Chapter 260 Forget it, she is still young
A hint of unnaturalness flashed across his face, and he looked at Gao Huohuo with a hint of resentment.
Gao Huohuo was stunned by his eyes, then suddenly realized and showed an expression of "I understand".
She smiled, patted her chest, and said in a relaxed tone:
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, don't worry. When Fellow Daoist Su wakes up, I will definitely tell her that it was you who saved her."
The corner of Zhong Hanshang's mouth twitched slightly. Looking at Gao Huohuo's innocent yet serious expression, he felt helpless.
However, Gao Huohuo's next sentence made him stand there in a daze, as if he was struck by lightning.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, if you like Fellow Daoist Su, you have to tell him directly. Otherwise, how will Fellow Daoist Su know your feelings?"
Gao Huohuo blinked, his tone containing a hint of teasing and encouragement.
Zhong Hanshang's eyes widened, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his tone became stammering:
"I... I like... Su Ruoyun? Senior Sister Gao, who told you that?"
Seeing Zhong Hanshang's puzzled expression, Gao Huohuo thought that his secrets had been exposed and he was angry and embarrassed, so he smiled and comforted him:
"Friend Zhong, I figured this out myself. You don't have to be embarrassed."
Zhong Hanshang's expression instantly became complicated, as if he had suffered a great blow.
He didn't expect that Gao Huohuo would always misunderstand him like this.
No wonder she no longer called herself "Senior Brother" after meeting Su Ruoyun. It turned out that she thought she had someone in her heart.
Thinking of this, Zhong Hanshang felt that he could not let this misunderstanding continue and had to explain it clearly.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Junior Sister Gao, I have never liked Fellow Daoist Su. I never had that kind of intention towards her."
Gao Huohuo was stunned, blinked his eyes, and looked confused.
"Ah? Fellow Daoist Zhong, you don't like Su Ruoyun? Then who do you like? Could it be Chen Wanzhen?"
Zhong Hanshang was almost amused by her train of thought, and helplessly held his forehead:
"Senior Sister Gao, I... don't like anyone, at least not the two you mentioned."
Gao Huohuo frowned even more tightly after hearing this, with a hint of worry in his tone:
"When Fellow Daoist Su wakes up and learns about this, won't he be sad?
How about... you pretend to like her a little recently? Otherwise, she will definitely be sad if she finds out."
Zhong Hanshang was completely speechless. He seemed to have a thousand words in his heart but didn't know where to start.
He still wanted to pretend to like Su Ruoyun? What kind of ridiculous suggestion was this?
He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said in a serious tone:
"Senior Sister Gao, how can we treat matters of the heart as a joke?
Pretending to like someone is not only disrespectful to her, but also irresponsible to yourself.
If you misunderstand this, you will only be more sad in the future."
Gao Huohuo listened and nodded thoughtfully, but his face was still a little tangled:
"But... Fellow Daoist Su seems to have some feelings for you. If she knew you weren't interested in her, wouldn't she be even more upset?"
Zhong Hanshang sighed and spoke in a slower tone, "Junior Sister Gao, love can't be forced.
If Fellow Daoist Su is really sad about this, there is nothing that can be done about it.
We can only try to be honest with her and prevent her from getting hurt further."
Gao Huohuo was silent for a moment, and finally nodded:
"Okay, Brother Zhong is right. However, if Brother Su is truly sad, you must comfort her."
Zhong Hanshang smiled helplessly, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
At least, the misunderstanding has been temporarily resolved.
Just by looking at Gao Huohuo's calm expression, Zhong Hanshang knew that she had never thought about it that way at all.
I originally wanted to make it clear all at once, but now I can only swallow the words back.
He looked down at Su Ruoyun who was unconscious on the ground, sighed, and gently picked up Su Ruoyun with his spiritual power.
Although his movements were a bit stiff, he was still very careful.
Gao Huohuo was stunned watching from the side and couldn't help but mutter:
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, even though you don't like Fellow Daoist Su, she's unconscious now. Should it be okay if you hold her?"
Zhong Hanshang glanced at her coldly and said indifferently: "I don't like to be too close to other people."
Gao Huohuo curled his lips and thought to himself:
It seems that Zhong Hanshang is a bit of a germaphobe. No wonder he always looks like he doesn't want anyone to approach him.
She thought for a moment and said:
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, how about I help Fellow Daoist Su? I see you're injured too, so don't waste your energy."
Hearing that Gao Huohuo still cared about his injury, Zhong Hanshang felt a little warm in his heart, and his tone softened a little: "It's okay, I can still hold on with this little spiritual power."
The two men took Su Ruoyun out of the deep pit.
Gao Huohuo went down again to see if Jing was there, but there was nothing at the bottom of the pit.
But he didn't say anything more and quickly followed Zhong Hanshang's footsteps.
"Senior Brother Zhong, I just checked. Senior Brother and the others are still some distance away from us, but overall, they seem to be within the Tianyou Ridge."
When Zhong Hanshang heard Gao Huohuo calling him "Senior Brother" again, the awkwardness in his heart instantly disappeared.
He shook his head secretly and thought: Forget it, Gao Huohuo is still young, some things cannot be rushed.
He thought that he was just a wooden man who devoted himself to cultivation in the past, but since when, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in his heart, which could not be shaken off.
The two of them flew towards Chu Lingchuan on their swords. On the way, Zhong Hanshang suddenly remembered some information he saw in the Soul-Devouring Pearl.
Although Su Ruoyun was still unconscious, he chose to send a message to Gao Huohuo for the sake of caution:
"Senior Sister Gao, I saw something in the Soul Devouring Pearl that might be related to breaking evil."
Hearing the word "destroying evil", Gao Huohuo instantly became energetic.
Their main purpose of entering Tianyou Ridge this time was to find clues to destroy the evil.
She quickly sent a voice message in response: "Brother Zhong, what did you see? Tell me quickly!"
Zhong Hanshang pondered for a moment and continued, "There is no direct information, but there are some relevant records.
It is said that the sacred object of the demon clan has a great origin, but the specific origin has been erased.
However, it is mentioned later that anyone who can obtain the power to destroy evil will surely be able to contend with the greatest evil in the world.
As for how to counter it, I just mentioned that only those with strong strength will know."
"What's the worst disaster in the world?" Gao Huohuo frowned slightly, thinking in his heart.
"Are you referring to the Soul Devourer? But what does it mean to be powerful? Is it because I am only at the Nascent Soul stage that the Evil Breaker won't obey your orders?"
Thinking of this, Gao Huohuo couldn't help but speak out his guess:
"Brother Zhong, do you think this 'strong strength' refers to the realm of cultivation?
For example, my current clone in the human race is only at the Nascent Soul stage, so I can't fully control the power to destroy evil?"
Zhong Hanshang nodded upon hearing this and said in a voice transmission:
"It's possible. After all, the Devil Breaker is a sacred object of the demon clan. If one's cultivation level is insufficient, it would be difficult to control.
However, this is just speculation and the specific situation needs further verification."
