Qingyun Sect, Trading Peak——
"Junior Brother Gu, you're here." Chen Mengli seemed to have anticipated Gu Qingze's arrival. She stood at the door of the exchange and greeted him with a smile.
Gu Qingze responded with a smile and nodded gently: "I came here specially to chat with you."
Chen Mengli smiled knowingly, led Gu Qingze into the basement, and then sat down on the sofa with ease.
Gu Qingze touched the sofa, his eyes revealing curiosity, as if he was savoring its texture: "Senior Sister Shen, this sofa...where did you get it from?"
"Oh, this one was redeemed from the system mall. It only cost thirty points. And there happened to be a promotion at the time, and a water cup was given away when you bought a sofa." Chen Mengli explained.
"That's really a good deal..." Gu Qingze commented.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mengli sighed softly, as if lamenting something: "It's a pity... although it's a good deal, it doesn't fit the setting of this world, so it can only be placed in the basement to gather dust."
"However, I will still come here to sit occasionally, otherwise it would be a waste if it becomes a decoration," she added.
Gu Qingze didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he spoke in a somewhat dry voice: "Senior Sister Shen... you are really in a good mood."
Chen Mengli didn't care about his slightly stiff words at all. She smiled and continued, "This is for celebration, so I bought it on impulse."
"Celebrate?" Gu Qingze caught the key word, his eyes lit up, and he muttered, "Could it be that what I said to him worked..."
His voice became lower and lower, and in the end it was almost like he was talking to himself, and Shen Mengli could only hear it vaguely.
"It worked? What do you mean by it worked?" she asked directly, with confusion in her eyes. "Can you explain it more clearly?"
Gu Qingze hesitated for a moment, picked out only the parts closely related to Chen Mengli, and then began to explain.
After hearing this, Shen Mengli's expression became complicated: "Of course it's not what you mentioned."
"In fact, he had already negotiated with me before you. Otherwise, more than ten years after you left Qingyun Sect, I would have left this small world long ago and would not have stayed here until now."
"Have you negotiated?"
Gu Qingze recalled what Feng Ying had said to him before, mentioning that there were better uses for Shen Mengli besides recruiting her. This made him curious, so he asked:
"Senior Sister Shen, please let me know the specific content of the negotiation..."
Before he could finish his words, Chen Mengli winked at him and said:
"It's a secret. But generally speaking, it's not a bad thing. Or rather, the result is much better than expected. You don't have to worry."
"Also, he specifically told me not to tell anyone else about the content of the negotiation, especially you."
Gu Qingze nodded silently after hearing this. It turned out that Feng Ying had anticipated that he would ask these questions.
Since Chen Mengli said so, Gu Qingze immediately changed the subject and did not delve into it further:
"Senior Sister Shen, what's the current relationship between you and Lan Yue?"
When Chen Mengli mentioned "Lan Yue", she seemed to think of something happy and joyful, and a smile appeared on her face: "Well, it's good."
"Although...oh, never mind, I won't talk about that." She hesitated to speak, but her smile remained. It was obvious that the unspoken things did not affect her good mood.
"I'm already very satisfied with the current result. Not only can I be with Lan Yue, but I can also..."
Her words were full of gratitude and happiness. Although she did not elaborate, her satisfaction and joy were beyond words.
Gu Qingze looked at her and felt happy for her in his heart. He just wanted her to be happy...
Judging from her words and expression, the result of her negotiation with Feng Ying... should have both good and unsatisfactory aspects, but overall, the good aspects are obviously greater.
He speculated so, then sat quietly, acting as a listener, carefully listening to the various details of her and Lan Yue's daily interactions.
Although they sound like just some small trivialities in life, as long as two loving people do them together, even those small trivialities in life will become interesting and happy things.
Gu Qingze couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He listened quietly, but his thoughts couldn't help but think of Ling Xiao. Without Ling Xiao around, he always felt a little lonely and isolated...
However, he did not let his emotions show and just listened silently.
When Chen Mengli tells those stories, she is always infectious, as if she can pass on her happiness to the listeners. She exudes a unique charm when she tells the stories.
When Chen Mengli finished speaking, Gu Qingze smiled slightly, then breathed a sigh of relief, as if a big stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground: "I am really happy to see that you can be happy."
Chen Mengli turned to look at him, with a hint of ridicule in her eyes: "You care about me so much?"
"Yeah." Gu Qingze admitted without hesitation, which surprised Shen Mengli.
She frowned slightly, looking a little confused: "Huh?"
Gu Qingze noticed her confusion and explained, "We are friends, aren't we? It's normal for friends to wish each other well, isn't that normal?"
"Ah, that's right." Shen Mengli nodded in agreement.
"And..." Gu Qingze looked at her seriously, "If it weren't for the system energy you gave me, which automatically formed a protective shield when I was in danger, I would definitely have suffered more damage."
