Although his cultivation had reached the foundation-building stage, his true strength was lacking and was somewhat exaggerated.
Gu Qingze suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Zhao Er was really not as good as his brother.
Although their cultivation levels were similar, he would occasionally go to the Zhao family to find Zhao Er when he was in school.
During this process, he saw Zhao Er's brother, Zhao Yi. His brother was a very capable person, and it was no wonder that his father valued him so much.
But after all, Gu Qingze had promised Zhao Er before, so he couldn't just refuse now.
Just as he was struggling to think of a countermeasure, Chu Lingxiao patted him on the shoulder.
Gu Qingze didn't understand what was going on, but the moment he looked into Ling Xiao's eyes and saw his determined look, it was as if a flash of inspiration suddenly came to him, and he instantly understood what he meant.
He was telling him to handle the matter.
Gu Qingze miraculously calmed down and nodded at him.
So, having obtained his consent, Chu Lingxiao first looked at Zhao Er, beckoned him, and motioned him to come over.
Then, as he came over, she whispered something in his ear.
Zhao Er's expression changed instantly, and he smiled happily: "Thank you, Brother Chu. I'm sorry to bother you guys. I hope you have fun!"
After he said that, he skipped away.
Gu Qingze was a little confused. Zhao Er just met them by chance, so he should have come to the restaurant to eat. What did Ling Xiao say to make Zhao Er so happy that he even forgot his original purpose (coming to the restaurant to eat).
Chu Lingxiao seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and without waiting for him to ask, he spoke directly, but with a hint of ridicule:
"Qingze, you are a cultivator. I didn't deliberately use anything to prevent you from hearing. If you just used your spiritual power to enhance your hearing, wouldn't you be able to hear it?"
Gu Qingze shook his head, looking righteous and saying, "That's different. I'd rather you tell me in person."
Chu Lingxiao waved his hands, looking like he really couldn't do anything to you:
"Actually, I didn't say anything. I just painted another pie for him. As for him being so excited... maybe it's because my description was so successful?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingze smiled in surprise. He had just casually told Ling Xiao the term "painting a pie in the sky", but he had not expected that Ling Xiao could use it so accurately. All he could say was... he was worthy of being Ling Xiao.
He thought so in his heart and did not continue to ask for specific details. Zhao Er had already left. Now was the time that belonged to him and Ling Xiao alone. He did not want to continue talking about things related to Zhao Er.
Chu Lingxiao waved his hand in front of him: "What? Am I boring? Why does Qingze get distracted so easily when he listens to me?"
Gu Qingze shook his head: "No, I was just surprised that Ling Xiao could use the new words so accurately."
Chu Lingxiao heard this and said as if it was a matter of course: "What's so surprising about this? After all, I'm so smart, I can master anything quickly."
After he finished speaking, he looked at him with his terrifyingly bright golden eyes:
"It's a pity that Qingze can't tell me too much about yourself, but I guess, with so many words I don't know, Qingze's life before... must be very interesting."
Gu Qingze smiled, but his smile was a little bitter. He seemed to have thought of something: "It's not that interesting. It's more boring. Repeating the same thing day after day, busy with life..."
"But..." He suddenly changed the subject, "I think it would be much more interesting if Ling Xiao were here."
He looked into his eyes seriously: "To be honest, before I met Ling Xiao, I thought I would be alone for the rest of my life."
