Having said that, Xunfeng and Qiuniao naturally didn't linger any longer, but Xunfeng still couldn't help but say, "Chang Le, there will definitely be many people who will make trouble for you because of this. You know whether you can say certain things or not."
"Hey, old dog, when did you become so long-winded?" Kulei rolled up his sleeves, ready to rush over. "Are you going through menopause?"
“Kurai Merkelins.” The elegant girl beside him spoke softly. Kurei grinned, rolled down his sleeves, and showed his teeth to the two of them.
The elegant young woman smiled at the two of them. Although she had the typical European features of blonde hair and blue eyes, she spoke fluent Mandarin Chinese.
"Please don't take offense, both of you. Kulei is just protective of his own people and can't stand seeing his own people being wronged. You two are also very genuine people, so you should be able to understand, right?"
With a subtle but sharp edge, she once again criticized Xunfeng and his companion.
Xunfeng and Qiuniao looked at Chang Le and Bai Xie apologetically before turning and leaving.
Bai Xie turned to Chang Le and said, "Lele, there will be more people like this later. They don't say anything new, so don't waste your time arguing with them."
Chang Le nodded: "Then I'll have someone stop them."
The performer glanced at the girl beside Kulai, then at Chang Le, and said with a smile, "Alright, shall we go inside and talk?"
When they arrived at Goubuli's living room, Kulai pulled the girl to sit opposite Chang Le. Chang Le looked at her, and the girl smiled kindly.
Bai Xie volunteered, "Alright, Hei Zi, introduce yourself to us."
"Tsk," Kulei glared at him, "Black my foot! Don't call me by my nickname anymore!"
Then he turned around, smiled, and put his arm around the girl: "Wife, why don't you introduce yourself to them?"
The girl nodded to the group and then said, "I am Melantha Sharion, and I am Kurei's girlfriend. I've always heard Kurei mention you all, and today I finally have the honor of meeting her 'family'."
The atmosphere immediately eased, and everyone laughed. Chang Le also smiled, looking at Kulei with satisfaction.
She noticed Melantha's surname and asked, "Are you a descendant of the Duchess of Sword Castle?"
Kulei proudly laughed, "Sasha is the current master of Sword Castle!"
"Wow," Bai Xie scoffed, "You're amazing, you've even managed to get on someone's good side."
Kulei stopped laughing immediately: "What do you mean by 'climbing up'? Old Bai, can't you speak properly?"
Chang Le added casually, "It's called hitting the jackpot."
Kulei pouted, "Lele! Why are you bullying me too?"
Chang Le asked in surprise, "How did you come to this conclusion?"
Kulei opened her mouth wide and pretended to cry as she collapsed onto Melantha: "Waaah~ Lele, you've gone bad! You're bullying me too!"
Melantha smiled and pushed her away, ignoring her resentment, and said to Chang Le, "Kurai came with me for two reasons. First, we have confirmed our relationship and must meet you all. Second, we have come with a mission and will be staying in the Central Plains for a while. I wonder if we can bother you for a few more days?"
Chang Le immediately replied, "Of course, just say whatever you need. If you encounter any obstacles, just tell me. Sister Kulei protected me before, and now, I will naturally protect her and her people as well."
Melanie smiled even more brightly, and solemnly said while holding Chang Le's hand, "Thank you, Lele."
Kulei looked at this person, then at that person, and then at the two people holding hands, suddenly feeling a bit superfluous. But when he turned his head to look at Bai Xie and the other two beside him, he felt that his light wasn't too dazzling.
The actor sighed helplessly, "How old are you?"
After arranging for Kulai and the other two to stay, Bai Xie and the other two also had to return to the north to attend to guild matters. The north was in dire need of reconstruction, and their guild was thriving and keeping them very busy.
Before leaving, Bai Xie didn't forget to tell Lele, "Let's get together again when we get back, okay?"
Chang Le paused for a moment, looked up and saw the worry in his eyes, then nodded.
Bai Xie glanced at Zi Guiti, nodded to him, patted Chang Le's head, waved his hand, and left with the musician Li Jie.
After being escorted down the mountain, Lingren's smile faded, and he frowned as he asked Bai Xie, "Didn't you come here because you were worried about Lele's condition? Why didn't you tell me?"
Bai Xie shook his head slightly: "Her condition is different this time. She's not just having trouble thinking things through or avoiding her inner demons, and she doesn't need our guidance. She's seen through everything too easily, and no matter how much we say, she'll just let it all slip away. What we can do is not to guide her, but to let her bear the burden, to let her feel both exhaustion and joy, and to let her have something to care about."
The performer lowered his eyes and sighed, "Her eyes are so empty, so empty that it frightens me, as if she no longer belongs to this world."
Li Jie was still confused: "I don't understand. She has already broken through to a realm that mortals cannot reach, transcending the mundane. Wouldn't it be better for her to leave this world? Why bring her back and trap her?"
“It’s not about pulling her back and trapping her,” the performer explained. “It’s about letting her leave in a safe and secure state.”
Haven't you noticed? She's like a wandering ghost now, without goals, without desires, without obsessions. What's the difference between her and a walking corpse?
In this state, even if you let her leave this world, she won't be able to freely roam other worlds. Instead, like a rootless duckweed, she'll drift in the starry sky, returning to a state of wandering and desolation, unable to avoid danger or suffering. How can anyone feel at ease in that situation?
Li Jie then realized the seriousness of the problem, but he still didn't understand: "Didn't Kelele always have such a strong drive? Obsessed to the point of madness, how come she suddenly became like this? Is it because of the breakthrough? Has her state of mind changed?"
Bai Xie hit the nail on the head: "Do you remember what Yin Tong said when he gave her the original core? Without our knowledge, she may have already fulfilled her obsession and lost her direction and reason for moving forward."
