Thinking of this, Gu Mingxue couldn't help but feel warm in her eyes.
When Shen Qing saw this, he quickly grabbed her hand.
"Senior Sister, don't worry. I will definitely ask Senior Brother Mingchu about his reasons and explain the dangers and pros and cons to him."
Gu Mingxue sniffed hard and leaned lightly on Shen Qingyi's shoulder.
Now Chu Yuliang doesn't listen to her, but he has always loved his junior sister. Gu Mingxue hopes that he can listen to her for Shen Qingyi's sake.
"Thank you, Junior Sister."
In the evening, Chu Yuliang had just come out of the alchemy room when he received a sound transmission note from his junior sister. Fearing that Shen Qingyi was in trouble, he hurried over.
After hearing the source of the matter, he remained silent.
The two of them sat at the table. After a while, Chu Yuliang finally spoke.
"Junior Sister, I know what you mean. I also understand that this trip to the Fallen Angel Realm is fraught with danger, but I have my own reasons for going."
Chu Yuliang's eyes were firm. It could be said that he was clearly aware that he had never been so determined as at this moment.
"Then...can I ask why?"
Chu Yuliang opened his mouth, met Shen Qingyi's gaze, and then sighed.
"Okay, but I hope you won't tell anyone about this. I'm begging you to do that."
Under Chu Yuliang's insistent gaze, Shen Qingyi still nodded.
"If I don't go on this trip, I might be safer, but I will also lose the most important thing to me."
Shen Qingyi's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"I guess it was Senior Sister who told you that?"
Thinking of Gu Mingxue, a hint of tenderness flashed in Chu Yuliang's eyes, mixed with a bit of bitterness.
"Then do you know that the Gu family has already started choosing a Taoist partner for her?"
Shen Qing was slightly surprised when he heard this.
"Over the years, the Lingdao Sect has grown steadily, and its affiliated factions have followed suit. Among them, the Lu and Gu families are considered the fastest-growing. Some of the Gu family's businesses have expanded to other continents, even to some mid-level continents. As you know, sects and families often resort to marriage alliances to achieve growth. And Senior Sister, she's the eldest daughter of the Gu family... I've heard that some aristocratic families from other continents are planning to cooperate with the Gu family..."
After hearing this, Shen Qingyi still had something to understand.
"I once thought that as long as I worked hard enough, as long as I had incredible talent and the skills to refine pills, once I became famous throughout Yunze Continent and had enough ability, I could stand before her openly and honestly, and tell the world, the Gu family, and her that I wanted to be her partner, as long as she was willing..."
"But now... I know that Yunze Continent and the Gu family are moving in a better direction. This is a good thing..."
However, the higher they progress, the greater the temptations and pressures they face.
He was really afraid that one day he would not be able to hold on.
"Originally, I could have continued to work hard, becoming stronger, waiting for her to know, waiting for the Gu family to hand her over to me... But I can't wait any longer! Little Junior Sister, I must go! If the title of elite disciple of the Lingdao Sect of Yunze Continent, the alchemy genius of Yunze Continent, can't impress the entire Gu family, then I'll go and fight for it! There are countless opportunities in the Fallen God Realm. Not only the Gu family, but so many sects and families are waiting for them. If I... If I can make a name for myself there and get some opportunities by luck, when I come back... I can continue to stand by her side! No one in the world can point fingers at her anymore!"
"Then...does Senior Sister know?"
Chu Yuliang shook his head.
"I've never told her my feelings. I don't want to put pressure on her. I want to wait until she starts to fall in love, and then I'll be by her side. I also believe in my own efforts. Apart from me, no one else can catch her eye. Of course, if there really is someone who is outstanding enough to make her heart flutter, and who treats her... better than me, I'm also... willing to let go and wish her happiness."
"But, if you go in and get into danger... Senior Sister..."
"Qingyi."
Chu Yuliang sighed and touched Shen Qingyi's head helplessly.
"She and I want to be together, and we're destined to face hardships. She's different from me. She's the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Everyone in the Gu family has doted on her and loved her since she was little... so she can't leave them. She has her responsibilities. I don't want to be the one who coerces her. What she wants is a love blessed by the family, the sect, and the world... and I'm willing to fight for it, even if it means sacrificing my life!"
To say I wasn't shocked would be a lie.
Chu Yuliang's love for Gu Mingxue is cautious yet extremely passionate.
He was willing to stay by her side, spend the ordinary years with her, and was also willing to fight for her.
Shen Qing opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say anything else.
"Qingyi, I don't know if you can understand what Senior Brother means. There are countless kinds of love in the world, and Senior Brother doesn't know what other people are like, but Senior Brother knows what he wants."
From the first sight, the girl smiled sweetly, and after a glance, I could never forget her.
He originally thought it was the ignorance of his youth, but as time passed, some things settled down and some things surfaced, and he understood that some emotions had taken root and sprouted without him realizing it, and now have become towering trees.
If you want to pull it out, you will take his life.
"It's just that Qingyi, Senior Brother doesn't want you to tell her about these things. Senior Brother hopes that if Senior Brother can return alive from this trip to the Fallen Angel Realm, then Senior Brother will stand in front of her openly and honestly and tell her my feelings!"
He has been fond of her since many years ago!
After Chu Yuliang left, Shen Qingyi was silent for a long time. She didn't know how to tell Gu Mingxue about this matter.
However, before she could tell Gu Mingxue, Gu Mingxue was recalled by the Gu family.
The next news we got was that Gu Mingxue was in seclusion at the Gu family and would not leave.
Shen Qingyi was afraid that something might happen to her and wanted to look for her, but was stopped by Lu Jingqing.
"Don't go."
"Senior Brother?"
"It was Second Brother who made a deal with the Gu family."
"trade?"
"Second Senior Brother asked the Gu family to let Senior Sister go for fifty years. In exchange, he used all his wealth... and his life."
He knew what this meant, and the Gu family knew it too.
There is no harm to the Gu family.
Gu Mingxue was originally the favored eldest daughter of the Gu family. In the past fifty years, even if other forces wanted to form an alliance through marriage, they would have been able to squeeze in.
If Chu Yuliang fails, they will not lose anything. If Chu Yuliang succeeds, they will be the ones who benefit!
Returning to his cave, Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
What is love?
Let us be together for life and death!
