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

"If this is true, how can I explain this to Senior Brother Bing Ling? He is still waiting for the 'Three Lives Flower' to save his lover."

Chu Lingxiao seemed particularly calm: "I don't know whether 'Sanshenghua' has this ability, but I know the reason why the coffin keeper gave up 'Sanshenghua'."

"What's the reason?" Gu Qingze's eyes brightened instantly. According to Ling Xiao's words, the coffin keeper gave up the 'Three Lives Flower' not because he had tried it and found it useless, but for other reasons.

"Because..." Chu Lingxiao suddenly raised his head and looked towards the quiet bamboo forest not far away, "'Sanshenghua' cannot be used on 'Yue'er'."

"No? Why not?" Gu Qingze was puzzled.

"Because the 'Sansheng Flower' is the flower formed by the purest and most extreme love. This is more information about the 'Sansheng Flower' that I discovered from the coffin keeper's memory."

Chu Lingxiao continued slowly, "And that love comes from Yue'er, so the Sansheng Flower appears in Yue'er's hand."

"I see. I thought the 'Sansheng Flower' in her hand was obtained by the coffin keeper and placed in her hand."

"If that's the case, shouldn't we try? The San Sheng Flower was born because of 'Yue'er. Shouldn't the coffin keeper be more obsessed with it, believing that it can bring a glimmer of life to 'Yue'er?" Gu Qingze became more and more confused.

Chu Lingxiao shook his head: "That's why it can't be used. The 'Three Life Flowers' can't be used on 'Yue'er,' the person who was born because of her."

Gu Qingze suddenly felt that there was a hint of fate playing tricks on him. He seemed to understand something and suddenly realized.

"So, the coffin keeper's smile at that time was so complicated, because it proved Yue'er's selfless, pure, and ultimate love for him, but because of this, he also lost the hope of bringing Yue'er back."

“Yeah.” Chu Lingxiao’s expression also revealed a trace of sadness. “The feeling of gaining hope and then losing it is too… hopeless. That’s why I hope he can let it go a little.”

Gu Qingze caught the key information in his words and smiled sweetly at him: "So... Ling Xiao is admitting that you created this illusion for the coffin keeper and Yue'er?"

Chu Lingxiao realized that he had accidentally let something slip when he was sighing, and subconsciously retorted: "I didn't."

"It's obviously there."

"No."

"Yes."

"Not really."

"There is!"

"No!"

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

Chu Lingxiao kept refutating, and gradually, his expression seemed to turn from shame and anger, as if he was losing the verbal battle with Qingze.

He struggled to break free from Qingze's warm embrace and splashed water on him.

Gu Qingze naturally did not want to be outdone, he immediately raised his arms and also splashed water.

The two of them played the "water splashing game" in this mist, and soon they were wet all over. Even their ink-black hair was not spared and was soaked by the water.

"It's fine, just think of it as washing your hair." Gu Qingze comforted himself.

Chu Lingxiao widened his golden eyes in dissatisfaction and said, "Damn Qingze, now my hair will be full of medicine smell when it dries."

Gu Qingze cried out in injustice, pointing at himself in disbelief: "Ling Xiao, if I remember correctly, it was you who started it first, right? Besides, the mess my hair is in now is not even half as good as yours."

"That's because you said that first, which made me..."

Chu Lingxiao pursed his lips halfway through his words and stopped talking. He just moved away from him angrily. He looked like a puffed-up pufferfish, which was quite cute.

Gu Qingze slowly moved towards him, and while he was still not reacting, he gently kissed his hair, and indeed he smelled a strong smell of medicine.

"Ling Xiao..."

He smiled slightly, opened his arms and embraced him again, and asked him softly:

"I know Ling Xiao is very considerate and would definitely not get angry with someone like me because of something like this, so... Ling Xiao must be angry for other reasons, right?"

"Could it be that... Ling Xiao is shy? Because I exposed his true thoughts?"

"Qingze, don't be so sentimental. I'm not like that..."

Chu Lingxiao retorted subconsciously, then lowered his head, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said:

"I...I just don't want to be defined by others. For example, if others think I'm a good person, it will inevitably bring me a lot of trouble and unnecessary trivia, and I don't want that."

Gu Qingze patted him on the back gently to show his understanding, but said nothing more.

Chu Lingxiao raised his head and looked at him, his eyes full of seriousness, "What about Qingze?"

"What?" Gu Qingze was still immersed in his own thoughts and did not come back to his senses for a while.

"That is... Qingze wants others to have a good impression of you? Even if it will cause some trouble for no reason."

Gu Qingze was silent for a moment, then slowly replied:

"There has been a change in thinking... I used to be eager and looking forward to this. After all, people always want to get good reviews and recognition from others... I am no exception."

Gu Qingze paused here, looked at Ling Xiao, smiled at him, and then continued:

"After all, I am just an ordinary person, no different from most people in the world."

"But now it seems to have changed... I hope to do what I want to do, rather than being bound by morality and forced to do something."

He paused for a moment and said, "... Ling Xiao, I seem to have suddenly understood something that I didn't understand before."

"What's the matter?" Chu Lingxiao looked at him and asked.

"Why doesn't Jinnian like or want to have a good reputation and be recognized as a good demon by everyone?"

"...Before I went to the brothel, he came to me and told me to discredit him as much as possible, and to make other demons think that he bullies men and women... I guess his idea is not much different from yours."

Chu Lingxiao nodded gently: "Maybe."

"So... Qingze, do you understand? Why don't I want you to call me a 'good person', and I don't want you to be regarded as a 'good person' by others... Because there is no need for 'good people' in the world of cultivation."

"Or to be more precise... this world doesn't need 'good people', because once you are identified as a 'good person', others will think you are easy to bully, unless you are very strong. But at the same time, you will also get into a lot of trouble because of being a 'good person'."

"So... 'good people' generally do more harm than good. Qingze, you can do good things, but you can't let others think you are a 'good person'."

After hearing what Ling Xiao said, Gu Qingze fell into deep thought for a long time: "Ling Xiao, you are right. I will never do this again..."

Chu Lingxiao touched his head distressedly and slowly held him in his arms: "Don't worry, we still have plenty of time, just change slowly, there is no need to completely change your mindset all at once."

Gu Qingze shook his head: "No need to do that, I know Ling Xiao is doing this for my own good, and I am always quick to accept good ideas."
