Everyone can see that this was not Hua Chiyu's original intention. She was compromising for Gu Changnian.
Xu Gaizhi didn't care that the two masters were here. He rushed over and grabbed Gu Changnian by the collar and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know how Chi Yu feels about you? How can you say such hurtful words to her?!" After that, he punched Gu Changnian in the face.
"Change it!" Hua Chiyu pulled him and shook her head with tears in her eyes.
Gu Changnian was knocked to the ground, then slowly knelt up again. With bruises on the corners of his mouth, he clasped his fists and begged again, "Master and Immortal Master, please take back your order."
Xu Gaizhi was about to move forward, but Hua Chiyu immediately pulled him back with force, shouting, "Stop embarrassing me!" Her voice was trembling and tears were falling.
It was a happy event, but it turned out like this. The scene was extremely embarrassing.
Guan Yue looked at Hua Chiyu with pity, and nodded while suppressing his anger: "I am overly concerned. You should make your own decisions on your own affairs." Then he nodded slightly to He Qing: "Goodbye."
看着心爱之人受此种屈辱还能维持大家的体面,鹤卿对观月真是由衷的佩服.反观徐改之,若不是有花池雨一直干涉,只怕是还想狠揍顾长念几拳.
Before Hua Chiyu pulled Xu Gaizhi away, she looked at Gu Changnian with tears in her eyes, but still got no response, so she finally turned around and left Beifeng.
Yue Qingru and the others who were waiting to see the excitement actually became quiet after seeing the "excitement". Yun Chu was the first to bow to He Qing and said, "Master, since we have finished our business here, Chen Yue and I will take our leave first."
Yue Qingru hurriedly took their arms, one on each side, and said, "Then Master, I, I will go and see them off."
The corridor fell silent again, and Gu Changnian was still kneeling on the ground.
He Qing took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He turned around to look for Lu Li and said calmly, "Get up. Everyone has left."
"Why did you arrange my marriage with Chi Yu?"
Gu Changnian's voice was very low, but no emotion could be heard. He Qing did not turn around, but said as a matter of course: "Didn't you and Chi Yu make a covenant with each other a long time ago? Guanyue and I just want to fulfill your wish."
"Achieve your wish? When will Chi Yu and I make a covenant with each other?"
He Qing heard Gu Changnian's voice gradually rise from low to high, and from far to near, and knew that he had stood up and approached, but He Qing still did not turn around, but rolled his eyes speechlessly and blurted out: "Didn't you tell each other your true feelings when you were in Gu Village?"
Gu Changnian looked at He Qing's back, feeling her undisguised indifference, tightened the string of reason in his mind, and asked, "How did you know about this?"
"..." He Qing knew that he had let the cat out of the bag, so he pretended to be calm and said vaguely: "There were many disciples in Tianxuan Mountain that day, so it's not surprising that one or two of them became the ear-reporting gods. On the contrary, you, since you promised to spend your life with the girl, you should be responsible."
"That was just a vow to live and die together, how could it become a lifelong covenant?" Gu Changnian took another step forward, "Master, do you really want me to get engaged to Chi Yu?"
He Qing had always been impatient when facing Gu Changnian. For example, right now, she was no longer willing to waste words. She turned her head and looked at Gu Changnian coldly, sneering expressionlessly: "What? Do you suspect that letting you marry Chi Yu is to harm you? You don't agree, and no one is forcing you, so why are you unhappy?"
Gu Changnian vaguely heard the sound of a string breaking in his mind. Before he could figure out what to do, he had already clamped He Qing's arm with both hands, and said with a complicated expression: "Why shouldn't I be happy? You should be asking this question to Master! In the past six months, you have been good to me, sometimes bad, sometimes cold, sometimes hot. You wanted to distance yourself from me, but you also saved me time and time again. What on earth are you thinking and what do you want to do? How else do you want to torture me?!"
Gu Changnian spoke very quickly, and his two hands seemed to be restraining He Qing fiercely. In He Qing's impression, he seemed to have never spoken to him in such a rude and insane manner. After a moment of surprise, He Qing immediately sent out a gust of wind to push him away several steps, and then tied him up and hung him under the beam with a shadow.
"You are amazing." He Qing looked at him indifferently and said softly, "As someone who stabbed me and wanted to destroy my cultivation while I was going through a tribulation, how can you say this in such a high-sounding way?"
Gu Changnian was stunned when he heard this.
He Qing couldn't help but laugh sarcastically at his reaction. "Oh, so you forgot that we had a grudge? Or, because I would forgive you no matter what you did before, you deleted these two glorious episodes from your memory?"
"…"
"Let's stop pretending," He Qing said gently as he sorted out his robes, "I don't care how you suspect me, but your marriage with Chi Yu has just been presented to you. You didn't want it, so don't blame me if anything goes wrong in the future."
He Qing left without putting Gu Changnian down from the beam before leaving.
Of course, if Gu Changnian wanted to, he could do it, but his mind was blank at the moment and he completely forgot to resist.
Today, he saw a side of his master that he had never shown before. Even though his master had been distant from him over the past six months, he had never spoken to him in such a sarcastic tone.
Gu Changnian thought, maybe his master was right and he just took it for granted.
Over the years, he had done many things that seemed outrageous to outsiders in order to rebel against his master, but his master never blamed him afterwards and was always at a loss as to why he could not accept her feelings.
Out of habit, he actually forgot that his master would also be sad.
So everything that Master has done in the past six months is because he has been truly hurt, which is why he is like this now?
Then… why did the master show mercy to him and save him from danger several times? Or was it a subconscious choice?
If this is the case, then, should the master still have some...
What is there?
Gu Changnian didn't dare to think about it any further.
※
"Foul air." He Qing muttered as he walked towards Lu Li's room, reflecting that he should not have settled this marriage out of sympathy for Guanyue and with a bit of luck.
But now, looking at Guanyue's heartbroken state, not only her feelings for Hua Chiyu have become stronger, but Gu Changnian also suspects that she has ulterior motives. The already torn relationship is now even more shattered.
He Qing turned the corner with a gloomy face and immediately saw Lu Li leaning against the pillar with his arms folded.
Lu Li looked at her with a smile and said, "What a great emotional drama between a master and a disciple."
