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

After they came out of seclusion, Gu Qingze was originally full of joy and wanted to propose to Ling Xiao to go on an adventure to the secret realm together, or take on a few tasks, train together, and improve each other's cultivation and tacit understanding.

However, he unexpectedly discovered that Chu Lingxiao's behavior seemed a little unusual since he came out of seclusion. He always stared at him in a daze for no apparent reason, with complex thoughts flashing in his eyes, as if he was experiencing some intense struggle and consideration in his heart.

Gu Qingze couldn't help but feel a little confused and worried. He didn't want any estrangement or misunderstanding to arise between him and Ling Xiao, so he decided to take the initiative to ask.

However, this time, Ling Xiao did not answer the question frankly as usual when he asked the question. Instead, he chose to remain silent, or cleverly change the subject and avoid talking about it.

Seeing this scene, Gu Qingze was even more confused, and his original plan to train with Ling Xiao was temporarily shelved.

He decided to solve this sudden problem first and not let it affect their relationship.

"Ling Xiao..." Gu Qingze once again stared into Ling Xiao's eyes, his tone full of seriousness and concern.

He thought that if Ling Xiao couldn't tell him directly for some reason, then perhaps he could give him hints through his eyes or subtle actions.

After all, they have had many years of tacit understanding and tacit understanding between them, and he believes that he can understand Ling Xiao's mind.

This time, Chu Lingxiao did not avoid gazes, but looked straight at Gu Qingze, his eyes full of determination and firmness, as if he wanted to imprint Gu Qingze at this moment deeply in his heart.

"...Qingze, let's do it, I want to do it." These words came out of nowhere, and Gu Qingze was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react.

Just as he was about to say something, Chu Lingxiao had already thrown him onto the bed, leaned over and kissed him tightly.

After Gu Qingze realized what was happening, he was about to push Ling Xiao away. He didn't want Ling Xiao to change the subject again and wanted to make things clear with him.

However, when he thought of Ling Xiao's words and that resolute look, he silently withdrew his hand.

Since this is what Ling Xiao wants, he is willing to satisfy him as long as he is happy.

So, Gu Qingze turned over and pressed Ling Xiao under him.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, as if they wanted to engrave this moment of tenderness forever in each other's memory.

However, just as they were being affectionate and sentimental, Gu Qingze suddenly discovered that Ling Xiao on his body suddenly started crying.

Tears slowly rolled down his cheeks, and the sadness in his eyes seemed to be about to overflow.

Gu Qingze immediately stopped his actions and slowly hugged Ling Xiao, as if he was holding a fragile treasure, cherishing and gently.

He could feel Ling Xiao's inner pain and struggle. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he was willing to use his arms to give Ling Xiao the warmest comfort.

"Qingze..." Chu Lingxiao called his name softly, wanting to say something but seemed unable to speak.

He just called Gu Qingze's name over and over again, as if this could alleviate the pain and anxiety in his heart a little.

Gu Qingze felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. He could feel Ling Xiao's struggle and pain.

He thought that if Ling Xiao didn't want to tell him the reason, then he wouldn't ask.

In the final analysis, he just cared about Ling Xiao. If Ling Xiao speaking out would only make him more miserable, then he would not force him.

As long as Ling Xiao is still by his side... As long as he is still at home...

Gu Qingze's eyes were extremely gentle, and every time Ling Xiao called his name, he would respond over and over again, soothing Ling Xiao's sadness that arose for unknown reasons.

They did it again and again, and each time it seemed as if they were using body language to express their love and reluctance to part with each other.

However, when Gu Qingze woke up, he found that Ling Xiao was no longer around.

He subconsciously wanted to hug Ling Xiao, but his hands grabbed nothing. He reacted immediately and opened his eyes instantly, and the sleepiness he had originally felt disappeared in an instant.

He seemed to have guessed something, and immediately stood up, put on his clothes, and looked around for Ling Xiao.

However, he only found a pigeon in the duel arena in the center of Cangjian Peak.

The pigeon landed on his shoulder and he recognized it as a messenger pigeon.

There was a small note tied to the pigeon's leg. He took it off and released the pigeon.

I opened the note and saw only one sentence on it:

"The brief separation now is for a better meeting in the future. - Chu Lingxiao"

After seeing the note, Gu Qingze's anxious mood calmed down instantly.

In fact, he had already had a premonition that Ling Xiao would leave, but he just didn't want to accept it or think about it too much.

Now, he finally understood Ling Xiao's intentions and determination, and also understood how he should face this sudden separation.

Chu Lingxiao must have been forced to make such a choice. After all, his love and dependence on Gu Qingze were so deep that they could not be measured in words. He knew this better than anyone else.

If he had to choose between the two of them who loved the other the most, Gu Qingze would choose Chu Lingxiao without hesitation.

He always felt that on the scale of love, Ling Xiao's love was always a little bit more than his. That affection and persistence made him both moved and distressed.

Moreover, Chu Lingxiao would not lie to him. Since he promised that they would meet later, they would definitely meet and it would be impossible for him to go back on his word.

Gu Qingze looked at the note with some nostalgia. Every word on it seemed to contain Ling Xiao's warmth and emotion.

He carefully put the note into his storage bag, as if he was treasured a precious memory.

He knew that since Ling Xiao said they were parting, it meant that he would not be able to meet him for some time afterwards, and even if he went to look for him, it would be unlikely that he would be able to find him.

He could only endure the bitterness of separation silently.

Although Gu Qingze didn't know the specific reason why Ling Xiao left, he already had a guess in his mind... Maybe it was influenced by the way of heaven. If that was the case, then it would be even more impossible for him to find where Ling Xiao was.

In this case, he can only wait for Ling Xiao to come back. During the time he is waiting for Ling Xiao, he should use it to practice hard and improve himself.

He wanted to transform this longing and expectation into motivation for cultivation, so that he could reach a higher level of strength.

In this way, when they meet again, he will be able to stand by Ling Xiao's side in a better manner and help him...
