Qi Guze finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
He nodded and replied, "I understand."
The two groups didn't have time for much small talk before passing each other.
Zisangyi watched his retreating figure, shook her head, sighed, but a smile remained on her face.
At this moment, he was genuinely happy for Xu Yuehuai.
Old Su also glanced at the man with an extraordinary air about him and asked curiously, "Why have I never seen this kind of person in the sect before?"
The two helped the Second Elder walk into the sect while discussing things.
The Second Elder was fed another pill by Zisangyi on the way, and his condition was not too bad. However, seeing the two of them chatting so leisurely, he became anxious: "Can you two please take my life a little more seriously! You were just saying that you wanted me to live. If you chat for a few more minutes, my survival will be in doubt!"
The second elder's anxious shout brought the two of them back to their senses. After exchanging a glance, they both smiled.
But the two of them didn't talk much on the way back. They focused on taking him back to the mountain peak. After that, Zisang treated his injuries. The effects of the medicine were only temporary.
After a moment of reflection, the Second Elder couldn't help but think of Yu Ze again, his mind racing with conflicting thoughts.
...
Xu Yuehuai walked down the street. The difference between day and night on this street was so great that Xu Yuehuai couldn't find the correct entrance for a while. The light from burning candles illuminated the surrounding road, making everyone look pretty much the same.
At this crossroads, Xu Yuehuai looked at the roads leading in all directions, his expression becoming more serious than ever before.
When we walked that road during the day, Shangguan Xi led the way. She walked in the middle, and Qi Guze walked behind her. She doesn't remember anything!
Left with no other choice, Xu Yuehuai had already promised to do this, so she had to do it well. With this in mind, she began to wander through alleys and alleys.
As she was scratching her head, someone suddenly appeared behind her and patted her on the shoulder. Xu Yuehuai turned around and saw Qi Guze standing behind her, panting heavily. He looked scared, and the moment he saw Xu Yuehuai, all the muscles in his body relaxed.
She hugged Xu Yuehuai tightly. "Next time, could you tell me where you're going earlier? That way, I'll be worried for less time."
Knowing she was in the wrong, she didn't argue. Instead, she patted Qi Guze's back and comforted him, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. I just didn't have time. Besides, you've only been back for two days, and I haven't gotten used to your presence yet. It won't happen again next time."
What she didn't expect was that her unconscious words had once again stabbed Qi Guze. From being inseparable in the past to not being used to his presence, it was truly heartbreaking.
The two stood in the middle of the road, attracting envious glances from those around them. Of course, some people disliked them, but most were envious.
The two are a perfect match, both handsome and beautiful; their appearances suggest they were made for each other.
Finally, Xu Yuehuai couldn't stand being stared at like a monkey while standing there, so she pushed Qi Guze back and said, "Alright, stop being so lovey-dovey, there are so many people watching."
Her voice carried a hint of helplessness, and her resigned expression made Qi Guze chuckle. "Where are you going now?"
“The alley during the day, starting from where we met him, should be easier to find,” Xu Yuehuai replied without hesitation.
If she hadn't been unable to find the entrance, she wouldn't have been wandering around like a headless fly. With Qi Guze leading the way, the two of them walked very quickly, and in no time they arrived at the alley they had been in before.
Xu Yuehuai walked ahead, while Qi Guze glanced at her briefly from behind. Seeing that no one was looking in her direction again, it seemed as if they were waiting for Xu Yuehuai to make a decision.
Xu Yuehuai pursed her lips and glanced at the ground. There were no traces. She hadn't expected Yu Ze to still be here, but given his injured leg, she thought that even if he left, he would probably leave some trace. Clearly, she was disappointed.
Now, she stood there, unsure of where to go. Qi Guze stood at the entrance, while she walked in the opposite direction—the very path they had taken to exit.
The alley wasn't narrow, but when Xu Yuehuai was halfway through, she felt there was a strange smell in the air, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
She and Qi Guze left the place again. At the entrance was a wonton shop. The shopkeeper was an elderly man. Xu Yuehuai thought for a moment, walked over, and politely asked, "Grandpa, did you see a person with an injured foot come out of here today? The way he walked was a little different from others."
There weren't many people at the stall. Most of the customers had already gone home, and those still outside wouldn't choose to eat this kind of food. The shop owner glanced at Xu Yuehuai, a very pretty young girl with a gentle voice, without a trace of arrogance or disdain. The shop owner happily replied, "No, very few people come in through this road."
"I remember you. Did you walk this way during the day?" In the dim light, the shopkeeper couldn't see their faces clearly. After looking them over, he said something that surprised Xu Yuehuai. "The three of you are all so good-looking. When I was young, I also liked to look at beautiful people and things. The three of you, the girl is beautiful and the boy is handsome, I remembered you at a glance. Not long after you went in, I heard a lot of tinkling sounds coming from inside. I was worried that something had happened to you."
"But then customers came to the stall, so I couldn't take care of you. Later, I got old and couldn't remember, so I forgot about it. I only remembered it now when I saw you."
The old man's memory is quite good; seeing them reminds him of so much information, so what he says is unlikely to be wrong. This means that Yu Ze didn't leave through this route, which makes things much easier.
Xu Yuehua nodded and replied, "Thank you, Grandpa. Your news is very helpful to me."
She smiled, led Qi Guze back into the alley, and walked in the other direction.
Qi Guze didn't cause any trouble this time. He quietly followed Xu Yuehuai, perfectly doing what a little follower should do.
