The Word of Heaven

Chapter 299: Hundred Years of Results
Gu Zhuo thought about it seriously and still felt that he needed to be honest about this matter. He said, "It's mainly because I can't think of a reason to refuse."

Hearing this, Pei Jinge couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

She thought that she should be genuinely happy about the firmness revealed in this sentence, but when she thought that things would become extra complicated because of this, she felt it was too much trouble.

How did things become like this?
Pei Jinge felt so melancholy. He wanted to look up at the sky and turn around and leave, but he could only stand alone and silent on the cliff.

Yu Sheng didn't look at her, his eyes still on Gu Zhuo's, and asked casually, "What's the secondary reason?"

Gu Zhuo thought to himself that of course it was because I was just an ordinary person now. Even if I wanted to refuse Pei Jinge, I didn’t have the ability to do so.

If she holds me, I can only let her hold me, just like the bright moon shining on the river, without holding my waist at most.

Well, he indeed didn't hold her waist, he just hugged her in return.

This is really something that cannot be explained.

"The secondary reason is..."

Just as Gu Zhuo was about to describe the current situation based on objective facts, he suddenly felt a gaze on him.

He was sure that Pei Jinge was still silent, without any movement, maintaining his original expression and attitude, but he also believed that he was being looked at.

That look meant pleading.

To be precise, it is one word.

--Don't.

……

……

Gu Zhuo thought that being unable to refuse was indeed not a suitable reason.

That's like passing the buck.

So he said to Yu Sheng: "I have a very good relationship with her."

Pei Jinge was stunned.

There was dead silence on the cliff.

Yu Sheng looked at Gu Zhuo, making sure that he had not misheard, and chuckled.

Then she said with emotion: "Next, are you going to tell me that the reason why your relationship is good is that I have made an indelible contribution to it?"

When Pei Jinge heard this, he could no longer remain calm and his body became extremely stiff.

She felt that she should do something now, but she didn't know what to do, so she couldn't do anything.

After all, the facts are just as Yu Sheng said.

After that winter, she and Gu Zhuo should have become strangers. The reason they met again in the spring rain in Wangjing and established a true friendship was because of Yu Sheng.

Pei Jinge thought about these past events and his mood gradually calmed down. He felt that he was somewhat innocent after all.

Just at this moment, Gu Zhuo's voice happened to sound, interrupting her self-comfort.

"It's not entirely because of you. I've had a good relationship with her for a long time. Before the summer festival started that year, she once gave me her waist badge to use."

Yu Sheng was stunned.

Her laughter then died away, her brows furrowed and then relaxed, and she looked at Gu Zhuo as if he were an idiot, not knowing what to say at all.

This is especially true for Pei Jinge.

She could no longer pretend to be dead, so she held her forehead with her left hand and looked up suddenly several times, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and finally unable to utter even a single word.

Gu Zhuo looked at Yu Sheng and said, "Things can be explained clearly."

Then he turned to Pei Jinge and said, "You don't have to be so nervous."

These two simple sentences made Yu Sheng and Pei Jinge unable to remain calm anymore and they both shouted out in anger.

"Is that your explanation? You're complaining that I didn't do anything to you!"

"Am I nervous? I want to chop you up with a knife right now!"

The words fell at the same time, Yu Sheng and Pei Jinge were both startled when they heard it, subconsciously glanced at each other, and then turned away.

Gu Zhuo was a little worried, and when he was about to speak, he heard their voices again.

"I think this time today I should be the one to do it to him."

"reason?"

"I trusted his judgement and thought he was going to die, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a thing, so I was actually the victim."

"That makes sense, but I don't agree because he's mine. Even if I have to do something to him, it has to be me."

Yu Sheng refused bluntly.

Pei Jinge was speechless and unable to refute. He could only look at Gu Zhuo hatefully.

Then, she subconsciously thought about how she could legitimately attack Gu Zhuo, and came up with a ridiculous answer.

Gu Zhuo asked, "Before making this decision, shouldn't you ask for my opinion first?"

After hearing this, the two of them calmed down inexplicably and were no longer visibly angry.

It was like a rare consensus had been reached on something.

Pei Jinge stood up and walked back the way he came. Without looking back, he said, "Come over for dinner later."

Yu Sheng said hello.

Gu Zhuo wondered what was going on.
The breeze on the cliff never stops, flowing around the skirt and tangling the hair.

If Gu Zhuo could still hear their voices at this moment, he would probably be able to feel something from their helplessness and would not be so confused.

……

……

"I'm not too angry about this actually."

Yu Sheng looked at Gu Zhuo and said, "This is true."

Gu Zhuo was silent for a moment and said, "But you look very angry now."

Yu Sheng rolled his eyes and asked unhappily, "Are you an idiot?"

Gu Zhuo stopped talking.

"You are not the kind of hopelessly stupid person on weekdays, why do you keep saying stupid things in this matter?"

The more Yu Sheng thought about it, the angrier he became. He said angrily, "I'm unhappy because your first reaction when you saw me was to be at a loss, instead of walking up to me calmly and explaining to me."

Gu Zhuo imagined that scene, shook his head and said, "That sounds really bad."

Yu Sheng forgot to breathe, looked at him with wide eyes, wondering what on earth are you talking about?
Gu Zhuo walked up to her, opened his arms and held her in his arms. The whole process was very smooth.

"Thanks a lot."

"Haha, you think this sentence is okay to hear, right?"

Yu Sheng said this in a cold voice and reached out to push Gu Zhuo away, but found that there was no trace of any true energy flowing in his body, and he was indistinguishable from an ordinary person.

She recalled what happened last winter, the bell that refused to stop ringing, thousands of miles of blood and killing, countless corpses and wind and frost, and her hands became a little stiff.

Gu Zhuo said to himself: "I am very happy to hear Pei Jinge's words at the last moment in Cangzhou."

Yu Sheng's hands on his chest gradually slipped down. After a moment of silence, he said, "It's nothing more than telling the truth. What's there to be happy about?"

Gu Zhuo laughed and said, "Because this is a sentence I wanted to hear many years ago."

The moment he finished speaking, Yu Sheng knew that there was no way he could get angry today, so he closed his eyes.

Then, she hugged him like Gu Zhuo hugged her, and said softly: "You have suffered more than me."

Gu Zhuo said: "It's actually okay."

Yu Sheng didn't say anything, but just hugged him even tighter.

The wind is cold on the cliff and the moonlight is like water.

She is his wife and doesn't want him to feel cold, so this is a very normal and reasonable thing to do, right?

In the distance, Pei Jinge watched the two people hugging each other.

For some reason, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable and thought that this must be her dislike for love.

Yes, you are all great practitioners who have the hope of becoming immortals, but you have fallen into this situation because of love, which is certainly something that makes people unhappy. Pei Jinge said to himself.

……

……

"What were you busy with before?"

"Does this mean you blame me?"

“…Why do you understand this?”

"Spring likes rain, and it's a very suitable season for killing people."

Yu Sheng's tone was very casual, with a nonchalant feel.

Gu Zhuo looked at her profile with some curiosity.

For both him and her, killing is not something strange, as they have experienced it countless times in their lives.

Yu Sheng said calmly: "Go and kill all the people from the Tianming Sect."

Gu Zhuo was a little puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Yu Sheng said as a matter of course: "When they chose to stand by and watch instead of taking action in Cangzhou, I was very unhappy."

Gu Zhuo understood.

If someone else did this, he would think it didn't matter because it didn't matter, but now he is happy about it.

Yu Sheng continued, "If it weren't for you, the bunch of rubbish left behind by Yingxu would have died that autumn. You deserve to die if you can't even recognize such a superficial fact."

Gu Zhuo thought that if he could see you earlier, it would be okay for them to die another day.

He didn't say this because it was inappropriate.

Yu Sheng guessed what he was thinking and said seriously, "We still have a long time in the future."

Gu Zhuo liked this sentence very much and said, "Yes."

The two of them sat on the edge of the cliff, shoulder to shoulder, quietly enjoying the night breeze, letting their hair get tangled together, inseparable.

The moonlight and starlight are bright tonight, and the forest is dyed with silver light. It is very beautiful, like a painting.

The two people in this painting held hands silently. Their fingers were not tightly clasped, but they were able to feel each other's warmth.

Many times, they have something to say, but it's nothing important, just the trivialities of life.

For example, Yu Sheng was curious about how Gu Zhuo caught the fish, how the fish was cooked to make it taste better, and the wonderful fact that the food had improved in recent days.

He kept on talking on and on, endlessly, until the night got dark, when Yu Sheng suddenly remembered something.

"When Pei Jinge was leaving, did he ask us to come over for dinner later?"

"Well, you remembered correctly."

"Then the food should be cold now, right?"

"Yeah, it must be cold."

"Are we still going over to eat? What if Pei Jinge is waiting for us to come over?"

"No, she's not an idiot. She must have eaten it already. There's no need to worry."

Gu Zhuo's expression was very certain and his tone sounded very convincing.

Yu Sheng thought about it and felt that this should be the case.

The next moment, her eyes suddenly became confused and she asked, "Then what should I eat?"

This is actually a very unreasonable statement.

After entering the realm of Dongzhen, practitioners will be able to swallow wind and drink dew, eat clouds and rinse their mouths with dew. They will not feel hungry even if they do not drink or eat for dozens of days.

Gu Zhuo certainly knew this fact.

So he turned his head and looked at Yu Sheng, who was staring at the moon tonight, and thought of a possibility.

Yu Sheng didn't even look at him and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Gu Zhuo didn't say anything and kissed her.

Yu Sheng was slightly stunned, feeling the warmth on his lips. She didn't expect him to be so direct. She was a little stunned and dazed.

What comes out of this astonishment are more different flavors.

It is wet, soft, sticky and elusive.

A long silence.

The two figures on the cliff never separated, and it was extremely quiet.

I don’t know how long it was before the tranquility was broken.

Yu Sheng turned his head away and took a few deep breaths, but still couldn't calm down.

She bit her lip and looked up at the night sky, wondering why the moonlight was brighter than before?
Gu Zhuo's voice sounded nearby.

"You want me to help you sort it out..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Yu Sheng looked at him expressionlessly with a fierce look in his eyes.

But in the next moment, when she thought of her current appearance, her cheeks suddenly became hot.

Gu Zhuo turned his head tactfully.

A very slight rustling sound reached his ears. It was probably Yu Sheng carefully tidying up her clothes.

The movements should be very gentle, but pride is hard to conceal, so it is particularly troublesome to clean up.

So he naturally recalled the things that happened not long ago, and couldn't help sighing and began to miss them uncontrollably.

Those are extremely beautiful things.

After a long time, Yu Sheng finally said okay.

But she still didn't look at Gu Zhuo and said, "It's time to go."

Gu Zhuo looked at her profile and said honestly, "I want to sit for a while longer."

Yu Sheng asked, "What can we do sitting here?"

As she finished speaking, she realized that this sentence could easily be understood in a different meaning, and her body suddenly became stiff.

As expected, Gu Zhuo was surprised and asked, "So fast?"

Yu Sheng closed his eyes, and his cheeks, which had taken a long time to cool down, turned red again and became hot again.

She wanted to seriously object, but when the words came to her mind, she felt that this was really ridiculous.

"Where's the speed?"

Yu Sheng turned around and looked at Gu Zhuo and said, his expression calm and nonchalant.

She said as a matter of course: "How many years has it been since today?"

Gu Zhuo thought that seemed to be the case.

The next moment, he sighed again and said, "But it's not suitable now."

Yu Sheng glanced around, thinking about the stone house, and had to admit that this was indeed the case. He asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Zhuo said, "I can't think of a solution for now, but..."

Yu Sheng frowned slightly, looked at him with some dissatisfaction, and asked, "But what?"

Gu Zhuo said sincerely: "But I don't want to change the date."

Yu Sheng didn't know what to say.

Of course, she didn't want to postpone it, but how could she say such things? She could only remain silent.

After a moment of silence, she smiled and said, "Let's do it another day."

"why?"

"There is no reason. If there must be an answer, it is because of what you did today."
