Although the negotiations were conducted by Gu Qingze and Su Han, Su Ming could still roughly understand the purpose of Su Han's actions through their words. There was no doubt that it was to pave the way for revenge.
Su Ming and Su Han were not familiar with each other, but he had heard of Su Han's past experiences. In fact, in this place, most people knew about Su Han's past.
Su Han was originally from the Gu family, so logically, his surname should be Gu. In other words, there was indeed some blood connection between Gu Qingze and Su Han, even if it was extremely weak.
When Gu Qingze was planning to go and negotiate, he also wanted Su Ming to try to negotiate with Su Han as well, and the reason he gave was that Su Han was his younger brother.
But Su Ming thought, come on, this method of persuading people to show affection doesn't usually work in reality. Besides, he and Su Han had almost no interactions, not even familiarity, let alone any affection.
The incident was over quickly and they returned to camp.
The night sky was dotted with stars, a truly beautiful sight. Su Ming looked at Zhou Yue, who was also looking back at him. He thought that if Gu Qingze spread the news of his and Zhou Yue's relationship, all this beauty would be gone...
As if he had made up his mind, Su Ming went to the tent where Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao were.
When he got there, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao were sitting by the campfire, talking in low voices.
The bonfire flickered, reflecting the faces of the two people.
Gu Qingze looked up and saw Su Ming, raising his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little surprised by his arrival.
Chu Lingxiao sat quietly aside, his eyes briefly fixed on Su Ming before moving away.
Su Ming took a deep breath and said, "Qingze, can you come over here for a moment? I have something to ask you."
When Gu Qingze heard that, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he subconsciously glanced quickly in the direction of Chu Lingxiao.
He thought that this action was extremely covert, but he didn't know that this little sneaky move was seen by Su Ming, which also made Su Ming more confident in his guess about himself.
At this time, the sky was getting dark and the campfires around the camp were flickering.
Gu Qingze slowly walked towards the tent where Su Ming and Zhou Yue were.
When he arrived, Zhou Yue had already crawled into the tent and carefully pulled the tent curtain up most of the way.
Su Ming understood that Zhou Yue did this to leave space for him and Gu Qingze to communicate alone.
A gentle breeze blew by, causing the ropes around the tent to sway slightly and make a slight noise.
Su Ming's lips curled up into a meaningful smile. He looked at Gu Qingze and slowly spoke, taking the initiative to expose the delicate relationship between Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao.
Gu Qingze's face turned red instantly. He opened his mouth but stammered in denial.
Su Ming looked at Gu Qingze's nervous expression and asked a few more questions in a relaxed and teasing tone.
Gu Qingze's eyes wandered around, but he didn't dare to look Su Ming in the eye.
After a while, Su Ming waved his hand and let him go back.
Su Ming thought that since his goal had been achieved, it didn't matter whether Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao were really together or not.
Gu Qingze must be confused right now, and must be struggling with the relationship between himself and Chu Lingxiao. If that were the case, he would definitely not talk about the matter between him and Zhou Yue.
...........
When the first trial finally came to an end, the air was still filled with a mixture of tension and excitement.
Everyone began to calculate the crystal cores, and then came the ranking session. Everything was fine before, but when it was Chu Lingxiao's turn, doubts arose.
Su Ming stood aside, his mind racing.
His gaze subconsciously turned to Gu Qingze who was not far away. He saw Gu Qingze looking at Chu Lingxiao with a worried look on his face, and the concern in his eyes was not concealed at all.
Su Ming's mind moved. He knew very well that Gu Qingze held an important position in the Gu family, and Gu Qingze valued Chu Lingxiao very much.
If Chu Lingxiao is helped at this time, it will undoubtedly be a great opportunity to build closer relations with the Gu family.
Helping Chu Lingxiao is equivalent to helping Gu Qingze. As long as he helps, it will definitely increase Gu Qingze's favorability towards him.
Su Ming opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak out in support of Chu Lingxiao, but at this moment, a voice sounded first.
He turned around and saw that it was Zhou Yue.
Zhou Yue had a determined look on his face as he loudly defended Chu Lingxiao. There was no hesitation or retreat in his eyes.
Su Ming looked at Zhou Yue and felt a little relieved. He knew how to fight for his own interests without him reminding him.
But he soon realized that Zhou Yue might not have thought about so many complicated interests.
Zhou Yue simply regarded Chu Lingxiao as a friend, and when he saw his friend being questioned, he stood up to support him without hesitation.
Su Ming looked at Zhou Yue's sincere expression and couldn't help but be moved.
He thought that Zhou Yue seemed to really like Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao, and valued their friendship more than interests.
In that case, Su Ming's mouth corners slightly raised, and he couldn't help but smile.
Since Zhou Yue treats people so sincerely, I should stop thinking about benefits and try to help Chu Lingxiao and Gu Qingze with some real feelings.
...........
When the first trial was declared over, the entire venue was still filled with the afterglow of the tension and the hustle and bustle of the dust that had not yet settled.
Su Ming nudged Zhou Yue beside him with his elbow, and then the two of them walked towards the direction of Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao in tacit understanding.
They came to Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao, started to chat with them, congratulated them on their good results, and started to chat.
