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

[When Ling Xiao completes all the key plots, please let me know, thank you. ]

Gu Qingze seemed to have made some important decision. After sending this message to Feng Ying, he left quietly...and his whereabouts were unknown.

.......

More than three hundred years passed, and Feng Ying had been closely following Chu Lingxiao's progress.

When he observed that Chu Lingxiao had reached the expected standards and properly handled everything related to it, he remembered the message that Gu Qingze had sent before.

So, he sent a message to Gu Qingze:

[Chu Lingxiao is about to go to Qingyun Sect to meet you, and is currently on his way. ]

Gu Qingze did not reply to him.

However, Feng Ying didn't care much about it.

He has already informed him, and as for whether Gu Qingze has seen the message, that is his own business.

.......

Qingyun Sect, Hidden Sword Peak——

Chu Lingxiao hurried back to Qingyun Sect, fully expecting to see the figure he most longed to see.

However, when he arrived at Cangjian Peak, he found it empty and silent.

He couldn't help feeling a sense of loss in his heart, and his thoughts drifted back to more than three hundred years ago.

At that time, he lost control and stabbed Qingze, causing him to fall off the cliff. Qingze's incredulous look was like a brand, deeply engraved in his mind.

Although he was completely out of control and his consciousness was extremely blurred at the time, the memory was retained intact in his mind.

He clearly remembered every detail of how he had hurt Qingze. The pain and regret were like a knife cutting him, making it difficult for him to let go.

He clearly knew that he would be able to see Qingze again thanks to the plot, and he went there with such expectations and emotions.

But...when he actually met Qingze, things did not develop as he expected.

He couldn't help but start to worry, was Qingze so heartbroken by him that he didn't want to see him again? This thought filled him with guilt and uneasiness.

Just when Chu Lingxiao's thoughts were as disorganized as flying catkins and his mood was getting increasingly depressed, suddenly, a pair of gentle yet firm arms quietly wrapped around him from behind and hugged him tightly.

At that moment, it seemed as if a brilliant ray of light penetrated the heavy haze, and endless warmth and deep love slowly surrounded him like a trickle of water.

"Ling Xiao, you've worked hard." Gu Qingze's voice, as gentle as the spring breeze, sounded softly in his ears.

Hearing these words, Chu Lingxiao's tense heartstrings instantly relaxed, and all his worries and uneasiness seemed to dissipate with this call.

He stood there quietly, letting Gu Qingze hold him, feeling the long-lost warmth and peace of mind. It was as if at this moment, the whole world had stopped, leaving only the two of them, clinging to each other in this tranquility and beauty.

After a long time, Gu Qingze slowly loosened his embrace. At the moment of loosening, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and his gaze slowly fell on Chu Lingxiao's face.

Chu Lingxiao also seemed a little at a loss. He looked back at Gu Qingze, and their eyes met in the air.

Although their longing for each other in their hearts never stopped like a surging tide, they had been apart for so long that they felt a little overwhelmed when they met again.

They don't know how to break this subtle atmosphere, let alone where to start to reconnect those emotional ties that were once familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar.

In the end, it was Chu Lingxiao who broke the subtle silence first: "Qingze, I'm sorry."

This was something Gu Qingze had not expected. When he heard Chu Lingxiao's apology, he seemed a little flustered: "Lingxiao, why...are you apologizing to me?"

Chu Lingxiao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Gu Qingze to ask this. After a moment, he whispered, "More than three hundred years ago, at Qiying Peak... I..."

Gu Qingze gently interrupted him: "No need to apologize, Ling Xiao. I know you were controlled at that time and had no choice."

"Besides...it didn't hurt. I recovered quickly." Gu Qingze said in a soothing tone with a faint smile on his face.

However, the more he comforted her, the more distressed Chu Lingxiao felt. His eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but rush to Gu Qingze, hugging him tightly and burying his face in his neck.

Gu Qingze hugged him back, and after a while, he felt the clothes on his shoulders were a little wet. He carefully patted Chu Lingxiao's back gently to comfort him.

"It's okay, it's all over." He said softly.
