Chapter 214- Nothing
Chu Linyuan was obediently pulled away, leaving Ling Hao standing there with a bewildered look on his face, and Luo Hongyi, Su Tang and others who were watching the show.
Behind the giant tree, Xie Zhao pushed the man against the trunk. Although he couldn't move him, he pressed himself up, staring at Chu Linyuan with his peach blossom eyes, lowering his voice and gritting his teeth: "Chu Linyuan! Explain it to me clearly! What's wrong with that kid? Huh? It's only been a short time? And he's already devoted to you? What did you do to him?"
Chu Linyuan looked at the angry face so close to him, feeling the warm breath coming from the other person, which was a mixture of the scent of the rainforest and a faint medicinal fragrance. A very faint smile flashed in the depths of his eyes, but his face still looked icy.
He raised his hand, gently pinched Xie Zhao's chin, and stroked the soft corner of his lips with his thumb. His voice was low and serious: "I didn't do anything. I just hit him."
He paused, then added, his tone almost innocently, "He's the one who's… a bit weird."
"I'm obsessed with you just because I hit you?" Xie Zhao was obviously unconvinced, jealousy still lingering. "Why don't I get treated this way? I worked so hard to pursue you..."
Before he could finish his words, Chu Linyuan suddenly lowered his head, and his slightly cool lips accurately sealed his chattering mouth.
Xie Zhao: "!!!"
His eyes widened instantly and he struggled a bit, but Chu Linyuan's arms were firmly wrapped around his waist.
A brief but unmistakable kiss, soothing and possessive.
After they separated, Chu Linyuan looked at Xie Zhao's instantly flushed cheeks and his calm demeanor. He whispered in his ear, his tone carrying a rare, sticky tone that only the two of them could understand: "I only do this to you... Don't make trouble."
Xie Zhao's ears were completely red, and the jealousy in his heart had been blown away by this sudden kiss, but he still tried to save face, hummed, and muttered softly: "...This is more like it."
On the other side, Ling Hao was curious and wanted to get closer to see how the "sect secrets" were being reported. As soon as he walked around behind the tree, he happened to see Chu Linyuan bending down to kiss Xie Zhao and whispering in his ear.
Ling Hao: “…”
He was like being struck by a bolt of lightning and was petrified on the spot!
That cold and powerful senior... would actually... take the initiative to be close to someone? And even say... say such corny words?!
And the target is a man? !
Ling Hao's worldview was shaken like never before! His mouth dropped open, his eyes wide as if they were bells. He froze in place, his mind blank.
Chu Linyuan's cold eyes swept over, carrying an obvious warning.
Xie Zhao also noticed him and immediately jumped out of Chu Linyuan's arms. His face was still a little red, but his eyes had become proud and boastful. He even deliberately hugged Chu Linyuan's arm.
Ling Hao suddenly came back to his senses, his face flushed red in an instant, and he stammered: "I... I didn't see anything! Senior! Thank you... thank you fellow Daoist! You... you continue!" After that, he fled back to the Sky Eagle Fort team in a shambles, almost in a mess.
He grabbed the arm of his guardian elder, his voice trembling: "Seventh... Seventh Elder! Senior, he... he and that fellow Daoist Xie... they..."
The old guardian had already seen through everything. Looking at his foolish expression, he sighed helplessly and whispered, "Young Master, you only see it now? Can the way that Fellow Daoist Chu looks at Fellow Daoist Xie be the same as the way he looks at others?"
Another Sky Eagle Fort disciple nearby also suppressed a laugh and added, "Yes, Young Master, we all noticed that you're the only one who's only thinking about becoming a disciple and learning from him..."
Ling Hao: “…”
He recalled the instant tenderness in Chu Linyuan's eyes when he looked at Xie Zhao, and then compared it to the coldness in his eyes when he looked at him, like looking at a stone on the side of the road...
A huge feeling of embarrassment and the realization that "it turns out that the clown is actually me" came over me!
He just wanted to learn powerful kung fu! He had a childhood sweetheart and a very close fiancée! He wasn't interested in men at all!
Ling Hao wanted to cry but had no tears. He felt extremely wronged, but looking at the cold gaze from Chu Linyuan, he dared not say anything. He could only swallow his grievances and felt completely depressed.
On the other side, Xie Zhao looked at Ling Hao's shocked and distraught look, and was finally satisfied. He raised the corners of his mouth proudly, and the little jealousy he had just felt disappeared.
He shook Chu Linyuan's arm and said, "Brother, let's go. Are we going to the core ruins yet?"
Chu Linyuan nodded, held Xie Zhao's hand with his backhand, interlocked their fingers, ignored all the shocked, curious, or awed gazes around him, and took the lead to walk towards the direction of the core ruins indicated by the star map.
The two teams merged, and their size grew significantly, but the atmosphere became somewhat subtle.
The disciples of Guixu Sect naturally held their heads high and felt proud, especially the new disciples. Looking at the two figures walking side by side in front of them, their eyes were full of admiration and peace of mind.
Everyone in Sky Eagle Castle seemed a little uneasy and silent, following at the end of the team, especially Ling Hao. His previous arrogance was gone, and he looked like a big dog drenched in the rain, with his head drooping. However, he couldn't help but look up from time to time to sneak a peek at Chu Linyuan and Xie Zhao in front of him.
Xie Zhao naturally sensed the frequent, complex gazes from behind him. He purposely leaned closer to Chu Linyuan, almost leaning halfway on his arm, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for those behind him to hear: "Brother, did you miss me when we separated just now? I found a great treasure, and it almost ran away. I had to work so hard to catch it!" His tone was sweet, with obvious boasting and intimacy.
Chu Linyuan glanced sideways at him, knowing he was doing it for the boy behind him, but he still agreed with a "hmm" and tightened his grip on his hand slightly. This simple response, however, pleased Xie Zhao more than any love words.
Ling Hao saw and heard everything clearly from behind, and suddenly felt even more embarrassed and at a loss.
He suddenly lowered his head, pretending to study the silver sand on the ground, but the tips of his ears were completely red.
He was so restless that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and could only follow the team mechanically.
