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

"Ling Xiao, come with me to the night market tonight."

Gu Qingze just mentioned it casually like a daily check-in, he knew Chu Lingxiao would not agree.

"Okay, wait for me for a moment, I'll go with you after I return the books I borrowed."

"Since you're not going... Hey, you actually agreed!"

Gu Qingze was a little excited, he was really excited from the bottom of his heart.

I didn't expect the previous plan to be so effective. It seems I have to give more bonuses to those four classmates.

"Are you surprised that I will go?"

"No! Absolutely not! Then I'll go get ready first."

Chu Lingxiao looked at Gu Qingze's flustered look and a smile appeared on his face.

I just agreed to accompany him to the night market. If passers-by who don't understand the situation saw it, they would think I gave him a precious gift.

…………

In addition to the immortal cultivation families, Qingyun City also has some ordinary people who cannot practice. This is the area under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect. In this turbulent era, it is a great blessing to live a peaceful and happy life as long as you pay the protection fee.

There are many kinds of food in the night market, most of which sell snacks. Unfortunately, the cultivators have already started fasting and cannot eat any food, otherwise it will create impurities in the body and be detrimental to their practice.

He could only look at the other things. Gu Qingze felt helpless. The aroma of delicious food was wafting everywhere, but he couldn't taste it. It was really a torture.

After walking for a while, Gu Qingze stopped in front of a small stall.

"what happened?"

Chu Lingxiao followed Gu Qingze's gaze and saw a necklace that was exquisitely crafted and contained a hint of spiritual power.

"Spiritual weapon?"

But it is also normal. There are also a small number of cultivators in the night market who sell the spiritual weapons they have refined or no longer need.

"Boss, I bought this spiritual weapon!"

After Gu Qingze thought the price was reasonable, he paid without hesitation.

The Gu family is the largest dealer in spiritual weapons in the market. Identifying the functions of spiritual weapons and judging their value are skills that every member of the Gu family must learn from childhood. Although Gu Qingze is not from this world, he knows most of it based on his memory.

This spiritual weapon has a defensive and protective function. Although it can only resist attacks below the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is sufficient for daily use.

"For you."

"Give it to me?"

Chu Lingxiao was somewhat incredulous.

He had just seen the entire transaction process in front of the stall. This necklace was not cheap.

Ever since he could no longer gather spiritual energy and could not practice, his monthly income was pitifully low. It would take him at least twenty years to afford this necklace.

"This is too expensive, I can't accept it."

He didn't want to owe Gu Qingze too much. According to his own understanding, if someone gave him a gift, he should give a gift of the same value in return.

Although Gu Qingze only had a spur-of-the-moment idea, he did have plans in this regard.

In school, they would not dare to bully Chu Lingxiao because they did not want to offend the Gu family, but during the time when he returned to the Chu family, they were powerless to do anything.

The last time he was able to protect him was because he happened to be by his side, but it was impossible for him to arrive in time to protect him all the time.

Although he knew that Chu Lingxiao's life would not be in danger, he still wanted to provide him with some protection to reduce his injuries.

Gu Qingze felt a little distressed. If he had known earlier, he would not be so impulsive.

He just bought it because he thought it was suitable, without considering the burden Chu Lingxiao would have to bear. If he had known earlier, he would have bought it secretly and then lied to him that it was very cheap.

But he had already bought it, and as spiritual weapons were one of the three most profitable industries, anyone with common sense would know that it was not cheap. Chu Lingxiao was so smart that he would definitely not be able to hide it from him.

How can I get him to accept it? It’s my first time giving a gift and I have to think so much about it. Wait, I figured it out!

"You don't understand. I'm making an investment that will never lose money. When you become successful in the future, you can give me something more valuable."

When Chu Lingxiao heard this, his heart was a little disturbed, and he asked tentatively.

"What if I still can't practice in the future and can only be an ordinary person for the rest of my life?"

How is that possible? You are the hero of this novel, and your current experiences are all preparations for your future counterattack and slap in the face.

This is what Gu Qingze thought, so he said this.

"Believe me, your current experience is only temporary. You will definitely be able to continue practicing. You will achieve greater success and have a better future!"

Perhaps it was because Gu Qingze's eyes were too sincere under the light of the fire, or perhaps it was because his words were too firm. Chu Lingxiao knew clearly that he was comforting him, and knew clearly that he was just finding an excuse for him to accept the necklace, but he still couldn't help but believe it.

When he was unable to practice and even doubted himself, the words "Believe me..." were too pleasant to the ear and too important, as if they gave Chu Lingxiao a rock that increased his confidence.

"You are the only one who chooses to believe me..." Chu Lingxiao was a little moved.

He did not choose to expose Gu Qingze's clumsy lies.

After adjusting her mood, she gave him a faint smile.

"Then I'll accept it. But I have to tell you beforehand..."

Before Chu Lingxiao could finish speaking, Gu Qingze gently put the necklace on him.

too close!

It was so close that one could feel the warmth of Gu Qingze's exhaled breath falling on Chu Lingxiao's neck when he lowered his head.

Chu Lingxiao didn't know why, but his body seemed to be still and he didn't dare to move at all. His heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest.

He didn't know why, he just knew that he felt a little strange.

He quickly and awkwardly distanced himself from Gu Qingze.

Gu Qingze looked at the necklace on Chu Lingxiao's neck with satisfaction. The necklace had intricate yet orderly textures. The most important thing was that in the middle was a pure black gem without a trace of impurities, just as pure and beautiful as Chu Lingxiao's eyes.

He would not tell him that he was attracted to the necklace not only because of its defensive and protective function, but more importantly because of the gem in the middle of the necklace that was as beautiful as his eyes.
