Qingyun Sect, Hidden Sword Peak——
After Gu Qingze came back from the trading peak and was enlightened by Chen Mengli, he became much calmer.
When he flew back to Hidden Sword Peak, an unexpected scene came into his sight:
He Lanzhi and Lu Xingchen sat side by side on a huge rock on Cangjian Peak. He Lanzhi leaned lightly on Lu Xingchen's shoulder. The two seemed to be immersed in a private conversation. The atmosphere was warm and subtle.
Gu Qingze's steps paused involuntarily, and he muttered to himself: Is the timing of this return a little inappropriate?
I never thought that one day I would become a "light bulb".
Looking at the two of them, Gu Qingze felt a little complicated. He was hesitating whether to disturb the tranquility, but Lu Xingchen had already noticed him:
"Junior Brother Gu, come and sit down. It's a good opportunity for us brothers to have a good time together."
Gu Qingze faced He Lanzhi's slightly "resentful" but smiling gaze, slowly sat down, and chose the other side of Lu Xingchen.
"Brother, what are you two doing here?"
Out of curiosity, Gu Qingze couldn't help but ask.
Lu Xingchen smiled slightly, his eyes twinkling like the stars in the night sky: "Nothing, just chatting with your Senior Brother Helan for a while."
"Then..." He looked up at the night sky. At this moment, the night sky was dotted with stars, which looked very beautiful.
His tone was full of cherishment for the beautiful moment. "I enjoyed the scenery with the little fox. After all, the moonlight tonight is so beautiful, it would be a pity not to see it."
"Little Fox"... Is this referring to Senior Brother Helan?
Gu Qingze speculated secretly in his heart and couldn't help but smile.
Also... Senior Brother Lu, do you know that "The moonlight tonight is so beautiful" is a confession...
He probably didn't know... After all, this sentence came from a modern novel. However, what he didn't expect was that Senior Brother Lu would unconsciously say such romantic words.
After a moment of wandering thoughts, Gu Qingze looked at the starry sky, then at Lu Xingchen, and smiled: "Indeed, the starry sky tonight is beautiful. I haven't seen such a starry sky for a long time."
The three of them looked up at the night sky at the same time. The starlight seemed to fall into their eyes, adding a bit of brilliance to their pupils and illuminating their hearts.
After a moment of silence, Lu Xingchen slowly spoke, breaking the silence:
"Well... Junior Brother Gu, I'm about to leave Qingyun Sect for a while. I wanted to invite you, Little Fox, and Junior Brother Chu to get together, but Junior Brother Chu is not here, so it's just the three of us."
When He Lanzhi heard this, although he had a premonition, he still couldn't hide his reluctance in his heart. His fox ears trembled slightly, revealing his mood.
Gu Qingze looked confused: "Brother Lu, where are you going? Are you going to take a long-term mission?"
Lu Xingchen smiled and shook his head. Against the backdrop of the beautiful night view, his eyes seemed particularly gentle, as if he could embrace everything in the world. "Of course not. I left for personal reasons."
"Personal reasons?" Gu Qingze asked, his eyes full of curiosity.
"Yes." Lu Xingchen looked up at the starry sky again, his eyes gleaming with determination. "My understanding of the way of the sword has reached a bottleneck. I need external stimulation and more experience in the world. Perhaps I can make a breakthrough."
He stretched out his hand, as if trying to catch the stars in the night sky. "Besides... I have been a member of the Qingyun Sect since I was young. Apart from missions, I rarely go out."
"This time, I want to take this opportunity to travel around. After all, the world is vast and full of interesting things. I want to see them with my own eyes and experience them firsthand."
Lu Xingchen smiled carefreely, but He Lanzhi looked at him distressedly, wanting to say something but stopping herself. In the end, she just asked, "Xingxing, how long will you be gone this time?"
Lu Xingchen turned to look at him, his smile as warm as spring. "Our destination is undecided, so it's hard to say when we'll return. However, this should be a long-term plan, so... I've come to say goodbye to you."
He Lanzhi nodded, her fox ears drooping, and she said nothing more. She just responded softly, but the reluctance in her heart surged like a tide.
Gu Qingze noticed something was wrong with He Lanzhi, so to give him a chance, he looked at Lu Xingchen and asked, "Senior Brother Lu, are you going alone?"
"Yeah." Lu Xingchen nodded. "After all, everyone has their own things to do, and I don't want to take up other people's time."
"For a cultivator, cultivation is the most important thing... If I ask someone else to accompany me, disturbing them and wasting their time, I would feel very guilty."
"Besides... not everyone wants to travel around the world."
When Lu Xingchen said the last sentence, his voice became very low, and it became lower and lower...
Gu Qingze looked at He Lanzhi, but said to Lu Xingchen meaningfully: "Brother Lu, if you don't ask, how do you know that no one is willing to go with you?"
Lu Xingchen didn't react for a moment, surprise flashed in his eyes: "Could it be... Junior Brother Gu is willing to go with me?"
He Lanzhi also looked at Gu Qingze with a strange look, as if waiting for his answer.
Gu Qingze gestured for him to calm down, then replied, "As for me...I won't go. I have something else to do. I mean Senior Brother Helan."
After hearing this, Lu Xingchen and Gu Qingze looked at He Lanzhi together. Before he could answer, he shook his head.
"Fox? He can't do that. He's the head of the family now. Although he doesn't need to worry about most of the family's affairs, he still needs to make the final decision when it comes to important matters."
"So even if he's willing, it's hard to do both. Let's just forget it."
He Lanzhi quickly retorted: "Xingxing, even if something happens, I can handle it remotely, there is no conflict."
