Upon hearing this, Gu Qingze nodded slightly and said in deep agreement, "Indeed, this is indeed too reckless."
A glimmer of thought flashed across his inky eyes. After a moment of hesitation, he suggested:
"Then why don't we let the puppet sit in the sedan chair, and then let Xiaobai (Gu Qingze's contracted spirit beast) take the bride to the groom, wouldn't that be good?"
"Anyway, getting married is just a formality. As long as the groom doesn't find out, it'll be fine. When we're almost there, we'll let the bride get into the sedan chair."
Chu Lingxiao smiled upon hearing this, "After all, he's a powerful ghost cultivator. Even the most lifelike and well-made puppet will reveal flaws, so there's no way we can fool him with a puppet."
"If we want to lure him out, the people in the wedding procession can't use puppets."
Gu Qingze seemed to be lost in thought, a pensive look appearing on his handsome face.
"What about using illusion as an aid, and adding puppets? Would this sleight of hand work?"
The reason why he asked this was because the owner of the Dream Pearl was Ling Xiao, so he had the strongest control over the Dream Pearl, and the same was naturally true for illusions.
Chu Lingxiao shook his head: "Ghost cultivators are best at controlling ghosts and have a deep understanding of ghosts."
"The puppet only has a puppet core, no soul. I used magic to create an illusion to confuse people. It's okay to deal with other cultivators, but against ghost cultivators..."
He paused slightly, as if thinking of more appropriate words.
Gu Qingze asked, "So we can only use living people, right?"
"That's right." Chu Lingxiao nodded. "Not only that, we should also try to collect all the spiritual weapons we have, to prevent the ghost cultivators from escaping after being discovered."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingze put all his spiritual weapons into his storage bag without hesitation, including the sword that gleamed with cold light: "Okay, now I don't have any spiritual weapons on me."
Chu Lingxiao felt helpless: "Didn't I ask you to collect it now? I told you to collect it later when you are in the wedding procession. What if there is any danger?"
Gu Qingze couldn't help but smile and jokingly said, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if I put it away now. I have Ling Xiao to protect me."
Even so, he still took out his sword from the storage bag and added, "Of course, you still have to rely on yourself first."
Chu Lingxiao couldn't help but murmur softly when he heard his words: "It's okay to rely on me occasionally..."
"Yeah." Although he spoke in a low voice, Gu Qingze still caught it in time and responded.
Soon their conversation returned to the main topic.
Gu Qingze said with some distress: "The rest are nothing, they can all be solved. The problem is, where can we find a living person willing to risk getting on the sedan chair?"
Chu Lingxiao said: "As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. As long as the money is enough, there will always be someone willing to do it."
Gu Qingze fell into thought for a while, then shook his head: "Forget it, we can't let others take risks for the safety of Liu Erniu's daughter."
Chu Lingxiao looked at him, his gentle gaze seemed to melt everything: "What does Qingze want to do?"
Gu Qingze hesitated for a moment before asking, "Ling Xiao...you just said it had to be a living person, and didn't specify it had to be a woman, so a man would be fine too, right?"
"That's true. Could it be that Qingze wants to..." Chu Lingxiao understood what he meant. "Could it be that Qingze hasn't had enough of women's clothing?"
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and there was a hint of ridicule in his tone.
"Isn't this a mission requirement?" Gu Qingze smiled awkwardly, a smile that was somewhat helpless. "Let me make it clear in advance that I don't have a habit of wearing women's clothes..."
Before Gu Qingze could finish, he was interrupted by Chu Lingxiao: "Since you don't have this kind of fetish, why don't you let me do it this time."
"Ling Xiao, you're coming?" Gu Qingze's tone was a little surprised.
"Why? No? Last time at the brothel, Qingze intercepted me and didn't let me go. This time, at least..."
There was a hint of grievance in Chu Lingxiao's tone, and that grievance was like a wounded deer, which made people feel pity.
Gu Qingze explained weakly, "I'm just worried that Ling Xiao might get into danger."
"I feel the same way. When Qingze was in the brothel, I was worried about him the whole time, fearing that he would be in danger. So I understand your concerns."
When Chu Lingxiao said this, his voice was soft and he looked even more aggrieved. His watery eyes flashed with sincere emotions that could not be ignored.
Gu Qingze lowered his eyes slightly, not daring to look at his expression. He just replied softly, "Okay, then it's your turn this time. I will do my best to protect you."
