After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

When Gu Qingze heard his words, he couldn't help but give him a big hug.

There was no reason. If he had to give one, it was that he thought Ling Xiao was really handsome when he said those words just now, and he couldn't help but want to hug him.

Chu Lingxiao smiled helplessly when he heard his far-fetched argument.

As if he had thought of something, he revealed his face from Gu Qingze's arms and said a reminder.

"Qingze, let go first...there are so many people here!"

"Is it not possible for brothers to give each other an encouraging hug?"

Gu Qingze said pretending to be aggrieved.

"Not really...it will be my turn soon. I'll let you hug me as much as you want when we get back. Now, please let go of my hand."

Chu Lingxiao patted his back, signaling him to let go.

Gu Qingze did as he was told, and when he let go, he couldn't help but patted his shoulder.

"Go quickly and come back soon. I'll wait for you here."

"Oh, I see."

Chu Lingxiao nodded and walked towards the duel stage.

Ye Yun had been waiting for him on the duel stage. When he saw him coming up, he gave him a kind smile.

"Junior Brother Chu, please give me your guidance in the next duel."

What he didn't expect was that Chu Lingxiao shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Brother Ye, I can't fight you."

After saying this, he asked the six elders at the referee's table for instructions.

"Why can't we fight anymore?" Ye Yun was stunned and looked at him in confusion.

"I admit defeat in this duel." Chu Lingxiao did not answer Ye Yun's question. Instead, his eyes followed the Sixth Elder, waiting for his reply.

The Sixth Elder seemed to have rarely encountered such a situation. He was stunned for a moment before slowly nodding and agreeing with his decision.

After all, there is no rule in the sword-fighting competition that prohibits voluntarily admitting defeat, it’s just that few disciples do so.

When Chu Lingxiao walked off the stage, the disciples who were watching the game in the stands got the information late and were immediately in an uproar.

"Who is this person? Why did he admit defeat before the fight even started?"

"That's right, at least let's try a few moves together."

"It's really shameful. Isn't his behavior a disgrace to his master and even the disciples of his peak?"

"Huh? I saw his badge. This person seems to be a direct disciple."

"Aren't there only two sword cultivators, Yangjian Peak and Cangjian Peak, who have disciples taught by their own teachers?"

"The disciple voluntarily admitted defeat. It's over. It looks even more embarrassing to hear this."

..................................................................

Various discussions came into his ears, but Chu Lingxiao seemed not to hear them and walked straight to Gu Qingze.

"Don't listen to the sounds around you. I will use my spiritual power to create a reverse soundproof shield for you."

Gu Qingze saw Chu Lingxiao coming to him, he gently covered his ears with his hands and spoke softly.

"Don't do that. There's no need. The words they say now have no power at all. They are just a drizzle. They are not as powerful as the dirty words I heard in Qingyun City."

Chu Lingxiao said indifferently, and even comforted Gu Qingze in return.

But seeing him like this, Gu Qingze felt even more distressed.

"Let's go quickly. The duel afterwards has nothing to do with us anyway, and we might as well practice instead of watching the battle."

Gu Qingze took his arm and left this place of trouble.
