head, trying to listen more clearly.
"It's just...whether you are willing to join me and help Senior Brother Helan."
"Hmm... clearing up the misunderstanding will at least benefit both of you, Senior Brothers. It can also be considered as helping Senior Brother Lu. I can see that Senior Brother Lu is quite concerned about this matter."
"As for what kind of relationship they want to develop and how they get along after the situation is resolved, that's their own business."
Gu Qingze spoke incoherently, perhaps because he was shy just now and his brain had not yet fully recovered the ability to think.
But Chu Lingxiao still understood. He waved his hand, a helpless look on his face:
"Didn't I decide to help a long time ago? Qingze, when I confirmed your guess, didn't you also decide to help?"
Gu Qingze nodded, and then said confidently: "But at that time we had a tacit understanding, and we had not reached a clear agreement together."
"Besides... Senior Brother Helan is helping us more and more now, so... I really want to do it more... It's not that I wasn't sincere before, but I'm more willing to do it now."
Chu Lingxiao patted his shoulder to show his understanding.
"Then let's start by handing over the things Senior Brother Helan asked us to give to Senior Brother Lu."
