So, after she ran a few steps, he quickly put a talisman on her back, which could not only protect her safety but also quickly locate her position when she was in danger.
He silently watched her back until she completely disappeared from his sight...
Then, he turned around and returned to the room he had booked at the inn in a nearby town. Just as he was about to lie down to rest, a lively and smart voice suddenly came, breaking the silence in the room.
"Brother Xiao Chu, I heard some noise outside. Are you back? I, Sister Luo, and Sister Yi are all very worried about you."
Chu Lingxiao felt helpless. He had indeed forgotten about this.
So he had to get up and said to the people inside through the door: "I'm fine, remember to rest early."
He is actually not good at dealing with this kind of situation, or even very bad at it.
The power of the plot was simply too strong... He simply couldn't understand why the protagonist in the original plot had so many harems.
He felt that just communicating with them had consumed a lot of his energy.
Maybe it’s because the original plot was made up of the creator’s imagination, so this relationship was exaggerated in the imagination?
Chu Lingxiao didn't know.
But what he was sure of was that his energy was very limited and he could only put all of himself into one person.
He never understood those who were fickle and indecisive before...Now, he couldn't understand it even more.
What's more, he had already clearly rejected them.
But due to the power of the plot, they still choose to follow him.
Therefore, he could only choose to become friends with them in order to maintain a relatively harmonious relationship.
After all, if they get along too stiffly, it will not only look ugly, but they are also not at fault themselves, they are just affected by the plot.
At this time, Chu Lingxiao's longing for Gu Qingze became even stronger. If Gu Qingze were here, how great would that be? He could let Gu Qingze personally prove that he really had a Taoist partner and it wasn't just a fabrication.
Perhaps, Gu Qingze's presence can weaken the influence of some plot forces.
Chu Lingxiao recalled the time he spent with Gu Qingze. Back then, even if they met a woman who might have developed feelings for him according to the original plot, they were able to remain rational and stick to themselves, unlike now... when they were completely influenced by the plot.
In order to stop his wild thoughts, Chu Lingxiao forced himself to close his eyes and focus on resting and recovering.
.........
The next morning—
Bai Yueli returned to the team. Her expression was the same as usual, as if nothing had happened yesterday and she had not been rejected again.
The look in her eyes when she looked at Chu Lingxiao was full of infatuation, and that sincere emotion did not seem fake.
However, Chu Lingxiao only felt that it was a little... scary.
Because he knew that it was the power of the plot that was forcibly changing Bai Yueli's consciousness, forcing her to forget the unpleasant experience of yesterday.
"Sister Ling'er, Sister A'luo, Sister Yi, we have to continue our journey." Bai Yueli smiled and knocked on everyone's door one by one.
When everyone arrived, Chu Lingxiao looked at them with a complicated expression.
He thought about the plot for a moment, then said, "Then let's go to Mucheng next."
