"So that's how it is. It seems I really haven't considered it carefully enough."
Song Jinnian looked a little embarrassed.
"After all, whether it's the demons or the humans, all the demons and humans I've come into contact with have been extremely friendly to me... Perhaps because of this, I easily assume everyone is kind."
"I never thought that the chief courtesan would lie to me... I'm not used to that, so it's normal. Luckily, Qingze-nii helped me out."
The smile on Song Jinnian's face grew brighter, and then he "accused" angrily.
"Brother Qingze, why didn't you say that earlier? I've been worrying about you for so long. I thought you were just being overly compassionate and focusing on things that have nothing to do with us."
"As expected of Qingze brother! You immediately figured out the loopholes in my previous plan. If there's anything I can help with in the future, I will fully cooperate and will definitely not ask any more questions."
"Brother Qingze has more experience than me. Even if he did something I couldn't understand in a short period of time, there must be a reason. I won't waste time asking questions and disturbing Brother Qingze's train of thought."
Song Jinnian looked at him with admiration, held his hand tightly, and promised with great determination.
After hearing this, Gu Qingze did not feel happy about being praised.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but when he heard Song Jinnian's words of praise, it seemed that there was another deeper meaning.
It doesn't sound like pure praise, but rather has some... sarcastic undertones in it, a bit like... "overpraising"?
"But...Brother Qingze, you just said that even if you knew their situation, you would never interfere."
"Oh, by the way, this does not include the special case of the current chief courtesan. After all, you want to use this as a bargaining chip to trade with her. Am I right, Qingze brother?"
Gu Qingze didn't know why, but he always felt that there was an inexplicable sense of weirdness when Song Jinnian said this.
"...That's true, but..."
Before Gu Qingze could finish his words, Song Jinnian's face suddenly moved closer and stared into his eyes.
"Brother Qingze, you must remember what you said and never regret it. Can you promise Nian Nian that you can definitely do it?"
The discomfort in Gu Qingze's heart became more and more intense, but he felt that Song Jinnian had hooked his little finger and stamped it forcibly, so he didn't say anything else.
Even if he is truly overflowing with compassion, he must have the ability to match it... Although he is not short of money, he is not as "holy father" as he is and can be so selfless.
So, agreeing to Song Jinnian's request... shouldn't be a big problem.
"Brother Qingze, do you have anything else to say?"
Seeing that he agreed to this, Song Jinnian seemed to suddenly relax and asked.
"Not yet, but...Brother Jinnian, can you really find out about this?"
Gu Qingze was a little skeptical. Wasn't it said that the chief courtesan was the signature of the brothel and extremely mysterious?
"Of course, there's no problem. If it's the current chief courtesan, it's indeed more difficult to investigate, but the former chief courtesans are already old and useless, so it's naturally not difficult to investigate."
Song Jinnian nodded. "You have to believe in the strength of my family. My family once produced a demon king. Although it declined later and turned to business, it still has certain relationships with other families in the demon world."
When Gu Qingze heard his comments like this, and in such a cheerful tone, the discomfort in his heart became even stronger.
In order to ease his discomfort, he was about to change the subject, but Song Jinnian took the lead.
"Speaking of which, Brother Qingze, there's only one bed here. How did you two rest the last time Brother Lingxiao came?"
After hearing this, Gu Qingze became a little nervous. Before he could say anything, Song Jinnian began to speculate.
"Sleeping in the same bed or on the floor?"
"Forget it, these are not important. Brother Qingze, can I sleep in the same bed with you? If I sleep on the floor, it's too hard. I'm worried that I won't be able to rest well. After all, I'm still a child, so... please."
"........Ahem, Brother Jinnian, look at this precious time. How can we waste it on something as time-consuming as sleeping? Let's take this opportunity to practice all night. This will also serve as a rest."
Gu Qingze was silent for a while and said so.
"Ah? So... when Brother Lingxiao came yesterday, he didn't sleep either, but practiced with Brother Qingze all night?"
"That's right. Ling Xiao and I don't want to waste even a moment of our precious cultivation time. As the saying goes, time is like water in a sponge. If you squeeze it, there will always be more. We must make rational use of fragmented time. Only in this way can we achieve success on our cultivation path."
Gu Qingze nodded firmly and casually offered some inspirational words.
Strictly speaking, he didn't lie to Song Jinnian. He and Ling Xiao did practice together last night. After all, "dual cultivation" is also cultivation.
"Brother Qingze and Brother Lingxiao are so hardworking! They really deserve to be admitted to the Qingyun Sect. I want to practice tonight too!"
Song Jinnian seemed to be encouraged and immediately sat cross-legged on the bed and began to use his magic power.
Gu Qingze looked at him like this and shook his head.
Adhering to the principle of doing the whole act, I also started practicing.
