He was looking forward to meeting Xu Yuehuai, but he was also worried about meeting her. So from the first day, he put on a mask and would occasionally go to Xu Yuehuai's place to bump into her and see what she was doing.
The disguise technique was also what the enlightened master had mentioned, and Xu Yuehuai didn't notice any flaws. Even so, Qi Guze didn't dare to get close to her, only daring to observe everything Xu Yuehuai did in secret, like a shady clown.
So when he met Xu Yuehuai outside the Ghost Realm, he was very happy. He pretended not to know Xu Yuehuai and followed by Xu Yuehuai. In order not to expose himself, he deliberately did not make it too obvious.
In short, his demeanor was somewhat different from his usual self. Fortunately, his disguise was fairly successful at the time, and he even received a subtle hint that she already had a child. Qi Guze was both amused and exasperated, but he had to maintain a calm and even surprised expression; not a single laugh was allowed.
Later, he watched as Xu Yuehuai entered Qingcheng Academy to find him. Many times along the way, he wanted to tell her his identity, but he thought, what difference would it make? He came along to help Xu Yuehuai overcome all difficulties on her path.
He left. After watching Xu Yuehuai enter Qingcheng Academy, he left the third floor and went to the second floor. He went to the academy to take a look at Xu Yuehuai, who had appeared in Dean Zhong's courtyard.
His identity, and why Wei Shengliu obeyed him, were all thanks to the expert who brought them here. The expert gave them many things, all of which were treasures he himself had used here. Any one of them would be a sensation on the first floor.
To set up the situation, Qi Guze, halfway through his cultivation, went to the second level and found several small willow trees before the old man agreed to help. Qingtao Valley was the safe haven Qi Guze chose for Xu Yuehuai on the second level.
In Qingtao Valley, at least she could be guaranteed not to be bullied by others, and Wei Shengliu would even take extra care of Xu Yuehuai because of him.
That's true, but surprises always happen.
Qi Guze possessed a treasure given to him by a master, allowing him to progress in cultivation at an astonishing speed. Half of the credit went to the treasure, while the other half was due to Qi Guze's exceptional talent.
This is why the experts valued them both; their talents were exceptional.
When Qi Guze received so many treasures, he asked the master a question, "You've given me all these things, don't you plan to go back in the future? Why?"
“I am old and of high status. In that world, there is always a struggle of deceit and treachery. I have had enough of that kind of life. Seeing the two of you, I am giving you these things only because we are destined to meet.”
"I hope you can take these things with you and create a world of your own in that other world, so that your loved ones can return to you when they are safest with you."
Yes, when Qi Guze took over these things, it meant that his life would not be peaceful. The time he spent in the three-story town was the most relaxed period of his life. He didn't have to think about anything or worry about being assassinated all the time. He only needed to keep improving his cultivation.
However, as his status rose, some differences gradually became apparent. He had to leave Xu Yuehuai, otherwise it would bring disaster to Xu Yuehuai. He only dared to visit Xu Yuehuai under someone else's identity when things were almost resolved.
The world on the first floor, or rather, the identity of that old man, he had always underestimated the strength of that master. In the past few months of facing those people, he finally understood why the master would hand over everything he had. This was truly something no human would do!
Qi Guze had to deal with the sect members on the first floor while also searching for materials to return to his own world. These materials were extremely rare, with many being things that only appeared once every thousand years.
Qi Guze came here because when he was looking for a certain plant, his opponent took it away beforehand. When he tried to get it back, he learned that his opponent had already used the plant to make tea.
As for that plant, he has only found one so far, and he will have to wait another hundred years to get the next one.
Qi Guze felt very tired for a while. After suppressing those people with ruthless methods, he came to visit Xu Yuehuai.
She wanted to stay by Xu Yuehuai's side a little longer, as if that would give her more energy.
This time, he came with his true identity. In Qingtao Valley, not many people knew his identity, but Zisangyi was one of them, so he no longer wanted to hide it.
...
Xu Yuehuai sat quietly to the side, acting as a perfect listener. After hearing these words, Xu Yuehuai didn't know how to describe her current feelings; she only felt very complicated.
She was speechless for a moment. Qi Guze carefully got off the bed, walked to Xu Yuehuai's side, and hugged her. His movements were very gentle, without any sloppiness. This was after they met and recognized each other.
The first thing is a formal hug.
Xu Yuehuai did not resist. After an unknown amount of time, she punched Qi Guze in the chest with her fist and said with a hint of reproach in her voice, "Why did you come! What will happen to the children now that you've come! You just left them like this, you're not responsible at all!"
Qi Guze knew that Xu Yuehuai wanted to say that he shouldn't have come, what if he couldn't go back? He smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, it's more meaningful for the two of us to go back and take care of the children together. I can't keep an eye on them by myself, they're so naughty."
"You're talking nonsense!" Xu Yuehuai lifted her head from Qi Guze's embrace, looked into his eyes, and retorted.
When Qi Guze saw Xu Yuehuai so vividly portrayed, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. He said reassuringly, "Yes, I was talking nonsense. I shouldn't have said that. I was wrong."
Xu Yuehuai was successfully amused by his appearance.
After the two hugged for a while, Xu Yuehuai sat down and began to do the math. "Why did you freeze the token you gave me back then? Did you know that I really needed the money, but when I asked someone to withdraw it, they couldn't?"
Qi Guze's smile froze. He hadn't expected the time for settling accounts to come so quickly; he had thought there would at least be some tenderness.
“Back then, someone was watching me. If they had discovered that I was still in contact with you, you would most likely have been attacked from both sides. So, in order to make the performance more realistic, I revoked your right to use the token.”
