Xiao Chen was originally full of joy, but when he heard Gu Lingyao's words, he was dumbfounded on the spot. What was going on? How could she change her attitude so suddenly? Didn't she say that she didn't want to be engaged?
The speed at which Gu Lingyao changed her attitude was so fast that Xiao Chen was not prepared for it at all. Previously, she looked like she was unwilling to be engaged to him, but now, she was inexplicably angry.
Could it be that she wants to be engaged to me? This thought suddenly appeared in his mind, but as soon as it appeared, it was heartlessly rejected by Xiao Chen.
Impossible, absolutely impossible. He had no feelings for Gu Lingyao at all. How could she be willing to be engaged to him?
Here, although Gu Lingyao was usually eccentric, Xiao Chen knew that women like Gu Lingyao, whether it was Qin Shuirou, Flower Fairy, or Gu Lingyao, would not casually accept a man.
These three women valued relationships very much, and at the same time, their standards were very high. Ordinary people could not enter their eyes at all. He and Gu Lingyao had only been together for less than a month, and there was almost no communication between them. Therefore, it was simply impossible.
He did not believe that Gu Lingyao would have feelings for him, but this was not the case. After hearing that she was going to be engaged to Xiao Chen, Gu Lingyao's heart was in a mess.
She was a little conflicted, a little happy, and a little angry, but more than that, she was shy. She did not know what was going on, but what was certain was that this was not love. At most, it was a good impression. At this moment, Gu Lingyao had a good impression of Xiao Chen, but that was all. There was still a long way to go before she fell in love with Xiao Chen.
Of course, Xiao Chen did not know what Gu Lingyao was thinking. At this moment, after being reprimanded by Gu Lingyao, Xiao Chen looked at her speechlessly. He did not know what this little girl was up to.
Faced with Xiao Chen's gaze, the anger in Gu Lingyao's heart quickly dissipated. She did not dare to look at Xiao Chen, as if she had done something wrong.
"You can go, I'm a little tired, I …"
As she spoke, Gu Lingyao personally pushed Xiao Chen out of the courtyard. Then, Gu Lingyao closed the courtyard door with a bang.
After being reprimanded for no reason and then being chased out for no reason, Xiao Chen stood outside the courtyard door with a helpless and puzzled expression. What was this woman trying to do?
Originally, he wanted to have a good talk with Gu Lingyao, but it seemed impossible now. After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Chen could only turn around and leave, thinking that he would come back tomorrow.
After Xiao Chen left, Gu Lingyao, who was in the courtyard, was still blushing. Her mind was in a mess, and all kinds of emotions uncontrollably surfaced in her heart.
Facing the engagement with Xiao Chen, Gu Lingyao was nervous and conflicted. However, when Xiao Chen said those words and when she heard that Xiao Chen did not want to be engaged to her, Gu Lingyao did not know why but she felt unhappy in her heart. She was angry, but more than that, she was sad and disappointed.
After letting her imagination run wild in the courtyard for a long time, Gu Lingyao finally pouted as if to comfort herself. "Hmph, stupid Xiao Chen, ugly Xiao Chen, what do you mean by this? I haven't even done anything yet and you're already unwilling. Fine, since you don't want to be engaged to me, then I'll insist on being engaged to you. Let's see what you can do about it, hmph."
She found a way out for herself. With this thought, Gu Lingyao found that she actually felt much better. Nodding slightly, Gu Lingyao murmured softly, "Yes, I want to be engaged to you. Let's see what you can do about it, ugly Xiao Chen."
He was completely unaware of Gu Lingyao's thoughts. If he knew, Xiao Chen would probably be depressed to death. He originally wanted to make Gu Lingyao give up on the engagement, but who would have thought that this conversation would instead make Gu Lingyao make up her mind. He tried to be clever but ended up making a fool of himself, he tried to be clever but ended up making a fool of himself.
The next day, which was the last day before the engagement, Xiao Chen arrived at Gu Lingyao's residence early in the morning. However, he learned that Gu Lingyao did not want to see him.
Moreover, this girl even activated the talisman array around Gu Lingyao's courtyard. It was obvious that she was afraid that he would sneak in.
Xiao Chen was completely speechless when he saw that the courtyard was heavily guarded and looked as if it was facing a formidable enemy. What was this girl trying to do? Was she going to fight a war? Not only did she activate the defensive array, she even activated the offensive array.
Without a doubt, as long as he dared to take a step into the courtyard, he would definitely not end up well. This was because the talisman array in Gu Lingyao's courtyard was personally set up by Gu Qi. It was a top-grade talisman array and was far from something that Xiao Chen could break through with his current cultivation. Moreover, Xiao Chen was not a talisman array master. He knew nothing about breaking arrays.
Gu Lingyao was determined not to see him. He waited outside the courtyard for more than four hours, but there was still nothing he could do. Tomorrow was the day of the engagement. Xiao Chen was secretly anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
Just like that, Xiao Chen waited outside Gu Lingyao's courtyard for an entire day. However, in the end, he did not see Gu Lingyao. The next morning, when the sky had just brightened, Tian Guochuan arrived at Xiao Chen's residence. Without any explanation, he directly brought Xiao Chen to the main hall of the Equal Sky Sect.
Being caught by Tian Guochuan and having his cultivation sealed, Xiao Chen asked with a tearless cry, "Elder Tian, what are you doing?"
"Young Master Xiao, please don't blame me. This old man is also under the orders of the Sect Master to invite you. The Sect Master guessed that you would not be very cooperative, so he specially ordered this old man to bring you here by force and seal your cultivation to prevent you from escaping."
Tian Guochuan replied indifferently to Xiao Chen's question. Hearing this, Xiao Chen did not know what to say.
Escape? He had indeed thought of running, but where could he run to? Moreover, could he escape in the Equal Sky Sect?
He could be considered to have completely realized that Gu Qi was forcing him to do something beyond his ability. Regardless of whether he wanted to or not, Gu Qi did not care about his feelings at all.
Under Tian Guochuan's lead, Xiao Chen quickly arrived at the main hall of the Equal Sky Sect.
Because today was the day of the engagement of Gu Qi's only daughter, Gu Lingyao, it was naturally a major event to the Equal Sky Sect. So, many people had arrived at the main hall early in the morning. Of course, all of them were the true higher-ups and core figures of the Equal Sky Sect.
All the Dao Emperor Realm elders were present. There were a total of twelve of them. At the same time, their disciples were present as well. In other words, they were the geniuses and geniuses of the younger generation of the Equal Sky Sect.
Besides that, there were also some deacons with great authority present. There were already over a thousand people gathered in the main hall. Everyone was seated on cushions on both sides of the hall. At the same time, there was a short table placed before every single one of them. On the table were exquisite snacks, spirit fruits, fine wine, and some side dishes.
