It just so happened that in Qingyun City, Gu Qingze from the Gu family and Chu Lingxiao from the Chu family often traveled together.
Chu Lingxiao's situation is somewhat regrettable. Because he is unable to practice, his status in the family has plummeted and he has gradually lost his value. He has become like an abandoned chess piece in the Chu family.
But Gu Qingze from the Gu family, who often stays with him, is completely different from him. Today, Gu Qingze is the most popular person in the city.
Su Ming is determined to help Zhou Yue and help the Zhou family regain its strength. Since the Su family and the Zhou family cannot cooperate, then uniting with the Gu family may be a feasible way forward.
So, Su Ming racked his brains to find a way to get to know Gu Qingze, hoping to establish a deep relationship with Gu Qingze, so as to use Gu Qingze's power to help Zhou Yue and the Zhou family.
But Gu Qingze was always extremely polite in his attitude towards others, but that politeness revealed a coldness that made it difficult for people to get close to him.
On the surface, he could have a few words with anyone who came to see him, but that kind of conversation was like duckweed floating on the water, without any foundation.
He seemed to be wearing an invisible mask, tightly closing his inner world.
This kind of person is very good at maintaining superficial social relationships and is very adept at socializing, making it difficult for others to reach their true feelings.
Su Ming knew that this was not an easy task, but he did not give up easily and pulled Zhou Yue to try many times.
When they faced Gu Qingze, they tried their best to find various topics to talk to him. However, no matter how hard they tried, Gu Qingze remained polite and indifferent, as if there was always a thick barrier between them that was difficult to break through.
This gave Su Ming a headache, but he did not give up and was still trying to find ways to get closer to Gu Qingze.
Some time passed like this, until the tense and anticipated trial arrived.
When the first trial began, Su Ming, as usual, took Zhou Yue to Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao.
Zhou Yue had a faint smile on his face, his eyes bright and gentle. He raised his hand and started talking to them. After a simple greeting, he and Su Ming turned and left.
The task of the first trial is to obtain the spirit beast crystal core.
At first, everything went smoothly, and the gentle breeze seemed to be helping them.
But who would have thought that something unexpected would happen after just a short while.
A group of robbers suddenly appeared like ghosts, breaking the original peace. Afterwards, students were surrounded by this group of robbers one after another.
Zhou Yue's body was trembling slightly. Although he was a little scared inside, his feet stood firmly in front of Su Ming as if they had taken root, with his arms open, as if he wanted to use his body to build a protective wall for Su Ming.
Su Ming looked at Zhou Yue's back and felt a little touched. He reached out and gently placed his hand on Zhou Yue's shoulder, trying his best to calm his nervous mood.
Just when they thought they had to hand over everything they had, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao appeared.
Su Ming's eyes lit up instantly, as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness, and he was convinced that things had taken a turn for the better.
However, something ridiculous happened the next second. They were easily captured by the robbers and gathered together with other captured students.
Su Ming thought helplessly in his heart, Well, it turns out that he came here to walk into a trap.
Originally, they were all ready to admit defeat.
But looking at Gu Qingze's appearance, he felt something was wrong. Gu Qingze looked calm, with a flash of determination in his eyes, and he took the initiative to step forward.
Taking advantage of the robbers' off guard and lack of vigilance, he suddenly launched an attack and ambushed one of them.
Although the initial sneak attack was unsuccessful, his subsequent countermeasures were very effective. After some negotiation, the robbers actually took the initiative to seek cooperation.
Seeing that Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao were planning to take a few people with them, Su Ming looked at Zhou Yue.
Zhou Yue mustered up the courage to fight for the chance for the two of them, and Su Ming followed suit.
Gu Qingze is worthy of being the young master of the Gu family. He behaves in a magnanimous and generous manner.
In the process of cooperation, many benefits are given.
Su Ming was thinking in his mind that after he got the Holy Spirit Fruit, he would give it all to A Yue. After all, he didn't care much about improving his own cultivation.
In this way, they just followed along the way and gained a lot of benefits.
During the break at the end of the collaboration, Su Ming keenly noticed the unspoken feelings between Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao.
He couldn't help but wonder, if he could expose their relationship and allow them to be together successfully, would it promote the relationship between Zhou Yue and Gu Qingze and get some support from the Gu family?
However, this thought only flashed through his mind.
He thought back to his past experiences, and those memories came flooding back like a tide. Speaking of which, that experience was indeed not very good, and could even be said to be very bad. He had already paid the price for meddling in other people's affairs, so it was better not to interfere in other people's relationships again.
After saying goodbye to the robbers and setting off on the return journey, my nerves instantly relaxed from their tense state, and I was enveloped in a sense of ease.
But because of this, he relaxed his guard for a moment, and the teasing words he said quietly to Zhou Yue were heard by Gu Qingze without missing a word.
Su Ming's heart suddenly sank and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
His relationship with Zhou Yue could not be made public yet. Not to mention the rumors from those around them that would drown them like a tide, the two major families, the Su and Zhou families, would definitely not let them go.
