Seeing the playful smile on Gu Qi's face, Gu Lingyao realized that she had fallen into her father's trap. Her face, which was already red, became even redder. She rolled her eyes at Gu Qi and shouted, "I'm ignoring you."
With that, Gu Lingyao ignored Gu Qi and ran away with a red face.
Gu Lingyao didn't know how to feel about her engagement with Xiao Chen. She only felt that her heart was in a mess. Looking at Gu Lingyao's departing figure, Gu Qi shook his head and smiled.
"Little girl, there are some things that you will have to face eventually. With Xiao Chen by your side, I can rest assured."
After speaking, Gu Qi exhorted for a moment, then looked in the direction of the Moonless Empire and said, "Since I've used this kid, I'll give him some compensation. The Burning Sky Ruler is not far from breaking through to the Half-saint realm."
After speaking, Gu Qi disappeared. On this day, the Burning Sky Ruler, who was about to leave, met Gu Qi in the Moonless Empire's Imperial Capital.
No one knew what the two of them talked about, but after speaking, the Burning Sky Ruler disappeared with Gu Qi. No one knew where they went. The warriors of the Heavenly Chen Continent all thought that the Burning Sky Ruler had gone out to train.
Unaware that Gu Qi had gone to find the Burning Sky Ruler, Xiao Chen was currently cultivating in the courtyard.
Originally, he was very curious about the Celestial Equal Sect and planned to go to the Burning Sky Sect's Martial Skill Pavilion to see what kind of martial skills there were. However, looking at the current situation, it was probably impossible.
With Gu Lingyao's matter, if he went to the Martial Skill Pavilion now, he would definitely be surrounded by many disciples. Although Xiao Chen wasn't afraid, it wasn't worth it to make trouble for himself. Therefore, after thinking about it, Xiao Chen decided to obediently stay in his residence.
After a day, no one came to find trouble with Xiao Chen. Obviously, after violently beating up those hundreds of disciples, Xiao Chen's fierce reputation had gradually spread in the Celestial Equal Sect.
Now, all the disciples of the Celestial Equal Sect knew that the newcomer, Xiao Chen, wasn't an ordinary person. It was best not to provoke him. The hundreds of disciples from before were the best proof.
Ordinary disciples didn't dare to look for Xiao Chen, but those genius disciples more or less received some news. Their masters told them not to provoke Xiao Chen if there was no reason.
This result was naturally the best for Xiao Chen, so he was happy with peace and quiet.
However, Xiao Chen didn't want to be married to Gu Lingyao, after a night of cultivation, until the next morning, Xiao finally went to Gu Lingyao's residence, Gu, Gu. After a night cultivation, until the next morning, Xiao finally finally came to Gu, Gu, Gu....
He didn't have any intention of getting married to Gu Lingyao, but Xiao Chen knew that he couldn't convince Gu Qi to rescind the order by himself. He needed Gu Lingyao's help.
As Gu Qi's only daughter, if Gu Lingyao was unwilling to get married to Xiao Chen, then things would be easy to handle. Gu Qi couldn't possibly force his own daughter, right?
Because of this, Xiao Chen came and prepared to talk to Gu Lingyao face to face. He gently knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened and a maid poked her head out. She looked at Xiao Chen and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
"I'm Xiao Chen. I'm here to look for Miss Gu," Xiao Chen replied softly to the maid's question.
Xiao Chen? Hearing this, a smile quickly appeared on the maid's face. She put away the guard in her heart and warmly invited Xiao Chen into the courtyard.
"Young Master Xiao Chen, you're here to look for Miss Gu, right? Miss Gu is in the backyard right now. Let me bring you there. "
Since she was so warmly welcoming him, the maid must have misunderstood. However, Xiao Chen didn't explain anything. This kind of situation would only make things worse if he explained. The most important thing now was to have a good talk with Gu Lingyao and reach a consensus.
Under the maid's lead, Xiao Chen quickly arrived at the backyard. Once he entered the backyard, the maid happily shouted, "Miss, Young Master Xiao Chen is here to see you."
Following the maid's words, Gu Lingyao, who was originally cultivating in the courtyard, immediately looked at Xiao Chen. Seeing that it was indeed Xiao Chen, Gu Lingyao's cheeks instantly turned red.
"What are you doing here?" Although her face was red, Gu Lingyao pretended to be calm and asked.
Hearing Gu Lingyao's words, Xiao Chen didn't notice her abnormality and said with a calm expression. "There's something I want to talk to you about."
It was a simple sentence, but in Gu Lingyao's ears, it caused her heart to be in a mess.
"What does he want to talk to me about? Could it be about the engagement? Aiya, if he really wants to be engaged to me, what should I do? I … "
With thousands of thoughts in her mind, Gu Lingyao was momentarily stunned. In the end, it was Xiao Chen who coughed softly. Gu Lingyao came back to her senses and a trace of panic flashed across her eyes. She said to her maid helplessly, "You can leave first. I want to talk to Xiao Chen alone."
She was obviously nervous. At this moment, Xiao Chen also noticed that something was wrong with Gu Lingyao. After the maid left, the two of them sat down on a stone bench in the courtyard. Xiao Chen looked at Gu Lingyao and asked curiously, "Is Miss Gu feeling unwell?"
"No … no." Being stared at by Xiao Chen, Gu Lingyao stuttered a little as she replied.
She wasn't feeling unwell, but Gu Lingyao's appearance was clearly different from usual.
Although she was puzzled, Xiao Chen didn't pursue the matter. Since Gu Lingyao didn't want to talk about it, then forget it. Business was more important. Xiao Chen's expression turned serious as she spoke to Gu Lingyao in an extremely serious manner.
"Erm, Miss Gu, about the engagement between the two of us …"
"Ah, engagement? What do you want? Don't tell me you really want to be engaged to me? " Xiao Chen had just opened her mouth when Gu Lingyao heard the word 'engagement'. She was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She jumped up and spoke incoherently.
Gu Lingyao's huge reaction startled Xiao Chen. But judging from her appearance, it seemed like she didn't want to be engaged to her? This made things easier. If Gu Lingyao wasn't willing to be engaged, then the two of them could just go to Gu Qi and reject him directly.
With this thought, Xiao Chen said happily.
"Miss Gu also doesn't want to be engaged? That's great. This way, the two of us can go directly to the Sect Master and ask him to retract his order. After all, Miss Gu is the only daughter of the Sect Master. The Sect Master definitely won't force Miss Gu. "
Gu Lingyao also didn't want to be engaged. This really saved a lot of trouble. The words that they had prepared were now saved.
Originally, they thought that the matter would be settled smoothly. But after hearing Xiao Chen's words, the originally shy Gu Lingyao's expression instantly darkened. She looked at Xiao Chen angrily and questioned.
"Xiao Chen, do you not want to be engaged to me? What do you mean by this? Do you think that I, Gu Lingyao, am not worthy of you? "
