After that, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao returned to their room, sat side by side, and had a long conversation.
They shared their experiences over the years, whether happy or sad, and confided in each other without reservation, becoming each other's most patient listeners.
As if they had some kind of tacit understanding, when they talked about some hardships and difficulties, they would always deliberately downplay them and pass them by, not wanting to make the other party worry about them.
As the conversation deepened, the subtle and slightly unfamiliar atmosphere between the two of them, which had arisen from not seeing each other for a long time, gradually dissipated.
That night, when Chu Lingxiao and Gu Qingze slept on the same bed together after a long time, he felt an unprecedented sense of security.
He was sure that this was the best rest he had in a long time. Without the tension and vigilance of the past, he could finally relax completely.
.........
When Gu Qingze woke up the next morning, he found Chu Lingxiao still sleeping. At that moment, he inexplicably felt a sense of trance and unreality in his heart.
He couldn't help but stretch out his fingertips and gently touch Chu Lingxiao's hair, feeling the slight itch coming from his fingertips. Only then was he sure that all this was real, and he was neither dreaming nor imagining it.
He couldn't bear to disturb Ling Xiao's rest, so he got up carefully, trying not to make any noise. Fortunately, Ling Xiao slept on the inside of the bed, which made it easier for him to leave without disturbing Ling Xiao too much.
He tiptoed out of the room, making sure not to disturb Chu Lingxiao who was still sleeping, before answering Feng Ying's video call request.
After passing through, Feng Ying's image was immediately projected in front of Gu Qingze. Feng Ying looked at him curiously, as if trying to grasp some information from his expression.
"Feng Ying, what's the matter with you looking for me so early?" Gu Qingze asked in confusion.
If Feng Ying hadn't disturbed him, even if he woke up first, he would not leave the room, but would choose to be affectionate with Chu Lingxiao for a while longer.
"It's actually nothing serious," Feng Ying said, but there was a seriousness in his tone that could not be ignored. "I just came to remind you that time is running out. You must leave this world within fifty years."
Gu Qingze's mood became a little complicated. He frowned and asked, "Is it so urgent?"
Feng Ying sighed helplessly, waved his hand and said, "I've tried my best to buy time for you."
"But the laws of nature in this world are gradually becoming more stable as Chu Lingxiao completes more and more plots."
"Although Chu Lingxiao hasn't yet completed all the plots, my system's shielding is becoming increasingly weak against it."
He paused, his tone becoming more serious. "If you can't escape this world within my estimated timeframe, Heaven will be fully aware of your existence as an outsider. Then, expect to face Heaven's full-force attack."
Feng Ying paused for a moment, a hint of worry in his eyes, and reminded him again: "Actually, for safety's sake, the sooner you leave this world, the better. Don't really wait until the deadline I set. After all, plans can never keep up with changes."
"Just like last time, I expected Chu Lingxiao to wait until the next day to go to Qiying Peak, but he went there early. So, you'd better say goodbye to everything you think is worth cherishing in this world as soon as possible before the deadline."
Hearing this, Gu Qingze nodded gratefully: "Feng Ying, thank you for your reminder. I will pay attention to it."
"It's nothing, just a casual remark." Feng Ying responded easily.
But then his eyes became serious again, and he looked at Gu Qingze again and said jokingly:
"How's it going? Am I considerate? I even gave you a day to talk it over before reminding you the next day."
Gu Qingze smiled and nodded, responding, "That's thoughtful, really thoughtful. But...actually, there's no need to go to such great lengths to remind you. Sending a message will also be enough. After all, there isn't much to remind you about."
"That won't do." Feng Ying shook his head seriously. "What if you didn't see the message I sent in time, or missed it for some reason, causing you to be unaware of this important information and miss the best time to leave? That would be even worse. I don't want to see you suffer misfortune because of something like this."
"So, it's better to talk face to face via video call. That way, if you have any questions, you can ask them right away, and I can explain them to you promptly."
"Moreover, video calls are less likely to be missed than messages, and can better ensure that information is accurately conveyed."
After hearing this, Gu Qingze felt that Feng Ying's words did make sense. He seemed to have suddenly thought of something and explained:
"Feng Ying, I was really worried about missing your message, so I've already added you to my special attention list. Whenever you send me a message, the reminder sound effects are different."
"Really?" Feng Ying had an expression of disbelief on her face. "Then why didn't you reply to the message I sent you last time? I thought you didn't see it."
Upon hearing this, a trace of guilt flashed across Gu Qingze's face.
He couldn't tell Feng Ying that after seeing the message, he was so anxious to see Chu Lingxiao that he rushed to Qingyun Sect and forgot to reply to the message, right?
Not to mention that after meeting Ling Xiao, he had already forgotten everything else.
Seeing him like this, Feng Ying smiled helplessly: "Forget it, I was just teasing you just now. It doesn't matter if you don't want to answer."
