"If that's the case, how can I explain this to Senior Brother Bing Ling? He's still waiting for the 'Three Lives Flower' to save his lover."
Chu Lingxiao seemed remarkably calm. "I don't know if the 'Three Lives Flower' has this ability, but I do know why the coffin keeper gave it up."
"What's the reason?" Gu Qingze's eyes lit up instantly. According to Ling Xiao's words, the coffin keeper gave up the 'Three Lives Flower' not because he had tried it and found it useless, but for other reasons.
"Because..." Chu Lingxiao suddenly looked up and gazed at the quiet bamboo forest not far away, "'Three Lives Flower' cannot be used on 'Yue'er'."
"No? Why not?" Gu Qingze was puzzled.
"Because the 'Three Lives Flower' is the flower condensed from the purest and most ultimate love. This is what I discovered from the memories of the coffin keeper, and I have found more information about the 'Three Lives Flower'."
Chu Lingxiao continued slowly, "And that love came from Yue'er, so the Three Lives Flower appeared in Yue'er's hand."
"I see. I thought the 'Three Lives Flower' in her hand was obtained by the coffin keeper and placed in her hand."
"If that's the case, shouldn't we try? The San Sheng Flower was born because of 'Yue'er'. Shouldn't the coffin keeper be obsessed with it, believing that it can bring a glimmer of hope for 'Yue'er'?" Gu Qingze became more and more confused.
Chu Lingxiao shook his head: "That's why it can't be used. The 'Three Life Flowers' can't be used on 'Yue'er,' the person who was born because of her."
Gu Qingze suddenly felt that there was a hint of fate playing tricks on him. He seemed to understand something and suddenly realized.
"That's why the coffin keeper's smile was so complicated. It proved Yue'er's selfless, pure, and ultimate love for him, but it also meant he lost all hope of ever getting Yue'er back."
"Yeah." Chu Lingxiao's expression also revealed a hint of sadness. "The feeling of gaining hope and then losing it is too... despairing. That's why I hope he can let it go a little."
Gu Qingze grasped the key message in his words and smiled sweetly at him, "So... Ling Xiao is admitting that you created this illusion for the coffin keeper and Yue'er?"
Chu Lingxiao realized that he had accidentally let something slip while sighing, and subconsciously retorted, "I didn't."
“Obviously.”
"No."
"Yes."
"Really not."
“Yes!”
“No!”
....................
Chu Lingxiao kept refuting, and gradually, his expression seemed to turn from shame and anger, as if he was gradually losing the upper hand in the verbal battle with Qingze.
He struggled to break free from Qingze's warm embrace and splashed water on him.
Gu Qingze naturally did not want to be outdone, and immediately raised his arms and splashed water as well.
The two of them played the "water splashing game" in this mist. Soon they were soaked all over. Even their ink-black hair could not escape and was soaked by water.
"It's fine, just think of it as washing your hair." Gu Qingze comforted himself.
Chu Lingxiao widened his golden eyes in dissatisfaction and said, "Damn Qingze, now it's gone! When my hair dries, it will definitely smell like medicine."
Gu Qingze cried out in injustice, pointing at himself in disbelief: "Ling Xiao, if I remember correctly, it was you who started it, right? Besides, the mess my hair is in right now is not even half as bad as yours."
"That's because you said that first, which made me..."
Chu Lingxiao pursed his lips halfway through his words and stopped talking. He just walked away from him angrily. He looked like a puffed-up pufferfish, which was a bit cute.
Gu Qingze slowly moved towards him, and while he was still not reacting, he gently kissed his hair, and indeed he smelled a strong smell of medicine.
"Ling Xiao..."
He smiled slightly, opened his arms and took him into his arms again, and asked him softly:
"I know Ling Xiao is very considerate and would definitely not get angry with someone like me over something like this. So... Ling Xiao must be angry for other reasons, right?"
"Could it be that... Ling Xiao is shy? Because I exposed his true thoughts?"
"Qingze, don't be so sentimental. I'm not like that..."
Chu Lingxiao retorted subconsciously, then lowered his head and remained silent for a moment before slowly saying:
"I...I just don't want to be arbitrarily defined by others. For example, if others think I'm a good person, it will inevitably bring me a lot of trouble and unnecessary trivialities. I don't want that."
Gu Qingze patted him on the back gently to show his understanding, but said nothing more.
Chu Lingxiao raised his head and looked at him, his eyes full of seriousness, "What about Qingze?"
"What?" Gu Qingze was still immersed in his own thoughts and did not come back to his senses for a moment.
"That is... Qingze wants others to have a good impression of you? Even if it causes unnecessary trouble."
Gu Qingze was silent for a moment, then slowly replied:
"My thinking has definitely changed... I used to be eager and looking forward to this. After all, people always crave good reviews and recognition from others... I am no exception."
Gu Qingze paused here, looked at Ling Xiao, smiled at him, and then continued:
