Chapter 178: Destiny 24 I don’t think I can believe what you said…
Li Yanze quickly calmed down, put down the copper coin that was broken into two pieces in his palm, lowered his eyes and thought for a while.
It turns out that the destined person is himself.
Li Yanze was not surprised, he just felt that it was so. The blurry fragments that appeared from time to time turned out to be related to the person in front of him. It turned out that the person he was trying his best to find was himself.
But so what.
Li Yanze smiled, looked into Qi Youwei's eyes and said slowly: "You two are already on the same earth, why not let go."
Qi Youwei didn't show any hurt or disappointment. He just listened to him and asked again, "But I still owe him a lot. There are still misunderstandings between us that have not been cleared up."
Li Yanze casually put the two halves of the copper coin aside, took out his money bag and took the copper coins, and answered him nonchalantly: "He doesn't ask you to return it, which means that it doesn't matter anymore."
Li Yanze returned the gold ingot to him and tied the purse around his waist: "If this deal is not done, then I don't want the reward."
Qi Youwei said nothing, put away the gold that he returned, and waited quietly there, watching him, which made Li Yanze feel uneasy.
"Should we give up this time?"
Gu Fengze walked slowly. Although he was on the street, no one looked at him, but they made way for him spontaneously. Qi Youwei withdrew his gaze slightly, lowered his eyes slightly to look at the copper coin that was broken into two pieces, and held them in his palm with great care.
"Why should I give up? As long as he's alive, I can do anything. He can do anything to me."
Gu Fengze laughed twice, as if he had heard something very funny. "Then you come up to me like a dog and I can't drive you away."
"Didn't he tell you to let go? Are you letting go now?"
Gu Fengze's tone was not a question. He had integrated so many fragments, and he had a vague sense of his thoughts.
On the day of going to the yamen, Gu Fengze deliberately avoided it. He didn't expect Qi Youwei to recognize Li Yanze at a glance.
The moment Qi Youwei confirmed it, Gu Fengze knew it, and it was no surprise that he found the talisman on Li Yanze.
Gu Fengze easily got the truth out of Li Yanze, and showed Qi Youwei the situation he least wanted to see.
But Qi Youwei’s blackening value is still just a little short of that.
Even the plot of the small world has been completed, but this last point cannot be obtained. Gu Fengze had to admit that sometimes he did not fully understand himself.
Why is Qi Youwei not giving up?
"The Imperial Master has told you a lot, about his identity and his golden elixir."
Qi Youwei had already turned around to leave, but he stopped and turned to look at him: "I may know more than you think."
"Then you should understand that even if you forcibly peel off the golden elixir and return it to Yan Ze, it will only be a beautiful bead to him and will be of no use to him."
Qi Youwei listened patiently and turned away. Gu Fengze frowned as he looked at his back. Somehow, he always felt that this fragment had a strange attitude towards him.
Li Yanze held his purse and walked around Linjiang City twice before returning to the inn, but then he thought that if Qi Youwei wanted to know where he lived, it would be useless for him to do so.
As long as he doesn't return to Qingluan Mountain, the world belongs to Qi Youwei, and he can find it if he wants.
"Didn't I disguise myself? That doesn't make sense."
Li Yanze recalled the day when he saw the gray-haired Qi Youwei and felt a tremor in his heart. It seemed that Qi Youwei and he had a very unforgettable past.
It was already very late when Gu Fengze came back, and Li Yanze was still in a daze, constantly recalling the scenes that had appeared in his mind.
But those memories were like swimming fish; the more he tried to catch them, the further they flew away from him.
"What are you thinking about?"
Gu Fengze put his hand on his shoulder and asked him in a low voice. Li Yanze's expression was confused and anxious, which reminded him of many past events.
"I used to know Qi Youwei." Li Yanze removed the disguise on his face, and there was an indescribable puzzlement in his tone. "He went to such great lengths to find Qingluan Mountain, just to find me."
"Brother, I can't remember anything."
Gu Fengze reached out and embraced Li Yanze from behind, raised his hand and placed it on his forehead, gently pushing him to lean back.
"Didn't you say that since you've forgotten it, it's all in the past and no longer important? It doesn't matter if you can't remember it."
Li Yanze closed his eyes and sighed: "But..."
He didn't say it out loud. Today, Qi Youwei looked at him with a non-aggressive look, and there was even a sense of shaky fragility.
At that moment, Li Yanze suddenly wanted to know what had happened between them. Perhaps it could be called soft-heartedness, but the mixed emotions were so turbulent and complicated that Li Yanze himself did not understand.
Li Yanze had not saved enough money yet and did not want to set up a stall anymore, so he and Qi Zihong took on a few tasks and collected the rewards.
In the past, if Li Yanze said he didn’t want Gu Fengze to follow him, he would not follow him, but this time, Gu Fengze followed them the whole time with his hands behind his back.
"Where did he go?" Qi Zihong held his sword and took out a compass to check the direction.
Li Yanze also let out a sigh of relief. The thing knew it couldn't survive, so it fled for its life, and it ran very fast.
"South." Li Yanze calculated the direction, and they immediately chased after him.
"The Taoxi Mountain is in front of us." Qi Zihong smiled and said, "This thing won't run away at all. There is a large formation there."
"But if it encounters residents living near the mountains on the road, there is no guarantee that it will not do something."
Li Yanze was not so optimistic. He picked up his sword and accelerated to chase after him. The scenery on the road looked more and more familiar.
Bluestone steps, lush trees, dense shade, and even pink peach blossoms like clouds that can be seen from halfway up the mountain looking towards the village.
Li Yanze had no time to recall. He calculated and calculated the breath along the way and plunged into the jungle.
The woods were quiet and peaceful, and it was daytime again. Li Yanze followed it deeper into the forest without hesitation, but he saw a figure in purple standing quietly among the trees in front of him.
Qi Youwei stretched out his hand and mobilized his spiritual power to draw a talisman. A golden spiritual light lit up. Li Yanze's fingers went numb for a moment, and he sensed that the spiritual power was from the same lineage as his.
The evil spirit that had been fleeing for a long time shrank into a small ball, which he held firmly in his hand and burned completely.
"Why are you here?" Li Yanze, without any disguise and dressed in plain blue clothes, looked at him puzzledly.
"My home is right here." Qi You smiled and invited him again: "It's at the foot of the mountain. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Li Yanze should have refused, but he put away his sword and followed Qi Youwei down the mountain at a close distance.
"This is the back mountain of Taoxi. I am the only one who comes here occasionally on weekdays. Taoxi Village is at the foot of the mountain. There are not many people here, but the scenery in the village is very beautiful."
Li Yanze didn't know how to respond to him, because the familiar feeling along the way made him sure that he had lived here for a long time.
"At this hour, they are still working in the fields. We can pass by this way. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Qi Youwei turned his head and looked at him. It was obviously a difficult mountain road, but Qi Youwei seemed to be very familiar with it, as if he was walking on flat ground. He knew every flower and tree and every path here very well.
Li Yanze nodded involuntarily.
Qi Youwei smiled and said, "I knew you would want to see them again."
Li Yanze refuted him in an attempt to cover up his mistake: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Qi Youwei didn't respond, but suddenly stopped, walked to the side of the grass, picked up two foxtail grasses, and clumsily tried to tie them together while walking.
Li Yanze didn't think about it and subconsciously snatched it from his hand. He pried open his fingers and a foxtail rabbit appeared in his hand.
Li Yanze handed it to Qi Youwei, and when he looked up again, he saw that Qi Youwei's eyes were red. Li Yanze almost ran away and walked quickly in front of him.
Even without Qi Youwei leading the way, he knew how to go.
The crisscrossing paths allowed people to see farmers working in paddy fields from afar. As soon as Li Yanze turned his head, he saw an old farmer waving at him in surprise.
"He is Uncle Feng. He has sent us many medicinal herbs, vegetable seedlings, and chickens. You helped him do a lot of work during the spring ploughing last year."
Qi Youwei had quietly stuck to his back and was whispering to him at some point.
Uncle Feng was holding his hoe and said, "Mr. Li, you are back!"
Li Yanze smiled and waved to him, but his memory was still blank. Then came a group of children. Xiao He and Xiao Sui came over to greet him warmly when they saw him.
Li Yanze could only touch their heads blankly. When he was about to walk out of the village, he met a girl named Xing'er who waved to him generously.
Qi Youwei suddenly grabbed Li Yanze from behind and said, "You ate her steamed bun."
The tone was very strange. Li Yanze stopped and just waved and greeted her from a distance.
At the end of the path is a solitary thatched hut with a waist-high low fence. You can see thriving vegetable seedlings and fluffy chicks chirping in their coop.
"You don't remember every one of them, but even if it's a lie, you'd like to make them think you've never forgotten them."
Qi You pinched the grass stems slightly and spoke to Li Yanze in a low voice without any complaints.
"Are you willing to lie to me now?"
Li Yanze lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "What was our relationship in the past?"
Qi Youwei pressed his question tightly: "Will you believe me if I tell you?"
Li Yanze considered it seriously for a moment and shook his head.
"I don't think I can believe what you said."
The wind blew, the wind in Taoxi Village was always so gentle and warm, carrying the fragrance of flowers and leaves, but they stood in front of the cottage at a distance.
Qi Youwei walked over, held his cheek with his hand, lowered his head and looked into Li Yanze's familiar eyes and said, "You can push me away."
Qi You lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes under Li Yanze's always peaceful gaze, leaned over and gently kissed his lips, and then subconsciously his lips and tongue invaded, exchanging warm and moist breath.
Li Yanze didn't push him away, but he didn't respond either. He watched him let go of his hand and move back a little.
Li Yanze raised his hand and touched his lower lip, still with that thoughtful and reminiscent look on his face, without a trace of shyness or affection, only an almost cruel curiosity.
Qi Youwei looked at him and only at this moment did he feel that he had lost him.
Li Yanze looked at him: "So this is the relationship. Unbelievable."
