Volume 2: The Devil Going South Chapter 418: Overcast and Rainy
"Miss Luo, this is a magical power that nourishes the state of mind. It's called the Divine Deer's True Secret of Nourishing the Heart. It's something I learned from the Tower of Ten Thousand Daos."
"The incident at the Tower of Ten Thousand Daos was really a helpless move, but I still offended Miss Luo after all, so this trip is to make amends."
…
Luofu, Yangxin Courtyard.
Gu Qingyang was sitting on the guest seat. At this moment, he was saluting with both hands and presenting a jade pendant in front of Luo Shuixian.
Then, he stared at her with a very sincere look. Not to mention, Gu Qingyang's actions gave people a sense of reliability.
But at this moment, Luo Narcissus, who was sitting on the main seat, was silent. No matter what Gu Qingyang said, she always looked expressionless.
Gu Qingyang didn't just come to her Luo Mansion.
In fact, Gu Qingyang has been here for a long time, and this matter has been discussed for a long time.
However, in fact, neither of them could continue talking.
From Luo Shuixian's point of view, no matter what Gu Qingyang sent, Gu Qingyang's move gave her a feeling of lack of sincerity.
In Gu Qingyang's view, this Divine Deer Heart-nurturing Secret was something he created by combining the inheritance of the Divine Deer Academy and many magical powers of the mind.
Such magical power, even if it is not said to be extremely precious, can definitely cause waves of bloodshed in the outside world.
But Luo Shuixian didn't care at all.
This made Gu Qingyang feel that he really had no idea what to do. He really didn't know how to deal with the woman in front of him.
However, no matter what they think in their hearts, on the surface, one of them understands etiquette better than the other.
"After all, I was at fault in this matter. I wonder what Miss Luo should do before I can forgive you?"
"Humph, isn't this person going to eat up his whole body and never recognize anyone else? I heard my young lady talk about what happened that day."
"Forehead--"
"Uh-huh, what? Our young lady is a rich man, and we have never experienced anything like this since we were young."
"This is your Mr. Gu. If it had been any other man, I'm afraid he would have been crushed to pieces and his ashes scattered in the vast world."
"That's right, Mr. Gu, do you want to think about renewing your relationship with our lady?"
"Xiao Zhu, Mo Lan, what nonsense are you two talking about? Why don't you leave quickly? If I don't discipline you for a few days, won't you feel itchy?"
…
Gu Qingyang originally planned to continue fighting for it, so he spoke again and tried to explain a few more sentences.
But before he could explain a few words, Xiaozhu and the two girls, who had been standing behind Luo Shuixian, couldn't bear it anymore.
Before Gu Qingyang finished speaking, the two of them spoke directly, refuting Gu Qingyang one after another, leaving Gu Qingyang speechless.
By the end, Gu Qingyang's head was covered with black lines.
What does it mean to "eat everything but not recognize others"?
What does "others have to grind their bones and throw away their ashes"?
People who know the truth about this matter may also understand that Gu Qingyang just looked at it twice and really did nothing else.
Those who don't know about this may still think that he, Gu Qingyang, is really a scoundrel, and he is also the kind of scoundrel who runs away as soon as he is done.
"Qing, Qingyang, don't care-"
And at this moment, after Luo Shuixian habitually scolded Xiaozhu and the others.
Luo Shuixian looked at Gu Qingyang, but the first words he spoke made Gu Qingyang stunned.
It is no exaggeration to say that at that moment, Gu Qingyang was really panicked.
Because he could clearly see a hint of crimson on Luo Shuixian's cheeks.
This made Gu Qingyang feel dizzy instantly. He didn't want him to have too many deep connections with the woman in front of him.
The memories of her in the previous life can be regarded as a shadow. And cooperating with her in this life was originally a smooth move.
But from beginning to end, he was deliberately maintaining that distance.
This distance is a safe distance for Gu Qingyang. As long as he does not cross this distance, he is safe.
But if he crosses this distance, what may be waiting for him is the sweetness of the illusion, and the inevitable disaster hidden behind this illusion.
At this moment, he noticed an extremely subtle feeling.
This feeling seemed to remind him all the time, as long as the distance between him and Luo Narcissus was a little closer.
Then, all the original distances will cease to exist. Correspondingly, even if he doesn't want to fall into that eternal situation, he still has to fall into it.
"Miss Luo, I——"
Seeing Gu Qingyang speak again, this time, Luo Shuixian's beautiful eyes returned to a clear color at an extremely fast speed.
Immediately afterwards, the crimson color on her cheeks also faded very quickly.
After a breath, she looked as if she had never blushed before.
But then, before Gu Qingyang could finish her words or have any reaction, she said:
"Qingyang doesn't have to be like this. I think, based on our relationship, we won't be so divided over this matter."
"I accepted your gift, but in addition to this gift, I need you to make another promise to me."
"Qingyang, you can rest assured that my demands will not be excessive. I will not let you do things for me against your true intentions."
"Besides, my request shouldn't be difficult."
"The Mysterious Realm of Divine Desolation is about to open. I'm not good at practicing, but I also want to improve my cultivation and combat power."
"The promise I want you to make is that you promise that you will find some suitable opportunities for me in the mysterious and mysterious realm."
"Whether it's treasures from heaven, materials, earth, or those ancient inheritances, these are all fine. My requirement is that these must be found by you."
"Okay, I promise you."
After a slight hesitation, Gu Qingyang chose to nod.
However, that moment of hesitation made him think of many things.
He thought that Luo Shuixian had helped him many times since he entered the Divine Deer Academy.
Although it is all an exchange of interests, in the final analysis, everyone is still "human".
It is impossible to say that there is no emotional fluctuation in the process of communication.
When he looks at a thing or a problem, what he can see is often much deeper than others.
Therefore, in his eyes, the process of communication these days is actually a process that owes cause and effect.
This cause and effect can be easily repaid now.
But if it is postponed to a later time and changes occur due to the passage of time, then it is not certain that it will be easy to repay it later.
And he could also hear that Luo Shuixian didn't want to raise an army to hold him accountable. Otherwise, the people who just attacked him wouldn't be Xiaozhu and the others.
He and Luo Shuixian had an agreement long ago, that is, he would help her practice and protect her in the Shenlu Academy.
Regarding this agreement, he did indeed do a very good job during this period of time.
Except for those scenes where he couldn't participate, in other scenes, Gu Qingyang could do everything perfectly.
In Gu Qingyang's opinion, this trip to the divine wilderness can actually be counted as part of the first agreement. Therefore, he originally planned to continue.
But what he didn't expect was that in the end, this matter would lead to such an unprecedented result.
"That's good."
"The misunderstanding between us has been cleared up now. Next, let us discuss other things."
"Other things?"
"Yes, I want to hear your plans for the trip to the mysterious and mysterious land. A person like you should be very good at hanging around in such a place, right?"
"That's true, so I want to tell you that before entering the secret realm, you must prepare more wound medicine and elixirs to deal with various emergencies."
"Is that all?"
Hearing this, Luo Narcissus couldn't help but frown slightly. She looked at Gu Qingyang, with a hint of suspicion in her beautiful eyes.
However, after Gu Qingyang saw her appearance, he understood her thoughts instantly. Therefore, he immediately laughed and said:
"How can that be all?"
"In addition, you also need to prepare some magic weapons that can be used as magic talismans, as well as various magic talismans. You must also prepare them."
"Then, you must practice the magical powers I give you, and the people around you must also practice them for me."
"Places like the Secret Realm seem to be filled with countless opportunities. But let me tell you, nine out of ten of those opportunities are fake."
"Illusions, traps, and various killing moves are all things that originally existed in the secret realm."
"After finding the treasure, I was plotted against him. I competed with others for the same treasure, and got involved in a big war because of certain things."
"Such things happen from time to time."
"In a word, you have to be extremely careful when doing things in the secret realm. Don't do anything that may endanger yourself."
"Been taught a lesson."
…
When Gu Qingyang started talking about the secret realm, he started to talk non-stop, describing everything vividly.
Xiaozhu and Molan also opened their eyes wide at this time, listening to one sentence after another, as if they were afraid of missing anything again.
And gradually, when talking about it later, Gu Qingyang couldn't help but feel helpless.
At this moment, he really wanted to sigh, reasoning with a woman is a very troublesome thing, and talking to a woman about something else seems to be just as troublesome.
Thanks to the details of what he said, and thanks to the touching words he spoke, and the fuss lasted for a long time, these three aunts mistook him for a storyteller.
He sat here talking for a long time, and the three aunts probably only shared a handful of fruit, and ate it while listening.
"Then...I'm going back?"
"Okay, Xiaozhu, see you off."
"Okay miss."
After agreeing, Xiaozhu immediately followed Gu Qingyang's footsteps and sent Gu Qingyang and Yelan Yaoge away from Luofu together with Mo Lan.
But little did they know that just after everyone left, Luo Shuixian silently took out a strange-shaped bronze mirror and cast a spell on it.
"Brother, how is it?"
Seeing the image of a man appear on the bronze mirror, Luo Shuixian also changed from his previous calm demeanor.
She held the mirror, couldn't wait to ask her question, and then stared at the mirror in her arms expectantly.
On the other side, at the same time, a man slumped on his seat smiled and then said:
"Well, he should be pretty good."
"I'll just say it."
Hearing this, Luo Narcissus couldn't help but smile happily. But then, the man's next words made her sober.
"But I don't think he is particularly suitable for you. Sister, why don't you just listen to my brother and recruit a few people so that they can marry you."
"In this case, my brother won't be too concerned about who you recruit, as long as you like it. Anyway, if you want to marry outside, that's impossible."
"elder brother!"
Luo Shuixian frowned and let out a soft sigh.
"My good girl, please stop making things difficult for your brother. Do you have the heart to put your brother at risk for other men?"
"Besides, although that kid is somewhat outstanding, he is definitely not the number one among the younger generation."
"Besides, even if you become like this, it's hard to say whether he will treat you well and whether he will treat you as a true relative."
…
On the other hand, the man in the bronze mirror was still chattering with Luo Narcissus, analyzing the possible disadvantages of her choosing Gu Qingyang.
However, no matter how long he spoke, no matter how many words he said, when he came to the end, Luo Shuixian's words made him instantly dumbfounded.
"Eh-"
"Brother, you don't know him at all."
Just this simple sentence made the man on the other side of the bronze mirror almost break his teeth. At the same time, he looked even more angry.
"What's so good about that bastard? Does it deserve my sister to defend him like this?"
"Girl, that guy didn't secretly feed you the ecstasy soup, right?"
“Brother, what nonsense are you talking about——”
…
On the other side, just after Gu Qingyang and Ye Lan Yao Ge left Luo Mansion, Ye Lan Yao Ge, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
"Lord Qingyang, you need to make that decision early. A long night with many dreams is not a good thing. If the night is too long, there will be too many variables."
"You mean, Luo Shuixian?"
"Yes, Lord Qingyang."
Facing Gu Qingyang's question, Yelan Yaoge nodded without hesitation and gave a positive answer while nodding.
"She...what happened to her?"
"Lord Qingyang, you are hesitating."
"Okay, I understand what you mean."
"Lord Qingyang, I can tell you that she is not the person who can accompany you to the end."
"What about you?"
"Me? Although I really want to say that I am, the fact is that I am not."
"Neither are you?"
"No, I'm not worthy yet."
Speaking of this, Ye Lan Yaoge's beautiful eyes couldn't help but become extremely sad.
She glanced at Gu Qingyang and said nothing.
When Gu Qingyang saw her like this, he also fell into deep thought.
What he just said was the truth, and he did understand what she meant.
He knew that Ye Lan Yaoge just wanted to tell him that if he wanted to accept Luo Shuixian, he should accept it as soon as possible, and if he didn't want to accept it, he should stop it as soon as possible.
It doesn't matter if he accepts it. After all, with his achievements, he is still worthy enough to be matched with the eldest lady of the Luo family.
It doesn't matter if you don't accept it.
After all, there was no deep relationship between him and Luo Narcissus. Even if there was some relationship, the relationship was probably derived from desire.
Emotions derived from interests, marriages based on interests, can such things have a good outcome in the end?
Regarding this issue, Gu Qingyang didn't even feel that he needed to think about it carefully.
In just a moment when this question came up, he had already thought of the corresponding answer.
However, these are things that he can easily see through. In addition, there are things that he cannot see through.
For example, Yelan Yaoge beside him.
To be honest, during this period of time, he felt that Yelan Yaoge had changed. There were more or less obvious changes in her.
But it was precisely because of this that he had that extremely weird feeling. Moreover, it was difficult for him to understand the sadness of Yelan Yaoge.
Why is she like this?
Is it because of him? He thought of many reasons but never believed in this reason. Besides, all he could think of was fate.
"Lord Qingyang, you don't have to think too much."
"I know the results of many things, but I can't say them yet. If I did say them, those results would not become reality."
"So, Lord Qingyang, please wait patiently. However, it is time for the Shenhuang Mystic Realm and his party to prepare."
