You remained chaste on your wedding night, do you really think this holy son is a simp?

Hearing Gu Changyuan's statement that killing is the only right thing to do, Qin Shuang felt a chill run down her spine.

This is no joke; he's serious.

To kill the elder of law enforcement and then calmly give his reasons is truly frightening.

Qin Shuang opened her mouth, wanting to say a few words of advice to him.

After all, this matter is too big, and the sect will definitely not let it go easily. We have to come up with a way to deal with it.

But when she looked up and saw Gu Changyuan's solemn expression, as if he were stating some truth, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

What are you trying to persuade me of?

His decisive and ruthless manner just now clearly showed that he was aware of the situation.

If I were to say anything discouraging at this point, it would only seem pretentious.

Qin Shuang sighed, and was about to lower her head to sort out her thoughts.

His gaze lowered, landing precisely on the two people's clasped hands.

It was a large, warm hand that was tightly enveloping her hand.

For a moment, Qin Shuang's mind went blank.

The situation was too chaotic and tense just now. She was so focused on worrying and being scared that she didn't notice this at all.

From the moment we were in the square, in front of so many disciples and those three elders, he had been holding my hand the whole time.

The two walked hand in hand, swaggering through crowds and through forests...

Just thinking about this scene makes me blush and my heart race.

Qin Shuang felt a surge of heat rising from the base of her neck, instantly burning up to the back of her ears.

That face, which was originally cool and fair, was now flushed red, as if it had been rouged.

Her steps involuntarily halted.

As she walked further, she didn't know which leg to take the next step.

Gu Changyuan felt that the person he was holding had not kept up, and turned around with some confusion.

"What's wrong?"

He saw Qin Shuang with her head down, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't, and assumed she was still upset about what happened with Chen Yueyao earlier.

Gu Changyuan frowned, and said with a hint of disappointment:

"Senior sister, don't think about it so much."

"With Chen Yueyao's meager cultivation, to put it bluntly, she's not even worth a hair on your head."

"Who are you? What is she?"

"How could you let her bully you like that, and even let her frame you?"

Gu Changyuan sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"You're just too kind and too soft-hearted."

"In this world, kindness is the most useless thing; it can only be used as a tool by others."

"Remember this, if you encounter such a shameless jerk again, don't waste your breath on her."

Gu Changyuan waved his hand and made a chopping motion.

"No need for further explanation."

"Kill them first, then talk!"

"After you kill him, if anyone dares to complain, let him come to me, and I'll take care of it for you!"

These words were spoken with an overwhelming air of dominance.

After he finished speaking, Gu Changyuan noticed that Qin Shuang still didn't move, and her head was lowered even further.

That's not right.

Gu Changyuan followed her gaze downwards.

Ok?

They're still holding hands.

Their fingers were intertwined, pressed tightly together.

Gu Changyuan was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

So that's why.

Indeed, this Senior Sister Qin is usually quite aloof and is known throughout the sect for not being interested in men.

I was actually led by my own hand the whole way today; I guess I was shy.

Gu Changyuan looked at Qin Shuang's earlobes, which were so red they looked like they were about to bleed, and couldn't help but smile with amusement.

I never expected Senior Sister Qin to be so different.

Gu Changyuan not only didn't let go, but instead went even further and squeezed Qin Shuang's palm.

It's soft and feels nice to the touch.

Qin Shuang stiffened and abruptly raised her head.

Her big, watery eyes were filled with shame and anger.

"you......"

She tried to pull her hand away, but Gu Changyuan wouldn't give her that chance.

Gu Changyuan took a step forward, closing in on Qin Shuang.

"Senior sister."

"It's still early. You look travel-worn, so there's no rush to go back."

Gu Changyuan pointed to the misty mountain in the distance, which was where his cave was located.

"Perfect timing, I just had some insights."

"Why don't you come with me to my cave dwelling, Senior Sister, and we...have a discussion?"

Discussing the Dao?

Qin Shuang looked at Gu Changyuan's face, which was so close to hers.

His features were strong and angular, especially his eyes, which were so bright that people dared not look directly at them.

That face is really handsome.

Thinking back to what just happened.

When everyone despised her, condemned her, and even the law enforcement elders wanted to cripple her.

Only Gu Changyuan stood in front of him, blocking all the malice.

He fought against four elders, even resorting to mass killings, all to seek justice for her.

He was even willing to bear the guilt of harming his fellow disciples for her sake.

She never expected that this seemingly carefree and cynical holy son would be willing to go to such lengths for her.

now.

He held my hand like that, and he gazed at me so tenderly.

In Qin Shuang's heart, what thought of refusing was there?

Although that sense of shyness was still there, there was more of a strange sense of security and dependence.

"I......"

Qin Shuang opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that her tongue was tied in knots.

"That...discussion on the Dao..."

She stammered for a long time, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

That shy and bashful appearance—where was the slightest trace of the majesty of a Nascent Soul stage expert?

She's practically a young girl just beginning to experience romantic love.

Seeing her like this, Gu Changyuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

So cute.

Who would have thought that this dignified ice queen would have such an adorable and innocent side in private?

Qin Shuang blushed even more when she heard the laughter.

She looked up, somewhat embarrassed and angry, and glared at Gu Changyuan.

"What are you laughing at!"

"I'm not going..."

The word "了" was not uttered yet.

Gu Changyuan didn't give her that chance at all.

"Alright, stop dawdling."

Gu Changyuan suddenly exerted force and pulled Qin Shuang into his arms.

Qin Shuang cried out in surprise and stumbled forward.

Before she could even stand up straight...

"rise!"

Gu Changyuan gave a soft shout.

A flash of light appeared beneath their feet, and a gentle force instantly enveloped the two of them.

next second.

The two of them rode the wind and soared straight into the sky.

Qin Shuang felt the wind whistling past her ears, and the scenery in front of her rushed past.

She instinctively tried to steady herself, only to find that her hand was still being held tightly by Gu Changyuan.

Due to inertia, she was almost pressed against Gu Changyuan's body.

The feeling of my heart racing was even stronger than when I was facing Elder Zhu.

Gu Changyuan pulled her along as they weaved through the sea of ​​clouds.

The direction is clear.

They headed straight for his cave.

"Since Senior Sister is too embarrassed to agree, then I, Junior Brother, will make the decision for you."

"Tonight, let's have a proper discussion about this Dao!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Qin Shuang pinched Gu Changyuan's waist, but didn't dare to use too much force.
