The door to the room was pushed open. Tong Yan pulled Gu Yuqi in and slammed the door behind her. The next moment she stood up on tiptoes and hugged his neck tightly. She buried her head in his neck and remained silent.
Her sudden action made Gu Yuqi a little overwhelmed. He tentatively ran his hand down the back of her neck twice and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
The head resting on his shoulder kept shaking. Gu Yuqi was about to say something when he clearly noticed that a piece of skin on his neck was wet with something.
He fell silent suddenly, hugged her waist tightly with his arms, and said nothing for a long time.
After a while, Tong Yan said in a hoarse voice, "Am I treating you very badly?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuqi paused, then gently smoothed her hair, and said in an emotional and helpless tone, "It's rare that you know this."
Many times the pursuit gave him the impression that it was just wishful thinking.
But asking him to let go is even harder to do.
"Then I was wrong." Tong Yan said without hesitation, and then explained in a slow voice, "I stopped you just now because I didn't want you to kill people randomly."
"Didn't you say that they have nothing to do with you anymore and you don't care whether they live or die?" Gu Yuqi was still a little unhappy. She didn't care if she rushed forward, wasn't she afraid that the two of them would accidentally hurt her?
These words inexplicably touched Tong Yan's perspective. She let go of her hand, raised her head and looked at him and said solemnly, "This is not a matter of relevance. The other party is neither a treacherous or evil person nor one of ours."
How can enemies of life and death kill innocent people indiscriminately and take lives at will, regardless of whether I know the person opposite or not, I will stop them in this situation."
Did he kill innocent people indiscriminately? Gu Yuqi thought that he really couldn't guarantee that there was no such thing, but generally he was not interested in taking anyone's life except to provoke him.
Then he thought that his ideas were completely consistent with Tong Yan's, so he nodded in agreement, "I'm not a person who kills indiscriminately."
Tong Yan still believes this. After knowing him for so long, I have never seen him kill anyone because of selfish desires.
The joy of being recognized and reached consensus made Tong Yan smile involuntarily, but there was still a little water in the corners of his eyes, and marks on his face were crisscrossed, making him look as dirty as a tabby cat.
Gu Yuqi stretched out his fingers and wiped the corners of her eyes, "Don't cry all the time. It makes people want to bully you."
Hearing this, Tong Yan took off his hands dissatisfied, clasped his fingers and retorted loudly, "Since you said so, I have only cried a few times. This is the last time I vented my emotions like this...this is the last time."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Gu Yuqi loosened her waist, pointed at her other arm that was still hanging around his neck, and said jokingly: "How long do you plan to hang it on?"
Tong Yan looked awkward and took back his words. When he turned around, he muttered unwillingly, "It seems so rare."
She didn't want to turn halfway, but her body was suddenly blocked. She was suddenly pulled back against the door panel by a pair of hands. She let out a small exclamation. When she looked up, she saw Gu Yuqi supporting the wall with one hand and looking down at her.
"What...what are you doing?" She was inexplicably flustered, and she said in a strong and aggressive manner: "Come on, I won't accept this trick."
Gu Yuqi chuckled slightly and hooked her chin with his finger, "Then why are you blushing?"
"Scared." Tong Yan refused to admit it.
He kept this posture and looked at her for a moment, then pinched her earlobe with his other hand, "Don't always worry about irrelevant people in the future."
These unrelated people refer specifically to the group of people from the Mosha Sect. Tong Yan knew what he meant, so he responded in a dull voice and stopped talking.
Knowing that Tong Yan is a person who easily softens her heart, it would be impossible for her to completely abandon the past, and Gu Yuqi did not want to force her too much.
He sighed, stood up straight, and said to her calmly, "Forget it, I see you are unwilling to do so..."
"Let's be together." The woman who lowered her head in thought suddenly raised her head and said.
The power of these words was comparable to a thunderclap on a sunny day. Gu Yuqi suddenly lost his voice, his expression went blank for a moment, and he looked at her eyes with shock and disbelief.
And, there is also a touch of unclear joy that is trying to be suppressed.
"What...what did you say?" The sentence he spat out almost stuttered.
Tong Yan's face was hot and she didn't dare to look directly at him, but she still said firmly, "I said, we are together..."
"Okay!" Before she could finish her words, Gu Yuqi decisively stopped her midway, as if he was afraid that if she was a second too late, she would regret it.
She pursed her lips to suppress her smile, feeling indescribably happy and relaxed in her heart. She couldn't help but peek at the person in front of her, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
At this time, I suddenly heard Gu Yuqi say something like a fairy from outside the sky, "Then let's get married tomorrow!"
"What? Tomorrow!?" Tong Yan was immediately startled by his words, realized what he was talking about, and said quickly: "I didn't say I wanted to get married!"
Didn't he say they were getting married? The great joy that just appeared in Gu Yuqi's eyes instantly turned into doubt, "You lied to me?"
His sharp gaze made people's scalp numb. Tong Yan immediately shook his head and denied it. Under the pressure, he weakly explained, "What I mean is that we should date first and wait for a while before considering whether to get married."
For example, let's be in love for several years and decades before we consider these things.
"How long?"
"...Not sure?" Tong Yan felt inexplicably guilty.
Gu Yuqi's face turned cold and he looked at her as if he were a liar.
"You still say no." His voice dropped, with a hint of sullenness as if he had been teased.
Tong Yan was helpless, sweating profusely, and explained further, "What I mean is... unmarried couples, let's get engaged first. If we can't get along later, there won't be a wedding."
Gu Yuqi could accept the idea of an unmarried couple. He tilted his head and thought about it. Getting married tomorrow is indeed a bit hasty. After all, it is a lifelong event and cannot be so casual.
"Okay." He thought for a moment and finally nodded. He paused and said, "I want to correct you on one point. When you talk about getting along, in fact we have been getting along for many years. I don't think there is anything inappropriate about it."
Tong Yan thought about it and felt that it seemed right, but something didn't seem quite right.
"Finally..." Gu Yuqi lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Can I not leave tonight?"
???
All the throbbing emotions in his heart disappeared. Tong Yan's forehead veins jumped, he turned around and opened the door, making a gesture of invitation.
"Excuse me, please come this way."
This is to drive him away, but he is not surprised that Tong Yan will object. If she suddenly agrees, he will be surprised.
She was always very funny when she was shy. Gu Yuqi couldn't stop laughing, flicked his sleeves, lifted his legs and went out.
When I turned around to say a few more words, the door slammed shut with a loud bang.
Gu Yuqi smiled helplessly, with a look of endearment in his eyes, and without saying anything, he left briskly and disappeared into the corridor after a while.
He still had something to do. He was able to have such a surprise tonight thanks to certain people. Now he was going to "thank you".
After they left, Huo Qizhi left the inn in despair, with the last words of Tong Yan echoing in his mind.
It was Gu Yuqi who deceived her master and destroyed her ancestors. Why did Tong Yan put herself in the same category as such a person? Or was it because of their abandonment and neglect that she exiled herself and was willing to hang out with him.
No, she is not that kind of person, Gu Yuqi must have deceived her!
A slender shadow suddenly appeared on the street in front of him. Huo Qizhi paused all his speculations and looked across the street warily.
After seeing who the person was, Huo Qizhi was startled at first, and then his mood fluctuated violently. Gu Yuqi actually came back to kill him. His guess was right.
Tong Yan must have been deceived by him to stay with him, and she even wanted to defend him even at the cost of humiliating herself.
"Where is my master?" Huo Qizhi asked preemptively.
Gu Yuqi glanced at him indifferently, with contempt and ridicule coming towards him. He ignored his words and suddenly attacked without warning like last time.
Huo Qizhi has no opponent in the Golden Core realm, and he can handle one or two battles with ordinary Nascent Souls. However, his opponent is Gu Yuqi, who can easily leapfrog and kill people. The gap in realm is there.
When the two faced off, Huo Qizhi was undoubtedly defeated.
