Xu Yuehuai was unaware that she had caused another farce. She was shopping with Qi Guze and Shangguan Xi. Qi Guze vaguely sensed someone following them, but the person behind them didn't seem to intend to make a move. When they reached a small alley, he put Xu Yuehuai behind him, then used his spiritual power, and a person suddenly appeared from the air.
A person suddenly appeared in a place that was originally deserted. Shangguan Xi was not informed in advance, which startled the person. The person hid behind Xu Yuehuai for protection, with a cautious and hesitant look on their face. Their timid and submissive appearance was just like that of a soft and cute girl.
Xu Yuehua glanced behind her, too lazy to even remove her disguise as Shangguan Xi. She had seen Shangguan Xi fight before; her moves were incredibly fast and precise, without the slightest hesitation, and she was very decisive, captivating at first glance. She was the one who was captivated.
Qi Guze stared coldly at the man who appeared before him, his tone indifferent, "Who are you?"
The man was lying face down on the ground, making him impossible to see. Slowly, as Qi Guze spoke, he got up from the ground, looked at the people in front of him, and chuckled, "I'm sorry, I meant no harm. I just wanted to see how you were doing, to see if you were doing well without my interference."
Xu Yuehuai's pupils contracted; the man in front of her was none other than Yu Ze!
Yu Ze, who hadn't appeared for a long time, showed up here. His face looked very pale, and he had a more scholarly air about him than before. He also had a more composed demeanor. When he looked at the world, the emotions in his eyes were something Xu Yuehuai had never seen before. It was an indifferent attitude.
What happened to make someone who was always competitive become so indifferent?
There was no one around, and although their commotion was quite loud, no one noticed. After Yu Ze finished speaking, he lowered his head like a child waiting to be punished. Xu Yuehuai pursed her lips and said, "Where is the Second Elder? Why are you here? Shouldn't you be on Elder Peak?"
Xu Yuehuai's questions came one after another, which made Yu Ze, who was standing there, pause for a moment. His hands, hanging at his sides, clenched and relaxed repeatedly, as if he were going through some difficult days.
Xu Yuehuai noticed that his current posture was very strange. One leg was limping, and the other leg was trembling, as if he was about to fall to the ground at any moment. It was possible that Qi Guze had used too much force earlier, causing him to get injured, but Xu Yuehuai was more inclined to believe that this was the result of his tendons being severed earlier.
"I...I..." Yu Ze stammered, his eyes darting around, unable to answer the question at all.
At this moment, Shangguan Xi also stepped out from behind Xu Yuehuai, his hands clasped in his pockets, looking at the man in front of him without a trace of pity in his eyes. He believed that Xu Yuehuai's current predicament was entirely his own fault and had nothing to do with anyone else.
Yu Ze himself was well aware of this. He had wronged everyone, but he had never wronged the Second Elder.
Yu Ze stammered for a long time without being able to utter a single word. Xu Yuehuai realized that he probably had some unspeakable secret. She didn't pursue it further, but looked at Qi Guze, whose expression wasn't good, and tugged at the man's arm, saying, "Alright, let's go."
Xu Yuehuai didn't have the habit of wasting a lot of time on people she didn't know well, so when she realized that Yu Ze was just bored and wanted to come and see how she was doing, she couldn't stop him. After all, the road was right there, and it was his freedom to choose which way to go. She couldn't control him and didn't intend to.
The group turned and left, leaving Yu Ze standing alone. He watched the others leave and reached out his hand to try and stop them, but none of them showed any intention of turning back.
He disappeared from Yu Ze's sight in a moment. He felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body, and he slumped down against the wall. It seemed that his life had been a complete failure.
He slowly closed his eyes. This road was very remote, and no one would walk by unless they specifically passed through it. So for a long time, no one noticed him sitting on the ground, looking completely unkempt.
As the three of them walked, Shangguan Xi clearly sensed that the atmosphere among them had changed. She awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth, then glanced at the two of them and said with a laugh, "I suddenly remembered that I still have something to buy. You guys go ahead, I'll be there in a bit."
As he spoke, Shangguan Xi waved his hand, signaling them to leave first.
Xu Yuehuai had no doubt about this and nodded to Shangguan Xi, "Alright, be careful on your own."
Shangguan Xi nodded vigorously, his eyes fixed on Xu Yuehuai, telling her to hurry up and leave.
After they parted ways, Shangguan Xi disappeared very quickly, vanishing in an instant with terrifying speed. Xu Yuehuai was still wondering what important matter she could have.
According to today's itinerary, they should go to a restaurant for dinner after they come down. Fortunately, it's not too late to eat there at this time. The two walked towards the restaurant. Just as Xu Yuehuai was about to choose between the main hall and a private room, a voice interrupted from the side, "Private room."
Xiao Er's gaze shifted from Xu Yuehuai to Qi Guze beside him. The man exuded a cold aura, and his eyes conveyed a sense of unapproachability.
Xiao Er was startled by that look, and after hearing what was said, he looked at Xu Yuehuai uncertainly.
Xu Yuehua nodded. She had originally planned to choose a private room, as the view from the private room was much better.
The waiter led the two upstairs, where the scenery was still picturesque. Xu Yuehuai leaned against the window, a relaxed expression on her face, looking quite content.
Qi Guze followed her into the room, and as soon as he entered, he saw the woman and the picturesque scenery, and his heart skipped a beat.
He pretended to be nonchalant, walked over and sat down next to Xu Yuehuai, his hand wandering to the woman's waist, a small, firm grasp, feeling the full strength in her abdomen.
Xu Yuehuai had been training these past few days and was quite fit. She glanced back at Qi Guze's mischievous hand, slapped it away from her waist, and then warned, "We're outside. Don't try this on me, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Qi Guze looked at Xu Yuehuai with a hint of grievance in his handsome dark eyes, as if he had been greatly bullied. Xu Yuehuai was helpless against his attitude, suppressing her temper and the urge to curse, "What exactly do you want? Just tell me, okay?"
