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

After hearing what Gu Qingze said, Chu Lingxiao's gaze immediately turned to him, his eyes filled with smiles. The brief loss that had been revealed before seemed to be just an illusion and had never really existed.

At this moment, Gu Qingze suddenly realized that Ling Xiao was just teasing him on purpose. After all, Ling Xiao was not that fragile and would not be touched so easily. This action was just to see how he would respond.

But now it seems... Ling Xiao is quite satisfied with his answer...?

Thinking of this, Gu Qingze couldn't help but smile helplessly.

After a while, Chu Lingxiao, Gu Qingze, and Song Jinnian went to Su Han's temporary residence together.

Su Han's guest room was not far from Song Jinnian's room. As if he had noticed their arrival, he had opened the door in advance and leaned against the door frame, waiting for their arrival.

When Song Jinnian saw Su Han, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Brother Su Han, are you...waiting for...us?"

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao saw through Song Jinnian's thoughts at a glance, and involuntarily turned their gazes to Su Han.

Now, they finally understood why Su Ming always looked interested and cheerful when encountering emotional matters related to them, because it was indeed interesting.

Su Han seemed not to notice it, he just nodded slightly and said, "Please come in."

After everyone entered the room, Su Han closed the door and leaned against the wall, holding his sword tightly in his arms, which looked like a treasure.

After so many years, Su Han is still the quiet one, but he is no longer as cold and distant as before, making him difficult to approach. Perhaps it is because after taking revenge, the burden in his heart has finally been lifted...

Speaking of revenge... Gu Qingze couldn't help but recall the city gate incident. In order to avoid suspicion, important members of the Gu family found excuses to leave Qingyun City and have not returned for many years. Su Han must have known about these past events, right?

He couldn't help but look at Su Han and found that Su Han was also staring at him. There seemed to be some thoughts hidden in his eyes, making the atmosphere around them a little subtle.

However, this subtle atmosphere was soon broken by Song Jinnian. Seeing that the two were silent, Song Jinnian enthusiastically pulled them to join the ongoing conversation.

At first, the topic revolved around Song Jinnian and Su Han's daily practice and experiences in the Wanjian Sect, such as the training location, activities held by the sect, etc. The content was quite ordinary.

But as time went on, the topic gradually went off track and turned into a conference for exchanging sword techniques and sharing insights.

Although such a change was unexpected, it was also reasonable. After all, the four people present were all sword practitioners and naturally had a strong interest in swordsmanship.

Especially when Su Han joined the discussion, the topic quickly shifted to the field of swordsmanship. The four sword cultivators were immersed in the discussion of swordsmanship, sharing their own insights and experiences with each other, and they had been chatting for a long time without realizing it.

It was not until the afternoon that Song Jinnian suggested inviting their other two friends - Zhou Yue and Su Ming (they had met at the Dao-breaking Ceremony yesterday, but only exchanged glances), and go out and play together.

After hearing this, Gu Qingze thought it was a good suggestion. After all, among the people present, only Song Jinnian, Zhou Yue and Su Ming were relatively unfamiliar.

But considering Song Jinnian's enthusiastic, cheerful and sociable personality, he believed that this would not be a problem and everyone should be able to get along well.

As expected, Su Ming and Zhou Yue gladly accepted the invitation and went to the market in Qingyun City with them.

On the way to the market, Su Ming quickly became familiar with Song Jinnian. The two walked side by side in front and had a great conversation.

Zhou Yue followed closely behind, listening to their conversation quietly. Whenever they came across a topic of interest, he would join the discussion and share his views.

At the same time, Su Han, Chu Lingxiao and Gu Qingze fell behind the team intentionally or unintentionally.

This was a deliberate decision they made, because before leaving, Chu Lingxiao had quietly told Gu Qingze that he felt Su Han seemed to have something to say to Gu Qingze.

Although they did not ask Su Han directly, the three of them chose to gradually fall behind the team and ended up at the back.

"I'm surprised that you would invite me to your Dao-ending Ceremony." Su Han suddenly said.

Hearing this, Gu Qingze responded without hesitation: "You are our friend, so of course we have to invite you."

Seeing this, Chu Lingxiao gently patted Gu Qingze's shoulder and explained with a hint of helplessness: "Qingze, this is not what Su Han meant."

After Chu Lingxiao's reminder, Gu Qingze finally realized the matter about the Gu family. He turned to look at Su Han, and after a moment of silence, he slowly said:

"I originally thought that after you took revenge, the Gu family's attitude and reaction to that incident would allow you to understand the Gu family's position on the matter."

Su Han responded seriously: "I understand, but I did kill someone from your Gu family. No matter how you react, the facts are the facts. I killed someone, so I killed him..."

"That's right, killing him means killing him." Gu Qingze nodded, indicating that he agreed with Su Han's statement.

Then, he changed the subject and said with some deep meaning: "But you...are also a member of the Gu family, aren't you?"

"I'm not." Su Han denied without hesitation, "I'm from the Su family."

Seeing him like this, Gu Qingze didn't say much. He never forced anything. Isn't there a saying that goes "Don't advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering"?

Regardless of whether Su Han accepts the Gu family or not, the Gu family will always welcome him. However, if Su Han cannot accept the Gu family, he will not force it.

He realized that the haze in Su Han's heart was far more difficult to let go than he had imagined. Although he had avenged his mother, the shadow that had been shrouding his heart for a long time seemed to be difficult to dissipate, becoming a trauma deep in his heart.
