After Yan Huailiu left, Gu Xingyun was absent-minded the whole time.
Baili Changhuan called him several times before he responded: "Little Uncle, Master said you should go back and rest."
"Where are the others?" Baili Changhuan asked fiercely.
"Master is tired, I'll go back first." After saying this, Gu Xingyun looked into Baili Changhuan's eyes and added, "If Junior Master has anything to say, can we talk about it tomorrow?"
"I don't need you to teach me! You're such a jerk!" Baili Changhuan glared at him, and even though he was about to take a step forward, he gave up. "I'll just sit there. Come to me if you need anything."
"Yes, thank you, Junior Master." Gu Xingyun replied seriously.
Baili Changhuan felt like he had punched cotton, feeling extremely frustrated. When passing by Yuehua Pavilion, he couldn't help but pull Fei Miao away again.
Only Fei Miao can accompany him to talk about these trivial things!
He must find someone to talk to!
Faced with the ambiguous looks from her fellow junior sisters, Fei Miao rolled her eyes helplessly and returned to her original seat to listen to Baili Changhuan's nonsense.
I'm so tired. Can the Yuxu Sect still find a more mature man?
Almost all the disciples of Yuxu Sect were busy preparing for the banquet, either waiting in the main hall or in other places.
Therefore, Yan Huailiu didn't meet many people along the way.
His mind was completely empty and he walked towards Canghai Pavilion based on his feeling.
A dark shadow circled in the air for a long time and then landed on his shoulder.
Yan Huailiu's expression became clearer and he began to relax.
Without even turning around, he pulled out a few snacks from his sleeve and said, "I've saved some food for you this year too. Here, here you go."
Tutu carefully picked up the snacks from his hand, swallowed them in one gulp, and for the first time ever, rubbed his face with his head.
"I know, thank you." Yan Huailiu said, then reached out and let Tutu fly into his arms, stroking the small fur on its head: "Can you talk to me for a while?"
Tutu didn't fly away immediately, which was considered as his agreement.
A new barrier was set up outside Canghai Pavilion, which was very solid. Lu Jiu, who was guarding the place, was called by his fellow disciples to help.
Yan Huailiu landed in the secret room with ease, walked along the bookshelf, and put the scriptures that he had forgotten to take out last time into the bag.
"This is for Master Chen Wu. Remember to remind me to bring it with me when you go out."
Tutu likes this place very much. After all, there is a place to stay everywhere.
It even considerately used its paws to help Yan Huailiu carry the bag.
The eternal lamp in the secret room was still on. Yan Huailiu picked up the animal skin on the armrest, carried it to the pool, and found a relatively clean place to spread the mat.
Then he took off his shoes and socks and put his feet in the pool in a daze.
He still hasn't found the source of the water. The water temperature here is relatively low, which is just enough to relieve the heat in this hot weather.
Tutu landed beside him, leaning his body against Yan Huailiu, not looking like a bird of prey at all.
Yan Huailiu hugged him and stared at the tree in the middle of the pond in a daze.
"Bald, have I ever told you that I really like it here?"
"I thought I wouldn't adapt, I'd feel uncomfortable, and I'd be scared forever before I left, but no, I adapted so quickly."
"The air here is so fresh, and the people are so nice. I always thought they were just NPCs designed to be soulless, without flesh and blood, but no, they're just like us."
"They are all the same. They can get hurt, feel happy and sad. They are flesh and blood, have their own thoughts, their own unique souls, and even have richer emotions than me."
“We just live in a different world.”
Baldy tilted his head to look at him, not sure whether he should give him wings to prevent him from collapsing like before.
But Yan Huailiu remained very calm throughout the whole process, and his hands holding himself did not even tremble at all.
"They've been so good to me. It's like... they've made up for everything I've been missing for over twenty years. This isn't what they should be doing."
"I thought I was a person without desires, but I didn't expect I could be so greedy."
The bracelets on the feet collided with each other, making crisp sounds.
Yan Huailiu raised his feet slightly, bent his knees and held the bracelet.
He rubbed his hand around the bracelet and stopped when it touched one side of the inner wall.
There are words.
He squinted his eyes to make out what was engraved inside, and when he finally saw it clearly, he sighed heavily.
He always thought that with Gu Xingyun's stubborn personality, he would engrave words of love like "stay together forever" on the bracelet, but he didn't expect that this person only engraved four words.
[Safety]
[Joy]
He had been tortured by his original body for so many years, and had been deliberately ignored by him for so long.
Giving him a gift that overflows with possessiveness, but all I want is for him to be safe and happy.
Yan Huailiu put his feet down, feeling extremely sad, and hugged Tutu tightly.
"What should I do? I can't be angry at all. I really like him."
"I'm not good at all. I don't have any good qualities to begin with, and now I have this bad habit of being selfish and greedy..."
Yan Huailiu was angry about Gu Xingyun's plan, but he also felt a little relieved.
If it weren't for his decision to leave no way out, I would never be able to move forward in my life.
Gu Xingyun blocked his retreat, then stood in front of him with a heavy heart, waiting for him to pass.
There is no logic at all.
How could there be such a person?
Yan Huailiu separated a strand of spiritual power, picked a fruit growing on the big tree in the center of the pond and handed it to Tutu's mouth.
"Bald, can I like him? Just be selfish this once..."
"He...Gu Xingyun is really good. He was the first one to cook for me, stayed by my side when I was broken, and protected me when I was in danger."
"He's still the only one who will tell me he likes me no matter how many times I say no."
"Only when I face him will I not be afraid and not lose control."
"Look, I haven't collapsed yet. I'm still stable without taking any medicine or talking to a doctor."
Yan Huailiu clutched his clothes tightly, looking like he was about to cry.
"Sometimes I feel like he's my tranquilizer. Baldy, how can I like him?"
"I know this love may not belong to me completely, but I still want it."
"If he doesn't like me anymore, I definitely won't bother him. I just... I just want to keep a memory of him."
"I don't know how to like someone, but I will learn slowly. Can I like Gu Xingyun?"
Tutu stopped eating, wiped the tears from his face with his wings in a rare and gentle manner, and nodded to Yan Huailiu.
Yan Huailiu closed his eyes, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and patted his bald head: "Thank you, just this once, just this once in my life."
He raised his hand and wiped his face, then slowly put on his shoes and socks, picked up Tutu and said, "Let's go back."
