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

Qingyun Sect, Hidden Sword Peak——

After being enlightened by Shen Mengli, Gu Qingze calmed down a lot from the trading peak.

When he flew back to Cangjian Peak, an unexpected scene came into his sight:

He Lanzhi and Lu Xingchen sat side by side on a huge rock on Cangjian Peak. He Lanzhi leaned lightly on Lu Xingchen's shoulder. The two seemed to be immersed in a private conversation. The atmosphere was warm and subtle.

Gu Qingze paused involuntarily, muttering to himself: Isn't the timing of coming back a little inappropriate?

I never thought that one day I would become a "light bulb".

Looking at the two of them, Gu Qingze felt a little complicated. He was hesitating whether to disturb the tranquility, but Lu Xingchen had already spotted him:

"Junior Brother Gu, come and sit down. It's a good opportunity for us brothers to have a good time together."

Gu Qingze faced He Lanzhi's slightly "resentive" but smiling gaze, slowly sat down, and chose the other side of Lu Xingchen.

"Brother, what are you two doing here?"

Out of curiosity, Gu Qingze couldn't help but ask.

Lu Xingchen smiled slightly, his eyes twinkling like the stars in the night sky: "Nothing else, I just chatted with your Senior Brother Helan for a while."

"And then..." He looked up at the night sky. At this moment, the sky was dotted with stars and looked very beautiful.

His tone was full of cherishment for the beautiful moment, "I watched the scenery with the little fox. After all, the moonlight tonight is so beautiful, it would be a pity not to see it."

"Little Fox"...Is this referring to Senior Brother Helan?

Gu Qingze speculated secretly in his heart and couldn't help but smile.

And...Does Senior Brother Lu know that "The moonlight tonight is so beautiful" is a confession...

He probably didn't know... After all, this sentence came from a modern novel. However, what he didn't expect was that Senior Brother Lu would unconsciously say such romantic words.

After a moment of wandering thoughts, Gu Qingze looked at the starry sky, then looked at Lu Xingchen, and said with a smile: "Indeed, the starry sky tonight is beautiful. I haven't seen such a starry sky for a long time."

The three of them looked up at the night sky at the same time. The starlight seemed to fall into their eyes, adding a bit of brilliance to their eyes and illuminating their hearts.

After a moment of silence, Lu Xingchen slowly spoke, breaking the silence:

"Well... Junior Brother Gu, I'm about to leave Qingyun Sect for a while. I wanted to invite you, Little Fox, and Junior Brother Chu to get together, but Junior Brother Chu is not here, so it can only be the three of us."

Although He Lanzhi had a premonition when he heard this, he still couldn't hide the reluctance in his heart. His fox ears trembled slightly, revealing his mood.

Gu Qingze looked confused: "Brother Lu, where are you going? Are you going to take a long-term mission?"

Lu Xingchen smiled and shook his head. Against the backdrop of this beautiful night scene, his eyes seemed particularly gentle, as if he could tolerate everything in the world: "Of course not. I left for personal reasons."

"Personal reasons?" Gu Qingze asked, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Yes." Lu Xingchen looked up at the starry sky again, his eyes flashing with determination. "My understanding of the way of the sword has reached a bottleneck. I need external stimulation and more experience in the world, maybe I can make a breakthrough."

He stretched out his hand, as if trying to catch the stars in the night sky: "Besides... I have been in Qingyun Sect since I was young, and I rarely go out except for missions."

"This time, I want to take this opportunity to travel around. After all, the world is vast and full of interesting things. I want to see them with my own eyes and experience them for myself."

Lu Xingchen smiled freely, but He Lanzhi looked at him distressedly, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and finally just asked: "Xingxing, how long will you be away this time?"

Lu Xingchen turned to look at him, smiling warmly: "The destination is not yet determined, and the return date is naturally hard to say. However, this should be a long-term plan, so... I came to say goodbye to you."

He Lanzhi nodded, her fox ears drooping, and said nothing more. She just responded softly, but the reluctance in her heart surged like a tide.

Gu Qingze noticed that He Lanzhi was acting strangely. In order to give him a chance, he looked at Lu Xingchen and asked, "Senior Brother Lu, are you going alone?"

"Yeah." Lu Xingchen nodded. "After all, everyone has their own things to do, and I can't take up other people's time."

"For a cultivator, cultivation is the most important thing... If I let other people accompany me, disturbing them and wasting their time, I would feel very guilty."

"Besides... not everyone wants to travel around the world."

When Lu Xingchen said the last sentence, his voice became very low, and it became lower and lower...

Gu Qingze looked at He Lanzhi, but said to Lu Xingchen meaningfully: "Brother Lu, if you don't ask, how do you know that no one is willing to go with you?"

Lu Xingchen didn't react for a moment, and surprise flashed in his eyes: "Could it be... Junior Brother Gu is willing to go with me?"

He Lanzhi also looked at Gu Qingze with a strange look, as if waiting for his answer.

Gu Qingze signaled him to be patient, and then replied: "As for me... I won't go, I have something else to do. I mean Senior Brother Helan."

After hearing this, Lu Xingchen and Gu Qingze looked at He Lanzhi, but before he could answer, he shook his head.

"Fox? He can't do that. He is the head of the family now. Although he doesn't need to worry about most of the affairs of their family, he still needs to make the final decision when it comes to major decisions."

"So even if he is willing, it will be difficult to take care of both. Let's just forget it."

He Lanzhi quickly retorted: "Xingxing, even if something happens, I can handle it remotely, there is no conflict."

Lu Xingchen looked at him with some surprise: "You...really want to go with me?"

Although He Lanzhi hesitated, she still mustered up the courage under Gu Qingze's encouraging eyes: "Of course I want to go with Xingxing."

However, he lacked the courage. He lowered his head halfway through his words, his voice getting weaker and weaker, "But...if Xingxing doesn't want to, then I..."

Lu Xingchen looked at him like this and touched his head helplessly: "If you are willing to accompany me, I will naturally be happy."

"But... why are you so timid now? You teased me before, and were so shameless, and you remained the same even when I scolded you. Was it all a disguise?"

He Lanzhi bit her lower lip, and after a moment she spoke slowly: "If I...if I say that there is some sincerity in it, Xingxing...are you willing to believe it?"

Lu Xingchen smiled and did not answer directly. He just patted his shoulder again and said, "Then let's get ready tonight and set off early tomorrow morning."

Then, he looked at Gu Qingze: "Junior Brother Gu, goodbye. I wish you good training and a breakthrough soon."

Gu Qingze nodded: "I wish you all a pleasant journey and a safe trip."

Lu Xingchen also nodded, stood up, and left without waiting for He Lanzhi.

He Lanzhi looked at his back, her heart filled with indescribable joy and anticipation.

He looked at Gu Qingze with gratitude, then caught up with Lu Xingchen, walked side by side with him, and went back together.

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

Before the sky turned pale, Lu Xingchen and He Lanzhi had already embarked on their farewell journey.

Gu Qingze said goodbye to them again and watched them walk away until they completely disappeared from his sight...

Just as he was about to turn around and go back, he caught a glimpse of a familiar-looking man walking towards him.

Before he could carefully identify it, the man grabbed his collar as if he was grabbing a chicken. Gu Qingze felt his body lighten and he was already flying into the air.

This method...why does it feel so familiar...

He suddenly remembered that his master always carried him like this...

Could it be that the master took the beauty pill and transformed into a man?

"Hey, my friend, why are you silent and not even struggling? Are you scared by my sudden action?"

The man smiled and there was a hint of teasing in his tone.

Gu Qingze was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer, so he simply skipped this question and asked, "Um... have we ever met before?"

Murong Jin smiled when he heard this: "My friend, your memory is really bad. Although we only met once, I have remembered you firmly in my heart."

"My name is Murong Jin... How about it, have you remembered anything?" There was some anticipation in his words.

Gu Qingze nodded, and suddenly realized: "You are the one who asked me and Ling Xiao to hand over a mysterious item to Master last time, and you are also the only magic cultivator in Qingyun Sect."

"I'm glad you remembered it." Murong Jin curled his lips and chuckled, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes, "If you can't remember your name after I tell you, I'll be sad."

Gu Qingze secretly complained in his heart: You and I don’t know each other well, and besides... I don’t see that you look sad at all.

However, his expression remained calm, and he asked as if he was asking for advice humbly: "Then Senior Murong, where are you taking me?"

Murong Jin did not answer his question directly, but just smiled mysteriously: "Then don't worry about it. Anyway, your master has agreed to let me borrow you, so for the rest of the time, just follow me."

Borrow? Gu Qingze was speechless. Why did he feel like he was being treated as an object? Why didn't he ask him if he agreed?

Of course, he only dared to keep these words in his heart, but he looked like he had no objection.

After all, Murong Jin is a demon cultivator, and his cultivation is unfathomable. It is best not to disobey him easily, so as not to make him unhappy.

After a long while, Gu Qingze finally couldn't help himself and carefully put forward his opinion:

"Senior Murong, I feel really uncomfortable being carried by you like this. Could you please let me change my position?"

"Or you can let me fly with you on my sword. Maybe it will be more comfortable this way."

There was a hint of pleading in his words, and a hint of discomfort in his eyes.

However, Murong Jin seemed not to have heard it and did not react at all.

Seeing this, Gu Qingze added, "I promise, I will never run away when you're not paying attention. I just want to change to a more comfortable position."

Murong Jin heard this, as if he had heard a very interesting joke, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Escape? Haha, don't worry, with your ability, as long as I don't intend to let you go, you don't have the ability to escape from me."

There was a hint of intimidation in his words, as if he was reminding Gu Qingze not to act rashly.

However, Gu Qingze did not care about these, and just responded: "I know my own weight clearly, so... Senior Murong, can you agree to my small request? I just want to change to a more comfortable position."

There was a hint of sincerity in his tone and a hint of expectation in his eyes. Murong Jin was very satisfied with his reaction and finally let him go.

Gu Qingze quickly summoned his sword and flew behind Murong Jin.

........

After flying on the sword for some time, Gu Qingze gradually realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the route, and doubts arose in his heart.

"This... isn't this the route to the Demonic Realm?" He couldn't help but ask out loud, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

Murong Jin turned his head and looked at him, with a playful smile on his face: "Oh, you are not so stupid. You have realized it just after arriving here. Not bad, you are barely worthy of becoming Qiu Shuang's apprentice."

Gu Qingze was speechless. What did she mean by barely worthy of him? She could just answer it, but she had to mock him. This person was really weird.

Fortunately, after Murong Jin "belittled" him, the topic returned to the right track: "We are indeed going to the Demon Realm, which is considered my hometown. Is it not okay for me to go back to my hometown to take a look?"

"That's not the case." Gu Qingze shook his head in confusion, "It's just... why did Senior Murong ask me to follow him?"

Murong Jin did not directly answer his question, but just smiled at him meaningfully: "You will know when you get there. I borrowed you from Qiu Shuang because you are useful and I need you."

Gu Qingze was even more speechless. He had no idea what was going on and didn’t want to pay any attention to this “riddler” who “belittled” him in almost every sentence.

Perhaps because the journey was too long, Murong Jin was a little bored, so he started talking to himself: "Actually... the Demon Realm is not completely my hometown. I am a human-demon hybrid. My mother is human, and my father is a demon."

Gu Qingze didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but adhering to the principle of trying not to upset him, he replied: "Since Senior Murong is a human-demon hybrid, but he went to visit the demon world, did your parents settle in the demon world?"

Murong Jin smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "Only my father is in the demon world. My mother passed away when I was very young."

Gu Qingze was afraid that he would be sad, so he quickly apologized: "Sorry, I... don't know... about your mother."

"It doesn't matter." Murong Jin smiled carefreely, as if he didn't care about it. "My mother was eaten by my father."
