"You're still the same. You haven't changed at all, but you seem to have changed a lot. At least, you feel different from before."
The song ended.
Ye Tianlan slowly stood up. On the lonely peak in the sea of clouds, the wind whistled. Her red gauze dress fluttered in the wind, and her black hair danced in the wind. Coupled with her beautiful face, she looked extremely charming.
"What hasn't changed is your nature. What has changed is your state of mind."
Ye Tianlan walked towards a pavilion at the top of the lone peak and softly said, "Back then, you were young and frivolous, unrestrained and unrestrained. What you pursued was gratification and revenge. Now, you are free and unrestrained. What you pursue is to do as you please. Back then, in order to survive, you went against the flow. Now, in order to pursue karma, you are gradually drifting away."
Ye Tianlan's voice was just like her, giving off a dignified yet peerless aura.
She walked to the pavilion, picked up a bright red wine jug, and poured two cups of wine. Only then did she raise her head and look at Gu Qingfeng. She said softly, "Aren't you going to sit down and have a drink?"
Gu Qingfeng didn't stand on ceremony. He walked over and sat down.
Back then, he couldn't see through Ye Tianlan. Today, he still couldn't see through her. Moreover, he was even more confused than before.
"We haven't seen each other for almost three or four hundred years, right?" Ye Tianlan raised her cup and Gu Qingfeng nodded. The two of them clinked their cups and drank it all in one gulp. The wine was very special. It did not have any taste, just like clear water. However, after it entered his throat, Gu Qingfeng had a hazy feeling, as if he was drunk.
"What wine is this?"
Gu Qingfeng's body had been tempered countless times by the Nine Nether Ancestral Fire and had undergone nirvana rebirth countless times. The existence of his body was like a unique world. There were very few good wines that could make him drunk. Even when he secretly drank the strong wine that the Nine Nether Old Demon had collected, he had never been drunk from a cup of wine.
"Wine of the heart."
Ye Tianlan smiled faintly.
"Wine of the heart?" Gu Qingfeng had never heard of it.
"Wine of the heart."
Ye Tianlan repeated with certainty and continued, "The wine in the heart intoxicates the heart but not the person. If the heart wants to be intoxicated, one cup is enough. If the heart doesn't want to be intoxicated, the wine in the heart is like clear water."
Ye Tianlan poured another cup for Gu Qingfeng and said with a smile, "You seem to want to get drunk."
Gu Qingfeng really wanted to get drunk. As his physical body became more complex and more abnormal, he had not been drunk for a long time. As for the last time he was drunk, he had long forgotten. If it was under normal circumstances, Gu Qingfeng would definitely drink to his heart's content. However, in front of Ye Tianlan, Gu Qingfeng felt that it was better to be careful. If he was fooled by a woman the first time, he would be a fool the second time.
"When did you become so timid?"
Perhaps it was because she saw through Gu Qingfeng's thoughts, Ye Tianlan smiled helplessly and said, "Or... even now, you are still brooding over what happened back then. In my impression, Gu Tianlang is not a narrow-minded person."
"That is only in your impression. I have always been a narrow-minded person."
"So?"
"There is no so." Gu Qingfeng did not have a good impression of Ye Tianlan. When he spoke, he naturally would not be polite. He asked, "Why did you lead me into the dream?"
"We can be considered old friends. After not seeing each other for so long, shouldn't we catch up?"
"Okay, then let's catch up."
Although Gu Qingfeng warned himself to be careful, he still drank cup after cup of wine without stopping.
Ye Tianlan just sat opposite him. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Gu Qingfeng with a smile. After a long while, she said, "It seems that you have experienced a lot in these years. Although your nature has not changed, the arrogance that dared to compete with the heavens when you were young has decreased a lot. The tyrannical temperament that was honed seems to have been restrained."
Gu Qingfeng drank another cup of wine and said, "When did you learn to read faces?"
"The face is born from the heart. Have you forgotten?"
"Is that so? Then what else did you see? "
"Loneliness."
Ye Tianlan stared at Gu Qingfeng's dark and quiet eyes and said faintly, "When I first saw you, I could feel your loneliness. Now that I see you again, I don't need to feel it anymore. Perhaps you have not realized that the loneliness in your heart has long been incurable."
"Loneliness?" Gu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Why can't I feel it?"
"You just don't want to admit it."
Gu Qingfeng shrugged and said, "Loneliness is loneliness. It's not like I can't lose some meat." After a pause, he raised his head and drank the wine in the cup and said, "What's more, who in the world is not lonely?"
"Ha!" Ye Tianlan laughed involuntarily and said, "Who in the world is not lonely? Well said …" Then, she thought of something and asked, "Do you think I am lonely?"
Gu Qingfeng did not even think and directly replied with three words, "I don't know."
"Okay, then do you think I have changed?"
Gu Qingfeng shook his head again and still replied with three words, "I don't know either."
"Haha."
Ye Tianlan shook her head slightly and said with a helpless smile, "You really don't know anything. Could it be … I am so annoying to you? So annoying that you are so careless even when talking to me about old times? "
She sighed faintly and said, "No wonder everyone says you are a heartless person. They really did not wrong you at all. I loved you back then, loved you so deeply …"
Before she finished speaking, Gu Qingfeng, who was drinking, almost spat out a mouthful of wine.
"I say, sister, it's not that we can't talk about old times, but can we be a little more serious? Don't play these superficial tricks, okay? "
Ye Tianlan looked at Gu Qingfeng and said very seriously and sincerely, "Do I look very indecent when I am stumped?"
Gu Qingfeng could not answer this question, so he chose to be silent and drank another cup of wine.
Don't say it.
This thing was really worthy of being called the wine of the heart. The more he drank, the more hazy he felt. That kind of hazy feeling was not the hazy consciousness. It was really like the hazy heart. It was an indescribable feeling.
After another moment of silence, Ye Tianlan opened her mouth again and asked, "You … don't you have anything to say to me?"
Hearing this, Gu Qingfeng was startled and asked, "For example?"
"For example, why did I fall in love with you back then …"
"Stop, stop!" Gu Qingfeng interrupted him and said, "Can't you speak like a human?"
"Okay, then let's not joke around. Speak human language seriously." Ye Tianlan changed her posture and sat upright. She said solemnly, "Deep in your heart, you have always wanted to know why I tried so hard to become immortal companions with you back then, right?"
This sentence was to the point. This was indeed the question Gu Qingfeng wanted to know the most.
"If not for this, I'm afraid you wouldn't have, right?"
Gu Qingfeng nodded. He did not deny it. If he did not want to understand this question, he did not want to see Ye Tianlan at all.
