Their conversation didn't last long, not even an hour.
After achieving his wish, Gu Qingze did not stay any longer. After saying goodbye to Gu Hongjing, he rushed to his room.
Originally, Gu Qingze walked into the room with great anticipation, intending to give Ling Xiao a warm hug immediately.
However, the moment he stepped into the room, he found that Ling Xiao was concentrating on practicing.
So, he had to abruptly stop what he was about to do, and then sat quietly aside, looking at Ling Xiao with gentle and focused eyes.
Chu Lingxiao didn't know how long he had been practicing. When he slowly opened his eyes, the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes. Those eyes were full of concentration and affection, staring at him quietly.
"Qingze..." Before Chu Lingxiao could finish his words, he was hugged tightly by Gu Qingze, or...it might be more appropriate to describe him as "encircled".
"Ling Xiao, guess what I talked about with my father?" Gu Qingze's voice was filled with mystery and expectation.
Chu Lingxiao really needs to rely on guessing when facing Qingze at this time.
After all, for some unknown reason, his ability now seems to have completely lost its effect on Qingze. He can't see through his thoughts or obtain his information, and this only applies to Qingze.
He thought about it for a while, then looked at Gu Qingze and cautiously asked, "Has your father asked about your recent situation in Qingyun Sect?"
"You guessed part of it right." Gu Qingze said, kissing him lightly on the cheek, "This is a reward for Ling Xiao's correct guess."
After Chu Lingxiao was kissed by him, he was slightly stunned. His first reaction after coming to his senses was to look at the door.
At this time, the door of the room was locked tightly and outsiders should not be able to open it. He checked carefully and made sure that everything was correct before his gaze returned to Gu Qingze, or to be more precise... to his lips.
Chu Lingxiao felt a strong urge in his heart, and he wanted to kiss her directly... However, he decided to cooperate with Qingze to play this game. After all, Qingze seemed to be in high spirits.
Chu Lingxiao thought about this for a while and said, "I guess he also mentioned your fiancée. After all, you broke off the engagement, so this matter will definitely reach your father's ears."
"...I guess so." Gu Qingze smiled. Although he only mentioned it in passing, Gu Hongjing did mention Wei'er.
"Then guess what else they talked about?" Gu Qingze looked at Chu Lingxiao, his voice so gentle that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
Chu Lingxiao didn't continue answering, but poked his cheek with his fingertips: "Since I answered correctly, why didn't I get a kiss this time? I want Qingze's kiss reward."
So cute, this is just a way of acting cute... Asking for kisses actively... This is really unfair.
Gu Qingze's heart softened, and he quickly moved closer to his face, pecked it several times, and then quickly separated.
He pretended to be serious and said, "Ahem, can we continue guessing now?"
"That's possible, but I can't guess the rest." Chu Lingxiao frowned slightly and said after thinking for a moment.
"Normally, when a father looks for his son, it's all about the same things: career, life, marriage, and the continuation of offspring."
"If the son is in the government, he will ask about his recent career status, such as whether his career is going smoothly, whether he has encountered any difficult problems, or whether there are any opportunities for promotion."
But Qingze is cultivating now, so he must be asking about the recent situation of Qingyun Sect, which I have already mentioned. "
"If the son is unmarried, he will urge them to get married, so that they can start a family sooner, continue the family bloodline, and find a stable home in life. If the son is already married, the father will urge them to have children sooner..."
As Chu Lingxiao analyzed the situation, he seemed to have thought of something: "Qingze, your father is not trying to find another good man for you because he saw that you broke off the engagement, so he is urging you to get married, right?"
Before Gu Qingze could even open his mouth to speak, Chu Lingxiao rejected the idea himself: "It's unlikely. If that were the case, you wouldn't be so happy to see me. You might even look guilty."
"So the possibility of him forcing you to get married is not very high... Could it be that he wants to give you the position of head of the family right now?"
"Ling Xiao, I..."
Chu Lingxiao rejected this idea again: "Inheriting the position of Patriarch is not an easy job. Besides, you are currently a disciple of Qingyun Sect, cultivating diligently. It is unlikely that he will pass it on to you at this time."
Gu Qingze stopped him from guessing any further, took his hand, and interlocked their fingers. The warm touch spread instantly, and even Chu Lingxiao stopped talking and was stunned for a moment.
Gu Qingze took advantage of his moment of stunned silence and said seriously, "I told my father about our situation. He accepted it well and even offered to hold the Dao Ceremony for us..."
"...But I have declined it for now. After all, we have discussed it before. What we need to do more at this stage is to practice..."
Chu Lingxiao didn't hear a word of what was said afterwards. He felt dazed, as if he was dreaming, and felt inexplicably unreal.
"Qingze, you are the future head of the family. How could your father agree to us being together so easily?"
"You know, it's impossible for us to have children of our own. In your father's eyes, if the two of us were together, wouldn't the main branch of your Gu family be cut off?"
"Qingze, you are the only bloodline of your main line. How could the current head of the Gu family agree so easily?"
Chu Lingxiao's voice was full of surprise and confusion. Gu Qingze smiled helplessly at his reaction. It turned out that Lingxiao had stayed in the Chu family for too long and was still influenced and poisoned by the feudal dregs.
