Lu Xingchen looked at him in surprise: "You...really willing to go with me?"
Although He Lanzhi hesitated, she mustered up the courage under Gu Qingze's encouraging eyes: "Of course I want to go with Xingxing."
However, his courage was ultimately insufficient. He lowered his head mid-sentence, his voice growing weaker and weaker, "But...if Xingxing doesn't want to, then I..."
Lu Xingchen looked at him like this and touched his head helplessly: "If you are willing to accompany me, I will naturally be happy."
"But... why are you so timid now? You teased me before, so shamelessly, and even when I scolded you, you remained the same. Was it all a pretense?"
He Lanzhi bit her lower lip and spoke slowly after a moment: "If I...if I say that there is some sincerity in this, Xingxing...will you believe it?"
Lu Xingchen smiled, but didn't answer directly. He just patted his shoulder again and said, "Then let's get ready tonight and leave early tomorrow morning."
Then, he looked at Gu Qingze: "Junior Brother Gu, goodbye. I wish you smooth cultivation and a breakthrough soon."
Gu Qingze nodded and said, "I wish you all a pleasant journey and safe travels."
Lu Xingchen also nodded, stood up, and left without waiting for He Lanzhi.
He Lanzhi looked at his back, her heart filled with indescribable joy and anticipation.
He looked at Gu Qingze with gratitude, then caught up with Lu Xingchen, walked side by side with him, and went back together.
..............
Before the sky turned pale, Lu Xingchen and He Lanzhi had already embarked on their farewell journey.
Gu Qingze said goodbye to them again and watched them walk further and further away until they completely disappeared from his sight...
Just as he was about to turn around and go back, he caught a glimpse of a familiar-looking man walking towards him.
Before he could carefully identify it, the man grabbed his collar as if he was grabbing a chicken. Gu Qingze felt his body lighten and he was already flying into the air.
This method...why does it feel so familiar...
He suddenly remembered that his master always carried him like this...
Could it be that the master took the beauty pill and transformed into a man?
"Hey, my friend, why are you so silent and not even struggling? Are you scared silly by my sudden action?"
The man smiled and spoke with a hint of joking in his tone.
Gu Qingze was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer. He simply skipped the question and asked, "Um... have we ever met before?"
Murong Jin smiled when he heard this: "My friend, your memory is really bad. Although we only met once, I have remembered you firmly in my heart."
"My name is Murong Jin... How about it, have you remembered anything?" There was some anticipation in his words.
Gu Qingze nodded, and suddenly realized, "You are the one who asked Ling Xiao and me to pass on a mysterious item to Master last time, and you are also the only demon cultivator in Qingyun Sect."
"I'm glad you remembered it." Murong Jin curled his lips and chuckled, a cunning light flashing in his eyes. "If you can't remember my name after I tell you, I'll be sad."
Gu Qingze complained in his heart: You and I are not familiar with each other, and besides... I don’t see that you look sad at all.
However, his expression remained calm, and he asked as if humbly asking for advice, "Then, Senior Murong, where are you taking me?"
Murong Jin didn't answer his question directly, but just smiled mysteriously: "Then don't worry about it. Anyway, your master has agreed to let me borrow you, so from now on, just follow me."
Borrow? Gu Qingze was speechless. Why did he feel like he was being treated as an object? Why didn't he ask him if he agreed?
Of course, he only dared to keep these words in his heart, but he looked like he had no objection.
After all, Murong Jin is a demon cultivator, and his cultivation is unfathomable. It is best not to disobey him easily, so as not to make him unhappy.
After a long while, Gu Qingze finally couldn't help himself and carefully put forward his opinion:
"Senior Murong, I'm really uncomfortable being carried like this by you. Could you please let me change my position..."
"Or you could let me fly with you on my sword. That might make things more comfortable."
There was a hint of pleading in his words, and a hint of discomfort in his eyes.
However, Murong Jin seemed not to hear it and did not react at all.
Seeing this, Gu Qingze added, "I promise I won't run away while you're not paying attention. I just want to find a more comfortable position."
Murong Jin heard this, as if he had heard a very interesting joke, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"Escape? Haha, don't worry, with your ability, as long as I don't intentionally let you go, you don't have the ability to escape from me."
There was a hint of intimidation in his words, as if he was reminding Gu Qingze not to act rashly.
However, Gu Qingze didn't care about this and simply replied, "I know exactly how strong I am, so... Senior Murong, could you agree to my small request? I just want to change to a more comfortable position."
There was a hint of sincerity in his tone and a hint of expectation in his eyes. Murong Jin was very satisfied with his reaction and finally let him go.
Gu Qingze quickly summoned his sword and flew behind Murong Jin.
