"Ling Xiao, come with me to the night market tonight."
Gu Qingze just mentioned it casually like a daily check-in, he knew Chu Lingxiao would not agree.
"Okay, wait for me for a moment. I'll return the books I borrowed and then go with you."
"Since you're not going... Hey, you actually agreed!"
Gu Qingze was a little excited, and he was really excited from the bottom of his heart.
I didn’t expect the previous plan to be so effective. It seems I have to give those four classmates more bonuses.
"Are you surprised that I'll go?"
"No! Absolutely not! Then I'll go get ready first."
Chu Lingxiao looked at Gu Qingze's flustered look and a smile appeared on his face.
I just agreed to accompany him to the night market. If passersby who don't understand the situation saw it, they would think I gave him a precious gift.
…………
In addition to the immortal cultivation families, Qingyun City also houses some ordinary people who are unable to cultivate. This is the area under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect. In this turbulent era, as long as you pay protection fees, you can live a peaceful and happy life, which is already a great blessing.
There are many kinds of food in the night market, most of which sell snacks. Unfortunately, the cultivators have already started fasting and cannot eat any food, otherwise it will cause impurities in the body, which is not good for their cultivation.
He could only look at other things. Gu Qingze felt helpless. The aroma of delicious food was wafting everywhere, but he couldn't taste it. It was really a torture.
Not long after walking, Gu Qingze stopped in front of a small stall.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Lingxiao followed Gu Qingze's gaze and saw a necklace that was exquisitely crafted and contained a hint of spiritual power.
"Spiritual weapon?"
But it is also normal. There are also a small number of cultivators in the night market who sell the spiritual weapons they have refined or no longer need.
"Boss, I bought this spiritual weapon!"
After Gu Qingze thought the price was reasonable, he paid without hesitation.
As the Gu family is the largest dealer in spiritual weapons in the market, identifying the functions of spiritual weapons and judging their value are skills that every member of the Gu family must learn from a young age. Although Gu Qingze is not from this world, he knows most of it based on his memory.
This spiritual weapon has a defensive and protective function. Although it can only resist attacks below the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is sufficient for daily use.
"For you."
"Give it to me?"
Chu Lingxiao was somewhat incredulous.
He had just seen the entire transaction process in front of the stall. This necklace was not cheap.
Ever since he could no longer gather spiritual energy and practice, his monthly income was pitifully low. It would take him at least twenty years to be able to afford this necklace.
"This is too valuable. I can't accept it."
He didn't want to owe Gu Qingze too much. According to his own understanding, if someone gave him a gift, he should give him a gift of the same value in return.
Although Gu Qingze only had a spur-of-the-moment idea, he did have plans in this regard.
In school, they would not dare to bully Chu Lingxiao because they did not want to offend the Gu family, but when he returned to the Chu family, they were powerless to do anything.
He was able to protect him last time because he happened to be by his side, but it was impossible for him to arrive in time to protect him all the time.
Although he knew that Chu Lingxiao's life would not be in danger, he still wanted to provide him with some protection to prevent him from getting hurt less.
Gu Qingze felt a little distressed. If he had known earlier, he would not have been so impulsive.
He just bought it because he thought it was suitable, without considering the burden Chu Lingxiao had to bear. If he had known earlier, he would have bought it secretly and then lied to him that it was very cheap.
But he had already bought it, and as spiritual weapons were one of the three most profitable industries, anyone with common sense would know that they were not cheap. Chu Lingxiao was so smart that he would definitely not be able to hide it from him.
How can I get him to accept it? It's my first time giving a gift and I have to think so much about it. Wait, I got it!
"You don't understand. I'm making an investment that will never lose money. When you become successful in the future, you can give me something more valuable."
Chu Lingxiao felt a little uneasy when he heard this, and he asked tentatively.
"What if I still can't practice cultivation in the future and can only be an ordinary person for the rest of my life?"
How is that possible? You are the hero of this novel. Your current experiences are all preparations for your future counterattack and slap in the face.
This is what Gu Qingze thought, so he said this.
"Believe me, your current experience is only temporary. You will definitely be able to continue practicing. You will achieve greater success and have a brighter future!"
Perhaps it was because Gu Qingze's eyes were too sincere under the firelight, or perhaps it was because his words were too firm. Chu Lingxiao knew clearly that he was comforting him, and knew clearly that he was just looking for an excuse to accept the necklace, but he still couldn't help but believe it.
When he was unable to practice and was doubting himself, the words "Believe me..." were too pleasant to the ear and too important, as if they gave Chu Lingxiao a rock that could increase his confidence.
"You are the only one who chooses to believe me..." Chu Lingxiao was a little moved.
He did not choose to expose Gu Qingze's clumsy lies.
After adjusting her mood, she gave him a faint smile.
"Then I'll accept it. But I have to tell you beforehand..."
Before Chu Lingxiao could finish speaking, Gu Qingze gently put the necklace on him.
Too close!
It was so close that one could feel the warmth of Gu Qingze's exhaled breath falling on Chu Lingxiao's neck when he lowered his head.
Chu Lingxiao didn't know why, but his body seemed to be still and he didn't dare to move at all. His heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest.
He didn't know why, he just knew that he felt a little strange.
He quickly and awkwardly distanced himself from Gu Qingze.
Gu Qingze looked at the necklace on Chu Lingxiao's neck with satisfaction. The necklace had intricate yet orderly patterns. The most important thing was that in the middle was a pure black gem without a trace of impurities, just as pure and beautiful as Chu Lingxiao's eyes.
He would not tell him that he was attracted to the necklace not only because of its defensive and protective function, but more importantly because of the gem in the middle of the necklace that was as beautiful as his eyes.
